the first 2 mins is a replay of the final minutes of last years finale, then it shows you what happens after the bomb goes off.

I'd normally use spoilers, but this is a thread about a current season of a TV show so discussions of up-to-date stuff are expected.
Anyhow, why was Desmond on the plane? If the island was underwater then obviously he wouldn't have ended up on the island earlier and wouldn't be sitting there in front of the 386 PC and causing the plane to crash at that moment. So what caused him to end up on that flight? |

I guess Desmond was there because the island was underwater for last 30 years. He didn't sail to it, he sailed over it and on to Australia, where after doing whatever he did there he caught a flight back to America.
How is Jacob being in Sayed's body any different to his mate being in Locks? Jacob allowed Ben to kill him, because he knew it would happen (or couldn't stop it) which is why Hurley was travelling across the world with the note to say give Sayed a bath or Jacob will be angry. Sayed needed to be in place for him to re-incarnate |

Who plays the crazy looking guy with the glasses? The one at the temple, who was acting as an interpreter for the badass samurai ninja guy. He looks really familiar but I can't remember what I've seen him in before and its been bugging me all day.

The interviewer says there are SPOILERS, but for people who have seen the first ep, its really just more of an explanation of what might be happening throughout the season. You know the writers never give much away. |

I think the plane ride was as per usual up to the point of turbulence. I think the parallel universe began mid flight (eg when the episode began). Christian Sheppards coffin was on the the manifest which means it was probably loaded into the cargo hold and disappeared from the plane when the timeline split became parallel.
Also, Desmond only showed up when Charlie got into trouble in the toilet, but vanished once Jack revived him. I think this has alot to do with Charlie's destiny. Also, in the first ep when Locke (Smokey) tells Ben to go get Richard...the is a scene with Frank Leppedis and Sun...while they are talking, Richard is talking with one of Illyana's men in the back ground...crank up the volume and you will here him ask Richard, "How long have you been working with him?" and Richard replies, "About a million years or so" It's hard to hear but definitely said and confirmed on the Lostpedia site. Also, Jacob in Sayid ftw. Bet Smokey is taking Richard to the temple gates to try to sneak his way in (by way of forcing Richard to do a secret knock or some s***). I'd love to see Locke and Sayid transform into smoke forms and battle it out. Also, I mention in another thread that we will get to see Richards feet at some point. It was confirmed again on Lostpedia...but that is all that is said about it. I'm guessing he will have four toes. |

Sorry, I was implying that I think that everything changed mid flight. Shannon boarded the plane, Hurley was unlucky, Desmond didn't board the plane in Australia. I'm theorizing that after JugHead exploded and history was changed, the timeline for the passengers changed in an instant. Shannon disappeared and Boone's recollection of history had changed. Hurley's history changed also and Desmond seemingly appeared out of nowhere (I realize that he told Jack that his seating companion was snoring) but it doesn't really rule out that he could have instantly appeared on the plane as the bomb went off...especially considering his vanishing act after Charlie's destiny was changed (note: I also realise he could have gone to sit somewhere else on the plane, but this is Lost and just about every scene is significant) And Jack had that dejavu look on his face like he knew he just had a life altering moment.

i think the alt timeline is what leads up to the events that are occuring on the island right now, basically.
and the whole thing is a loop where jacob can never die he knows this. he didnt even try to defend himself claires gonna give birth to her baby at the middle or end of the season and name it "jacob" and richard was a slave on the black rock ship.

^ The Black Rock pirate ship was the first thing I thought of when I heard about the chains, but Richard did say he has been working with 'him' (I assume Jacob) for about a million years - and I would imagine that time was spent on the island. Also the spoiler about his feet indicates that he might have four toes. Which could mean he is Tawaret the God of Fertility or at least related to it. The reference to chains might mean something else. I just can't see Richard being a slave on the ship.
On that note, I wonder if the failing birth rate came into play when the statue was broken. last edited by Auz_Guy at 16:37:54 07/Feb/10 |

^fair calls.
i do belive that the monster is an alien. i used to be a x files fan ....and on theback of the magazine the black chicks reading on the plane it says "the truth is out there" and an add for Morley cigarettes...which was what the cigarette smoking man smoked ...hints that he could be an alien but i dunno. ithink it would be dope if he was an alien as long as they didnt f*** it up in how they bought that angle across. |

Sorry, I was implying that I think that everything changed mid flight. Shannon boarded the plane, Hurley was unlucky, Desmond didn't board the plane in Australia. Id agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that Desmond has the uncontrollable ability to time travel, i think he magically appeared on the plan and played a small part in an event that we are yet to full understand and then he magically disappeared... it may have something to do with charlie.. considering that Desmond has time traveled into charlies life a few times... but we will see. |

Wasn't Desmond's time traveling through his own life period? He flashed backwards or forwards in himself in places/times he'd been before, etc, he never actually moved his own body through time.

Groganus, not sure if you read my post properly. Your theory on Desmond is exactly what I was talking about. I think he did magically appear and disappear from the plane right after the turbulence.
Also, if this is true, it will be the first time that Desmond has physically time traveled. All the other times he was flashing into his past and flashing into Charlie's future, he was only mentally time traveling. When he flashed to his past, he was actually sitting in the plane heading for the freighter and it appeared that he had blacked out. When they got to the freighter, they found that guy in the infirmary who was mentally time traveling too. He was flashing to a carnival within his mind but his body remained in the infirmary. |

wouldn't be sitting there in front of the 386 PC it was an Apple ][e (2e) did anyone else find it odd that a guy who could magically solder up and old early 80's computer after if was shot up couldn't come up with a simple way to punch in a series of numbers automagically? surely that's be like a few lines of code - maybe a few more if it ran in old Basic |

Just curious, was it Horus that said "help me" to Locke in the cabin ages ago? I can't remember if the later episodes "answered" it or not.
Shame they couldn't get anymore old cast members for them leaving the plane, like Eko, Nikki, Libby, Anna Lucia, Paulo, Michael, Shannon, Nathan etc. edit: Wish I found this Page before finding these names a longer way :P 815 Passenger Wiki last edited by The GuVna at 18:58:46 07/Feb/10 |

Yea, Eko is apparently making a reappearance as well as Walt. Producers said that the actor who played Libby was offered 3x her original pay packet to return, but she declined due to sand in her vagina about being killed off so early. They have also said that her character is vital to the storyline and some things may be left unanswered because of her refusal to rejoin the cast.
So just to recap a bit about Libby: She was Hurley's fling on the island. She was also in the Santa Rosa Mental hospital with Hurley, although he didn't know her then. She was the one who gave Desmond the boat enabling him to join the race that led him to the island. Her dead husband's name was David and he was a philanthropist. (Hurley's imaginary friend was named Dave - and Hurley can see dead people) Also, I believe it was Christian Sheppard who was asking Locke for help in the cabin. After Jacob left the cabin, Christian took up residence. Note - Christian Sheppard was either animated or impersonated by Smokey. |

The line of black sand/ash surrounding the cabin was a broken line by the time Locke and Ben first went there. I'm guessing the broken line meant Smokey could come and go as he pleased....prolly also the reason Jacob went to stay in the staue again.

Desmond didn't travel through time, only his conscious did. His mind went back and forth between himself in the past and future. His body was just collapsing on the ground in the time period he wasn't experiencing at the time. You see them trying to wake him up when he comes to in the present.

I reckon the writers have just tried to purposely lead us astray re Desmond. If the basic idea of this altered timeline is that a) the island is underwater for whatever reason and b) as such the plane doesn't crash onto it, it also stands to reason that Desmond never crashed on the island. As such, he could have been doing anything at all; but I think they've already hinted that something draws the people on the plane together? So if Desmond hadn't crashed on the island (which he doesnt in the altered timeline), he is instead drawn to flight 815 like the rest of them. |

I posted this theory in another thread, but I'll recap because we have new info. If it turns out to be true then I suppose it would be a SPOILER.
Two rocks, one black & one white, were found amongst the belongings of 'Adam & Eve' in the caves. Jack supposed the bodies had been dead for 50 yrs or so. The same rocks were on Desmond's coffee table when he did his first mental flash (he flashed to a time he was painting his apartment). I think Adam & Eve are Desmond & Penny. I think they will return to the island with their little boy Charlie. With all the confusion of time traveling, I think they they will find them selves in 1940 or so. They named their boy after Charlie who sacraficed his life in the Hydra station to get a msg to Penny. I think that after they die in the caves, little Charlie is left abandoned on the island to fend for himself until such time as the Hostiles (Richards crew) takes him under their wing. This theory says that little Charlie Widmore grows up to become big Charles Widmore. Crazy, I know... Charles eventually catches up with his mother Penny (maybe from a parallel time line - dunno) and rather than freak her out by telling her that he is in fact her son, he tells her that she is his daughter. It would explain why Widmore (a guy who has heaps of power and thugs to do his bidding) didn't have Desmond offed from the start and also why he turned up at the hospital after Ben shot Desmond to ask if he was alright. I may have overlooked some paradoxes, but time travel stories are like that. Also, as the show winds up, new information may come up to cover any obvious paradoxes. |

she still sounded australian to me I wouldnt have noticed the accent if i didnt just watch that "previously on" episode they just had on 7-2, her accent was heaps stronger in the early episodes. Semi forgot she was jacks sister too at the end when Japanese guy goes "your sister", seriously why wouldn't he just say "claire", the whole episode was like that though, trying to be all mysterious and vague, pretty annoying, just wanted Jack to start slapping that c*** and tell him to make sense. |

Ten months after the crash, Jack delivers a eulogy at his father's memorial service. He expresses remorse over not having his body present, saying he loved his father. After the ceremony, Carole Littleton (Claire's mum) approaches him. She explains her story, revealing to Jack that Claire - whom she believes he never met - was his half-sister and was also on the plane. Jack is obviously shaken at the news. Carole then approaches Kate, complimenting Aaron, unaware that he's her grandson.

re: claires accent.
it does sound like she calls the baby 'erin' rather than aaron. true that not much happened plot wise in ep 3, but thats how this show works. most times, in hindsight, these type of episodes are the most important. |

Just watched the new ep, pretty awesome! Though I have to wonder, did they (as in, the writers) really have this planned out from the start? I mean right back in season 1 when the numbers first came up, did they really know what the numbers were going to mean? Cos it still makes no sense why those numbers were etched on the hatch, or why they needed to be entered into the computer. Sure, it makes for a pretty awesome reveal, with the numbers being part of Jacob's plan and representing the survivors, but I still find it hard to swallow that this was the idea all along.

i took the numbers beside the names as meaning what order he met each person. locke was the 4th person, jack the 8th etc. or maybe he just numbered all the people on the the flight.

