Voted Excellent. My original guess last year on who was in the casket turned out to be correct.

LOCKE? Why did he get off the island? How'd he really die? I thought it'd be ben.

3.5/4
Good but didn't blow me away. It was a little by-the-numbers, everything happening exactly the way I thought it would. I feel this was a flaw of the flash-forwards, telegraphing too many events in advance. The only "surprise" was Dessie getting off the Island and meeting Penny. Hell, I even guessed Locke was in the coffin (or Ben).
We didn't find out where or when the Island went to. We didn't find out if Claire is dead or not (though her appearing in a vision to Kate makes her 90% dead I'll admit).
Looks like Penny is helping Sun and the O6 go after Widmore in a huge sting operation. Me likes.

Excellent. It was by the numbers, but finding out who was in the coffin was an excruciating wait even though I began to suspect who it was not too long ago.

PENNY AND DESMOND FOREVER!!!!!
Oh, yeah, and the rest of the episode...
Right up to the point when he appeared behind Jack, I was convinced that Ben was in the coffin. He was known to have alias and this guy's name was Jeremy Bentham for crying out loud!
But why did it have to be JOHN?!?!
I'm not convinced Jin and Michael are dead. Somehow, someway, I suspect Jacob saved them. Only time will tell.
The three best moments of the entire episode (after Penny and Desmond reuniting):
1. Hurley giving Jack the complete smackdown in regards to John moving the Island. FUCK YA!
2. Claire appearing at Aaron's bedside. Claire looked like she was about to rip a new one into Kate!
3. Sawyer jumping off the helicopter! Godsdamn, I love you, Sawyer!
Oh, man I'm SO glad this was a two-hour episode!

Killing Keamy early on was a shocker, but when the ship didn't blow up I knew he wasn't really dead. Thus, when a mysterious person goes down the elevator it's obviously Keamy.
I'll admit they faked me out on Jin surviving the bomb, but I knew back when "Ji Yeon" aired that Jin wasn't dead. It was too obvious.
One fascinating tidbit: Charlotte was on the Island before! Guess that makes her Annie, Ben's childhood sweetheart. I suddenly give a frak about her as a character for the first time since her first episode.
So, the Off-Island Anti-Widmore Team: Penny, Desmond, Frank, Sun, Ben, Sayid... Jack, Hurley, Kate probably not involved.
Who's left on the Island now? Locke, Sawyer, Juliet, Jin, Claire (if she's alive), Miles, Charlotte.
Since Faraday was in a zodiac when the Island teleported, doesn't that mean he was stranded in the middle of the ocean just like the O6? But wait if the survivors of the Kahana explosion presumably make it back to the Island, it's Faraday driving them. Never mind. I couldn't see only Locke, Juliet, Miles, and Charlotte being on-Island next season!

So much stuff went on but it all worked out great. I can't wait for next season.

wow. very excellent from beginning to end. a tour de force.
i will say that i believe michael is dead, simply because just before the c4 blew, christian appeared to him and told him that he could go. referring to the previous episode about the island not letting him kill himself.

Excellent! I’ve had months of built up expectations and this finale delivered. That’s right. It delivered. I’m satisfied with what we got. My three questions were answered and I got closure on what they set up this season. Now for my point by point observations...
- The opening was awesome. I loved how it picked up right where the season three finale left off and I loved how the “previously on Lost...” segued right into it.
- Miles is always good for a laugh.
- I’m glad Keamy is dead. I honestly hated the guy and not in a fun TV sort of way. It was pretty cool seeing Sayid trying to take him down.
- So, Charlotte is from the island huh? Can’t wait to find out what her story is.
- I thought Ben could come and go from the island whenever he wanted. Guess we were wrong. He got teleported off by in the move and has been off ever since. I thought we'd have to wait until next season to find out why Ben decided to take a trip off the island. I also thought he narrowly escaped a gun shot.
- Is this the last we’ll see of Michael? Is he alive? Or did Christian appear to tell him that he did what he had to do and his time was up? I’m guessing that that’s what happened, but part of me is hoping to see him again.
- I wonder what happened to Jin and the red-shirts. Did they survive? They didn’t move with the island.
- Speaking of the red-shirts, it was pretty contrived having them as faceless people scurrying to get in the water in lifejackets while the main characters left in the copter.
- I enjoyed seeing the actual rescue at the end.
- I hope we see Frank again next year.
- I wonder what Locke’s story is. Before he appeared, I assumed that Jeremy Bentham would be a new guy for season 5 or something.

Rose and Bernard too are still on the island.
You ain't kidding on this one. Shows you how much the Oceanic Six gave a damn about anyone not in their little circle.

Gave it an excellent.
That was some great stuff. Probably the best season finale they've done!

Oh, and in case you missed the rerun of part 1, there was a scene added to the press conference. Jack said that Boone, Charlie and Libby also survived the crash but died.

Also, a whole season went by and we learned nothing about Jacob or the Four Toed Statue. I thought we were supposed to learn about the Statue this year! And didn't they say Jacob was a "season four question"? Is this because of the strike?
Also, we didn't learn how Ben summoned Cerebus, or indeed anything else about Cerebus.
On the whole I'd have to say S3 was the best year, and "Live Together" was the best finale. Nothing beats the combo of Desmond's history and the Swan implosion.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. You weren't joking! Well, except for the Star Wars bit.Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! This is going to be awesome! I can't freaking wait! I'm mostly spoiler free so I'm ready to be shocked with the most amazing finale ever!
Oh yeah and guess what I found out...
It turns out the "frozen donkey wheel" is actually a frozen donkey wheel! They go down into the Orchid and there's this donkey frozen midstep in the donkey wheel. Ben busts out a flamethrower and melts the ice and gets the donkey moving again. Suddenly, the Island disappears in a puff of smoke and reappears on the surface of one of the lesser moons of Endor. Many yub yubs are heard and there is great rejoicing for some reason....
Talk about crazy!
Re: Lost Season Four Finale: "There's No Place Like Home, Parts II & I
Wow...that was really awesome. It was great to finally find out the "how" and "who" to put with the flash-forwards.
As to the coffin--yeah, I think we all called that one, but part of me wishes I was wrong. So now we get one more season to figure out what happened while the 6 were gone, what Smokey really is, who Jacob is, what happened to Claire, how John got off the island and died, what was up with the 4 toed statue.......Christ, it better be a long season!

Excellent. I've used up my adrenaline supply for the next 6 months.

Sayid taking down Keamy was excellent. He is the most competent character on the show bar none.
Oh yeah speaking of the O6 leaving. Why didn't they get anybody else on the copter? Jeez. They know the boat's about to blow and they're just flying to the Island. You don't cram it like a sardine with all the idiots running around?!
Also... Sayid discovers a finger-sized hole in the fuel tank a foot from his face. He can't stick his finger in there? Or clap his hand to it? Or stick a rag in it? WTF?
We know Michael is alive. When Walt visits Hurley, Hurley says they're protecting the people left on the Island like his dead. Ergo, Michael is alive. How does Hurley know? Charlie/Jacob told him. Jacob doesn't lie. Jacob loves you.
