Charlie killed himself. That was more or less what happened. He could have made it out. He could have gotten out of the room. He could have grabbed Desmond's arm and rushed to the surface. They could have both made it out alive.

Or...Desmond's lie to Charlie killed Charlie. Because we all know Desmond was lying at the point, you could see it in his eyes. Charlie so desperatly wanted them saved.

But he could have been saved too.

That was simply bad writing. If your going to take Charlie from me, you do it where he had no way of avoiding it.

Because Charlie giving up like that was almost disrespectful to the wonderful character that they created.

I'm not overly angry about it. I've accepted that he was going to die, even though I had some foolish hopes. I just wish he could have gotten something dignified. And I realise they tried. He saved Desmond and got the truth to him (Not Penny's Boat). But that? That was cheap.

And Charlie's death is really one of my only complaints about the whole episode.

I laughed that Jack is still an emo bastard in the future. And I liked how he more or less turned into his father, which was something he was trying to avoid.

Ofcourse now the big question is...was the future scenes with hillbilly Jack how the rest of the show is going to be? Because it could be viewed that the Island scenes were the flashbacks and that was the present story.

I don't like the idea of "It was a flash forward." Because that takes the mystery out of it. Because that means we know Jack and Kate are alive and they were rescued, presuming that the others were as well.

Who do you think was in the casket? I thought about it for a long time. I've thought of about...three people that it could be. Locke, Ben or Sawyer. I don't want to think it was Sawyer though. I like to think that the "He" Kate mentioned was Sawyer.

Because I don't like Kate and I think she's going to end up staying with Sawyer if they get off the island in this possible future. Why? Because he understands her to some degree that Jack will never understand. And because Sawyer wouldnt be able to turn her away. People aren't always strong. Kate would probably latch to Sawyer once they are ripped from home (Island) for some sense of familiarity.

Or maybe it was something Jack thought of momentarily when he was on the phone and it's not the truth. Maybe that won't happen at all in the grand scheme of things.

Like Boone and his 'seeing his sister die' thing. Accept...not hallucination.

I don't know. I want more. I hate Summer break. I want more Lost.

And you know the best part of the entire episode? Hurley and the van. He wins. Don't tell Hurley he can't do something because of his size.

And who else thinks the vision of Walt was simply amusing? They gave up trying to make him look ten didn't they?

Also I've decided. Danielle is the coolest girl on the island anymore. She rules. "Want to help me tie him up?" AWESOME.

Sayid snapping the guy's neck with his legs? Sexy as hell.

Um...Oh. Aaron. Him crying the moment Charlie died? Broke my heart.

But I didn't cry at all during that episode. I sat up in fear when they 'shot' Sayid, Jin and Bernard, but I didn't cry. Then I logiced it and realized they weren't dead.

Oh and Juliet's convo with Sawyer was priceless.
"So are you banging Jack yet?"
"No, are you?"
Loved it.

I wonder if they are going to have the flashforwards/island flashbacks from now on. I want to know.

And why in the world won't Mikhail die? Maybe they should just shoot him...since gunshots seem to work on everyone but Locke.

I could ramble on for hours about this I think. I was pacing after it was over.

Yay Lost for opening a whole new can of confusion.



Dominic Monaghan better be coming out with four or five new movies next year. Since I wont be getting a fix every Wendsday anymore.

Oh and there is no way I'm spending nearly $500 for a course on poetry. Forget that idea.
