It was a great interview. I liked hearing about the genesis of Lost all in one shot. I think I had heard some bits and pieces elsewhere.

Yes, the speculation and all the various theories was loads of fun. I'm still looking forward to seeing it all again some day.

Hold on ... the Island really was not purgatory. It is just the sideways flashes that were explained as some kind of limbo/purgatory. I would have enjoyed the final episode a lot more if the final 15 minutes or so of the episode explained that the sideways flashes were a parallel reality...

I finally watched the "New Man in Charge" addendum to the series. I thought it was quite fun answering some long standing questions (some of which folk had already figured out). Seeing it does make me miss the show and wish we could see more of the adventures of Ben and Hurley.

Is there a list somewhere of which episodes have commentaries?

Quote: That was included a few pages back and the writer, especially in saying does not really seem to have a good grip on reality. I refuse to believe that they had that completely scripted in the beginning and out of sheer (you name it) didn't want to change it. That just defies all...

By the way, I started recording from 10 PM on Saturday night in order to get the Aloha to Lost again (WJLA first broadcast it in 4:3 SD). It appears that it did start near 10:05 which means the rebroadcast of the finale really was about 2:05 including commercials. I have no idea what they cut...

Those are my favorites as well. It is good that people has a sense of humor about this.

Over on AVS Forum someone posted this great ending to Lost:

Quote: Yes, the bomb and island was a bit a deceptive storytelling. The whole simultaneous storytelling was a valid technique. The one episode in which things were happening at the same time was Desmond's episode. When he was being tested by Widmore, he saw the part of the Sideways story...

Quote: Regarding Bernard - he was at least referred to be Rose during season 1. We did see Desmond in a Jack flashback. But, the statement that they didn't want different people in the church "because they wrote the ending to the show after writing the pilot" is just stupid (and insulting...

Quote: And Kristin confirmed at least one answer that will appear on the DVDs. We'll find out what happened to Walt. I just hope they attend to some of the other loose ends.

I just skimmed through the finale again, fast forwarding through some and pausing at other things. Somehow I misremembered when Miles discovered Richard's grey hair. I had been thinking it was after Jack pulled the plug, but it was before that. I guess he just started aging once Jack took...

Of course, they might just say what they say in the clip shown on ABC with Diane Sawyer in post 1697. I do think they will say some other things and perhaps answer other questions. The point of letting people debate is for people to have that experience. If they want to add in what they...

Quote: Actually, I think they said that they are just going into "radio silence" so we can make our own interpretations of the ending for now. They may have some commentary or feature on the DVDs discussing this. They will probably come out of "radio silence" in the weeks leading up to...

It needs to be before 1867 because those still on the surface of the island can see the large Tawaret statue that was broken up by the arrival of the Black Rock in 1867.

One thing that I still believe is not quite explained is some of the appearances of Christian Shephard. We know some of them are the Smoke Monster, but there are at least 3 which are not quite clear. 1) How was Christian able to appear to Jack in Los Angeles? Was it just a hallucination...

And Jack referred to his original wound and Kate's stitching of it by talking about his 'counting to 5" fear method.

Quote: To my surprise, this morning I read one of the professional TV critics of the Washington Post agreeing with the purgatory theory. Even though he gets paid to do this it doesn't mean he is correct, but it does show that there is healthy room for debate.

Quote: I always thought that the Flash Sideways was an epilogue of sorts to the main story on the island. I thought it was a different sort of epilogue, though. I had been thinking that it really was an alternate timeline created by the bomb in The Incident and that somehow in the end that...

Quote: Did you really expect there to be serious alternate endings on Jimmy Kimmel? Thanks for including it here, I hadn't seen it yet (and WJLA broadcast it in SD so I'm glad to see the full aspect).

Quote: The Red Sox haven't won the World Series in over 90 years. Anything else is a collective hallucination.

Quote: It is implied during the conversation between Hurley and Ben on the island that Hurley will find Desmond a way off the island. I don't think we have to see that to believe that it happened. Now of course a weird thing about Desmond is that while he was being tested by Widmore he...

Quote: As has been stated many pages back, I believe it is entirely consistent in the show that the fertility problem became manifest on the island in the aftermath of The Incident. That's all the explanation that I need for that.

More thoughts - Desmond (when on the island) clearly did not understand what the Sideways construct was and with him we were led to believe that it was another reality. He thought that he was going to be whisked away to this wonderful alternate life, but it didn't happen and he needed to be sent...

Quote: And Juliet said "It worked." So, when she died on the island, she flashed to her awareness in the Sideways construct. I think that everything happened on the island "for real." It was only the Sideways construct that was a limbo.

Quote: Yes, I haven't seem the Jimmy Kimmel thing yet - were they there and if not did anyone say why?

Was Sawyer one of the least successful con men in existence? We see him get conned to kill someone in Australia, blow up a few his own cons, get conned by Ben and a rabbit, get conned by the Man in Black, and there must be more.

The enhancements are not officially "canon" and I probably am not going to watch more of the enhanced pilot, but when the smoke monster first appears they say that it used to be a man known as "The Man in Black" and he was robbed of his body and humanity by his brother and turned into smoke (or...

I have some co-workers who also think she is the ex-wife. It will be interesting if that is the case.
