Just in case anyone missed it, this is the game Jacob and MiB were playing in the previews for next weeks episode.
Reversi
A strategy game involving two sides, usually one dark and one light. Each player's goal is to have a majority of the game pieces to be their color. This is done by blocking-in the opponent's pieces and turning over the piece to reveal the opposite side--representing the opposing player.
Sound familiar to anyone?

I think LOST is going to come to an end with incredible disappointment or a real treat.
This episode tonight just made me feel LOST. We now understand that fLocke is really bad. Sun and Jin are gone. Sayid is gone. Kate was shot by Widmore's people. So, Widmore is not good either. It seems Jack is trying to keep everyone together and be a team.
I have so many things on my mind. But fLocke took the bomb that was wired on the plane and switched it with Jack's bookbag. It detonated in the sub. Is it possible that Widmore and fLocke are working together?
I don't know what to make of the bomb. Maybe Jack was right about it nothing happening if Sawyer had not disconnected a wire and made it count down faster. Maybe nobody would have died. But what happened, happened.
Things were happening so fast I caught a small glimpse of it, but what was sayid saying about a well with desmond to jack for?
Meh, Seems like more questions, just like I said we as an audience are in for a real treat or disappointment.

Wow. Goodbye Sayid, Sun and Jin.
Next week looks like a MIB vs. Jacob centric type episode. Maybe we will find out about them.

That's an interesting question. That could be a possibility.
My thoughts are that Widmore wants back on the island and wants revenge on Jacob and Ben for expelling him from his "rightful place". Who better to work with than fLocke to get all that done?
For those that don't know it ( like me ) The final has expanded to 2 1/2 hours.
From 9PM to 11:30PM May 23rd.

Oh wow! Can't wait.
Just a teeny tiny thing I noticed. I got "Catch a Falling Star" stuck in my head after the music box scene, soon after they were infiltrating the submarine. The incidental music around there is very similar to Falling Star.
But that was a great action-y episode. I wonder if Jack was right about the bomb though, that if they left it it wouldn't have detonated?
One thing about the music box. Did anyone else notice that the music box that Claire had recieved from Christian's will is the same music box that Rousseau had? It was even missing the dancer inside.
I did notice that, very nicely done, but was soon distracted by the possibility that Claire was perhaps having her "gaze in the mirror" moment. Sad to see Jin and Sun die but Jin's character arch was truly perfected, and it was a joy to experience it.
Thinking back to the name 'Kwon' on the list, the moment their scene ended I thought it was referring to both of them but then thought that if Sun was a candidate she wouldn't have gotten trapped (much like Juliet, and unlike the others in the room). Jin made the decision to stay which makes me think he was the candidate and his choice to not leave took him out of the equation.
Also, did it have to be Sayid that ran with the bomb and blow up? The only arab in the series and he ends like that? They even did it in Clash of the Titans (spoiler) the Jin in the movie speak arabic and the one that comes along with them ends up blowing itself. Subliminal messages? Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you...
One more week and we still don't know who Jack's ex-wife is in the alternate reality. I hope this is some kind of monster bombshell -- Rousseau?
Jack is piecing everything together, and I like that. But if he ends up as the new Jacob, it's going to seem like six years of "Duh." I'm still pulling for Sawyer. He survived the bomb, so apparently the island isn't done with him yet.
What happened to Lapidus and the sub captain? Dead?
The plane is bothering me. I can't believe anyone thinks it's remotely a viable escape from the island. Is there enough fuel? Was it damaged in the landing? It's shelter, a radio, maybe some supplies and that's about it.
And Widmore is troubling me, too. Ostensibly wants to save the island. And yet his plans to kill fLocke mesh nicely with fLocke's plans to kill the candidates, which will lead to the island's destruction? I don't trust the guy.
BTW, did you notice that when Lapidus was holding the gun on the sub captain, there was a big FIRST AID KIT there right after Hurley said he couldn't find it?

