Official Lost Season 5 Thread (Warning: Possible Spoilers)

Damn, I killed another thread...

So, Farraday is/was Penny's brother. Interesting.

Is Walt completely irrelevant now? I was wondering about that too

I feel like he is. I guess the kid who plays him just grew up too quickly.

Remember when Locke visited him and he said that he wasn't going to try to bring him back to the island because he's been through enough already. I think that was the writers way of sweeping him under the rug. What sucks is that we'll never know what the Others did with him when they kidnapped him back in season 2.

I had planned to watch the season finale tonight on the computer, but since the Caps completely crapped the bed I got to enjoy Lost instead. So, any thoughts on last night?

The guy that writes the Lost articles for EW.com has been saying all season that he feels like this one is mirroring season 2 and I think the ending to last night really sealed that idea for me. Juliet detonating the bomb was just like Desmond turning the failsafe key. So, if this theory hold up, maybe the final season will mirror the first. I have no idea what that will mean for the show, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

I want to see how Locke's character plays out. I mean, is the current Locke on the island even really John Locke? Richard Alpert seems thrown by him and even said he seems different. And then we find out his corpse is still there. Strange. Also, he manipulated Ben into killing Jacob, so clearly Locke wants to be king of the castle.

What's in the guitar case that Jacob gave to Hurley?

It's not Locke - it's the guy from the beginning who was sitting on the beach with Jacob. That whole storyline was so forced, it really diminished the episode, IMO. I know the producers say differently, but it really feels like they are making this up as they go.
