Wow the finales to my favourite TV series are just getting better as the week goes on. Heroes was great but I felt a little let down by the rather lame confrontation of Sylar. Veronica Mars was really bloody fantastic but was tempered by knowing that we’d not be getting another season.

Lost takes the prize though. This was an unbelievable double length episode to finish the third season of the show.

I don’t know how but I had an inkling that the flashback was really a flashforward right from the very start with Jack on the plane. Either that or the presence of the beard is an indicator that we are in the Star Trek mirror universe which I guess would fit as the finale was titled “Through the Looking Glass”. Which leads us to Charlie and the events in the Looking Glass station.

The bits in the Looking Glass were excellent. Charlie get beaten by Bonnie and then freaking out both of the women when he explains what he’s doing there and how he’s gonna die and then when that unkillable bastard that is Mikhail turns up he sows dissent between them. I had a feeling that he wasn’t really dead when Desmond shot him with the speargun after Mikhail’s shooting of Bonnie and Greta. Then Charlie died a strangely noble death killed by the bastard Mikhail who I hope has survived the explosion to make it back to the mainland just so Sayid or Sawyer can torture him to death.

What were Bonnie and Greta really doing there? As it was pointed out the station pretty much ran itself without their input!

How and why was Penelope transmitting to the island? Who was she trying to reach? Has her Brazilian team from the second season finale pinpointed the location of the Island?

Just WOW! Best episode ever! The last few episodes of the season better be this good.

We’re gonna be having some kinda of showdown between The Others and The Flight 815 survivors for sure when they come for Sun.

I hope we get the explanation for who or what Jacob is too. Also how the fuck does Richard not appear to have aged in 30 years?

I think Jacob in the very brief glimpse that we saw of him looked like Locke but with hair and a bit of a beard. Although given my theorising about what’s going on that is probably wrong and it’s not Locke at all.

I think that Ben became the leader of the Others because Richard recognised he had a special affinity with the island when he learnt that Ben was able to see his dead mother there and by that also have the ability to communicate with Jacob (who or what ever he might be).

I think Ben was able to summon his mother there in the same way that I believe Locke summoned his own father.

Ben fears that the Others may choose to replace him with Locke who seems to have a greater affinity with the island than Ben currently does. Richard undermined Ben’s plan to remove Locke from the group by giving Locke the means to kill his father through Sawyer.

Perhaps Richard is the real man behind the curtain.