I'm not going to lie, we were cracking up about that 'coincidence'.
I bet there will be some sort of protest or outcry from arab people about this... ugh, don't get me started.
Anyway, my eyes were tearing during Sun and Jin's final scene. Partly because it was so emotional and partly because I believe this is how it's going to go down the rest of the season. One-by-one, people will be killed off until we get to the final two--my guess is the final scene will be Jack and Flocke sitting on the beach to mimic the scene between Jacob and MiB.
And then there were 4...
I have so many disjointed thoughts after last night.
There's still a Kwon, just not on the island. Although, at this point, I don't think we'll see any more additions to the island. Or will we see one more spin of the wheel... There's something more to that Jewelry box...
I have the feeling that Widmore understands the consequences and was perhaps a candidate at one time.
It will be interesting to see if Jin, Sun or Sayid come to see Hurley and guide him along.
Why is MIB so interested in taking care of Claire? Is he hoping to use her as his queen of darkness?
Sayid, I feel, had become disillusioned with Flocke...as did Claire...and wanted to help 'the resistance'. He was letting Jack know about Desmond, whom he obviously did NOT kill, as he must be VERY important to Flocke as something that can derail his plans.
Sayid truly redeemed himself in the end.
Did anyone else think the Bomb was fake?
The bomb looked like it was the c4 from the plane plus the wristwatch that Flock took of the second guy he killed at the plane.
Does Flocke have the skills to make a time bomb out of just that? Is Sayid really dead? (Probably he is, but just questions to ask)

Not bad bomb making skills for a guy who has been trapped on an island for at least 150 years...
Being dead doesn't mean we won't see Sayid or the Kwons again. This is Lost after all.
I thought it was interesting when Flocke grabbed the watch before he got on the plane. So presumably, he knew he would find explosives on the plane?
Nothing like locking you in a sub with a few bricks of C4 to let you know how important you are...

What an awesome episode last night! So now everyone finally is against MiB (well, except maybe Claire). This was him showing his hand and true colors. Hopefully Jack and the gang will hook up with Alpert and get to work destroying MiB. I don't think they'll go back to Widmore.
I'm glad Sayid went out on a good note, but was surprised that both Jin and Sun died. Especially when they have a daughter off the island. I would have thought that Sun would have pushed for Jin to leave more.
I'm still thinking MiB and Jacob end the show on the beach talking to each other again like
Jacob: "Well, you almost did it didn't you?"
MiB: "Yes...it's only a matter of time."
Then they look up and see another plane overhead.

Happened long before that...he didn't kill Desmond now, did he?
I think Jack is really getting things now. I believe he was absolutely right - that if Sawyer didn't try to disarm the bomb, it wouldn't have gone off, because MiB set it, and he can't kill them himself.
It seems like Jack is starting to think like a third party, like a viewer of the show instead of one of the pawns on the Island. 'What if he isn't allowed to kill us?' sounds like something we would have speculated in this thread. I think Jack realizes (or believes) that they are really all just pieces to a game being played by a higher power, but he also realizes that the pieces have free will, and can somewhat choose their own destiny.
A very interesting line, towards the beginning of the show, is when Jack simply says to John (in the FST): 'You are a candidate'. He is, of course, talking about the treatment, but it's an interesting juxtaposition, since he is clearly no longer a candidate in the OT.
Jack seems to be putting things together in both timelines. In the OT, he is letting the Island take over, trusting in his candidacy, etc. In the FST, he is realizing that they were all on 815, and is slowly putting together that there is more than meets the eye here. He is reaching a Desmond-like point.

The current newsstand issue of Wired has an article about LOST, and while I don't have it in front of me at the moment, I remember that one of the guys says something to the effect that they're not saying any more about the numbers. We know all that we're going to know about them.
Yes, I was distracted at that moment and completely missed what Sayid whispered to Jack. Does anyone else know?
Good grief, yes, it said "FIRST AID KIT" in giant red letters. I briefly wondered whether Hurley intentionally didn't bring it (not that I have a reason for thinking so).
