***Lost***

[parrot 789]

I just think the 2nd time he was in more of a rush to get the hell out of there before Desmond noticed and did not take the patch off and worry about a good seal in his mask/goggles the way he did the first time.

But, did he ever put the patch on before getting speared?

[Sho Nuff 720]

But, did he ever put the patch on before getting speared?

 

Yes...they showed him putting it on either right before or right after talking to Ben.

[parrot 789]

Ah, guess I missed that.

Most people hung up on plausibility issues quit this show long ago.

 

I'll never quit; what else would I complain about or make fun of online? But the IGIVEASHIT factor certainly took a nosedive for me this season; I was jazzed every Wednesday the first two years. Now I let the VHS run and pick each episode apart afterwards; I don't care about watching live anymore.

Odd...to me the last part of this season, including the finale (which IMO was the best episode of the series) has been on par with the 1st season that brought me in.

I love the show and never watch it live, DVR will do that to a person though, commercials suck. If you really think last nights show and this season in general sucked, I am not sure what good TV is for you.

I wouldn't want you to quit making fun of it, that was some quality work.

Same here. My attention started to wane towards the end of last year and early this year, but I really got back into it as the season went along.

Isn't Oceanic Air supposed to be no longer in business. There was an ABC owned website that had www.Oceanic-air.com and if you went there it said it has ceased operations since the crash.

but now they are giving golden "lifetime" tickets?

Perhaps...or perhaps they simply did not change that site up yet....because if they had, it could have given away the flash forward.

The scene where Locke was in the pit was the most critical scene in the series so far. Did anyone else here the whisper before the black kid showed up? I bet that was Jacob/the island speaking to Locke or whatever. And also while Locke was talking to him there was a blue light flashing on and off in Locke's belly where he was shot. I don't know about you guys but I think there's something strange going on there.

Maybe Locke is a cyborg

More small thoughts

 

- I'm sticking to my "travel to the past" theory. It makes sense to me. No one mentioned anything about the island...no telling if everyone knows or didnt know about the island.

 

- After a year, Walt turned from an innocent looking kid into Greg Oden's older brother.

 

- If Charlie had time to close the hatch door...why didn't he walk OUT of the hatch door and lock it? would be more believable if the grenade went off quicker.

 

- NO one saw Locke sneak up on the group with a giant knife? NO ONE? There was over 30 people there!! NO ONE?!?!

 

- Who didn't see the "fake shooting of JIn, Sayjd and Benard" thing coming?

 

- So Naomi is not with Penny, which means another group of people will be joining us for season 4. Think the losties and the others will have to join forces to fight these guys?

 

- Little scared about next season. ABC wanted the writers to EXTEND the middle part of the story a little bit. I'm afraid that the EXTENDED part is all in season 4 and it will not make too much sense.

 

- We don't know HOW into the future was that flash forward.

I thought the time travel theory was shot to hell last night myself.

 

Charlie was good with his fate and knew he had to die that way I think.

 

I am pretty sure that was to be set in the present time, basing that on the cell he was using.

[Vikings4ever 550]

- If Charlie had time to close the hatch door...why didn't he walk OUT of the hatch door and lock it? would be more believable if the grenade went off quicker.

Charlie had to die to ensure Desmond's vision of Claire being rescued. He knew he was going on a suicide mission.

[jets24 6]

Also, I wish they would have shown Ben's face when Locke came to the site. I mean, he did just shoot him a few days ago and left him to die among many dead bodies.

That may be true, however it will only be extended 6 episodes overall from 120 originally planned to 126 now. If you take into account that generally there is 3 minutes of show followed by 8 minutes of ads this only means around 3 hours total extended show time.

[Sho Nuff 720]

 

 

- We don't know HOW into the future was that flash forward.

 

Speculation and theory here.

 

The woman in the accident with the son....Juliet's sister and her son.

Thought was it appeared he might be in the 8 year old range.

Putting it at about 2010.

There was a blip somewhere in the article Jack had about something at the Grand Avenue apartments (NY I believe)...which supposedly are currently under contstruction...meaning it cannot be just real time right now by that theory.

[wiffleball 4,790]

12 pages? Really??

 

 

I watched the 'catch up' show last night after not watching since the first season - and I don't feel like I missed a thing. I went from a Rabid fan at first to not giving a damn pretty fast.

 

 

Locke has gone 'round the bend. I woulda shot him myself for blowing up the focknig sub.

[NAn 39]

 

 

Him mentioning his dad was part of 2 things...one to show how focked Jack is...two to keep people from realizing its a flash forward until the end.

