... to the Crocodile Rock.

As far as season finales go, this was pretty solid.

You can never be completely happy with a show that leaves you for at least seven months with a cliffhanger the size of an atomic bomb, but you can’t knock the drama those two hours contained.

In this episode we saw:

• Egyptian deities
• Sailing ships
• Gun violence
• Electromagnetism
• A killer fist fight
• A stabbing
• … and, most important, we saw Jacob.

What does this mean for our dear friends on the island, scattered through time? It means there will be a lot of explanations, but their enemy now is bigger than a mysterious light in a hatch, a group of armed mountain men, a group of armed members of a pseudo-religious semi-cult or a group of armed mercenaries.

We aren’t sure exactly what they’re dealing with, but it’s here — and it might look like dear old John Locke.

SPOILERS AND PREDICTIONS AHEAD.

Here’s the synopsis of Wednesday’s finale event — called “The Incident” — from ABC.com:

Jack’s decision to set things right on the island is met with some strong resistance by those close to him, and Locke assigns Ben a difficult task.

How strong is that resistance? I’d bet it’s gunfire strong.

How difficult is that task? I’d bet it involves killing an invisible man who shift in and out of existence in a jungle-style Baba Yaga cabin.

Looks like a great finale event to me. Need to catch up? Check out ABC’s very cool “Lost” timeline.
