Tree, I dont think you get what im saying. Yes people have come close to dying or appeared dead for the moment, but this has nothing to do with Jack for example getting his appendix taken out. He may have been close to dying but we know at that moment he does not die. We know this because we know he gets off the island after his appendix is taken out. I know they now have an end in mind, and I am sure it has been outlined since they know now exactly how many shows are left, but they have rewritten plenty on the show and my problem is that some things do not add up because of the rewrites. I could just be being nit picky about certain details but I just wanted this show to have a predetermined story from beginning to end. Of course this has been made impossible with Eko leaving. From what I read Eko didnt like a lot of what the writers were doing with his character and then either one or both his parents passed away so he wanted out of the show to go back to London. The writers granted this to him. I am well aware of the DUIs. Lost star asked to go home 6th article down. | ||||||

A theory that my wife came up with: In the preview for next week's finale there's a scene when Frank says they are running out of gas in the helicopter. Sawyer's going to jump and sacrifice his life for Kate. Once again, just a theory but they always like to kill off somebody big in the finale and we know he doesn't get off the island. | ||||||

Nope. Only been insinuated so far. Watched the previous weeks episode last night to make up for none on. Funny thing I thought similar things to that MBT. Must have been subliminal message from previously reading your post. :) | ||||||

What IF...the island DOES move physical locations, not just in time itself and moves to a colder climate? this would probably explain why they find things from different places and times, like the large statue. to me, the love story of Desmond and Penny, a tale of loss, betrayal, and a love across all time, is the "heart" of this show. i totally agree with statement and if they killed of Desmond i think my likeing of the show would go way down. Lost is spectacular. It seems that for a few seasons the X-files was a decent 2nd to Lost! Lost may go down atleast in my book as the best alltime tv show but on stand alone epidsodes the X-files had better shows. I think that is what makes this show interesting is that it does not have any stand alone episodes, minus maybe the epidsode where the kill off nikki and paulo, even in japan where tv series like this are more common they usually have stand alone episodes. I do worry that the show end up like X-files where at the end you look back and are like man they just have been just jerking me around for years now. | ||||||
| 174 | beastiemiked ID: 402141714 Fri, May 23, 2008, 12:57 | No way the kill Sawyer, most people favorite character. Desmond is pretty big key to the story so I don't he bites it. Jin on the other hand... | ||||||

Nope. Only been insinuated so far. Kate is definitely doing at least 1 favor for Sawyer, whether he is dead or alive is debateable. I would think hes alive just from the last line of the following scene. Transcript: JACK: I wanna know where you were. I wanna know who you were with. KATE: It doesn't matter, Jack. Please. JACK: No, tell me. Tell me! KATE: (Sighs) I was doing something for him. JACK: For who? KATE: For Sawyer. I made him a promise. It... (sighs) JACK: (sighs) What? KATE: It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with us. JACK: Then why won't you tell me? KATE: Because--because he wouldn't want me to. JACK: But he's not here, is he? No. No, he made his choice. He chose to stay. I'm the one who came back. I'm the one who's here. I'm the one who saved you. | ||||||
| 176 | tastethewaste ID: 514342313 Fri, May 23, 2008, 14:37 | Lost is the best show I personally have ever seen, just ahead of Freaks and Geeks and Get a Life. I have heard great things about Battlestar Galactica (the new one) that it is better written and acted than Lost but I have never seen it. I guess that would be next on my list. | ||||||

if you thought that 2nd season was pure crap you need to have your head checked!! That season was pure genius. I dont really know if its my 3rd favorite show of all time, but ive always loved it and felt really disappointed when it got cancelled. Non comedies I would have to go with Quantum Leap and Northern Exposure after Lost. | ||||||

