3) Last season there was the whole online thing, and NONE of it was relevant at all.
4) Then theres the numbers....wtf happened to that?
5) Theres a monster going around killing people, and thats never been really explained.
6) Michael just drove away, and we never heard about them again. Now teenage walt appears out of nowhere.
7) Just about any of the others that were killed managed to survive somehow. So theres no reason to think anyone that dies is actually going to stay that way.
8) And for some strange reason, women can't get pregnant, or they'll die, yet rousseau is still alive.
9) Now we're supposed to just believe they get off the island soon? I seriously, seriously doubt it. Even if we are to believe that, how is kate not in jail?
Just watched the finale last night, but I had to reply to this:
1) the hatch was important. Not typing in the numbers in the first time caused the plane to crash. When Desmond turned the key the next time the numbers weren't entered, we found out Penny is out there looking for him and saw the EMP coming from the hatch.
2) The Dharma initiative is still important and Naomi is probably one of them. We only found out recently that Ben's current group is non-Dharma.
3) seemed like it was background info on Dharma, but I never looked at it closely. They aren't going to reveal anything special in the game
4) The numbers had to do with the hatch. There's some magical island properties with them, but they brought the French woman to the island and Hurley became rich. Why do they have to be more significant than that?
5) It is a guard mechanism and probably either part of the island or part of the Hostiles. The show hasn't even gotten into the Hostiles part yet, and there are only a couple things known about the island itself.
6) A lot of the characters have seen visions of dead people or other people from their past. It's probably the island telling Locke to get going. The actor went through puberty so it's not like the writers had a choice to make him high voice Walt, or low voice Walt.
7) We've only seen "special" people come back to life, Patchy and Locke. The show has talked about the island's healing powers: Locke being able to walk, but also Ben taking longer than expected to heal (he does, but more slowly, indicating he's not quite as "special" as Locke or Patchy)
8) overpopulation is bad and the island doesn't want that, so it kills the people who conceive on it. There's probably some more but that's enough for now.
9) I think Naomi was part of the Dharma group and now they have found the island again. They aren't going home soon because I'm sure them going home is the last thing Dharma wants.
I think a lot of people missed the point of the "flash forward." Jack made a decision in this episode to phone the boat, which is the first step to them being rescued. In the future, he wishes he could go back to this moment and give Ben the sat phone. It also showed that Jack and Kate are rescued and live through the next three seasons. It's more of the writers showing that there is an end to the show, but it's not going to be a happy ending for some people.
