Season 4 finale of LOST

It was a decent episode considering that 1) we already knew a lot of what was going to happen from all the Season 4 flash-forwards, and 2) the reveal of who was in the coffin was just about the most anti-climactic thing ever since I was 99% sure it was Locke the second Kate said Jeremy Bentham a few moments into the episode.

I really liked how they added on to the scenes from last year's season finale, with Kate slamming on the brakes and coming back, and Jack returning to the funeral home. Also, Desmond and Penny finally being reunited was really nice.

I think if Locke really is dead, and it isn't a trick from Ben (and Locke?) to get everyone to return to the island, then he'll almost certainly be half-dead like Jacob and Christian when his body is returned to the island. Also, since Christian appeared to Michael right before the C4 went off, and also Jin was at the very front of the boat when the C4 went off, I wouldn't be surprised if Jin and possibly others that were on the boat are still alive somewhere, somehow.

And it should be really interesting to see what exactly are the horrible things that took place on the island that Jack said that Locke mentioned. Are these related to Widmore, Abaddon, or someone / something else? And how did Locke get off the island? Did he have to move it again like Ben did in this episode?

Update (6/1/08): According to this article, it appears that I completely misinterpreted the scene with Michael and Christian right before the freighter blew up. Christian's "now you can go" line apparently indicated that Michael had served his purpose and the island would now let him die.
