Season 5 Finale Part Two The Incident

Part two starts with "Locke" and the others looking toward the statue and Richard says that is where Jacob lives. Again, did Jacob ever live in the cabin? Was it just abandoned after Horace died and the evil guy was imprisoned there by the ash?

Now, we start to have the confrontation between Jack and Sawyer and Sawyer says, " Doc, we gotta talk".

Finally Jack has a flashback in the finale and we see the famous counting to overcome your fears but we are surprised to see that at the time it was a very negative experience for Jack. He considers it a "timeout" and is embarrassed. He takes his frustrations out on the poor candy machine and not only do we see that he was trying to get an Apollo bar but when it gets stuck it's Jacob who is there to give him his due. We also see Jacob touch Jack as he hands him the candy bar and it weirds Jack out so much he doesn't even say thank you.





Jack gives Sawyer five minutes to plead his case with I'm sure no intention to change his mind no matter what Sawyer says. Sawyer goes onto talk about his parents and how they came to die and we see again that Sawyer has no concept of Destiny. What is done is done. Jack says it doesn't have to be that way and that Locke said it was their destiny to be here. Sawyer doesn't believe in destiny and asks Jack what he wants and Jack says he had Kate and he lost her. Sawyer seems to think that if it's that simple than he should just go and tell her. Sawyer reminds Jack that if he does this Kate will be a stranger and she will be in handcuffs and Jack says if it is meant to be, it's meant to be. I don't think he was talking about Kate being in handcuffs. I think he is so far on the side of believing in destiny that he now believes that if him and Kate are meant to be together they will be together even if they become strangers and never land on the island. He believes that if it is meant to be that maybe their love can transcend time and space.

Then the punching begins and boy can these people take beatings! It only takes Juliet to say James name once to get him to stop.

Next we have a Juliet flashback and her parents are explaining to her and Racheal that even when people love each other that doesn't mean they are meant to be together. Juliet wants to know what IF you are supposed to be together. I think you can take this two ways, one, this tells Juliet that just because her and James love each other that doesn't mean they are supposed to be together but I also think you can take it as what IF they are supposed to be together. How will they know that?

Something else I noticed about Juliet's flashback is that her home looked pretty modern for how old I think of her to be. I don't know if that means anything.




Next we see Sawyer demanding from Juliet why she has changed her mind and she tells him the same thing her parents told her but also she just doesn't want to lose him and if he never comes to the island then she never has to lose him.

Juliet also tells him that she saw him look at Kate. I've watched the finale 3 times and I can't seem to catch the "look". I must be blind but in any event it shook Juliet up and this was the reason she told Sawyer she was changing her mind.

I didn't really like the scene with Jack and Kate right before he heads down for the shoot out. "Does it hurt?", silly. We do get to see Kate explain why she came back for Aaron but the thing that I took from this scene was that Jack believes in free will and destiny. He tells Kate that she doesn't know that Claire would give Aaron up for adoption but no matter what she did it would be her choice.

Here we have Hurley's flashback and we get to see how he knew about Ajira flight 316. Jacob told him. Jacob tells Hurley that maybe he is blessed and he's definitely not crazy. Jacob emphasizes that it is Hurley's choice. Jacob reminds me of God in the way that I believe God knows everything, he knows every choice we will make before we make it but it's still our choice, he just knows what choice we are going to make.

What do I think is in the guitar case? I think it could simply be Charlies guitar or maybe something that will come in handy in the final war, just a guess.

We are by the dharma van again and Sayid is dying and he says nothing can save him. I think it is obvious he is not talking about his physical life but his very soul.

I was so mad at Kate for not going after Jack and saying anything when he headed off to do his business.

It's nighttime at the foot statue. The thing that sticks out to me here is that Richard tells Locke and Ben that only the leader and one person can request an audience with Jacob. If you are familiar with the Old Testament it was the same. Only the high priest could go into the inner sanctuary and when Christ died the curtain was torn in two and it made it possible for everyone to go into the "inner sanctuary".

I think things will certainly change when Jacob is "gone".


We're by the dharma van again and Sawyer is finally convinced that there is nothing left of the three last years of his happy life, " no more LaFleur" he tells Miles. Miles then asks them if they have wondered if what Jack is about to do is actually the incident. I think that is very possible. Would doing nothing actually change things? We also hear Sawyer call Juliet Blondy, it's really all over.

Then we have another big shoot out and Juliet decides that if they don't live together they will die alone. How ironic that she ends up dying alone if in fact she does die. Sawyer yells at Jack to do his business and before he does the pocket is hit. Does this nullify the effects of the bomb?

I loved the deep emotions that were going on as they were all waiting for Jack to drop the bomb, especially Juliet's, like I said I think I her acting made this finale. Of course the bomb doesn't go off and they aren't in LAX and all hell brakes loose.

It sounded like I was watching a football game as Phil was hit with the rebar!


Then the chains are wrapped around Juliet and she is being dragged down the hole. Was this all from the pocket being hit? Or is this the beginning of the smoke monster dragging people away. The noise the chains were making sounded very familiar. Kate trys to hold on but Juliet slips and Sawyer was there to catch her. This was the scene that had me crying as I'm sure many other people. It was heart wrenching and I really thought Sawyer would be able to save her but she fell down the chasm.





Ilana and her group come upon the others and ask for "Ricardos", of course this is Richard and she asks him what lies in the shadow of the statue and Richard answers instantly in latin, "those who will protect/save us all" Ilana closes her eyes, this is what she was waiting for.

She proceeds to show Richard what is in the box. I was shocked to see it was Locke but I wasn't devestated like some. Locke has never been my favorite character and I had thought that "Locke" had been acting strange but I hadn't made the connection until I saw his dead body.

Who is with Jacob and Ben if it isn't Locke? It's the evil guy and he has found his loophole.

Next we have the showdown between Ben and Jacob and again Jacob tells Ben that it is his choice even though he knows what choice he will make.

I'm sure Jacob's comment about his tapestry means something profound. Is he talking about the the process of good overcoming evil and when you create the players it takes a very long time, but that the point?

Ben goes on his poor me tangent and of course ends up stabbing Ben but before "Locke"
kicks him into the fire he says "they're coming". Who's coming? I think the most obvious answer to that question is the losties that were stuck in 1977 flashing back t0 2007. I just think it's got to be more interesting than that and if that is what is going to happen I know they will make if fabulous to watch. My other theory is that the hydrogen bomb goes off and things are reset and we see the losties back on flight 815 but I think they will still crash because they are destined to be there. I don't know how it would work but I think somehow they will have some memory of the things that have happened to them. Just a theory.


The next scene we see Jack waking up from the tool box hitting him in the head. These guys should have been dead a long time ago. Jack heard Kate yelling at Sawyer to move away from the hole and let go of Juliet, he is beyond a mess.

Next we see down the hole and see Juliet wake up. I love her acting, she was the best in this episode. She knows what she has to do and she picks up a rock and hits the bomb 8 times and then everything goes white.

I think this is the beginning of good overcoming evil.
