Well, we’re getting close to the end of the season, and some pretty remarkable plot developments are carrying us along. It has been said that the finale (to be broadcast next week) will be so game-changing that we’ll wonder how the show can continue after it. My guess is that Jack and Eloise and crew will succeed in detonating the bomb, and that’s where they’ll leave us hanging until the Fall, wondering whether that changed the course of history or not. And since someone will have to detonate the bomb, my guess is that we’ll watch Jack “die”, and wonder whether in doing so, he changed history and saved his own life in the process.
If we didn’t already know that there is an actor who is playing Jacob (although perhaps that is a ruse?), I’d guess that Jack, by dying to reset history, could end up as Jacob, trapped as a result in limbo, neither fully alive nor fully dead. Or, in other words, mostly dead…
