anyone else into this show?
my girlfriend bought the dvd the other day and watched about five episodes straight.
i said "no way" and sat on the computer with my headphones on.
so next day, while she was at work, i popped in disc one.
i am now twelve episodes deep.
anyone else?
agstn
yeah, i ignored all the hype during the original run of the season, but totally got hooked on the reruns this spring...i think its a very well done show. hope this year is just as good...season premeire is WED.??--or maybe week after next.
also i 'm addicted to the 'new' battlestar galactica , its actually really good i think, but helps if you saw all the story from the 1st episode , sorta confusing if you didnt.
BTW, Aug.--have you been watching your wife host 'rockstarINXS'...she does a great job at looking fine while talking.
yeah. i do this little thing with her that we call...
"where is the cue card".
aaahhhh.... the kids go nutz for that game!
i didnt see one episode of lost when it aired, originally, but now am waaay deep in it.
same goes for arrested development.
anyone else down with AD?
i saw the first season on dvd, but cant hit up the third until the second comes out
on oct. 11.which is after the premiere of seas III.muthafuckbaggs!!!!
i could get seas II online, but that would be cheating!
ag.
we got another long islander on our hands!
anyone watch any of the HBO shows?
i am enjoying their new one, Rome. but really love The Wire! also Six Feet Under (its over now, but it was excellent). i'm actually not a fan of the Sopranos.
i also enjoyed this last season of Entourage.
right on , i havent had HBO in years--like since OZ ended... but when i was in VA last winter, i watched the whole season of the WIRE front to back 'on demand' or TIVO or whatever the fuck that stuff is called...
that show is the shit IMO, --crazy dope.
yeah, defintiely a sick show. cant wait for the fall time so that the new season will start
i definitely dig Entourage. i was a hater at first cuz a ton of my friends were into it, and followed it, but i actually sat and watched it and its pretty good. i like how they make it a drama about the music business 'n stuff
Funny, I watch HBO almost exclusively (and even that's limited). I do like Lost more than most other crap though too. I've cought entourage and said "eh". I've never seen The Wire. I have seen many Sopranos and Sex and The City because my wife would always want me to watch with her. I don't care for either of them though...
My favorites...
Curb Your Enthusiasm - Things just aren't this funny anywhere else.
Deadwood - Al Swearengen is going to kick your ass
Six Feet Under - I watched a lot more in the beginning, generally just a great show.
I haven't seen Rome yet, and now have heard more good things. I should check it out On Demand.
But yeah, as far as the networks go, Lost is cool.
Jephrey
Lost rules.
I've been on board since the beginning and just got the dvds to prep for the premier (which is on 9/21, btw)
This show has the most elaborate construction I've encountered in memory. Lots of good shows have complex characters and storylines but this one has the mystery coupled with the recursivness. It makes my brain tingle.
I can't wait. I've had the finale on the dvr since it first aired and watched it several times this summer (just deleted it when i unwrapped the dvd- an early b-day present.)
i am off tomorrow and plan on watching the last seven episodes.
it really is one of the most intricate-woven shows.
ever.
aug.
Does anyone have any theories about the show?
I've been toying with the idea that they're in purgatory, between heaven and hell - let that idea roll around in your head for a while and get back to me. :)
what a good show... what the hell is in the effin hatch???
i just want to see what the junkie guy does with the madonnas. :mrgreen: :-o
I don't buy the purgatory, heaven/hell thing.
There is something powerful at work though
Have you heard the nanite theories?
basically it's about those black clouds that you se late in the season consisting of nanobots, small self sustaining, self replicating robots.
Why they are there and what their presence means, I dunno.
i am john locke.
john locke
I'm looking forward to the division between john & jack
faith vs science
it's thoroughly appropriate given the current state of affairs in our world today.
I really like both characters so i'm torn.
My own beliefs would lead me to follow Jack and make Locke seem to be irrational but...
Locke is a good man to have on your side.
tonite babeeee!! :-o :mrgreen:
---pretty cool.
any thoughts??
WTF was that guy doin down there??--quarantined?
i worked last night but will be able to find the episode around here somewhere, i hope :roll:
aug
damn. that was awesome
dude is infected with the nanos
and he passed them to jack to fix his patient.
they also fixed locke...
i missed the whole first season so i bought it on DVD when it came out.
watched all 24 episodes in four days and holy crap this show rocks!
i am so addicted to this to where i'm gonna have to start up LWA ( Lost Watchers Annonimous )
also, was the man in the hatch the guy from the stadium?
si.
aug
so, any predictions on what is going to go down this week????
does anybody know if all the characters from SEAS.1 are returning... i was sorta thinking that the people that were on the raft were chosen because they didnt renew their contracts or something. :wink:
hurley told me not to open this site......
http://lost-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9
don't go to this site,slim.
don't.
aug
what channel is lost on? never heard a single thing about it.
Love Curb and Entourage, great shows, I will have to check out the wire and rome because I have hbo(only) with ondemand. I like the sopranos and six feet under as well but never watch them. I try not to watch to much tv but I do try and catch family guy or some aqua teen every week. Otherwise curb season premier is on tonight 9central on HBO.
2nite!!! thta kate is one phine piece of ace! some of canada's phinest
The guys on the raft will be back, at least according to the previews for this week. It looks like the storyline could leave them stranded at sea for a few episodes.
What's weird is that there will be at least 2 more new cast-members this season, so there's probably another section of the plane, with more survivors on another part of the island.
My guess is the husband of the black woman is one of them, the other is Michelle Rodriguez (sp?) who was in the bar with Jack before the plane took off.
I read over the summer that one cast member will not be long for the season due to contract disagreements. Who will it be? no idea. I steer clear of spoilers.
ANYWAY
Can't wait for tonight.
i dunno, they didnt do much tonite.
i mean jack, kate, and locke ended up basically rehashing last week...
except what was that shit with the guy making locke put the #s into the computer about??
...and i missed a few episodes last year i think---- what do they know about these others already?--did the french chic tell them some shit , or what??
--are they the ones that took walt??
damn, i'm confused. :?
now, i got to wait another week :x.
if the numbers aren't regularly put into the computer then something BAD happens.
Yes it seems that The Others took Walt.
You should check out www.thefuselage.com
tried to watch that show and had to change after 2 minutes. The wire is pretty tight but it jumps all over the place and has a ton of characters. I can follow along but I couldn't tell you anyones name but method mans character.
So why the hell does he make locke do it? To scare him?
Jephrey
edit: maybe so he doesn't have to put the gun down
yes. so he can keep the gun on locke.
Notice that he scoffed at the idea of leaving the island on a raft?
i didnt notice it the first time around, but my brother pointed out that the shark had the same emblem emblazed upon it as all the food did in the hatch.
anyone one else see that?
aug
the shark?--in the ocean?--had an emblem on it?????
da na.
(that is the JAWS theme song)
da na na na na na anana anaadaananaannan!!!!!!!!
yep the dharma logo was on the shark
WTF?????
I'm lost.
no really, i'm LOST! :-o

:-P
i am gonna make tacos and get into it DEEP!
au
i had chicken faJitas!! :-o
best yet?
ag
yeah, most action...
is it just me, or did they squeeze in a extra commercail break or two?
--i also missed the last 10 min. b/c of unforseen interuption. sons-o-bitches!
what happened at the end?---did saheed fix the computer, or WTF? :?
not only did he fix it, but jack pushed the execute button.
after that locke said that he would "take the first shift".
next week's preview didnt show much...........
just that jin speaks perfect english. :-o
ag
so when is vin deisel showing up??
sorry.
he was in the last ten minutes ,as well!
agst
I have a theory...
1. Jin is affected by the island and has the Locke-esque change.
2. He could speak it all along (nah)
3. He is repeating something that someone said in his best interpretation.
4. I don't think he looked disheviled when they showed him... Flashback? But that would mean he could speak it all along.
More Jin notes. before he ran out to the beach, the others had to hold him for a while. Did he know that Ana was one of them? Why wouldn't he? He wasn't blindfolded?
eerie.
Jephrey
first of all, I just bought a DVD-Recorder, and I already have DVR - so let me tell you how sweet it is to record these, then dump them onto DVD - I'll have the entire second season ready to re-watch the minute it ends!
secondly, it seems like those are'nt "the others" Russo warned about - but are a group of people from the tail section of the plane - and they did'nt have Jack around to keep them civilized, so they've gone Lord of the Flies.
Jin told Sawyer and Michael that he was blindfolded. thats why he didn't see that chick before.
jin has been able to speak English for a while now, I suspect that he learned it
a) for his job (most likely)
or
b) because, he was planning to abandon his job once they 'delivered the watch' in LA
Next week....
Hurley episode.
I am watching season 1 over again (torrenting it from TV recording). I think the awareness of Lost-nuts has increased, so I want to go back to those episodes with that same awareness. At the same time, I'll just torrent this season and watch them over again too.
I don't know the deal with downloading the episodes, I suppose it's the same as recording it from the tv yourself, so I imagine no legal issues.
In the trailer, was Jin well dressed and cleaned up when he spoke? Maybe his wife is having a dream that he'll come around. I am not jumping on the wagon that he could speak english all along. Why would he not have broke it out??? Especially out ou the beach with Sawyer and Mike?

lol
I knew she was gonna be 'it' (tho i don't read spoilers... just seemed obvious.)
I've been dying to ask that same question aug...
The theory that I kinda like is that maybe she was shot but not killed. Although it looks like it, she could have just been hit somewhere else and fainted. Remember, that other chick just went "LOST" right before then...
Sayid does look too pissed off for her to just be injured. He's smart, he'd know if there was a chance of saving her he'd be trying to resusitate her right away.
It became more apparent that she'd be the one as it was a lot of her flashbacks and running off alone. I gotta watch the scene again to see where the bullet wound is.
Jephrey
Can I use a picture of Maggie from The Fog instead? :-D
Great episode, my intrest in the show was starting to wane for a while, but last night it all clicked again.
Here's an audio clip of what Walt said:
http://elitemrp.net/fark/2005/hesaid.wav
well guys...
I finally rented the first few volumes of the first season. I'd never seen an episode prior.
Let me just say that subsequently, my TiVo has been scheduled to record every episode from now on... :wink:
Here is my new favorite LOST theory.
http://www.4815162342.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3377
i thought phish fans were bad..... :?
a
That there is a killer theory.
Thanks for the link.
As for shannon. As far as I'm concerned, she was shot by ana. there's not real reason to believe otherwise unless you're grasping at straws...
I watched the scene again. Yes, she was shot by Ana. That doesn't mean she is dead. She was shot below her right breast (as it appeared to me). Maybe a punctured lung. Maybe dead.
Yeah, she's probably dead, maybe that other chick that went missing will turn up. Maybe that other chick is lost forever and Shannon is dead. Maybe she'll live? It depends on what they mean by "One of these people will be lost forever". Maybe Sayid will go mad.
That theory was massive. With all the thought put into it, it makes you wonder how that theory can't be true.
Jeprhey
http://www.thehansofoundation.org/lep.html
good one last night, folks...
learned lots.
http://www.thehansofoundation.org/khr.html
I thought the gun had 1 bullet left. The trailer for the next showed Anna clearly shooting again??? Another bullet?
Jephrey
That's one magic bullet!
I was about to post about this, and noticed that there was already a thread for it, so I decided to ressurrect it!
Who's excited for tonights lost?
I figure it's not going to be as exciting as the last new episode...which was KILLER...but I'm hoping it is still "pretty good".
Wow. I just read the excellent theory posted about the Hanso foundation/basis of the Island. It is a theory that pretty much backs up what I already thought. The survivors are a part of a scientific experiment of some type. It wouldn't surprise me if that theory is not far from the "reality" of the island. I think it's hilarious that Desmond just ran off into the forest and none of the survivors even seemed to question where he dissapeared too.
Thanks for the link!
its funny, i sorta LOST interest in everything Lost this season... i mean it might help if they didnt discontinously schedule the season with 2 or 3 reruns in between each new ep.
i'm still tryin on decidin whether or not to lose myself for a hour tonite...
all i know is that the SHEILD kicked major ass last night... if you missed this season your Loss, but FYI reruns of the whole series just started on SPike!

A+ all the way around.

Yup, got em all.
High quality, I archive them and also compress them for the iPod :wink:

I think LOST has suffered mildly from some 2nd season blues, but I also think that most people did'nt watch season 1 when it aired; they probably watched it on DVD, and they did'nt really realize that the show unfolds slowly.
I've been watching since the pilot aired and last season there were points where I was ready to give up on it (similar to where we're at now in this season)... just wait 'til the final 5 episodes, I'm sure they'll be very exciting and everyone will be back on the LOST bandwagon.

I've found the last two episodes to be awesome (especially the episode before this weeks...I was super stoked during that one...all about the pregnancy abduction). Next weeks is totally going to be kick ass. I'm more into this season, than I was last season. There have been some SPECTACULAR episodes.
Next weeks episode is going to be BAD FUCKING ASS.
And the ending to this weeks episode was AMAZING.
I did'nt like last night's episode - sometimes episodes feel like a waste of time - everything seems contrived and the show just sucks.
Then you get an episode like Maternity Ward and you're reminded that it's an awsome show and you really have to tune in whenever it's on because it's the best thing on TV in years.

I found a lot of it to be boring, but I figure that Sun's baby is going to be pivotal in the Lost story at a future point.
Btw, the ending to last nights episode was CLASSIC. And next weeks going to be bad ass. As soon as Mr. Gale mentioned the balloon, I knew it was going to be found on the island. I also think he is still one of the others. Starting next week, the show is going to be VERY exciting:)
So you think there is a balloon and he's an other?
I'm sure we'll see the balloon too, but I don't think Henry Gale is an "other" - I just think he had nothing to offer the Dharma Project/Others so they left him alone.

Yes. He seems way too creepy to be simply some guy in a balloon.
The new baby will definately be pivotal in the show...perhaps the most important character of all. We're all well aware of the religious/christian themes in the show and now Sun's baby is like the immaculate conception..island is the father....Discuss.
I'm pretty sure she told Jin that she didn't cheat on him, to not hurt his feelings any further.
I think it's pretty obvious that the father of her baby is the man who taught her english, the hotel manager, her original suitor.

They've been on the island at least 50+ days, I don't think it's possible for him to be the father.

Its too easy though. I like my theory much better. :-D
Also, did you catch when Henry Gale said something like "...these others, those who you think are your enemies..." . I have a feeling he is one of the others...but I think we have the wrong idea about them. Im sure we'll eventually find out... Im not going to stop watching.

Yes...and when he asked about the equipment and the cereal in the bunker...he asked "Don't you want to know more about them" in a way that implied to me that he had the knowledge and was taking satisfaction in the fact that he knew things about the island that they did not.
My alternate theory is that Rosseau is always right (does anyone have proof otherwise?), and she said that he's an other and that for a long time he will lie (they keep showing that in the recaps).

Your right, according to wiki...the first episode of the second season is 44 days in....which was clearly at least a week ago. (Lost time)
And I agree that Rosseau is always right about facts concerning the island...
I still think she is an other.
Also, from my studies of what wiki says about pregnancy...
She is fairly normal for a pregnancy that is two months along. She just started morning sickness. The only other sign she would have noticed before now is an interruption in her menstral cycle. I think he behavior is indicative of someone who was sure that the baby was because of her cheating...and I'm pretty sure that she believes the theory that I posited.
While it is less CERTAIN than I thought originally, I'd say that there is at least as much of a chance that it is the Hotel guys baby as there is that it isn't.
Interesting Jesus theory however. I dig that kind of thinking... and I kinda hope you guys are right:)
Oh... I don't think Rousseau was correct about the illness.

I think that we learned in Maternity Ward that she's not just crazy, so I think she's right about the infection/illness stuff - the others are infecting people, and infected people will die.

We also learned in maternity ward that she thought her daughter was dead...and we were led to believe she's erroneous about that...that her daughter in fact is with the others. I think we learned in maternity ward that she isn't ENTIRELY crazy, but I think her relevations to the groups are too manipulative to not have an ulterior motive.
For example, why would she tell the survivors about the other in the net, if she didn't expect them to cut him out and hold him hostage?
Why would she come back just as the baby is sick, if she didn't want to lead them to the bunker?
I think we will find out more about the supposed "sickness"...but I do think that her presentation of the sickness is a "red herring".

I'm not so sure that's the case - when did she say her daugher was dead? Rosseau's character is very cryptic - the things she says can be interpretted differently and are often not what you think - one good (and simple) example was "the black rock".

True. But, until we learn otherwise...I still think she's wrong about the illness.
You think she's wrong about people being infected?
I thought they made that pretty clear that's what was going on when Ethan was giving Claire needles. The reason Rosseau's daughter is alive is because she's been given the vaccine.
What's really stupid is that Desmond, the guy who was in the hatch at the beginning of S2 has just disappeared (and now he's on 24). Talk about a useless character twist - they should've actually done something with whomever was in the hatch when they opened it.

Yes it is! AND EVERYONE JUST ACCEPTED HIS DISSAPEARANCE. I keep holding out hope that he'll show up later on.

I actually think it is very unclear what was going on when Ethan was giving Claire needles.
Why were they going to kill Claire to take her baby?
If she was giving Claire's baby a vaccination against an illness, and they didn't have enough vaccine for Claire, why isn't anyone (Claire included) sick?
What is the others motivation to make people sick?
The more I think about, the less clear Ethan and the others actions in the medical unit of the island make sense.
Hopefully these will be explained later.
People are'nt sick *yet*. I have a feeling people will start to get sick at some point - of course this is based on my "everything Rosseau says will come true theory".

Yeah, the more I think about it...the more I hope lost doesn't fall on its face.
It seems really directionless now...they have to figure out what's going on and quick.
For example, Sun's baby won't be born until at least 6 years from now....That's a long time to wait for it to be the jesus of the island.

??????????????????????????????
star wars is a movie.
and how much of the current series have you seen?
it has stellar writing, acting, plot twists---drama-period. trust me i watch alot of TV, i know a winner when i see it.
not sure what a 'sheild fluffer' is, but it is consistently one of the best all around shows on tv. now if cops arent your thing... even muderous theifing ones, than i can see not diggin it, though personally i am a LAw and order, NYPD blue, Homicide life on the street, etc etc fan all the way, and the sheid reigns supreme currently unless you include HBO programming.
LOST is for lightweights. :wink:
I liked Battlestar Galacctica the first time...when it was Battlestar Galactica. (I remember watching it when I was a wee lad with my Dad).

haha. the original battlestar gallactica is regularly criticized for ripping off the star wars movie. Even the name "Battlestar" is eerily similar to Star Wars. The Star Wars movie appeared in 1977 and Battlestar appeared in 1978.
As to the shield, I'm not a fan of cop shows....you pegged it right there.
Although there's a look on Sun's face, and it's possible that the guy in the hotel is the father, I think the island "cured" Jin as it allowed Locke to walk again.
OOPS... I'll edit before a reply. I don't think her and Jin have been intimate. He does say it's a miracle. She either has that look because of hotel boy, or she's scared of her immaculate conception.
I think Henry is a scientist. But I also think he came in on a balloon. That's his out. He may be a degenerate scientist. None of the "others" ever got caught by Rousseau's net. Why? Because they know. There was a look on his face when Sayid finally left the cell, like a look of victory. I think there's something different with him, hes not just a scared balloon traveller. If he was, the group should employ him to make a balloon. And he could even be using logic on Locke and John. They will find the balloon, and he's already given them the idea that if they do, he's innocent.
What pisses me off most about the show is that everyone has something to hide (except me an my monkey). And in doing so, they hide other information. If they pooled their information, it'd be so much easier to get along.
Next week does look cool, for whatever reason, the hatch shuts down. I wonder if Henry has something to do with the timer running out. How would he know that it's important? I think he knows that if he lets it run out, something that would benefit him may come out of it. Hmmmmmmm.
Just some thoughts.

Goin to the bar to see it on the big screen!
QuoteThey will find the balloon, and he's already given them the idea that if they do, he's innocent.
Ha, I knew this guy was a fake. So, Locke rattled off the numbers for the computer pretty fast and not only did he remember them, but did after he was passed out. I also think that being a scientist or whatever isn't totally bad. Unfortunately, I think that Sayid is going to kill him (Like Charlie killed Ethan) and no information will be able to be extracted.
So the new food comes in by parachute, and nobody heard a plane? I gotta get a screenshot of what locke saw on the wall.
Damn good episode, but they need to tie up at least one loose end soon. I don't want this thing to drag any more than it has.

BREAK OUT YOUR BLACKLIGHTS!
we're having a 70s party--lost style!! :mrgreen:
wow! i'm back on the lost bandwagon...
that was my fav ep. of this season.
i still feel like i'm dosed... :-o
...or maybe the whole thing was just my subconscious trying to wake me up from my coma...... :|
If the shows finale includes Hurley waking up from a dream...Im asking CBS for all the wasted hours of my life back.
Honestly, I like the direction the show is heading...Id love to get a good look at the blacklight map in the hatch.
You know, it leads the hurley dream story a little too much. that does seem like it could be the whole thing... I think a little too much though. We don't know enough about Libby's past. Maybe she was in that same place and she herself doesn't want to talk about it. Maybe that's partially why she identifies with Hurley.
Anyway. In the next episode, I think "Henry" gets what he wants, and unfortunately the losties are unorganized about it and something bad happens.
I just had a thought. Maybe they're all in a dream? Like total recall, where everyone is in a dream and the others are just screwing with them. to see how they react because they can read their minds.
pictures of the map here http://www.blackrock.nl/content/view/24/42/ (http://www.blackrock.nl/content/view/24/42/)
Thanks for the link Jeph. Mad Karma...
Jephrey, where do you download the Lost torrents at? Torrentspy?
Just reread the thread...torrentspy it is.
I MISSED LAST NIGHTS EPISODE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS THE BEST ONE EVER.
I'M SO DAMN PISSED.
I liked the previous one, but "last night's" was good. I think it was mentioned here earlier on but at http://www.thefuselage.com (http://www.thefuselage.com) there's mad discussion. That's where I get some ideas from. Once in a while, you run across some really good theories.

Wait, he shot himself in the chest at the end, right?
HOLY SHIT!
He shot himself in the arm. Showed him alive in the next. Looks like things start to break down. Also looks like Michael gets caught because he's sitting in the locker. There's speculation that Libby lives because she's holding something, but 2 bullets to the gut is tough. Maybe that's how they know it's Michael.
Remember what Michael said, "I'll do ANYTHING" to get Walt back. I think he made a deal.
How about the Hanso commercial? Totally crazy. This show has got me worked up. Good stuff and a really crazy episode.
JF
If Libby doesn't live, then both the people who got DUI's recently would have been cut out of the show.
"There's speculation that Libby lives because she's holding something, but 2 bullets to the gut is tough. Maybe that's how they know it's Michael."
Also a good point, can't wait to try see what happens next...
Intense ending
I think you're right Jephrey, Michael made a deal
Didn't see this one coming
i thought it was something along the lines of michael had been brainwashed or whatever and joined the others clique, and he was sent to eliminate the balloon guy for failing his mission... he shot himself in the shoulder to make it look like a self defense struggle...
all i know is with Ana lucia gone, the # of hot chicks has takin another loss... all i got now is the asian chick. :-(
You don't dig kate VASlim? I still think she's hot.
I don't believe that all michael came back for is to kill nothenry. Why kill AL then?
I also don't think he needed to be brainwashed. He'd do ANYTHING to get his son back.
the others don't live in tents, and they're not lightly armed. they gained more than 2 weapons from the losties remember? I don't think Michael even knew about that. they also don't have their costumes (unless they've been restocked), and I certainly don't believe they'd be living in tents. I think Kate and Jack realized this (she did tell him that the girls found the costumes) when they went for the guns.
Prediction:
Michael gets busted. I think that Kate/Jack/Locke/maybe Sawyer run back to the hatch and find Henry fleeing, maybe even kill him. Then find Michael in the hatch with a dead AL and a seriously wounded, but not dead Libby. I think it'll be a Libby flashback episode as she's dying and it'll explain her stay in the mental hospital. Maybe Hurley will remember too. Libby will be able to say enough before dying (maybe even be around for a few more episodes)... That Michael did it. Or maybe Henry will give it up if he's caught because Michael's mission (Kill AL) is done and they aren't planning on returning Walt anyhow (Michael/Walt is supposed to be tied up by the end of this season). There's obviously more with the plane and the statues and Eko falls. I'm speculating that this is a dream (I called the Jin speaking english dream if that helps you go along with me on this one). I heard that 2 people die. I think it'll be AL and Libby, not Mr Eko, although Libby could live and Eko could die... I think there's more with him/charlie and the church though.
Any other predictions?
Yep, watched it again. Michael really doesn't want to kill AL, but has to to get his son. You can tell. Libby is just wrong place/wrong time. One bullet is lower gut, one is hip. Totally possible that she survives. Maybe nothenry knows what to do, maybe not.
I gotta see next week's preview again.
I've heard a bunch of things that are probably spoilers so I don't want to say anything - other than last night was CRAZY and the rest of the season is gonna get WILD!
I basically posted what I heard as spoilers and don't have any issue with (and would like) hearing more. PM me if you don't want to spoil it for others, and if you wouldn't mind. I'd appreciate it. Can we incorporate a spoiler font???

