Re: Final Candidate!!!
The final candidate is obviously Desmond. Why you ask? Well.....
1) When walking to the Well with Flocke, he was able to see the boy just as Sawyer was also able to who also happens to be a candidate. Richard couldn't see the boy because he is not a candidate. It seems only candidates can see him, whoever he is.
2) Obviously Desmond is not dead, as it would be pointless to bring him back only to die in a well. He will live because Flocke can't kill him since he is a candidate.
So there you have it, Desmond is the final candidate.
Now, who is going to replace Jacob (if anyone will) I would assume it is Jack since it just fits. I couldn't imagine anyone else, and anyone else will be a little disappointing.
