6x13 - "The Last Recruit" Island

1. So Christian Shepherd was the monster? Then why did he refer to Jack as his son when he was in Christian's form? Furthermore, was that the monster that appeared to Jack in "Something Nice Back Home," or was that truly the ghost of Christian Shepherd?

2. How is it that hearing Locke's word means instant allegiance? According to Jacob, there's still a concept of free will. Everyone has to make a choice.

3. How is Widmore able to firebomb the Island? Why would he for that matter? If the Island is destroyed, wouldn't that enable Locke to leave the Island?

4. So this time, Sawyer and Kate get on the boat together. Unlike near the end of season one where they were fighting for a spot on the raft.

5. If Locke wanted Desmond dead, why didn't he kill himself? Is Desmond a candidate, unable to be killed by the Monster?

6. So Sayid's not completely souless if he was able to spare Desmond? And who or what exactly brought Sayid back to life?

7. How exactly did Locke find the Elizabeth? The last we ever saw of it, Ben's people commandeered it, and it was presumably taken to Hydra Island.

8. In contrast to, "There's No Place Like Home," Jack is the one who jumps off into the ocean instead of Sawyer.

9. At long last, Sun and Jin are reunited.

10. The sound Jack hears when the bombs drop is similar to what Charlie hears in "Live Together, Die Alone."