Libby is in the final episode in a flashback with Desmond!
Try "breaking strain" for the hanso website
like ohmyfawkingawd, i wish it was next week already!! :-o
It was col. mustard in the bat cave with the marsupial.
There I saved you a whole week!
i wanna see Sahid f-- some mofos up!! :mrgreen:
I found the transcript for this week and it was dead nuts. Even reading it, nothing groundbreaking. Freaked my wife out when right before Sawyer's line, I said... "Because you're probably the closest thing I've ever had to a friend". So nothing really new. There was speculation that it'd be a little boat, or something in the water. My guess was on it being the ferry for the Pearl hatch, now that Locke put his paper through the tube. But I hear Desmond will be back. My guess now is that he's on the boat, maybe dead. I think he ran from the Hatch, found his boat, and couldn't sail away, ended up drifting back.
Cool theories are that Michael is bringing those 4 because the others will attack the rest of them and take over that part of the isle (and they're not worried about killing the rest of them). I hope Sayid has some good ideas. Maybe him and Jin will take the boat around and flank those bitches. I wonder if Henry will be back?
Lot of stuff expected to be tied up in the closer next week!
alright 2 hrs of my life better not be wasted tonite...
i'm hoping i still have enough energy left afterwards to get my butt out of the house and down to the Tea Leaf Green show at the bar...
i hope thats not a 2 hr waste of time either... have no idea what they sound like, just that certain heads here have said they are good... :|
AHHH..I had to play hockey..caught the last 15 min. so Im a bit confused. My wife wont tell me anything. Where can I get episodes of LOST?
im sure you can get lost at mininovadotorg or thepiratedbaydotorg

Thanks guys.
I didn't really like the episode.
Did the hatch really "explode". What if it was just a huge reversw in electrical magnetic forces and that's what threw the hatch door? I didn't hear an explosion. What if the magnetism took away physical ailments like Rose's cancer and locke's ability to walk.
Not much else new revealed.
Sure, the tubes go nowhere, and Desmond most likely brought down the plane.
Penelope (Des' girl) has enough money to find him. I think she's paying those dudes to watch the area where his boat was last seen. Maybe she set up Libby with the boat (which had a tracking device) and knows kinda where he is. Interesting. I don't know what the Widmore's have to do with anything. In an electric field, there are places where the lines are null (maybe at 325 degrees) from the Pala Ferry launch. I bet the rest of them can be saved if they take that route with the sailboat, but we may never know that.
I wonder if this is something like atlantis? How about that foot carving?
And yeah, you can watch the episode on abc.com.

honestly i was dissapointed,,,,,,,,, :|

I don't think it exploded, after all, Charlie survived. They're not going to kill off Locke, Eko and Desmond.

We learned why the button has to be pushed, that seems somewhat signifigant. We also learned that it's not a psych experiment but that the island, the button and the Losties all have a purpose.
We also learned that the world outside of the island still exists (which has been a question from ep1), and that people are looking for them (the Russians in the arctic).
Widmore "tricked" Desmond into this race (probably with Libby's help) around the world with the intention of stranding him on the Lost island, thereby leaving him somewhere he could'nt be found and could'nt leave. Also, Libby is probably going to turn out to be someone signifigant who probably conspired with Widmore to get a number of those people on that plane so they could crash it there for whatever reason.

Well, that was sortof a reversal because prior to the episode we were supposed to believe that The Swan hatch was an experiment and The Pearl was an observation of that experiment - turns out that The Pearl was the experiment - that was cool.
I liked how they tied it all back to the series premiere with Desmond bringing down the plane after he killed his partner (same actor/character who played the US Army general in Sayid's flashback).
Lots of cool stuff going on, next season should be great.

I agree. It was kind of weird, Charlie just kind of appeared. I thought he was right in the hatch with them (or close enough) when Des was turning the key.

I suppose that we did learn why the button had to be pushed, and I would say that that's definitely significant. It would seem that Desmond could have convinced Locke to wait another 108 minutes. He didn't really try that hard. It was also more than stupid of Eko to sit in a tunnel with dynamite. But we still didn't learn exactly what happens when you don't push the button. Did Desmond eventually get the computer to take the numbers and the counter reset during his system failure? If Desmond didn't turn the key, what would have happened? It sucks that a whole slew of questions is now raised (although some may be revealed right away in season3).
I heard that those accents were Brazilian. I also hear that Antarctica/South America is very light in their magnetism properties. And I agree, that totally debunks a lot of theories of them being in another time/place.
I don't think Widmore tricked him, although he could have. It did seem like Libby was set up though. I was guessing that Libby was set up by Penelope, with a boat that had a tracking device. His situation with getting to the island was kind of coincidental in that he passed out on the thing, but a lot of it could have been automated. I like your theory here. Seems pretty solid.
Finally, right after the Pearl hatch eppy, I speculated that the Pearl was the experiment due to the camera in it. I wonder if they'll ever get all those tubes and look them over? If I was Hurley, I'd make a stop and see what's written. you could get a good view of some things. I wonder why Desmond didn't try to show the map to John again. I wonder what caused the blacklight? I wonder why kelvin had to do it by memory and couldn't invoke the blacklight? Did he know it was there? Did he think he was being watched?
I suppose after looking at a lot of speculation and some spoilers, I was kinda numb to this episode, but unfortunately it just replaces questions with new ones, and is still kinda vague on the answers it gives.
Jephrey
In the final Lost podcast they said that next year will focus a little bit on the archeology of the island (the 4-toed statue, etc), and that next season will still focus on the main characters (Jack, Kate, Locke, etc).
Also next season will be 6 episodes followed by a long break, then the final 17 in a row. Cool with me!
tomorrow........
who's in this year?
I've been watching since it was an obscure pilot on ABC... can't stop now!

i was somewhat distracted, so i really couldnt follow what exactly was going on, but man... talk about weird.
my curiousity is peaked-- i'm in !! 8-)
yeah-interesting. can't figure out where it's gonna go. my own theory is that these guys are conducting social experiments on the new "prisoners".
Seems to me like they almost want to 'tame' them.
Great episode, had me glued to the screen from the opening scene... I know people on another board who just want answers to the "questions" but the reality is that the intrigue and mystery which surrounds The Others and The Island are what makes the show so good!
Also, unlike most TV shows, almost all the acting is very strong.

My thoughts exactly. It seemed as if they were putting the 3 prisoners in different situations to see how they would re-act. I thouhght it was a very good epsiode and i cant wait to next week. It will be interesting to see how Saide? and Ecko react to Sawyer and co. being captured and what they do to free them. The animal cage w/ Sawyer in it was pretty funny and he had some good one-liners. For all they hype Lost receives I thing the 1st episode this season lived up to expectations. And freckles (forget her name) is damn hot.
Hm, I wasn't thouroughly impressed, but I guess all episodes go by pretty quickly.
If that hatch was underwater, even if the water was flowing at a slow rate, there's no way jack and juliet could have closed the door. Hallucination?
It's surprising that the french chick mapped the ENTIRE island and didn't have their camp on it. I'd speculate that their little village is not on the island except for if that's where the bears are kept, how did they get form wherever that place is to the island? Maybe the Hydra connects the 2 places. Obviously, you can't see any other land masses from the island, so whatever.
By the preview for next week, it appears that the others don't really know everything because they're pretty surprised at the sailboat.
I know I'm kinda disappointed because there were almost no answers to big questions, just more raised. I almost don't care about the hatch now, I just want to know what's up with the others. I guess they've got it figured out because they keep me yearning for the next eppy.

The song, "Downtown" which aired in the opening minutes was written by... Tony Hatch.
wasn't crazy about episode 2, but the ending made me think wtf and look forward to next week.
interesting article in the Boston Globe about the Red Sox reference (what else?)
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2006/10/13/giving_themselves_an_out/
I liked 2 over 1. I felt like the story progressed more. Sure there are new questions (why are they breaking up/hauling rocks?). And unfortunately, James let out his assesment and he had to know he was on camera. Maybe he's trying to work a con? Maybe the others are turning his deeds on himself? Finally we get back to Sayid too. It'll be nice to see what happened to Chuck Eko and Locke, but I hope the others get some screen-time next week.
I think this is kind of an attempt at a utopian society gone wrong and they're studying other humans to see if there's a way to truly change behaviors to fit their model.

agreed. Brave New World?
I don't think it's as sinister as Brave New World but... Even the Nazis thought that they were the good guys.
The scene where Henry showed Jack the Red Sox winning the World Series gave me shivers!
Great show.
bummed that Ecco is gone :-(
Apparently he asked to be written out so that he could pursue other opportunities.
shame, indeed.
His character was prideful. in the rather christian-based morality of the show that was clearly a no-no so the nanobot swarm served him up some justice.
He lost both his parents this year and he wanted to move back to his home in London. Art parallels life? The writers probably did that for a reason (Eko leaving to go to London).
Great EP - I can't believe people on other boards are complaining about this season - I think it's been really strong. People seem to think there are zillions of unanswered questions, but I think everything is pretty straightforward.
They're on a crazy/magical/haunted Island with a group of crazy, sadistic, manipulative people who've lived there much longer.
good call matt...
I thought this was the best ep of the season so far.
It was strange that locke saw the nanobots as a white light. Hmmm.
I don't know whether to believe Juliette either. It could all be part of breaking him down. She does seem like she doesn't like Ben, but who knows.
I want them to find more hatches.

They better get Sawyer/Kate to that other shore pretty quick. It shouldn't matter that Jack doesn't understand that it's another island. I'm sure they could make it to a boat and get over there within an hour (not that the walkie would reach). If they actually talked to each other, I'm sure they could figure out a way to get their people off of alcatraz. Oh well, a couple months before we find out eh?

ABC gets -k for making us wait 3 months after last nights episode
Goes to show that people will complain no matter what. The reason there are 3 months off is because people hated the repeat episodes last year - so this year they show it without repeats and people complain...
Still the best show on TV, and Michael Giacchino's score is brilliant every week.
should've put the :wink: icon when I posted that.
actually, i prefer having fewer episodes with great stories rather than have the writers burn the story out with too many episodes, so i respect what they're doing in that regard. and having an entirely different show is better than having reruns.
that said, i prefer instant gratification :-P
I want it NOW!
Seriously, they ought to run it 24-Style...
Bizzump! None of you F-ers watched that! I just saw my first episode, plus the hour primer.
Don't know if it'll rivet me, like the Wire. But that was pretty intense. :-o
I gots Season I downstairs. I might give it a look over the weekend.
My Dad watches this...
I watched that... I'll hold off commenting til the West coast has had it's go.
Until tomorrow, then!
Good call rj. Glad I didn't spoil anything. :-)
So...
Wow.
I knew Ben had something on Juliette but it honestly hadn't occurred to me that she was essentially a prisoner.
And then there's the Brainwashing shit... woah. (notice Carl was in room 23?) Also, what do you wanna bet that some of that brainwashing sunk in?
That brainwashing scene was straight out of Clockwork Orange...nice.
Yeah, I figure that guy Carl will infiltrate the group and cause some havoc...
Looking forward to 15 more episodes
what about the reason they "recruited" juliette- the ability to impregnate a male mouse?
trying to build a master race, imo.
Cloning has come up before as a research area of the DI. I suspect that that is the connection.
I suspect that ben is sterile (possibly the first (only?) Clone, too)
Sooo....
That was one helluva flashback.
either
a) some weird temporal thingy happened and he really went back in time
or
b) he was headtrippin after the hatch blew and the whole thing was in his head and, thereafter he was precognitive
or
c) he has been precognitive all along and otherwise 'b' is correct.
I vote for c.
I'm glad you bumped this thread (I did'nt want to search for it!) - 2 great episodes in a row!
I like C too...
The details in the writing in the show are F*$!ing brilliant
Charlie singing Wonderwall...
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
I did have 2 complaints about the episode - Alan Dale's accent (Widmore) was horrible.
The scenes in London looked terrible - if you've ever walked beside the Thames that area where they were getting their photo taken just did not look right..
Also, during the whole last 15 minutes all I could think about was the lyric from The Flaming Lips song In The Morning of Magicians...
The universe will have it's way

You just can't simulate that aged greyness beneath a south pacific sun.
They have really loaded us up on some stuff in the past two weeks:
The company that wanted to hire Juliette: http://www.mittelos.com mittelos is an anagram for "lost time"
The guard at the brainwashing center was reading Stephen Hawking's book, A Brief History Of Time in which Hawking suggests the possibility of a singularity in which time moved at a different rate than the rest of the universe... (Or something to that effect.) Some have suggested that this sort of time anomaly is in effect on the islands.

Also, during the whole last 15 minutes all I could think about was the lyric from The Flaming Lips song In The Morning of Magicians...
The universe will have it's way
too powerful to master
Of course you know that song is related to this book:
http://www.cafes.net/ditch/motm1.htm
One of the many things in that book is the concept of the Earth being visited and perhaps peopled by so-called 'ancient astronauts;' meaning "Aliens." Also, it talks about the need for a paradigm shift in order to achieve the perfection of humanity. The latter is certainly relatable to Lost and the goals of the Dharma Initiative.

Have any of you guys read Stephen Kings "Dark Tower" series? Desmond's "situation" seems parallel to that of the Gunslinger in the DT books... If you havent read it or are reading it I wont spoil it, but it just seems very similar to me.

Interesting. I'll grab the cliff notes if i have to but, why don't you go ahead and spoil it?
*****Dark Tower Spoiler Alert*****
Well , basically, at the end of the 7th book, the Gunslinger finally reaches the Dark Tower only to realize that he forgot to do one crucial thing along his travels...as he realizes this, he spins back in time and basically his quest begins all over again (page one, book one), and further, this cycle has been repeating itself for eons/eternity ("death...but not for you Gunslinger"). Only, this time, he has all the crucial elements to reach his goal, thus the Series ends on a positive note.
Anyway I see similarities in Desmonds reliving his past, being forced to make the same tough decisions, predestination, deja vu, etc and the DT stories. I remember reading somewhere that the writers were big fans of King, especially the DT and The Long Walk (which share similar characters...many of Kings books were tied together in the DT series).
I love this show :mrgreen:
Anyone see Groundhog Day?
Almost kept reading that post Birdman... I haven't read book 7 yet, but I'm going to start over, because I want to read them all in a row. I like that series. It's kick ass. Touches on SK's other books too, so if you've read those, it's pretty neat to see how all those other books kinda tie in...

AP NEWS WIRE
The show was smart and intriguingly spiked with supernatural and sci-fi twists. It featured hot new stars who graced glossy magazine covers — until the ratings tumbled. So much for "The X-Files," which enjoyed a nine-year run before misguided plots and a time slot change eroded its appeal. Flash forward to today and you'll find its counterpart in "Lost," another spooky, cerebral, sexy show — which may end up killed off before its time.
"`Lost' is the tragedy of the season," said Marc Berman, TV analyst for Media Week Online as well as a fan aggrieved by what he considers ABC's bungled handling of a favorite show. "They really prematurely put the nail in the coffin. It's too late to save it."
The saga of plane-crash survivors stranded on a dangerous and surreal island once drew an impressive 20 million-plus viewers as it helped raise ABC from ratings purgatory, gained cultural-phenomenon status and won the 2005 Emmy for best drama. But eight episodes into its third season, "Lost" has taken a painful nosedive, with an audience of 14.5 million for its Feb. 7 episode and 12.8 million — its lowest ever — for this week's show.
"Lost" will return for one more season, Berman predicted, and then likely sink from sight. (ABC declined requests for comment.)
Like Fox's "The X-Files," "Lost" has been pelted with viewer complaints (especially on many formerly adoring Web sites) about confusing plots and dangling mysteries — who the ominous "Others" are; whether the survivors are part of an elaborate scientific experiment; what is real, imagined, important or trivial. It has endured scheduling changes that were intended to help but ended up hurting, including a prolonged midseason absence that Berman called "suicide" and a move to 10 p.m. EST Wednesday.
Also like "The X-Files," "Lost" proved that offbeat tales and characters can mean a limited shelf life.
"Whenever you get outside one of the big three franchises — cops, doctors or lawyers — and into the more high-concept shows, they tend to burn bright but burn out faster," said veteran network executive Tom Nunan, now a TV and film producer ("Crash," "The Illusionist").
"Our expectations are higher, they're expected to reach greater milestones in a more original fashion," said Nunan, a follower of the show who believes it still deserves hit status.
"The X-Files" managed to maintain ratings growth into season five and didn't crash until its final year, 2001-02. "Lost" is slumping badly in year three.
"Viewers have become very unhappy with the show because they've left people hanging for too long," Berman said. "They've opened up too many cans of worms and haven't resolved enough issues."
Taking the focus away for long stretches from lead characters including Hurley (Jorge Garcia), Locke (Terry O'Quinn) and Sayid (Naveen Andrews) is another fan grievance, voiced even by those who feel warmly toward "Lost."
"You won't see characters for a bit, then you see them again and you have to recollect what was going on," said Chris Becker, 43, of Newport Beach.
But Becker, who admits to a fondness for science fiction, said he intends to stick with "Lost" to the last: "You're this far into it, you want to see how it ends."
That final chapter should have been years off for a property which, along with "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy," helped ABC (owned by Walt Disney Co.) regain ratings traction and buzz. The network tried to protect "Lost," moving it out of the way this month of returning Fox juggernaut "American Idol" at 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Switching "Lost" to 10 p.m. also created a stronger lead-in for lucrative local evening newscasts, important for ABC and its affiliate stations.
"The networks own a lot of affiliates. Strategically, as a business plan it's a little more clever than some people are giving it credit for," said Nunan, who was president of the now-defunct UPN network and worked at ABC, Fox and NBC.
But he dings ABC for failing to provide a strong lead-in for "Lost," which now follows either its own reruns or sitcoms. Another challenge: There's a smaller pool of viewers available during the 10 p.m. time slot than earlier in prime-time.
The series' producers said earlier this year they don't want to outstay their welcome, as they believe "The X-Files" did, and that they were talking with ABC about setting an end date for "Lost."
Certainly, however, no one had anything immediate in mind.

Yup.
But that's not why I do it. Sometimes, brevity is key.
Finally got around to watching this weeks episode... pretty good, the pacing was a little slow and Jack's backstory was useless (I really did'nt care about his tats)...
I don't see the promos but I gather some people were complaining because they said they'd reveal three things and then really did'nt... blame ABC for that, not the LOST people.
This paragraph in EW's review had me rolling on the floor laughing...
QuoteBut let's begin hotly debated hottie guest star, Bai Ling. I'll admit it: while writing this TV Watch brings me joy, when it's late and I'm trying to remember things like who the heck Ethan is (scary dude who kidnapped Claire; now deceased) without the requisite amount of caffeine in my system, I can get a little punchy. Sarcastic even. But was Mystery Everywoman Achara not just a teeny tiny bit ridiculous? Some of her lines — ''Stop asking questions, let's just have fun'' — were pretty bad, and the hair was downright inexcusable. How can she see anything, let alone a person's true self, through those bangs? On the bright side, Achara solved two important mysteries: one, the point at which eye shadow goes from serious to seriously misguided and two, where Dr. Shephard got those tattoos. And thanks to Isabel — the latest Other, eerily placid like so many others — we know what they mean: ''He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us.''
I just watched it last night as well and thought Bai Ling was ridiculous and unnecessary. They spent 45 min. on something that only needed 1 min. to explain. I love the show but I'm starting to get more interested in Heroes.
http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/02/25/is-bad-press-sinking-lost/
Is bad press sinking Lost?
To say that Lost has fallen out of favor with the media would be generous. It seems like every new episode brings with it another article discussing the show's decline in popularity. This week, MSNBC published an AP article which implied that Lost was in the same boat as failing shows like Studio 60. Are these comparisons fair?
As far as I know, there has not been a single rumor concerning the possible cancellation of Lost. So why is there so much doomsday language surrounding the show? The article added that the producers of Lost would have to make some drastic changes in order to save the show, citing Heather Locklear's presence in Melrose Place as an example.
Are stunt casting and heightened sexual tension really the keys to saving Lost? Does Lost need saving? Suggestions like the one above lead me to think that many of Lost's critics are not even following the show, merely examining its ratings.The ratings situation is not even as bleak as some TV journalists would have you believe. Lost has done better in the Wednesday 10pm time slot than any other ABC show in the last nine years. It continues to be number one among adults in its time slot as well.
Lost has certainly hit a ratings slump, but its situation differs from newer, struggling shows like Studio 60. In its first season, the show was a huge hit. Cancellation was never a threat. To group it with a show that never quite caught on is inaccurate. With the right combination of cast, writing, and plot, Lost could arguably regain its footing. "Flashes Before Your Eyes" and "Not in Portland" had low ratings, but were qualitatively better than many previous episodes.
Will quality matter, though, if Lost is getting killed by the press? Would lapsed or new viewers want to give the show a chance after reading about it online? Most viewers would not want to bother with a show that was not expected to last beyond a fourth season. As a fan, I worry that the overwhelmingly negative media attention will discourage interest in the show. An even bigger concern is that the Lost writers will heed bad advice and move away from the elements that made it successful in the first place.
I think part of the reason you see a slump in their ratings is that it was everywhere fro the 1st 1 1/2 to 2 seasons and people where checking it out, but when they realised that the show was a commitment, something that you have to watch once a week (or 6 weeks then wait 16 to get 16 in a row) to be able to fully (kinda) understand what's going on and most people don't want that, they want to passively watch and be pandered to by the likes of Ross, Jerry and Raymond. No thinking involved Television. But those of us who are fans of shows like Twin Peaks and the X-Files, who have made commitments to shows like this, and been disappointed by them, are used to it and the promise from the creators that Lost won't limp away into the sunset like the others is a prospect that I am looking forward to. :-)
i'm trying to play catch up, i am halfway thru the 2nd season on DVD....i effin love the show...
New episode in 10 minutes... I haven't looked at the spoiler boards since the season started back up, although I should look right after the shows. There's usually hidden things that I miss, that people on the boards pick up on. In any case, I'll be easing back for tonight shortly.

This episode?
I'd probably agree, no new mysteries which is good, but nothing really solved. Kind of a feel-good eppy with Hurley and all, but I want to get back to the story.
Looks like next week Locke fucks with the computer again. What is it with that dude?
J
the island is calling him
Fun episode, seems like they got back to basics... it was good to see Vincent again - is that weird?
I was happy to see Vincent again too. That dog is important to the story so I think it's great to see him again.
This episode was a necessary breath of air before we plunge back into the abyss.
WHAT?!£
Wow
That episode melted my face
Like I said... The abyss.
You want something that'll really mess you up?
"Anthony Cooper, Adam Seward" is anagram for "Sawyer, the con man, a poor dad".
Yep. Locke's daddy is the real Sawyer; the conman who killed James (aka Sawyer) Ford's daddy.
Also: When Locke confronts Cooper, demanding to know if he killed Peter Talbot. Cooper claims Mrs. Talbot called off the wedding due to the boy's death, leaving him with no angle to make any profit. While reciting this to Locke, Cooper pours two glasses of McCutcheon Scotch Whiskey, sipping from one and leaving the other full without offering it to Locke, just as Charles Widmore had with Desmond.
Seems like the Man from Tallahassee is a heavy hitter. Maybe as heavily connected to this thing as Widmore?
I noticed the McCutcheon - the anagram is rather amusing though..
Because of the premise and concept of the show when they interweave these characters together it does'nt seem cheesy or contrived - unlike on other shows when they reveal some characters are related it's just stupid or an easy way out.
Hard to believe there are so many more episodes remaining this season - I like this format of 6 in the fall and the rest consecutive in the spring.
"you know it's gonna get stranger, so lets get on with the show"
Stranger indeed...
Good call on that stuff. I really liked the episode. It's neat how these people have come together and you're right, it doesn't seam real cheesy. Maybe because it's so in depth. Some of the characters really dissappoint me though. Just the way people act, keeping secrets, blowing up submarines, etc. (almost as bad as hey, I'm gonna walk alone about a mile into the woods to take a leak, I'm only going to tell you so don't tell anyone else. And the person they're telling that to is going on their own secret piss trek, but not telling anyone). Although they've only been there 80 days, maybe you wouldn't tell your life story to "strangers" that quick, but relationships develop so damn fast and people are in and out in a few days. And everyone is so secretive. What makes that more OK is that we know "they all have something to hide" so nobody is really ready to open up yet. I'll keep watching.
J
In a real-life disaster situation, survivors who are thrown together tend to form quick bonds that are often irrational (compared to more 'normal' relationships) and often lacking in the sort of connection that stems from knowing a person well.
With that in mind, I believe the relationships on the show a bit more. And, given that most of these people found themselves on that plane for reasons that they can understandably consider quite personal (embarrassing, criminal, flat out crazy, out of fear...) Some secrets you just don't tell.
And, why not tell what they found in the healthcare hatch or that they even found a hatch?
Shit. If you fell out of a plane onto a strange island and realized that, instead of dying like you should have you are suddenly no longer paralyzed... You'd have a lot more in the way of questions to ask than answers to offer.
Amazing powers of observation re the Scotch and the way it was poured, and the anagram.
Another part of the puzzle, though, is how does Ben (? devil incarnate) know all this stuff about everyone??
I'm sticking with the theory that his ultimate goal is to create a new civilization.
they are definitely keeping me interested.
Ben is just a pawn.
Well, maybe a bishop.
Either way, this goes over his head.
you think that woman on the show about the tattoo (I forget her name) is the real ringleader? She listened to Ben and gave clemency to the blonde (I'm really bad with names tonight)
"It will be five weeks before viewers see Locke and his father again"
- Lindleloff
"Easter Eggs" from The Man From Tallahassee
The Numbers: Many viewers noticed the presence of the numbers in Locke's flashback. Ben mentioned that Locke had spent four years in a wheelchair before the plane crash. In what was probably the coolest use of the numbers ever, Locke was paralyzed after an eight-story fall.
The Ben Linus Library: The Others either have very similar taste in books, or they only have so many books to pass around. Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time was visible on a table in Ben's house. We last saw Aldo reading that book in "Not in Portland." The work of Stephen King also made another appearance. Ben had a copy of The Gunslinger next to his bed. An interesting choice, since J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof have signed on to adapt the Dark Tower series.
MacCutcheon: As I mentioned in the episode's recap, Cooper poured himself some MacCutcheon Scotch right before giving Locke the old heave-ho. He and Charles Widmore have something in common now, besides being terrible fathers. One fan believes this might be a sign that Cooper was on Oceanic 815, since a bottle of MacCutcheon was recovered from the crash.
The Hamster Portrait: It cannot have been a coincidence that Ben joked about giant hamsters while a portrait of a woman holding a hamster hung on his wall. There has been some dispute as to the identity of the blonde woman in the painting. Some fans think it's Juliet, but others believe the woman resembles Karen DeGroot, one of the original DHARMA scientists.
The Great Falling Man Debate: Quite a few of you were convinced that Locke was the man falling in the background of a Hurley flashback, but this week's episode contradicted that theory. Locke was clearly not the same man who fell in the "Numbers" episode.
I finally watched this weeks episode...big things a happenin.
"Ben had a copy of The Gunslinger next to his bed. An interesting choice, since J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof have signed on to adapt the Dark Tower series."
More Dark Tower stuff, nice...I really loved that series of books and I hope these guys will do it justice. It has the potential to be another Lord of the Rings if they do it right. Heres keeping my fingers crossed.
Kind of a wasted episode.
However, did anyone notice that the theme of the episode was based on Phish?
http://www.sendspace.com/file/u1amqc (http://www.sendspace.com/file/u1amqc)
Heh.
J
it's weird to introduce new characters, just to kill them.
buried alive!
Actually I liked that episode.
We saw some previous events from a new perspective and got a little more of Arnst (sp) who cracked me up.
at the beginning, when 'Nikki' said "I'm a guest star. You know what happens to guest stars," I cracked up... I t was clear how she would end up right then and there.
Also, Paolo watching Ben and Juliette in the Pearl was totally worth it.

