We Have to Go BACK! S4 Finale
Where to begin… I’ll start off by stating that the season 4 finale contained everything that the plot directed throughout the season. The Oceanic Six leave the island. The bomb goes off in the ship. Locke and Ben move the island. We find out who’s in the coffin. Kate bitch slaps Jack (who didn’t see THAT coming?).
If Jin survived it would be a cop-out, but I hope that he’ll come back many times as a vision/ghost thingie. If he did survive, after three years, he should be speaking some savvy english by now. Unlike Michael, who according to interviews, is quite pissed that he blew up – and probably won’t be returning.
Surprises
Walt visiting Hurley, Hurley playing chess with Mr. Eko, Ben and the frozen donkey wheel (and how did that move the island??). The rescue by Penny – I dug that. Claire appearing was part of Kate’s dream, so I’m not putting anything into that, other than this: She’s a bad mother for abandoning Aaron, so she better have a good reason for hanging out with ghost daddy.
Also, Ben tells Jack that everybody has to go – does that mean Walt has to go back? It’s been established that Walt is “Special”. Now that Walt has done his explained “growth spurt”, he can now return to be a cast regular.
I’ll have to watch it a few more times, but I’m sad that it’ll be quite a few months before next season. I’m thinking about getting the video game soon, just so I can putz around on the island.
Predictions
- What if Locke is faking death? It’s been asserted that the island won’t let anyone die unless it allows it. Medusa spider anyone?
- If Locke is truly dead, then there must be some sort of transformation thing for the dead bodies that makes them into the smoke monsters or guardians spirits for the island – like Christian Shephard and Yemi (both the bodies went missing).
- Who else thinks that Sawyer and Juliet are going to hook up? Wouldn’t that just piss Jack off?
Questions
- How does pushing a wheel suck an island into a wormhole?
- Who are the others, not the people that have been “recruited” – but the actual natives? Like Richard?
- Faraday was on the small boat when the island went *poof*. Obviously he was sucked in with it – but will he return to the island on the right bearing?
The fake commercial near the end of the show pointed to this website (www.octagonglobalrecruiting.com). Here’s a screenshot of it –
It looks like something for a thing in San Diego during the Comic Con. I put in my email even though I won’t be there in late July.
Well, that’s it for now – but I’m going to really watch this season over again (gots nothing better to do) and I’m sure I’ll come up with new stuff. Peace out.
