I was afraid they'd go all "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" on us, but I guess they didn't (that was the old wreckage at the end, right?).
Still, there were a few notable absences among the guests there at the end (even including people who were in the episode).
The multi-denominational stained-glass window was a bit much.

Very Unitarian Universalist.
I'm not sure what I thought of the finale. I enjoyed it on an emotional level, but on a storytelling level, I wasn't particularly satisfied.
Hey, it was better than BSG's series finale, but I'm not sure we got adequate payoff for the sideways universe this season.
I feel like I didn't get my questions answered, but since I went in with low expectations, I am okay with it all.

Man, I want him to get a happy ending with Rousseau and Alex.
But then, I wanted Locke to get to marry Helen, and Jack to be happy with his son.
Oh! Who laughed at the Target commercials? They cracked me up! Especially the boar/BBQ sauce one.

I think he's still working out his salvation in fear and trembling, you know, before the Unitarian Jihad comes back for more.