The last time we saw Desmond he was lying in a hospital bed with Penny by his side (after Ben shot him at the marina). Penny gets a visit from Eloise Hawkings and she admits that Desmond's situation is ultimately her son, Daniel Faraday's fault. When Eloise walks out of the hospital she is met by Charles Widmore. He asks if he (Desmond) is ok. Elosise says that he should go see for himself and mentions that his daughter is there. Charles says that he gave up his relationship with his daughter along time ago. Eloise says he knows nothing about sacrifice, because she had lost her son, Daniel. Then Widmore says something about that not being fair because Daniel is his son too.
Don't know if it means a great deal, but Sheppard's number in the cave is 23, as was Jack's seat number on the plane. Also, the cave inscription doesn't indicate whether it is Jack Sheppard or Christian Sheppard....just 23 Sheppard. I wonder what Illyana will use the WHITE ashes of Jacob for. |

Yea true rav.
Hey. when we first saw Miles do his 'ghostbuster' thing. He was at an old black woman's house. I assumed it was Walt's Grandmother's house, because after Miles spoke to the spirit, he found the heroin in the wall cavity and it was the same packaging as Charlie's gear. So, was it actually confirmed that it was Walt he was speaking to? Wonder when he dies...and how that scene fits into the timeline. May have mentioned this before, but in that scene, when Miles is returning to the living room from up stairs..he stops and looks at the photos on the wall. Every photo and photo frame had changed into modern frames and photos. They were completely different on his way up the stairs. I'm thinking Miles is seeing 2 different timelines at once. Maybe he's not so much talking to the dead, but talking to the occupants of the other timeline. Maybe Hurley is in the same boat on that one. There has been a few occasions where the environment around Hurley has completely changed (eg, photo of him with his imaginary friend (dave) and the scene where Anna Lucia pulls him over with the unconscious Sayid next to him). last edited by Auz_Guy at 23:29:10 18/Feb/10 |

I haven't watched the latest episode yet, so maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think he did know how to get back to the island, cos he didn't know where it was, at least until at the end of season 2 when desmond let the hatch explode. Remember there was those dudes in the snow who were monitoring stuff and saw the explosion? I always figured either those guys were working for Charles Widmore, or he had his daughter's phones bugged or something, and that was when he got the info on where the island was so he could send his freighter full of thugs.

I always figured either those guys were working for Charles Widmore, or he had his daughter's phones bugged or something, and that was when he got the info on where the island was so he could send his freighter full of thugs. those guys were working for penny, she was trying to find the island to find desmond. also super interesting reveal in the latest ep is that ben linus and his dad, in this other timeline did indeed visit the island. But now im confused in the fact that its deep underwater, what the hell happened? |

it was eloise hawkings who told jack and ben that locke had to come back to the island dead, correct? so is it just coincidence that smokey has found his body and re-animated it, or was that always meant to happen which would mean that eloise hawkings is bad??? because it needed to be lockes body to get everyone to believe him, coz he was supposed to be the next leader etc |

But now im confused in the fact that its deep underwater, what the hell happened? Yah I think at first we were meant to think the nuke sank the island. But if the timelines split because of the nuke then the Linus' left the island after 1977 without ever knowing anything about it sinking (or they wouldn't be wondering what would have happened if they stayed). So the island must have sank at some point between 1977 and 2004. I'm guessing we won't know what happened till the finale. Probably Jack's fault. it was eloise hawkings who told jack and ben that locke had to come back to the island dead, correct? so is it just coincidence that smokey has found his body and re-animated it, or was that always meant to happen which would mean that eloise hawkings is bad??? because it needed to be lockes body to get everyone to believe him, coz he was supposed to be the next leader etc Maybe, but not necessarily. Smokey said "You have no idea what I had to go through to get here!", and I think we will discover a LOT of people have been manipulated, and a lot of the events of the series were his doing. I have a theory that Jacob brought Dharma to the island, probably to build that hatch, as part of some ploy to prevent Smokey from being able to do something or other. Smokey manipulated the button pushers to stop pushing the button and get rid of the hatch for some reason. He also would have manipulated Widmore and Ben to wipe out the Dharma initiative. |

charles widmore "if youre not back on the island when the war comes, the wrong side is going to win"
does this mean, that if he doesnt kill himself and anti jacob reanimate his corpse, the wrong side (i.e jacob jack hurley etc) will win this makes charles widmore truely bad? i agree thermite, but IMHO, the way lost has been played out over the years, if they use the excuse "jacob and anti jacob basically manipulated everyone to do this and that and THAT explains the whole storyline" its a bit of a sucker ending.. i honestly have no real theory/explanation of how this show is going to end, im not even reading any forums about it except for this one, im just watching the show week to week, taking it for face value and trying to nut it out myself. last edited by existence at 17:27:24 12/Mar/10 |

Don't worry I always read spoilers for the next ep and the rate at which the spoilers are true is about 1 in 5. And even then people suspect it was just a good guess based on the casting calls for the episode.

charles widmore "if youre not back on the island when the war comes, the wrong side is going to win" No I think Widmore genuinely was trying to keep Locke alive. When Locke told him that Richard said he had to die, Widmore insisted that wasn't true. if they use the excuse "jacob and anti jacob basically manipulated everyone to do this and that and THAT explains the whole storyline" its a bit of a sucker ending.. That would be somewhat of a cop out, I guess. |

those guys were working for penny, she was trying to find the island to find desmond. But how did penny even know to look for an island? She knew nothing about the island, or that it was full of electromagnetic weirdness, she would have had no idea what to look for. I reckon either those guys worked for Widmore and he was keeping his daughter in the loop, like he was selling her the whole "I'll help you find desmond" type of thing, but really just wanted to find the island himself. Or if they were really working for penny, then I reckon charles would have known about it, cos hes too smooth to not know about f***ing EVERYTHING thats going on, so he would have had a man on the inside or a bug or something, and got that info when penny got it. |

Anyone else notice how Locke's ears are slightly bigger since he's come back as smokey? Wonder if it has anything to do with ancient Egyptians and cats?

Hmm so nobody has read my theory? I think it will blow your mind.
Spoiler: Claire's baby, Aaron, gets raised wrong, and grows up to become evil. At some point he will travel into the past. Aaron becomes the smoke monster (I'm not sure how, but I bet there is a sci-fi explanation for it). The alternate reality Aaron is raised correctly, however, and he crosses over into our reality, and he becomes Jacob. His powers and ability to influence others are largely due to the fact that he is from a different universe and there is some sort of paradox at play. There has been way too much importance placed on Aaron in the series, and the ideas about 'bad twins' and kids that gain special powers. That and all the stuff about the importance of proper mothering, and the nature of good and evil. Now that we are getting more insight into Fake Locke's character, like with him raging at Claire, it seems more and more likely that she is his mother. It would be an immensely impersonal story if the most important characters on the show were unrelated to the story of the main characters. What I mean by that is that Jacob and his nemesis seem like 11th hour additions to the story, and that is very awkward, and they must tie into the show in terms of the characters we know, and the recurring themes that have been there all along. You don't just bring in a new characters in the last season that are secretly responsible for everything - they must have been in the show all along. The show is totally character-driven and it doesn't make sense for Jacob and Smokie to be random strangers. This theory makes Christian Shepherd the grandfather of both men, Jack the half-uncle of both men, and Kate the adoptive mother of the show's bad-guy. |

Nice work Thermite, I was theorizing with a mate today
about the possibility of Smokeys crazy mother being in fact the crazy Claire. Highlight of ep was the epic bitch slap she receives from Smokey. That put a stop to her s***house acting for a few scenes. So anyone notice the thing with Sawyer in this latest ep? We find out he's a detective and he ends up catching Kate at the end of the ep. But in the first ep of this season when he is coming out of the elevator at the airport, he notices Kate beside him wearing handcuffs and he helps her escape by providing cover. That's weird. |

Thats stupid, he is the one that made her crazy in the first place. That is a pretty good point. Spoiler: So maybe another kid ends up being smokie, and he tries to make Jacob/Aaron's mother Claire just as crazy as his own mother, so he becomes evil too. Or smokie just wants to ensure he will become the evil bastard he is. last edited by thermite at 23:38:34 18/Mar/10 |

Spoiler: Spoiler: They haven't just dropped characters in, jacob has been around since season 2 or 3... (ben has always gone on about him) and the smoke monster has been around since first ep.. Sure they have changed the characters.. but they have been contributing to to the story for quite some time... it's hardly like they have just dropped them on us hoping we would chew it up as an explanation. |

I am aware of that groganus, I know this show quite well, but I still stand by what I said. They are new characters, at least from a certain storytelling perspective.
Also this cork island plug idea is straight out of Joseph Campbell's "Hero with a thousand faces". He even mentions an island as one idea to have a sort of nexus between two worlds - the Axis Mundi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_mundi So .... we have a monomyth on our hands! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_with_a_Thousand_Faces |

Disappointed with the ep.
When Richards age is emphasized by Ben as being "very very old", I thought he'd be more than just a hundred odd years old. I kinda wanted him to be ancient. Also, the Black Rock ship crashing into the top of the statue...wtf...does anyone else feel cheated in that scene? Would have been good to actually see a tsunami lifting the boat 100 mtrs (or so) into the air to crash into the concrete statue and land somewhere in the middle of the island in tact (for the most part). I remember seeing the ship come to the island at the start of the season on calm waters in the morning. I wonder how many times it has come to the island. Also, Man in Black (smokey) tells Richard where the statue is and says that Jacob is there. These are the two characters from earlier in the season (Richard and Locke (smokey)) that are approaching the statue to kill Jacob. Richard asks Locke "What's with the statue?", Locke says "That's where Jacob is." Is this a continuity error or is there more to it? They should definitely be aware of each other because of the "Good to see you out of those chains" line. The producers confirmed early in the show that the Losties are NOT dead or in purgatory. So what the f***? |

When Richards age is emphasized by Ben as being "very very old", I thought he'd be more than just a hundred odd years old. I kinda wanted him to be ancient. It has been apparent for quite some time that Richard came on the Black Rock, and the date of when it went missing was given in an episode about Desmond like 3 years ago. Also, the Black Rock ship crashing into the top of the statue...wtf...does anyone else feel cheated in that scene? Would have been good to actually see a tsunami lifting the boat 100 mtrs (or so) into the air to crash into the concrete statue and land somewhere in the middle of the island in tact (for the most part). A little... I remember seeing the ship come to the island at the start of the season on calm waters in the morning. I wonder how many times it has come to the island. Yeah I thought that too. Also, Man in Black (smokey) tells Richard where the statue is and says that Jacob is there. These are the two characters from earlier in the season (Richard and Locke (smokey)) that are approaching the statue to kill Jacob. Richard asks Locke "What's with the statue?", Locke says "That's where Jacob is." Is this a continuity error or is there more to it? That didn't happen. It was the other way around, Locke was pretending to not know where Jacob was, and Richard was taking him. The producers confirmed early in the show that the Losties are NOT dead or in purgatory. So what the f***? What do you mean? They're not. It was made pretty clear by Jacob that they were not dead, nor was it hell. |

