i was met with a bunch of "i told you so"s and "i knew it"s this afternoon, as some people saw one of their predictions come true. which is very annoying, because really no one knew anything, they were just making random, speculative guesses based on nothing.
but... i guess that's one of the joys of the show. i get sucked into it myself. towards the end of the finale, i was feeling somewhat justified in my guess that locke was dead, particularly after they kept highlighting ben saying he had to be. ...only to then realize that was one correct guess out of one-thousand incorrect guesses, ...and then that even the "correctness" of the guess is pretty off, since i had no idea how the "death" was going to come about.
really, the show continues to prove itself as almost entirely unpredictable. as soon as you think you figure them out living on the island, there's a monster. as soon as you think you know what the monster is, there's a hatch. then the others live on a nearby island. then the flash backs become flash forwards. then they travel through time. now, there's a jesusy white shirt guy and a ...richard hatchy black shirt devil guy fighting some sorta weird ages-long chess match.
aweshome.
