I&#8217;m looking forward to the conclusion of it all and have the big mystery explained.<\/p>\n<p>The premiere episode was really good. I re-watched the Season 5 finale and Juliet dying is a sad scene (the whole scene). In the recap and the flashbacks to &#8220;the incident&#8221; they did edit it down some so it wasn&#8217;t as dramatic. She ends up surviving only to be killed again.<\/p>\n<p>We got confirmation that not-John Locke (or not-Locke) is the smoke monster. He wanted to kill and Jacob and he has done it. I guess the question I didn&#8217;t ask was why he wanted to kill him (besides hating him) and what he would do after that. What is their relationship? Is it fate vs. free will?<\/p>\n<p>Why did Jacob want\/require Sayid be saved? Is there significance to him being dead for a while and suddenly awakening?<\/p>\n<p>There are so many questions. At first I thought Jacob was reincarnated as Sayid. I changed my mind because when Sayid sat up, he asked &#8220;what happened?&#8221;. I would expect Jacob to know that.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest mystery now is what is going on with the alternate reality where Oceanic 815 doesn&#8217;t crash? Although that is not completely accurate because some things are different like Desmond was on the plane and Shannon stayed behind in Australia. Is this what would&#8217;ve happened if the bomb had gone off?<\/p>\n<p>Time travel is such a hard thing to write. It&#8217;s so easy to end up in a paradox. If they never crash on the island, then who goes back in time to set off the bomb to stop the plane from crashing? Is this alternate universes like Fringe?<\/p>\n<p>Who was Juliet talking to when she was dying in Sawyer&#8217;s arms? Was she somehow in two places at once? Are they in some type of place (heaven? hell?) where the only way out is &#8220;death&#8221;? Could her message, &#8220;It worked&#8221;, refer to anything else other than the hydrogen bomb detonation?<\/p>\n<p>I think some type of dream is too easy. Lost fans would be furious if everyone on the plane had lost consciousness and it was all a dream. We&#8217;ve seen time travel. Faraday had some weird experiment where the missile took a lot longer to arrive that it should. Finding the island is nearly impossible. To leave the island you have to follow a specific path. The island has vanished\/moved.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t even come up with a logical theory right now. So many mysteries to try and explain. I hope that come May I&#8217;m not disappointed. The build-up has been big. Please don&#8217;t go out like the Sopranos. I don&#8217;t want to think I wasted my time watching the last 3 seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The show that has topped my TiVo Season Pass\/DirecTV Season Manager is back for the final season.
