good ep this time.. dropping more parts of the over all story line..
I still don't think the season ending eps are going to be much more then yet another slow twist.. I would not be shocked if it end with the haching opening on it's own with no one around and the camera pulls back and fades away.. Maybe pull a pulp fiction/repo man with the hatch opens and we see shocked faces but nothing else..
One of the few shows that I think needs the week to week time gap to really hook one into the show due to all the mini cliff hangers. Not sure the same effect is there if you can just bang past the eps on DVD..

Thank you.
Thank you.
Honest to God, if I get killed before I see the finale next week, I'm gonna be pissed!!

I thought this was the best ep in a few weeks. We got some ?'s answered(The status of Jack's marriage, why the miniature plane was in the safety deposit box)
My favorite part was the Jack/Sawyer scene.

I thought it was one of the best episodes in a while. I liked the farewell scenes, particularly with Sun and Jin, they got the boat in the water, Danielle shows up, Sawyer gets jilted by Kate, the T-Rex returns, and now they are all on the run from "the others". That was plenty for me.
I also like that they divided the backstory this time. Sometimes they can drag the show down, especially the second and third time around. The marshall was great. "Now you know why I need five guns!"

I have a theory that the numbers are some kind of combination that will open the hatch. With Jack and Michelle Rodriguez having seats that also happen to be two of the numbers, I believe that it is more than luck.
A slight spolier regarding Ms. Rodriguez and the show

Both the pilot and Locke saw the t-rex yet only Locke lived...maybe there is an airstrip on the island and the others don't want anyone to leave, that's why the pilot had to die.

Thank you.
I've been posting the same thing in every thread for the past two months.
I'm surprised that the boat set sail already. I figured for sure that would be part of the last few minutes of the finale, to make for a predictible cliffhanger.

It's the next morning and I still can't believe how good the show was last night - there was just so many great parts.
I don't care if the dog scenes were cliched, particularly the last one, they got to me.

Another good ep, but the numbers thing is played out.
People who own dogs can relate to the dog scenes - people who thought it was lame must be cat-people

I actually like the whole numbers thing, but it seems odd to me that Hurley (and Danielle) were so close to the hatch and didn't see the numbers. They must be pretty tiny. We only saw the numbers on it that one time, right?

Numbers are rows. 42F was the seat number I believe. So, 15 and 16 would be two different rows, with A through whatever as seats.
