I Am So Lost Season 4 Season Finale Recap

I thought the finale was better than I expected, but I still wanted more from Richard Alpert and his group of rebels. I think they, and their new leader, John Locke, will be the major players in next season, along with the struggle of Jack trying to get his friends to go back to the Island. Maybe the producers of the show should spend the summer going through the first four seasons writing down every loose end they have left untied so far…because there are too many to count. It seems like very few questions are ever answered. We are always left with something like, “Oh, he’s dead…but is he really dead?”
Ben with the frozen donkey wheel. Before he moved the Island he said,
"I hope you're happy now, Jacob." And just when you think Ben might finally have
lost control in the show, he pops up at the end, manipulating Jack.
Slurp! The island is gone. Or is it just invisible?
Sawyer returns to the Island after whispering a request to Kate and jumping
from the helicopter. Will he form a relationship with Juliet next season? I do.
John Locke/Jeremy Bentham:
"Shortly before leaving the island, Locke warns Jack that his knowledge of the island and the truth behind his lies will haunt him, and eventually drive him to return to the island. Jack disagrees and leaves the island. However, three years after rescue, Jack meets with Ben at a funeral parlor. Jack tells him that Locke had come to him under the alias Jeremy Bentham and told him that terrible things had happened on the island since his leaving. All of which were Jack's fault for leaving. Some time after giving Jack this information, Locke passes away under his pseudonym and is the man Jack has come to mourn. Feeling this immense guilt for the information Locke has given him, and perhaps for Locke's death directly, Jack tells Kate and later Ben that he has to go back to the island. "
"However, according to Ben, the island will not permit just one of the Oceanic Six to return, all of them must return together, along with Locke's body (and possibly Frank and Desmond). This provides complications as Jack claims that Kate no longer wants to talk to him, Sun blames him for Jin's death, Hurley is "crazy", Sayid is unreachable, and Desmond vowed never to set foot on the island again. " *
The other three
"The Six's description of both Boone and Charlie's deaths are only partly lies. The order in which the three died in reality matches the story. Also, they say Boone died of internal injuries in the first week due to the plane crash. Boone was crushed by a plane, not in the first week, but pretty early on. Also, they said Charlie drowned right before they were rescued, which is a nod to Charlie's drowning in the looking glass as the others found out about the kahana. Libby's story was left mostly untold, likely due to the fact that they couldn't tell the public about her being shot. Why the Six chose to keep these three alive past the crash in their fabricated story remains unknown. " *
Unanswered questions
 Why did they tell the public that Boone, Libby, and Charlie lived past the crash?
Why do several characters feel it is imperative that they return to the Island?
Why will the Island only let them return if they come together?
Jeff “Doc” Jensen from EW.com has his take on some of the characters:
Sawyer sacrificed his spot on Lapidus' chopper to make it lighter to save fuel. But before he jumped into the drink, he tasked Kate to execute an errand for him in the real world — presumably, I think, checking on his daughter, Clementine — and then planted a big kiss on her. And now we know why the ladies love Sawyer. As an added bonus, when he returned to the Island, he emerged from the surf sans shirt. (The yin to this yang: plenty of Kate cleavage shots for the guys.)
Juliet stayed behind to help everyone get to the freighter — then had a front-row seat on the beach to watch it blow up. Last seen chugging rum with shirtless Sawyer. You sense a setup for romance next season?
Faraday was last seen taking a raft of castaways to the freighter when the Island disappeared. Since the smaller Hydra Station island also disappeared, I have to assume that the move extended beyond the Island into the ocean. So I'm betting Faraday got caught up in that.
Jin was last seen on the freighter when it exploded. But if he survived and swam into the circumference of the move, he too could be wherever — or whenever — the Island is now.
Michael the castaway traitor earned his redemption by staying with the bomb. Moments before the blast, however, he heard the Whispers. Looking around, he noticed what appeared to be a videocamera in one corner (was it on?) and the ghost of Christian Shephard in the other. ''You can go now, Michael.'' Then: Boom!
As for Ben, we now know how he wound up in his Dharma parka in the Tunisian desert at the start of ''The Shape of Things to Come'': Apparently, that's where he landed after he moved the Island. The date: October 24, 2005, or about 10 months from when Ben moved the Island. So...where did the Island go? Nowhere. My guess is that it's in the same spot where it's always been — it just rematerialized in reality 10 months in the future, just like Ben.

Are they really going to go 8 months until the next season? I thought 6 months was bad. Maybe they didn’t move the Island…they moved the show to another network…could that be it?
Namaste....