Yeah Thermite, my bad. It was the other way around. And Smokey delivered his "Nice to see you outta the chains" line after he'd gained access to Jacob.
I watched again, and Jacob says to Richard that 'hell' is being kept where it belongs by the island. And with the whole dead/not dead thing, if we are to believe Jacob, the losties are not dead...but if we are to believe Richards wife (who could be 'working' for smokey) the losties are dead. I just think that if the losties are being tricked into thinking they're dead, it was really stupid for the producers to confirm so early in the show that they are not dead. It's like saying, "one of our future story arcs is not true, but please go along with it and be mystified anyway". |

Isabelle didn't say Richard was dead. When Richard said that he wished they were together she said that they were already together. I took that as meaning he's alive, and she's a ghost but they're both together on the island with each other. It's been pretty well established that Hurley can see and talk to ghosts. |

Yeah I didn't actually say they are dead. I just thought the writers were trying to trick us into thinking they could possibly dead and then thought that was ridiculous because of the producers having already confirmed that it is not the case.
Also, at 23:38 into last ep, Isabelle says to Richard, "We're dead, both of us". And just to reiterate, I don't believe he is dead, nor the losties are dead. And I realise that Hurely can talk to ghosts. Just saying that the writers have thrown the 'dead' equation in to trip us up. Which is stupid. last edited by Auz_Guy at 00:20:35 26/Mar/10 |

What Isabella said can't be an attempt by the writers to trip us up because Jacob flat out calls BS later on: Richard (to Jacob): [MiB] said you are the devil and that the only way I would see my wife again is if I would kill you. I saw her, here, in this place - where is she? Jacob: That wasn't your wife... |

When Richards age is emphasized by Ben as being "very very old", I thought he'd be more than just a hundred odd years old. I kinda wanted him to be ancient. Yeah, this was my first thought too, especially since in the "previously on Lost" bit at the start it even has Richard saying he has lived longer than you could ever imagine. Americans must have pretty limited imaginations if 150 years is "longer than you could ever imagine". Also, I'm getting the feeling more and more than the exact nature of the island, and who Jacob and the man in black actually are, is never going to be explained. I think all we're going to be left with is hyperbole and metaphors and a case of "the eternal struggle between good vs evil", with Jacob representing the good and the man in black representing the evil. I always figured Richard would have been like an Aztec or Egyptian or something, and have some connection with the whole good/evil gods angle and explain a whole bunch of s***, but really hes just some guy who washed up on the island and is as clueless as everyone else about whats really going on. So yeah, I reckon we're never going to find out the full details, cos theres no characters left they could use a hook into that background info now. |

Theres a theory going round that dead people are tied to an object that comes to the island. Like isabelle could have come in the necklace or something.
It's probably more like they come with a person. Like Hurley could be carrying Jacob around in his head ?? |

there is supposed to be an episode set entiely in 53 a.d, featuring only MIB and jacob.
this should answer who they are and where they come from. did u notice how jacob torments MIB by offering him fish in the season 5 finale on the beach and then in this ep offered him a drink, knowing he is an effigy and does eat or drink? lol, jacobs a piss taker if the guy isnt a f***ing alien then i dont know how there gonna explain him and to be honest - i do not believe we will get an explanation, that would really s*** me if they didnt answer what his origins are ep 14 will explain a lot . think its about jacob n mibs childhood last edited by lewd at 20:40:34 26/Mar/10 |

Umm... guys, like many shows the writers were making up the story as they were going along.
This means: 1. There will be inconsistencies 2. There will be plot holes Just enjoy the show and stop micro-analysing. |

They might be writing the scripts and specifics of the episodic stories as they go, but I believe by the start of Season 3 they had the whole plot and all the 'secrets' locked in. I wouldn't be surprised if they had some ideas about the nature of the monster and island when they wrote the pilot. Especially if my Joseph Campbell theory from above is true, which it probably is if they are screen writers.

guys, im confused on the show at the moment. i sorta lost track about what is happening at some point.
We saw jacob's nemesis off the island as some boss guy, gets shot by sayid, and sun and jin are seeing each other without the blessing of her father, what alternate reality is this again? Is it the future if they never went the island? They are flash forwards or something? cheers for the clarification. |

No no no, that wasn't Jacob's Nemesis (The Man In Black as he's being called) that was Martin Keamy (Played by Kevin Durand), the ex-marine that Widmore hired to kill Ben Linus (he instead killed Ben's daughter) a couple seasons ago (In the timeline/reality that most of the show has been set). He seems to be some kind of mobster/hitman in the alternate reality. Unless you mean the Russian guy, Mikhail, who was one of Ben Linus' guys on the island (wearing an eye patch).
The show has not explained what exactly the alternate reality is. All we know is the island has sunk under the ocean sometime between 1977 and 2004, the plane didn't crash in 2004 (which is when these alternate reality scenes appear to be set), and the character's lives have been significantly different there. It seems likely that it is what their lives would be without Jacob's manipulation. last edited by thermite at 17:16:41 03/Apr/10 last edited by thermite at 17:20:22 03/Apr/10 |

I have to say, I'm completely uninterested in the flash-parallels. Completely random and too coincidental (all the characters keep bumping into each other).
However I loved the future flashes of Season 4. |

I've got some theories on Desmond
You know how he was the constant, well what if he is the constant between the two realities. Remember how he popped in to that plane and then disappeared in the season premiere? Maybe Widmore had to send him there on a mission? As to why he's like this, maybe it's because he's the only one left that sat in that hatch for so long near the pocket of energy, probably did something to his prostate too. |

HOW!!!! does charles know? what was ben linus' paralell story? this makes all the paralell stories so much more meaningful now |

Well I think we can assume Eloise has all her memories from the end of Season 5, when she shot Faraday. She helped set that bomb off.
Yeah I think Desmond will round everyone up - but does he need to bring them all to the brink of death? hehe
I think his story was some sort of metaphor for what's going on with the island regarding the leaders. He was a teacher at a high school, and Locke, the substitute, tells Ben he should become the principal. On the island Jacob is dead and Locke is the only one in charge, he told Ben he should become the leader of the island after he's gone. last edited by thermite at 21:01:00 07/Apr/10 |

That ash could have been to keep smokie away. I really hope Christian Shephard turns out to be a different guy to smokie. Preferably Christian Shephard himself. Besides, wasn't smokie running around the island terrorising the losties?
Check out tonight's ep, just before the 6 minute mark. The moment the guy tying desmond up says "You don't have any metal on you?" he looks and sounds just like Jack, just briefly. And then Widmore's reponse "Course he doesn't you idiot" he sounds like Locke. Might be nothing to it, but it might be deliberate? |

That was brilliant. Ok so just wondering if anyone thought the last bit of that ep was a bit off? Could it be that when Desmond decided to follow Sayid into the jungle, the alt timeline changed/continued?
Was thinking that maybe if he didn't go with Sayid and instead fought to stay with Widmore, maybe the alt timeline would be different eg. he vanishes right in front of Penny (like he seemingly did on the flight). It definitely appears that Desmond is aware of his flashes to and fro now, because he wants to show 'him' the manifest from the plane. I assume 'him' is Widmore and I assume he'll want to show him when he flashes black to the island. |

because he wants to show 'him' the manifest from the plane. I'm pretty sure he says 'I just need to show them something', as in show the passengers on the manifest how to have the flashbacks that Charlie showed Desmond, not show Widmore anything. |

"show THEM something", right got it.
Yea I know Desmond didn't vanish, he just fainted. I was just wondering if he decided not to go with Sayid would that change the alternate timeline. Like the choices you make on the island, changes the course of time in the alt timline. |

Yeah I don't care much from the Sun and Jin plot. Maybe when the show wraps up it will be more interesting in retrospect, but at this point I don't even give a toss if they find each other again.
I am far more interested in Rose and Bernard, I f***en lost it when they first found each other on the island. I've got a feeling there will be a twist with Rose. You know back in the first ep (?) where she was all quiet sitting there alone, she'd realised her cancer was gone, she has some kind of connection with the island. There's gotta be more to this. last edited by thermite at 23:24:53 08/Apr/10 |

So I was thinking, could the alternate reality be the reality that happens if the man in black makes it off the island? There seems to be this recurring theme of people getting their desires and their life being "better", and then realising that they aren't actually happy and their lives have turned out kind of hollow. Seems like something a devious, evil smoke monster would pull! Also, a couple of episodes ago, when Widmore is talking to Jin about what will happen if the man in black gets off the island, its not like a "hell on earth" type apocalypse scenario he paints, he just says that the people they know and love will just blink out of existence and cease to exist. Kind of like reality would change and the people we currently know, will have never existed and will have lead completely different lives? I dunno, I don't read all the Lost websites and stuff, this is just something that occured to me while I was watching, could be completely wrong :P |

yup . when desmond went to run him over i thought exactly the same, desmond isnt literally going to destroy him on the island, more so 'make him remember' that hes dead in his alt time line or something along those lines which will cause him to drop dead in lost island time which will render smokie useless
something like that f***ing AWESSSSSSOMEEE EPISODE the whole ep when hurley and libby were on scene i was screaming at the scream "REMEMBER U f***.. REMEMBER!!!" and then they kissed and i was like MOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHERf***KKKER!! holy s*** i love this show |

Personally i think this show should have died when they GOT OFF THE BLOODY ISLAND! That or when Merry died :'( either way this show has lasted long past its used by date and i'm glad it is ending, although that said i do feel bad for all the millions of people that actually think this show is good so heres hoping for you millions that it continues :) |

Very cool ep and Libby came back yay! And another tiny thing explained - the whispering voices. Although that definitely felt made up as opposed to thought out from the start. |

I assumed Desmond was trying to kill Locke because hes trying to make things with the Losties to be the same as they are in the "real" timeline, and in the real timeline Locke is dead. But yeah, I guess he could just be trying to jumpstart Locke's memories with the near death thing too. Although that definitely felt made up as opposed to thought out from the start. Yeah, I kinda thought the same, I mean I liked the explanation, I'm happy enough with it, but the whispering voices have been around since the first season and I doubt that was the explanation they had in mind all along. Also, f*** them with their teases about the Island, Richard DOES know what it is, the f***er. Here I was thinking we weren't going to get anymore juicy info out of Richard, then he drops that s***. Not cool Richard, not cool. |

Not cool Richard, not cool. Nah, I thought that came across as completely fake and that Richard was bulls***ting his way through what they needed to do. Why have a complete episode not that long ago that highlighted Richard's crisis of confidence because he was in the dark just like everyone else? |

