So I've been watching through the series again gradually since the finale. It's been pretty awesome. It's a totally new experience really.
I'm pretty amazed at how clearly crafted some of the revelations of season six are.
I was just watching the episode where Mr. Eko dies, and it's obvious that The Smoke Monster is an intelligent being with an agenda, who can imitate the dead. It's all but told. I don't know how everyone didn't notice this clue, but as something that wasn't revealed until season six I was pretty impressed by this. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.
Seriously, if you can watch that episode you'll know what I'm talking about.
All of the stuff that comes afterwards with the cabin, Christian, and the events leading up to the loophole are definitely coordinated.
There have been a lot of other things too, like The Others being "the good guys", and the importance of the candidates.
I always thought it was way more planned out than some people gave credit for, but I always felt that it was perfectly natural and obvious that some parts were made up as it went along. And a lot were, but I'm pretty sure there were major decisions made as early as season 2 that carried over until the end.
Still have no clue why people are so hung up on Walt. Upon watching Season 2 again, it's even more ridiculous to me. They flat out adress the fact that he's special, but The Others want him because he's an innocent. They have no problems letting him go in exchange for Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley.
Completely overblown "loose end."