Senator Forms Subcommittee For The Watching Of Lost
WASHINGTON, DC—Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) announced the formation of a new Senate subcommittee for the Watching of Lost and appointed himself its chair Monday.
"This subcommittee's mission is to promote viewing and discussion of this riveting ABC series every Wednesday night at my house," said Nelson, who lives alone, adding that membership on the subcommittee is open to both parties, requires no seniority, and is "fun." "In addition, I have been able to secure funding for two large pizzas and one two-liter bottle of Pepsi, and have every confidence that I can acquire more."
Sen. Nelson has asked all attendees to arrive on time, do their best to remain quiet during the show's airing, and stick around to discuss the plot and backstory for "as long as you want afterward."
Good one last night.

It's on earlier in the midwest... :wink: Couple minutes till 9... Review possibly later tonight, hopefully some more background maybe on Juliet episode.
J
Pretty cool... I wonder what Juliet thinks she's going to get out of the situation? Does she believe Ben? Again? Maybe she'll crack and tell Jack as she gets to know the people?
I liked her story even though it was more of some scenes we had seen part of before.
J
After seeing her sister and nephew, Juliet has total faith in Ben's ability to do what he says he will do.
but that was in the past - happened the day of the crash.
since that happened, she told Jack to kill Ben. she killed a guy to save sawyer.
she's not to be trusted, by either side.

All true esp. the last line.
EXCEPT:
Ben is in a far better position to make things happen for her and she knows it.
also true
I will say that she is likely to go whichever way she sees as being her best ticket off the island but,
Ben is that ticket for now and Jack has short time to sway her loyalty. Especially since he doesn't know that he has too.
From Lostpedia -
Quote"One of us": The title of the episode, spoken by Jack to Juliet, echoes the famous line chanted by the circus freaks to Cleopatra upon the occasion of her marriage to the midget Hans in Tod Browning's classic 1932 film Freaks. In that film, the circus freaks chant the line to Cleopatra as a sign of acceptance, while unknown to them she actually only married Hans for his money and secretly finds the freaks repulsive. Ultimately, after her deception is discovered, she is attacked by the circus freaks and left deformed, at which point she truly is one of them.
What about domenique? Didn't she give birth on the Island? If so, then not everyone prior to Claire lost their child/life?
where they doing genetics experiments (perhaps in utero?)
You mean Russeau? (sp)
yeah. but she and claire both conceived before arriving, also.
The upcoming Jin episode is titled "D.O.C."

Conception
I feel that this will be a good one.
yea, should be good.
another thing about last week (my wife pointed out) - Ben was confined to a wheelchair - until the very last scene of the episode. after he was done talking to Julliette, he stood up.
How about that.
Seems he might have played Locke a bit there, huh?
hey guys, just saw this thread.
i'm a LOST lover too.. :banana:
.
...i've just been on the island for the 1st 16 pages of this thread, and its a pretty weak wireless signal. :|
I Love Lost. It is my favorite show. However, it is kills me that I have soooo many questions and no answers. And the questions just keep building and building. Sometimes I feel like they get so in depth with a story and then don't ever go back to it and just leave you hanging. I guess that is what keeps us all watching each week. I keep waiting each week for some of the loose ends even from season one to tie together. It is frustrtating but addicting at the same time. I sometimes wonder if the writers even know what is going to happen.
Yeah, this thread is pretty weak if you read it at once. It's more meant for right before/after a show, like your expectations or initial reaction...
My new theory
Since Widmore/Dharma is happy that their experiment (the others) has gotten what they want (the losties), they covered up the plane crash. I didn't like this week's episode, except that part. I don't think the "electric fence" is dangerous to humans, it just keeps out smokey. Mikhail put on a nice electrocution show for them. Although there's no real answers, things just seem to be coming together.
J
I liked the episode.
I don't think Mikhail put a show on. After treating the sky jumpers pneumothorax, he said "wounds heal quickly here". John walked, Ben walked. There's a special power to the island to heal. That power may have something to do with pregnant woman dying - interfering with the cycle of life, nature avoiding overpopulation, hard to bring in new life if old life is hard to die off.
Good call. Maybe it's like a place where time "stands still". Maybe life can't be created there becsuse it's like the matrix. They gassed everyone on the plane and put them in a matrix/total recall device and are implanting memories.
J
10 minutes...
I think tonight is going to be good.
J
I'm sticking to my Matrix in reverse/Total Recall theory. None of it is real. I'd guess that when they die, they wake up at a secret Dharma location. Dharma staged the flight crash and anyone that gets near, their death is staged in the real world and they "take a pill" and get into the matrix. Smokey is a computer glitch and when they're in the "others" camp where smokey is kept out, they're actually in the apple server portion of the computer.
Did most on the flight put the mask on??? Juliette took a pill. "Tom Sawyer" said the IV went in and a guy was smiling at him and he woke up there. Desmond was just Pen's BF that her "connected" dad didn't like so he got him taken care of.
Only thing is that Pen saw a blip in the ocean. Maybe they're being held in an underwater facility like atlantis?
Just my theories
J
Ok folks... the clock is ticking and the season is running in high gear toward the finale'.

I haven't read this one yet but, Doc Jensen's day-of articles are usually a good read...
No spoilers, just teases.
how about the news that there will be 3 more seasons of 16 episodes each? The show will end in 2010. DAMN!
J
I wish it was 66 or even 72 more eps, but I think having a determined ending point is awsome.
I would have liked 48 but in 2 seasons. I am satisfied with what we got though... And after reading that interview, I feel better about them knowing where they're going and how they'll get there.
J
I think 72 more episodes would be too much. To think that we're only halfway through this story would be troublesome. I like that we're past the halfway point.
I just hope that they don't forget to include so-called "filler episodes" that are easy on the plot twists and turns and more focus on fun, like Hurley and the VW.
Yeah, those are nice.
After last week's episode I can't imagine someone at all into the show not being excited for tonight. Just 10 mins... :beers:
it just began.
enjoy the show!!
Woah!
I'll reserve comment til the Left Coast sees it but, Woah!

eh... Mediocre episode, but a good stage for the finale. I bet we'll be left with the new hatch, which I also imagine won't be resolved until next season. Whatever happens with the 10 guys that go to the camp, we saw in the previews that jack's group meets up with ben's group. I wonder what happens with Juliet if she's there for the encounter.

i wouldn't be suprised if chucky does bite it. most rock stars do die young, don't they? :|
Charlie's already dead, remember? Chick said that had a memorial concert and all that. I'm betting he lives.
As for that hatch, it won't outlast the finale, imo (which, btw is called "Through The Looking Glass".) Next season is all about the island itself, it's mythology and history (remember the 4-toed statue?); including the hostiles.
Not to say that hatches won't be present but, there is more change a-coming next week.

agreed
I think John's still alive too
I think "someone" covered up the "plane crash" to make the world think they are dead. So although they had memorials for everyone and such, they're really still alive.

Good ep, nice to see hotties working in The Looking Glass. 8-)
That's what this show needed, more hotties. :-D
Spoiler, highlight to read:
Sounds like Locke is alive and well and that him and Jack have a showdown in the finale. People are guessing that there are 2 groups, people who want to stay, and people who want to leave. If Jacob is the island in a way, maybe its somehow not getting what it wants and needs help. I think Jacob told Ben to shoot Locke (not to kill him) but so that Locke's faith in the island and Jacob could be brought to the forefront. I also hear that there will be at least one regular that dies.
Another possible spoiler:
Charlie won't be in season 4... so I guess he's gonna die
I wish I didn't know how this show ended.
Final episode Questions and specualtion
1. Will Charlie die?
-We see Des in that hatch in the preview. He goes in. He seemed timid when he told Charlie he would die by drowning, so I don't suspect that's the way he goes, or if he goes at all. Second crazy thing someone brought up. When Des was flashing forward about Naomi in the parachute, I believe he saw Charlie die (arrow in the neck), then saw him again when they were getting the chute out of the tree. Both can't be right... This means, possibly, that the flashes are so Des actually does save Charlie, and he's just being shown these things so that he can save Charlie and Charlie can fulfill whatever destiny is his.
2. Is Locke dead?
-All sources point to no, and I hear there will be a showdown between him and Jack.
3. Does anyone die?
-My sources say yes, a bunch of the others who come to the camp to get the preggies (maybe half), but if any major characters die, it's unclear.
4. Who is Jacob?
-We won't learn any more this season I hear, so we'll get to discuss this for 9 months coming up.
5. Will the helicopter show up?
-I don't think we saw anything definitive in Des' flash that any people in particular would be gathered and "saved".
6. Who is Naomi?
-Lots of speculation, most that she isn't working with Pen, but maybe looking for someone else in a weird twisted partially related way. Or possibly that she's pulling a Ben. I doubt she could control her lung puncture or whatever so it's unlikely but who knows.
7. Is Juliette truthful?
-Or is her apparent side switch planned? You'd think she's truthful, as well as Jack because of how they acted as the group was coming early (Which it appears that Ben planned at the last minute)
What are your guy's thoughts and questions?
J
Everyone wakes up in their total recall chair which happen to be all connected. The people who died are labotomized.
Or they all wake up in the "reality" of the matrix. Their recent stint was just a different locale programmed by the matrix.
One of those.
J
Sorry man, your Matrix theory doesn't fly in this town...
Not with me, at least.
Yeah, I thought of something that most likely debunks it, and that's that the EMP from the hatch was seen by those dudes in the arctic who are in the "waking world".
I'd still like to hear anyone else's theory. Is it just an island with magical powers and a group of "hostiles" that the DI was studying?
J
I anticipate developing a full-blown working theory come next week, I've got several notions but, since tonight is the last episode for seven months, I'll allow them to debunk what I've got TONIGHT then I'll spend 7 months thinking I'm right.
I'll try to do the same. I'll try to debunk you and you can try to debunk me.
J
The more I see/hear the word "debunk", the more it sounds like a funny way to describe kicking someone out bed.
the pre-show special is on NOW. its the producers talking about the show & behind the scenes.
I'm at work and can't watch it until I get home, but I hope that it's better than "The Answers" special that they aired last week and did/lt tell you anything just reiterated (sp) all the questions that people had about the show to date.
edit: i can't see charlie dying.
charlie will def die tonight :|
there i said it.
well......
what did we all think of the grand finale?
:clap: or :-P
:-o or :?
:frustrated: or :samurai:
WOW... It wasn't until later, after the show, that I realized that something didn't really jive 100%
Jack's dad died before the flight home from Sydney... Jack identified his body.
Then later off the island, Jack says something like, you go upstairs and get my dad, and if he isn't drunker than I am...
I assume that the casket was one of the others or losties.
I just have no clue now... RJ, did you get any confirmation or debunking tonight?

My guess is that it was Ben or Juliette, but most likely Ben. The only other possibility would be Locke, that is unless some one else went horribly horribly wrong after what happened tonight.
On the whole my impression is :clap: and :frustrated:, and that's exactly what they were shooting for. But most of my frustration is that we have to wait 9 f'n months to find out anything new, I have all three seasons on dvd, but watching those and Heroes over and over until then is only going to drive me further insane!!!

How about the prescription being from his dad? I know, he said don't bother calling his office, maybe he just had prescriptions laying around.
But still, is Jack that messed up to do it a couple times in the show?
I'd guess that the casket was Juliette. I don't think Jack would have been that upset if it was Ben, unless he thought that Ben may be a chance to get back to the island. And Juliette was one person that Kate's reaction was suitable for.
I wonder who Kate had to get back to, maybe she gets with sawyer and he doesn't allow her to see Jack. I don't think so.
i think my goal this summer is to somehow catch up completely on the show.
cause i got into it in the very beginning, then work conflicted.
but it seems to be getting better and better.
and i have friends who called me at midnight, just to tell me about it and what they think.
maybe next season I'll have a clue....
excellant finale! "just when I think I'm out they pull me back in"
dammit. i had to bartend last night, and i made everyone in my bar wait for commercial breaks, and everyone was good until the boss came in and demanded to watch the NBA playoffs, which weren't even on. thank god for TiVO. i just have get some time to sit at work and watch it. so the jack with a beard was a flash forward? i must have missed that.
walt has really grown up....
Flash forward.
the funeral home's name: Hoffs/Drawlar is an anagram for Flash forward.
No. My theories aren't entirely debunked but they need some serious review. I may try and write some things up this weekend.
My initial reaction to the show: "Holy Fuck"
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20040061,00.html
Best line of the series:
"That was for taking the kid off the raft"
great episode. Have to think about it.
I agree I think Kate was with Sawyer.
An unpopular opinion - I think that would have made a great final episode.
Can't wait for the new season to start.
the coffin seemed small, did it not?
kate is scandalous...she's over sawyer...maybe BEN?
hmmm...again thank god for TiVO, i'll watch it again tomorrow.

Lost Redux: Damon Lindelof Breaks "Radio Silence" to Reveal Why Charlie Died and More
So...whoa. Now you've seen it. (And if you haven't, you shouldn't be reading this!) Lost's mind-blowing season ender in which the rattlesnake popped out of the mailbox, the series turned upside-freaking-down and the producers bitchslapped us into a whole new off-the-island era.
Holy. Freaking. Wow. Could that just have been the best episode ever of the entire series? I, for one, have never been more into Lost than as of this moment (a terrifying thought) and loved every single nanosecond of it.
Kate and Jack got off the island, but leaving was a "mistake." Say whaaaa...?! Jack desperately wants to go back. Say double whaaaa...?! Kate lives in the 310 (LA's West side) and drives a Volvo? Bonkers!! And we have to wait till February to find out what happens next? Well, that's just cruel.
Thankfully, in an attempt to quell our postfinale jonesing for answers (I'm shaking like Jack in the pharmacy), my favorite TV mastermind to date (don't tell Trump) took time out of his busy schedule to tackle some of the fans' biggest Q's in a round of False, True or Hell No, I Won't Tell You and, more importantly, give the official word on why he killed Charlie.
But first, the reason this interview will prove to be a very rare thing in the coming months, as the Lost bosses enter what they're calling "complete and utter radio silence"...
Damon, first, I want you to know that last week, I hated me. I hated people who do what I do, because it honestly broke my heart that the huge "flash forward" twist of the finale was spoiled on a Website. I know you were trying extremely hard to protect that.
It was unfortunate. I think there will always be people who want to turn to the last page of the book, but I feel that those people are almost universally disappointed with what they read there, because if it's cool, they don't understand the context, and if it sucks, they feel like they've saved themselves time. But no one skips to the end of life. You have to live it, and it's just disappointing to me that people don't respect the integrity of the show enough to let it unfold naturally. There is a fine line between intriguing the audience with what's to come and giving them the whole shebang. And I feel the line was crossed with the finale this year, and it's really disappointing. Which is why, if we're going to talk about these things, I would at least like to come to you, because I know you'll handle it responsibly and not cross that line.
How are you dealing with the Spoilergate aftermath?
Well, with regard to season four, Carlton and I are going into complete and utter radio silence. I know a lot of people are going to be frustrated, but I think if things had gone a little differently in terms of the finale getting spoiled, we might have been a little more open to talking about it. But now we're all bitter. [Laughs.] No, honestly, the reason for the silence is we don't want to tell the audience what to think about where the show is going to be next year. The way the finale concluded and what happens next is open to interpretation. I think it had a real imaginative quality to it that hopefully engaged the audience's imagination the way the show did when they first saw the pilot.

Interview with Charlie & the producers...
Does that mean you're not going to answer all my probing questions about the fate of our Losties now?
You can ask, but I can't guarantee anything.
Fair enough. How about a harmless little game of False, True or Hell No, I Won't Tell You?
Let's do it...
Lost returns in February.
True.
Lost stays on Wednesday nights.
Is there an I Don't Know category?
The finale's twist, the flash forward, is something that you'd planned all along, from the very beginning.
Oh, absolutely.
The show will flash forward and flash back from this point onward.
Hell no, I won't tell you.
You are shooting in Hawaii next season.
Yes. Mostly.
Kate is pregnant.
Hell no, I won't tell you.
The role of Jacob has been cast.
False.
False? Okay, interesting. People were having all sorts of interpretations of what he looked like.
You do see a guy, but...I'm still sticking to my false.
The monster can reanimate the dead.
Hell no, I won't tell you.
The Others are in danger of extinction.
True.
The island's mysteries can be explained strictly by science.
Strictly by science?
Strictly.
Hell no, I won't tell you.
The love triangle will eventually be resolved in an unambiguous manner.
True.
Michael is still out in the ocean somewhere.
Hell no, I won't tell you.
Tom is gay.
I'll leave that open to interpretation.
Ben is a good father.
True. [Laughs] These are just my opinions, by the way.
Alex is actually Ben's biological daughter.
False.
The big set for season four is called the Ruins.
False.
You're a bastard for killing Charlie.
True.
Can we talk about that? 'Cause we fans need to know why you did it.
Yes, of course. Dominic, Carlton and I, and all the writers, really felt that when Charlie threw his Virgin Mary statues into the water last year, that was the end of his addiction arc. We weren't interested in revisiting it and having him bounce between being drunk and being sober, so we began to really struggle with the idea of what was Charlie to play now. How was he going to evolve as a character?
At the very same time, we were starting to think about what the effect of the second season finale was going to be, with Desmond turning the fail-safe key. And we didn't want to kill off Desmond, but because this fail-safe key existed as sort of a last resort, we wanted there to be really severe ramifications for Desmond turning it. We didn't want him to get a free pass. And we felt that it would be cool if it involved time travel in some way. But instead of doing sort of a traditional time travel and creating paradoxes and all that stuff, we just did [the episode] "Flashes Before Your Eyes." When that experience ended, we wanted him to be able to see the future, and we thought it would be cool if [his visions] always kind of related to Charlie and Charlie's death, as opposed to seeing 50 different things. That way, he would struggle all season with the idea of whether or not Charlie's death was inevitable.
Why Charlie?
We felt that would be a really interesting story for Desmond, but the way it would affect Charlie excited us even more. We thought it would make Charlie enormously heroic. He is a character who I think the audience has really liked, and he has, during the course of the show, demonstrated real heroism. Like when he killed Ethan for example. At the end of season two, we realized that if there was any character on the show who would sacrifice their life so that everyone else could be rescued, that would be Charlie. What we hadn't decided though, was whether or not Charlie was actually going to die.
So, when did you actually decide to kill him?
Over the course of the year, we began to execute the story, and it was really working. I mean we just loved writing for Charlie. He had this whole new thing to play, and we loved how Dominic was working with Ian [Cusick]. Even with Hurley's more light-hearted story, Charlie's impending death gave it real gravitas. It was just a great storyline, and we were thinking, Is there a way for us to have our cake and eat it too? Can we continue prophesying Charlie's death but not actually have him die, just have him willing to die? But we kind of got to the point—I guess it was during the writing of "The Brig"—where we were all just talking in the writers room and we realized it's a cheat if he lives. It wouldn't be fair, because we've made such a big story point out of it that Charlie now has to die. If he is going to accept his death, then he has to die. Otherwise, it's like, why did we do this story at all? We can't just let him off the hook. He has to die.
How did you break the news to Dominic?
You know, obviously, we started talking to him before we wrote "Flashes Before Your Eyes," just so he would know what was coming. We told him that as soon as we knew definitively what Charlie's fate was going to be, he'd be the first to know. And when we made the final decision, we called him and had a very reasonable conversation. He was completely understanding and appreciative and accepting.
On a personal level, was it a difficult decision letting him go?
Enormously. When you reflect back on the pilot, it was really Jack, Kate and Charlie's story. They're the three people you experience the crash with. They're the original sort of three amigos who go tromping out into the jungle. I think Dominic is, along with Jorge, really the heart of the show. And the idea of how would the show feel with Charlie not being in it anymore, that was a very dark tunnel to be looking down and it continues to be. But I think the reality is, after 72 hours of Lost, we have the idea of communicating to the audience that it's not just the Shannons and Boones and Paulos and Ekos and Ana Lucias who are vulnerable. Everybody is vulnerable. Not everybody's going to make it to the end of this journey. I think that was an important story point to make.
Are you expecting a fan backlash over this?
I hope so. I mean that honestly. I think that if people are like "we're glad you did it," that means we didn't do a good job of emotionally bonding the audience to Charlie and making them feel like his sacrifice is really tragic and heartbreaking. But Dom's work has been phenomenal, and in the last two episodes, he raised the bar even higher. And that's not just a producer trying to be generous to an actor who has now left the show. I think the proof is in the proverbial pudding. I really hope that all summer long, I am derided by people for doing this, because it'll mean that it meant something.
dammit. i was hoping at the last second, charlie would survive. claire's going to be crushed.
Gives Claire another line to work with.. Possibly it'll be her grief that drives us toward the reveal about her relationship to Jack?

Quote'Lost' actor Daniel Dae Kim arrested
1 hour, 42 minutes ago
HONOLULU - Another actor on the hit TV series "Lost" was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving early Thursday by Honolulu police — the fourth actor on the ABC series to run into trouble with the law while filming in Hawaii.
ADVERTISEMENT
Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Korean tough guy Jin-Soo Kwon, was taken into custody before 3 a.m. local time, police said. He was booked at the downtown police station and released after posting bail.
Wearing a solid-white polo shirt and shorts, Kim hid his head from cameras as he was escorted by police officers to a waiting vehicle after his release.
Other "Lost" stars facing problems with the police in Hawaii include Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros, whose characters were killed off in 2005 after they both were arrested and pleaded guilty to drunken driving.
Rodriguez, who played Ana Lucia, was sentenced to five days in jail and $357 in fines. Watros, who played Libby on the show, had her license suspended for 90 days and paid a $312 fine.
A year ago, Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje, the actor who played "Mr. Eko," was arrested for a traffic violation, also in the early morning hours, and accused of disobeying a police officer and driving without a license. The charges were dropped, but his character also was killed off.
Five other cast members working in Hawaii have been cited for traffic violations, mostly for speeding, according to police.
Earlier this month, Rodriguez was sentenced to six months in jail in Los Angeles for failing to complete community service and alcohol monitoring as part of her probation for previous drunken driving violations. She has been ordered to report to county jail on Christmas Eve.
Rodriguez had been on three years probation after pleading no contest to hit-and-run, driving on a suspended license and drunken driving in connection with two incidents in Hollywood in 2003.
Kim, 38, was born in Busan, South Korea, but grew up in Easton, Pa., and has a masters degree from New York University.
On the show, he portrayed a chauvinistic thug who at first was overly protective of his wife, Sun, but then began to warm up to other characters on the mysterious island where "Lost" is set. Trained in classical theater, he had to learn Korean for the role and then had to learn to practice speaking English with a Korean accent as his character learned to speak English.
In addition to work on several TV series before "Lost," he had small roles in "Spider-Man 2," "The Hulk" and "Crash."

I just saw that a little bit ago. Its funny too, cause I saw the headline and thought to myself "man Jin's gotta go".

Has anyone heard if Lost will still start in February with the strike and all???
that shit's been written...they'll be done striking by then anyway, right?
WGA Strike: ABC will air eight episodes of Lost
By Anna Johns, TV Squad
24 may be on the back burner for Fox because of the writers strike, but ABC says it plans to air at least eight episodes of Lost in the mid-season. Lost executive producer and co-creator Damon Lindelof was on the picket line this week supporting his writers when he told Broadcasting & Cable about the network's plans. He said the eighth episode, which is already written, ends with a cliffhanger. So it could, theoretically, cap off a shortened season if the writers strike continues through the New Year.
Lindelof didn't say whether this changes ABC's plans to run the season straight-through starting in February. I imagine that if we only get 8 episodes of Lost next season, they'll probably air in February and then in May for sweeps. Just a guess, though.
Lost's other high profile executive producer, Carlton Cuse, was also on the picket lines this week. He had a sign that said: "Do you want to know what the island is?".
(http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/11/cusewga.jpg)
I guess 8 episodes is better than nothing. Keep our fingers crossed.
Anybody else seen this trailer yet? Looks pretty awesome. I myself can't wait.
Holy fuck
Saw it for the first time last night, this season is going to ROOL.
I'm going to have my doctor put me into a coma from now until the end of January...

this episode is running with weird captions discussing various points in the plot.
It'd be excellent for someone who's trying to jump in without watching before.
This is amazingly gay.
I put in the dvd.
I have it paused. I'll be starting about 10 minutes late so I can FFWD all the commercials.
Nice.
shit.
only 7 hours left.
Best show ever.
umm... possibly. yes.
hellz yeah. I liked the twists. I would like to know more why those 4 were chosen.
I'm liking the way this season is starting. Can't wait till next thurs.
^^^
yea, and why do they want Ben.
great season
Why do they want Ben?
Here's my theory and it's not based on spoilers so I'm not hiding it. Stop reading if you don't want to see a theory.
Earlier in the course of the show and via some of the on-line, peripheral experiences, we learned that the Hanso Foundation (who funded the Dharma Initiative) was linked to Widmore Industries (Penny's ultra-rich father's business) and to Paik Heavy Industries (run by Sun's father, Jin's Boss, in South Korea.) These interests are likely to wonder what happened to Dharma. Especially if they found out that someone who was with Dharma was still alive; Benjamin Linus. Ben is the last known survivor of the Dharma Initiative and, having apparently gone native, would be a person of the highest interest.
That's why they want Ben. As for why those particular persons were selected, I can't wait to find out.
good call RJ. I wasn't into as much detail, but after reading what you wrote, a lot makes sense. Maybe Hanso kinda bullying Widmore/Paik by gtabbing their children/children's loves and putting them on the island??
I forget - where did the rest of "the others" come from?
were they the ones who killed the Dharma project? What happened to them?
We don't know where the others came from for certain...
They preceded the Dharma Initiative and, with Ben's help, killed them.
Great episode last night! One of the best in a while (imo). Interesting theory RJ. Did anyone else find it ironic that they had gas masks in their case? Given thats how ben killed the darmah people.
Ironic, nothing.
I think it may have been an educated precaution.
Quote from: rowjimmy on February 08, 2008, 11:19:34 PM
Ironic, nothing.
I think it may have been an educated precaution.
Yeah, most likely. That was just the first thing that popped into my head. Especially how it made Jack so suspicious.
Remember, Jack doesn't even know about the Purge. His suspicions though are reasonable.
In the purge, the only ones with masks were those using the gas.
Five additional episodes will be produced for this season!
http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/Exclusive-Ilosti-Boss/800033076
So they had 8 planned and they're now going to either squeeze them into 5, or just have the first 5 this season and add an episode to future seasons... I thought there was no problem initially so for me this isn't the greatest news.
Eric Wright
They are going to write what was planned as an 8 episode arc into 5 episodes as time will not really allow for 8 to be written & produced.
the remaining episodes will be incorporated into the next two season so that we will get the planned 48 for these last three seasons.
Considering that they could have left the season 'unfinished' I think it's great news. At least we're getting more shows where as the suckas who watch 24 lost the entire season...