Pretty sure richard was just referring to the scene we saw a few eps ago with the cork.
I was also hoping for a better explanation for the voices in the jungle. Dead people is a little cliche. Also I think Richard, Ben, and Miles are f***ed. I bet they'll get smoked. Well maybe not Ben. last edited by thermite at 10:37:01 15/Apr/10 |

But yeah, I guess he could just be trying to jumpstart Locke's memories with the near death thing too. in the 'real' timeline, desmond doenst know that locke is dead. when smokie says to him when hes tied up "do u know who i am" he says " of course, youre john locke" so that theory doesnt work. The ep where des remembered his love for penny etc, he was actually blanking out in 1 time line when he was conscious in the other. i am thinking he has now 'blanked' out when hes down the well, and the very next scene is him in the other time line, and hes killing john locke cause he threw him down a well. rewatch the penny and des scenes and the scene where they zap him with the electromagnetic s***, and unlike all the other flash backs, when des flashes from 1 time line to another, its in real time, ie hes either in 1 timeline or the other, like when he was time travelling. Maybe he isnt even 'remembering' its just him time jumping consciously again. actually that makes alot more sense (since he passes out in front of penny when he jumps back to island time line) this next ep is gonna be amazzzzzzzzzzing. |

So its been revealed that it was Smokey who was Christian Shepard at the start of the show. Just curious, can anyone remember when Jack saw his dead father in the hospital he worked at, after he fixed the supposedly broken smoke detector. But now they're saying that Smokey couldn't have left the island.
Oops? |

Desmond is NOT trying to kill them.
He is bringing people close to death so that they get a vision of their life in the other time stream. They need to be brought close to death or be given a very strong emotional event that matches one in their other timeline such as Hurley kissing that chick. |

Can someone tell me why there was C4 on the plane? Smokey's explanation of wiping them out while they're together made sense at the time, except when you consider he had the same plan (according to Jack). Surely Widmore and Locke would have opposite plans?

im guessing desmond told sayid everything that is going to happen which made sayid change back to the good side. also i think sayids last words "because its going to be you jack" are a pretty big hint that jacks going to be the next jacob.
also next weeks ep is the non-losties ep and sounds like its going to be interesting. |

Aww pity the pilot died, I liked his character. Always kinda sad to see any Lostie die now because we've been through so much with them. so tell me why does smokey want them all dead? And now they all didn't die together what now? He wants them dead so he can leave the island, but he can't kill them himself so they have to die by each other's hand instead. So now I'm guessing he'll try and figure out other ways to get them to die. |

He wants them dead so he can leave the island, but he can't kill them himself so they have to die by each other's hand instead. So why didn't he just let them fire up the plane + C4? Also I thought if an action a candidate was about to take (killing someone else) would cause self-death too, then it wouldn't occur ... last edited by parabol at 09:56:02 06/May/10 |

That was a pretty selfish move on Jin's behalf though, I mean he could have left Sun and saved himself and at least his daughter would have 1 parent, now shes an orphan. GG. Did that sub have weapons? Like could it shoot torpedos? Should have shot the bomb out a torpedo tube imo. |

Great ep. I guess he wanted to kill them all together because it would be much harder to do one at a time without creating suspicion of his intentions. Still I agree re: the airplane, it doesn't make sense to me why he pointed out the C4 was there. |

So in the 'Richard/Jack/Dynamite' episode, Jack puts 2 n 2 together and figures that on account of Jacob touching them they CAN'T kill themselves. However in this ep, he says the complete opposite...Smokie can't kill us, but we CAN kill ourselves. Sure, they didn't all die. But Sun, Jin and Sayid were touched by Jacob and they ended up dead. Just wondering if the Dynamite scene would have worked out the same way if it were Sun sitting across from Richard instead of Jack.
Also, did Smokie have some insider knowledge that Jack was going to board the sub? He gave the backpack to Jack with the c4 in it, even though Jack was adamant he was only there to help everyone on to the sub. He only boarded the sub because he carried the injured Kate aboard. Did Smokie know that Kate was going to get shot and that Jack would pick her up and put her on board and that Sawyer would close the hatch before he had a chance to get off? Bit of a stretch I thought. Why not just give the backpack to someone who was definitely gonna board? |

Sun, Jin and Sayid were touched by Jacob and they ended up dead Jacob's gift my differ from person to person. Like he made Jin and Sun fertile and have a daughter, Ji Yeon Kwon. I'm guessing we'll see her again? Jack didn't say they could kill themselves, but each other. He must have thought hard about why Smokie hadn't killed them earlier, if he planted the bomb to kill them anyway? Can't explain how Smokie knew what he knew. Perhaps he knows them all so well, from reading their minds, that he can anticipate what they might do. |

Also, did Smokie have some insider knowledge that Jack was going to board the sub? Yeah, I was thinking about this, did we actually see who shot kate? Could it have been smokey who shot kate? Or could he have got Claire to shoot Kate? Knowing that Jack would then help kate and go in the sub? Also, I think its more that other people can't kill the candidates, like Richard was trying to kill himself, but hes not allowed to kill Jack, so the dynamite didn't work. But in the sub, smokey tricked them into killing themselves and thats allowed? I dunno, it all seems a bit made up at the last minute so far, while I'm enjoying this season, it doesn't feel like they're revealing the answers to the questions we've had throughout the series, it feels like they're just making the answers up on the spot and then making them fit. The stuff happening now doesn't really feel all that connected to the last 6 years of Lost, like its not like we have a big reveal and then suddenly realise its been foreshadowed for the past 4 or 5 years, all the reveals so far feel like new stuff they've made up for this season. And some of it feels really disappointing, like for years they had this enigma that was the statue with the four toes, and everyone was coming up theories all over the place about what it meant, and then we get the time travel bit and OMG theres the whole statue! And the theories start up again, and then instead of there being some big awesome reveal about what the statue is its just "Oh yeah, its just a statue, and it used to be whole, until a few hundreds years ago when a boat crashed into it". Such an anti-climax. Guess maybe I had my expectations set too high, its still an enjoyable show, but its not super-amazing-awesome like I was expecting. |

Yea, my expectations were so high for this show. I know exactly what you mean about this season. It totally doesn't feel like the last five seasons. IMO a 'twist ending' should mean that the ending could have been guessed from very early in the piece, but due to the writers genius, they kept us at bay until the end when they reveal how they hid the information from us.
The Sixth Sense movie is a perfect example of a twist ending. The information was there right from the opening scene. And it's revealed at the end how stupid we were for not seeing it straight away. The Lost writers are STILL revealing new information that is changing the plot each episode. There is no way we could have guessed how this is gonna end from the start or even a season or two ago. Having said all that, I hope I get to eat my words when the writers, hopefully, deliver a kickass finale. |

The Sixth Sense movie is a perfect example of a twist ending. If you like The Sixth Sense, watch Jacob's Ladder. It's one of the best movies ever made IMO. Once you know the end, you can go back and watch it and it all makes sense. |

The way the stories are being told its really hard to tell if when they stumbled upon Adam & Eve back in series 1, if the writers had already written a story about who they were as revealed in the latest episode. To me it feels like they only decided the answers to these questions now, I think when they designed the show they decided to have a lot of random "mysterious" elements on the island that would never be explained. They are just there. Since the show has become so popular and people want answers, they are now writing them on the fly. Thats just how it FEELS watching the show. I guess its impossible to ever really know, maybe on the season 6 DVD they'll have some good 'making of' stuff which shows how it was all really pllotted right from the first season.. that would rock. I guess maybe they always had this final season planned, and seasons 2-3-4-5 were "fillers" to fill in time until they knew they could release the final season, maybe thats why the writers stated it was such a relief to have an end date too the show so they could show all the cards etc. Either way, im really enjoying the season, and I think anytime you have big mysteries like this, when they do the reveal, no matter what the answer is its always going to be a bit of a disappointment because everyone has an imagination and probably imagined things in a different way. Myself I always imagined that some kind of ancient tribe had lived on the island and Smokie somehow gained his powers and was "evil" and so Jacob was blessed with his abilities too represent "good" and that they balance each other out, Jacob meant to represent "good" & his brother the opposite. Sort of a ying & yang theory. Obviously I was completely wrong and Smokie doesnt seem inherently evi(other then the fact he kills people who dont make the right decisions)l or bent on distruction as yet and Jacob doesnt seem like he was that "good" either, there is more revealing to be done. Now it feels to me like Smokie is some kind of element that brings about judgement to people for their decisions, IE he killed Mr Eko for refusing to repent for his sins. |

I have a Lost question from earlier in the show that I never found an answer for, maybe I missed it. When Juliette joined the survivors camp originally, Sayid demanded answers from her, and she replied "If I told you what I knew, you'd kill me." Did she or the Others end up really knowing much? Seems to me like in the end the Others had NFI about the island (except Richard) and Ben Linus especially all ended up being clueless pawns who werent really doing much at all, Ben ended up being manipulated by Smokie to kill jacob and break the rules of the game. What was so special about "the others" in the first place, and why was catching Ben linus so important? I must have missed it somewhere.. even though i watched every episode. |

I thought they were speaking English. Either way, they flicked to a new camera angle and everything. The audience is supposed to accept that new camera angle means they can understand foreign languages. Directing 101 :) |

what language were they speaking initially?
also is smokie actually jacobs brother? reasons why he might not be: 1. his body was placed in cave which kate and jack find in th future 2. smokie can make himself look like dead people. he might look like jacobs brother to piss jacob off. reason why he is: 1. cant kill jacob himself (their "mother" made it so they couldnt) maybe hes a manifestation of man in blacks evil side? |

Yeah I'm guessing it's one of those Star Trek type deals where someone's soul or whatever you want to call it mixes with pure energy and comes back to haunt the crew of Enterprise. His dead body just got spit out at the end of it, so it's probably safe to say that there's a bit of Jacob's brother still in there but it's something completely different and malevolent considering it's taken the form of other various dead people over the years. |

what i dont get is
remember how flocke took ben down under the temple to that place where he was 'judged' and smoke reanimated his dead daughter to convince him to follow and do what flocke says etc why the f*** were their heiroglphyics on the wall of smoke fighting anubis? or why were there heirglyphics at all? they need to explain that.. or that makes no sense. maybe egyptians inhabited the island some stage after smokie was born, and they drew all the s***.. nfi really and i was also hugely disapointed with how they explained the island and the source etc... so vague, fking lame. |

why the f*** were their heiroglphyics on the wall of smoke fighting anubis? I was hoping that had something to do with Richard's time. But no, his "I've been here longer than you can imagine" ended up being 130 years or whatever. Also, the previous Jaboc + brother scenes that we saw seemed more hostile. Was that Jacob vs smokey or vs pre-smokey brother? i.e. when did that occur? |

i think the more hostile scenes were definitely jacob vs smokey
coz he has that bottle of wine and explains how he can never let him escape, coz hes some badass smoke monster now and yeah, i was also hoping the heiroglyphics had something to do with him i am maybe guessing the mother could have still been an ancient egyptian, after all she was doing tapestry. thats egyptian isnt it? |

