This post is simply a list of clues given in the LOST season finale version that aired tonight, which had added \u201csubtitles\u201d that give additional information, attract attention to details, make connection and remind:<\/p>\n

There is a focus on mirror opposites<\/i> in the series as a whole, and no less in this episode named after Lewis Carroll\u2019s Through the Looking Glass<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Jack was calling someone in Los Angeles\u2019 310 area code.<\/p>\n

The subtitles said that \u201ca popular theory\u201d about the person in the coffin is that it was a man from LA who was found dead in New York. This is so non-committal that it could be interpreted as a denial\u2026but maybe that what they want<\/i> us to think.<\/p>\n

An Easter Egg: Gary Nadler has the same last name as Bernard.<\/p>\n

In the Looking Glass station, Charlie has a song idea. The words are from a poem by Dominic Monaghan.<\/p>\n

When Locke heard Jacob\u2019s voice, Ben realized Locke is special and his primacy is threatened thereby.<\/p>\n

Jack is following in his father\u2019s footsteps. <\/p>\n

Jack and Locke both consider committing suicide. Mirror opposites. <\/p>\n

Ben and Jack, we are told, have more in common than we might think: both are leaders who make the hard decisions.<\/p>\n

There were no<\/i> subtitles when Jack proposed getting his father down to see which of them was more drunk.<\/p>\n

On Ben\u2019s map there is a place called Pascal Flats, which might be named after Blaise Pascal, who we are told abandoned science for theology after a mystical experience.<\/p>\n

On his way to the funeral (actually a \u201cviewing\u201d, as it turns out), Jack is listening to Nirvana\u2019s \u201cScentless Apprentice\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jack tells Tom that he\u2019s going to get everyone else rescued, and then he\u2019s going to find Tom and kill him. Is this a mere threat, or is escaping the island in fact not the priority for Jack that we might assume?<\/p>\n

When Hurley says he\u2019s saved Bernard, Sayid and Jin, the subtitles say it is a happy moment, but on this island things aren\u2019t always what they seem.<\/p>\n

The survivors (based on Danielle\u2019s signal) have been on the island for 91 days. Before it was used to broadcast her message, the radio tower broadcast the famous series of numbers.<\/p>\n

The showdown between Jack and Locke is described as a man of science vs. a man of faith.<\/p>\n

Minkowski (on the satellite phone) doesn\u2019t confirm that he\u2019s on a boat in the vicinity.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re told when we move to Jack drinking in his home that this is taking us from the island to the \u201cother side of the Looking Glass\u201d where Jack is very clearly \u201ca changed man\u201d.<\/p>\n

From the commercial for tomorrow\u2019s season premiere: Someone from Naomi\u2019s people arrives and says that rescuring the Oceanic survivors isn\u2019t their primary objective. John Locke, in another clip, says that whatever they are here for, \u201cit\u2019s not us\u201d.<\/p>\n

A question: Are the flash forwards Desmond\u2019s visions? Are they inevitable? We\u2019re asked at one point to consider the ongoing question: are we dealing with fate or coincidence?<\/p>\n