You should grab the dvds from season 1 and roll through it on a weekend or two over the summer. It's not something that you can pop in for an episode in the middle and begin to comprehend...
It's seriously one of the most elaborate works of fiction I've ever encountered on television. It's nearly as rich as a TS Eliot poem in that nearly every line, action, prop and setting is a deliberate piece of a large puzzle. There have been a few missteps (last season started too sluggishly but they self-corrected before it was too late) but overall, it's sometimes utterly amazing. Plus, Tet, I would think you'd dig the science factor in what they've been developing this season.

Anyone think that Micheal is Ben's "guy" on the boat?
It has been suggested that Michael is the man on the boat but... I'm not convinced. I won't be floored if it is, however.
Igbo, what part confuses you about my post?
ok guys... I just posted this to lostpedia and I thought I'd share it with you.
Remember Daniel's experiment and the two clocks that were out of synch?
QuoteThe experiment demonstrates conclusively that time on the island moves slower than 'real time' (off the island.) While the difference is a constant ratio, the purpose of the Swan Station was to regulate this time shift and keep the island nearly synchronized with 'real-time'. Since the turning of the fail-safe key, the island's time has returned to its natural state; slower than 'real-time'. The ratio can be determined by relating the amount of time Daniel has been on the island to the time differential demonstrated by the two clocks. Assuming that Daniel has been on the island since midnight at the beginning of Day 94, we can estimate that he has been on the island for 15 hours by the time the rocket lands. If he's lost 31minutes 18 seconds over the course of only 15 hours, the ratio of 'apparent island time' to 'real-time' is 1:28.66242. If we apply that ratio to the 27 days that have passed for the losties since the key was turned, day 94 (Dec. 24, 2004 in 'apparent island time') becomes February 5, 2007. That would be approximately 2 months before Jack reads the death notice in Through The Looking Glass. If Daniel arrived on the island sooner than midnight, Dec. 24 (Day 94) the ratio would be reduced and the 'real-time' date would be a bit prior to Feb. 5, 2007. I suspect this is likely but am unable to be any more precise given current data.--Rowjimmy 18:47, 15 February 2008 (PST)
Without crunching the numbers I thought about the same thing. The helicopter pilot's reaction to "did the Sox really win the Series" takes on a new light -- given that both the White Sox and Cardinals had won it since. :-D
As a Yankee's fan, he's going to be irked by a Red Sox win, no matter where the Yanks factored in the thing (if at all.)

some LOST content on Bill Simmons' Q&A this week
Q: I just heard on the radio that there was a charity giving all the pre-printed championship garb of Super Bowl losers to needy children across the world. In all seriousness, I would first like to commend this cause -- it seems quite worthwhile. It would be hard, however, not to find some humor in this effort, right? Imagine the creation of a Bizarro Sports World in third-world villages across the globe. Craig Morton and Neil O'Donnell would be worshipped as heroes, and the Vikings and Bills would be celebrated as unbelievable dynasties.
-- Josh, Oakland, Calif.
SG: And it would be the one place where everyone thought the Patriots went 19-0! I always thought it would have been a great running joke if a plane crashed on the "Lost" island carrying boxes and boxes of pre-printed championship clothing to third-world countries, so the castaways starting wearing the clothes on the show and thinking that those "winning" teams were the ones that won titles in 2007. Come on, there's still time to work this idea into the show. We have three more years! Wouldn't you love to see Hurley wearing an XXXL "2007 COLORADO ROCKIES WORLD CHAMPIONS" T-shirt?
Funny.
I just threw together a page on my website to track my theories on the show.

(not my ideas, but the show this year)
**Don't read if you have yet to see last night's episode**
Last nights episode was pretty good, nothing too earth shattering except for Kate having a child and that it is, most likely, Claire's baby Aaron. I had a hard time believing that her sentence for all that she did pre-crash only got her 10 years probation and she can't leave the state for the duration of her sentence. It's only a television program, but for murder, fraud, bank robbery it seems to be a little on the light side. But what I am most curious about is the story that Oceanic 6 fabricated when they returned to the mainland. In Jack's testimony he said that only 8 survived, did they say that 2 died after they had been there for a while? Why would they do that, just seems to make their story more complicated. Or is it just Sun and Jin who go back to Korea and just aren't well know in the U.S.? Or are those 2 Claire and Aaron and they are saying that Claire died somehow on the island. Which might explain why Jack didn't want to see him, something terrible happened to Claire and wasn't able to save her and see the baby is a vivid reminder of his, in his own mind, failure. Also, why did they make Kate the hero? Was that just to help her because they knew that she was going to have to stand trial for her crimes when they got back? And if that's the case, why did her attorney ask her not to fire him when he called Jack as a suprise witness? AND WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE HELICOPTER!?!?! (I guess we find that out next week) :frustrated: :frustrated: I hate this show so much.
There's no question that the kid is Claire's baby; Jack's nephew, btw.
The question there is how/why Kate has come to be raising him.
I think you are right that Claire was one of the eight. But... why would she allow herself to be separated from Aaron?
As for the Helicopter... my bet is that they deviated from their heading and, like Desmond in his sailboat, they're trapped in the field and will find themselves back at the island soon.
Why would Kate choose to leave the island though if not pregnant? I would have thought her only reason for leaving would be to save her and her babies life if she was pregnant. She knew if she went back she would have to stand on trial. If not pregnant than something must have happened at the last second to Claire. And Kate was asked to take Aaron off the island with her. How do you get Aaron being Jack's nephew?
She wants to stay but... Locke banished her and Sawyer let her down with his reaction to her non-pregnancy so she's not into hanging with him. I guess she doesn't see all that much to stay for.

I keep hearing that. Just got through with the one where Walt runs into the Polar bear. I figure in less than a week that's pretty good.
Claire's mother was hooking up with Jack's dad (part of the reason he was in Australia, remember?) So they're half-siblings but don't know it. That makes Aaron Jack's nephew.

jeese, between that and Boone banging his sister
They're going to learn about one another this season... per the producers.
Possibly why Jack is so weirded out about Aaron? I'm also looking at the end of last season where Kate says, "I have to get back to him". I believe "him" is Aaron. Maybe that's what they want me to believe.
I agree with the theory that Jack may not want to see Aaron b/c of the reminder of what happened on the island. It seems something bad must have happened if only 6 people make it off the island- Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid (sp), Aaron, and ???.
I am really interested to see where all of this goes...I didn't like the flashforwards of the future at first, but now they are getting good. Unfortunately they are continuing to do what I hate-- more questions, less answers.
I love and hate this show. Damn, I am hooked.

Exactly correct.
Jack wants to go back to the island, so I don't think he doesn't want to see Aaron because of that. Maybe he's scared of how it'll remind him of his half sister... Assuming she's dead. Also, what if Aaron was just named after Aaron and Jack is pissed about it? Maybe he's mad because it's Sawyer's kid? Maybe Kate just liked the name? Also, what if Aaron isn't one of the six? Be careful in assuming. These dudes keep throwing us off.
So they all were subjected to some EM when Des first nearly missed the code. They flashed forward 30 minutes but instead of being dead, they all clung to the familiar... Each other, so in one dimension, the plane crashed, but the way the time lapse thing works the plane also didn't crash. Notice how they keep showing how they all had seen each other at some point before the crash so they were each others constant. Maybe.
That was really a crazy episode. I'm definitely gonna have to watch that one again.
it seemed familiar, like I had seen it before...

Alright, the way I see it we've got two possibilities here. The first, and most likely, is that we've just been handed one of the failsafe keys to unlocking the overall mysteries of LOST. Then again, the possibility always exists that the writers are playing sick, twisted mind games with us. But this late in the game? Not a chance. I think for once we got solid answers. Things I Noticed:
I am your Density!
It's hard to notice stuff when your jaw's lying on the floor, but this episode was really that good. Watching Desmond's consciousness catapult back and forth across eight years of his life should've been confusing... it should've been way too crazy to follow, way too far out to make much sense to people. Yet when you think about it, the writers of LOST have been gently herding (Shepharding?) us along, building us up, preparing us for this exact moment for over three years now. All of the answers weren't just thrust upon us simultaneously in one season (cough... Heroes!... cough...) as if we, the audience, were a bunch of eager simpletons impatiently banging the table for immediate answers before switching over to 24. No – the writers and producers of LOST really took their time telling this story. They told it with great sets, beautiful scenery, incredible writing, and deep characterization. And this is why it so totally rocks the balls off any other television show.
That said, I'm not going to go into the metaphysics of inter-dimensional time travel, wormholes, or any of the technical crap we might've seen on Danny's blackboard. Everyone else can do that. I'd get the science part wrong anyway, and discussing the theory itself is much more interesting. I'm also not gonna point out the ultra-cool painting and origins of the Black Rock (which I loved by the way), how Penny's dad needs to buy the ledger in order to track it to the island, or the really great scene between Desmond and Penny that was a much-welcomed relief from all the Sawyer/Kate/Jack stuff. You all saw the episode, you all noticed it too.
Good night, future-boy!
The Lawnmower man is one hell of a pilot. I barely hold my heading over the Long Island sound on a clear day but Frank's laser-locked onto 305 through towering thunderclouds culminating in a nasty time storm. But it's not the storm; it's the dusk-to-day landing wigs Sayid out. Looks like 31 minutes is out the window here. When Sayid finally does get the chance to speak with Jack, they're speaking live but about a day apart (island time). It seems the definitive answer is that time does move slower on the island than in the real world. But is there a day-to-day (relative) difference? My gut instinct is no. I tend to think that no matter how long they spent on the island, they would've arrived back to the freighter at about the same time they left. Watch the crewmember's reaction after Frank exits the chopper: "What are you doing back?" – almost as if the chopper team had just departed. Which makes sense, because looking for a black island against a black ocean (which was when the Naomi's team showed up) would be a lot less sensible than launching such a mission in the light of day.
In either event, Desmond goes Marty McFly, and that's the real story. This time we get to see a reverse trip as a very confused past Desmond is launched into his future situation. The "only the consciousness goes" part was extremely clever, but even more revealing. If examined closely and open-mindedly, this one phenomenon can decode almost every inexplicable part of the show. More on that in a minute.
The biggest shock to me was how innocuous the freighter turned out to be. The crewmembers weren't bristling with guns, nor were they even overly hostile. In fact, there seemed to be a complete lack of discipline or direction on the ship. My opinion of Minkowski turned from evil overlord to strapped-down radio operator in the blink of an introduction. I saw no chain of command. You'd think if someone from (drumroll...) The Island had made their way back to the ship, there would be some kind of serious interrogation. Instead there was a perfunctory examination of Desmond's pupils and a general dismissive feeling overall. Even Lapidus seemed to get into it, tossing an obligatory Baghdad reference along with the satellite phone to Sayid.
One point twenty-one gigawatts!!!
Desmond and Elouise aren't the only ones trapped in a time fart. Daniel himself is skipping around, as foreshadowed by doc Ray's exclamation that "Faraday can't even help himself!" Later on we learn that excessive radiation (or electromagnetism, how convenient) lends to the problem, of which zap-happy Daniel has no shortage. Eventually we see that he's even got an entry in his own log referring to Desmond as his constant, which means that up until he came to the island he was still searching for that one thing or person (wonder where he got that idea from?) to ground him. He found that thing upon meeting Desmond the morning the chopper took off, and was pretty sure that would be the end of his 'problem'... but upon playing cards with Charlotte that night he still hadn't made any progress. Perhaps the act of helping Desmond reach his own constant, Penny, will finally 'unstick' Danny once and for all.
Also skipping through his lifetime is Mikowski, who's virtually an expert by the time they find him. I found his "I was just on a Ferris wheel" line interesting, because like everything else in LOST a Ferris wheel goes round and round and always comes full circle. Mikowski threatens the same thing will happen to his crewmates when they "go back to that island".
And you know who else got a nasty case of the jump-through-life crazies? Rousseau's entire crew. This could very well be the 'sickness' she referred to so early on in season one. Look at how bat-shit nuts Desmond went in the chopper – now imagine Danielle's entire crew acting like that while she's trying to "shhh!" them as the smoke monster stalks the jungle and the Others pick off whomever they feel are on Santa's list. Kinda puts a new spin on that whole scenario.
While we're at it, let's think back to Juliet's arrival by sub. Was it coincidence they knocked her out for the trip through the time barrier? Or by relieving her of her consciousness as she passed through did they save her from any of Daniel's so called 'side effects'? As Ethan said, it's a hell of a ride. Totally Jauntish, if that's the case, but then again I'm a firm believer you can draw a Stephen King reference to your morning stool if you looked hard enough.
But hey, let's lock a really misshapen piece of the puzzle into place: Hurley's friend Leonard. Could it be that he time-skipped his way into the mental institution after being stationed a little too close to the island? Imagine him living pieces of his life over and over again, in loops that get geometrically (Daniel's wording, not mine) smaller. Now picture those loops getting smaller and smaller... until all that's left is a tiny 10 or 15-second flash of time he has to relive over and over again: the radio transmission. The numbers. 4,8,15,16,23,42... hiccup!... 4,8,15,16,23,42. Wow, shoot me now.
And finally, let's consider what a genius intellect with a rational approach would do with the near-infinite knowledge gained by such looping trips through time. Is Ben the ultimate product of the island's abilities? Instead of being stuck like Dan's mouse or quantum-leaping around at random, is it possible Ben was taught how to harness, control, and utilize these gifts? If so, are all his well-laid plans merely nothing but him molding and shaping future events the way Desmond did to prevent Charlie's death a few times?
Yeah, well history is going to change!
This brings me to my own personal conclusion: LOST history has got to be alterable. Because if it weren't, Ben (and now Locke) wouldn't be going through all this trouble to finally get the event scenario correct. If whatever happens is truly going to happen anyway, regardless of what is done to prevent it (course correction), then wouldn't Ben just grab some a box of Dharma wine and go fishing? I mean why bother, right? If the future can't be changed, just what the hell is Ben doing?
I'm going against Ms. Hawking here, and maintaining that things CAN change. The very nature of her meeting with Desmond seems to prove this. Why's she trying to convince him so adamantly that he's got to dump Penny and head on over to the Swan hatch? According to her own course correction theory, wouldn't the button still get pushed by someone else? But her insistence and general pissy attitude make me think she's worried. Look looked hella-worried, and to me that translates into one thing: Desmond can mess things up. In a way, he's not a constant at all – Desmond is a wild card.
Why don't you make like a tree... and get outta here!
Dan's reference to his mouse being 'stuck' this episode was extremely important. Desmond and Mikowski might've been stuck too (well, maybe not anymore), but the one person who's really, really stuck is Jacob. His creepy "help me..." was an otherworldly call from beyond (Time? Space? Does it matter?) with his cabin representing the epicenter of some sort of temporal disaster that stranded him where he is now. Remember his magically re-constructing lantern? "Time is broken here" – Lara Croft.
Tearing a single page out of Dan's book we now see mention of three events: A, B, and C. I'm willing to bet that two of those events pertain to both times Desmond failed to push the button; once at the crash of 815, and once when he turned the failsafe key. The third event we don't know about or it hasn't happened yet (the end event?)
I believe each event triggered an alternate timeline, and is responsible for the 'rebirth' of everyone involved (physical and spiritual healing included). This is hinted at multiple times throughout the show with "See you in another life". But now, when we begin to factor the time hiccups into the equation, we're not only looking at concurrent timelines. We must now also consider timelines where someone's consciousness (and only their consciousness – that part's important) is derived from their past or even their future. From the beginning, the producers have hinted that where flight 815 crashed wasn't nearly as important as when it crashed.
Taking this into consideration, what if the plane crashed before September 22nd 2004? We've seen time differentials of 31 seconds and even a whole day now – who's to say it couldn't span a week or more? As we saw with Desmond, the consciousness is transferred but the body stays the same. So what if (and get ready to be totally creeped out here...) what if the plane crashed during a period in time when Christian Shephard was still alive?
What if the only place his consciousness had to go was into his current body, tucked neatly away in the coffin that turned up empty on impact? Could this explain why Jack kept seeing him? Could this explain why Jacob looked like him for that brief instant, yet still looks like an embalmed corpse? Yikes.
I guess you guys weren't ready for that, yet... but your kids are gonna love it.
Okay, listen - I'm 99.9% sure I don't subscribe to the Christian-corpse-consciousness theory I just hammered out. It's 4am and I'm getting pretty loopy. Looking at it again, it kinda sucks. It was just something that occurred to me that needed to get thrown out there, because I can't see any other logical reason for Hurley seeing Jack's dad in that chair – especially since Hurley has never seen Jack's dad before (unless it was in a time loop, and I'm not taking that ride again just now).
But it sure would pave the way for the LOST zombie season.
My call for who's on the boat
MICHAEL!!!

My call for who's on the boat
MICHAEL!!!
Oh, that's for certain, now.
And Widmore owning the boat... Called it.
Good episode. I was wondering why they went through the trouble of showing those gas masks in the beginning of the season . I had a feeling they would tie in somehow.
Anyhow, it was an interesting episode. After seeing that scene with ben and locke, I now am almost certain that it's the whidmore (SP?) people that sayid is contracting for ben.
I thought it was a decent episode. It did add some good information. I also believe it will be Michael on the boat, but how they tie him to Ben will be interesting.
I also enjoyed the "deal" between Ben and Locke. I was hoping they might work together. There seems to be a link between the two of them that continues to be revealed each season, i.e. the healing stuff, Locke's father, the battle for power that they both seem to possess.
they seem to be a pattern this season- super intense lots of info episode, laid back subtle details, super intense etc. This was okay, and next week looks amazing. My one question was about the woman who appeared to Juliet and told her that Ben wanted her to kill the new comers. Was she real? I know she was at one point, but with all the crazy time travel shit that is happening, is she real? B/C the "sounds" preceded her arrival...
I had the same thought too, once i noticed the whispering sounds.
i guess thats the current theory with jacob/the person who is in the house. He existed at some time interval, but bc he is in two different planes, he is not there physically.
For the theory that Michael is the one on the boat:
In the end of the first season (I think) when Michael left the island with Walt on the boat given to him by Ben, Ben gave him the coordinates to follow and said he would find someone who would help him home. I imagine the people are the same as those on the freighter.
As for the lady who talked with Juliet being real, it seemed odd. I would agree it has something to do with Jacob as there were the whispers going on around her at the time. I also wonder how Ben was in contact with her since he was locked up in the basement at the time. Probably more to do with Jacob. Hopefully we can learn more about the cabin/Jacob before the end of the season.
Locke & Ben will find themselves as allies in due course. Locke is too hard headed to see it most of the time but their interests are fully aligned.
Basically this show (the whole thing) is outlining a struggle between two factions, science vs religion. Fact vs Faith.
Jacob vs Esau.
The Natives/Hostiles vs Dharma Initiative.
The Lostees vs The others.
Jack vs Locke.
If you watch the characters you will see most of them fall on one side or another. Some do not seem to be aware of which side their on at first but, it's in them.
OK, so we're counting Aaron as one of the Oceanic 6 I guess?
Jack
Kate
Hurley
Sayid
Sun
and Aaron?
Jin's tombstone marked his death on 9/22/04, so are we to presume that he's on the Island? Or is he one of the 2 people who survived the crash but wasn't rescued (I think this came out at Kate's trial?)....
Loved the episode last night, especially the scene when the captain finally explained everything. I wish they had made more of an effort to keep Micheal's reveal a secret, many had predicted it and I felt like I was waiting for the whole episode, then was disappointed when it happened.
Based on the podcasts... I don't think the producers count Aaron.
I think that Michael is the 6th. He's gotta get back and end up in that coffin somehow.
I don't think that it's important who the "two that died" are as that's an outright lie, anyway.
I am beginning to think that the coverup is about their guilt for escaping as much to protect the island. I'm thinking, perhaps only some people we able to get off the island and others who wished to leave (along with those who didn't) were left behind. This would explain why Jin didn't leave the island with Sun... Limited helicopter seats, and then return trips are cut-off for some reason... ?

Interesting idea that it was Michael in the coffin. There are obviously going to be some who don't want to leave the island, (Locke), but some bad stuff will probably happen where a handful will be buried on the island. It could be possible that the Oceanic Six has the guilt because they chose to leave the island rather than help some others, which could go along with the limited seat theory on the helicopter.
On a side note, this is reply #420!! :banana:
Yeah, the Jin and Sun thing is confusing. But although Sun thinks Jin is dead, he seems alive and well. He knew where and when Jin was having her baby and he's working for Paik (Sun's father) still. What the hell is that??? Am I confused? Is he "travelling" so he can be there to bring the panda? Maybe his deal is that he can't contact her. I wasn't thrilled about last week's episode either. Hoping things improve this week. I think the 2 factions are Ben's and Widmore. Somehow, Ben has control of a few of the people he let go (Sayid and Michael), maybe he finds a way to pit them against Widmore? I guess I'll wait and see.
At the end of last season, Kate says to Jack at the airport, "I have to get back to him" or something like that... Ben or Aaron?

You are confused. Sun's storyline was a flash-forward to after the Island. Jin's storyline was a flashback to before the Island. Maybe it wasn't such a bad episode after all? I loved it - especially the scene with the Captain.

Aaron.
So....
How about that junk, people?
What a great episode. 5 weeks is a long time to wait for more.
Is it okay for us to post spoilers?
Last nights ep had some good info. I liked the background/foreground (whenever it was Michael in the future?) info about what gets Michael onto the boat. Its further evidence of how manipulative Ben is. Although with the time loop theories, I am really confused about when those events took place. B/C pretty much after Michael left, the Losties went on the attack. When would Ben have had the time to send a guy into the future to get Michael, and then to calmly phone him from the boat?
Spoilers of previously aired materials are ok but, if it's the day after... it's probably best to give warning for those who rock the TIVO (just like you did and I'm doing now.)
He didn't send him to the future. My previous theory about time shift was extremely sensible but way off the mark. the island moves through time at the same rate it's just that when passing through the barrier to reach or leave the island you lose time... not a lot, however.
Anyway, according to the timeline, Michael left the island on day 67 so what we see of him in manhattan happened in between then and when we re-encounter him on day 97.
The trickiest thing is when was Tom off the island for that amount of time?
They are definitely playing with the timeline and I doubt we'll ever have those kind of little questions resolved.
I was really hoping we would get to see The Temple at the end of the episode - in fact, I wish it had been 2 hours long.
Check out this site for some good reading on the time loop theory

I was hoping we would get to see the temple too. Oh well.
I think I need to take a break from this show. No pun intended, but apparently I'm lost. There's so much unanswered crap on this show, that I can't even tell when they're answering something. Seems like you have to watch every episode through a microscope and remember every character so that when they reappear in an episode 3 years later, you'll know a little bit more. But you never end up knowing enough to be able to appreciate it. I read posts in this thread (and other forums) and I wonder if I missed half a season's worth of episodes. Plus it doesn't help that by the time the episodes air, I've got a nice buzz going and tend to forget minute details. The real kicker was when they moved it to 10:00. Forget it. I'm drunk by then. And now they're gonna pull that again? I might as well just wait for DVD. :frustrated:
Khalpin,
All of the episodes are online @ abc.com the day after they air. Currently (or, last I checked,) every episode from each previous season was availably to stream. It's not a simple show which is one of the things I enjoy. It challenges me. I know people who have no concern for theories and minutae and they enjoy it whereasd I really really enjoy dissecting every little bit. Being anymore than slightly intoxicated won't help matters though, so I can understand your frustration. When it was on at 10 last year, I struggled to keep my eyes open for the entire hour and I'm waaay into the show.
So hang in there.
A great site to aid in understanding the show is http://www.lostpedia.com
Don't give up, I think the journey is definitely the prize.
As for the time loop theory, there is far too much supposition in the first quarter of the page for me to even consider it.
I do like the flux capacitor picture, though.

I just spent the past half hour perusing the site. Looks like it's really season three that's my issue. Think I'll start going through those episodes one by one. Thanks for the link!
once again, last night raised more questions than it answered.
awesome ep
I totally enjoyed the episode, but I am little pissed at Sayid for turning in Michael. It seems like a stupid thing to do, but I wonder if Sayid thinks it will win him points with the captain, and therefore help with the rescue.
Once again, I realized Ben is a badass manipulator and quite powerful. Glad they showed the info about Michael. At least that information has been revealed.
I thought something bad was going to happen to his daughters boyfriend. The foreshadowing was so thick when Ben was watching them and the dude's arm was around his daughter's waist. Pretty ballsy of her to yell out who she was at the end, too.
5 weeks is a long time to wait. A little disappointed in that. :frustrated:
Yeah its gonna be a rough 5 weeks.
I suggest re-watching season 4 to date.
Im sure I'll do that a few times.
i actually am rewatching all seasons, almost done with the first one. Its weird to pick up on extra things now that I didnt realize at the time.
This break is killing me..... I need my Lost! I don't think I can take another week.
http://islostarepeat.com/
what? :?
They added another hour to this season.
Starting April 24, four 1hour episodes... then, a week off (grey's anatomy finale :roll: ) and then a 2 hour finale.
Last nights episode was SICK!! And I'm even more intrigued by the Ben/Windmore saga.
see what happens when you change the rules

I think that it has officially hit the fan.
I was cheering for Ben.
Wow, I was buzzing that entire episode - really brilliant, imo.
Thinking that Ben is this Alias-style superspy is a bit of a stretch, but the drama on the Island right now is really intense!
I didn't want it to end. :lol:
Who thinks Ben killed Sayid's girl???
No I.
But I wouldn't be surprised if Widmore's people didn't either.

