...she's the one who gave her dead husband's boat to Desmond. Different hair style, same gal.
And who, perchance, was her dead husband, David? Ring any bells?
However, I agree with the consensus that the finale was too clever by half. Why would Desmond cooperate in not pushing the button when clearly he knew that there *were* consequences for doing so, et al.
Unfortunately for us viewers, and as any quick read of Season-1 interviews with the show's creators will reveal, "Lost" surprised everyone by its popularity, and there was never any long-term plot schematic. In fact, in answer to the question, "Will they ever be rescued," the answer was, "No, then the show would be over."
Finally, I strongly disagree that Season 1 was "too" slow. Overall, the story arcs and character development that we now appreciate so much were bloody conveyed in that season!
