“Right before we started shooting, [director] Jack Bender took me aside and told me about story that he read a long time ago, about this woman who was missing her dead husband, and how she had this beach ball that he blew up before he died. Every day she took a little breath from the beach ball. And that really got me right into the emotional core of where I needed to be to play that scene. Can you imagine that woman, taking that breath little by little every day, just to feel her husband’s presence?”

I was upset that Sun and Jin died, but mostly upset because they've put up with so much crap since season 1, only to have it end like it did. Frank's death didn't hit me until after the episode ended, and that sucked because he was one of my favorite characters, but I can see how he wasn't really essential to the plot anymore.
Wasn't as shitty as Faraday's death. I was inconsolable after that.
Edit: Speculation!
I think Sideways-Locke knows about the "real" timeline, where he's able to walk, and then dies, and then this evil presence takes his form. I think this is part of the reason he doesn't want Jack's help in getting the use of his legs back. Maybe being able to walk again puts him one step closer (pun SO intended) to the timeline where things don't work out so well for him?
One of the few underrated subplots is how unfulfilling Locke's life is. All that crap with his father happens, he never gets to be with Helen, he can't walk. He goes to the island, and can walk again, but he becomes a crucial cog in this gigantic mystery for years, never getting any answers. And the only way anyone ELSE can solve what's going on is for him to die, alone and answer-less. Sad.

COME, my tan-faced children,
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready,
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp-edged axes?
Pioneers! O pioneers!
The only thing that would surprise me at this point is if the show took a huge left turn and everyone died and the island disappeared forever with no explanations. THE END (with subtitles saying "f*** you Lost fans! haha")
Holy crap, it nearly came true.
The part that doesn't make sense to me is why didn't Locke just have everyone hop on the plane and let them blow it up if he just wanted everyone dead?

Alt-John took flying lessons...with the bleeding effect going on, does that mean Smokey can effectively fly the Ajira plane out of there?

Because a bomb alone couldn't kill them, as Jack's game of Candidate Chicken in the Black Rock showed us. NotLocke counted on the bomb making them panic and triggering it themselves, which was the only way that it would work.

It should have worked on the plane if he hadn't said anything; Widmore was the one that set it, not him, and no one said Widmore couldn't kill candidates.

Because how would he plausibly not be on the plane when that happened?

You think an explosion could kill him? Monster probably eats explosions for breakfast

Or somehow
he will eventually be able to get to LA X using locke as a medium?
Jack wouldn't have been on the plane. He was very adament about NOT going. The only reason he was able to get them on the Sub is because MiB knew Widmore would be watching it and it would force Jack in. Then, with Kate getting shot, there was no other option. Which is why MiB swapped bags.

Exactly.
Also, it would have been hard to have survivors from a plane exploding mid-air. They can't exactly swim away to safety like they did in the sub. Of course, the irony of that statement does not escape me considering how the Losties got there in the first place.
This was probably the first episode that really made me think
"Holy shit, this thing is ending"
Same here
And it wasn't even the deaths. Just something about the tone of the episode from the very beginning. I think maybe the fact that all of the passengers were in one big group.

Except the flight attendant n the kids, errr if they count anymore.
It's amazing how on TV someone can steal a man's digital watch, and with no soldering iron make the watch count backwards and wire it to a detonator to make a bomb. Macguyver would have been proud.

Also about the watch...the watch he grabbed wasnt it an analogue watch, as in one with a dial but the watch that we see used is digital? Just a little prop snafu I guess.
no i'm pretty sure it was the same watch both times
and considering lostpedia has this as a continuity error and not that, i'm guessing it definitely was
When Jack gets the C-4 out of the backpack, the countdown goes from 3:55 to 3:52. It then beeps 10 times (one beep per second), leading the countdown to 3:42. However, the scene after, the countdown is at 3:45.

That's dumb. It's ONE of the numbers. They should've just played it at 8 PM on Tuesday instead of 9 if they wanted to incorporate one stupid number into the showtime.
I get angry about dumb stuff.
