Trivia:

As Jack is driving to the funeral, listening to "Scentless Apprentice" by Nirvana on his stereo, he is reading the obituary of the person who's funeral he is driving to. The date of death listed on the obit is April 5th, the same date that Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994. It is possibly the first use of a Nirvana song on television since Courtney Love sold 25% of the rights to the Nirvana catalog.

Easily, the best season finale of a series, ever.

Everybody is talking about Lost. At first, I refused to watch it. But when 5 or more friends insisted me to watch, I gave Lost a chance. So far, the best series I had watched was 24, Friends, or The Sopranos. Lost went way beyond that. Every single episode from Lost, is like a mini-movie. The suspense on each, is disconcertingly well-done.

I loved the first season (lots of suspense), I liked the second season (lots of suspense, balanced with action), and on the beginning of the third one, I thought that it wouldn't be as good as the others. I was completely wrong. The finale of the third season, was the best ending I've seen, either on series or motion pictures. When I thought Lost couldn't be more interesting, this unpredictable and genius twist comes.

If you hadn't seen Lost, rent it, borrow it, get it from somewhere. Believe me, you'll be amazed.