 

The chief of surgery (not Jack's dad) had that look of...what are you talking about...he is dead.

He forged a scrip from his dad and when the pharmacist was about to call he went crazy because he knows she would find out that the older Doc Shepherd is dead.

 

actually I thought about this and definite possibility (I mean if they can show Mikhail die and then 'simply' explain him alive b/c the pylons were 'not set to lethal', they could do this):

 

So when Chief looks at Jack after he mentions his dad, the Chief isn't giving him a look of 'pity' (as Jack interrupts it), but a look of 'WTF are you talking about?You're dad's dead!'

 

So what about Kate, just running around free and no longer a fugitive?

How about this: (if I missed something from flashback scenes that discounts this scenario...jump in)

Who's to say she's still not a fugitive? All we saw was a clandestine meeting betwee her/Jack.

So the marshal had been following her and finally caught her...became a vendetta for him. Maybe, he was even called off the case. So he caught her spur of the moment, and didn't call it in...he plans to just show up at HQ with her in tow. So, she comes back still a fugitive, but no record of her 'current name' or she's been captured, so she continues on the run.

 

I'm probably reaching, but hell this is Lost.

[FantasyBowl33 0]

Could the whole Jack "bring my father here and see who's more drunk" bit be something like "bring his dead ass corpse up here and that ass will still be more drunk then me".

[JT 137]

How does Jack stealing Cat Steven's beard figure into all of this?

[Snuff 10]

And hey! We get to wait until next focking January to start watching again!

[Vikings4ever 550]

How does Jack stealing Cat Steven's beard figure into all of this?

When I first saw bearded Jack, I was wondering when he was a Muslim.

[itsbigmoni 1]

I thought of leonides. Yes, i focked up the spelling. It sucks because everyone said his beard was tyte. I was thinkin, hey, i have a beard, maybe i'll make it look like that. But then i realized i can't yet.

 

Maybe if i get yolked up and get my beard right, i'll walk around in my undies and a cape. Oh and the shield. And some boots.

[nobody 2,667]

The problem with Charlie not closing the door is that the station is underwater which means the inside has to be pressurized. If you puncture the station, the air under pressure on the side will be forced out through the hole, and the water will come up through the bottom of the station because there is no air pressure there to force it down.

 

Of course, the water will only rise up to the level of the window, and then air wouldn't be able to escape anymore so, yeah he probably could have saved his life.

As for Kate...there is still alot of time between where they are on the island...and where they were for the meeting.

And as you said, she could still be a fugitive which is why the secretive meeting...and perhaps her reaction to the question about her not being at the viewing/funeral. As in...why would I go there...it would be the first place the feds would be looking for me.

I got the feeling that they were supposed to be hiding the fact that they knew each other or something. Like Jack saying, "I'm tired of hiding it," and stuff like that.

 

Also, are we supposed to just stop wondering why those numbers from season 1 are important? They kind of forgot about them over the last season.

[phillybear 366]

I'm a day behind the rest of the world, as I just finished watching and digesting the finale. I haven't read any other posts, so here goes.

 

Random thoughts as I watched Part I...

 

Jack is on an Oceanic flight, but a different plane. Similar scenario, where he is looking for alcohol from the stewardess, like he did with Cindy.

 

As Jack was on the bridge, I wanted him to jump. Then an amazing thing happened. He acted his ass off the rest of the night. Great stuff. Then again, Jack cries more than any other cast member, and that includes Aaron.

 

After Naomi showed Jack how easy it was to use the satellite phone, right there, it was telegraphing a bad vibe. Jack: "That's it?" as to how easy it was to operate. Nothing is ever easy on the island.

 

Right off the bat, the women in the Looking Glass were Others, so there goes the theory that they were Dharma.

 

Charlie with what might be the line of the night as the women are talking to Ben. "Tell him (Ben) I said Hi!!" Charlie very cavalier on the eve of his death. Kept being witty.

 

Ben crumbling. "I lied." Obviously, the Others continue to have their faith in everything eroding faster and faster. "What else did Juliet tell them?" Indeed. More importantly, what hasn't she told them/us?

 

Bernard sucks at life. He would have missed his shots from 3 feet away.

 

Did anyone else have trouble with scene after scene bouncing from night time, to day light, to night time? We see the Losties walking to the tower. Light. The ambush at the beach. Dark. Walking to tower to meet Ben. Light. The light of the day just seemed very wrong the whole first part of the finale.

