Whoah, that was one of the most disturbing season finales I've ever seen, probably being beat out in disturbingness only by Twin Peaks 2nd season finale/series finale when an evil Bob-possessed Special Agent Dale Cooper is set loose on the world!
So many people think LOST's flashbacks are confusing to follow, but I've never had a problem with that. But last night's flashforwards were so unnerving. You think the "flashback" series of Jack's feral, oxycotin-addicted bearded and depressed self is a flashback up until the last moment when he sees Kate and is talking about the Airline's compensation with the Golden Pass and how he flies around on planes all the time, hoping it will crash again because he wants to go back.
Is this one of those 'alternate' realities, like what Desmond keeps seeing? Will they be rescued back into a hell world? I had the impression Kate is with Sawyer in this world, and that Jack's father is alive from the way he was referring to him in the present.
Now here's the puzzler...who was in the coffin? I say it was Ben. He's the only one I can think of that would be neither friend nor family of Jack's...I would think other crash survivors would be thought of as friends, if one of them were to die once "back in civilization."
I knew Locke wasn't dead. But will Charlie really become a dead rockstar? Can't he swim out the porthole? I usually don't scream at TV, but when I saw Eyepatch Man (Mikhail) looking in the porthole, now that's a terrifying sight.
I loved the Hurley part when he crashes into that Others camp with the Dharma van...that was good comic relief.
I don't think I can wait until fall. I couldn't sleep much last night after watching that!

No!!!! I just read it won't be back until January 2008!!!! Aaaaack!!! This is painful!
I found some other articles online that posit the theory of Ben being in the coffin.
But I'm surprised how many people were surprised when Locke wasn't dead. You never see him actually dead, you just see him wounded and what appears to be "dying". But as viewers know, looking like you're dying does not necessarily mean you WILL be dead until you are DEAD.
This is why I am hoping that Charlie will get out of the Looking Glass Dharma Station somehow. We see him DROWNING, but we do not see him DEAD.
Hey, Stan, when you read this, do you think you could explain your theory of the Monster taking pictures of people's minds? That is something I never thought about before.
Oh, and how cool was it that they played Nirvana's 'Scentless Apprentice?'
Uh oh. I've been reading that Charlie really is bonafide dead. Sad.

Ben is in the coffin - has to be in the flash forward. I love the feral Jack, and apparently his father is still alive and returns to the world of hospitals with son. This time it is Jack who falls apart as the father was in the beginning of the series.
As Jack follows in his fathers foot steps in the flash forwards I thought the character development was deep. Here is a very confident man who is discovering his own frailty just as his father has been frail - and the son was willing to drive his father out on the street - not understanding that he would someday find the same self destructive path. Karma
It was good that Hurley was able to come up with his own rescue plan. Even thought he was told he would be in the way he actually saved the day.
I bet once Ben was shot and left for dead in the very same way that he shot and left Locke in the pit. Ben survived just as Locke survived because the Island chose them to use as agents to protect itself.
The monster on the island was put there by people who are enemies of the others. This monster takes photos of peoples memories and finds someone close to them to model itself after. Then later it appears to people in the image of their loved one to mess with their heads and manipulate or kill them.
For instance the monster looked at Juliet and took images of her memories. It will later appear to her in the image of her sister and maybe kill Juliet just as it did Echo.
