I think in the end Kate will end up going her own way. I don’t believe she will choose Jack or Sawyer. In the first episode of season 6 Kate went to check on Jack first after they time traveled. In the 3rd episode Kate went to check on Sawyer in the house that Sawyer and Juliet shared. Kate has been so back and forth over the first 5 seasons, although I think she has always leaned more towards Sawyer than Jack. Maybe if Sawyer and Juliet didn’t live together then maybe Kate would have chosen Sawyer.

There are only a handful of episodes left before Kate has to make her decision, let’s see what happens.

As Lost now has kicked off it’s Last & Final season, here is a look back at the Top 10 reveals from the first 5 seasons of Lost. Hopefully there will be a lot more reveals this season.

10. Rose’s husband Bernard is actually alive. The whole first season she kept saying he was alive, in season 2 we finally get to meet him.
9. Jin speaks English.
8. Locke was in a wheelchair. Flashback to Locke trying to go on a walkabout and it is revealed that Locke was in a wheelchair before the plane crash.
7. Locke is the dead dude Jeremy Bentham seen in the Flash Forwards.
6. Jacob has been in the lives of the passengers of Oceanic flight 815, before they made it to the island. Sayid, Kate, Sawyer, Jack, Jin & Sun, John all meet Jacob before coming to the island.
5. Sayid was in the Republican National Guard.
4. Richard Alper never ages.
3. End of Season 3 is a flash forward, revealing at least some passengers will indeed get off the island.
2. French woman’s distress signal has been on a loop for 16 years.
1. Ethan’s not on the list. When Hurley reveals to Jack that Ethan is not on the passenger manifest.

Two series that I watch are about to come to an end. Lost and Dollhouse. With Lost we have known for a few years that the 6th season would be its last. Dollhouse was forced to an end a couple months ago. This all makes me think about the end of The X-Files.

The X-Files was my favorite series in college. Quite possibly my favorite series ever. Seasons 1-5 were awesome. The first movie came out which was really hyped and I feel lived up to the hype. Season 6-7 were really good as well, but you could easily see that they had moved from Vancouver to California. After season 7 David Duchovny didn’t want to be a part of the series anymore, but Fox knowing that The X-Files was a cash cow went on with seasons 8 & 9 anyways. A very big mistake. I have yet to meet a fan of the series that enjoyed the last 2 seasons, my wife even stopped watching and she’s just as big a fan me. Duchovny of course came back for parts of season 8 & 9 (but it didn’t make a difference at that point) and the second movie, which also seems kind of blah. I really wish the show had ended at season 7.

Dollhouse up until Fox announced was canceled seemed to really be wandering and not giving us a whole lot of answers about anything. Thankfully Fox allowed Joss Whedon some time to finish off the series, instead of just blowing it away like they did with Firefly (in my opinion his best series). This has given Joss the opportunity to spew forth lots of answers. Since Fox canceled the series I have actually enjoyed it a lot more and will miss it. When Fox announced the cancellation I was really ambivalent to the news. Fox making Joss condense the show to 7 or 8 episodes what would have been dragged out over 3-4 years is a quick payoff for the fans. Though I am sure many will be upset over the quick end.

Lost announced the end of the series a few years back. This really let JJ Abrams and crew plot out where the series was going to go and how to end the show and how to lead up to that end. I really think this was an excellent decision on the part of ABC. I am really going to miss Lost when it goes off the air, but it is a thousand times better then some of cast or crew getting upset and leaving the show and the series dragging on for a few extra seasons that no one really enjoys and really brings down the series as a whole.

There are lots more shows that dragged on too long Prison Break, Alias (thankfully ABC saw that error quickly and it only dragged on for about half a season too long). And way to many that end earlier than they needed to Buffy, Angel, Jericho.

It is definitely a fine balance of not canceling a show to early and not letting drag on to long. I think Lost might be the first series that has ever found that balance.

It seems like Richard Alpert is the only person that doesn’t age on Lost. He has spent a lot of time both on and off the island, but still doesn’t seem to age. Does he know where the good mojo is on the island? Does he go and bathe in it every time he comes back to the island? Hopefully we’ll get some concrete answers about him.

Jack decided he didn’t want to svae Ben, so instead Kate & Sawyer took Ben to the others, where Richard says “He’ll forget this ever happened, and that, his innocence will be gone”. NO!!!! I have never agree with the theory that we can’t change the past. If time travel is possible, then we must be able to change the past. Oh yeah and how is Sayid that bad of a shot? He should have easily been able to kill Ben.
