The Lost spoilers here - in a season that had some ups and downs, the finale actually is rousing, and will leave us anxious for the return of the sixteen episode season 4.

'I don't understand you,' said Alice. 'It's dreadfully
confusing!'
'That's the effect of living backwards,' the Queen said kindly:
'it always makes one a little giddy at first--'
'Living backwards!' Alice repeated in great astonishment. 'I
never heard of such a thing!'
'--but there's one great advantage in it, that one's memory
works both ways.'
The Looking Glass is a new undersea Dharma station, which will be introduced. And the final episode is aptly named "Through The Looking Glass", meaning going through the new Looking Glass Station - with inspiration by Lewis Carroll's children's classic sequel to Alice in Wonderland, namely, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Here, in the Lost universe, we will go through the looking glass and see what is there - different rules and the unexpected. In Lewis Carroll's classic, time runs backwards ... makes you think, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
The Lost Spoilers are that everyone's perspective on Lost will change after the end of the Through the Looking Glass finale. It will be game changing - as the inner sanctum at ABC tells us. We know it, and are going to limit some of the details ... maybe ... you'll see.
