I agree with Groucho that the writers already planned some stuff out in advance. We do see a lot of questions are being resolved in later episodes. Where in Twin Peaks, we just get a lot of mysteries that are never answered.

Based on what I've seen so far, the Lost writing team appears to have a clear direction in mind, at least for the first couple of seasons.
I don't necessarily mind be strung along over the course of a season as long as there is some degree of satisfying resolution by the season ender.
Some questions answered, some new ones raised. That's to be expected, and is the nature of dramatic episodic television with a continuing story arc. There has to be some carrot dangling over our heads to make us want to keep coming back, and my take is the Lost writers know they have to dole out some conclusions in order to avoid ticking off viewers.

Agreed on both counts. Count me in as another who felt their reconciliation scene was the scene of the episode, and one of the best of the season. Tremendous.
I also thought the interaction between Locke and Hurley in the jungle/dark territory was terrific.

I think her hooking up with him was a just a big slap in the face to Boone. Sayid was the only one listening to her and treating her with respect, who cares what happened prior to getting on the plane. So she saw him, so what, they have to discuss that on screen? A lot of the characters would have been close or maybe interacted at the airport. They were on the same flight and would have been sitting at the same gate.

After watching it, it seemed like apart from the goodbye scenes, and stuff that was shown in the previews, mostly it was flashback stuff. So it's possible they took older footage from the flashbacks shown and found a way to stretch it for the 40 minutes. All the current stuff could have fit into a 2 hour finale.
Just an observation, after hearing some say the show drags out epiosodes and another side that says there is great character development.
