Jack's Task: Return cast to island to correct future

[Desi's Brother]

Well that was an awsome last episode.

I'm really digging the idea that they get rescued and at least some of the story now takes place as flash forwards. Great idea -the flashbacks were getting a bit stale. Very exciting. I like it because it means that when they return to the island they are going back with a purpose so we don't have to worry about them getting rescued anymore, since this is obviously not how things are "meant" to happen.

I think all the main people were selected to be on that plane to furfill some ultimate purpose (what I don't know--preventing a future disaster perhaps)

I wonder if some of the major supporting characters from the flashbacks were people who had been given the job of setting in motion the conditions to get our main characters onto the island. ex. Locke's Dad, the fortune teller etc.

I think Jack's task for next season will be to get all the main people back to the island so he can correct the future. Which will not be easy of course. They have failed in their purpose and must return, like Desmond has to redo things. This is very cool because it could mean we get some new people onto the island like Penny!

Obviously something really bad happens before they return to civilization to cause Jack to totally lose it. I wonder if the other Losties are on a similar downward spiral. Wil Locke stay behind?

I'm sad that Charlie died. He annoyed me for a long time, but now its a shame. At least there was some closure and purpose to his character dying unlike Poor Shannon who just got shot for no reason.

Will Michael return?

I can't believe we now have to wait so long!!!!

They'll still be flashbacks because the reference point will be the 'present'.

Basically if it had been setup for 5 seasons we would have had 1 season of them getting back and 1 season of them dealing with fixing the issues surrounding the island leading to the finale.

Instead we get 2 seasons getting back to the island(with padding).. and 1 shortened season of them fixing the issues surrounding the island leading to the finale.
