Tonight’s 2-hour “Lost” finale can go in one of three directions:
1) Huge plot twist that’ll keep people talking through the lengthy offseason hiatus
2) Underwhelming lack of twists that’ll keep people talking angrily though the lengthy offseason hiatus
3) Really cryptic, unresolved twist that’ll keep people scrambling to make sense of it through the lengthy offseason.
I’m bettin’ my teleporting cabin on #3, though it’s anybody’s guess exactly what the twist will involve. Here are my predictions and crazy half-predictions for the episode tonight — please leave your own in the comments, and whoever comes closest will earn back the respect I lost when none of us got the Indiana Jones Variety headline correct:
– Frank dies, Keamy dies, Jin lives, Claire’s fate remains ambiguous
– We’ll get a touching final moment between Sawyer and Kate that ends with Kate attempting to kiss Sawyer but Sawyer turns his head. We’ll also learn what Kate’s mainland promise was to Sawyer — I’m guessing it involves taking care of one of his family members.
– The freighter explodes, but we don’t know exactly who’s on it. A bunch of extras die, and probably Michael. Desmond will be fine.
– Gotta at least get some plot advancement with regard to Widmore and Unaging Alpert; I forsee Widmore getting tipped off about the suspicious nature of the Oceanic Six’s survival, and Richard will end up helping to guide Locke into moving the island.
– The very final moment in the episode will be John ‘moving’ the island, then some huge, massive effect, then John wakes up sees something crazy (crazier than a ghost of his dad – not sure what, but it will make absolutely no sense) and it’ll cut to John saying “[person's name]?” then a cut to the final LOST title screen of the season.
What else ya got, people? Leave your crazy finale predictions in the comments!