 

Jack's ex-wife is just pure evil. I've ranted previously about how ungrateful she was to abandon Jack and cheat on him after he saved her life. Then she won't even give him a ride home. Huh? She sucks at life.

 

Live together. Die alone. I'll punch you in the face. Foreshadowing to Ben, later on.

 

Killed 7 others. Very nice. Juliet betrayed Ben, and all the Others know it.

 

Sayid captured again. This guy was a soldier? He gets captured in every single episode. Worst. Soldier. Ever.

 

Bernard spills all the beans. He sang so much, I thought that I was watching American Idol instead of Lost. Bernard sucks.

 

It's interesting seeing Ben's transformation this season. We see him so smug and cocky, up until the sub exploded. Since, everything has gone very wrong. His looks of incredulity and exasperation, his eyes bulging as if someone is kicking him in the nuts repeatedly, are something to behold. A man losing his grip very rapidly, on something he painstakingly created over a long period of time.

 

Why is Richard subservient to Ben? Why? It's odd how Ben is the unquestioned leader.

 

Mikhail is a terrible shot, trying to kill Desmond. And he was a soldier? Yeah, this is why the Soviets lost the Cold War.

 

Jack is a hero, "twice" over. Huh? When was he a hero the first time? Flash forward, no doubt. This is creepy. We are watching visions from the future, that didn't first appear in Desmond's flashes.

 

Jack kisses Juliet, in front of Kate. Hahaha. In your face, Kate.

 

The two women were "on assignment" in Canada. First of all, this could be a reference to the Arctic post from the end of Season 2, but probably not. Secondly, didn't Ben call one of the women "Ryan" when they first broke radio silence. Yet, their names are now Greta and Bonnie. Huh? What the fock? Alternate reality, blip on the time line?

 

Ben continues to spin his wheels. Get caught in lies, lies, lies, blames everything on Jacob. Weak excuses. No one believes him anymore.

 

If Mikhail can cheat death, and become healthy, why the fock won't his eye heal?

 

Walt is back. I am cringing, just remembering Michael screaming "Walt" and "They took my boy" thousands of times, episode after episode. I lose sleep at night over Michael's bad acting. Walt is no doubt the smoke monster. He isn't teleporting, because he tells Locke he has work to do, and likely tells him exactly what needs to be done. Creepy. I never watched Twin Peaks, but I imagine that stuff like this happened on that show quite frequently.

 

I am convinced that Locke was never paralyzed. It's all in his head. When he starts to have self doubts, or wallows in pity, psychosematically he loses feeling in his legs. His dad tosses him out a window. Bam. Can't walk. Self pity. Locke doubts the island, self pity, loses legs temporarily, finds the plane. All of the sudden, he carries Boone back to camp. Locke in the mass grave. Feels sorry for himself. Bam. Walt. Smiles, and will begin to walk soon. Locke is enigmatic, a wimp and a warrior.

 

Time to start typing Part Two....

[Vikings4ever 550]

Bernard sucks at life. He would have missed his shots from 3 feet away.

You mean Jin? Bernard made his shot.

 

If Mikhail can cheat death, and become healthy, why the fock won't his eye heal?

Maybe he lost his eye prior to coming to the island.

[JT 137]

When I first saw bearded Jack, I was wondering when he was a Muslim.

 

Will one of the flashbacks show him being followed by a moon shadow? Or will it be a flash forward?

[phillybear 366]

Random thoughts as I watched Part 2...

 

"I Love You". Cringe. Jack, Jack, Jack, what are you doing, you wannabe pimp. You just kissed Juliet. Now, you're going after Kate. Weak.

 

Nirvana blasting away on Jack's car stereo. Reference to Kurt Cobain?

 

Who died? Nobody showed up. Family or friend? Neither. OK. So this leads me to believe it was Ben in the coffin. His family is dead. And nobody liked him. A lot of the Others are dead. Or went to the Temple.

 

I jotted down the name of the funeral parlor: Hoffs/Drawler. I looked it over. Guess what? Anagram!! "Flash forward"

 

Mikhail shows up. Interesting point is raised. Why did the women have to be at the hatch? No possible reason. Weird.

 

Everything is falling apart for the Others, yet they still obey orders. Morons.

 

The speargun shot into Mikhail was sweet.

 

Jack mentions that his father signed the prescription. He is away on business. Yeah, right. However, Jack's dad's corpse was on the plane. I will discount alternate reality for the simplicity of Jack is lying.

 

Naomi is not who we think she is. Duh. Everybody knows this except for the Losties.

 

Jack beat the crap out of Ben. I chuckled at this scene. Jack telling Tom "I'm going to kill you." Not bad. Not bad at all. Great line. Jack is Rambo.

