Lost, Season 6  Season 6: Desmond for President

Gentlemen, by the time I was done shaking the hand of last
night's episode, I nearly fainted. I've largely been pleased
with this season, but I wasn't prepared for "Happily Ever
After." It felt like my first sip of McCutcheon scotch after a
long life of drinking Famous Grouse. I most definitely "felt it"
this week.  Last night's episode was the final element of what
is arguably Lost's finest triptych: Desmond's journey through
time. Season 3's "Flashes Before Your Eyes" told us that Desmond
was special—maybe too special for love. But then Season 4's "The
Constant," explained how true love is even more special than
time travel. And now Season 6's "Happily Ever After" has
asserted that Desmond and Penny's love (and Charlotte and
Faraday's, and Charlie and Claire's) is so special that it's
timeless.   Having seen all three of these episodes, I wonder
whether Lost isn't only about destiny but also about love
