LOST 5/18 — What They Died For

The Antagonist and the Protagonist


So, we did actually get a few answers tonight, but the roster of characters is getting pretty slim.  Widmore and his sidekick, Zoe, were eliminated by the new bosom buddies, UnLocke and Ben.  Richard was "smoked" (fate unknown) and Miles chose to make a run for it.

Jacob appears one last time to the Candidates, Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sawyer to explain why they have been brought to the Island:  "I brought you here because I made a mistake."  "I chose you because you were like me—you were all alone."  He goes on to explain that they were plucked from less-than-happy lives anyway, so what difference did it make (quit your whining).

Desmond was brought to the Island by Widmore as the "fail safe" because he can withstand the electromatic forces of the Island and that will undoubtedly come in handy at some point.  He has apparently been rescued from the well, but we don't know where he is. 

Jack chooses to take on the responsibility of Keeper of the Island, drinks the magic water, and becomes like Jacob (whatever that is), and the other Candidates are just glad they didn't have to be the Chosen One.

Interesting.  Good thing they extended the finale by half an hour, because they're going to need it.  I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this.......

I hope most of us will be happy with the ending. I was planning on writing more, but I'm getting tired, so I'll give you a rain check :) I just want you to know that I'm happy you are giving great reviews on the show though :)
