Tonight's episode of Lost really pushed a lot of buttons, including a brief reference to the second season version of precisely that! I had to think that semi-conscious Locke's "must push the button" delirium was inserted to remind us of the confusion and back-and-forth debate that developed in Season Two around that every-108-minute duty: should they or shouldn't they? In tonight's episode, that was echoed by the scene with the C4 countdown (to pull the wires or not to pull them), but also at a higher level: which reality (Island or mainland version) should we really care about? It's been assumed by most of us all season long that it's the Island universe that matters, but now that the grim reaper is riding roughshod through it we have to wonder if maybe we've emotionally backed the wrong horse. Is the so-called "sideways world" the one where our favourite characters are going to live happily after?
Great episodes are the ones that really make you think... and tonight's "The Candidate" will likely be discussed and dissected for a long time to come!

I was trying not to get invested in the sideways universe....just figuring it was going to implode! Yikes...I'm so conflicted.
