The Glade 4.0

I think Jack was right about the bomb. Sawyer's lack of faith cost the three lives. However, I think that Sun and Jin will live happily ever after in the sideways timeline. I haven't even a speculative clue as to Sayid's ultimate fate.

How smokey was created, how the frozen donkey wheel came to be, how Jacob and MiB came to the island, how rules are decided, how you become the island's "protector"

Agree with this. I had been thinking about all day and just got off the phone with LK to see if that's how she saw it. Had Sawyer left it alone, they would have been fine because it was the MiB that set them up the bomb. But once he started fooling around with it because he didn't trust Jack, then it was on him.

I wish they hadn't panned to the backpack when Locke and Jack were still on shore. I knew as soon as they did that he had switch the packs. Would have been nice to be a little more surprised I guess.

I cried manly tears for Charlie's heroic death, so I can relate to your sadness Nitefox.

And yes, Charlie dying was tough as well. I loved his "Greatest Hits List" episode

Marcellus Wallace's soul.

That was brutal when Locke just cut that chicks throat and I was disappointed that Widmore kind of went out without much fanfare. And Linus....just when I thought I could trust the guy, he does something else to make you think that this guy is just rotten to the core. No surprise that Jack took up the role as protector of the island. I told LK that Richard was going to get killed when he didn't go with Miles. Not sure if he is dead, but I wasn't surprised he was attacked.

Yeah, I was disappointed at the way Richard and Widmore both exited last night. Linus is back to being a douchebag evil guy....he'll prolly take over if something happens to Jacob's brother. Jacob seems a little creepier these days, so not really sure what's up with that....guess cause we got to see the real Jacob last time. No surprise at all that Jack is taking his place. When Jacob's brother (why have they not given him a name this whole time???) said what Widmore had said, and with Desmond in the alternate reality appearing to do Jacob's job, it makes me think yeah Flocke does succeed in blowing up the whole island but Desmond succeeds in going back in time (cuz he is good at that) and getting everyone back on the island again. Kind of like the end of The Devils Advocate, where if the desired outcome is not achieved, history repeats itself over and over and over for all eternity. That's how I think this is all gonna play out.
Oh, and a little random, but I absolutely love what Jacob said to Kate when she asked why her name was crossed out. My favorite line of last nights episode.
