psocopteraMan. On the plus side all of these episodes feel nicely momentous, like, Things Are Happening And The Story Is Advancing. On the minus side, "candidate"? That's really more of a question than an answer, wouldn't you say? Can *anything* be said to have been answered here?
More plus: Sun is finally heading towards Jin! More minus: but she's detouring and stopping to bury Locke? I loved the opportunity for Ben's eulogy, but this didn't ring true to me - Sun is a ruthless lady, I'd expect her to step over Locke if it got her on the way to Jin. Also, given that Ilana obviously knows waaaay more about what's going on than anyone else does, I'd like to see Sun asking her some pointed questions about, you know, WTF is going on.
So full of squee for the alternate timeline. Locke happily engaged and on the path to a more fulfilling career? Hurley's confidence and comfort with power? (And yet he still seems to be a nice guy.) Even Rose seems to be at peace with her cancer. Am now rethinking my theory that we're supposed to think the crash was good for the main cast. Am now predicting episodes in which we see Sayid happy with Nadia, Charlie writes his best album in prison, and Jack is less of a tool. Ok, maybe not those last two.
Sawyer: I don't care how much you're grieving over Juliet, do not release spooky imprisoned thing if you have no idea why it was imprisoned in the first place. Seriously, Sawyer, you, canonically, *read books*, how have you not picked this up?
Unanswered:
- who are Adam and Eve (the bodies in the cave)?
- what happened to Rose and Bernard and Vincent after the bomb went off?
- why did the psychic tell Claire she had to be on that plane? is there something special about Aaron? does who ends up raising him have any bearing on any of the big conflicts?
- Walt?
- haha. no, seriously, Walt? do his powers have anything to do with Jacob/Smokelocke? where is he in the new timeline? what made the Others interested in him, and did Ben really let him go because he was too powerful for him to control?
- Libby?
- why doesn't Richard Alpert age? who/what is he?
- why did flight attendant Cindy happily join the Others?
- will Sun and Jin ever make it back home to their little girl?
- why didn't Sun go back to 1977 with the rest of the Oceanic 6
Answer at least strongly implied:
- what happened to Claire, anyways, after she vanished on the island? (She's been living much as Rousseau did.)
