Oh. My. Gods.

Spoilers for last night's Lost ahead.

I didn't think that Lost could ever possibly match the jaw-dropping response of "But... but... but that changes everything!" that Season Three's finale prompted when Kate stepped out of the shadows to confront Jack at the airport, but last night's episode certainly came very close. We now know that it's a completely different game than we thought it to be, and then a bomb goes off in the final seconds and we realize that we actually know next-to-nothing about what comes next! Will it all start over? Is any dead character from the first five seasons now just as likely to be back among the living? Will what happened to Jacob be undone by that final scene? Will the castaways still remember what happened in the original timeline (assuming they find themselves in a new one)? And is free will going to prevail against destiny, or the other way around?

This show continues to reward its geek viewers in bigger and better ways every season, and if Season Six somehow manages to top this year's slate of episodes, then we may all just die from too much gratification by the time it's all over! And just think... only eight short months to wait until we start finding out!

Tammy: This would be Juliet, who with her dying breath and through excruciating pain managed to detonate the bomb and possibly save the day? That Juliet?

Sheesh, you're cold...
