But no. We get a temple. Nothing else. Maybe it was be for placing an unnecessary focus on the temple over the past few seasons, but it was shrouded in so much mystery that I couldn’t help but feel disappointed when there was nothing really special about it at all.

You may be right about Des being a constant, remember Eli, when she said ” the island hasn’t finished with you” or something like that when he appears in Church/Darma Station in the real world..

It obvious his plays a staring role in the story, because his situation is unique, not being on the plane, and not being an Other, and the most relevant fact is that on the final episode of season 5 when we see Jacob with each one of the losties, we do not see Desmond and Jacob at all..

So more questions than answers as always .. its just Lost mate! I’m kind obsessed right now cant wait until next Tuesday, I hope they reveal something more interesting…

Seeing other “undead” would creep me out :O I think this is how they are bringing back Claire. My guess is her and Sayid share the same ritual?

As for Smokey, even though the reveal illuminated a lot, I think there are still plenty we don’t know. There’s no way Lost would reveal everything about their biggest mystery right off the bat, although it’s clear he wants to invade the Temple. Maybe he wants the same baptism?

I do not think the producers will make alternate endings, but until now I can not imagine how these 2 lines will continue..

I just check the sneak peak 6×03, and it shows the people from the beach, Sun, the pilot, Mr Smoky approaching to the cemetery where they buried Ana Lucia, Boone, and the others losties that had died, this make me in the possibility of they waking up like Sayd did.. creepy !
keep the feedback mate is cool to exchange thoughts with someone that cares..
Cheers

What’s bizarre is that Juliet seemed to travel briefly between the two realities when she asks Sawyer out to coffee. I’m hoping Sayid can allude to this phenomenon later on, since he’s “undead.”