 

Alex, this is your mother. Interesting scene. As Rousseau leaned in, I expect her to kill Alex. And by kiss, I mean jam her tongue down Alex's throat. Creepy scene. Ben letting Alex go free.

 

Jack wants Ben to know that he failed. Jack is Rambo's older, more bad ass brother.

 

The van attack was a big surprise. Sayid snapping the Other's neck was sweetly crunchy, like a spoonful of Captain Crunch cereal. Munch. Munch. Munch. Finally, Sayid does something where he isn't totally useless. He is the damsel in distress in every episode.

 

Great scene with Sawyer killing bumbling Tom. "That's for taking the kid off the raft." As Sawyer said, I'm not done with you, Zeke. I think he's done with him now. Sawyer is now a verifiable hit man, a man with nothing to lose, a dangerous man.

 

Death. Carnage. Death. Welcome to the Evil Lost Island. Yes.

 

Jack tells the Chief of Surgery to go get his father, and compare how drunk he is. Wow. Either Jack is delusional, his father is really alive, or...the possibilities are endless. Then again, the executive producers swore up and down that Christian Shepherd is dead.

 

Penny appears in another season finale, and delivers some memorable lines. Who's Naomi? What boat? Did you say Desmond?

 

Mikhail just won't die. He is a monster. He is Kenny from South Park. He is the Terminator 2 monster. He is one of my favorite characters. Then pulls out a grenade and grins. Yeah!!!

 

Why couldn't Charlie open up the door as the water was spilling in. Destiny, shmestiny. Get your stupid ass out of the death trap. The women showed that by spinning the wheel, you can open the door. Dumb ass Charlie dies a nearly useless death, other than telling Desmond that Naomi is a liar. The next step will be Desmond paddling back to the beach, and Hurley to tell Jack about this nugget.

 

Locke is a mad man. He couldn't kill his father, but he kills Naomi. I was torn. I kind of wanted him to kill Jack, but he becomes his usual wimpy self. Grow a pair, mister.

 

The airport scene creates a boatload of new questions...

Get back?

Sick of lying?

Made a mistake?

Not supposed to leave?

Wondering where I am?

 

So basically, what price did the Losties pay to escape. Jack is drinking and drugging up, so obviously there was a lot of bad stuff that happened. I have to assume that people were left behind, and they can't find the island again. Jack and Kate got off, as did the person at the funeral. Who else made it? Who didn't? Who are the people on the phone. Gotta be Dharma, coming with fury. Ben was actually telling the truth this time.

[phillybear 366]

Ah ha! And maybe they did. Kate is back with her first boyfriend (that's the 'he') and that's why she's not in jail because she never torched her Mom's boyfriend. Jack is all messed up because he had another chance to fix things, but his Dad is still a drunk fock up and his wife still left him. And that's what they are lying about. They can't tell anyone that they've come "from the future". And the guy in the coffin upsets Jack so much because it was one of the people from the island that had a second chance at life and still wound up dead...

 

 

I think you guys might be on to something here.

[teejay booker 0]

I jotted down the name of the funeral parlor: Hoffs/Drawler. I looked it over. Guess what? Anagram!! "Flash forward"

 

You are a freak of nature.

 

Alex, this is your mother. Interesting scene. As Rousseau leaned in, I expect her to kill Alex. And by kiss, I mean jam her tongue down Alex's throat. Creepy scene. Ben letting Alex go free.

 

Freudian slip?

 

 

I like your ideas. I think this goes without saying, but I doubt that Jack will ever get back to the island as the island chooses who belongs on it. Jack's entire existence on the island was devoted to nothing but getting off the island. Obviously he is not worthy, and he has to deal with the reprecussions of coming back to his sh1tty, irrelevant life off the island.

[phillybear 366]

Swell, so we can look forward to the potential Season 4 storylines:

 

* Jacob's backstory; his father was a matchstick who never had time for him.

 

* Hurley convinces the entire cast; Oceanic passengers, The Others and the freighter's crew to help him built a road between the radio tower and beach to boost morale. The task is miraculously accomplished overnight and he fuels the VW with a synthesized petroleum byproduct developed by Dharma.

 

* Jin's father gets a backstory which somehow reveals Sun and Jin are siblings. He washes up on The Island frantic to stop Sun from having their baby; having received the bad news from the Medium who worked with Claire.

