I really did think that was going to happen; I was wincing and yelling "No, stop you idiots!" at the TV and everything.

Technically, so did those on the beach at the end of the episode. Poor guy. No one cares.

Loved the episode, but had to put aside a lot of "Wait, why didn't they..." questions for it.

 Yeah, we know the ending is going to consist of everybody dieing except one. The only people worth saving from the island are dead now. Though, on that note, I'll burn with the rage of a thousand suns if Desmond doesn't live. Maybe him and Miles can make it. Everybody else is dead for sure now (with Jack being the most obvious choice as the one, but I think they could really misdirect us on that).

Huh? Hurley is pretty much the only one I'd be upset with dying. Rest of them seem to want to die anyhow. At least with their actions.

Prepare yourself then, that will be exactly the reason why he will day. They will think the emotional impact is worth it.

Well yes, Hurley is still cool. But still, the Kwans had a 3 year old daughter back home, loving nottotallyfuckedup relationship (unlike pretty much everybody else on the show), good characters.... they were the ones left who had the most going for them to actually make it back home. With them being killed, there's no fucking way anybody else "on the list" is going to get off the island. There will be the new Jacob, and everybody else dead. Hopefully non-list people may have a chance (again, I'll rage if Desmond doesn't make it), but Miles chances are pretty slim now that he's the only remaining "new guy" not to die.
I can't wait for them to kill Claire.

I can't wait for them to kill Claire. As long as it's during a cat fight with Kate in a mud pit, I'm down.

I agree. I was just talking to a buddy of mine last night about this. The first few seasons were all about a bunch of survivors coming across weird shit. They would occasionally walk across this huge mysterious island, often getting lost, and discovering more and more things that weren't right. Now they are running all over the place in the space of a day and quickly converging to an end. I think it's been like 2 days since they plopped back in modern time right? The pacing of the story is all off.

Not sure if this was discussed already....but according to Lostpedia the names in the cave were:
4 Locke 8 Reyes 15 Ford 16 Jarrah 23 Shephard 42 Kwon
What if #23 is referring to Claire and not Jack? Aren't they technically both Shephard's?

Claire's last name is Littleton. Finding out that you share a biological father does not retroactively change your name.

Kwon is still alive because their kid is alive  Also Kwon is the next Jacob, because she conceived on the island.

If the kid was a candidate, I'm pretty sure she would have had to come to the island with all the others, no?

And considering they have 3 episodes left to somehow magically get her to the island and declare her the new Jacob....NO. Even if they did pull it off somehow everybody would declare it the worst Deus Ex ever and revolt. I mean, the idea itself is actually pretty neat, but only if they had started with that to begin with (IE, bringing the child to the island somehow). There's no way they could pull off that idea at this point.

I'm soooo confused why smokey didn't kill them all before?

Smokey can't kill them himself. Its in the rules that he has to follow for whatever reasons. So he has to bring them to killing each other instead. I suspect thats why he didn't kill Eko the first time. He was still a candidate.

Yeah, they said it in that episode, Smokey can't kill any of the candidates. If they had just let the bomb count to zero, it wouldn't have gone off, like jack said. It required Sawyer trying to defuse it and thus starting off another timer to cause it to go off. I'm assuming that's the reason they're going to use as to why Smokey always chased but never really killed any of the survivors.
Of course, that does mean its going to be pretty hard for him to finish the rest off, now that his carefully laid plans only succeed in killing half of them. Perhaps at the end he'll try to kill them, thus breaking the rules, and get bitch slapped by the island/mystery kid in the process.

He left her at the dock as the strode confidently into the jungle with his gun.  But yeah, your right, that's probably how they'll try to get around it. Which is how Claire will inevitably be killed, thank god.

doesn't anyone else find it ODD that a monster of smoke and evil can fashion such cool explosives?
and with really intricate timers from the back of a digital watch

Well it is a pretty evil thing to be able to do. I just assumed it went with his territory. Being the smoke monster of evil and doom and all.

After everything else you've seen him able to do, you consider it odd that he knows how to make a bomb?

it's odd that he knows all the technical skills he has, yes. Particularly if he's some ancient Egyptian god. Just waiting on the reveal at this point.

He took the bomb from the plane, didn't he? I presumed either Widmore or Ben/Miles/Richard placed the explosives and Smokey just re-purposed them. Setting a timer on an already existing bomb shouldn't be that difficult.