The thought crossed my mind, not Ben personally, but one of his people. I wouldn't be surprised if it was, and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. I definitely think he was lying about Widmore doing it though.
The reason I think that Widmore may have done it... is the same reason that Abbadon is stalking Hurley.
Widmore is trying to find the island and will resort to any means of coercion available.
I happen to think that Ben lucked into the moment of seeing Sayid on TV and capitalized on it.
Quote from: rowjimmy on April 27, 2008, 10:12:21 AM
I happen to think that Ben lucked into the moment of seeing Sayid on TV and capitalized on it.
I just watched this one again, and I noticed that Ben had an almost surprised look on his face when he saw Sayid on the tv. I didn't really pick up on that the other night. So it could very well just be luck on Ben's part.
Was the game of Risk kind of like the "game" that Ben and Widmore are playing? Why can't Ben kill Widmore? Why are there rules in the first place? My jury is still out on who killed Nadia... Maybe Ben was just surprised at when he saw Sayid, but he knew damn well that Nadia was to be offed. Maybe it was Widmore's people. However, it did seem that Ben got just what he wanted in the end.
Second thing, when ben went into the secret room "to unleash smokey" Notice the suits with the black ties... Notice what he wears "later" when he's on land. I also wonder how he got to the desert in that scene.
I still wonder what happens with Aaron...
One thing that still bugs me is that when Claire went to see the "psychic" he ended up sending her away. I still wonder if those on the plane were selected somehow or if it was random.
Damn good episode.
nothing is random
I don't have the answers to any other questions about this show, but I'm certain of that
I suspect that Ben can't kill Widmore because he, like Michael is protected by the island... Meaning Widmore has been there and naturally he wants to return.
I doubt ben knew in advance about Nadia's death (unless he arranged it; which I don't believe) and I did notice his surprise at seeing Sayid. That's what leads me to believe that he concocts his plan quickly after a little research into how she died.
Ben got to Tunisia the same way that the polar bear got there... Note the coat he was wearing.
http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Vile_Vortices
Remember, Claire's psychic was a self-admitted fraud (when Eko went to see him.) He put Claire on that plane because he was going to profit from the adoption...
Nice episode last night...
Claire wanders off with Christian Shepherd??? Who thinks they'll end up @ the cabin? I sorta do.
oh and scenes from next week featured this guy: http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Horace_Goodspeed
Anyone notice that as they were getting ready to do surgery on Jack, on the soundtrack, a harp played the Dies Irae theme?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dies_irae#Musical_settings
I thought this weeks episode was ok. Nothing too special. But, the whole Claire/Christian thing was really awesome. And rj, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they do end up at the cabin. On a side note, anybody think that Jack and Claire will ever find out they're half siblings?
Jack knows that he's related to Aaron, so he must know that Claire is his sister.

Thanks.
I need to watch that again. And I need to start turning my phone off on Thursdays from 10pm to 11pm. I took a couple calls last night during the episode.
Very good, very good.
Best flashback ever??...off the top of my head..yes.
And my new favorite line.. "Destiny is a fickle bitch.."
Twas a seriously heady episode....
I think I need to rewatch it. I was distracted watching radar during the Tornado warning.
Yeah, crazy about Christian's involvement and Claire's nonchalantness
MOVE the island.
Holy fuck.
You guys have all seen this, right? It was shown at ComicCon last year before Season 4 began:
From wikipedia:
Casimir effect and wormholes
Exotic matter with negative energy density is required to stabilize a wormhole. Morris, Thorne and Yurtsever pointed out that the quantum mechanics of the Casimir effect can be used to produce a locally mass-negative region of space-time, and suggested that negative effect could be used to stabilize a wormhole to allow faster than light travel.

The scene at Jack's dad's funeral. The lady that talks to Jack about why his dad was in Australia. She tells him it was for their daughter, Claire. jack makes the connection. And it makes the statement "you're not related to him" even more important.

Right.
We've known since Ana Lucia's flashback in season 3... Jack didn't find out until this last episode's flash forward which took place
prior to the fight with Kate wherein Jack notes that Kate isn't related to Aaron.
You guys should be focusing on the fact that they're going to open a wormhole which will move the island... That'll put the freighter out of reach of the island, won't it?

The wormhole is so crazy of an idea that I don't know how to focus on it. I would assume it would put the frieghter out of reach and it would also explain why Whitmore is trying to "find" the island. It must have happened sometime before this and that's why he can't find again. Until now. The question for me is where will it move? Will it be moved
in time rather than just location and that is why there is a space/time issue when going to and from the island?
d0000d....that was crazy. Jeremy Bentham?!!? WTF It certainly answered a few of the questions that I, and everyone else in the world who watches it, had. It's going to be a long 8 months until the next season starts and I just finished rewatching everything up to the 1st few episodes of this season with my wife. Guess it's time to start watching the first 7 seasons of the X-Files to pass the time. :-D
What a crazy episode.
A couple of thoughts: When Jack and Kate are talking outside of the airport, that has to be a few years into the future as Aaron is at least 3. So how are they going to get to that point? Will they be a side story next season as we see the "bad things" that occured on the island or will they be flashbacks?
Crazy stuff with Ben and the Orchid. Great episode all around.
Theory: Des and Penny are similar to the story of Odysseus. Des is short for Odysseus and Penny short for Penelope. It is his quest to get back to her, and now that he is back there will be some sort of "house cleaning" of the people doing bad things, similar to Odysseus taking care of the suitors. Widmore could be Posiedon always shifting the people into bad situations. Just some thoughts about some sort of inspiration for a base story, obvious wormholes weren't in the Odyssey, but it was definitely a story about trying to get home and all the problems that stop you from getting home. When Locke got back to the others, dude said "welcome Home" so concievably the island is home for them now.
Much rambling here, just some crazy thoughts...
Great episode, indeed.
The Flash forwards around the time of Jack's Beard are to April 2008.

And how about Hugo telling Walt his dad stayed behind, rather than telling him about the boat exploding. Are we in store for more Michael madness??
I think it's likely that Michael was allowed to die.
Christian said he could go...
"Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do. On the one hand the standard of right and wrong, on the other the chain of causes and effects, are fastened to their throne. They govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think.."
- Jeremy Bentham
QuoteAmong his many proposals for legal and social reform was a design for a prison building he called the Panopticon.
QuoteThe Panopticon is a type of prison building designed by English philosopher Jeremy Bentham in 1785. The concept of the design is to allow an observer to observe (-opticon) all (pan-) prisoners without the prisoners being able to tell whether they are being watched, thereby conveying what one architect has called the "sentiment of an invisible omniscience."
Bentham himself described the Panopticon as "a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example."
blown away
yup, totally crazy. Are we sure the island didn't jump another bit into the future? It may be right there but just not visible? Maybe it has to be accessed from different coordinates now? My Q is how does ben get from where he is to the desert. I've seen the theory on the 7 magnetic points on the earth and that makes sense, but I don't imagine the entire island going anywhere... How would ben get there?
Next season...
Jack tries to get Kate and Aaron to go to the island
Ben has Sayid in his grasp and can get him and Hurley to go.
I'll bet (since we all know that Jin is alive) that Jin somehow gets Sun to go
The main struggle will be because somehow Claire doesn't want her baby to come back.
Ben said he had an idea (I'm sure he wants to get back) and I think the rule of "once you move the island, you can't go back" may have a loophole for ben if he gets the 6 back there. He's got Jack and Sayid under his thumb, and if Jin gets Sun, Jin will do whatever Ben wants. Then it's Hurley (he'll go), and Kate and Aaron. WOW.
One part I don't want to see is when Sayid is sent to kill Penelope and Desmond is there. You know it's gonna happen.
How does Richard stay young? So many questions still.

yep
we still don't know - who are the others?
btw is Christian Jack's dad? iirc they look alike
I'm not convinced that Jin is alive... not at all.
imo, anyone on or near the freighter either blew up or drowned when the island left them behind.
Christian is Jack's Dad. He seems to exist only in some kind of parallel world/imaginary/island fantasy. Furthermore, Jin is definitely dead.
IMO the event most requiring an explanation is how and why Claire abandoned Aaron, and what happened to Claire. I'm thinking that Aaron is a future leader of "the others" and the Island had to take Claire so he could realize his destiny.

makes sense, especially when you consider that they temporarily kidnapped Claire a while back.
Deleted scene from this season's Sayid episode, "The Economist"
Who bought the large stuffed animal when sun was having her baby. Am I confused? Wasn't that Jin, but almost as if he wasn't himself? She went to his grave, but that doesn't mean anything... I suppose I'd assume that Michael is dead, but Jin? I'm not 100% yet.
In that episode, the Sun parts were flashforwards and the Jin parts were flashbacks. I agree with you on whether or not Jin is dead, Michael is ad dead as dead can be, but Jin, just like a :phish: reunion, I'll believe it when I see it.
iirc, jin bought the animal for his bosses kid, or grandchild
No one survived that explosion.
Jin = dead.
I think that stuffed animal was from Jin's boss to the leader of China. As a gift/do business with me kinda thing.
And if anybody did survive that explosion, they're dead now. They didn't have an island to swim back to. You can only tread water for so long.

Correct on both counts sorta...
I believe it was the ambassador's daughter or some crap who had the kid.
hmmm, I'll have to go back and see that again.
Look at the Jin's cell phone.
That's a big hint to the timeframe.

When's this start up again? I hope they dont break up the 'season' again, I hate that shit..
:?
It has not started up again because they aren't breaking up the season.
It will be back in January.
They are also replaying each season on G4 at 9pm. It's the 2.0 version in which they give information about plot, characters, and other silly stuff. Pretty interesting and a great way to get back into the show after the long hiatus. They are coming to the end of season 2 right now.

Fair enough, at any rate the actor is going to be in this season, as a flashback or otherwise. Just need to be able to contain until the season starts.
An attorney who sits down the hall from me was roommates with Jin in College.
Jin will be in the next season but, his ass blew the fuck up as far as we know.
Btw, start date is January 22.
I can't friggin wait....
Thanks, Chad. I hadn't seen that yet.
No problem, there's another one that is also a video for the band The Fray, I made it about 10 seconds and turned it off, not even for Lost could I stand that whining garbage. But then I found this and all was better. :-)
I just stumbled across this, and thought I'd share it. I don't necessarily consider it a spoiler, because it was officially put out there by the network. It's a two min scene with Kate and Aaron from the season five premier.
Yeah, if you participated in the dharma game over the summer, they email you those videos two days before they go up on abc.com.

Sweet, and season 4 was released on DVD and Blu-Ray today as well.
Thanks for the update. I will be adding this one to my x-mas list.
been getting caught up on G4. Almost through season 3. Just got done sitting through Desmond's insanely long flashback.
I am obsessed with LOST!!! I have seasons 1-3 on DVD and I watched every episode of season 4 on TV and online at least 3 times.
haha, weird to read the first page of this thread, from way back in Sept. '05. I wonder if aug is still on board with this show??
things have gotten a bit crazy and outlandish now (some of my non-LOST friends rip into me for liking a show with a disappearing island), but I don't care! Such an epic, interwoven plot going on everywhere in this show. I only hope it all makes sense in the end.
when are they going to explain the deal with Libby being in the same mental hospital as Hurley? wtf!

A cool interview with a sneak peak of the premier (a scene with Jack and Ben).
It'll probably only work for another day or so.
Is it January 22nd yet???
You mean January 21st!! :-D
(it's back on Wednesday's this season)
Tomorrow night (wednesday) is a recap/season finale review. Something to get your brain ready for next week! I think 8pm.
I'm gonna watch it on dvd tomorrow with the commentary...

I plan to do the same in the coming days.
Speaking of the dvds, there is a cool feature on one of the bonus discs, where they put all the flash forwards in chronological order. It's cool to see them all in the order in which they took place. It almost tells a whole new story.
3 hours on last night. The last 2 episodes from the last season. got me fired up for next week! And reminded me of all the crazy shit going on.
It's gonna be friggin sweet.

Damn, I should've watched that. I don't remember what the hell happened last season. It's been too long.
It may be up on ABC.com
I think there is also a recap episode of the whole season before the season opener. At least that's what it looks like.
Last nights episode had a sneek peek at the new episode. It looks crazy as ever. only one week left until new Lost!!! :banana:
QuoteHello Dharma Friends,
In less than a week, LOST season 5 premieres! You're hopefully excited. We're
heavily medicating ourselves to overcome our anxiety.
What you'll be seeing on premiere night is, first, a special clip show designed
to get you back up to speed after our eight months off the air. The clip show
is followed by episodes one and two of this season. While we did not write them
to air as a two hour block, we are happy that you are getting to see both episodes
on the first night. Episode one entitled "Because You Left" picks up where the
finale left off, and the second episode "The Lie" is a Hurley-centric episode.
Honestly, we're very excited for you to see them.
Speaking of the Hurley episode, this week we've got a special sneak peak at a scene
from that episode just for you.
We've also put together some photos from a recent photo shoot set to the music Michael
Giacchino wrote specially for our 2008 Comic-Con appearance. (Actually, we didn't
put them together, but our awesome DSA team did -- and a good job they did, too.)
Click on the link and enter the password to check it out. Until next week...
Peace,
Damon and Carlton

wow
:-o :-o :-o
And the episode was sweet, too!
Looks like a great season is starting.
:-o
That was amazing. I don't want to post any specifics in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, but man that was great. Can't wait for next week!
definitely a lot to digest in the first episode. My wife pointed out that Ana Lucia said "Don't get arrested". Hopefully, Jack, Ben, and Sayid eventually will break out Hugo. I'm not sure if that'll be next episode though. Things seemed to be falling into place until that.
Text in white... Hey tet, can you easily add a color for a "spoiler" font that matches the background perfectly?
DVR'd it and just got done, holly shit. Talk about packing a lot in.
I say from tonight forward, if you don't want any spoilers, don't read this thread until after you watch the episode.
Tivo'd it, but only got through the first hour before it was bedtime. Looking forward to finishing it off tonight.
There's a way to do spoilers, as you can see in this post: http://week4paug.net/index.php?topic=10874.msg213135#msg213135 but since the thread is locked, you can't "quote" the post to see what the command is to block out the text.
Last nights episode was awesome!!! That white haired woman at the end was the same one who Desmond met when he was unstuck in time. I have a feeling she could be Faraday's mother. Just an observation.
Yes the woman was the same as before. But as for your theory... Fair chance but, I'm not convinced.
Yeah, my first comment was rock solid. The second part was a shot in the dark. I come up with all sorts of crazy theorys and some of them pan out, most however, do not.
Oh, it crossed my mind and I wouldn't be caught completely unawares if it were true but I'm thinking not.
Something else I noticed, the men who asked Sawyer and Juliet what they were doing on 'their island', seemed to speak with a french accent. This could be Rousseau's group.

Nonononono...
Rousseau's group were shipwrecked scientists who were trying to get home... not defend the island.
Those guys were WWII era soldiers.
The "Our Island" part throws me. Why would soldiers call it "our island". They were living there, not stationed there it seems
Oh yeah, and the scientist woman in the church, Faraday's mum, no doubt.
In the thing at 8pm they said this would be the season of answering questions and not raising as many.

Really? I guess I need to go back and watch some early episodes again. I don't remember her ever saying her crew were scientists.

That's what I thought, too.
It will be interesting to see all the different time periods they jump around to throughout the season.
Also, I am interested to find out why the "others" don't age. What is it about the one guy that allows him to be the same age?
Re-watched the last episode because I was so exhausted the first time I watched it. Not much new to add except that Juliette is seriously hot.

that's the secret of the island. why do you think Whittmore wants it so much.
Remember Jack asking Ben about having to take Lock back, even though he's a corpse?
Ben's answer was sort of, yeah Jack, as if Jack didn't get it.
Lock will live again.

I thought so. I would assume she has to go too, but it hasn't been mentioned.
And yes, Juliette is smokin' hot. Similar to the Kate situation, Sawyer is now around Juliette. Maybe Sawyer is like Jack's schoolyard bully and instead of lunch money, he takes his women. :-D
I think that Sun will have to bring her baby, but what no one is mentioning is that Lapidus should have to return too. I don't think Ben knows that he even got off the island with the six, hell he doesn't even mention Desmond.
Also, Juliette= Super Hottie.
Yes, she does qualify as a super hottie.

Lapidus wasn't a survivor of 815, so it shouldn't matter.
I am curious how they are going to get Walt back to the island. Shouldn't he have to go back, too?
I don't think that all of them "HAVE" to go back, me guess is that it is an elaborate scheme just to get Ben back to the island. If you remember for the the season finally, he said that who ever turns to wheel and makes the island disappear, one of the side-effects was that that person could never come back. And from how the second episode on wednesday ended, I think a few people just need to believe that they have go back for whatever is going to get them back to work for Ben also. Make any sense? :-) :?

Lapidus was supposed to be the pilot on 815.
He switched shifts at the last minute...

That's what leads me to believe that he will have to return as well. Not to mention the line that he said while they where planing 'the lie', "Whatever you guys decide, I'll roll with it." Sounds like foreshadowing to me.
I don't know about Lapidus, but if it turns out that he has to go too, I don't think it'll be a problem getting him to come along. He seems to be pretty interested in the whole thing. My bet is he'll be right along with Jack, as far as being easily convinced that is.

That's right. I knew there was something I was forgetting. I am sure he will help them get back.
Not sure if anyone else saw this and caught it or even cares but I thought I'd share it.
Stephen Colbert (or at least someone in his graphics dept.) is a Lost fan. Look at what I noticed during last nights episode of The Colbert Report.

This check is dated the day Oceanic flight 815 crashed, 09-22-2004. the check number is 4815, 4 - 8 - 15. And it's made out to Jeremy Bentham, who was also a real person and I thought that was who they were referencing until I noticed the date and check number.

must read....
Dude...
So Ms Hawking is totally Dan's mother.
She's also the chick who held him at gunpoint last night!
Yeah, but the big "Holy Crap" moment was that Whitmore was on the Island. Is Whitmore Faraday's father? And what's up with that Asian guy being able to recognize recently buried soldiers buy walking over their graves? Have they mentioned his ability before and I just missed it?
Ok. I gotta say this... It's Widmore. With a 'd'.
No, it doesn't really matter but, it bothers me for no good reason. Not picking on just you, k.
Anyway, I knew we'd see Widmore on the island eventually. I don't know about him being Dan's father... not outside the realm of possibility, though.
As for Miles, it was established last season that he not only sees dead people but he talks to them too.

Man, I gotta start paying closer attention. I don't know if this show would be nearly as successful without the internet. My wife doesn't read message boards at all and she is totally lost (no pun intended).
I actually typed 'Widmore' and then re-spelled it Whitmore. I was going to look it up, but said, f' it, who cares? I guess the answer to that is: RJ.
Widmore could totaly be Faraday's father. And I thought that the woman who held him at gunpoint was his mother as well.
Miles can not only talk to dead people, he reads people's subconcious' or something. Remember the first time he met Michael on the freighter, when Michael was going by Kevin Johnson. Miles said "Your name's not Kevin Johnson".
Miles is a wild card. I can't wait to see how they play him.
Watched it last night and was fired up.
Widmore (right RJ? :-D) being on the island was a great "WOW" moment.
My question is, when they bury the h2o bomb, what connection will that have with the future? Is that why they have to keep pushing the button? Is that what causes the material in the island to make time travel possible?
And I do think it is in the realm of possibility that Widmore and the girl that held Faraday captive are his parents, which would explain why Widmore is paying for his research and for the girl that has her mind f'd up from time travel experiments.
But why would Faraday's mom help Ben? Did Widmore screw her over at some point? No pun intended...

Widmore has been trying to return to the island for some time...

Also, I liked the Locke/Alpert relationship. Makes sense why Richard showed up at Locke's house when he was a kid and showed him the objects. Locke picked the compass, but Richard was upset that he picked it. Obviously this was the beginning of John's leadership training, but why was Richard so upset he picked the compass? Did it prove John right? And Richard knew what he had told him was true?

He wasn't upset that Locke picked the compass:
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Cabin_Fever
QuoteRichard tells John that he wants him to look at a few objects, think about them, and tell him which of them are his. The boy thinks Richard means "to keep" but Alpert clarifies, "Which of these things belong to you already?" He lays out on the table a baseball glove, a book entitled "Book of Laws" (possibly referring to the holy text of the Bahá'í faith), a small container of granules, a compass, a comic book entitled "Mystery Tales", and a knife. John immediately claims the container of the granules and inspects and claims the compass. John starts towards the "Book of Laws", at which point Richard looks hopeful. Instead, he picks up the knife, to which Richard seems disappointed and angry. He asks John if he is sure, and after he nods affirmatively, Richard snatches the knife from his hand and takes the other items away. He puts these back into his bag and stands up quickly. Florence enters the room and asks how John did. Richard responds sternly that John is not quite ready for his school and walks out of the house. Florence scolds John, asking what he did wrong, as he looks down dejectedly.
That's right. Knowledge dropped.
I remember he was upset, but I forgot it was because of the knife and not the book of law. Even better.
Thanks RJ!

(http://www.mysafework.com/files/u8/david_caruso.jpg)
Seeing LOST being compared to a "show" like CSI: Miami makes me nauseous. F'real.
No comparison on the show, just Faraday's tone.
CSI:Miami is sickening.
Puhlease.
I'm about to never read this thread again if you people would compare Dan Faraday who is the badass nerd that's gonna save the world to that ass mucher David Caruso.
Seriously.
Caruso = asshat who deserves a folding metal chair to the face
Faraday = dude who is rapidly becoming one of my favorite characters on Lost
I'm with you RJ both on David Caruso being an asshat, and on Faraday kicking ass.
His tone is the way it is because he knows more than he can let on. We'll know why he's like that before too long I think.
Oh yeah, CSI: Miami is frickin' horrible!!!! I love CSI & CSI: New York though.
You're not supposed to take David Caruso seriously on CSI: Miami.
At least, I don't think you are... 8-)
No comparison of how badass Faraday is. He is like the new Locke for me, in the sense that he has some sort of pull that things revolve around.
His tone is a bit dramatic, but I understand he has so much knowledge about this stuff he doesn't want to reveal it all, hence, the dramatic tone.

Escaping peril and confessing your love for a gorgeous woman with the same statement is PIMP.

yikes.
Clearly Daniel Faraday disagrees and that is what matters.
dont see how that matters at all, was commenting on matt's post
Daniel faraday thinks she's gorgeous, therefore he's professing his love for a gorgeous woman.
That's SER.

I just rewatched last week's episode and the woman who held the gun on Faraday is Most Definatly his mother! Widmore calls her 'Ellie' and the old woman's name is Eloise Hawkins.
And Charlotte comes in third, behind Kate and Juliette, in hotness.
zzzOMG!!!
I just sent a text to a friend:

And if anybody did survive that explosion, they're dead now. They didn't have an island to swim back to. You can only tread water for so long.
I guess I stand corrected. :-)

I will be interested to see how they explain that one. I knew he wasn't dead so this will have to be one darn good explanation.
He was on deck, was thrown clear and lost consciousness after climbing about the piece of debris.
Pretty simple, really. I doubt you'll ever get more than that as they have far bigger fish to fry.

Or a really weak one, which is probably that Jin jumped off the boat, survived the explosion and then was inside the radius of the island and got zapped back in time to when Rousseau's group landed on the island. I hope it's better than that, anyway. That's just cheating, like Annie said in Misery.
QuoteAnd it crashed and burned and I was so upset and excited, and the next week, you better believe I was first in line. And they always start with the end of the last week. And there was Rocketman, trying to get out, and here comes the cliff, and just before the car went off the cliff, he jumped free! And all the kids cheered! But I didn't cheer. I stood right up and started shouting. This isn't what happened last week! Have you all got amnesia? They just cheated us! This isn't fair! HE DID'NT GET OUT OF THE COCK - A - DOODIE CAR!

I don't like it, if that's what they give. Why did the helicopter not go with the island? It was on it's way back to the island and was much closer than Jin. With all the answers and tie-ins, they should have something better than that to explain it.
Maybe there was an enormous trampoline on the freighter and Jin happen to jump on it just as the boat exploded. Due to the bounce from the tramp and the amplified thrust from the explosion, Jin was propelled past the helicopter at a tremendously rapid speed into the radius of the island, thus thrusting him into the time warp of the island. :roll:

I agree there has to be some flex area with acceptance, but they are doing a great job of tying in multiple things that you wouldn't normally think were going to be tied in. And this is the "season for answers, not more questions" as touted by the writers.
I will accept whatever they give me, but I hope for more, especially from such a well thought out show like Lost.
The producers have already said, in this week's podcast, that he was tossed into he water after the blast and floated within the sphere of the island's influence.
The helicopter being 'outside' is a wrinkle to that but the island does what it does and we love it.

I still wanna know what happened to Bernard & Rose though, damnit.

Wow. That was fantastic!
I knew Lapidus would be involved.
Also loved that Hugo was reading another spanish comic book. He was reading one on flight 815.
Great episode.
edit:
I'm pretty sure Ben killed Penny, or at least attacked her and Desmond. His 'Promise to an Old Friend'.
The guy who gave condolences to Jack in the airport looked familiar. Anyone recognize him?
Also, not sure if anyone mentioned this yet. Don't see much of a connection beside the name, but someone might
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Faraday
Great episode. Glad they put Lapidus back with them all. Can't wait to find out for sure what Ben "favor" was and also what happened to Aaron.
The condolences guy seems like he is important in some way. They wouldn't put it in the show if it didn't come up later.
What time/when do you think it is when they get back to the island?
They got back to the island during Dharma Initiative's time period. Jin was driving a new dharma van and wearing a new dharma jumpsuit, also Faraday was already shown during the building of the Orchid station and Charlotte told him that when she was a little girl on the island he told her to leave and never return.
Michael Faraday was who inspired the name of the Daniel Faraday character.
And I still stand by Ben's 'Promise' was killing Penny. Remember he told Charles Widmore that he would find and kill his daughter, Penny, for the death of his daughter, Alex. And when they showed Ben all covered in blood and hectic, he was on a dock. Penny and Desmond lived in a Boat, which would be kept at a dock while they were in LA to see Ms. Hawkins.
I too wonder what happened to Aaron though. And what the hell happened to Rose and Bernard!! I want to know damnit!! I mean I know they're b-chartacters but they've been developed so much more than any of the other b-characters in the show, so I guess that they are A minus characters.

Good points here. I figured since Locke "fixed" the wheel and they were in the time of young Ruessau (sp) that was where they end up staying. And that makes sense with the Faraday clip in the Orchid and Charlotte seeing Faraday as a little girl.

Tip top on all points.
Rose and Bernard will be back and are not dead. Where there are is bugging me, too, though. I have a theory about them that i'm keeping to myself for now.
John 3:16
"that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"
I don't know about you guys, but I think this is beyond epic.
Very crazy episode. I need to watch it again.
For those that missed it, the episode was titled "316"
You saw Ben reading James Joyce's
Ulysses on the plane. Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse told viewers to read this book on one of the Dharma Special Access videos. A quote from page 316 of the novel is also hidden in the source code of the Ajira Airways website. The final chapter is named "Penelope".
The quote is:
QuoteSo off they started about Irish sport and shoneen games the like of lawn tennis and about hurley and putting the stone and racy of the soil and building up a nation once again and all of that.
Weird, I'm reading Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" right now. Great, but confusing, book.

