Dang! This thread exploded... Interesting to see everyone debating it still. For me, it's like BSG: not even that crappy ending can take away from the excellence of Season 1. Or even of 2 and 3. I still have BSG 1-3 on Blu as well as Lost, and I'm sure I'll keep them and watch them...
That's putting it lightly. I'd put it another way: Bleeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggghhhhhhhh! It was clear to me that Lindelof/Cuse had no idea what to do or where to go so they came up with a cute way to get a happy ending cast reunion for your final shot. Does it tug the...
Yeah. Up in the air or not...don't count on getting any more clarification on what the island is. BTW...I had always assumed 'the game' was something set in motion by powers above Jacob and his brother and they followed the rules in order to find a replacement for Jacob. But, it has now...
Good point, Travis. I'd like to know what Eloise Hawking's story is. I'm not sure we'll ever find out. But, she was/is a weird piece of the overall puzzle.
I'm with you, Josh. I was satisfied with the answers we got. Now, I'm just waiting to see how our characters end up and what the alternate universe is all about.
Great pontification, Matt and Josh. My feeling is that the island is, in as literal a way as possible, Eden. The light, or 'the source' as CJ Guardian put it is our apple. Humans are a naturally curious bunch, aren't we? But, when Eve chose to eat the apple (how was she tricked? by...
I think 'magic of the island' is your best bet. But, I would put forth that they had just begun diving and it wasn't like they were going to 100 feet. I don't think they were too deep.
A key of dramatic writing is setup and payoff. While I am as curious as anyone to see what went down between Des and Sayid (and we may or may not see it), and while I would agree that Des is responsible for helping Sayid overcome his 'infection', the fact is that his sudden sacrifice for good...
One thing is for certain: UnLocke was not lying about Jack seeing him as Christian when he came to the island. UnLocke said, "For one thing, you needed water." Which means he knows that he led him to the cave with the spring. No way he knows that if he's lying.
Hmmmm...
I don't know what to say about that episode.
"Now you're with me?" Really, Smokey? You do realize he ran from you, right?
I think Widmore is gonna be pissed when he finds out Jack is not among the 'candidates'. His girl blew it...or he did. Either way, I don't think he would have...
Furthermore, in Ab Aeterno the MiB has a discussion with Jacob that pretty much confirms that the test never ends. I don't have the script here, but it goes something like this:
MiB: What if I kill you?
Jacob: Someone will take my place.
MiB: Then, I'll kill them too.
Jacob: ::smile::
In...
LOL! I was gonna say the same thing :D The fact is, Sawyer doesn't give a hoot that they know, etc. Because HE knows they are gonna get it on and when they do he is going to do what he does best - look out for Sawyer.
Of course, his noble soul will interfere and he'll be forced to help...
He did. And, frankly, it was long overdue. His scores for The Incredibles and Ratatouille were both worthy. And, his score last year for Star Trek was great!
Kate is ALWAYS along for the ride. She does what she needs to do to tread water and stay alive.
Tonight may have been my favorite episode of the series. Certainly top 5. Emerson was brilliant. And, since Ben is my favorite character it was great to see his arc come full circle both in the...
I'm surprised no one here, on Lostpedia, or anywhere I can find has asked about Smoky's apparent disdain/blow off of Kate! He looks right at her and pretty much turns his back on her. Is this related to the fact she is not on his wall? But, she IS on Jacob's dial in the lighthouse.
As the...
I'm assuming Jack's son's (David?) mother is Julie Bowen. Not that I think it's important.
A lot of names on that wheel if you can pause it...Linus, Rousseau, Faraday, Dawson, Burke, Littleton... I wonder what/why/when they are crossed out? Only my wife would notice this...but, Jack in the...
Yeah. I think the 'branching' definitely happens at that point in 1977. And guess how old Jack would have been in 1977? Around the same age his mom said he had to go get his appendix out. Very weird how the realities cross over at that point in time.
I also saw Kate on the lighthouse wheel...
Life/death? Dark/light? Satan/God? I"m still wondering what Jacob/MiB are and how the island plays into it. What about Destiny/Free Will? I know MiB and Jacob are always saying 'you have a choice'. Maybe the island represents fate/destiny and Jacob/MiB are the two forces pulling from...
Kate's name is NOT on the wall, and the 'numbers' have all been accounted for: 4-Locke, 8-Reyes, 15-Ford, 16-Jarrah, 23-Shephard, 42-Kwon. So, Kate and either Jin or Sun are not on this list. Interesting. Particularly since Kate is obviously on the list Jacob stashed in the Ankh inside the...
Wow. Great premiere.
Personally...I think MiB/Esau/Nemesis/SmokeMonster is either Death, Pestilence, Destruction or maybe a combo of all of them. And Jacob is life. Remember the Egyptian portrait of Set calling forth Smokey? Certainly, the God of Death would control Death in such a way...
