Anyone following? Discuss.

Note: this is for anyone to talk about lost, but specifically those keeping up with it. Treat the entire thread as a *SPOILER* alert if you are not up to date with your lost.

I still haven't finished Season 3 :rolleyes:
I don't have any of the pay channels and nor do I like buying dvds. But I would like to see it (because I am an itsy bit smitten with Sawyer, lol) when it becomes available to ppl without satellite tv. I'm not going to look at this thread again in case the plot gets given away, lol.

[luke]

yeh ive been watching it i think its brilliant.the last episode was quality i wondered how richard was like 200yrs old lol it looks like its all going to be about good vs evil cant wait to see how it ends.

[Jona]

My prediction ever since i saw this



Is that somehow everything is going to wind up intertwined like this



but who knows.

[Johnni]

I see those 2 pieces now (having watched season 6 so far) as Good & Evil which each character having their respective coloured stone in the show.

[Lizrah]

I thought Season 5 was a big pile of warts, so Season 6 had better be something special after all that TV watching

[Ziggy]

I'm enjoying Hurley & Desmond playing bigger parts this season.

The latest episode was explosive

I read it as he was surprised he was there as he thoguht getting Jack to come to him would be hard and then the menacing grin when JAck looked shocked to see him as they have'nt met since Locke saw ihim in the hospital.

Season 5 was the best IMO

*SPOILERS*

Ok, I have seen the ending today, OMFG: DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DIDN'T SEE THE LAST EVER EPISODE THAT WAS ON TODAY...

Mixed feelings for me on this episode at the moment but I think I will come to love it eventually. The 'flash-sideways' are actually some kind of purgatory where the losties live a kind of parallel existance until they die in the real world and magicly remember everything - or something.

At what point did they die? When they crashed? No. Everything that happened on the island was real and only when each individual person died (which was all at different times) did they 'wake up' in this alternative universe (aka purgatory) together and then they move on.

There where also lots of unanswered questions and mysteries that will never be answered and I think I will just try not to think about them and remember all the good times watching the show!

I just wish we got more stuff wrapped up but perhaps I to need to 'let go' and I think I will eventually but for now I am a little annoyed at the amount of mysteries they left

Best TV show ever I think

Up there with New-BSG and Star Trek TNG/DS9 for me as my favs

Yeah I know and this is what is annoying me at the moment but I think it was the kind of ending that will be discussed and debated for years and years to come and that is exactly what the writers wanted.

It was either that or spend all the time working through a list of questions and coming up with answers for every last little thing and even then those answers may not be satisfactory for everyone so why bother trying to answer them at all?

Unless they plan on bringing a book out with the answers or something? If so then that would be a good business move by the writers

[Ziggy]

That was it??? A crappy ending with a double dollop of crappy Jack.

What a load of boll-ox

[Johnni]

After thinking on the finale for a day now i come to the conclusion that it was a very good ending. At first i felt it was a cop out but we could'nt have expected them to reveal everything, it kinda takes away the mystique of the show.
I can't remember if i knew what happened correctly when it finished but i think i got the jist of it all now with what the 'flash-sideways' timeline was all about and it seems to all fit now.
The only trouble is you feel with any show you should'nt have to investigate what this meant or what this meant especially with a show finale, i don't expect to be spoon fed but make it a bit clearer please:rolleyes:

Did you lot get it all when it finished or were you thinking 'what was that bit about' etc

Me too, if they had explained everything, that would just lead to more questions, it kept the mystery of lost.

I still want to know what the island is and why its so special, not just that theres some magical light that does bad stuff when it goes out

from what I understand everything that happened on the island was real. The flash sideways, that shows what would happen if the plane didn't crash isn't real, its something like purgatory. The flash sideways/purgatory is a place where time doesn't exist. They all died at different times ( i assume Hurley and ben survived on the island for quite a while , when they were out side the church he said you made a great number 1.... and I guess that the rest of the made it off the island and lived for quite a while too) because time doesn't exist in the flash sideways, when they died, they all showed up at the same time.

they 'made' the flash sideways when they died because they werent ready to except their death yet and move on. when they started meeting eachother in the fake world, they remembered the island and their pasts and realized they were all dead, and were able to move on to whatever was on the other side of the door (presumably Heaven)

[dannymoss]

what i thought of finale

"I dont understand"

[Eeyore Eyes]

I'm sooooo glad there's a thread on here for this ...... because I am so friggin confused right now!!!!

Just watched the finale and am left with a massive WTF in my head!

Some questions I am left with are:

When they first got back home were they really back home or were they dead?
Did the Dharma Initiative really exist or was that a construct of their minds?
The last parallel time thing when Jack had a son were they dead then? What was that all about? They were also on the island waiting to die right?
Why the hell was Wigmore trying to find the island?
Why did Daniels mother warn Desmond off if they were trying to get to heaven or whereever?
Why the hell did the writers make Jack's charcater to pivotal when he was the dullest of them all?

