This has been an amazing season on Lost. I would definitely consider it one of the best. (My favorites are 2, 4, and 5 so far.)
I guessed who little Kate was right off. (The Patsy Cline music was a dead giveaway.)
They made good choices in picking the child actors.
I was absolutely ecstatic to see more of the statue. I tried to log on to The Fuselage, when I recognized which Ancient Egyptian (I'm really fascinated by that time and place in history.) deity it was, but my Comcrap connection was acting up(I guess they want me to switch to a competitor.). I never would have guessed that the statue had a crocodile's face. I can't figure out whether the ears on the statue are a goof or what though. From the back, the ears are what had me thinking that it was a giant statue of Anubis. If I can ever start and complete a Lost fanfic, I'm making the statue into one of Anubis (I like that idea better, especially with the way Hurley and Miles see and communicate with the dead.)
Jacob and ?. It kills me that these characters weren't introduced until the last episode of the season. Clearly Jacob doesn't age either. I want to know who/what he is. I want to know the same about the other guy as well (He's been dubbed Esau over at The Fuselage.). The question of free will and the idea that two players are moving their pieces on a gigantic chessboard makes me think of God and The Devil playing chess. (This idea has definitely popped up more than once in various media.)
We finally saw Rose, Bernard, and Vincent. That tickled me. I also loved how laid back Rose and Bernard were. I envy them that quality.
The only thing that bothered me is we never find out what happened to Claire. Hopefully, that's something they will resolve next season.
I would also like to see Walt back in the mix, because I'm fairly certain he has a part to play in the endgame. I definitely think Aaron may too. I would even go so far as to say that Ji Yeon might play a part as well.
Why didn't somebody just knock Radzinsky out, when he insisted on continuing to drill? A lot of misery could have been avoided. (Or am I just oversimplifying?)
I know it's terrible of me to say, but I'm glad Phil got his in the end.
I'm curious to know more about Ilana.
I don't remember seeing Sayid die, although his condition seemed to deteriorate pretty quickly after he got shot. Did he? I hate to see that character go, but he seemed to have lost his reason for living when he saw Nadia get killed. (I also hate to see another fine male character get killed off. In my opinion, Sayid, Sawyer, and Jin are the finest dudes on the island right now. I'd count Mr. Eko and Boone among them, if they were still alive. I also love Hurley in an earthier kind of way. Yes, I'm definitely a Baskin Robbins kind of woman.)
The fist-fight between Jack and Sawyer. The thread on this at The Fuselage had me cracking up (I'll admit, it was pretty amusing, my mother would've been in stitches). This can't be the first time they've come to blows. I would swear this is not the first physical confrontation that they've ever had. In five seasons?
The way everyone was bracing for the explosion after Jack had tossed the nuclear bomb into the hole/pit would've been kind of funny, if it hadn't been so sad.
Juliet...at first, I didn't like her or trust her, but this season for some reason, I feel empathy for her. Elizabeth Mitchell does a fantastic job portraying her. She should definitely get an Emmy, especially for her work last night. What really got to me, is that she was still alive (and obviously very much in pain and seriously injured) lying at the bottom of that hole. I was hoping she'd be out of her misery. Which leads me to...Josh Holloway's performance. He has truly shown that he is not just a pretty face. I'd seen him in some other things, Sabretooth and Mi Amigo mainly (I saw him in the pilot episode to Angel, but he wasn't onscreen very long.). I haven't seen Whisper in it's entirety, so I'm not going to count that. His acting has come a long way, especially this season. Last night, when he was trying so hard to hang on to Juliet, I was close to tears. They were both just amazing. I'd truly love to see him win an Emmy for his work this season, no lie. Sawyer's probably going to be a mess next season, he thought he lost Kate, after being with her for 3 years, now he loses Juliet...Man! Talk about an emotional rollercoaster.
