Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Now we love to give you false hope (false hope)
And so at the end of days,
The Sun and Jin reunion
Will end in a watery grave.

Woahh...

All is well that ends in pizza.

Pure speculation here...

I have this idea for the finale that has the alt-universe passengers of flight 815 gather as a group, and everything finally clicks into place.

Everyone, from Scott and Steve to the final few, together in southern California. After a bit of "Did this really happen?" things go silent.

Then Hurley, with Libby by his side, says, "Anyone want some chicken?" They all look at him.

The final scene is the entire cast of survivors and assorted loved ones in a big picnic by the beach, catered by Mr Clucks.

The only question is if someone from the cast will be on the island, or if The Man in Black and Jacob will be back again, waiting for the next game...

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

And I was shocked at how cavalierly Frank got offed by the door. That felt almost Jossian to me.

I wasn't sure he was dead. I kept waiting to see whether he'd make it out and wondered if I'd missed it.

Me, too! I kept asking The Boy, "Did Lapidus make it? Or did the door kill him?"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Lapidus was never anything more than a plot device, really, so it makes sense to me that the show hardly noticed he died too.

We DID see alterna!Jin briefly, bringing flowers into a hospital room, so presumably they're doing well there.

I know we still have alterna!Sayid, but I wouldn't be surprised, since he's already returned from the dead once, this death doesn't entirely take either.

I liked his exit- pure Lapidus. "Aw, hell!"

I posted "DAMN YOU LOST!" as my Facebook status, and then one friend replied with something like "They won't stay dead, not on this show," and another friend replied with "No spoilers, please! I still have it on my DVR!"

And for a split second, I almost replied with "Hey, NAFDA rules -- it's already aired on the East coast!"

And then I remembered that the friends who replied aren't Buffistas and would have just given me the FB equivalent of a blank stare.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did they kill off all the non-white adult characters in the primary verse?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

well, Miles is still alive, but of the original flight 815 - only Rose is still out there somewhere.
