Jin, Sun & Sayid Lost on LOST

Last night we lost 3 major characters on LOST. The plot is really moving in fast forward to its end, or so it seems.

Sayid, the lovable Iraqi torturer, went out in a heroic submarine blast. Jin and Sun, only recently reunited, also died heroically, in the blasted sinking submarine.

This episode we had a good dose of Bad John Locke, to hate, and Good John Locke, on the mainland, in a wheelchair, to like.

It is a testament to the cleverness of LOST that it pulls off a Bad and Good John Locke and makes sense doing so.

It appears the way the plot is going, that the few remaining survivors are now in a battle with Bad John Locke, aka the Smoke Monster, aka the Man in Black. Who knows how many of Charles Widmore's people survived last night's gunfire.

And we still have Desmond somewhere on the island, likely key to being very helpful in the final battle against Bad John Locke.

My guess for the LOST final ending is that the side story we've been watching all season long, you know, where the plane never crashed and they all made it safely from Australia to the U.S., well, that becomes the final reality.

Which would mean Jin and Sun are not dead. Nor is Sayid.

Then again, this is LOST, I really have no clue how they can possibly end this amazing TV show in a way that makes sense. All I know for sure is we are watching what is certain to become a television cult classic.
