yeah, look, i'm okay with him being dead (because we are at the end of the show) but that did seem to happen too quickly. it needed a moment of, "huh." you know, right after. just so we could all go, "huh."

also, now taking bets: will flocke succeed destroy the island?

reasons for: the producers have always said incredibly clearly that this will be THE END of lost. no question mark, no maybes, no dot dot dot. they've also said that the show isn't primarily about jacob and the MIB; it's about the island. the island is it. we've also seen the island move, so we can gather that destroying it is possible. also, we've had successively more dramatic explosions each season finale culminating in jughead at the end of s5, and the only way they could top that would be destroying the entire island.

reasons against: come on. jack was JUST made the new guardian. that would be one hell of a quick failure.
