About Across the Sea? Well, I for one LOVE it that this show so often breaks the "rules" of tv - can you imagine any other tv show, in it's very few final episodes after many years in the air, telling a story involving a major character we've never met before and featuring NONE of the ~original characters* except for a very short clip of old material? Not only did they do that, but (imho) they pulled it off very well.
(* The ones which normally are considered the ones the audience is only interested in and rooting for.)
It's been very interesting to read blogs and and other writings where people are commenting on this season, seeing meaning in everything and demanding answers even when they are right there in front of their eyes. One of my favourites was a comment (I think on the music box left for Claire) that "it can't be a red herring, it's too late for that" - well my friends, this is LOST. Regular protocol does not apply.
I'm mentally preparing for the finale (did you hear? 2,5 hours!) to be a total mindf***. Actually, I will be disappointed if it won't completely confuse me and leave me screaming madly. I don't expect us to get all the answers, or even one "side" to "win". LOST has always been about asking questions and balancing between the two sides (or the black and the white if you want). Has anyone here watched the original The Prisoner from the 60's? I don't want to spoil it, but if you know how that series ended... well, let's just say it's good to keep in mind that the creative minds behind LOST have mentioned that show many times as their inspiration (and paid homage to it in the LOST universe in several subtle ways).
Anyway I just really hope we'll see Juliet again before this whole thing is over. We've already got "back" my two other favourite dead losties, Charlie and Libby. I'll be very happy indeed if she shows up as well. Actually I'm predicting her to be sideways-Jack's ex-wife.