Absolutely piss weak, why is it that 2 episodes away from the f***in finale they give us more questions?? ill buy the cheesy light that is inside all of us but i want some answers involving why these bastards are godlike to begin with arrgh |

Why did the "others" have Kate and Saywer digging the ground with picks and s*** and why did they keep them in those animal type cages.
Another thing, why did Lockes body stay in the coffin after Smokey took control of it. Because I remember Smokey telling Jack he used his fathers body and that coffin was empty when Jack found it. |

How come they started speaking American half way through a scene? I'm glad they did, because the crazy immortal mum's accent was f***ing horrendous. It didn't sound like she was speaking another language at all, it sounded like she was reading a bunch of words off a script with no idea how to actually pronounce them. I'm really glad they switched to English or I would have had to turn the sound off and work out what was going on by the pictures. Yeah, wasn't as satisfying as I hoped, still with the weird metaphors and the ambigious "It is because I say it is" type explanations. Still cool, seeing background on Jacob and the man in black, but I was hoping for a bit more this close to the end of the show. With the heiroglyphs, I'd assume that light at the heart of the island that turns people into undead smoke monsters has been around for a long time. Maybe back in Egyptian times someone else made the mistake of throwing a person in the cave and they came out as a smoke monster, and there was an epic battle where they fought the monster and finally managed to contain it back inside the island, and scrawled the heiroglyphs as a warning to future people/protectors to not go in there. Thats how it happened in my imagination anyway, I hope they don't reveal the real answer because I'm sure it will be far less impressive and just disappoint me. Also, the man in black wasn't trying to leave with all the candidates, he was just trying to convince them all to leave with him to get them all in the same place so he could blow them up. |

They didn't really explain the wheel thing either did they, I mean, it never actually got built. It was just a "Well I think I can stick a wheel in this here wall, and then when I turn it stuff will happen", what in the f*** explanation is that? What the hell does sticking a big wooden wheel in a wall and turning it actually DO? And it wasn't finished being built anyway so how is it even there in the future? |

Pretty much all of season 2 was balls and had nothing to do with anything. You could prolly skip season 2 and you'd be non the wiser. The whole pressing the button every hour or whatever the f*** was retarded as well. What the f*** does that have to do with smokey and the candidates or whatever. It's all such bulls*** and they really had no f***ing idea what the f*** they were doing. I tip my hat to them though because they've kept us watching. 8-) |

And why leave the island and then go back? "We have to go back, I don't know why, but we have to. I can't get a straight answer from anyone but I'm gonna round up everyone who left and we're gonna go back!" Smokey can't use a dead body already on the island, he has to form some elaborate plan to get Locke off the island, then have Ben kill him and then bring the body back. f*** ME |

Your right, the explanations in this weeks episode were piss-weak. "I have made it so you & your brother can never hurt each other", although he may no longer be Jacob's brother? I think we are going to see something MORE about Jacob's "godlike" powers, I remember Jacob's brother saying to him when they were playing that game "One day you will have your own game where you can make the rules.", and it seems like thats what ended up happening, I think we will find out the rules and the game and the "loophole" jacob mentioned. Even though we know the loophole was for Esau/Smokie to convince someone else to kill jacob. |

If they reach 88mph, it'll be awesome and they'll disappear in two fire trails and a spinning number plate. If they don't everything is just gonna be fubar. |

I thought it was a good ep, I take the lack of explaining to just mean that no one on the island really knows what the f*** is going on.
Intact this whole series is really just about the surviors of the plane crash and there story on the island, anything else they share is a bonus. |

^ yeah nah.........
this is a story that helps if its foundations are explained. to not explain jacob and 'blacky', would be lame as. 'specially if jack is to become the next jacob so to speak. he can now find out this info without us having to suffer his stupid dumbfounded look. did the light turn him into the smoke, or was the smoke always in him and the light released it? this is the beauty of lost. its a water cooler show, so has to have conundrums. |

well walter is the one who crossed dimensions to kidnap the other peter and bring him back to our world. He pretty much started the whole war between universes in the process.

^ http://mimg.ugo.com/200903/25049/michael-waaalt.jpg So at this late stage in the game, we're unlikely to have it explained why 'The Others' wanted to kidnap children from the Losties from way back in the first season. When Mr Friendly takes Waaaalllt from the raft I'm guessing the explanation boils down to good old fashioned pedophilia. |

i dont think the others knew about the lists. seems the others were a bunch of dumb c***s with NFI what was going on. They were just pawns. It seems like everyone is a pawn in the game being played by smokie & jacob and they are just being moved around. Remember when jacob tried to move sideways and his brother said ' u cant do that, one day you can make up your own game with your own rules!' this is jacobs game. and they are all pieces on a board. |

When Mr Friendly takes Waaaalllt from the raft I'm guessing the explanation boils down to good old fashioned pedophilia. This isn't an easy question to answer. Basically ben wanted to infiltrate the survivors, so he took white knowing he could manipulate michael to get his rescue shortly afterwards... Clair was taken so the others could monitor her pregnancy... The inability to have children has been a big issue for ben.. he recruit juilette off the island purely to investigate it.. and im pretty sure half the reason he took the french chicks daughter was because he knew he couldnt have a child (that and he knew she would be better off with him) Nah, they definitely did, cos remember in that episode where they're introducing the people from the tail section and the others send a spy into the group, he has a list of names of people who are important. I can't be sure it's the same list.. from memory it was just a list of who ben thought was important for his own reasons. Ben was an evil dick and the main villan for 4 seasons. Jacob never spoke to ben, he did it all on his own accord, from getting rid of whitmore to tormenting the survivors, richard guided him but im pretty sure richard was just making sure the island was safe and let ben do what ever the f*** he wanted. I was going to write up a big time line of all of ben's event's which explains alot about why the island is in the state it is in at its current point of time. but i accidently hit the back button half way through typing that... i might actually do up a visio chart explaining more of the island timeline aswell later on. |

I dont believe these are the same lists.. I think Ben had his own agenda and his own lists By the end Ben has been exposed as greedy clueless f***wit who didnt know s***. And Jacob knew that Ben would get greedy & kill him which is why he never allowed Ben to come anywhere near him. I dont think Ben ever knew about the caves with the names, or the candidates or any of that s***.. he didnt even know anything about Smokey. he was just a dumbass. |

Im pretty sure the only reason ben got into power with jacobs people was because he remove whidmore. (i think (this is a theory) he got away with it because whidmore wanted to experiement with the island)

How did Ben get those names then? He sees the plane crash, and he immediately orders people to go find the survivors, and gives them a list of names of people he doesn't even know? Its not like he got to know the survivors, figured out which ones would be useful to him, and then made a list of names, that was a list of names that existed before he even knew who was on the plane. |

I thought Ben dispatched Ethan and Goodwin to the plane crash sites to make lists, he didn't give them lists before sending them off. It's been a while since I watched that episode though so I could be wrong. |

Oh yeah, maybe thats right, its been a while since I saw it too but I had this fuzzy memory of Goodwin's list having Jack's name on it, which wouldn't be possible, cos they wouldn't have met (unless someone knew the names ahead of time). |

Also the polar bear explanation.
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Polar_bear Polar bears were brought to the Island by the DHARMA Initiative, who held them in cages at the Hydra station. (The World of the Others) Text on the blast door map suggests that DHARMA Initiative researchers were attempting to genetically modify the polar bears to allow them to survive warmer climates. At least some of the polar bears survived the Purge, after which they were freed from their cages and swam to the main Island. (Access Granted) After the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 in 2004, survivors of the crash occasionally encountered and were threatened by the bears, and Charlotte Lewis discovered the skeleton of a DHARMA Initiative polar bear in Tunisia that same year. I think people forget that alot has been explained also the lists http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/List last edited by groganus at 13:47:40 17/May/10 |

Alternate Desmond is awesome, hes the man with the plan. Also, I can't remember, what happened to that old guy and his black wife? Are they still off living in the jungle like hermits? I can't remember what happened to them, just that someone stumbled accross them living hermit style in the jungle a little while back. |

khel;
Rose and Bernard later reappeared when Sawyer, Kate, and Juliet escaped from the submarine. Rose, initially, appeared unhappy that they had been discovered. The couple revealed the small cabin in which they had been living with Vincent for the past three years. They expressed that they were happy living peacefully on their own, away from the violence and drama that the other survivors had always been involved with. Rose, whose cancer clearly was no longer affecting her, showed no signs of concern about a nuclear weapon on the island, and promptly directed the group towards the Barracks, saying farewell. ("The Incident, Part 1") Last ep was great showing what side ben is truely on, i find it funny that he is so emotionally attached to his daughter the way he is. In case you don't remember, widmore sent ben to kill rosso, ben found the child but couldn't kill them, so he kept the child, when widmore found out he said it was the islands plan to kill the child, ben told widmore that if it was the islands plan then widmore should kill the child... widmore clearly didn't at that point in time (which proved to ben that the islands plan/jacobs plan is all just bulls*** that the leadre of the others can use todo basically what they want) Few years later ben ends up taking control of the others and kicking widmore off for having living a life off the island (its ok to leave the island for island related matters, but not to live 2 lives) which then sparks the fued between widmore and ben. Eventually widmore sends his kick ass team of marines to take back the island, at which point ben's daughter is killed, when ben leaves the island he trys to kill penny, but can't and shoots desmond instead (but not killing him). The m.i.b convinces ben that jacob is responsible for the death of his daughter.. when really it was his own dumb fault all along... Out of all the cast i love ben the most, he is such a f***ing pyscho cainer. |

I reckon Ben is still trying to stop the bad smoke monster locke though. I mean, when he shot Widmore, I kind of got the impression he was trying to shoot him to shut him up, so he didn't tell the smoke monster whatever secret it was that he was telling, and then he could pass it off as a revenge killing. And Ben sounded a little disappointed and taken aback when smokie told him that Widmore had enough time to tell him his secret anyway. |

Jack becomes the new Jacob and protector of the island, the antagonist to the “Man in Black” / Smoke Monster in John Locke’s body Jack and “John Locke” go to the heart of the island / tunnel of light with Desmond - bc he is a weapon to the island’s magnetic existence. Desmond drains the light/heart of the island…and the island starts to sink. In order to make that parallel universe happen, Jack believes he must kill John Locke and save the island. Jack and John Locke have a showdown on the rock cliffs. As John Locke stabs Jack and is about to kill him, Kate shoots and kills him, and Jack kicks his body into the ocean. In the Flash Sideways: Desmond is reuniting all the characters and is helping them remember their time on the island. Ben Linus is Alex’s teacher and mentor. Alex invites him to dinner where he shares a romantic connection with Alex’s mom, Danielle Rousseau. Desmond works for Charles Whitmore, and connects with Penny through the charity concert the Whitmores are planning. Hurley and Libby reconnect through Desmond, and Hurley begins to help Desmond reconnect everyone. Hurley and Boone help push Sayid and Shannon back together. Sayid and Shannon remember. Daniel Faraday connects with Charlotte at the charity concert event. Kate helps deliver Claire’s baby, Aaron - backstage at the Driveshaft / Daniel Faraday concert. They both remember. Charlie and Claire come together backstage. Charlie remembers. Jack and Juliet are both doctors in the same hospital, used to be married, and had a son together. Jin and Sun are pregnant. Juliet is their doctor. As Jin and Sun look at the sonogram, they both remember. Jack gives John Locke spinal surgery, it works, and Locke remembers. Sawyer and Juliet meet in the hospital. They both remember and reconnect in mutual tears of happiness. Jack goes to the charity party and runs into Kate. She looks familiar to him, but he only slightly remembers when Kate touches his face. Back to the island: Sawyer, Kate, Claire, Miles, Richard Alpert, and Pilot Lapidus leave the island on the plane. Jack, Hurley, Desmond, and Ben Linus go back to the tunnel of light. Jack gives Hurley the responsibility of being protector of the island. Jack puts back the magnetic stone while Desmond is pulled out. Hurley asks Ben Linus to be his helper on the island. Back to the Flash Sideways: All of the islanders meet back up at the church where Jack was supposed to have his father’s funeral. Just outside the church, John Locke forgives Ben. Jack goes inside the church and remembers everything about the island when he touches his father’s coffin. When Jack opens the coffin, it is empty. His father is standing behind him. Jack figures out that he must’ve died himself. Jack’s father says everyone eventually dies “at some point, at some time”. All the characters “move on” to what seems to be heaven all together because they needed each other. The episode ends with Jack dying of the knife wound in the bamboo forest on the island. He is joined by Walt’s dog, Vincent and smiles as he watches the plane with Kate, Claire, Sawyer, and the other survivors flying away - and then he dies…at the exact place where the show started. |

Yea. Still a damn lot of it seemed kinda pointless in the end. All about the journey i guess. But i can't see myself ever going back and rewatching it.That's pretty much exactly what I said to Saint. Further, if anyone that hadn't watched it were to ask me if I'd recommend it (to watch as a completed series). I'd say don't bother. |

I was kind of expecting to see the wizard behind the curtains pulling all the strings to somehow explain the entire "WTF" . But I did cry in parts of the ending... WHEN I REALIZED I WASTED 6 f***ING SEASONS FOR THIS s***.../joke. Nah really, I was happy with the ending although there are way to many lose ends.

thought it was a great ending. it pretty much came full circle except the characters were no longer unhappy/flawed, they were happy/complete.

dahzel: they werent. everything that happened was real. Hmm I think I get it now Spoiler: everything that happened, happened and flash sideways was just where dead people realise they're dead. But then again that makes no sense either because sawyer and claire are in the church with the dead people. Edit: Spoiler: Ahh, Jack's dad said that all the losties are all there together because they loved one another on the island and they want to spend the rest of eternity together. The people that weren't dead are there because they died later. Or something. Awww. So basically the finale is thus: When you have so much s*** left unanswered, and answering any of it would be to the detriment of something else, don't bother answering any of it and it'll all be sweet. |

Desmond uncorked the island, and it made the metal act all weird so super people could get stabbed and shot like normal. Then Jack corked up the island again. Hurrah! It's like that bit in Superman 2 when Superman steps into the special chamber and Zod and co. are on the outside of the chamber expecting Superman to lose his powers, except WHAMMO Superman reversed the polarity and now it's Zod and henchmen getting their arses handed to them. |

to sum it up, and don't read this if you have yet to watch the last ep
Desmond claims that if he goes down there (and dies) he will be in a place where all his loved ones and friends are (and that jack will be there too).. i take it he knew this from all his near death experiences and from his ability to time travel (or what ev's) anyway... he uncorks the island, jack defeats lock and assists the others escaped. jack now knows to save the island he has to reverse what Desmond did during jacks last moments he puts Hurley in charge and heads down the hole and reverses what Desmond has done. he then washes up somewhere on the island near by staggers around and dies. The off the island part of this season has been set in what you could call purgatory, Desmond has been going around trying to make them remember so that the can leave and ascend i guess you could say. some will say this ending eats balls.. i personally like it.. its kind of like the ending to the sopranos but has a bit more resolution. I've always said this show is all about the survivors of flight 815.. and its wrapped up there story line nicely in my books. |

i would have loved at the church for it to have had everyone that was in the show. well atleast the ones with speaking parts I'm pretty sure the writers had previously said they couldn't get everyone, that aside Desmond wasn't taking everyone.. for example, he excluded miles, the pilot (can never remember his name) and Faraday. (in fact that made mention of that, when Desmond was speaking with Faradays mother he said he wouldn't be taking her) Man the more i think about it the more i enjoyed the last ep. last edited by groganus at 23:13:39 24/May/10 |

So they were actually time travelling and there was a smoke monster etc, and people who couldn't be killed etc in the real world? I mean if they were dead all along that stuff is easier explained... So all that crazy stuff happend... on some freaky island AND all this seasons flashes were from some type of purgatory type thing?

Worst. Episode. Ever.
Honestly, what the f*** was that s***? They used the stupid "AMG you were in purgatory lulz" thing to distract us from the fact that they didn't answer a god damn thing about the island. UGH. Terrible. Also, the whole Kate still loving Jack thing was soooo just thrown in at the last minute. What the f***? There hasn't been any hint of there being any residual feelings there since the fourth season. After their relationship fell apart, Kate was quite cold and distant. They then kinda patched things up and became friends again. There was no hint that any romance still existed between them. I did not buy it at all. There were a few things I liked... like Desmond and Hurley working to get all the loose ends together so everybody would remember and move on. I also liked seeing everybody happy in the end. The reunion between Sawyer and Juliette was really nice, where he was like "You got it, Blondie" etc. I, like many of you, spent the last 6 years watching these people struggle, bleed, cry, worry and die. It was nice to see them all happy, content and resolved. |

I actually really enjoyed it. I stopped expecting things to get answered, and I actually watched the 2 hour recap episode before I watched the finale and that put me in a really good frame of mind to enjoy the finale. Watching back over all the cool stuff thats happened in the show over the past 6 years, and all the great characters, put me in a good mood to enjoy the ending. It wasn't really an ending to explain the mysteries of the island, it was an ending to all the character's story arcs. And thats something they stress in the pre-finale recap special, they said they wanted the finale to be a really character driven thing, where you say goodbye to all these characters you've watched and followed so closely for so long. I'm not quite sure how people are having trouble understanding it though, the whole island bit was real, was always real, and isn't purgatory or whatever. The flash-sideways bits were just some metaphor for some kind of "afterlife" where everyone actually got to be happy, and got live proper lives and find the people they loved and all that happy stuff. They're all there cos everyone dies eventually, I mean geez, they even come right out and say that in the show, do people actually pay attention? When Jack asks how everyone is there and his dad tells him that everyone dies, some before him, some long after him, it doesn't really matter, theres no sense of time in the weird metaphorical afterlife. They talked a bit about that in the pre-finale episode as well, saying it was a chance for them as writers to tell a bit of a "what if" story and see what would have happened to the survivors had the plane not crashed, and if they would have found each other again even if the island hadn't brought them together. It was nice, a bit pointless I guess to the overall narrative, but it was a pretty nice way to wrap off the show imo. I was a little disappointed at first that it wasn't some alternate reality thing, and that the Desmond in the alternate reality wasn't going to pull some huge coup and defeat the man in black from the other side, but yeah, the finale really wasn't about that. I enjoyed it for what it was, and it was a fitting end to the show imo. I even got all emotional at the end there when Jack was dying and the dog came and laid down beside him :( Edit: I, like many of you, spent the last 6 years watching these people struggle, bleed, cry, worry and die. It was nice to see them all happy, content and resolved. Yeah, this is pretty much what the writers said they wanted the finale to be. So in that way, it delivered, and I find myself not really even caring about the unanswered questions anymore. |

I would have been happy if they ended it before the church scene... I was actually enjoying it until Christian said all that BULLs*** and then they all spent 5 minutes hugging.
It's just that if the alt reality isn't real, then what's the point of the characters intricate lives there and showing us things like the island underwater, it seems like none of that actually ties in with the story. What do they even need to 'move on' for... why not enjoy their fake lives? None of that stuff had a purpose that related to the plot!! last edited by thermite at 00:02:22 25/May/10 |

I recommend the pre-finale special too, I found it really great reminiscing over the last 6 years of whats happened, and it has interviews with the different cast members as they talk about what it was like to audition for the show and work on the show over the years, and their favourites scenes and stuff. Also, Sayid is british and has this really upper crust british accent! So weird to hear. |

And after that they "moved on". Isn't that kinda exactly what purgatory is??? Purgatory is the condition or process of purification or temporary punishment in which the souls of those who die in a state of grace are made ready for Heaven. Kinda seems exacly what it was to me. How can you say we didn't watch the show? I don't really get what you think was happening then. last edited by JaYMan at 00:15:09 25/May/10 |

Yea see that's what i first thought. That ok, S6 flashes have been purgatory and everything else really happend and they all must have died.
But then i thought.. hey that leaves everything REALLY unexplained. Like there was a real world with time travel, smoke monsters, people who couldn't be killed and have lived and unnaturaly long life times etc... If they were all dead from the point of the crash maybe things would have made some more sense. When his father said it's all been real, maybe he just means well, it was real to you, you experienced it etc. I enjoyed the end and everyone getting together etc and felt really content when it first finished and I don't regret watching it. But looking back and thinking about all the crazy stuff that happend. Them being dead the whole time would just go down easier for me. I don't know. I guess it's kinda cool in itself that they don't really tell you what's going on and you have to think about it more maybe never getting a real answer. I know they said everything isn't going to be explained. But even what they kinda explained wasn't real clear. last edited by JaYMan at 00:24:29 25/May/10 |

Some of it made sense and some of it didn't. If the island stuff actually happened, then it's still all science fiction and bulls*** and stuff like the hydrogen bomb going off and not killing anyone and smoke monsters leaves alot to be explained. It feels to me like they tied up one part of the show (character arcs etc) but still left the whole island thing and so many parts about it unexplained. I really liked the "remember" flash scenes, they were really well done. The off the island flash side of things was ok, but the island stuff was still all horses***. |

