I usually watch each Lost episode 4-5 times until the next episode is aired. That gives me enough time to absorb all the details in the episode. But when I watched this Finale a few months ago, I was so upset. John is my favorite character on any TV show.ever. Seeing him dead in the coffin made me speechless. I really had no idea how and what to feel. I decided to stop watching Lost altogether and just pretend the show was terminated. So I get to remember the amazing show Lost used to be before this shocking moment. Recently I started reading some sites and interviews with the creators of Lost, turns out Locke and Jin will STILL appear in Season 5. As “Death” on the island isn't the same as the “Death” we all know and hate. That restored my faith a bit.

Now I have the urge to watch the show to find some answers to these questions:

Who killed John?
Why did they kill John?
How did he die?

People keep saying that Locke died because the island was done with him. But I am not so sure about that statement. Keep in mind that John told the Oceanic 6 that “Bad things started happening” after they left. What if the Island / Jacob lost control of their power? What if the Island can't protect or change things outside anymore? And I thought of something else that made more sense…

What if Locke dying IS the way for him to serve his purpose. Locke's death had a very huge impact on Jack and it is pushing him to get back to the Island. So maybe John being allowed to die will be reveresed when John gets back to the Island?

This may have been mentioned somewhere, but uhhh, what happened to Desmond's visions? He told Charlie that he had to die for Claire to get on a helicopter and be rescued. The season ended, some of the Losties got on a helicopter and got off the Island. Claire was stuck in Jacob's cabin all drugged like… Did I miss something? Whatever happened to that? Charlie just died in vain?

Sometimes I think the writers aren’t playing fair, why wouldn’t they refer to him as Locke, instead of Bentham or other descriptors. Also the voices you hear when the smokemonster, ghosts, or others appear, it was played during Hugo’s party, but apparently there weren’t any dead characters there.

@Mike -makes sense for next season to cover the return and then season 6 be centered on resolution. Can’t wait.

@ Frank – Ah, I think I missed those key tidbits about Bentham.

But I am curious about what we’ll even see regarding the Island next year. With Locke dead, who will we “flash back” with to see what happened?

I assume we’ll now continue in the present…with their attempt to get back.

The way I see it laying out now: Next season is about getting back, the final season is about the resolution to the entire thing.

Jin could have survived I guess but the chances would be rather low I would think. You just don’t want to be that close to that much C4 when it turns a freighter into flying shrapnel. Somebody else mentioned the people on the launch picking him up. That would be a way to logically get him back to the Island.

Will the remaining 815 and freighter survivors in the beach camp conflict with the Others now led by Locke? That’s going to be interesting to see.

Also, Jin was probably surrounded by debris that he could have floated on for awhile…and we still don’t know if he was caught in the wake of the island moving.

Because remember…the Looking Glass station is underwater…so SOME of the surrounding area goes with it.