Fantastic novel dealing with time travel. And the ability to be unstuck from time. Ahh, the Trafaldamorans(sp) and their time travel abilities...
As for Ulysses, a parallel of the Odyssey, the main character being Odysseus and his wife Molly parallels Penelope (hence the title of the last chapter).
I'm registering this theory before tonight's show airs. I don't read spolers so this is purely based on officially broadcast stuff and my own brainiac poawers of deduction.
Locke, the cop (who was escorting Sayid) and who knows who else have landed in what we shall call (for lack of a better frame of reference) the present time. They are on the island AFTER the Oceanic 6 left in 2005. In fact it's possibly 2008 for them just as it was when they left.
Jack, Kate, Hurley and the "left-behinds" are clearly in the 70s during Dharma's era but who else landed in that time?
Speaking of books and Lost...has anyone else read "The Third Policeman" by Flann O'Brien?
It was listed early on as a favorite of the Creators and the Writers...
I just re-read it this month...great little book.
holy shit
(I say that a lot Wednesday nights, about 10 PM)
I gotta say, I didn't see that coming. This season is great!
Good episode with a few nice points. I like Widmore's appearance and the idea he may be a "good" guy as opposed to Ben.
I kind of figured (go ahead an naysay) that Ben was around with Locke for his demise and assumed he had a hand in on it.
I felt a little meh afterward, but thinking back it was a solid episode. Moves the story along and had some great parts.
So is Locke the Christ-figure, or what?
Locke is the savior.
I also felt, prior to the episode, that Ben had a hand in Locke's death.
As for Widmore being a "good guy" I don't buy it. He manipulated Locke in his own way. Both Widmore and Linus will stop at nothing to get what they want. They also both believe that they are fully justified in their actions.

True. Both are manipulators. It's almost the case of the lesser of two evils.
It will be interesting to see what the "war" of which Widmore speaks will be and who will be fighting in it.
I feel like Locke will be the one who gets the island in the end. Or will he become as devoted to the island and it's protection/use as Ben and Widmore?
My question (and probably everyone's) is why did Locke's mentioning of Eloise Hawking drive Ben so nuts? Perhaps Ben was going to kill Locke after he got the rest of the Oceanic 6 back together, but before they went to see Eloise to go back to the island? But when he found out Locke already knew about her he didn't want Locke to ever meet her?
Ben didn't know Hawking was his ticket home.
He was gonna hang with Locke and try to hitch a ride but Locke laid all the cards on the table so Ben didn't need him anymore.

agreed. or - Ben knew that Locke had to die and "come back" (remember a prior episode when Jack asked Ben about John, and you could sorta tell that Ben knew something Jack didn't, like John wasn't dead forever). Either way, it seemed like Ben delayed John's death for the purpose of getting info.
food for thought - what will happen to Sun (and her child)? Remember that women who conceive on the island don't have good outcomes.
Sun is there, safely for now. Her child is in Korea.

Actually...
Sun & Frank & Ben & Locke are not quite in the Present.
Their flight left LA in 2008.
When it 'landed' they were in 2007. The fact that Locke is alive is entirely due to this time discrepancy.
I'm working with a friend to flesh out a timeline that shows 'when' things happen in island time vs real time based on a wide range of sources...
Example: Flight 815 left Australia in 2004 but, when they crashed, Island time was 1996.
As soon as we have it all worked out, I'll post it for ya.

I didn't even think about the time discrepancies, it hasn't really gotten a whole lot attention other than when Faraday did his rocket experiment when he first got to the island. But this being the second to last season, it's really starting to worry me that TPTB aren't going to be able to fully explain everything about what the island really is. I truly hope they do, but I have a feeling that when it finally happens most people aren't going to be satisfied by what we are told.

Very interesting theory.
I can't get enough.
If you want more questions than answers then don't read this.
Here is a time loop theory:
http://www.timelooptheory.com/the_timeline.html
wow.
i'm wondering if that last scene might get some controversial "too inappropriate for TV" reviews?
Ben gave Sayid a book in the beginning that said something about two realities, I wonder if this is in a new reality?
Let me guess, he's didn't kill him.
he was wearing a flack jacket.
great episode
:-o
That was NUTS!
It all goes back to what Faraday said in an earlier episode, that they can't change anything, Sayid shooting Ben as a child is what leads him to what he becomes/became when Sayid first met him. And my theory is that Ben remembers all of them, all of them that are now part of the Dharma Initiative are the same ones who were first brought to "Otherton" by Micheal when he was trying to get Walt back and when the got off the island. I think that Ben remembered them all from his childhood, and was told by one of them what was happening to them and that they were from the future (possibly Richard?). That's why they were the ones chosen and that's how he was able to have such large files and know almost everything about their lives in what seemed like a very short amount of time. This is because he had been watching them and gathering all of this information about them over a long period of time, knowing that they were going to show up and roughly when. What does all of that mean and what is it going to lead up to, I have no idea, but it's what I came up with while watching the episode tonight.
I'd say it's quite unlikely for lil Ben to be dead as that would create a mighty paradox.

I like it. Totally makes sense with how prepared the "others" were when the plane crashed.
Also, no comment on the "truth serum" scene from anyone?

LSD has been tested as a truth serum and, it's way hipper.
Tested and used by the CIA during the '60s and '70s.
And way
hippier :wink:.
I mean check out Horace. Those Dharma dudes are total hippies. They have the VW buses to prove it. :-D

" Namaste,
maaaan. Welcome to the
iiiisland!" :-D
But, seriously though, I didn't know that they tested LSD as a 'truth serum' back then. I guess it makes more sense given that they are in 1977.
And, while we're still on the topic...Was I the only one who thought at first that they were going to dose him really hard, and then torture him to get him to talk? I mean, the way they pumped up that character, and basically told Sayid that "they don't want to have to resort to that". And, Sawyer really stressed that he wanted to talk to him first, before they sent him to that "psycho". Just curious if anyone else thought that at first.
I thought it was going to be much nastier than that.
But then again, the Dharma people seem very non-violent, so that makes sense why they didn't rough him up.
I thought that was a weird oversell at first but then it struck me that Sawyer would not be worried about Sayid talking under traditional torture methods of interrogation. It's the chemicals that are so hard to beat that had Sawyer scared.

I approve of this poll
what did you all think of lost this week?
I wish more had happened. the suspense is killing me.
I thought it was good. Not amazing, but not bad by any means. I really liked that they finally explained where Aaron went. And, I loved the scene when they took Ben to Richard. They were able to save Ben from dying, but couldn't save him from becoming "Ben".
Next week looks bad assed. From what I saw at least. My DVR cut off in the middle of the preview. :frustrated:
I am wondering if Claire's mother knows anything about her father being on the island?
I liked the info on what Kate did with Aaron.
And the conversation with Richard was great.
Anyone catch the line about Ellie not being happy about this, along with Charles? Richard replied with "I don't answer to them." :-o
I also found the Hurley/Miles conversation to be humorous and LOL'd at the Back to the Future reference.
Good episode. Next week looks CRAZY! Judgment for Ben.

By saving Ben's life, they were creating "Ben" and since Jack wouldn't save his life at the camp, he essentially creates Ben. And Jack thought by not saving his life it would fix things. :roll:
/sorry for the double post
Jack didn't think he would fix anything by not saving Ben's life. Jack just chose an awkward moment to wake the fuck up and surrender to the flow. Jack has been swimming upstream for the entire series and he's finally getting with the program.
Remember the name of last night's episode (and the entire premise of the time-travel lesson that Miles was trying to give to Hurley) "Whatever Happened Happened."
You can't change it.
They were always a part of Ben's past.
Personally, my favorite parts were learning why Kate came back and, even more so, the look in Ben's eyes when he woke up and saw Locke alive.

Agreed. I also like how Jack has changed to Locke's point of view. He seems to be more a man of faith than science.
Just when u think it can't get any better it does!!!!!
I can't wait to find out what happened to everyone else since 1977.
And why did Sun not end up with them on the other island.
Ahhh still so many questions. And I have to wait another 7days!!!
whoa - another great ep
anyone remember what Juliette said to Sawyer when Jack and co. came back that prompted Sawyer to say "you were right, don't say I told you so"?
also, does Eloise Hawkins (as a mother) remind anyone else of Angela Lansbury in the original Manchurian Candidate?
Totally called Widmore as Faraday's daddy.
Crazy ep. Totally awesome.

My wife and I both called it at the beginning of the episode.
Can't wait to find out what is going to happen. I don't think the survivors are going to let Jack blow the H2 bomb as the previews foretell. All of their lives pre-crash were not going very well and I don't think they are going to want to go back to that life. Kate> going to jail; Locke> wheelchair; Jack> boozer/pill popper; Sawyer> running away; Bernard and wife> cancer.
I still believe that 'whatever happened, happened' and I do not think that Jack & Kate will be able to stop what happens over at the Swan. Faraday defined them as Variables in the equation because their future was still being written as they moved forward but, for everyone else on the island, the Future is already written, it has already happened.
The incident will occur, the button will be built. Hydrogen bomb or not.

Agreed. I don't see the writers establishing rules, reaffirming them and then changing said rules at the last minute.
But what about Eloise's comment about "not knowing what is going to happen for the first time?"
Dan has told her what would happen up to a certain point...
does Dan's death prevent him from going to the island when we first met him, before the crew escaped last season?
IMO, I don't think he is actually dead. But he kept saying this is their present and the future has already happened. That's why he didn't' have a scar on his neck from the bullet. That future has already happened. So he will still do all of the things he has done.

I agree. I do not think he's dead.
Fantastic episode last night. I loved the scene when Widmore admitted to Dan that he staged the plane recovery.
Still trying to figure out why Daniel's Mom would let him go back if she knew he would be shot by her. Unless he doesn't really die and she knows that his knowledge is needed to "save" the island.

I was wondering that myself and I was thinking that maybe she realizes that since she remembered it happening, it had to happen sometime and she knew she couldn't stop it. It was going to happen one way or the other.
Of course, that's just a guess.
She sent him back because he had other work to do. She cannot change the past (remember the lecture she gave to Desmond?)
Dan is dead. The producers said as much in the podcast yesterday.

I felt it was a great episode. Not a let down in any way for me. Only got me more fired up for next weeks finale.
ehh.. just finished watching
nothing 'really' happened, so i was a little dissapointed..
i usually download and watch all my tv shows on my computer and its funny that this hour long show is actually only about 35 minutes long, minus the opening previously on and commercials.. :x
It was a setup.
The pieces are in place for The Incident.
Good episode. Definitely set up some craziness for the finale.
I wonder if we're actually going to "see" Jacob.

From what I've been reading on one of the Lost message boards (4815162842.com (http://4815162842.com)) that there was an actor hired for episodes that have been filmed for this season and as of now he hasn't appeared yet, so it seams likely that this is going to be Jacob, if we actually see him or is he going to just be in the shadows again is anyone's guess. My guess is that it's going to be the big reveal that ends the episode. Also, does anyone know if the finale is going to be a double episode or just and hour?

Sweet, I always feel cheated when shows like this only have a one hour finale (like they owe me or something :roll:).
Yep. Jacob has been cast.
Cannot wait.
Hard to believe that people are still complaining about single episodes of what is probably the best serial drama on TV ever.
I thought it was a fantastic episode, and gave us probably the funniest LOST moment ever - Candle quizzing Hurley about the year he was born, Korean war, US president, etc.
Young Eloise is hot too.

That was hilarious. "You fought in the Korean War?" "There's no such thing." :lol:

I think that you missed the point of what I was trying to say. I just meant that a finale is supposed to be an event, and having that event just be a regular old episode, even if it's the best show on television, makes it feel like less than it could be, less of an event and just an episode with an extra big reveal/cliffhager at the end. To have the proper tension built for the episode it is far more effective, I feel, if you keep the audience on the edge of their seat for that extra hour, just toying with them.

WOW
epic
I went back and watched the very 1st scene again, where the guy says to Jacob - you know how badly I want to kill you.
question for the English lit experts here - I was reminded a bit of Paradise Lost (from what little I can remember).
Are there any parallels?
It does have that feel of good and evil and the fall from grace. Especially the part about knowing what will happen when the boat arrives- progress and then destruction. (can't remember the exact words but you get the drift) Also the stuff about 'free-will' and such. Very biblical overtones. I feel like Jacob is the 'god' figure and the other guy is the devil figure.
Need to watch it a second time.
Get your summary on:
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Incident,_Parts_1_%26_2
exactly what I expected, big white flash to end.
Jacod - god
other guy - devil
jacob will rise up to save them. He was trapped in purgatory and now can ascend to heaven, hence the "save me" in the cabin when Locke first went there
they will all be back in 2007 following the flash, including Julia.
The island is going to be some sort of bridge between heaven and hell or is actually both
My theory on "a candidate" as which the pilot was referred. A candidate/body for Jacob to inhabit since he was killed? Jacob will come back in that body, similar to what happened to Locke's body with "other guy."
And when Jacob says "they're coming" is he referring to Jack and Kate and them from the past or the people from the plane crash?
Btw, "they're coming" -- the same way season 1 or 2 (can't remember) ended when the French lady said it about the others when they see the smoke.
Just some thoughts.

Possibly, except for Julia, I think that she is dead. Mainly because she's on a new show that starts next season, maybe if it gets canceled she'll be back, but I don't think so.
Juliette.
I think she's definitely dead. That was one hell of a fall, and like Chad pointed out, she has a new series that she's working on (if it gets picked up).
yeah, Juliette is dead. The went out of their way to show Jacob meeting all of the Oceanic folks and touching them at some point in their life, except Julia. He wasn't there when her parents announce the divorce.
Interesting twist too. Jacob could only be killed by the leader. As Locke was dead when he returned to the island, Ben never stopped being the leader and Ben kills Jacob.
They're coming I think refers to the Oceanic folks. Loophole of some kind for Jacob.
As for the candidate thing, I was thinking as either someone to replace Richard or new leader of some kind.
Best line of the show may have been Rose when they found her and Bernard "ahhh Hell no!"
Rose & Bernard are the characters in LOST which annoy me most.

I still want to find out-
why Richard doesn't age
who (or what) are the Others, why are they there?
ComicCon was this past weekend.

Locke is the only one with his back to the camera.
Remind anyone of anything?

No other show has produced the kinds of responses in me – truly amazing! People keep saying it... we've not seen anything yet... I cannot even begin to fathom what is going to happen!!
We're strapping in our safety belts and careening into Season 3 as this week goes on... being immersed in Lost, new Phish, great books and a beautiful family... these are great times!
I'll see you in other threads until were caught up... then definitely in this one!

My wife and I did the same thing about a 9 months ago... burned through the 5 seasons in no time. And I'll quaduple the "you ain't seen nothing yet" remarks. Could be my all time favorite show.
When's season 6 start?
Feb. I believe.
they orig. said jan 2010, but now i have heard feb as well. just let this show be over already. I have never loved a show and still hated it at the end of every episode :frustrated:
Over???
I don't want it to end.
They did add an extra hour to the season, btw.
We made it through the episode list night where Sawyer gets the fish cookie from the rat trap - "The bears did it in 2 hours" -- ha ha!
Now we're trying to theorize who the hell the others actually are... 3 more episodes planned for tonight -- this rules!

Approaching the end of season 3 - last night a few of them learned that they all very well might be dead... reports that the plane wreckage was actually found 4 miles under the ocean.
Sawyer choked that slimy bastard on the Black Rock - that was intense...

need to watch them all again before the DVD release.
Season 3 ended last night... holy sh!t
Season 4 begins tonight!!
QuoteIt get's intense in season 4. Strap yourself in for one helluva ride.

The final scene of the season 3 finale had to have been one of the biggest "shocker" moments in the whole series. At least it was for me. I didn't see it coming at all.
It just keeps getting better and better.
Watched first 2 episodes of Season 4 last night... fuggin sweet btu I gotta say I am really confused right now -- 3 more episodes tonight!!
time to start the last season already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Not really Lost related but, I watched an episode of Matlock with John Locke! It was a pretty cool episode, Locke explained to Matlock how he was gonna kill his friend and then did it and Matlock had to prove it.
Might I add that this viewing was accompanied by a little wake n' bake. :mrgreen:
I would hope so if you were watching Matlock

Cos I'm not so sure about Hurley... I saw a spoiler about a vat of ranch dressing...
:(
That part about the ranch dressing better not be true. I'm done with this thread...
Ha.. The vat of ranch dressing is about the only part that was true. :lol:

Feel free to post impressions as you go. It's offseason now so there shouldn't be too much chatter about Jack's sex change from last season's finale.
NO promises, though.
Wait, Jack got another sex change? So he's back to being a man?
Just make sure you don't talk about when Hurley got abducted by aliens, and I'm sure he'll be fine.

All of which reminds me... have any of you seen the casting 'spoilers' for the upcoming season? I put 'spoilers' in quotes because they've been published in Entertainment Weekly and such so they aren't too spoilerish but I'm reluctant to write about it here.
Let's just say, I'm excited.
^^^ I've been avoiding all things related to the upcoming season. If you do decide to post them here please make sure that your post mentioned spoiler like 10 times before the spoiler section. I like the element of surprises!
The official rule is "No unaired spoilers".
If the show has aired on both coasts then we can discuss it.

Perhaps you could just post a link with a **POSSIBLE SPOILER** label, because I'd love to see that, and I'm sure there are others. Also, it would be just for reading purposes...no discussion of it in here.
My own personal rule is to avoid
real spoilers. Anything that is officially released by the producers/writers/cast is all good with me (including casting info, etc.). But, I know some people who won't even watch the previews at the end of each episode, because they consider it a spoiler. So, I guess it's kind of hard to get a clear definition that everyone agrees with. :|
I would recommend that folks follow the LOST coverage on ew.com Entertainment Weekly seems to get some good access and where they don't have access, they make up interesting stuff.
netflix has seasons 1-4 now in hd. Time for re-watches, i think i can do all 5 seasons again before season 6 without my head exploding.
I picked up "Via Domus" for 360 today. It's pretty entertaining so far. Plus it's divided up into episodes, with 'previously on's' and everything.

I am thinking I am going to have to read some blogs to refresh my mind on everything that has happened. It seems like so long ago since last season. I can't wait for season 6. It can't come soon enough.
I'm hoping syfy or G4 will have a marathon of season 5 before season 6 starts.

Gonna be a quiet week @ work so I'm watching season 5... On Jughead (s5e03) now.
So great the layers of this show...
alright, now it's getting better - now that Jack and the rest of the crew have got back to the island and all those flashes have stopped (at least for now?)
Buckle up, dude.
1/2 way thru the last episode - had to stop because my wife had a bash to go tonight..will finish it up in the am...meh start to the season but eventually pulled itself together...can't wait til Feb!
:frustrated: why isn't feb 2nd today :frustrated:

I watched the first 2 seasons on dvd and jummping into the TV versions was definatly a big change. Commercials take away from the paceing of the storytelling.

Waiting a week between episodes can be torturous.
Waiting until after the season has aired to watch it would not work.
I'd go nuts waiting any longer.
I've watched almost every episode "live" since the premiere.
The anticipation makes it better.

I'll agree with you guys on anxious, but it didn't make me angry. Anyhow, we can't really go into any in depth conversation about it, since a lot of folks would consider it a major spoiler.

Desmond did not attempt to return to the island.
The day of the Ajira Air flight, Ben shot Desmond while attempting to kill Penny. Desmond managed to beat the living hell out of Ben and save Penny's life.
Then he was taken to the hospital where Penny met Eloise Hawking for the first time... Widmore was there too but he didn't go into the hospital.
thanks.
it's all coming back to me.
I remember Ben getting on the plane covered with blood...
just watched.

if your mind wasn't blown before think about this. the plane scene, if everything worked out, then the bomb "jughead" exploded. which means that Widmore was still on the island when it went off. Hes dead. no penny no nothing. so jack and desmond never met while jack was running the Tour de stade in the stadium. and since that was the original flight 815, and desmond was on it, of course the plane wouldnt have crashed since he is the one who made it happen in the first place. BOOM!!!!

not the first time but according to last night, he was returning from sydney. what could that mean? i don't know. and something else i got caught up on was when jack got extra booze. in the pilot he got two extra (one for the drink and one for the cut that kate stitched up. this time he gets one. :| could be nothing but i doubt it.

I think he meant "was he '

true
but - was Desmond really on the plane?
not the first time but according to last night, he was returning from sydney. what could that mean? i don't know. and something else i got caught up on was when jack got extra booze. in the pilot he got two extra (one for the drink and one for the cut that kate stitched up. this time he gets one. :| could be nothing but i doubt it.
I think he meant "was he 'really' on the plane?".

thank you - that is what I meant.
Jack looked around for Desmond a few times after that, and couldn't find him. I think he also asked the flight attendant about him too.
but - Jezmund brings up several good points
just finished watching...this show pretty much rules face :crazy:
any calls for tonight :-D im saying it here first that the next death is richard. and why does this guy thats possessing locke scare him so much :|

The actor who played Walt is waaayyyyy to old now to be in the show at this point, unless they're going to flash forward 7 years or so.
John saw him last season in NYC, Nothing is irreversible and watch those vids that MC just posted. Part one says it was fate that him and michael were not on the plane this time

Truer words were never spoken rj.
I love the show, but I think the last episode sucked, imo.
So little info was given and it felt like it just strung us along for an hour to just tell us one or two things.
But I am hoping they did that to get to the next episode which will blow us away.

Really?
Claire, alive, on the island and acting like the french woman (whose name I cannot spell)
Clair being 'infected' as is Sayid... was Danielle (ok, I can spell her first name) infected too?
Jack actually regrowing a spine (irony!) and standing up for someone who trusts him again
Jack seeking to understand the world around him again rather than grasping at whatever straw is closest (which is what he's done for years)
Sawyer's journey as a human to a point in his life where he can not only love another but take responsibility for his own actions (I can't wait to see where this takes him.)
Ethan was evacuated on the sub and survived to be a doctor in LA!
Kate and Claire are entangled...FATE FTW!?!
The return of Aldo from Room 23 (where Kate hit him in the head with a gun rescuing Karl) who actually speaks directly about the black smoke and the clicking noise that accompanies it
There is a lot going on. Not every moment will be an item for your questions checklist but they are moving toward something.

One man's trash... :-P
But seriously, you do make good points on what was learned, but the episode wasn't on my "best evah" list. /just saying
Although the end with Claire was pretty friggin sweet.
Sure, it's not best ever but, if you aren't enjoying the hell out of each of these episodes, you're letting a good thing slip by.

I love it every time it's on. I think my expectations are uber-high for this season and this was a good grounding episode for me.
I do the like the question of whether or not the French woman was infected. That would explain a lot and add to the craziness to which Claire's return has brought.
it's been hard not to read this thread but i'm doing ok....
i'm at the point i wanna watch episode 2, but i have two options....
enhanced or not enhanced...
difference in the episodes?
b/c there's no difference in viewing, like HD or something.
Enhanced is cool. It saves you the trouble of overthinking or researching some of the references...

that episode was pretty twisted
Thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Great stuff that added more questions, but still seemed to give us some answers, imo.
Any episode with more Fake Locke in it makes me happy.
My question this morning is...
Why isn't Kate one of the 6 numbers? And could the Kwon that's #42 be Ji Yeon? That would make a nice little twist.

i was thinking about the kwon question. I was thinking it had to be jin last night since suns maiden name wasn't kwon. but jacob did meet them at their wedding when she became a kwon as well. Shot in the dark but I am banking thats its sun.

great episode, but if you got some answers than I guess your better than me.
the major new question, is that Sawyer was invited to leave, but I would think that he can't, because he's already in LA.
are they all trapped?
btw, anyone recognize the song that was playing when Sawyer was alone drinking? I'm sure there must be some significance to it.

I just realized there were 6 names, forgot Reyes. That would be why my post didn't make sense. Kate isn't a candidate, as the other 6 appear to be.
So in otherwords, nevermind my earlier post.
But I do feel as though Aaron has some importance to the show still and will come back to play a part later.
And slslbs, as for answers, I guess I didn't mean definitive answers, but ideas to where everything could be going. The stuff with Fake Locke wanting to get off the island and he seems to need help to do so, which is his concern rather than staying on the island to protect it. Although I am curious why he wants to go "home" and where that might be and why it's better than the island.
Or the fact that Jacob could return (child in the woods or if someone replaces him as Fake Locke mentioned to Sawyer as an option).
Whatever, I am rambling.

Sawyer isn't in LA and yet he is.
The flash-sideways shows an alternate timeline so, if Sawyer leaves the island with the Man In Black (MIB) he can certainly go to LA and it will be the same LA in which Locke was killed and Jack was miraculously drunk driving without consequence.

kate not being a name on there is really starting to bug me. All the names are people that Jacob had come and met with; and he did meet with kate when she was young and trying to steal from that shop. Why is she not on there? :frustrated: I HATE WHAT THIS SHOW DOES TO MY BRAIN!!
just thought of something - the rules. The little kid (?young Jacob) told "Locke" he couldn't kill Sawyer - it was against the rules.
so, are people who aren't on the list fair game? that would leave Kate and Ben. Claire's father was Shepard, so how about Claire and Aaron?
btw, can't wait to see what will happen with Claire.

These guy's:
Jimmy Explains the LOST Smoke Monster/Secrets of LOST - Damon and Carlton Smoke Monster (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfIj4q1g5gs#ws)
So I re-watched the episode and I really enjoyed the speech by the MIB to Sawyer in the woods. He totally manipulates him to do what he wants. I don't know if he is serious or not, but I totally think he just played Sawyer, which is ironic as Sawyer was a con man. I love the acting of the guy that plays Locke and MIB. He does such a good job.

/but seriously, did you see that? I didn't see the name on the dial. I was originally thinking it might be Aaron. Somehow he will need to come back to the island. That could be a connection with Jack, as it's his nephew.
But I don't know...
Thoughts on who the visitor to the island is going to be?
Agreed on how crazy Claire is, too. Wow.
No idea who this Wallace person is.

And why is the name crossed off?

What a show...
Maybe I missed something (I'll have to re-watch), but didn't Jacob admit that the whole "new visitor" thing was just a way to get Jack to realize his importance/purpose on the island?

I thought he said the "new visitor" would just need to find a different way to get to the island, but not telling Hugo why and what Jack had to do was because Jack needed to realize his importance on his own, rather than Jacob just telling him (like he did with Hugo).

Heard a great theory today that the flash sideways thing going on isn't that at all. It is the end, but rather than having a what happens episode at the end you are seeing pieces throughout and they will show how that became the new reality of what happened to everyone after the event.
Thoughts?
ending a show like this on such sour notes is more poor of a choice then the end of the Sopranos. these flashes are def. what they look like, the losties lives if the island didn't exsist(or sitting at the bottom of the ocean)

I find it interesting that you can detect the note on which they are ending so many episodes out from the actual finish.
Have they not carried you this far?
Have some faith.
Oh, and they said in last week's podcast that the flashes are NOT an alternate reality.
edit to add:
13 hours of LOST remain.
Got behind, but now I'm caught up.
Loved the Kate episode.
Really loved the Locke episode.
The Jack episode was good on the Island but the son stuff was boring, but I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together with the Claire storyline there.
Did we know Jack had a kid? I was SER confused.
Jack with a son was new.

Most of the episode was solid, but the last 10 minutes was great.
Loved the last scene where everyone was following MIB into the jungle.

wow
i find the "rules of engagement" interesting. MIB can't kill the candidates, couldn't get in the temple with Dogan there, and after last night it seems obvious (I think) that Dogan wasn't allowed to kill Said.
cool the way Kate and MIB were eyeballing each other.

No spoilers.. just fan questions answered:

********
Relax, it's not just you. As answers start rolling in at an overwhelming pace in Lost's final season, our skulls are similarly swirling. So we posed your queries to usually tight-lipped exec producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, as well as to the show's stars as they prepare to shoot their last two episodes ever.
Is it significant that Jacob met Hurley after he left the island as opposed to the other "candidates," whom he met pre-crash? -Denise Nash, Islip, N.Y.
"I was wondering about that, too!" admits Jorge Garcia (Hurley). "If the people Jacob visited before the crash were drawn to the island because of his influence, then what would have drawn Hurley to the island?" Apollo Bars, maybe? Actually, says Lindelof, "the more operative question is 'How long was Jacob watching Hurley?'"
Why was Sun the only one out of the Oceanic Six to not travel back to 1977? -Elizabeth, via e-mail
Yunjin Kim believes the motive was a practical one: "To delay Sun and Jin's reunion," she says. The good news: Kim says she has shot an on-island reunion scene with Jin, though "it is very brief but for a good reason." Uh-oh.
If Oceanic Flight 815 never crashed and landed safely in Los Angeles, then are all those who died-Libby, Michael, Shannon-still alive? -Michael Davis, Bronx
In some instances, yes, as with Locke's girlfriend Helen, Sayid's love Nadia, Charlotte and Shannon, who is alive and will reappear toward the end of the season. But for folks like Michael and Libby, it ain't looking good. "I'm still dead, dead, dead," reveals Harold Perrineau, who recently shot two upcoming island scenes with Garcia where they discuss Libby.
The date on Claire's ultrasound- as seen in the Season 6 premiere-says 10-22-04. Oceanic Flight 815 crashed on 9-22-04. Where did the month go? -Victoria Caruso, Valley Stream, N.Y.
"Actually, that was her due date," clarifies Lindelof.
If the castaways traveled forward in time after the bomb, how is the VW van still in mint condition? It should have aged! -Connie Dirig, Ind.
"Unlike in the Terminator movies, when we time travel, we travel with our clothes on-which is a good thing," says Garcia with a laugh. "So I guess if we were in contact with the van at the time, it's possible the van came with us. Or perhaps just the island traveled, as we stayed exactly where we were, like Juliet, who ended up in more or less the same spot-just a little more messed up." (As in dead!)
Last we saw Vincent, he was with Rose and Bernard. Where is he now? And where is he in the alternate reality? -April Pedersen, via e-mail
Lindelof confirms the last time we saw this happy island family, they were living peacefully in 1977. But, says Cuse, "All we can say is you'll see Vincent again in the course of the show, and we promise he'll have a happy ending."
In the flash-sideways, Locke's dad, Cooper, is invited to Locke and Helen's wedding. So how did Locke get paralyzed? -Pamela, via e-mail
Cuse and Lindelof love this question and hint that we may be seeing Cooper again as well as learn just how Locke was paralyzed. "It's obviously something different," says Cuse. "Since you don't invite kidney-stealing con men who pushed you out of fourth-story windows to your wedding!"
What's the deal with Walt? I believe he was one of the only nondead characters whose apparition appeared on the island. -Megan W., Lansdowne, Pa.
All Lindelof will say is that Walt is a character who has "special abilities." Whether that apparition was the actual Walt or the Smoke Monster is "to be determined." BTW, Cuse adds that they are conceptualizing a way to reintroduce Walt before the show's end. Yay!
In his alternate reality, Jack has a son named David. But who is the kid's mother? -Trent, via e-mail
Presumably Jack's wife, Sarah-at least that's what actress Julie Bowen expects. "If I'm not the mom, I'll feel betrayed!" says Bowen. "Who the hell was he sleeping with?" We may soon find out for sure since Bowen is headed to Hawaii this month to shoot a special episode of her ABC sitcom, Modern Family. "It has been challenging to get her back in the show because of Modern Family, but it seems extremely nice that she's going to be in Hawaii..." Cuse says cryptically.
I was surprised/shocked Kate's name was crossed out in the cave but then her name popped up on the dial in the lighthouse. What's up with that?- Lyly Ford, France
The real question, says Lindelof, is: "What is the relationship between the lighthouse and the cave? There are several possibilities."
I don't trust MIB, but it does seem like everyone is happier in the alternate reality without the Island. What's up with that? -Denise, via e-mail
Sorry Denise. The cast doesn't seem to share your assumption. For instance, Yunjin Kim says Sun will start off seemingly happy in her alternate world, "but I can't say she ends up being happy."
So will we ever learn why women couldn't carry babies to term on the island? Isn't that the whole reason Juliet was brought over by Dharma in the first place?-Jean B., via e-mail
Lindelof says the show is not going to specifically state why, however, "we feel like we've given you the empirical data so you can figure it out for yourself." Hmm... a little more help please for the clueless? "Clearly Ethan was born on the island in 1977," continues Lindelof. "That's the last baby that we know of who was born on the island. And then something happened between 1977 and when our show takes place in 2004 (when Claire arrived eight months pregnant) where it's been a long time since women have been able to have babies on the island. What might have happened between those two points that could have created fertility issues?"
So why is baby Aaron so special?-Jennifer, via e-mail
"There's a running theme with special children on our show - like Aaron and Walt," notes Yunjin Kim. But more than being concerned if Aaron can "shoot lasers out of his eyes," Cuse says fans should focus on how his existence is effecting characters on the island, specifically Kate, who "stated that her mission was to go back to the island and find Claire and bring her back to the outside world so she could be the mother to her own child."
If Jacob died in the fire, then can we trust the "person" appearing to Hurley? Couldn't it be the Man in Black taking another form? - Jeremy, via e-mail
Nope, says Garcia. "Hurley is the only one who can see Jacob, so I'm pretty confidant that is indeed Jacob," he says. Confirms Cuse, "You can trust that's a reliable representation of Jacob."
Why is the Man in Black now "stuck" in Locke's body as Ilana mentioned? -Rob M., San Diego, Ca.
Per Lindelof, "There are all these rules that govern the way the island works, and one of them is that when Jacob died, whatever form the Monster was in at that time he cannot change anymore."
Is Sayid a dead man walking?-Connor, via e-mail
"No," maintains Naveen Andrews. "He's not dead. For me, he's still the same person, just bereft of a soul."
Who are the other unrecognizable names on Jacob's wheel and in the cave? Names of friends and crew members perhaps?-Holly, via e-mail
Lindelof assures that "a tremendous amount of time and energy went into the name selection on both the (cave) wall and the wheel, and to give shout-outs to pals or crew members would somehow lessen all the time and energy that Jacob has apparently put in to choosing his candidates." So we may or may not learn more about who those other names are.

Scales! It's all about scales!
Now I may have indulged in a few pharmies today but I'm sitting here watching a few of this seasons episodes on dvr and I realize it's all about scales! One side the weight of good one side the weight of evil. The Cave and the Lighthouse. The "flash sidways" is the other side of the scale. The ones who made it off the island and stayed off (Aaron, Walt) are tipping the scale.
Last night was great. richard playing the lost version of bill murray, some more linus story, and the first mention of the island even existing in the sideflashes. pretty cool night
Definitely the first TV show that requires serious homework to follow. You can't just 'watch' each episode and follow the show. Unfortunately, I'm a shitty student that never studied, which is why I barely graduated college with a 2.1 GPA. Hand-in-hand with that, I'm getting a C- in "Lost". I just can't remember shit from earlier seasons. Did Ben kill his father when he was younger? I seem to remember this, but I'm just not sure.

Ben's father was killed (I think by Ben or at least as a result of what Ben did) when Ben allowed the others to take over the Dharma camp. Obviously this didn't happen in the other time as they left the island in the sub as a result of the evacuation.
By the way, in one of the final scenes, the reunion on the beach, everyone was in a circle, but Ben and Richard were outside the circle on opposite sides. I feel like this is significant. Are they both the liason for the Jacob/MIB characters on opposite sides? One is good (Richard) and one is bad (Ben) and that's why they are outside the circle on opposite sides? Just a thought.
I think Ben, having long been duped by MIB, is now in the fold.
We saw a real breakthrough in his character last night.

Last night was the first 'flash sideways' that I truely enjoyed. Ben's storie in the other life directly corrilated to his life on the island. Very Cool.
I'm betting that Jack and either Sawyer or Ben will be the new Jacob/MIB of the island.
I'm pulling for Hurley.

Agreed! Great episode last night. I hope the new Ben is here to stay. We've already seen enough characters basically "sell their soul", so it would be nice to see one truly try to redeem himself. And, the Richard side story was getting me so pumped up for his episode. We've been waiting for that one for a long time.
Next week is a Sawyer story, so it'll be nice to see what the hell he's been up to since we last seen him (has it been 3 episodes now?).
Do you think MIB and Widmore will be on the same side, or will they oppose each other?
If you recall... Ilana and here crew once pulled Miles into a van and tried to stop him from signing on to Widmore's boat. They said they were "the good guys" and made it clear that Widmore was... well, the opposition party.
So if Ilana serves Jacob wouldn't Widmore serve MIB?

Not that I'd wager on anything now.
Widmore has long seemed to be on Widmore's side more than anything else. He may just be chaotic neutral.

The producers have assured us that we will see Vincent again and that his outcome is the only one that they'll promise will be a good one.

I think squirrel baby is a nifty prop that symbolizes nothing more that the high levels of batshit in Claire's diet.

true. and looking at some other stuff, there were also boars on the island as well.
Remember when Ben told Widmore that he "Broke the Rules" after Alex was killed? Was Alex possibly a candidate? That makes sense to me, but if that's the case, why does Ben not seem aware of the candidates now?
Lost makes me :crazy:.

It's really, really hard to tell what it is. The top half of the skull was covered by a piece of cloth, and the lower jaw is missing. Not to mention that many mammals have that same vague/general skull shape. But, the cheekbone area and teeth are wrong for a polar bear, and if it were a boar skull there would be tusks (or at least the cavity where they once were). The premolars/molars look omnivorous, but it's kinda hard to tell without a bigger close up shot.
But as RJ said, Vincent will be back, and the skull's only importance was to show us how crazy Claire is. However, it has been kinda bugging me. :-D
i kinda spaced on the fact the the was an entire working zoo right there as well :oops: the skull is prob just an animal from there
I think you're focusing too much on unimportant minutae when the big picture is looming.
Zoe... She's gonna be important.

Wasn't there a girl named Zoe on the Freighter? I think she walked right off of it in an attempt to kill herself.edit: Nevermind, I did a little research and fund out that the actors name was Zoe, the character was named Regina. My bad.

Man, we've been waiting for what...3 years for this episode?!?
I'm so friggin pumped for tonight!
Two things:
Sneak peeks from tonight (these are officially released so not a spoiler)
Lost - 6.09 - Ab Aeterno - Official Sneak Peek (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN51Tn8xi7I#ws)
Lost - 6.09 - Ab Aeterno - Sneak Peek #2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haK5vvnbWTk#ws)
Also, another interview with a "new girl" from lost...
This time it's Ilana.
It's not too revealing until...
Quote
In comparison to the other characters, where would you rate Ilana on the "mysterious" scale?
If mysterious is a ten, I'd say a ten. We've only gotten little bits here, and they're about what her deal is. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, maybe more like an eight. Being the new character on the show, people know the least about me.
That's true. We don't even know her last name. Does she have one? Is she like Madonna?
I think she's kind of like Madonna. The scene where I took Sayid to the airport and I flashed a badge, my name on it was ... It wasn't even Ilana, it was something else. I think it was Mary or something. But I don't know what that is, it was obviously a made-up name because I don't go by that in the show. But, yeah, no last name. Oh ... That's not true! That's not true! That's so not true, I just remembered ... There is a last name and that comes in one of the other episodes.
Glad you remembered. Now it will be disappointing if it's Smith or Jones.
No, it's not. It's Radzinsky, or something like that.
Really? Did you just make that up?
No, no. I think that's what it was.

this episode melted my face. and we finally know how the statue got broken, that was cool.
Wow.
:insert face melting emoticon here:
I felt like i found out so much stuff (which we obviously found out great stuff), but I think I have even more questions than before!!
Don't read my statement below if you haven't seen it yet!
The cork? What a concept. My first thought was something out of Greek mythology, in the idea that mortals could reach Hades from some point on earth. Is this similar? I don't know of course, but the ideas in my head are crazy. And then to smash the bottle. Is the MIB the devil and if he leaves the island it's bringing all the evils of hell to the earth? So does that make Jacob some kind of gatekeeper for hell?
Also, my wife turns to me at some point and says "what if this whole show is some sort of religious propaganda?" We both laughed.

Great episode. My wife was demanding "50% of all questions to be answered" by last nights episode. I think she got it.
I just woke up from a night of Lost dreams, last nights episode has my head swirling with thousands of strange thoughts.
If Crack could be televised, Lost would be it.

just watched last nights ep.
pretty sweet.
I just started re-watching the episode "Dr. Linus" (the Ben episode) and Ben's speech to his class about Napoleon's exile to the island of Elba, and the loss of his power, even though he was still called 'Emperor', and it seemed very relevant after last night's episode.
Ok re watch analysis. when richardas :wink: gets bought. In case you missed it. He is sold to Captian Magnus Hanso coolness. And something kinda funny, the black rock was actually heading to portsmouth. :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
(http://ncjl.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/the-black-rock-02.jpg)
I guess richard doesn't need his boat slip anymore.
EDIT: just thought it weird that both Dogan and MIB tell people to kill someone before they can utter a word. I have no real point, but maybe someone else does.
Portsmouth would be the ships home port... Portsmouth, England.
Also, I was psyched to hear them drop the name Hanso, again.
Remember Widmore bought a journal at auction of the first mate from Hanso's ship?

I've been watching various episodes , some in pieces, today.
In an episode last season, when young Charles Widmore had Smocke, Juliet and Sawyer at gunpoint back in 1954, Widmore killed his friend before he can tell them where the Others camp was. Then when Widmore ran off into the jungle Sawyer asked Smocke why he didn't shoot him. Smocke answered "Because he's one of my people."
Does this mean that Widmore is working for MIB?

One should not be drinking and trying to unravel the mysteries of Lost.
very cool
I thought about this episode and have a theory that the only real heir for the gatekeeper is Richard. His choice to live forever already gave him the ability to do so and now maybe he can only be killed by the dagger. I don't think he's ever killed anyone? Well except for the doctor accidentally. Maybe everyone else is just a pawn.
I'm ready for next tuesday already.

Yeah, I am curious when he is making his reappearance on the show.
At the end of the other nights episode MIB tells Jacob that he'll be seeing him "sooner than he thinks". I'm re-watching 'The Substitute' right now and MIB/Smocke just told Richard that he'll be seeing him "sooner than he thinks". I'm thinking that there has to be some significance to that line. I just can't figure out what yet.
Quote from: mistercharlie on February 17, 2010, 09:08:21 AM
And could the Kwon that's #42 be Ji Yeon? That would make a nice little twist.
I'm wondering why I've heard no talk of this still. I mean she was conceived on the island. This has eaten at me for a while now.
Since Jacob touched both Sun and Jin at the same time, it seems like he was nominating a combination of the two of them as a candidate.
edit to add: And something tells me Widmoe has her on the sub. When we last saw her she was in the care of Suns parents Mr & Mrs. Paik, who have ties to Widmore.

Pretty good episode. Although I have to admit, I've been getting a little tired of the flash sideways stuff. During the last few flash-sideways stories, I've been finding myself checking my watch and wondering when we're going to get back to the "actual story". Don't get me wrong, I've really enjoyed this season so far, and I trust the creators enough to know that it's going to somehow be relevant. I just hope that it's going to be relevant enough to justify spending half of the show's final season on it.

Everyone is little different in the flash sideways- Jack has a son, Saiyd isn't with Nadia, Locke and his dad have a good relationship, Sawyer is a cop- not conman, Hurley has good luck, Ben is a teacher with a thirst for power but not willing to give up his "daughter" for the job, etc.
I think because the bomb blew up, Jacob never meets those people in their past so their futures are a bit different, although still connected (as we see with all the connections between the characters in the flash sideways).

I'm with you, Dan. The Dr. Linus episode's flash sideways was the only one I've really enjoyed.
I'm re-watching 'Recon' before work today and I noticed that in the flash sideways Miles says that Charlotte works for his dad at the museum. Now we know that in the regular timeline Miles was born on the island in 1977 and that his father, Pierre Chang, sent him and his mother off the Island before the Swan station disaster. So if the nuke went of in this alternate timeline, how did Pierre make it off the island too?
The Nuke and incident don't happen in the Flash sideways.
Whatever made the island sink happened in between the point in time where Ben & his Dad Arrive on the island and when we know the incident to have occurred.
For reasons unknown to us (for now) the Linus' left the island while Dharma (and the island) was intact.
Pierre Chang & Son (and, presumably, Mother) left before the sinking, but probably after the Linus'.
I think it would be unwise to put all of your stock on the incident/h-bomb as being the cause of whatever happened to the island. I expect it to be explained before the Finale comes to a close.
I still think the nuke is in that locked room on the sub.
Quote from: JustJezmund on April 01, 2010, 09:30:29 AM

And by nuke you mean Desmond? I feel like that was implied when they brought him out of the sub. But of course, it's Lost, so it's probably something else...

yea i guess that would make sense, im just really hung up on where this bomb is. I know its menial but it stays there. I did sort of space on the part about desmond being a "surprise" I really gotta stop thinking about this show and let it ride.
The nuke is probably still stored in the catacombs beneath New Otherton.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this (this is Lost after all), but they blew up the nuke. It resulted in them being "bumped" back into the present time from the 70s. In the season premier they woke up in the present time with their ears still ringing. Presumably from the explosion. So, if we assume this is what happened, I can't see how the nuke could still be in existence, because it blew up. At least in the island side of things.
As far as the sideways timeline goes, who knows what happened. I don't think we know enough yet to assume that the bomb is even what sunk the island. As RJ pointed out, there's a few things that don't add up when you assume that the bomb caused the island to sink. So, in the sideways reality, the bomb could still be exactly where it's been since they buried it in the 50s.
couple other, perhaps more trivial questions.
did Michael die in the explosion?
What happened to Walt
What about the fact that women who conceived children on the Island would die?
but didn't the bomb cause the sideways timeline where the plane didn't crash? the bomb's explosion was the point where the timelines diverged, so it would be detonated in both timelines, right?
Pierre Chang and Ben and his dad being of of the island point to the liklihood that whatever caused the island to sink in the side flash timeline happened prior to the "incident".
I'd look for THAT to happen in the finale.
Quote from: slslbs on April 01, 2010, 04:45:13 PM

I think that's one of the questions they've already said won't be answered. I think we're meant to assume that the nuke going off on the island has something to do with it though.
but if the island sank before the incident, how did the incident even happen?
Quote from: westcider on April 01, 2010, 05:54:39 PM

It happened... But then they will (per Faraday's theory that the people are the variables and can change the timeline) somehow alter things from an earlier pont in time... Which will cause it to not happen.
How this works is easily tidied up with the caveat that time has a way of self-correcting.
What's up with everyone in the flash sideways looking at themselves so strangely in mirrors?

I agree. The last 5 min were really awesome, but everything else was a little disappointing.
After knowing him first as Caleb Nichol, watching Widmore being nice to Desmond in the flash sideways had me rolling on the floor laughing!

Indeed.
They began to unfold the flash-sideways!
I woke up this morning thinking that the last time Desmond 'flashed' was back when the Swan station blew up. He was hit with an electro-magnetic burst then also, and woke up in a different 'time' where he met Eloise and she told him he had a destiny to fulfill. I think that was back in season 2.
Do you guys think like I, that that was the first Flash Sideways?

We learned that Faraday was Widmore's son last year when Widmore confronted Eloise at the hospital after Desmond was shot. Although some of us suspected it earlier.
Were they always married? No. In the original timeline they were pretty clearly not married...

We've known that Faraday was Widmore's son, And Eloise is his mother. However in the Original Timeline, Widmore and Eloise aren't married. At least not that we know of.

Penny did find Desmond at the Stadium before. I think it might have been right after Desmond met Jack. I remember they had a talk right where the Limo was parked in the other night's episode. Penny said something about having all the resourses in the world and always beeing able to find him.
edit to add: After a quick check of Lostpedia. It took place in the episode "Live Together, Die Alone part 1"

An interesting interview I came across with Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond). He gives some insight to this most recent episode.

Also, the 'Next Time on Lost' was great! Good ol' Gene Wilder!
Good episode. I can't wait to watch it again.
I also loved the Willy Wonka boat song during the previews. :-D
wow some of the coolest stuff tonight :crazy:
A couple of things...
- 1. What was in that bag Hugo found? was that Jacob's ashes or Nikki and Paolo's diamonds?
- 2. Is Michael really trying to help them? I think he may be tricking Hugo.
- 3. The last episode will air on Sunday May 23rd! http://www.tvovermind.com/lost/lost-will-go-on-one-week-hiatus/21287 (http://www.tvovermind.com/lost/lost-will-go-on-one-week-hiatus/21287)

1.pretty sure its the ashes. i think miles took the diamonds when he mentioned them to ben.
2.no hes dead i dont see any point in him trying to trick him. michael was never really a bad dooder. I would also like to point out i really love the answer they gave us about the whispers.( :crazy: )
3.i think ending on sunday is the tits cause i like drinking a little heavier before a monday than a wed.
4.rewatching right now. :wink:
also for the finale if you lived around here (pa) my fav radio show puts a guest list together and does the premier and now the real finale in the adventure aquarium in NJ. but really they show it in this room
(http://www.facilitiesonline.com/editorschoiceimg/adventure_acquarium_EC.jpg)
how cool is that.
I'm pretty sure that was Jacob's ashes too, because wasn't that Ilana's stuff that he found it in? If so that would make sense.

Michael say's he and others are 'stuck' on the island, just like MIB. What if MIB can communicate with the dead also and has gotten Michael on his side by telling him that he can get him off of the island.
Thought of something else last night...
FST Desmond says that his son's name is Charlie without hesitation, although in the FST Desmond and Penny hadn't had Charlie so Desmond has a very good knowledge of both timelines.
I think you are over estimating...
Charlie was probably the first name that came to mind.

Looks like a few people get to know how it ends before the rest of us, and I don't like that. Spoilers will be running rampant in that last week.
penultimate means the one before the end...
Yep. Just avoid any LOST sites a few hrs before the 2nd to last episode.

I read the first page and it looks interesting. I'll have to read more when I get home from work.
In a related note, I was watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory last night before bed and came up with a strange thought. Willy Wonka sent out 'Golden Tickets' to get people into his Chocolate Factory. Then once inside he tests them all to look for a single unselfish good deed. And when Charlie proves he is capable of doing said deed he is given the factory. There were even all sorts of strange rules you had to follow.
Jacob = Willy Wonka
The Island = The Chocolate Factory
Candidates = Golden Ticket holders
The only part that doesn't really fit is...
MIB = Slugworth
unless MIB really is secretly working for Jacob, but I highly doubt that.
But then again maybe I had just a bit too much :smoke:

I know, I know. :roll:
But this close to the end, my brain is just racing to form as many crackpot theories about the Island as it can before it's all explained to us in the end.
I will allow that there are parallels to be found in many sources.
interesting stuff row. im sure ill find stuff to nitpick and confuse myself more in the days to come. esp since we have no lost tomorrow. :frustrated:
i enjoy this episode.

As do I.
Plus, the pop-ups at the bottom are giving us some new information, useless information, but new information none the less. Like Richard worked in sugar cane fields in the Canary Islands. :roll:
so we found out that isabell was the smoke monster when she came to richard when he was still chained up.
but how was the smoke also above he ship when they were talking?
im thinking the monster can be in more than one (person) place at the same time.
Remember in season 5 while the Losties where time jumping? They landed in what was presumably 2007 (there was an Ajira water bottle in a canoe) and while in said canoe another canoe started shooting at them, Juliet even shot one of the other people shooting. Who the hell was in the other canoe?
we will finally be back on track on tues. :clap:

I just re-watched last nights episode and it make me cry like a little girl again. I'm really going to miss these characters after they're gone!
All I can say is Hurley better not die!!!! He's the most lovable character on the Island and I'd hate to see him go.

Im about to rewatch it also after dinner. Hoping to have drier eyes than I did last night but who knows...watching it with the fiancee tonight and she is a HUGE Sun and Jin fan.
Was definitely sad. The fact that they used the same score as they did when Charlie drowned made it even more sad. They've used that same piece a few times, but it always makes me think of Charlie's last scene.
just got to watch the last episode...
talk about pissing in someone's cheerios. :|

Yeah, but tomorrow night's episode is gonna be :wtu:
People have to die or the show holds no threat of jeopardy for the characters.
I had a strange dream last night. I ran into Hurley at Walmart while we were both shopping for Lost DVD sets. He bought a copy of Season 1, I was buying Season 6. It cost $286. I was handing the lady my credit card when I suddenly thought "this season isn't even over yet, I should wait for the final version" and took my card back. Hurley said "Dude, I was gonna laugh my ass off if you bought that!"
The dream got stranger after that, and Hurley wasn't in it. Although that may have been Shannon, I didn't get a good look at her face.
Today's LOST anticipation is the most intense I've felt yet!! I'm betting faces will be melted by what we learn tonight!!!

this episode was cool
yeah, but how the hell have they still not given him a name?
I thought it was a good episode. Not great, but good. They finally answered most of the important questions (in regards to the history/mythology), so that was definitely awesome. But overall, I was a bit underwhelmed with the story behind those answers.

