On the other hand, it meant I got to see Keamy and Mikael again, and I thought they were some of the best characters in the series, so that made me happy. Then I got to see them die (again), and that made me sad. Oh well. Such is life Lost!

I think they are the worst incarnation of the 'flashes' this show has had too. The flashbacks at least give some real history on the characters and what led to them being where they were. The flash fowards were pretty much a part of the main plot since that group was separated from the island. I wouldn't mind them as much if the parts on the island were non stop action and revelation, but they aren't. I really hope the last few episodes don't have any flashes because we need some plot development here.
While the flash sideways might be useless because they're not how things are supposed to happen, I think they're nice in that they bring more justice to the ones who died along the way, like Charlie, Charlotte and especially Alex so far. in Charlie's instance, it's nice to see a different ending to a character that has been built up throughout the seasons. Here's to hoping Ana Lucia and Libby will pop up sooner or later. At this point everything that's happening on the island is so far out there that I care more about the characters. :mog:
