Not a flashback!

So I FINALLY watched the season finale of Lost this weekend, and it did not disappoint!

Jack leads the troops up to the radio tower while Sayid, Jin and Bernard stay behind at the beach to blow up Ben's troops, but there's a little mishap in the plans and the three of them get taken captive instead. Ben tries to have the three killed but that didn't work out so well for Ben since his troops are basically finally beginning to realize he's crazy and don't actually shoot them and then Hurley shows up out of nohere with his magic bus and saves them all. Seriously.

Charlie drowns... or does he? Never can tell with this show -- though before he does get submerged in water, manages to enter the code that for some random reason is... the tune to the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations? Walt reappears out of nowhere and helps Locke out of the ditch where he was about to put himself out of his misery. Neither Locke nor Ben however can stop Jack from making the call for rescue.

Splattered throughout the episode are flashbacks of a grizzly bearded ack being drunk and suicidal... but they turn out to NOT BE FLASHBACKS!! They are actually flashFORWARDS! So they do eventually escape off the island, but apparently life is not so good off the island and Jack wants to go back to Lost world. Kate is no so amused with this and abandons him to go back home to who I bet anyting is Sawyer.

And that's a wrap for now...but is Charlie really dead? Can Desmond get back to the troops in time to warn them? Do they really get off the island? Is next season full of flashforwards instead of flashbacks? Who knows.

And so my DVR is now officially depleted aside from some random movies to be watched. Damn summer tv *sigh*
