Scott, are you watching Battlestar? I don't recall seeing you in any of the season threads. If you ever decide to give it a shot, Bear McCreary has a blog about his work on the show (as well as his other shows, such as Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Trauma, Human Target, and...

That's Kate's theme (she doesn't really have any leitmotifs that I can remember). It's was established back from in season one, and appears on the OST as "Kate's Motel." It's a musical homage to one of Giacchino's influences, Bernard Herrmann, who himself was influenced by Dies Irae. I don't...

You're in for a treat as you catch up with the episodes you haven't seen. His Emmy in 2009 was well-deserved.

I just wanted to point out something that struck me as another (perhaps) instance of great story-telling and foreshadow while rewatching the series from the start. In the season 3 episode "Left Behind," Hurley makes the comment that Sawyer will have to be the leader now that Kate, Jack, and...

That was my view on the scene, as well. Perhaps someone decided to move beyond bunnies, to bears, and failed to carry the 1 in the calculation :)

With season 4 well in hand now, I would like to add that the episode, "The Constant," was, in my humble opinion, one of the best, if not the best episode of the series. Desmond is one of my favourite characters on the show, so I am slightly biased (though, his episodes do tend to be amazing)...

I am unsure of what you mean by this... Dharma was around in the 70s, and that is certainly the past...

Okay, so I'm rewatching the entire series over the spring/summer break, since the number of shows to watch has dwindled to few. I am currently at the first few episodes of season 2, and I have finally made up my mind about The Swan. So here's my take on the station, feel free to refute, correct...

The purge has been confirmed as a gas-attack from The Tempest, in the episode "The Other Women," and since there was no iminent threat after the purge, it's unlikely Ben would have resorted to ALSO moving the island, as it's the "measure of last resort." This brings up the question of HOW...

At the end of season 3, Ben told Richard and The Others to head for The Temple, as the "last safe place on the island." I'm not sure, but I don't think he was planning on moving the island then, but merely "hiding" The Others from whomever Widmore was sending on Naomi's boat. I think at this...

Oops, that was a slip of the (finger?). I also don't think Daniel could have made it back to the island in time, which is why I wonder what is going to happen to him. I don't think he was caught up in the disappearance, either. I do, however, think he'll be make it to the boat wreckage, and pick...

I don't think the island's power over space/time (ie the ability to "move") was the secondary protocol. I still maintain that Dharma has only a slight, tenuous grasp on the inner-workings of the island (read: the powers), and thus the stations don't have full control over them. Ben, as the...

Thanks Joe, I had forgotten about Shannon when I made my above post about philosophers and scientists.

Does anyone really think anything BUT this will happen? They have been building up Ben as a villain, but I would argue it's the audience's point of view that mars his image. He's "the good guy here, Jack."

Just want to point out that if one is to read deeper into the philosophers whose names are invoked in the show, then perhaps it is necessary to also delve into the scientists' names that are also used. We have a Kelvin, a Faraday, and a Minkowski (am I forgetting anyone?). At the very least...

There was indeed one male and one female - "our very own Adam and Eve."

Though of course my ideas are just that, ideas, see my post just above yours for my guesses on a few of your questions :)

My guess is that Charlotte is one of the original (perhaps timeless) inhabitants of the island (a contemporary, if you will, of Richard). Here's semi-grand theory of LOST. I'll put it in point form since I know I tend to write paragraphs upon paragraphs of material, and it can sometimes get...

I'm willing to say that we will indeed have an answer to every story thread, by the end of the series finale. I know there are quotes, true or otherwise, about some story threads being left out to dry (the numbers, etc), but I don't buy it. And to be quite fair, we did see Libby in a...

Great finale, as usual. What is going to happen to Daniel...?

She's had pretty extensive (as far as non-crash victims go) screentime. She was imprisoned by Saddam during the Gulf War, and when Sayid is sent to torture info out of her, she recognizes him as her childhood friend. He later allows for her escape from the prison. We later find out that...

Sticking with my good vs evil theory (and the island as the "battle-ground), are Abaddon and Alpert on the same side, or working against each other, "one light, one dark," as Locke would say. Further, are they perhaps the pre-cursors to Ben and Whidmore in "the fight?" Are Locke and maybe even...

Most people agree that The Smoke-Monster killed "The Pilot," (Greg Grunberg) so we have at least seen some carnage at its, er, hands. In a similar vein, I wonder when we will see a flashback to the night of the crash, but from Ben and his group's point of view. It would be nice to see why The...

Not at all joking, 50% of the people will think it was "awesome," and "perfect," while the other 50% will think it was "stupid," a "rip-off," and they will claim to have "wasted years" on the show.

It's understandable how it can be missed - I only look for it because I have the scar myself :)

As I have stated right after the previous post on this subject, Jack indeed HAD the scar, exactly where it was supposed to be, in the "future scenes." http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...ml#post3366718

Actually he most definately HAD the scar in the scene in question. I had my appendix removed as a teenager, and for some reason, everytime I see someone shirtless, be it in a movie/tv/real life, I immediately scan them for the tell-tale scar. To that end, as soon as I saw the scar on Jack, I...

He's refering to those "lines." The I-ching thing was brought up back in season 2 I think, and the candle-theme to the Asian-host's name has been discussed, albeit briefly, as well.

Also, the Dharma parka wasn't even Ben's. It had the name of the Asian doctor, the one whose name changes, who was in all the instruction videos. Marvin Candle, Mark Wickmund, and Edgar Halliwax, with the final name being on the jacket.

Possible, but doubtful.
