Amazing. Great. Fantastic. I'm tearing up (and I have a feeling I'm going to be doing this every week till it ends).

And for all you L O V E haters, get over yourselves. Because that's what L O S T is all about.

A couple weeks ago, after I got a little intel on tonight's episode, I floated the following theory to Damon: "Is it safe to say that at its very core Lost is a love story?"

Damon replied: "You are the very first person ever to get the meaning of the show. Yes. It is a love story. Always has been... always will be."

I tell you this not to brag (Damon's message framed above my mantel does the trick), but because if you are a fan of the show's "Constants"--Desmond and Penny, Charlie and Claire, Sun and Jin, Rose and Bernard, Daniel and Charlotte, Richard and Isabella, etc.--then, like me, those words from Damon just might be the sweetest ones you've ever heard about this series.

Obviously, there will be plenty of other things going on in Lost's final episodes: What happens to the Man in Black, the island, Jacob, etc. But after tonight's episode, I think we can safely assume why the actors and producers keep saying that the end of Lost will be "emotional"--and why Carlton Cuse told us "If it matters to our characters, it matters to us"--because a huge driving force in the end is whether the Losties will reconnect with the people they love…or not.

And now I'm gonna be smug, because I figured that out a while back. Just like real life, sci fi and action sequences and cheap visceral thrills are secondary to the real reason we're all on this planet. :loveya:

Yeah, flame away. I don't care. I'm right and you're wrong nyeah nyeah nyeah nyeah. :P
