Top 10 Moments of the Lost Season Finale
-
Lost nay sayers and fair
weather friends can do a whole lot of shutting up today. Last nights
season finale was one of the most exciting two hours of television
ever. In an episode so full of amazing moments, is it possible to pick
ten favorites? No, probably not. But we’re gonna do it to fill blog
space.
10. Jack Was Having a Flash Forward Not A Flashback –
This makes the bottom of the list because it was so damn obvious. But
it still makes the list because it was pretty damn awesome -- and
raises all sorts of questions about next season. Who’s funeral was no
one attending? (prediction: Ben’s) Will flash forwards phase out
flash back’s? Who is Kate living with now and how did she beat her
murder rap? Will the next season be about finding the island again?
God, someone sedate me till 2008.
(By the way, interesting side
note. Jack's newspaper clipping mentions the Gran Avenue Project. A
Los Angels building tha won't be finsihed till about 2010 so this may
take place even further in the future then we think.)

9/8. People Suddenly Getting Stabbed – Desmond Harpoons Mikhail!
Locke throws a knife in Naomi’s back! Nothing makes for better
television than people suddenly hurling pointy objects into other
people.
7. Ben Is Going To Talk The Survivors Out Of It – You
may hate the guy but it’s hard to deny that Ben regularly cements
himself as one of the biggest bad asses on television outside of HBO.
His stone cold assertion that he could get the survivors to stay just
with his powers of persuasion reminded us that the little guy is still
a force to be reckoned with.
6. Sayid Broke A Dude's Neck With His Legs - Does that really need any more of an explanation?
5.
Walt is Back – It may have been a hallucination and he may have aged
way to much but it was nice to see him again (our first time since last
years season finale.)
4.
Charlie Drowns – Alright, it was a pretty needless death… some may even
say stupid. (Charlie was holding on to some pretty important
information before he went under. Three words scribbled across his
hand may not be enough to get the whole idea across to Desmond). Still
the act of self sacrifice was a nice wrap to the Liverpool Rockers
arc. And Mikhail grinning with that grenade was one of the
coolest/creepiest images of the night.
3.
No Lame Teasers - The last two seasons of Lost ended with teasers for
the upcoming seasons that showed us nothing/told us nothing and alluded
to things that never actually happened. We appreicate them sparing us
another one. The shows final moments got us plenty excited for whats
to come without the help of ABC's marketing department. "WE HAVE TO GO
BACK!"
2. Bernard Hits! Jin Misses! – Sure, Bernard eventually
broke down and spilled the beans to Mr. Friendly but the old man never
said he could stand up to intense interrogation. He signed up as a
marksman and he did his job, setting off the dynamite. A job Asian
Mafia Assassin Jin couldn’t. I’m pretty sure getting schooled by a
dentist will get you tossed out of the Yakuza.
1.
Hurley and the Hero Bus – The best moment of the whole two hours didn’t
belong to Jack, or Locke, or Ben or even the big scary smoke monster.
No it was Hurly who won the biggest cheers when he barreled his beloved
VW Van straight into enemy territory. It’s not rare that Hurley is
often our favorite part of Lost but this time he was more than just a
lovable side kick or sponge to soak up the bad feelings of the other
survivors. He finally gets a hero moment as big as any of his less
plump co-stars. And the follow up moment where he tries t intimidate
the other Others via walkie talkie was a priceless bit of comedy.
