SPOILERS!!!

Could someone explain the ash to me? I'm drawing a blank...

I think if I was watching with someone else (other than fellow Lost enthusiasts like yourselves), they would think me crazy...

I so cheered when Juliet took charge in the sub! (however, the look Bernard gave her has me a bit worried)

And then I was so ecstatis when Vincent ran out, and then we saw Rose & Bernard! Are we to take it that the other survivors all dies along the way though, from flaming arrows etc?

And Locke died twice?

Well, this fight has been coming for three years.

Vogs, in the original ep when we saw the cabin, it was surrounded by ash. Ben made sure that Locke did not break the circle of ash when he crossed over it.

Is Juliet pregnant? Looked like she had her hand on a baby bump.

Quite the beatdown!

And Juliet changing her mind... at least they explained why right away

Another question - what was the candy Jack got from the vending machine? I couldn't read the label on my smaller TV. It may not be important but there's often hidden Easter eggs and fun references in these so I'm curious

So... Jacob has given the Losties all something... a lunch box, a pen, life, a blessing, a candy bar that'd been stuck... etc. Sometimes with words that seem to doom... telling Kate she won't steal again but she does; telling Sun & Jin not to take their marriage for granted, but they do (pre-Island, now it's good of course). But others like the line about a push when talking to Jack don't quite seem the same...

The candy was an Apollo bar, which was also the brand that was in Swan that Kate ate.

Interesting that it was Christian gave Jack the push that Jacob referred to. maybe he does speak for Jacob and has for some time.

Thanks for the answers Charlotte!

Perhaps he does? Or if something happened to Jacob, perhaps it was because of Christian? Not really sure what's going on with them at this point but I'll go wherever the writers/producers take us!

I'm beginning to think that that wasn't Jacob in the cabin that Ben and Locke visited, that it was the other man on the beach with him (Esau?), and he's the one who asked Locke for help. That's why Locke's going to kill Jacob, to restore this other man's birhtright to lead the Island.

OK, if Jacob is "imprisoned" on the Island (or whatever), how could he be in L.A getting Hurley out of jail? I'm sooo confused.