And there's plenty more where they came from!

I just hope that Fridays 'explanation' program actually does some explaining!!!

It really just feels like the writers thought "Right we've strung this out for 6 years how the hell are we going to explain it all?" And really didn't have a clue!

Heres how I understand it

When they first got back home were they really back home or were they dead?
The first time It was real

Did the Dharma Initiative really exist or was that a construct of their minds? Dharma initiative, and everything that hapened on the island is real

The last parallel time thing when Jack had a son were they dead then? What was that all about? They were also on the island waiting to die right?
The last flash sideways, wasn't real, they were dead. It was a sort of pergutory where they were waiting to move on, but they couldn't move on because there was somethings that they needed to fix, or let go of. Everything that happened on the island was real and they were all alive on the island

Why the hell was Wigmore trying to find the island? Ive no Idea, mabye he was trying the find the source/the light and use it for evil, like the bad guys were when jacob was a kid?

Why did Daniels mother warn Desmond off if they were trying to get to heaven or whereever? dunno


Why the hell did the writers make Jack's charcater to pivotal when he was the dullest of them all? I know, he is really boring. They should have killed him off instead of Locke, he actually had character

[luke]

i know daniels mother didnt want desmond to tell people because she wasnt ready lose her son i think, kinda like ben wasnt ready to move on either i rekon he was waitin for his daughter alex.

they should have said the island was like the centre of the universe or sumin that would have explained sum things.

[Eraserhead]

I have a question. How come Michael's ghost was trapped on the Island and couldn't move on? Ok, he committed murder, but Ben did too and many, far worse things. As I recall, Michael eventually redeemed himself by sacrificing his life. Ben did no such thing.

Too many loose ends for my liking. They obviously made it up as they went along.

[Johnni]

What Young Al said seems to be the widely accepted theory of the finale. Alot of things are left to interpretation like what Eloise said to Desmond and why Ben stayed outside the church but by going with the whole purgatory thing i reckon Ben did'nt want to move for reasons of guilt maybe that he could'nt shake off and Eloise not wanting to move on either and wanting to have her son there with her.
The producers always said the shows is about the charecters and the finale proved this cos the Islands secrets took a backstep.

[Riedell]

Was the name Christian Shepard meant to be a clue from the beginning?
Why did Sayid choose Shannon rather than Nadia?
And that labrador looked nothing like Vincent.

[ZeniX]

I was really disappointed about the ending. Infact series 1 was great and the rest was pretty rubbish imo. I'm a lost lover but where they dreamt up all this stuff from...

Nadia died earlier on and probably moved on long a go. As Shannon was on the Island i guess as Christian said the people they were with on the Island were very important to each other and i guess most of them have'nt moved on after their death.
Apparently the dog was the real life dog of the actor playing Jack.

Some questions I am left with are:

My 'answers':

When they first got back home were they really back home or were they dead?
They all died at different times, Locke & Charlie died during the series and presumably those people who escaped on the Jet lived long lives, Hurley & Ben also lived a while longer on the island. They all woke up in the fantasy world together at the same time even though they died at different times.

Did the Dharma Initiative really exist or was that a construct of their minds?
It existed. Everything on the island was real, the only thing that wasn't 'real' is the flash-sideways in season 6.

The last parallel time thing when Jack had a son were they dead then? What was that all about? They were also on the island waiting to die right?
The parallel time thing (aka flash-sideways) was a fantasy world created by the losties, they only became aware of its existence when they died in the real world and Desmond made them aware of it. After they all died they moved on into the light together. Jack never had a son in the real world.

Why the hell was Wigmore trying to find the island?
He wanted to stop the monster from escaping. He claimed that if the smoke monster (AKA Man In Black that looks like Locke) left the island everything would 'cease to be'

Why did Daniels mother warn Desmond off if they were trying to get to heaven or whereever?
Because she was already aware of this fantasy world and didn't want Desmond going around waking everyone up, she didn't want to lose her son and daughter, she seemed content with living in the fantasy world for the time being.

Why the hell did the writers make Jack's charcater to pivotal when he was the dullest of them all?
Only god knows, I say we give him a call and see if he has any of the other answers.

[Phantomy]

Its clear during the series that the writers where making it up as they go along, there was never a plan.

They seemed to be concentrating on ensuring the episode of the week was as good as it could be whilst stringing us along and they did a great job too!!

I actually think I enjoyed the finale and I can live without the answers. I think its inevitable that there will be some kind of spinoff show written by someone else. Perhaps this new show will learn from the old one
