LOST Season 2 Finale

I have to admit at first viewing I was disappointed, but after a second viewing I beginning to appreciate it. Frankly the anticipation was better.

People who were in the hatch before the survivors
Who is Rizinski?
Rizinski-figured out how to hotwire the blast doors, how to make and draw in black light paint on the back of the blast door a map of the dharma stations
Kelvin Inman-The US officer in Desert Storm who taught Sayid how to interrogate people. Turns out he is the guy who found Desmond washed up on the beach and brought him into t he hatch and taught him what to do. He says he signed up on the Dharma initiative. He says his partner Rizinski, who he seems to look up to, killed himself. He wears the protective suit outside of the hatch, but Desmond sees that it has a rip in it and follows him and finds that he takes it off later. The infection/sickness scare is apparently a hoax designed to scare the hatch people to stay in the hatch. Inman seems to be leading Desmond out of the hatch the day Desmond follows him. His pants are ripped and he stands there pretty long to let Desmond see it. Also he says "goodbye." Inman seems amazingly unaware of Desmond following him. But then later that he realized Desmond was following him. Desmond accidently kills Inman and since he isn't in the hatch, the 108 minutes lapse, the hyroglyphics appear on the 108 min countdown board and everything metal starts flying through the room at the wall with the magnetic whatever behind it. This apparently is what causes Oceanic Flt 815 to crash.

Note:the same kind of disorientation that Desmond had on the beach when Inman found him was what Sawyer, Kate, & Jack experienced as a result of the tazer? darts that they were shot with.

We learn on the boat dock that "the others" characters that we know thus far are really named:
Tom=the bearded boat guy (who took Walt & confronted the survivors when they were chasing after Michael)
P or Bea=Ms. Clue (The woman who interrogated Michael about Walt and released Hurley at the boat dock)
The Leader(name as yet unknown)=Henry Gale (now that was a good twist!)

Parting words between Henry Gale and Michael:
follow a compass bearing of 325 and you will be rescued
once you leave you'll never be able to get back here
we're the good guys Michael
Bon voyage Michael (in a James bond villian, your boat is about to explode, kind of way)

Hurley is released to go worn survivors to leave the others alone.
Your friends are coming home with us.

Michael and Hurley both leave with obvious regrets.

Questions we are left with:
Are Locke, Echo, and Desmond dead?
Where are the others taking Jack, Kate, and Sawyer?
Sayid, Jin, & Jun are back on the sail boat. Why didn't Sayid wait around for Jack & the gang?
What is the others real encampment like?
What did they want with Walt?
Why did they let Walt go when Henry Gale told Jack they would never let him go?
Now will the magnetic pressure go off every 108 minutes? (Seems unlikely)
Were the others using the magnetic thing for their power?
Who were the guys on one of the two ice caps who were looking for the magnetic reading?
And why did they call Desmond's girlfriend?
How could she know that that might lead her to Desmond?

There was another Hanso foundation commercial with the website www.hansocareers.com. It had 5 job openings listed that were interesting. It'll be interesting to see what next season brings.
