Always nice talking to you [didn’t hear name]. What was the name? ---

Well, there goes the “Jacob isn’t real” theory. ---

The actress playing young Kate looked just like her when she glared at the store owner. It was spooky. ---

If there’s a nuclear device involved, I predict the ending of tonight’s finale will show us a huge struggle between the good guys and the bad, and the thing will be just about to be set off - or just activated (attached countdown clock with big numbers, 10…9…8…optional) - or we will get a shot of the island with a huge mushroom cloud rising above it. We’ll have to hang from a cliff for eight long months, I hope my fingers can hold on that long. ---

Ooh I had to come late from work, but already I’ve heard 3 real, direct questions, with real (for Lost) answers. Wow. I wonder if Miles’ father loses his arm in a drilling accident. I hope one of you kind souls can fill me in on what I missed in the first 15 minutes. ---

I just wanted to point out that Jacob is way hotter than I ever expected. 🙂 ---

Jacob and his enemy were dressed in white and black, respectively. Remember those black and white stones from way back in season 1? Rose, Bernard, and Vincent!!! HAHAHA!!! Anyway, does anyone know the name of the actor playing Jacob? He’s not in IMDB, and he looks familiar. ---

Poor Sawyer. Can’t manage a hard flinty stare and winds up with a romance novel cover face. All that scene needed was Juliet and Kate draped over shirtless Sawyer with their bodices ripped. ---

I like the take-charge Locke, especially since he’s got Ben in the same situation that Ben’s had him for so long. ---
