Not much to say about the finale really since it is a reset.
It wouldn't be J.J. Abrahms without at least one honking big reset. I just hope this goes better than the last few on Alias.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
But see...Jack's life was a fucking mess before he ever set foot on the plane. None of them did were doing very well before getting on the plane. Sawyer definitely improved his life after the plane landed - especially the 3-4 years he was in the '70s. Sun has a child she probably wouldn't have had.
I don't see how Jack's life post-crash is that much more miserable than pre-crash. It's all part of Jack's craziness. I still like Jack's character for some odd reason, but he gets stuck and focused on a particular course and won't be dissuaded from it no matter what.
BTW, I have a strong feeling that Jacob visited Walt way back when. I wonder if we will see Walter one last time.

Yeah, le nubian, I also like Jack's character, which makes us a minority in fandom, but dear God, did I want to rip his fucking face off during the finale. So freaking stubborn and pigheaded.

Was it? His wife left him and his family life was far from great, but his career was in good shape and he didn't have that awful beard.
Sawyer, I will grant you, was better off on the island in the 60s than any other time.
I still want to know where Sun's baby is. Who on earth could she have left her with?

With her (Sun's) mother.

Sun's relationship with her father so overshadowed her mother, I forgot she existed.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Saw the finale at the weekend. Kept me quite engaged for the whole double episode, which is always a good thing. I was so ready for Miles's 'we caused it' theory to be right, but with Juliet setting off the bomb, I'm not sure anymore. A complete reset would be dull (The Girl and I have been predicting one all season), but Abrams could make it work. If the plane doesn't crash and they *still* all end up back on the island, I'll be delighted.

That could be satisfying, depending on how its done. It would also be a nice parallel to how Desmond could only postpone Charlie's death, not prevent it.

Indeed. They've really being pushing the 'you can't change anything' line. It would be interesting to see them take that further.

Our wings are not tired.
It would be cool to have the various dead people come back and die again. Danielle and Alex, Charlie, etc.
