I start em half the time cause that's how problems get solved. :) I'm on the fence as well in a way, and I know there's going to be things I wanted answered too. But ABC knows the fanbase, and how big it is. They know this is actually a HUGE deal in TV history. So I'm sure they spent the time and money on making sure that whatever happens, we'll be entertained. The arguments are what I’ve looked forward to.

It's only gonna be a bad ending if you let it be. I know that sounds like I'm being some sort of know-it-all. But I'm taking the finale as in "It is what it is." We're all going to enjoy it because we all love this show, and we love how it's made us think. Son of a bitch, I AM a know-it-all aren't I? I'm very sorry. LOL, a song would be terrible.

This is one major reason why I haven't really been digging the flash sideways. You list a prime example. If Jack is 35 when Jacob touches him. That means he's 35 when his life starts going down Jacob's path. If the FSW is life without Jacob WHICH IT APPEARS TO BE....I wonder why his FSW life was different at the age of 22 to where he had David. There's more to it obviously. That would be a huge hole in the writing. I hope we can get a good answer on this FSW. An answer that makes us all want to watch this season all over again.

Here's the thing though, Jacob doesn't touch Jack until he's an adult. He offers him an Apollo bar in the hospital after Jack loses his money and Jacob gets two bars. That's the only time we see him touch Jack and it appears that this is close to the time Jack and his Father have their falling out leading Christian to go to Australia. But in the FSW Jack has a teenage son by that point in his life. So obviously Jacob's touch wasn't the difference in whatever decision Jack made that led him to have (or not have) a child. Is this an inconsistency or a clue? I think the FSW was intended to show what the candidates lives would be like if Jacob hadn’t touched them and they never went to the island.

But on the other hand; the fact that Jack left the island was the reason his attitude has changed and thus a major part in his 'road to candidacy'...or whatever. I know it can sound a bit cheap passing everything off as 'he/she needed this or that', but it's the best I can make of it..

Notice how Mother was able to find it, but no one else could. Then Jacob could find it after he was "blessed" and became protector. Now Jack will run into without ever being able to see it before as well. I just wonder if the lighthouse worked that way as well somehow......irrelevant though. Anyway, Jack's going to be the star come Sunday. He'll have the abilities to do what Jacob has always had, but we'll be witnessing them finally. I plan on getting a few chills since I'm a nerd like that. Andre7 – Yep, Jack can now find the light just as every other “protector” has been able to do.

It was shot down by pretty much everyone though. lostfreak - Whoa! I'd be writing a solid theory on this if I were you. I hope you do. I'd like to see some elaboration! I know I'd read it at least. ilieabouttheshadowcauseimaliar - I know whatcha mean. I've come to accept the fact that I (and most of us) have gotten too tied up in the lore of it all, that we just aren't going to be satisfied if we want it all explained. That's why I stopped hoping for answers a while back and started hoping for a more entertaining plot. I still want it to make sense though.