I would have been happy if they ended it before the church scene... I was actually enjoying it until Christian said all that BULLs*** and then they all spent 5 minutes hugging. This, I was actually enjoying it until Jack opened the coffin. Ending it before the church scene wouldn't have been good though because we were still waiting to see what they're all gathering together for. They just needed to have a link back to the events happening on the island. Not a wishy washy 'ooh we all died at SOME point and now we'll be hanging out together forever' explanation. For example, Jack corked up the island again at the end - wouldn't it have been much better if he wasn't able to, and the flash sideways crew realized that in order to save the real world they each decided to make the sacrifice to end the sideways world to save the real world? THAT would have been a better ending. They still could have had all the emotional recap scenes and it could have been done even stronger emotionally because they had to unite in a purpose. |

I'm in the "sidways world is bulls***" camp. I think I would have been happier if they left it out of season 6 entirely; the rest of what happens in the finale is interesting enough on its own. |

For those that wonder -- the original ending started the moment Jack walked into the church and touches the casket to Jack closing his eyes as the other plane flies away. That was always JJ's ending. And they kept it. Maybe they SHOULD have changed it so it didn't come across something that felt tacked on after everything that happened. Nathan: agreed, there could have still been an epic finish on the island with the same moment in the bamboo trees without the sideways world. |

So if I understand the theory correctly, the sideways world didnt just pop into existance due to the bomb going off - like they imply. Instead the sideways world is just purgatory that would have always existed for them, regardless of whether the bomb went off or not? Which would mean its solely a construct of Season 6 and has nothing to do with anything. |

I dunno, the reason for leaving Ben outside seems a bit daft, there were heaps of people in the church who weren't part of the first season. Desmond, Penny, Hurley's mental patient chick. So they already changed the ending to have those people in it anyway. |

Yeah, sideways world is just their version of the afterlife, pretty much has no bearing on the overall narrative, its just playing out a "what if" scenario if people's lives were different and the plane never crashed. Must everything in the show have something to do the island and the mythology? Can't the fact that its just entertaining to watch count for something? |

Well I guess the diehards desperately want to try and make sense of it - plus there was a lot of allusion to a mythology which would tie all the loose ends; the promise was tantalising. I gave up a long time ago trying to understand it all, and just went along for the ride. |

It can and it did khel, just alot of people having a hard time coming to terms with the ending that it didn't explain absolutely everything.
I am very content however, me and you have had the exact same views on the show all season, so we're still cool people. im just sad its all over.... by far most addictive tv series/movie/anything watchable i'v ever encountered. |

Loved when they found Lapedis still alive amongst the wreckage of the sub too, I think I actually cheered. Hes awesome. Apart from Locke, he was my favorite character. He wasn't in it much but he was just a really cool guy. I'm in two minds about the ending. I would have preferred something different to them being dead and having to find each other to move on to heaven or whatever. Those bits reminded me of the s***ty flashbacks they used to do which were awful. So many things left unexplained but it's all over so there's nothing we can do about it. |

It isn't really over. There will be an expanded universe with books and games that further various areas of the plot. No doubt it will piss people off and decades from now when they're making the prequels people will be arguing about what is Lost canon and what isn't.

The sideways bulls*** did do one pretty impressive thing; it made the hero and a main character's death a happy thing. Jack died saving the planet and the world, yet it was still a happy ending.

I just watched it then, and thought it was amazing.
Stafford argues that the plane really crashed on the island, the castaways survived, and went on to have all the experiences viewers saw there. From an article - the opinion of someone who writes books on the various seasons... That was my understanding as well, the sideways world was all of Jack's "soulmates" "moving on" together - from Jack's perspective. Apart from what Crizane Tribal says (which I agree with), it also let Christian basically wrap up the show - if they didnt say that part, we'd have no idea what the entire series had been about. |

I agree with all the stuff, and can sort of understand that thing existence posted from another forum, but there are so many other characters they didn't have in the church.
key characters like Echo, Walt, Michael, Anna Lucia etc. What about the chick that protected Jacob, and the randoms in the temple etc etc Too many unanswered questions. Why was Walt so important to the others? |

they wanted echo in the finale but he asked for like 5 times the amount of money they were willing to pay him to come back for 1 scene.
sounds like the actor is a giant douche. echo was originally going to be there for 3 seasons but they had to release him from his contract cause he hated living in hawaii. |

Yeah, but the assumption I guess is that Ben redeemed himself by being Hurley's right hand man, even Hurley gives him props about being a great number 2. But when Michael died, he was still a douche. People ended up actually liking Ben, even respecting him, but nobody liked Michael, he would have just been a downer on their party. Especially since one of the people he shot was there. |

Pls explain how this concept would work?? Yeah but it wasn't known to be 'the afterlife' until 5 minutes before the end when Jack's dad came back and explained it all. It could just as easily have been explained as a parallel universe. |

wouldn't it have been much better if he wasn't able to, and the flash sideways crew realized that in order to save the real world they each decided to make the sacrifice to end the sideways world to save the real world? Yeh TBH this was the kind of ending I was expecting, that one of the worlds would be sacrificed to destroy MIB. Not a "they're in purgatory LOL!" explanation. |

It doesn't sound like an excellant recap, it sounds like someone who doesn't like the show having a big cry. Khel, truly it was a crappy ending to what was alternately a awesome/mediocre series with plenty of great mysteries but sadly only a loose coherence. You're sounding like one of those guys that's sticking by The Phantom Menace because it had some cool Jedi scenes. I was really hoping for something different in that last season and didn't expect to be disappointed as much as I was. Jim's on the money with the KFC analogy. And as if vincent wasnt just waiting to chew on Jacks corpse. Hahaha, so I'm not the only one that thought this. |

The Lost ending was just as bad as using the whole "it was all a dream" explanation. It's easy to use when you know you've painted yourself into a corner and can't think of a clever way to continue. |

So you think the producers just randomly spewed out script for 6 season with no central plot of beginning middle and end at all. Just like with Twin Peaks, it looks random but the writers have a clear story in mind. |

Yeah for the ending they should have shown Jack's eye open like so many of the LOST openings and then his dad goes "Come on Jack.. its time to go to school", Jack looks around the room in a bit of shock, realises he is 15 years old. would have been just as effective. Then the final scene shows him in school and Kate and Sawyer and Hugo are his classmates, Locke is the teacher, Linus is the principal and it was really just a dream about people from school.. he sits at his desk looks up and Locke says "Hello Jack.." in that annoying way.. and it closes! anyone could write this s***.. even me!! |

So you think the producers just randomly spewed out script Yep. There were so many stupid sloppy scenes in season 6. Jacobs mom telling her sons she's made it so they can never hurt each other. What the f*** does that mean? Also killing off Widmore in the most cheesiest of ways after him being such an important character. And him whispering some secret to smokie. I just think for such an important season there were so many dumb things happening that the writers weren't sure what direction they were going to take the ending. |

Khel, truly it was a crappy ending to what was alternately a awesome/mediocre series with plenty of great mysteries but sadly only a loose coherence. I genuinely liked it, I walked away satisfied at the end. Going into it I really wasn't expecting all the questions to be answered, I mean it had become obvious that answering every question we had about everything wasn't their intention with season 6, so I stopped looking for answers and just watched it to enjoy it. If they did answer all the questions you'd just be complaining about how disappointed you were with the explanations anyway. It had some cool scenes on the island, satisfying conclusions to the main characters' story arcs, and some touching, emotional "awwww" moments in the sideways world when people remembered who they were and were reunited and stuff. All up I actually found it to be one of the most satisfying ends to a series I've seen. If I was like a rabid Phantom Menace fanboy I'd be trying to convince everyone else they're wrong, but I don't really give a s*** if you loved it or you hated it, its not like anything I say is going to magically convince you that you liked it, and its not like anything you say is going to magically make me realise I hated it. |

Also killing off Widmore in the most cheesiest of ways after him being such an important character. And him whispering some secret to smokie. I dunno, I thought that was a fitting way for Widmore to go, Ben getting his revenge for Widmore getting his daughter killed. Also, the secret he whispered in smokie's ear was that thing about Desmond being the failsafe and being capable of destroying the island. |

The characters were all great and if that's the main reason you watched the show I guess you could be content. But lots of people while also also appreciating the character ties I'm sure were just really hanging out to see what this island is all about. Most people after being teased and teased without getting answers had come to the brink at some point of giving up on the show, only for them to add something new (like time travel) that makes it even more cool and interesting, so you keep watching. To not get any answers about the island is just massively disappointing, when for a lot of people, that's why they kept watching the show.
I was kinda content because in the end I wasn't expecting much. But I'm more annoyed at how awesome the show COULD have been if things were planned out a little better and thought through. I don't regret watching but as someone else mentioned, I wouldn't recommend a friend to watch the whole series who has never seen it. I just couldn't put them through it. |

People who are saying it didn't answer s*** must be confused, just about everything was or has already been answered.
If something wasn't answered directly the answer was already pretty obvious. The last 3 eps did seem a tad rushed, but in saying that i feel every series finale is rushed |

I'd recommend it, with the advice to just enjoy it and don't try to second guess it. Like you said, there was a lot of cool s*** like the time travel bits. I'm tempted to buy the full series on dvd when it comes out and rewatch it, cos there was a lot of cool s*** in the earlier seasons too that I wouldn't mind seeing again. Probably a lot of little hints and references to stuff I've forgotten too, so it will be interesting to see how stuff is foreshadowed. |

I'm guessing they reveal Hurley's midichlorian count up by a factor of 1000%. its not like anything I say is going to magically convince you that you liked it, and its not like anything you say is going to magically make me realise I hated it. Very true. Most people after being teased and teased without getting answers had come to the brink at some point of giving up on the show, only for them to add something new (like time travel) that makes it even more cool and interesting, so you keep watching. To not get any answers about the island is just massively disappointing, when for a lot of people, that's why they kept watching the show. Amen. This is why I was so disappointed. People who are saying it didn't answer s*** must be confused, just about everything was or has already been answered. HeardY's link has a bunch of loose threads and I'm sure there's plenty more. Most of the threads they did tie up were done by hand waving and "It's magic, Yo!". There's always going to be somethings left unexplained I guess but the show wasn't consistent with it's own internal logic and rules. |

apparently the complete lost series dvd set is going to have a 14min epilogue showing what happened to hurley and ben after hurley became the new jacob. I wonder if Hurley gets to murder anyone, as he was one of the rare losties that didn't kill anyone :) |

I heard there was going to be 20 minutes of extra footage that got cut from the finale due to time constraints, is that the epilogue? Or is that on top of the epilogue? |

