20 minutes didn't make it in the broadcasted version. The DVD version of the episode will be even longer. Something tells me this is a scene they skipped.

quote:
Not to mention what the world was thinking after the Aljira flight vanished and the passenger log would have shown that the famous Oceanic 6 were on that flight as well. Then that plane reappears carrying one member of the 6 (Kate), a man who will have no identity to the outside world (Richard), and 2 other survivors from the original crash who were presumed to be dead (Sawyer and Claire).

Not to mention Miles. I could see the others going on to have a semi-normal life, and Lapidus can play stupid since no one knows he left with the Oceanic 6, but Kate is screwed. In the very least she's going to be arrested for violating her parole, and thats the least of her problems. All of Ajira flight 316 is missing but Lapidus, to where mass murder may come in, as well as kidnapping Aaron and lying before a grand court on what really happened. Plus Hurley buying all those tickets proved that they knew something was up.

Yep, the best years of their lives were on the island together.

I struggled a bit with Kate and Sawyer leaving the island knowing that they did not have much to look forward to. Then again they both were better people as a result of their experience on the island. Also they thought the island was being destroyed so I guess survival instincts, which a very strong in Kate and Sawyer, kicked in at that point.

I think I would have preferred more faith in Jack to stop the destruction of the island. It probably would have made more sense for Lapidus to fly Miles, Richard and Desmond off the island but the writers may have felt it would have reduced the impact of the ending. Kate and Sawyer staying together on the island would have definitely strained the credibility of the couples at the end in flash sideways. Really, I think it was well thought out and I loved it. That scene with Vincent lying next to Jack as he was dying was just perfect.