 

* Mikhail falls from a cliff, gets an arm hacked off by Rose, contracts malaria, has his good eye poked out when Ben discovers he didn't stop Charlie, breaks both ankles, goes insane, loses his hair and is set on fire; yet manages to thwart a rescue helicopter's attempt to land on the runway it turns out Juliette wasn't lying to Sawyer about.

 

* Kate sleeps with Jack, Sayid, Locke, Jacob, Hurley, Jin, Bernard, Ben, Richard, Sawyer, Carl, "WALT!", Desmond, Mikhail and some surfer that was blown off course, gets pregnant and Juliette can't determine ahead of time who the father is. Kate wanders away and performs a self-abortion rather than risk having a child by "That depraved lunatic Bernard!"

 

* Claire and Jacob have a passionate affair and he convinces her to offer Aaron as a sacrifice to The Island.

 

* Locke kills the frighter's crew singlehandedly using only his cunning and a sharpened toothbrush.

 

* Sawyer's backstory shows he returned to high school and was awarded a football scholarship to Alabama with dreams of starting at linebacker. He was instead relegated to second string, refused to redshirt, dropped out and swore vengeance on "That b@stard Derrick Thomas". Moving forward to January 2000, Sawyer is portrayed as a homicidal maniac; well versed in running other drivers off the road and making it look accidental.

 

This is ratings gold. Gold, I tell ya. GOLD!!!

Of all the questions the finale has put forward, the biggest one is how the hell did Tiki Barber go from playing for the Giants to becoming the Chief of Surgery in four months!?

Its kinda random that two people from that show Las Vegas ended up on lost within a few weeks. Naomi is way hotter with black hair, normal clothes and a more prominent accent. But yea, that black guy is from that show too.

 

I was thinking more along the lines of turk from scrubs though.

[kutulu 1,676]

 

Sick of lying?

 

 

 

Watched it again tonight and was wondering what this lying Jack is referring to.

[MicktheGreat 1]

Random thoughts as I watched Part 2...

 

Who died? Nobody showed up. Family or friend? Neither. OK. So this leads me to believe it was Ben in the coffin. His family is dead. And nobody liked him. A lot of the Others are dead. Or went to the Temple.

 

I thought it would be Ben too.

 

However, if you look at the obituary that Jack was reading, it says that the man's name was J____ __anthem. That's not even close to Ben's name. Plus it says that the deceased is from New York. Ben is from Oregon (as we see in his birth flashback).

 

So...who could the mystery dead guy be???

 

Let's look at the characters, whose name starts with J (other than Jack):

John

James ("Sawyer")

Jin

Juliet

 

It can't be Juliet because the obit clearly says that it's a "man" found dead. And it can't be any of the male characters either because none of them are from New York (John is from CA, James is from TN, Jin is from Asia).

 

The only characters from New York (apparently) are Bernard, Rose, and Michael. It can't be Rose because (again) the "man" comment in the obit. I doubt that it's Bernard -- because there's no reason for Kate to act so callused towards him when Jack asks if she went to the funeral. Michael is a possibility -- he's a male, he's from NY, he betrayed the Losties (which would explain why none of them visited and why Jack would say that he wasn't a "friend"), the funeral home was located in a black neighborhood (may/may not mean anything), and has shown the potential to be depressed enough to kill himself (which, suicide was also implied in the obit...if something happened to WALT!, it would explain why Michael would kill himself AND why no one was there).

 

However, while Michael fits the dead guy in some ways, his name doesn't match up with J____ __anthem.

 

All that leads me to think that the dead guy is a character that we haven't seen yet...

 

[CantTouchThis 23]

I just watched the answers show. They said in the begining they will reveal the past, present, and FUTURE of the losties. The present is what is going on on the island. The past are the flashbacks. Next season will start a string of flash futures, on how the losties live after they get rescued. Other than Danielle, i would think she would be the only one to have flashbacks, since she will almost without a doubt become a main character.

 

Also, they said the island is on the space-time continueum, wouldn't that mean that it is not in the past or there is nothing wrong with the time on the island, it is just the present??? Also, another thing to put to rest the real time is in the past theory. Jack was the hero "twice over" meaning he was a hero before. Like i said in a previous post, as heroic as it was, saving a women and child from a burning car wouldn't get you as much fame as Jack got. EVERYONE was was calling Jack a hero or the big hero. However, you would get that kind of fame if you rescued a bunch of long lost thought to be dead plane crash survivors off a mysterious, invisible island in the south pacific. Also, he said the airline gave them all golden passes.

 

It is a solid theory that makes sense.....that means there is NO WAY that is what is going to happen. Any theory that makes sense should automatically be put to rest...
