I was rather irritated by Ilana's death as well, which also was, as you put it, seemingly "lacking of imagination or interest". I was hoping it had some connection to the fact that Ilana was never "touched" by Jacob in the season 5 finale (As opposed to Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Hurley, and Richard). Since Richard had divulged that he had been "touched" by Jacob and thus couldn't kill himself with dynamite, that was perhaps why everyone else was perfectly safe but once Ilana touched the unstable dynamite, she would instantly die. But perhaps I'm just giving the writers too much credit.Originally Posted by IdolEyes787
My guess would be that according to Jack's theory (and what I had previously mentioned that people "touched" by Jacob couldn't kill themselves) maybe contributed to why Locke couldn't get on the plane. Perhaps Jack/the others getting on the plane, starting the plane and blowing themselves up is too suicidal, so is thus rendered moot through Jacob's touch? But that with Jack's theory that they have to kill eachother, that triggering the countdown on the bomb would constitute killing eachother, thus allowing MIB to circumvent the "rules"?Or for that matter why wouldn't he have just let they on get on the plane and blow up?
Or another very likely possibility is that Locke was simply bluffing. Widmore had mentioned that he was protecting Sawyer "for his own good", and I don't see any logical reason for why Widmore would want the candidates dead.
Definitely have to agree with thatAll I have to say is that producers better have a pretty good parallel universe,last episode, their lives/deaths had meaning ,no sacrifice is in vain thing planned or someone can expect a rock through their window.. They've left far too many loose, seemingly unrelated and strangely organized plot points to not have an amazing, incredibly well written final couple of episodes to tie it together. Otherwise there will be quite a few very very disappointed Lost fans...
I'm still rooting for Hurley to be Jacob, but maybe that's me. He seems like a generally good natured guy that wouldn't be prone to MIB's corruption, and Jack seems like the far too predictable choice.
Oh and by the way, Lost finale is being extended half an hour (to two and a half hours!):

Hope that means good things to come... (and not just more commercial time). But if Lost is so structured as they claim it to be, could they really add that much additional content?
I also found this quote from TV.com to be funny (as referencing to Sun/Sayid's death):
PS: Where the fuck are Bernard and Rose (Island Timeline)?One more note: I've always been a big fan of the cast diversity of Lost, but in one sub explosion, the cast went from all the colors of the rainbow to pretty darned white!

. If the season finale in anyway can simply match the scale of the third season finale (Through the looking glass) I'll be completely satisfied, but maybe I'm expecting too much.
