Lost Season 4 Finale

SPOILERS.

No time, so just a few things off the top of my head:

The phone call Kate received... Sounded like the person on the other end was speaking in reverse. I'll look forward to hearing that when some industrious young fan turns it around.

I don't think that was a visitation from Claire, just a dream. When she spoke, she spoke with Kate's voice.

I wonder if they tried to get Adewale back for a Mr Eko cameo... (Still, it was pretty effective as an empty chair.)

If we had seen into that coffin at the end of last season, I really don't think it would've been Locke in there. So I guess it's good we didn't see into that coffin at the end of last season!

Something tells me we won't be seeing much, if any, of the island until they get back... presumably at the end of next season. That'll be frustrating, given all the "bad things" that happened.

BTW, I thought Michael Emerson was seen in London, too, but he didn't appear in the scene with Sun and Widmore. Maybe he was watching... Should be interesting to see if Sun has truly joined forces with Widmore, or whether she's playing him. She certainly seemed on the up-and-up -- and she'd make a brilliant villain.

ETA: Oh, and that truly *was* "a kiss that stops time," as Cuse or Lindelof predicted. *sigh* Hope that's not the last we see of Des and Penny. (The Sawyer-Kate kiss was also pretty spectacular.)