The last 3 weeks have been torturous for me. I was unable to watch the show and kept seeing this thread pop up on the main forum page. I finally had a chance to catch up tonight. Just a few thoughts about what's been said so far. Who's to say the O6 get off the island this season? With three left to go, they could all finally get away next year. I'm sure someone can refute me and we'll know for sure Thursday night, but it could very well be another half-season away. Lost makes my Top 5, easy. /thread hijack When it comes to lists like this, though, it's hard to define "All-time." My parameters will be, "In my lifetime, so far." In alphabetical order: Cheers (I know, I know... but it's my list; make your own list) Lost M*A*S*H Twin Peaks (very Lost-like) WKRP in Cincinnatti /hijack off | ||||||

tree, did you get what I mean yet about less tension in certain situations. Sayid's fight with Keamy = no suspense. Jin, Desmond and Michael on freighter with C4 - not knowing what will happen to them = suspsense. sorry, i disagree entirely. the entire show was tension-packed. Sayid's fight with Keamy was bad ass. at no point did i think to myself "oh, whatever. we know Sayid's not dead. i think i'll go fix myself a scone." instead, i was sitting there yelling for Sayid to f*ck him up. Jin, Desmond, and Michael. that's an even worse example. we STILL don't know for sure what happened. how can you say there was no suspense!!?? there still *IS* suspense that i have to wait until January to find out about! you're telling me there was no suspense as Locke was trying to keep Keamy alive so the bomb wouldn't blow? you're telling me there was no suspense as they were trying to find a way to diffuse the bomb? that was there no suspense when Desmond was out cold? was there no suspense when Sun was screaming they had to turn back? how on earth do you watch ANY television show week in and week out, or any major motion picture, when you KNOW the lead character(s) isn't likely to get killed???? | ||||||

Hey Tree, why don't you tell the rest of the story about that picture? From everyone's favorite Wikipedia! Kind of a creepy story actually. "As requested in his will, his body was preserved and stored in a wooden cabinet, termed his "Auto-icon". Originally kept by his disciple Dr. Southwood Smith, it was acquired by University College London in 1850. The Auto-icon is kept on public display at the end of the South Cloisters in the main building of the College. For the 100th and 150th anniversaries of the college, the Auto-icon was brought to the meeting of the College Council, where he was listed as "present but not voting". Tradition holds that if the council's vote on any motion is tied, the auto-icon always breaks the tie by voting in favour of the motion. The Auto-icon has always had a wax head, as Bentham's head was badly damaged in the preservation process. The real head was displayed in the same case for many years, but became the target of repeated student pranks including being stolen on more than one occasion. It is now locked away securely." | ||||||

MBT - good call from your wife. funny thing about Bentham - when i was a kid, i was really into a book series called The Book of Lists... one of the lists was called something like "10 incredibly well preserved body parts". along with Anne Boylen's little finger and Napolean's penis. was Jeremy Bentham's body. so, i was familiar with Bentham, and his fate, well before this episode of Lost. that being said, Bentham's story regarding his wax head, makes you wonder whether Locke really is in the coffin... | ||||||
| 193 | katietx ID: 201411622 Fri, May 30, 2008, 10:07 |
Yeah, IS that really Locke and if so - why Jeremy Bentham? But then if he came back from the island to tell everyone they HAD to go back, he couldn't very well come back as John Locke who supposedly died with everyone else. sigh. That one went right over my head - but then a bunch of things on this show go over my head. And when Sun confronted Whitmore she didn't appear pregnant anymore. I agree with Tree...this is absolutely the best show on TV. I'm going to watch again tonite 'cuz I know I missed something. | ||||||

tree, can you at least acknowledge your mistake in post 188? yes. i mis-read something you said. doesn't change my belief that there was plenty of suspense and tension in the fight between Sayid and Keamy, and that knowing the characters are alive off island has no effect on any of the suspense. did anyone see the alternative endings? nope. but heard about them. | ||||||
| 197 | tastethewaste ID: 514342313 Fri, May 30, 2008, 11:22 | Excitement and suspense are not the same. Sure, I still watch the Mike Tyson/Buster Douglas because it makes me smile and I still get excited watching it. but there is no suspense as I know the outcome, Tyson down in the 10th! | ||||||

