    Sayid got Nadia back...but not in the way he would have wanted. But she is still alive, he can still "see her again". Sayid made a deal with the devil....

    They are all getting what they wanted, but in that twisted "deal with the devil" way where you dont get exactly what you thoguht you were getting. Locke got his life back, for better and for worse. He has family and loved ones, but he can't walk. Jack gets to break the cycle of his fathers anger, but hes still very much alone. Kate...well, I don't really know on that one...she got to help keep Claire and Aaron together, but shes still a convict on the run.

    I also think it makes sense in terms of where the season is going, that eventually we will find out this Sideways Universe is actually what happens if MiB wins and everyone gets to leave. Think about it this way, Dogen told us a story about a bargain that jacob gave him (his son life in exchange for his "life" off the island) which is a damned hard bargain. He made a deal.

    Flocke is making a deal too, and driving a hard bargain. You can get everything you ever wanted...but it wont be perfect. Of coruse, as with any theory, could we wrong, but something about that rings true to me. It just seems to fit in with actually making the sideways universe mean something to us, instead of just being the distraction it has appeared to be so far.


Interesting.


its a pretty solid theory. also, the producers did say the ending would be "bittersweet", and smocke winning would seemingly make it so.

can't believe there's only 10 episodes left! and anyone else out there with cablevision, there might be 0 episodes left for me! (did they show that cablevision commercial during lost anywhere outside of the northeast?)
