Bosco... yes, they are cooking the meal as they're trying to feed it to us. I still can't wrap my brain around the notion of how setting off a hydrogen bomb is going to fix everything. Are they unaware of the fact that the bomb going off might... oh, I don't know, KILL THEM ALL? And, last I looked, the island, though a fluidly adept time machine, is NOT a Type 40 TARDIS with a plasmic shell capable of withstanding prolonged exposure to Events Alpha and Omega...
In conclusion, I'll say what I've been too polite to say. THIS is an ABRAMS production. ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [scifinoir2] LOST Finale *** SPOILERS*** Date : Fri, 15 May 2009 09:29:33 -0700 (PDT) From : Bosco Bosco <ironpi...@yahoo.com> To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com I'm still mulling over this one. The bomb bugged me to no end. In spite of the fact that they are claiming they've got a plan, it really is beginning to feel like they're making it up as they go along. So much so that I am beginning to have some nagging doubts that they'll pull off a reasonable and credible ending. I'm not a "contempt prior to investigation" kind of viewer, so I'll definitely be on board for the last season but with some nagging sense that we're all looking at Galactica proportion betrayal/total let down in the works.

What does Jack know about the effects of igniting a hydrogen bomb in a highly electromagnetically -charged field (and/or giant time machine) anyway? He didn't even know how the bomb worked until Sayid explained it to him. He's a doctor, not a quantum physicist, darn it! Why did Sawyer even let Jack get away with it? Like Sawyer said, the past is in the past. Did Sawyer really want to get rid of blondie after all? Jack wasn't going to undo anything that already happened in the past or in the future. Furthermore, SOME good things did result from the Oceanic crash: Rose's cancer is gone, John can walk again, Sawyer was a productive member of society, that Aisan guy got to meet his father and find out why he really sent his mother and him away, Mr. Eco made peace with his brother, Jack got to meet the sister and nephew he never knew, the rocker kicked his heroin addiction, Hurley almost lost some weight, and the list goes on... Jack gets on my nerves with his self-righteous whining. What's so great about Kate's little sneaky behind anyway? How much therapy do you need to know that a nuclear strike is not the answer to a bad break-up? I just had to get that off my chest. (And Jacob, darling, the island's been vaporized, so I don't think anybody's coming.) Angela http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQdwk8Yntds