My F'n DirecTV locals all just died 15 minutes ago...during freaking LOST... We had the same problem, only different. Our VCR (I know, I know...) went nuts and we only got the last 45 minutes. Trade ya' mine for yours. ; ) And when Sun confronted Whitmore she didn't appear pregnant anymore. The phone call she took was from her Mom. Her mom put a little kid on the phone briefly; she already had the baby. | ||||||

a theory i'm working on. i'm not sure exactly what my conclusion is, but i believe that Charlotte Lewis, Emily Linus (Ben's mother), and Annie (Ben's friend on the island when he was a child) are all related or, the same person, just in different incarnations. first of all - the literary link, which Lost seems fond of. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne were the names of the well known Bronte sisters, who between them wrote several well known novels. second of all - the similarities in their looks. it's actually quite astounding. Emily Charlotte Annie nothing in this show is a coincidence. | ||||||
| 201 | boikin ID: 532592112 Fri, May 30, 2008, 12:33 |
good investigation there tree, and we know that it is atleast hinted at that charlotte has been to the island before. do we have any idea what happened to the people on the inflatable boat when the island disappeared. did they disappear with it? | ||||||
| 202 | tastethewaste ID: 514342313 Fri, May 30, 2008, 13:01 |
Last we saw they watched the island disappear. We know they dont get back to the mainland since over the next 3-4 years there is no mention of more oceanic survivors returning. Gotta think Farraday is not dead, he seems too important a character. Maybe know he will re check his notebook and somehow call on desmond to help him out since he is his constant. His notebook says if anything goes wrong desmond hume will be my constant. Nice catch tree on the sisters. I sometimes think the writers are just being pretentious when coming up with names for their characters (its not as if the french woman had philosopher Rousseau's name for any reason) but this theory really seems plausible. Though wouldnt that mean Ben had a crush on his aunt? | ||||||

Last we saw they watched the island disappear. We know they dont get back to the mainland since over the next 3-4 years there is no mention of more oceanic survivors returning. Gotta think Farraday is not dead, he seems too important a character. not exactly true. at the very least, we know Faraday gets back to the mainland. we already saw him on the mainland, sobbing uncontrollably at the news report regarding the discovery of the crash site of Flight 815. he KNEW the island was moving by how he was acting with Juliet. he knew he wouldn't be back on the island to pick her up. (its not as if the french woman had philosopher Rousseau's name for any reason) actually, i'm going to disagree with you here again. Rousseau the philosopher had a belief that man was good when alone with only nature, but was corrupted by society. Rousseau the Lost character saw her friends all die/disappear, then, for more than 15 years, chose to live alone than live with the society she saw as corrupted (the Others). i think her name, along with all the other names that have real life connections, are not accidents or instances of simply being clever. | ||||||
| 205 | tastethewaste ID: 911431318 Fri, May 30, 2008, 17:39 |

| 206 | Species Dude ID: 07724916 Fri, May 30, 2008, 19:07 | I agree with ttw. Frank saw the bogus report too and disagreed because he saw the pilot. I think those flashforwards when we saw the scenes with the 5 from the freighter (Naomi, Frank, Miles, Charlotte and Daniel) were between the original crash and before the Oceanic 6 were rescued. | ||||||
| 207 | Tree ID: 324393019 Fri, May 30, 2008, 20:47 |
i stand corrected. in fact, i knew Faraday on the mainland was prior to his time on the Kahana, but i confused myself. i had it in my mind that he was kind of stuck in a groundhog day scenario, so i ended up just confusing myself. | ||||||

