There's no place like 'Lost'
Some quick "Lost" lowdown:
Did you watch the commercials? Did you see the one for Octagon Global Recruiting? That was a Dharma ad. The site shown in the ad's a real one. Find it here.
Jeremy Bentham? Not an anagram. He's a real dude. He's a 19th-century philsopher, influenced by a great 17th-century philosopher -- John Locke.
The man in Orientation Video No. 6, a man we first met as Dr. Marvin Candle, called himself Dr. Edgar Halliwax in this film. When Ben put on the coat so he'd be warm on his new adventure, the coat was embroidered with the name Halliwax.
What happened to the people on the boat that Daniel was ferrying? We saw them react when the sound and light washed over the ocean, so we know they didn't make it to the freighter. And they weren't on the island. So where are they? Where are Daniel, Rose, Bernard and the other survivors?
Is Sun wanting to work with Widmore ... or wanting to destroy him? (The final freighter scene was a downer. One of the saddest "Lost" moments ever. Where was that island/boat time lapse when we needed it?)
Did you see the coffin thing coming? That one surprised me.
We've got some mysteries to figure out about our red-haired friend Charlotte ...
The scene with the copter crash survivors on the life raft hollering at the boat in the distance ... Did that remind anyone of anything? I was waiting for Mr. Friendly/Zeke/Tom to reappear and say, "We're gonna need to take the boy."
Speaking of the boy, it was nice to see him again. He knows things, you know.
Liked the shoutout to Mr. Eko.
Two books/movies came to mind tonight watching parts of "There's No Place Like Home." What's funny: Neither was "The Wizard of Oz." The Ben and Locke scenes reminded me of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." (Actually, I keep expecting greater Narnia connections, particularly because Charlotte's name is Charlotte Staples Lewis, and the writer of the Narnia stories is C.S. Lewis, or Clive Staples Lewis.)
And, finally, Penny. Oh, Penny. At least someone on this show gets a happy ending. Cheers, Desmond. The "See you in another life, brother" exchange with Jack and Des was a highlight (one of MANY) of tonight's episode.
Thoughts? Musings? I might have more tomorrow.
Might not.
Can't believe we have to wait till January for more "Lost."
Sheesh.

I agree with EW writer Jeff Jensen: "it was a powerful conclusion to a bold, winning season."
Loved the Desmond-Penny reunion and at first thought, well, I guess that ends that story arc, but then I remembered that Ben promised Widmore he would kill Penny, so we'll be seeing more of them, which is good. I like Des and thought that other than "The Constant," they didn't really give him much to do. At one time I sort of thought he was a key to the entire series, and maybe in the end he will be.
Still don't know what's up with Claire. Is she dead?
Ditto Michael. Did the ghost of Christian whisk him away before the freighter blew? Or did Christian's "You can go now" mean that Michael had redeemed himself and the island was done with him, so he died in the blast? His story arc is pretty much done.. but then there's Walt.
Love the Eko reference too but wonder if that means he's coming back, and wonder why he's visting Hurley? Charlie visited Hurley for a reason: to give him a message. Why is Eko there?
I was surprised we didn't see Matthew Abbaddon in the finale. I need to know more about that guy.
I wanted more Walt this season. We don't know enough about him and his role in this entire thing.
I'm getting kind of tired of Jack and his self-appointed savior complex. I guess that's the idea, though.
I almost want to watch the show from the very beginning and see how carefully -- brilliantly -- they have tied everything together. I know there are loose ends, but for the most part they have constructed an amazing tale.

I need to hit these links up and read more. And I need to re-watch the episode. Good wrap-up, KT. I felt like it was too much information fo one sitting, and this helps condense.
I don't think I can wait till January for new Lost. That stinks. Maybe I'll still call you at 11 p.m. on Thursdays just for kicks though.
