3 words-What a cliff hanger...ok that's 4 but 'a' isnt a word

[The_abbott]

Nice back story to confirm what we alreday know so bit of a filler episode really but I did like seeing Libby with the blankets LOL!!

That means only Eko is the only character not been seen since their deaths.

A strange way to end what could have been the season. With Karl and his "Han Solo" lines "I have a bad feeling about this!!" and then you know something bad was going to happen!

ANd then Danielle's "!I love you Alexandra" and bang shot. Saw that coming when she said that!!!

I bet its Keemy as he left the boat to do a job and we know hes handy with a gun. I can't imagine Frank is in on the job though.

[monster-eats-pilot]

Interesting fact about Micheal not being able to commit suicide 'the island won't let you'

[TheDharmaShark]

I cant imagine Frank is in on it, I'd assume him Charlotte and Dan are the "innocents" Ben was on about. Miles probably knows about it, but thats cause hes freaky, yet cool.

I've heard a lot of people b**ching and saying Michael's flashback sucked, but I thought it was immense. I always had a feeling Michael would tell Walt what he did, and I was always wondering how Walt would react if he did, and I think it was the right choice. And the whole thing about the island not letting Michael die? Brilliant
And i was rather shocked at our old friend Tom pop up. And a tad surprised at his company Kinda didn't see that coming
And Sayid!! WTF are you doing?! God that man is just mad as a ships cat sometimes.
The shooting at the end, that was so the Others. Ben hates Karl and probably Danielle too. He wants Alex back maaan, that wasn't the freighties

Immense episode, I just don't want to have to wait 4 weeks!!!

ok ep. Not great, a bit disappointed that was the last ep before spring break.Wasn't much of an eyeopener or a cliffhanger?! Its a shame Rous (french woman)has been shot, although i really dont think she dead - there is too many questions still to be answered about her, her boat,her job, her daughter and why ben is alex' dad - I know that opinion is that because ben kidnapped alex, he has become her adopted father- but i really feel it is much more complex than that, Rous has not denyed that ben is not the biological father of alex (that i can remember) and you would think if someone had kidnapped your kid and was then claiming parental statis then you would put the record straight.

Yeah Toms choice of company was rather unexpected

It seemed a bit pointless actually, as his whole demeanour seemed to change when he was talking to "Arturo".

Yeah that was a turn up for the books! Looks like he didnt put any of the women at risk on the island!

[Bass-mastaa]

So are we assuming shes dead ?

Yeah i also think Micheal's Flahback was brilliant , just seeing how his character has dealt with killing and getting off the island , also the Suicide angle was awesome. poor Michael though

so is Tom gay ?!

oh and Minkowski - what a great guy

[monster-eats-pilot]

Yeah Tom's gay
Would say I didnt see that coming but I accidently read a spoiler so I did see it coming