Michael not happy with writers I actually have to agree with Harold, its a bad stereotype that black men are not there for their children. In season 2 he would do anything for Walt, but this season he was selfish and didnt care. I also felt his character this season was a waste of time. | ||||||
| 209 | C1-NRB ID: 551212915 Fri, May 30, 2008, 22:19 |
I actually have to agree with Harold, its a bad stereotype that black men are not there for their children. In season 2 he would do anything for Walt, but this season he was selfish and didnt care. They could've handled this better by having the Others- Tom, Richard, whoever- "convince" Michael by threatening Walt. I was never comfortable with why Walt wouldn't have anything to do with him once they got back. I also felt his character this season was a waste of time. I don't think so. Since Michael and Walt had left the island, someone had to be an example of the far-reaching power Ben and the Others have over, well, pretty much everything and everybody associated with the island. By sending Michael back the writers have shown that what Ben wants, Ben gets. It established the power and influence that he has over anyone that he's ever been in contact with no matter how far removed they become. | ||||||
| 210 | Tree ID: 324393019 Fri, May 30, 2008, 22:33 |
In season 2 he would do anything for Walt, but this season he was selfish and didnt care. wait. what? remember, it was Walt who wouldn't even see his own dad this season. and Michael was hardly selfish - he sacrificed his life for others! | ||||||
| 211 | tastethewaste ID: 911431318 Fri, May 30, 2008, 22:36 |
well he wasnt that far removed, what had it been 2-3 weeks? Michael was told he couldnt die, he had work to do. He was told by Ben he was to kill everyone on the boat, well everyone but the innocent people. This would work as some sort of redemption for killing Ana Lucia and Libby. Yet in the long run, Michael held out just long enough to not kill any freighter people and really only ended up killing more losties indirectly. He also indirectly aided the Oceanic 6 off the island to a life of pain and misery (with the exception of Kate and Aaron), the same oceanic 6 that allegedly the island wants back anyway. He also tried to kill himself about 6 times and finally got his wish leaving Walt parentless and never reconciling with the person he cared for the most. So what exactly did Michael do to redeem himself? We knew Michael was a good person who would do anything for his son. Now, he was just a person who wanted to die and was only thinking of himself. | ||||||
| 212 | tastethewaste ID: 911431318 Fri, May 30, 2008, 22:40 |
yes tree, a 10 year old boy was upset that his father was a killer and was maybe scared for the time being. Trying to kill yourself is not the correct solution in that situation. It certainly isnt redeeming in any way. He sacrificed his life for others because as he stated "I came here to die." Thats also hardly redeeming. | ||||||

Charlotte left the island sometime thereafter - within the first two years of her life. i haven't figured out why, or how, but i think it's akin to why Aaron should not be going back to the island. as a result of Charlotte leaving, Ben took Alex Rousseau, and made her his daughter. | ||||||

