As satisfying as last night was on the level of emotion and character, I don't think one can dispute that it failed to solve some of the significant mysteries which animated the series. Not all of them mattered -- the identity of the others involved in the outrigger chase likely wouldn't help bring added meaning to what happened, but just fill in the answer to a trivia question. But a few questions, I think did need to be answered and weren't. Here's a few:
- What made Walt special? What made Desmond special?
- What were Widmore's motivations this whole time? Were there actual "rules" governing Linus and Widmore, or were they just a fiction they both chose to believe?
- So what did Jughead do? Did it open a portal to SidewaysWorld for these people, or something else?
Below the fold, the alternate endings revealed on Kimmel last night:
