The most important message in this week's lost

Not the best lost episode, no way, hopefully that is the finale, I mean I hope they saved every last bit of artistic excellence within them for the last one. I know if I push myself to my limits I can move the world with my creations.

Anyway, enough showboating though my talents are extraordinary, this episode was great not because of the violence or nothing, but because of jacob. Having been in the military, met the people in charge of millions of dollars worth of nuclear weapons, seeing them stumble over themselves from time to time, or make very human errors, its become clear to me that it's essential never to forget that no one is perfect. Not even mr. jacob himself, the man who up until now everyone on lost thought was a million miles ahead and knew exactly what he was doing. Though very smart, wise, etc. he admits the only reason he brought them to the island is because they're just as fucked up and human as him.

That's a good leader right there, one who isn't afraid to admit he himself doesn't have all teh answers. All he can do is hope, perhaps pray, that he's making the right decisions.

That's how I get through life anyway.