Agreed. I've been waiting too long for all of these questions to be answered. I'm planning on being disappointed by the finale. But I'm a "glass is half empty" kind of guy.
Did Jacob already replace himself with Richard? The Crazy lady made Jacob drink from that strange wine bottle and then told him that they were the same, making him protector of the Island. In Ab Aeterno Jacob had Richard drink from the same bottle of wine and then Richard can live forever.
Just a thought I cme up with while laying in bed last night, it's not fully formed in my head yet.

Jacob and Man in Black: LOST Game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuJoc4SOIV0&feature=channel#ws)
:hereitisyousentimentalbastard
That was great!
LOL.
I've read several non-spoiler reviews of next week's episode from people who were at the "Lost Live at UCLA" thing, and they've all had nothing but excellent things to say about it. Most said that it was easily the best episode of season 6. And one reviewer even said that it's tied with "The Constant" as their favorite episode, which really got me excited, because that's definitely my favorite non-finale episode, too.
Tuesday can't come fast enough!

I guess if I was watching it for the first time and it was all available my 'what's gonna happen next' addiction would cause me to watch entire seasons in a single sitting. I kind prefer the way we've watched it for 6 years with plenty of time off to formulate all kinds of crazy ass theories!!

Seriously.
I read the first page and it looks interesting. I'll have to read more when I get home from work.
In a related note, I was watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory last night before bed and came up with a strange thought. Willy Wonka sent out 'Golden Tickets' to get people into his Chocolate Factory. Then once inside he tests them all to look for a single unselfish good deed. And when Charlie proves he is capable of doing said deed he is given the factory. There were even all sorts of strange rules you had to follow.
Jacob = Willy Wonka
The Island = The Chocolate Factory
Candidates = Golden Ticket holders
The only part that doesn't really fit is...
MIB = Slugworth
unless MIB really is secretly working for Jacob, but I highly doubt that.
But then again maybe I had just a bit too much :smoke:
Maybe Widmore is Slugworth.
And yes I'm High and watching Willy Wonka again while waiting for The Big Bang Theory to start.

That was one of my top ten episodes.
I don't know what I'm going to do when this is over.
Remember how I said that Hurley was going to be Jacob's replacement? I think we may have seen some foreshadowing of that possibility.
Desmond is bad-fucking-ass, isn't he?
So glad Miles is still alive. I'm not looking forward to him (or anyone else) dying.

Remember in season 5 while the Losties where time jumping? They landed in what was presumably 2007 (there was an Ajira water bottle in a canoe) and while in said canoe another canoe started shooting at them, Juliet even shot one of the other people shooting. Who the hell was in the other canoe?
I'm betting that we're about to see the answer.

and we have no patio yet and it's 80 degrees here... needless to say there are other things i'd rather be doing :)
I'd quit.
I still don't understand this show.
Is the island a metaphor, or like... an avatar for what happens in the people's real lives? LIke, everything that happened to them happens to them on the island?
no need to quit.... 4 week vacation starts tomorrow :)

I'm gonna miss this show.

I read somewhere that the writers admired the Sopranos ending, promised not fade to black but also not to make it too tidy.
I thought it was very cool
still thinking about it - don't want to get too analytical about it yet. that will come.
I liked it a lot. not sure how i feel about the last half hour, or sure what even happened the last half hour, but I dug it.
my friend Tennessee started watching the show last week, watched the entire series in about nine days. he was on episode 613 when I talked to him earlier today. I have a feeling he is going to absolutely HATE the ending. it will be very interesting to talk to him tomorrow.
I keep thinking about it and I loved it!!!
Hurley's line to Ben about being a good number 2 really strikes me as touching, while thinking back tonight.
I have to admit the Sawyer/Juliette reunion is the one that got to me.
I always thought it would be Hugo, glad it was. I also like that Ben turned out to be a good guy, there was always that hint of that being the case and I thought it was nice to see it happen.
Wrapped things up enough, bu still left something to interpretation, loved it.
Of course it was 2.5 hours, there as a commercial every 2 minutes.
Just read that when the season is released on DVD--Blu-Ray that there will be an extra 20min. added to the episode.
The episode itself was friggin' amazing! All of the "realizations" were highly emotional and gave me hardcore chills, and everything that happened on The Island was EPIC!
As far as the ending, it was either brilliant or terrible, I'm just not sure yet. However, that's the same way I felt about The Sopranos ending (which I now love), so I think I just need some time to figure it all out. I just hope that the entire show wasn't just some religious purgatory bullshit (that they claimed it wasn't from the beginning).
I don't think that it was the whole show that was the religious/purgatory, but just for this past season and only for the flash sideways plots.

Correct.
the more I thought about it last night and this AM, the cooler it became.
RE-Purgatory
My wife called me when I was on my to work this AM.
One of the writers was on GMA and gave his whole take on the meaning and the purgatory thing.
obviously, we can all interpret it however we want.
I thought about the ending all night, even in my dreams. And I love it even more this morning.
Kates line to Jack "I've missed you" when she sees at the concert really gives me chills. It implies that after leaving the island Kate led a long life and she has been missing Jack all those years. It was along the same lines as the exchange between Hugo and Ben about being a good #1 .
THANK YOU LOST!!!

In my mind that was the wreckage of 815 and we we're just shown it as a sentimental reminder of how it all started. I like to think that Kate, Clair Miles and Sawyer got to live full lives just like Ben, Hugo, Rose and Bernard.

OK - so if they passengers in the flight survived, how do you reconcile the flash sideways. Was the whole flash sideways purgatory?
then - what was the meaning of the Island itself?

The Flash sideways was akin to purgatory; more like the fifth bardo of Tibetan buddhism.
As for the meaning of the island... There was no great meaning. It's a place of special power that these people were brought to for its on purposes. They lived a portion of their lives there, some never left. But what it meant?
What, in this life, really has meaning outside of our human relationships?

Kates line to Jack "I've missed you" when she sees at the concert really gives me chills. It implies that after leaving the island Kate led a long life and she has been missing Jack all those years. It was along the same lines as the exchange between Hugo and Ben about being a good #1 .
THANK YOU LOST!!!
yes but - remember Widmore put C4 on the plane
and, during the credits, the last thing we saw was wreckage
was that the original wreckage, or did the plane blow up and they never made it back?
In my mind that was the wreckage of 815 and we we're just shown it as a sentimental reminder of how it all started. I like to think that Kate, Clair Miles and Sawyer got to live full lives just like Ben, Hugo, Rose and Bernard.
OK - so if they passengers in the flight survived, how do you reconcile the flash sideways. Was the whole flash sideways purgatory?
then - what was the meaning of the Island itself?
(not saying you're wrong, just discussing possibilities)
The Flash sideways was akin to purgatory; more like the fifth bardo of Tibetan buddhism.
As for the meaning of the island... There was no great meaning. It's a place of special power that these people were brought to for its on purposes. They lived a portion of their lives there, some never left. But what it meant?
What, in this life, really has meaning outside of our human relationships?
I thought the meaning of the island was that it was a place they all created to be together.. or was that the church at the very end?
That was just the flash-sideways.
Ben saying "there's still some thing's I need to work on" certainly supports a middle ground.
btw, was Penny in the church? A few weeks ago Faraday's mom told Desmond that Penny wasn't ready yet, or something like that.
These are my thoughts, this is pretty much the same thing that I put up for my fb status for the few of you who have seen it, with some minor editing.
QuoteHere's the deal Lost fans, everything that happened to the Losties really happened to them, they did crash on the island and all of the events that they experienced while on it also really happened. They only time that any of them were dead was in the flash-sideways. Was it heaven, hell or other I don't know, but what Christian said was that it was a place that they had all collectively created so that when they were ready and "awakened" they could all get back together again (but he might have been referring to just the Church, that may be one the ambiguous things about the episode). Also, as Christian told to Jack, that their time on the island was the most important time of their lives so that whenever it was that they did die, and he did say that they were all dead there, but again that they had all died at different times. Maybe Hugo and Ben lived for hundreds or thousands of years together on the island and Kate and Sawyer lived to be into their 90's back in the regular world and Shannon and Boone were there even though they both died prior to the events of tonight's show, but they were there regardless of when they died or how old they were when it happened because that time was the most important time of their lives, and not just for them but for the rest of Losties, that's why when they were there in the church they looked like they did during that time in their lives, the age they were when they were all together.

Yes. Penny was in Desmond's arms when Jack walked into the sanctuary.
I knew I shouldn't have watched the finale drunk. :hereitisyousentimentalbastard I totally did not get it last night. I seemed to have missed all the important points of Christian and Jack's conversation.
I re-watched with a more "clear mind", and that was all sorts of WIN and BEAUTY wrapped all together. :clap:
Some shots from the pre-show party I went to last night:

That is a perfect summation.
All day today I just kept thinking in my head "Whatever Happened, Happened". a perfect line for the show.

My vote is for Hurley.
honestly this post was what i thought of when jack gave it over.
Should I be flattered or creeped out that you're thinking of my post?
both. :evil:
i just remember seeing that post and scoffing at it. Only because i thought it a bit obvious, with all the visions and the hurley bird and the numbers themselves effecting his life the most. then list of clues goes on and on. but i should know by now that row knows. good call
Should I be flattered or creeped out that you're thinking of my post?
Personally, I agree that the Island was "real life" and the flash sideways was the afterlife. I just wasn't sure that the plane made it back because of the C4.
fwiw, my wife was watching GMA this AM and one of the writers was on and said that they all died in the crash and the Island was purgatory / the test.
there's something to be said for either opinion, there are questions raised by either.
that's one of the things that makes the show great

What's the deal with Walt? I believe he was one of the only nondead characters whose apparition appeared on the island. -Megan W., Lansdowne, Pa.
All Lindelof will say is that Walt is a character who has "special abilities." Whether that apparition was the actual Walt or the Smoke Monster is "to be determined." BTW, Cuse adds that they are conceptualizing a way to reintroduce Walt before the show's end. Yay!
So, what happened to this?
other things I was curious about
how come a child conceived on the island couldn't be born - what is the purpose of the island "wanting that"
How did Faraday's mother become the "high priestess" of time travel.
they wrapped up the ending very well. thankfully, there will be no spinoffs, sequels, or movies. there were just some things I was curious about that I thought they might go into.
all in all, a great show.

That only happened after the Nuke went off on the Island in 1977.

How did Faraday's mother become the "high priestess" of time travel.
The best I can tell is that she learned it over time by knowing that her son would go back in time and be killed by her. (Also, I just remembered Faradays journal. If Eloise had that she could know everything that Faraday knows)
The whole Eloise thing is the one aspect that I really wish they would've given us more info about. :|

He was on set and filming for the finale. With the editing for time, they couldn't squeeze it in. It will be part of the additional 20+ min added back in for the DVD release.
saw this on another site - supposedly an email from a writer who worked on the show. take it or leave it, pretty interesting, though

I can finally throw in my two cents! I've had to bite my tongue for far too long. Also, hopefully I can answer some of John's questions about Dharma and the "pointless breadcrumbs" that really, weren't so pointless ...
First ...
The Island:
It was real. Everything that happened on the island that we saw throughout the 6 seasons was real. Forget the final image of the plane crash, it was put in purposely to f*&k with people's heads and show how far the show had come. They really crashed. They really survived. They really discovered Dharma and the Others. The Island keeps the balance of good and evil in the world. It always has and always will perform that role. And the Island will always need a "Protector". Jacob wasn't the first, Hurley won't be the last. However, Jacob had to deal with a malevolent force (MIB) that his mother, nor Hurley had to deal with. He created the devil and had to find a way to kill him -- even though the rules prevented him from actually doing so.
Thus began Jacob's plan to bring candidates to the Island to do the one thing he couldn't do. Kill the MIB. He had a huge list of candidates that spanned generations. Yet every time he brought people there, the MIB corrupted them and caused them to kill one another. That was until Richard came along and helped Jacob understand that if he didn't take a more active role, then his plan would never work.
Enter Dharma -- which I'm not sure why John is having such a hard time grasping. Dharma, like the countless scores of people that were brought to the island before, were brought there by Jacob as part of his plan to kill the MIB. However, the MIB was aware of this plan and interfered by "corrupting" Ben. Making Ben believe he was doing the work of Jacob when in reality he was doing the work of the MIB. This carried over into all of Ben's "off-island" activities. He was the leader. He spoke for Jacob as far as they were concerned. So the "Others" killed Dharma and later were actively trying to kill Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley and all the candidates because that's what the MIB wanted. And what he couldn't do for himself.
Dharma was originally brought in to be good. But was turned bad by MIB's corruption and eventually destroyed by his pawn Ben. Now, was Dharma only brought there to help Jack and the other Candidates on their overall quest to kill Smokey? Or did Jacob have another list of Canidates from the Dharma group that we were never aware of? That's a question that is purposely not answered because whatever answer the writers came up with would be worse than the one you come up with for yourself. Still ... Dharma's purpose is not "pointless" or even vague. Hell, it's pretty blatant.
Still, despite his grand plan, Jacob wanted to give his "candidates" (our Lostaways) the one thing he, nor his brother, were ever afforded: free will. Hence him bringing a host of "candidates" through the decades and letting them "choose" which one would actually do the job in the end. Maybe he knew Jack would be the one to kill Flocke and that Hurley would be the protector in the end. Maybe he didn't. But that was always the key question of the show: Fate vs. Free-will. Science vs. Faith. Personally I think Jacob knew from the beginning what was going to happen and that everyone played a part over 6 seasons in helping Jack get to the point where he needed to be to kill Smokey and make Hurley the protector -- I know that's how a lot of the writers viewed it. But again, they won't answer that (nor should they) because that ruins the fun.
In the end, Jack got to do what he always wanted to do from the very first episode of the show: Save his fellow Lostaways. He got Kate and Sawyer off the island and he gave Hurley the purpose in life he'd always been missing. And, in Sideways world (which we'll get to next) he in fact saved everyone by helping them all move on ...
Now...
Sideways World:
Sideways world is where it gets really cool in terms of theology and metaphysical discussion (for me at least -- because I love history/religion theories and loved all the talks in the writer's room about it). Basically what the show is proposing is that we're all linked to certain people during our lives. Call them soul mates (though it's not exactly the best word). But these people we're linked to are with us duing "the most important moments of our lives" as Christian said. These are the people we move through the universe with from lifetime to lifetime. It's loosely based in Hinduism with large doses of western religion thrown into the mix.
The conceit that the writers created, basing it off these religious philosophies, was that as a group, the Lostaways subconsciously created this "sideways" world where they exist in purgatory until they are "awakened" and find one another. Once they all find one another, they can then move on and move forward. In essence, this is the show's concept of the afterlife. According to the show, everyone creates their own "Sideways" purgatory with their "soul mates" throughout their lives and exist there until they all move on together. That's a beautiful notion. Even if you aren't religious or even spiritual, the idea that we live AND die together is deeply profound and moving.
It's a really cool and spiritual concept that fits the whole tone and subtext the show has had from the beginning. These people were SUPPOSED to be together on that plane. They were supposed to live through these events -- not JUST because of Jacob. But because that's what the universe or God (depending on how religious you wish to get) wanted to happen. The show was always about science vs faith -- and it ultimately came down on the side of faith. It answered THE core question of the series. The one question that has been at the root of every island mystery, every character back-story, every plot twist. That, by itself, is quite an accomplishment.
How much you want to extrapolate from that is up to you as the viewer. Think about season 1 when we first found the Hatch. Everyone thought that's THE answer! Whatever is down there is the answer! Then, as we discovered it was just one station of many. One link in a very long chain that kept revealing more, and more of a larger mosiac.
But the writer's took it even further this season by contrasting this Sideways "purgatory" with the Island itself. Remember when Michael appeared to Hurley, he said he was not allowed to leave the Island. Just like the MIB. He wasn't allowed into this sideways world and thus, was not afforded the opportunity to move on. Why? Because he had proven himself to be unworthy with his actions on the Island. He failed the test. The others, passed. They made it into Sideways world when they died -- some before Jack, some years later. In Hurley's case, maybe centuries later. They exist in this sideways world until they are "awakened" and they can only move on TOGETHER because they are linked. They are destined to be together for eternity. That was their destiny.
They were NOT linked to Anna Lucia, Daniel, Roussou, Alex, Miles, Lupidis, (and all the rest who weren't in the chuch -- basically everyone who wasn't in season 1). Yet those people exist in Sideways world. Why? Well again, here's where they leave it up to you to decide. The way I like to think about it, is that those people who were left behind in Sideways world have to find their own soulmates before they can wake up. It's possible that those links aren't people from the island but from their other life (Anna's parnter, the guy she shot --- Roussou's husband, etc etc).
A lot of people have been talking about Ben and why he didn't go into the Church. And if you think of Sideways world in this way, then it gives you the answer to that very question. Ben can't move on yet because he hasn't connected with the people he needs to. It's going to be his job to awaken Roussou, Alex, Anna Lucia (maybe), Ethan, Goodspeed, his father and the rest. He has to attone for his sins more than he did by being Hurley's number two. He has to do what Hurley and Desmond did for our Lostaways with his own people. He has to help them connect. And he can only move on when all the links in his chain are ready to. Same can be said for Faraday, Charlotte, Whidmore, Hawkins etc. It's really a neat, and cool concept. At least to me.
But, from a more "behind the scenes" note: the reason Ben's not in the church, and the reason no one is in the church but for Season 1 people is because they wrote the ending to the show after writing the pilot. And never changed it. The writers always said (and many didn't believe them) that they knew their ending from the very first episode. I applaud them for that. It's pretty fantastic. Originally Ben was supposed to have a 3 episode arc and be done. But he became a big part of the show. They could have easily changed their ending and put him in the church -- but instead they problem solved it. Gave him a BRILLIANT moment with Locke outside the church ... and then that was it. I loved that. 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.
For me the ending of this show means a lot. Not only because I worked on it, but because as a writer it inspired me in a way the medium had never done before. I've been inspired to write by great films. Maybe too many to count. And there have been amazing TV shows that I've loved (X-Files, 24, Sopranos, countless 1/2 hour shows). But none did what LOST did for me. None showed me that you could take huge risks (writing a show about faith for network TV) and stick to your creative guns and STILL please the audience. I learned a lot from the show as a writer. I learned even more from being around the incredible writers, producers, PAs, interns and everyone else who slaved on the show for 6 years.
In the end, for me, LOST was a touchstone show that dealt with faith, the afterlife, and all these big, spiritual questions that most shows don't touch. And to me, they never once waivered from their core story -- even with all the sci-fi elements they mixed in. To walk that long and daunting of a creative tightrope and survive is simply astounding.

That matches up nicely with my impressions.
Thanks!
yeah, it reminds me of Vonnegut's karass, except extended into the afterlife
the Tailies would be a gran faloon, I suppose
So I've seen that in the scripts MIB had a name and they just chose to never tell it to us, to keep the mystery alive. His name was apparently Samuel.
The same place also confirmed what Dan said about Walt being in the extra 20 minutes that'll be on the dvd.

An 'enhanced' version of The End just started, it has the info popping up at the bottom, but it's only scheduled to be on for 125 minutes instead of the 150 that it took up when it originally aired. I hope that just means less commercials.
Even though it's gone I still find myself pondering it's mysteries in my head.

Ha. That might be the funniest/saddest LOST fan comment I've ever heard. :wink:
At this rate you might as well wait until the DVD release. That way you can watch it with the 20+ minutes of scenes that they cut for time. Also, if you've managed to go this long without being spoiled on how it ends, then I tip my hat to you, sir.
It was spoiled, but only conceptually.

On the link above you can download the auction catalogs. They grouped all the items by the season that it appeared in, so you'll have to download six different catalogs. You can bid on everything from Dharma beer cans and Locke's knives, to Hurley's Camaro and the four-toed statue!
Reminds me of hearing about the Arrested Development auction right before it happened. Fox ditched all the props and set dressing stuff right after the series ended. No online presence, minimal fanfare - just an auction at a warehouse. Apparently, a lot of the people there thought it was an estate sale. And a lot of the stuff was up on ebay right away. The Aztec Tomb illusion sold for around $400 at the auction - went for $1700 on ebay a week or so later.

I came close to getting the "You're killing me, Buster" banner for about $60 from the same guy on ebay. Would have been more than worth it. Damn it.
Also, I watched the Season 4 season finale tonight. Yes, this is my first time through the show.

Maggie and I just happened to finish the series the night the dvd's came out. Watched "The New Man In Charge" on Wednesday.
Nice timing for us, and watching the seasons in quick succession was great (so addictive. I was resistant for years but I think I watched the first six or seven eps in one day) but I'm sure having to wait years for it to play out made for a somewhat different experience. Now must see bonus stuff, deleted scenes & easter eggs.

Yes there is a disc hidden in the box. Seriously. No Joke. I have no Idea what's on it, I only know of it's existence.
I just found it! Under the lid there's a map of the island. The map comes off, and underneath it, there's a disc with the donkey wheel, an ankh and hieroglyphics on it. Thanks for mentioning that. I would have never thought to try and pull that section out.

And also, has there been any word about a new series? I watched the 'extra episode' (for lack of a better term) with Hugo and Ben and it gave hope to another series.... Just curious. :?
The word is, no new series.
What you called an "extra episode" was really just outtakes from the Finale.

Wow, mind seriously blown.
My then not-GF and I started Lost three years ago, and we just finished it a couple weeks back. Felt pretty epic to finally wrap it up. I've regularly avoided all Lost-themed threads on the internet to avoid spoilers, so I have no idea how the Lost fanbase at large perceived the series finale. Personally I thought it was great, but then again I loved the series finale of Battlestar Galactica as well, which was generally panned. I like that they answered a lot of questions, but left enough of the unanswerable-type questions unanswered. Had they answered every single question, there is no way it would have been wholly satisfying. Some mystery needed to be maintained, IMO. Instead they chose to focus on the relationships, which I thought was a smart move. In the end, its our relationships to those we love that matters anyway.
/cheese, i know. but sometimes what's cheesy is what's true.

He also plays two different characters in the X-Files.
Terry O'Quinn for the win.
I have started to rewatch the series, and am in the middle of season three.
There are a ton of awesome moments that reveal a lot about the characters... before you knew exactly.

Pretty much sums up why I never watched this show.
The show ended two years ago tomorrow.
Damon is still answering for the ending (awesome interview alert!!!)
http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/21/3030913/damon-lindelof-on-lost-on-the-verge
It feels like it's been longer than two years. I miss this addiction.
Props to the interviewer for telling him straight up the ending sucked.
I have such a bittersweet memory of the show. I was obsessed with it and I really wanted to love the last season. I even defended the last couple of episodes where it started to set in "Oh shit, they're not going to tell us anything." But that last episode was just such a kick in the balls it kinda tainted the whole thing to me. And it wasn't the ambiguity of it (I fucking loved The Sopranos ending, for example), it was that it just felt like such a cop out.
Of all the unanswered questions I have, the biggest one is "who did Juliette shoot in that other canoe?"

It wasn't even about unanswered questions to me, but that was a good one. I've also always wondered why the lady who was with Mikhail at the one station told him to shoot her.

Well I haven't thought about that for yrs, until now. Thanks for that. :-P
I liked the ending.
there were soooooo many unanswered questions, they would have had to right a book to get them all.
maybe that's the plan for future income.
So I decided to start rewatching yesterday. I got through the Pilot before my wife came home, today Tabula Rosa.
I'm half tempted to keep a little notebook next to me to write down all the little things I notice going through it again, but then I think that someone has already done that and I should just sit back and enjoy it.
ya know out of all the 'unanswered questions' that are there at the end, the one thing that i think bothers me the most is the whole other half of the survivors that end up 1st with the dharma people on the other island. we first see them when sawyer and kate get locked up in the cages and i cant remember what the whole dialogue is, but it never made any sense... and then i think some of them or maybe all of them end up later at the Temple as jacob followers or whatever... none of that ever made any sense to me.
So my wife has never seen the show so I feel it's a perfect time to start a re-watch. My wife also stated after we just finished ep. 7 of the first season, "I'm interested to see how they could possibly make this show last so many seasons." I just started laughing.
After my complete Seinfeld rewatch...
LOST
My re-watch a few months ago was awesome. It's weird but I kinda miss having to wait between episodes/seasons and letting all the mysteries and ideas ferment.

Ten things you didn't know about lost. Number 10 is actually a big conspiracy breaker.
QuoteIt's been ten years since we first met the castaways of Oceanic Flight 815. To celebrate the anniversary of the show's premiere, some of our favorite characters, including Sawyer, Hurley, Sun, and Desmond, joined co-creators Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse at this year's PaleyFest in Los Angeles. In between speculation about the smoke monster and stories about living in Hawaii, the cast and crew let us in on a few secrets from the six seasons of the ABC hit show.
Here are a few of our favorites:
1. Despite being the first actor cast, Ian Somerhalder was the very first series regular to die on the show. Ian didn't find out his fatal destiny until weeks before the scene was shot.
2. He was given a male character name on the show, but Vincent the dog is actually female.
3. Jack Shephard, played by Matthew Fox, was originally supposed to die at the end of the pilot episode. The creative team later changed their mind and made Jack the central character of the entire series.
4. During the casting process, Jorge Garcia came in and read for the role of Sawyer. He went on to star as Hugo 'Hurley' Reyes. Yunjin Kim auditioned for the role of Kate Austen. She eventually landed the role of Sun Kwon, a character producers developed specifically for Yunjin.
5. When the final episode wrapped production, Executive Producer Damon Lindelof ended up taking home the door of the hatch as a memento. He turned it into a coffee table. One of the other Executive Producers, Carlton Cuse, walked away with the countdown clock prop from inside the hatch.
6. Josh Holloway, the actor who portrayed Sawyer, actually wore his own boots for the entire series. He had them for years before production ever started.
7. Nikki and Paulo, characters introduced in Season 3, were immediately rejected by fans of the show. The creators quickly realized that while the actors were outstanding, the characters needed to be written out of the show. Their multi-season storyline was condensed to just six episodes.
8. The actor who played John Locke, Terry O'Quinn, lived close enough to the set that he would walk to work on many days of the production.
9. The idea for a group of people already living on the island was developed early on in the series. Writers didn't formulate the name a logo for Dharma Initiative until the break between season one and two.
10. Finally, despite many conspiracy rumors, the co-creators promise the castaways weren't dead for the entire duration of the series.

I had not heard of this, and I've been thinking about re-watching the series. This will be a great way to re-experience the show. Thanks!
