2507

Let's give a big cheer for Friday. Hooray! So we've taken a look at the new Tom Clancy's (TOM CLANCY'S) EndWar, check out Nick's preview of it if you're feeling that a voice command RTS may be in your future. And for those wondering about the future of Guitar Hero, well we were too and talked to Vicarious Visions about it. And Steam Cloud? That just sounds flat out awesome.

      Really? I thought this was pretty obvious, just because there were only a few people who could really be in that coffin.

        But Ben can't go back to the island after moving it, but the island wants Locke back so it couldn't have been done the same way.

        I think Ben struck a dead with Locke that would allow ben to return to the island. He wouldn't have willingly left the island without a way to return "I always have a plan"

        I assume Ben wants to return to the Island, but according to what he said the Island won't permit it, and Ben might be destroyed in the process of trying.

  It was good, but ultimately I was left unsatisfied. I think Ben telling Jack that they ALL have to go back made it feel quite cheap. I was happy for Desmond and Penny though, they're such a lovely couple, I almost cried again.

        WHile season 2 wasnt the greatest, the last portion of the season rocked, to me.
        
        And the Villains storyline coming up looks promising.
        
        Im sure ill be entertained either way.

  Just over all impression I thought it was only meh. There was a couple bad ass scenes but they were few and far between. It just setup way too much for
  
  Jack spends most of season five doing bad shit to get everyone back and then season six he has to sacrifice himself for redemption. If it comes true or not it just sucks that he becomes a giant pile of emo. Bonus points for a la RotJ ghost of reunion at the end of Jack Charlie Mr Ecko etc
  
  John is never meant to be a leader. Richard new this the day he gave him the test. It's like the island is only talking to John cause he is the only one that listens. It seems like John figured out he was useless and gave his life to try and save the island by going to convince people to come back
  
  Sawyer has gone through some amazing character development but now he seems too good to be true. I liked him better as a bad ass looking for tail. He will end up a family man.
  
  Kate seems like she already knows that everyone, including Aaron, needs to go back to the island. The problem is I really can't figure out what side the "spirits" are on.
  
  Sun is my favorite in this finally. She is 100% emotion driven and is finally taping into her family power/fortune to get what she wants and that is obviously Ben dead. A little devils advocate for Ben is I think he knew the Island would save who it needed to so blowing up the boat really didn't matter that much.

    I think maybe Locke was always supposed to be the leader, but Ben usurped his authority in some way, maybe by fudging Richard's test. That would explain why Ben apologized to Locke in last night's ep for "making his life miserable".

    concerning locke, there must have been a pretty big rift between him and the others for him to have a funeral like the one he apparently has. should be interesting to see play out.

  Ben is the ultimate badass. I was seriously disappointed that Kate sleeps in shorts and not panties!
  I was sad about the reveal at the end.
