Regardless of how this all ends, there will be plenty of debate and speculation about what it all means. What more can you ask from a modern sci-fi/adventure series? I'm very curious how the show will be looked upon 10 or 20 years down the road, but for now, I'm strapped in and savoring every minute of it. A few more questions to ponder: * Is Smokey John a true prisoner of the island, hence the chain rattling contrail from his swift vengeance? * When Jacob's human form was killed, can he too inhabit the body of the deceased (see: Sayid)? * Are these two parallel timelines on a collision course of epic proportions?

The writers have had time to craft a story that ties in what has come before, whether it was retrofitted to fit what was there or planned from day one. And now we have until May 23rd to wonder what is in store for us come the end. And I can't wait.