Finally back from vacation. Here's a few thoughts: The Lost season 4 finale was a bit like the preparation for a game of chess. All the pieces were placed on the board, the rules were agreed upon, but the opening gambit has yet to begin. There weren't nearly as many answers as you may think there were (unless you wanted to know more about time traveling bunnies). LOL Yes, we found out who's in the coffin, but think for a second about how season 3 and season 4 ended. Season 3 left us with Jack needing to go back to the Island. Season 4 ended with…Jack needing to go back to the Island, with everyone else. While the story on the Island may have progressed, the story off the Island is still where we left it, just with some missing pieces filled in. The chess pieces were already on the board, season 4 just spent 14 episodes fidgeting with them, making sure every piece was perfectly in the center of the square. I ask you to think about all the set-ups in the finale. Sun met with Charles Widmore, though it was just to set up the real meeting. Charlotte suddenly became interesting when Miles (in a scene proving Ken Leung was tragically underused as comic relief this season) let it slip that she is more connected to the Island than we first thought. Locke was installed as the new leader of the Others, Daniel and many 815ers were seemingly left on the Zodiac halfway between the sunken freighter and the vanished Island, Sawyer and Juliet were getting drunk, Sawyer pulled a Lost in Translation ending with Kate, and Jin was lost at sea after an explosion on a boat…just like at the end of the first season. Where season 5 will begin, I have no idea. Will we follow the Oceanic 6 off the Island and the adventures of Locke and Sawyer on the Island? What would be the point of spending an entire season showing us the bad things Locke apparently described to Jack when we already know the outcome? Sadly, I suspect this is what we're in store for, and that in one year's time, the big final reveal in the season 5 finale will be the Oceanic 6 (and the corpse of John Locke) returning to the Island. I’ve often said there’s nothing more useless than a Philosophy major (which is why I only have a minor). But when it comes to Lost, viewers who know their philosophers have a distinct advantage. In the opening scene of the finale, we learned that the man in the coffin was Jeremy Bentham. Though it took me about 15 minutes to make the connection, the Philosophy majors most likely identified that name immediately as belonging to the famous utilitarian philosopher. The historic Jeremy Bentham was a proponent of the greater good, someone who believed the ends justified the means. Combine this love for ignoring individual liberties in favor of the bigger picture with the knowledge that the character was named directly after a famous philosopher and you quickly realize that if you only majored in Philosophy in college, you would have known long before that final scene that John Locke was in the coffin. Sometimes the Lost writers and producers do something so clever that it makes me laugh, even if it’s not funny. Such was the case with the scene in the finale when Sayid murdered the man lurking outside Hurley’s asylum. Sayid asked the man what time it was, and his response was, “Eight fift…” He didn’t get to finish because of the bullet in his head, but we got it, and it was pretty clever. Upon arriving at the real Orchid Station, John Locke takes one look at the Vault and asks if it’s the “magic box.” This is a nice and rather funny callback to Ben’s statement in the third season that the Island has a magic box that can produce whatever you want. Ben’s flat denial that the Vault is the magic box sort of implied (to me at least) that the magic box is actually real, in some way, shape or form. I know that the creators have stated the box is a metaphor, but I suspect there’s still more to the metaphor than just what we’ve seen. While I wasn’t a huge fan of the episode, I do appreciate that the Lost writers don’t entirely look down on their audience. As soon as Ben said he was putting on a jacket because he was going some place cold, every diehard Lost fan immediately knew he was putting on the Edgar Halliwax parka he was wearing when he landed in the Sahara Desert in “The Shape of Things to Come.” Cutting his arm on the way down the stairs was a nice touch. The show didn’t need to put in a flashback (or flash forward) to that episode to remind viewers what was happening, they respected us enough to figure it out. Also, this might have larger implications regarding the location of the island. We saw it vanish (or “move”), but to where? To answer that, let’s look at Ben’s time travel. The actions on the island take place around the end of December 2004. Then Ben pushed the donkey wheel, let out the glowing yellow light and caused what I will assume was something like a Casimir Effect. That jumped him to the Sahara Desert, where he learned the date was October 25, 2005. Ben time traveled nearly 10 months, so maybe the island did as well, which might help to explain why it vanished. In Kate’s freaky dream sequence, she received a garbled phone call. Well, not garbled so much as a clear cut message. When played backwards, the message says, “The Island needs you. You have to go back before it’s too late.” This would seem to contradict what creepy dream Claire said about not wanting Aaron to go back. Given everything we’ve seen of Kate on the Island, the biggest question is why she’s important. She never really had any big connection to the Island, so it’s unclear what role she plays or what “too late” means. Though the episode sadly didn’t feature an appearance by Adewale Akkinuoye-Agbaje (though it’s possible that was him playing Giant Walt), Mr. Eko was invoked, as Hurley decided to play a little chess with the deceased priest/drug kingpin. The mere fact that Mr. Eko was referenced isn’t particularly noteworthy, but it might be if you look at the entirety of season 4. In the first episode of the season, Hurley ran into Ana Lucia’s partner after he was arrested.In the mid-season cliffhanger “Meet Kevin Johnson,” Michael had several run-ins with an imaginary Libby. Now the season ends with an Eko shout out. So not only did we get references to all three series regular Tailies, but they were referenced in the order of their deaths. Is this a coincidence, or something bigger? Does it possibly mean that next season we’ll hear about Nikki and Paulo or Boone and Shannon? Ok, tree, et al...it's time for you to take my thoughts/theories apart. I know Season 4 was absolutely critical in order for us to know more of the future of this great show, but was Season 4 the best we've seen. I think not! For all the hubbub it created, the interesting interaction between the pivotal role players and for its setup of science v fate; right v wrong; black v white; physics v reality, etc., I propose that Season 1 is still the highlight of any of the four seasons...thus far. I can only hope that the Lost writers and producers end this amazing show with the finality and integrity it deserves and doesn't morph into some idiotic soap-opera ending that will leave us grasping at straws and throwing our newly paid for plasma screens out of our 43rd story windows. | ||||||

I had to re-read this whole thread to catch up on what I may have missed in season four. I can't believe nobody commented on Mike D's last comments. Personally, I loved season four and although I have no idea what is really meant by things such as "Casmir effect" and "wormholes", etc., I try my best to suspend disbelief just enough to be entertained. Now, I do have two questions: 1) What is the point that Risk and Backgammon are mentioned so much? and 2) Why can't Ben, Widmore, Michael, Locke, Richard, etc. die? | ||||||
