In the final part of the season finale, we catch our first proper glimpse of the smoke monster, followed soon after by an even better look, although we still have no idea what we are looking at. Jack, Kate, and Hurley\u00a0run at the sound it makes, but Locke goes closer, and soon finds himself being dragged towards and then into a hole in the ground. Jack and Kate throw in a stick of dynamite to free him. The sound of the smoke monster is distinctly mechanical in character, reminiscent of the chain lift on a roller coaster. When Jack asks Locke to explain why he told him to let him go when he was being pulled down the hole. Locke says that he doesn\u2019t think that he would have been killed \u2013 but rather, he was being tested. Locke says, \u201cWe were brought here for a purpose\u2026Each one of us was brought here for a reason.\u201d When Jack asks who brought them here, Locke says the island. When Jack\u00a0asks Locke if he talked with\u00a0Boone about these things, Locke says Boone was the sacrifice the island demanded. Jack says he doesn\u2019t believe in destiny. Locke responds, \u201cYes you do, you just don\u2019t know it yet.\u201d Later, Jack tells Kate that they are going to have a \u201cLocke problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

In a comical flashback, Hurley runs to catch his flight. On the island, Hurley is muttering the numbers as they walk through the jungle in the dark. Later, when they are going to blow open the hatch, Hurley spots the numbers on the hatch, and tries to stop them blowing it open, shouting \u201cThe numbers are bad!\u201d But they\u00a0blow the lid off the hatch nonetheless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Sayid and Charlie find Danielle. She had wanted to trade Aaron for her Alex. She says she heard the others whispering, saying they were coming for the boy. With hindsight, we realize this was a reference to Walt. Back at camp, we see that Charlie took a virgin Mary statue with heroin in it from the crashed smugglers\u2019 plane.<\/p>\n

On the boat, Sawyer talks at one point about Michael having the patience of a saint. Towards the end of the episode, we think they have been rescued, and the music is misleadingly hopeful \u2013 it turns out it is the \u201cOthers\u201d who have come to\u00a0take Walt, and before leaving with him they\u00a0blow up the raft.<\/p>\n

I think it is safe to say that the first season of LOST was fantastic television, raising fascinating questions about the nature of fate and destiny, weaving interesting mysteries, and leaving us wanting more.<\/p>\n
