Wow.  Great 2 hour finale.  I must say though, JJ Abrams has done it again.  He has once again left us all hanging with more questions than we have answers.  We finally have the answer to who was in the casket from the Season 3 finale - Locke.   Now I'm wondering why there was a different name on the casket?  How/why was Locke back in the US?  Wasn't he supposed to be the new leader on the island?  It was never explained to the viewers exactly how it is that Benjamin Linus went from being deep below ground on the island to being in the desert in the Middle East either.  Or how he (Ben) plans to bring Jack & co. (as well as the late John Locke) back to the island... Or WHY he wants to bring them back to the island.  IS Hurley really crazy, or is it all just a part of the coverup act?  Why would Sun want to help Charles Widmore in any manner? 

Obviously there's more to Charlotte than what Abrams is letting us know right now.  I guess the same could be said of Miles as well.  Interesting that they both want to stay on the island, but for different reasons (I presume). 

Now on to the supernatural... Just who exaclty is Christian Sheppard anyway???  Yes, I know that he is Jack & Claire's Father.  But is he too a native of the Island? Just a guess.  I'm starting to think that the guy is inhuman.  Could Christian possibly be "Jacob"???  If not, then who/what is "Jacob" anyway?  Another thing that bugs me is that we just finished the 4th season, and we still know next to nothing about that smoke creature that was appearing as early as the first season.  All we really learned about it this season is that Ben was able to control it by some means unknown to the viewer. 

Sometimes I wonder why I ever started watching this show.  I have this love/hate relationship with it.  All the questions bug me, but at the same time, I'm completely addicted to the show.  I absolutely cannot stop watching it. 

I'm curious about hearing the thoughts/opinions of others who watched tonight's finale.  What do YOU think?
