I'm definitely on the "This season finale sucked" bandwagon, mostly because there's no way that wasn't an alternate timeline in the future. If it WASN'T an alternate timeline, then the writers have to write something horribly convoluted and ENTIRELY out of the realm of feasibility for it to come true. Kate would have been arrested, Jack's dad is DEAD, and probably Locke ended up in the casket.
And part of it was the way Charlie died. I just don't get it. His "death" was entirely needless. Why not just open the door after the explosion? That made NO sense whatsoever -- unless Charlie isn't actually going to die. My theory is that, somehow, he'll pull a Mikhail and come back to life. And Desmond didn't hear Mikhail get up and grab a grenade? Bullshit.
Oh well. I won't really speculate too much about next season, but that finale really sucked for me.
