Jack-John episode

If I were Jack, I would said a little bit more than just "trust me, the bomb is not going to blow us up". How about telling Sawyer about what happened with Richard? and getting Hurley to back him up?

Where is Ben?

Things are starting to wrap up and as I always said, "Questions are so much better than Answers". People have said to me that there is no way the series finale will be satisfying, which I disagreed with, because I thought it would be nice to see how smart the story has been from beginning to end. But now, I'm realizing that the answers are going to be too abrupt and with all the clues they've given since the series inception, it's all going to be too obvious or too simple. That makes me sad.

I'm still hoping to be blown away, but after watching this week's episode, I've realized that I'm a little blown away and overwhelmed by something else in my life right now, that it seems even more likely that the LOST finale is going to be anti-climatic.

How many more episodes are there? Your thoughts?
