Right, so almost a week late, I finally got to see the finale.
I predict Michael will be back and have a chance to redeem himself. It's a main theme of the show after all, Jack and Co. need to be rescued (see below), and Walt's "powers" have yet to be fully explored.
I also believe that Ecko, Locke and Desmond are not dead. You can't just introduce Des' girl as a powerful new player without having him around in some capacity. But what capacity will that be? It could be something as mundane as a coma, but I'm betting on something more sensational; like teleportation or true purgatory. Maybe that midget from Twin Peaks will show up to sort things out.
My bet (hope) for season three, is that we'll also see more off-island activity as we follow Pen and her crew around. Plus, the Hanso Foundation shenanigans that've been uncovered through the websites will be folded into the plot.
As for Jack and Co., I have faith that they have a kick-ass plan that includes being captured. The scene in the forest where Michael's sins are exposed, and Jack says he has a plan but we don't get to hear it because of the editing, was a classic Scooby-Doo wind-up. I interpreted those fateful looks between the castaways at the end, to be full steely resolve, so I can't wait to see how it unfolds.
It's going to be a great opener. Think Luke Skywalker and Han Solo's rescue from the begining of Return of the Jedi. (Michael = Lando Calrissian?)
One more thought: Henry Gale is definitly this season's "Him" and the leader of the Others on the Island. But there's always someone higher, and we'll learn more about him/her/it/them over the course of next season while the off-island world takes shape.
Hell, Joopy, the 150 year old Oranguotang could be calling the shots. I doubt the Others are stricty a rogue operation cut off from the outside world. Of course there's always the possibility of a Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow scenario. That'd be cool too.
How much fun is this!
