Lost season finale spoilers - a Lostie dies & flash forwards to life after the island
Gasp! Someone is dying on the season finale…
This post is full of a ton of spoilers, so don’t read more if you don’t want to be spoiled!!!
But first, from Kristen at E!
I cannot wait to show you the Lost finale exclusive we scored! As I’ve been mentioning for a while now, the finale is nuts—there is at least one death and also that big “game changer”—and… big news! On Wednesday night, after the finale airs on the West Coast, right in this very spot, I will have an exclusive, sit-down, on-camera interview with the deceased Lostie (get ready to weep), plus, a Q&A with show runner Damon Lindelof to try and get to the bottom of what it all means. Make sure you check back Wednesday night or first thing Thursday morning.
Rumor on the blogosphere is that Charlie is the one who will (finally, after multiple near-death experiences) die, and death comes by drowning after a grenade goes off.
We also see what we assume are flashbacks, but they turn out they are flash forwards to life AFTER the island. Both Jack and Kate are in the flashforwards, with Jack screaming to Kate that they need to go back to the island.
Now, how did they get off the island? And did anyone else other than Jack & Kate survive?
WOW.

Copied from another spoiler site
First, the deaths. A bunch of Others get killed when they try to raid the camp. This includes Friendly, who Sawyer shoots in cold blood — and also the other new tough guy Other (I think his name is Price) who gets run over by Hurley in the van.
And Charlie FINALLY dies. Thank god. I’ve always thought he was one of the weaker characters and his death has been threated in so many episodes its about time it finally happened. He unblocks the jamming signal in the underwater station but drowns when Mikhail uses a grenade to blow it up, killing them both. It’s a cool death for Charlie. Maybe cooler than he deserves.
Another big moment is when an old favorite of the show returns. Locke is just about to kill himself in the Dharma grave pit that he fell into after Ben shot him when he hears a voice telling him not to. He looks up to see…WALT!! Walt helps him out of the pit and then disappears. No sign of Michael, and there’s no explanation about where Walt has been or what happened to him or Michael.
Locke then makes it to the Radio Tower — and gets there in time to kill Naomi just before she makes the rescue call. He throws a knife straight into her back. Jack can’t understand what Locke is doing and tells him that he’ll have to shoot him to stop him from making the call himself. Locke threatens to kill Jack, but then backs down.
Jack makes the rescue call — and someone on the other end answers. The story on the island ends with help on the way. Or maybe not. Ben has told Jack that Naomi and her people aren’t who they say they are — and just before he dies, Charlie sees a transmission in the underwater hatch from Desmond’s Penny — who, contrary to what Naomi has said, denies that she knows Naomi at all!!
But the HUGE TWIST of the episode — in fact, probably the huge twist of the entire series — happens in the flashback. They start by showing that Jack is messed up. He’s popping pills and suicidal. The first flashback shows him about to kill himself by jumping off a bridge — only a car accident nearby causes him to stop, and instead of killing himself he finds himself helping the accident victims.
But he keeps spiraling. He sees his ex-wife at the hospital — she’s pregnant with another man’s child. He goes to a funeral of a person that we never discover, but whoever it is, his (or her) death rocks Jack hard. He steals drugs from the hospital and is caught by the new doctor in charge.
And all the time, he’s constantly on the phone desperately trying to contact somebody. And the last scene shows us who…he goes to meet the mystery person, and it’s the last person on earth we would think…it’s KATE!
And it’s now that we realize that for the first time in Lost history, we haven’t been watching a flashback. We’ve been watching a FLASH-FORWARD!
Yep, that’s right. THEY ACTUALLY SHOW THAT JACK AND KATE MAKE IT OFF THE ISLAND. For some reason, this has been the cause of Jack’s spiral. He tells Kate they have to go back to the island. She refuses and drives away. The show finishes with Jack screaming “We have to go back!!”

I really didn’t want to see Charley go. I know that they were going to evendually, but I didn’t think that it was going to be this soon. Who in the world is in the casket that died? Since it really hit Jack hard and Kate not caring then who is it? I think that it is Juliet. The reason why I think that it was her is because the way that Kate reacted when Jack asked if she was going to the funeral. As for flashforward, yea that was what I thought when I seen the fanale. But again who died? I kept on trying to see what the newspaper article said that Jack was holding and couldn’t read it. So does anyone know who died? I am dying to know. Again it was sad to see Charlie go and especially the way he went. What happened to the others and did they get off the island also? There is definitely going to be a love interest for Kate between Jack and Sawyer. What will the show hold for next season???

I thought it was a flash forward, too, but then realized that Jack was originally flying to Sydney to get his fathers body when he crashed on the island. In the flash forwards, he had an argument with the hospital doctor about his issue and told him to go check with his father, implying his father was still alive. Now were really confused.