Khel, truly it was a crappy ending to what was alternately a awesome/mediocre series with plenty of great mysteries but sadly only a loose coherence. You're sounding like one of those guys that's sticking by The Phantom Menace because it had some cool Jedi scenes. I find it amusing that you give s*** to Star Wars because they went about explaining what the force is with midichlorians, yet you want them to give some in depth explanation to what the island is. |

The irony there is that Star Wars actually WAS about the characters instead of about the mystery and with the prequels Lucas wanted to pretend otherwise. |

If something wasn't answered directly the answer was already pretty obvious Huh? No f***ing way it was. Here's a few things I've been thinking of... If Ben was following Jacob's orders, why did he have access to a secret tunnel in his house where he could activate Smokie? It seemed to me no one could f*** with Smokie. Jacob's and Smokie's mum said she made it so they could never hurt each other. Never found out how. Why was there some convoluted plan to get Locke back to the mainland, have Ben kill him and then bring Locke's body back on a plane just so Smokie could become Locke? Why couldn't he just possess an already dead body on the island? And what happened to Smokies original body? I can't remember what season, but it's the one where Kate and Sawyer are in those dumb cages. Jack asks Ben something something and Ben says, "do you honestly think I'm going to tell you?". I can't remember the question but it was something stupid you never found out. It's not clever writing, it's sloppy. And like jayman was saying, there were a lot of us watching from the start and expecting to get some answers and come 6th season, they just completely ignore everything and go with some lame purgatory line. For a show with this much lore they sure treated the fans pretty s***ty. And the whole, "well it was really about characters, not story", that's a slap in the face. |

Khel, not sure how many HINTS you'll find when you rewatch the series...if you saw the final, you would know there was no big reveal anyway.
Very disappointing end. The plot goes: They crashed on an island, discovered it was the balance of good and evil in the world, and died. The end. Purgatory could have been left in or taken out. No twist end, no creative end, no big reveal = FAIL |

Don't you think part of the intrigue and debate is generated simply by these unsolved questions. Does every question need to have an answer? That in itself is part of the theme of Lost - science vs. faith. |

If Ben was following Jacob's orders, why did he have access to a secret tunnel in his house where he could activate Smokie? It seemed to me no one could f*** with Smokie. Ben wasn't following Jacob's orders though, it was revealed years ago that Ben had never actually seen Jacob. Any orders he did get, were probably from Smokie trying to lead him astray, and I'd assume thats who told him how to summon the smoke monster, because he said he was told to go in there to summon it, and who else would have told him? Why was there some convoluted plan to get Locke back to the mainland, have Ben kill him and then bring Locke's body back on a plane just so Smokie could become Locke? Why couldn't he just possess an already dead body on the island? Pretty sure Ben wasn't actually meant to kill Locke, that wasn't part of the plan, when he fessed up at the end and apologise for killing him he said he was jealous of what Locke had. Ben wanted to get back to the island and be the boss guy again, and he wasn't going to be able to do that with Locke around. Smokie probably just saw an opportunity when Locke's body got back to the island and took it. I dunno, I'm not too fussed about the unanswered stuff, I thought I would be, but in the end most of the stuff that wasn't answered wasn't really important to the overall story of the survivors. You can't claim the whole show was about Jacob and the Man in Black and the magic at the heart of the island or whatever, when those characters (apart from a few mentions here and there) didn't even show up until the last season. May as well say the whole show was about living in the 70's with the Dharma Initiative, or the whole show was about jumping through time. The deep mythological stuff was just this season's angle, like every other season had an angle, the constant through it all is the characters so its not hard to believe the writers when they say its about the characters. Whats more likely, that the show is about the people like Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Sayid, Jin, etc who's stories we watched unfold over the course of 6 years, or the show was about some characters which showed up at the end for a handful of episodes, or the magic fountain of life which showed up 4 episodes from the end. The island and all its wackyness was just a backdrop for the story of the survivors, it just made the story more interesting to watch, thats the way I see it anyway, and it seems to me thats the way the writers saw it. This is a pointless argument though, I dunno why I keep getting drawn back to this thread and sucked into replying, its like yelling into the wind, for both sides. So I'm going to try and leave it there. |

You can't claim the whole show was about Jacob and the Man in Black and the magic at the heart of the island I never did. To me, that stuff never came into play until season 6. I was more interested in finding out why the Dharma guys were there and the donkey wheel allowing people to leave the island. And also why Widmore was sending troops to the island to take out everyone. And why were the Others stealing kids. And what was Desmond doing sitting in the bunker all that time pressing buttons. Why was the island so special that there was some power struggle between two people, namely Ben and Widmore so important. The whole afterlife thing was dumb. |

The irony there is that Star Wars actually WAS about the characters instead of about the mystery and with the prequels Lucas wanted to pretend otherwise. Just about every episode was a character centric episode, yet you are going to sit there and say the show was about the island? I'm disappointed they never revealed what brand of cigarettes Sawyer was smoking in season 1. It's a never ending rabbit hole. The writers tell us why the brothers cant hurt each other - because their "mother" made it that way as the protector of the island... Yet you seem to want a scientific explanation as to how she did it. It's a TV show, ITS NOT REAL. |

You can't just say s*** like, "because I said so". That's a retarded argument. Just because it's a tv show doesn't give them free reign to make up crap when it suites them. That's an easy way out and doesn't do justice to six years worth of viewing. A lot of people were wanting to know the secrets of the island and after watching for six years you'd think the writers would at least give them that. s***, even crap show like Neighbors and Home And Away have a coherent plot.
Almost every ep of Lost had someone not agreeing to divulge information. But by the end you'd think that after all that you'd find out why. The writers tell us why the brothers cant hurt each other - because their "mother" made it that way as the protector of the island... So you'd be cool with things like light sabres on the island? We don't know why everyone has one, but the writers said it's ok? There's no valid reason, but hey, their mum said light sabres for all, so let's go with that. last edited by Reverend Evil™ at 18:07:28 27/May/10 |

Whoever is the protector of the island obviously has some kind of "power", and she used her mojo to make her sons not able to hurt each other, because she cares about her sons and doesn't want them to hurt each other. I don't think theres much more to it than that? Jacob touched each of the candidates too so they couldn't be hurt, I'd assume the mum's thing was something along the same lines. Personally, I think the more they tried to explain it the worse they made it, I would have been happier if it all just stayed weird and unexplained, rather than get all quasi-religious and mystical. |

Huh? No f***ing way it was. Ben thought he was following jacob, but the whole time was being manipulated by the smoke monster he even said in the 3rd last episode "i thought i was summoning the smoke monster, turns out he was summoning me" (or something to that effect) ben only came to realise he was following the MIB after he killed jacob Jacob's and Smokie's mum said she made it so they could never hurt each other. Never found out how. This is non essential to the story, however... who ever is protector of the island can create rules.. for example, jacob made the rules about who can come and who can leave the island, so its possible his mother made a rule that jacob and his brother couldn't hurt each other. either way it doesn't really matter that much. Why was there some convoluted plan to get Locke back to the mainland, have Ben kill him and then bring Locke's body back on a plane just so Smokie could become Locke? Why couldn't he just possess an already dead body on the island? And what happened to Smokies original body? Once again this was the mib manipulating ben. He needed locke's body because locke was made leader of the others and ben was told to follow his orders... so it was easier for the mib to manipulate ben that little bit further to kill jacob. I can't remember what season, but it's the one where Kate and Sawyer are in those dumb cages. Jack asks Ben something something and Ben says, "do you honestly think I'm going to tell you?". I can't remember the question but it was something stupid you never found out. It's not clever writing, it's sloppy. And like jayman was saying, there were a lot of us watching from the start and expecting to get some answers and come 6th season, they just completely ignore everything and go with some lame purgatory line. I can't answer that question because i can't specifcally recall the question. For a show with this much lore they sure treated the fans pretty s***ty. And the whole, "well it was really about characters, not story", that's a slap in the face. It was always about the survivors, from the very get go... you are dellusional to think otherwise. |

Do you seriously want another moment where architect from The Matrix pops up and explaining the powers behind the island? Thats because his brand of cigarettes doesnt matter to the show, some people are looking too far into the explanations and start asking how, when, where and why behind an answer thats been shown. Yes there was stuff that could have deserved some explanation, but it probably ended up not being relevant to the story when fans started asking questions about that particular mystery. |

What are the fundamentals of storytelling then, do share? Because I'm not sure you could really apply the typical three act structure to an ongoing tv series over 6 years, especially when actors are going to leave, or new ones come on, and your story is going to have to change to accomodate it. If you look at the overall arcs that the main characters follow though, its pretty typical "Hero's journey" type stuff, especially in Jack's case. |

I think the main problem with the lost ending was that it answered a question that was never asked in the previous 5 seasons, i.e. purgatory, they just introduced it in the final season, and acted if it was a big reveal, while ignoring a huge portion of the island mystery. Kind of like a sleight of hand magicians trick, making you look at one thing and think "oooo" while hiding something else. Also it seems to me it was a bit of a dodgy way of letting them kill off a heap of characters, without upsetting anyone too much. |

They did go against the fundamentals of storytelling. They set up a lot of stuff without ever referring back to it, which is why so many audiences are disappointed. Storytelling is meant to reward people for paying attention.

It was always about the survivors, from the very get go... you are dellusional to think otherwise. How dare you! 8-) Its a science fiction show.... Why do we need to know about how the island works? Do you seriously want another moment where architect from The Matrix pops up and explaining the powers behind the island? Well it would have been nice after watching for 6 years to find out something about it. I reckon it would have been awesome if someone like that dude from the Matrix turned up and answered everything. |

ending = fail is a common opinion amongst fans. and im still waiting for you to point out my spelling mistakes. but, whatever helps you get through the day mate. i dont really care what you think. if you do at all.

Maybe its a common opinion posted on sites made up of fanbases that avidly picked apart every episode for clues and tried to psycho-analyse every character to get to the bottom of the big mystery, but amongst fans in general, I think theres just as many people who thought it was good, as there was who thought it was bad. It was also very well critically received, and I'd imagine film critics probably have a good grasp of the fundamentals of story telling. In fact, over lunch today when I caught up with a few people, the topic of conversation turned to Lost, and I was getting ready to defend my opinion on why I thought the finale was good, and yet they both agreed with me and thought it was a great way to the end the series. Everyones entitled to their opinion, and thats what makes threads like this so interesting, hearing all the different opinions and the different theories and the different rants, but don't try to sell your opinion as the only one or the overwhelming majority, because its really not. |

^ yeah, i enjoyed the show on a week to week basis. its only when thinking of the series as a whole (say someone who hasnt watched it and buys the boxset on dvd. quite an investment for a show that a lot of people feel has a tacked on ending)
that i notice its flaws. at face value, lost is brilliant. but i dont think you could rewatch it and notice little things that suggest that they are in purgatory a la patrick swayze in ghost. people in this vid are lame but bring up some common opinions. |
