Still no host... but then that's because I haven't done anything to change that. I'll do that maybe tomorrow... today I have a busy day ahead - a trip to the dog park and a 3.5 hour class on how to be unemployed courtesy of the state. I'll do whatever they want me to do in order to get my weekly check but honestly... people... I was unemployed for

When we first met Ben, I thought I hated him. I admired his intelligence but I could not stand him. But now, after season 6, I realize how much I really loved him. I think the reason he didn't go into the Church was because he wasn't ready to move on from the Island. I really think he was doing everything in the best interest of the Island, even though morality got blurred somewhere in there. I don't think he was a bad person at all. He was a good person who did some bad things.

I don't think Michael was in the Church because he couldn't escape the Island, his guilt for killing Ana Lucia and Libby. As for Walt, I don't think he was there because once he escaped the Island, the Island was done with him. I imagine he lived his life normally from when he returned home until the point in his life when he died. It would have been nice for him to be reunited, but I can understand why he wasn't.

The last scene with Jack and Vincent was just... amazing. It was so powerful, so moving, so fucking beautiful that at the end of this episode my crying went to sobbing that lasted for quite a while. I still cannot get over that scene. Jack smiling as he dies, as he found his purpose in life and knew that those on the plane finally got to go home... it was so powerful.

I honestly believe LOST is the deepest, most amazing show I have ever watched in my life. The symbolism and themes that they carried throughout the entire series were those that are the hardest to answer. And in a way, the show answered every question, but in a way, they didn't because everything is open to interpretation. I think the show proved that good and evil, fate and choice, love and loss can all exist together in harmony, even though they are opposites.

And one of my favorite points of the show has to deal with reality and the flash sideways (which I believe is their afterlife.) The message I take from the parallels between the two realities are that you don't have to be stranded or lost to find human connection. Furthermore, I believe the scene with Jack dying and Vincent coming to lay with him is a testament to his "live together, die alone" theory. Jack had always said that you had to help one another so that you didn't die alone. And in Jack's final moments, he helped everyone to escape the Island and therefore didn't have to die alone, he died with Vincent at his side.

Sorry for such a long post. XD I just have so many thoughts spinning around in my head right now that I can barely even think straight.
