LOST Season 3 Finale

Update May 31: Season 3 will be coming out on Blu-Ray December 11! Woops, never mind!

**SPOILERS **

Best Moments (will re-order this to be chronological)

1. Charlie sacrifices himself: Emotional moment, I nearly cried! Also, the prophecy of his death was really handled well. We kept guessing to the very end when we finally realize that Des' prophecy will come true exactly as he said.
2. Flashforward! Wow. Love it. The producers have said all along that they know where the story is going and that they aren't making this up as they go. No better way to prove it, in the here and now, than to start showing us the end point. Or specifically, what's after the end point- after they get rescued.
3. Anything Ben says: Although these last few eps have shown cracks in his methods, we can never tell if he's lying or telling the truth. Most remarkably, he's been able to manipulate people by telling them the truth. Amazing.
4. Jack beats Ben to a pulp. Wow. Catharsis baby. That scene could've run a little longer.
5. Penelope: Totally didn't expect her to pop up on that transmission. LOST has trained us to never trust anything, so we never knew if Naomi was the real deal-fine. But Penelope just showing up was exciting. Also, she finds out that Desmond is alive on the island!
6. Hurley saves the day: Nice build-up to his heroism as no one wanted his help.
7. Juliet kisses Jack: SHOCKING!
8. Jack tells Kate "I love you": WOW WOW.
9. Beach Trap for the Others: Felt good our guys finally had the upper hand, if only for a fleeting moment.
10. Sawyer kills Tom: "That was for taking the kid off the raft." Wow. Not condoning what he did, but that moment really put us in the mind of Sawyer. Following, the look on Juliet's face spoke volumes. I think she fully realized what a fine line she is walking by betraying the Others, joining the Jack-camp, yet her true motivations are still in doubt. She must be thinking, "I could end up like Tom."
    
11. Jack tells Kate why he didn't kill Ben: Like Sawyer, this moment really let us into the mind of Jack. On one hand he's the leader and hero of the group, on the other we see how on the edge he is. *shudder*
12. Rousseau meets her daughter: Sweet tender moment.
13. Sayid uses his feet to break neck of an Other: b@d@55!
14. Rousseau, "This is my home now" and Ben, "What do you have to go back to?" both to Jack:

Big Questions
(In no particular order)

1. Who's in the coffin? When Jack is standing next to it, you can tell that it is a small coffin- it wouldn't fit someone his size; therefore is it a child? If we ignore the size, my guess is that Michael, who betrayed his friends, is in the coffin.
2. Who are these people on Naomi's freighter?
3. Does Jack actually see the flashforwards in his mind? Or is it just for the viewers? Likewise for the flashbacks, are the characters actually recalling their past?
4. Has Jack been pretending to cozy up to Juliet to get information out of her?
5. Who's "he" that Kate refers in the final scene?
