DESMOND AND PENNY!!! There might have been clapping. :D Finally ONE show that doesn't end a couple in horrible pain and/or death. (I know, Ben's out to kill her. Shut up and let me have this!) I might have even gotten the *tiniest* bit sniffly when Desmond's talking about seeing Jack in another life. I've decided that Desmond and Penny are by FAR my favorite characters on this show, and sadly I doubt we'll see them much.
So anyway, the episode. The coolest thing to me was seeing an extension of a scene we saw a year ago. We saw Jack yelling as Kate drives off before, but here she stops, backs up and gets out to continue the conversation. I don't know why, but I found that incredibly cool.
We finally see exactly how the 6 got off the island. More accidental than anything else. And we finally find out who was in the coffin we saw Jack visiting so long ago - Locke. I swear people were predicting this back then (probably![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elismor) and so it really didn't seem super shocking to me.
I've got a theory about the Others. The Island seems to be...living, for lack of a better word. The Others pre-date Dharma and in fact, don't seem to age. So I'm thinking that these Others are actually entities created by the Island - mortal living beings who are as human as the Island can get them, but can also do the disappearing/reappearing thing. They're part of the Island's defenses (Ben said it had many.) The problem is that the Others are a bit sheep-like (or maybe some other reason) and need an actual human leader. This is where Ben came in. And I'm picturing a whole chain of human leaders for this band. Ben was just the latest, and now it's been passed to Locke who the Others will "follow without question" because he's The Leader.
At first maybe the Island was okay with Dharma, but they got too invasive, and defenses kicked into action.
I've no idea why the Island wants the 6 back, but I'm wondering if it really just wants Aaron. Maybe Aaron's supposed to be the new Ben down the road.
I briefly had a squirrely theory about The Leader being born on the Island (Locke just being a temporary place-holder), since the red-head (I can't remember her name - she's too new) was talking about trying to find where she was born. And there being so many problems with pregnancies on the Island - maybe the Island only lets one a generation survive? But then I remembered that Ben wasn't actually born on the Island even though he said he was. He just arrived as a child.
So next season we'll be seeing how "everything went bad" on the island after the 6 left, as well as Jack and Ben trying to get the 6 to go back. I *think* next season is the last? All I have to say is they'd better finally explain what the giraffeabear is. HMPH. (Oh, and do not harm a single hair on Desmond and Penny's heads. Thank you.)
OH!! New cracky theory!! The Island is actually some sort of remote un"manned" alien observation station, here to check out Earth! Like watching gorillas in the wild! But things have gone a bit sideways with the artificial brain... That's it! :D

Oh man. I was kinda hoping things would get wrapped up next season.
But omg I was SO HAPPY at Desmond and Penny. SO. FUCKING. HAPPY.
WOOO HOOOOO!!
Really, I could totally watch the Desmond and Penny show from now on. Forget the Island. :D

Although I forsee some dramatic tension in the future in which Sayid (aka Ben's hitman) is involved in trying to kill Penny. :( I hope I'm wrong. But I think that next year we might see some factions. Sun and Widmore vs Ben and Jack. Gah! Idk. I don't think that Penny particularly likes her dad. So... maybe she won't be working with him? And we KNOW that Desmond doesn't like her dad and that Desmond knows that he was trying to kill everyone on the island. Hmmm...

ACK!! Sayid can't killy Penny!
But I think that next year we might see some factions. Sun and Widmore vs Ben and Jack.
I think you're right. So I have no idea how Ben's going to manage to get Sun to go back to the island. Unless this is all a setup and Sun's actually already working with Ben.
And we KNOW that Desmond doesn't like her dad and that Desmond knows that he was trying to kill everyone on the island. Hmmm...
It's going to be interesting, that's for sure. It's like watching a giant chess game.

AGREED AGREED AGREED. \o/ I absolutely adore Desmond and Penny. That was my favorite scene by far. ♥ I will be forced to find and kill the Lost writers if they kill either Desmond or Penny. D:

BWAH! XD Just add a dash of Doctor/Rose and this will officially be the Best Theory in the History of Ever.

It was probably the happiest scene we've gotten on Lost. Now they just need to leave them alone! *wags finger*

MWAH. The Doctor would get all shouty and Rose would sprint out to hug everyone on the island...
