Eh, I'm halfway convinced that the whole Sideways timeline is wish-fulfillment illusion of some sort and Desmond knows it.
That's what Eloise Hawking seemed to suggest.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Even if it isn't real, I can't imagine hitting someone with my car! I cannot let that go.
Clearly Desmond needs to come to my house to help me "let go" too.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Ah yes. We'd been waiting for the "Sit down. I shall tell you all, in a very Jacob Ex Machina way" conversation.
Would getting rid of Smokey's skeleton make him kill-able?
I'm not in any way happy with what Desmond did to Locke, but I can't help wondering if he's missed the point. The universe isn't telling him to get fixed. It's telling him some much bigger things. (That, or my disability rights 'no cure' stuff is just kicking in particularly hard this week.)

I wondered whether Jack's repeated injuries, echoing what's going on in Island reality, suggest that nothing in the Sideways reality is real.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I agree.
Sadly, if Locke does let go, he leaves the "reality" where he's about to get married to go to one where he is dead. Who wants to do that?

Heh

Where is that neck injury coming from? Have we seen him get cut on the Island?

Oh, but I want them to get their happy endings! Even Jack, who seems on track with his kid and everything! And Sun and Jin are all alive and baby-ful, and Locke is happy and going to marry Helen, and Ben is apparently going to hook up with Rousseau and be stepdad to Alex (that's not a spoiler; just my speculation), and and and!
I continue to be impressed with Terry O'Quinn's and Michael Emerson's acting chops.

"Did you say there were more people to kill?"
OH BEN.

"Hi. Do you want some lemonade?"
I expected Smokey Locke to say yes, honestly.
t edit Just as I would watch an alternaverse Miles-and-Sawyer buddy cop spinoff, I would totally watch a Ben and Locke -- from EITHER universe -- spinoff.
