Sorry for not replying to this sooner. I've been away for a while, moving and getting settled, but it's been on my To Do list ...
It's okay!
Shhhbpppbppp! (Flashback noise)
still haven't seen the epilogue, so I have yet to find out what that further answers may be revealed there
The amusing thing about the epilogue is that much of it is precisely what the show was not: people standing around and rattling off explanations for things.
A few of the things they addressed were things I strongly expected never to be addressed in any form, so it was funny to see them come up again.
Of course, not giving him a name, is sort of the ultimate insult, isn't it? Makes you feel a bit sorry for him.
I do feel sorry for him! The show did him dirty in several respects.
Samuel starts out as the favorite and gets damned simply for wanting to leave the island; Jacob ends up in control because of his lack of curiosity.
This sums it up pretty well. That was what appalled me about Jacob in "Across the Sea." Modern-day Jacob seems to be curious, to be interested. He cares about understanding people. Remember the mini-speech he gave to Hurley at the end of "Lighthouse," about how some people have to be allowed to find their own paths to the truth? I mean, can you imagine "Across the Sea" Jacob saying anything like that?
they escape, and live happily ever after--um, wherever that may be
My guess is they live in Honolulu-standing-in-for-L.A. I mean, if it's not on the Island, that's where it usually is.
I went back to check and ... it was you (or your friend). "Portal to Narnia" is a pretty good one too. Mind if I use it?
I hereby transfer all "Portal to Narnia" usage rights to you.
It's okay!
