Lost Fans?

[SPfloppy]

Anybody in here watch lost? I know there are crazy blogs and sites for the show but if I go to em I am in over my head. Discuss here.What are they gonna do to Jack, Sawyer and Freckles?

[BroncoBuff]

The season finale was really wonderously - phenomenally - creative and entertaining ... after I was beginningh to think the show had started to lose much of its creative edge.

Looks like the cast won't be limited to "the Others" in future seasons, now we have the pair of wild and crazy Antarctic Russians (and be honest - when they cut to them - you thought it was a commercial, right?), and their contact with Desmond's ever-faithful billionaire-heiress lovely.

When Desmond whipped out those printouts, asked the date and time of the crash, and then said "I think I caused your plane to crash," the hair stood up on my neck. I don't think that's ever happened on a mere TV show.

I don't know what's gonna happen to those three, but I will venture this: ANY guess is a shot in the dark, as the writers have proven predictions to be pointless in this series.

Here's my bet: I'll bet "the Others" are far more advanced than they're letting on (the fake beard was to make the Oceanic survivors think them savages), and we'll determine that their "job", or what the Others think is their job, is to scare the Oceanic bunch and determine (for Hanso's Dharma Prooject) how far people will go when pushed to the brink. Remember - the Others haven't killed anybody yet! Annalucia killed the first two guys on the island trek, and Michael himself killed the two girls a few weeks ago.

[phisig150]

I think the others where the "original" band of surviors on the island. They kidnapped Jack and the rest to ransom with the Hanso Foundation to get off the island.

[Rohirrim]

Okay, now they say that Oceanic Flight 515 (or whatever it is) was found in a sea floor trench off the coast of Bali (or somewhere) 4,000 feet down, and that all the bodies were found intact in the plane.

So, is this island Hell? Purgatory? How would they know there are bodies in the plane? Did they send down a robot or something? Are the Others servants of Satan? Is Ben the Devil? Is the secret contained in some of the words? Dharma? Hanso? Why did Locke refuse to whack his pops? Does he know something we don't know? Why did the black cloud whack Eko, but it hasn't attacked anybody else? What's going on?

Oh, BTW - http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/0...eut/index.html

I don't think so! The writers have always stated that this show was never based on science fiction. But, it was one of the theories that had been tossed around extensively on thefuselage.com and I've seen in past episodes that they've incorporated ideas from the fans into the show. I still believe this is some sort of cover up experamental thing.

I'm glad to see that they've finally gotten back to the excitement that this show started with. After the hiatis over the holidays, I was really questioning whether I'd continue to watch as the show was becoming "boring".

I've read some exciting spoilers about the last few episodes...but, spoiler tags don't work on this board, so I'll refrain from saying much.

[Rohirrim]

I'm completely befuddled. And whatever happened to Michael and Walt? Are they out tooling around in the ocean? And how did that dark haired guy, Richard get on the island? He's the one who's the dead ringer for Antony Perkins (of Psycho fame). Last we saw of him, he was talking Juliette into going to the island. Did he go with her on the sub? And now the Others are wandering around like they're on safari. Ben said they were "going to another place" and Locke could only come if he was carrying his father's dead body. What's that all about? I'm befuddled.

Well, it seems that they have eluded to a company that does experimental testing. The company was based out of Portland and it seems as though they drugged Julliette and took her to the island. I would also assume that the 'others' are also part of this 'testing'. The main location in Portland probably has contact with those on the island.

The other observation is the Dharma project (Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications Initiative) was a former test that was being done on the island as well. There was a conversation that took place several episodes early with 'eye patch guy' that eluded to the idea of a run in between the others and the Dharma Initiative people.

I have to wonder if, after the plane went down (whether designed by "the others" or not) that they had the means to cover up the crash and give out word that there were no survivors in order to keep any possible idea of search and rescue from coming near the islands (since there are actually TWO islands) in fear of the rest of the world discoving it.

Check out thefuselage.com. There are some great theories over there as well.

That's an excellent point, re the coverup. Given the technology they've exhibited, I imagine they could plant a plane in an abyssal trench without too much trouble. So, what do you think the French woman is going to do with the TNT?

I haven´t watched many of the post holidays episodes yet and I will probably watch them in one go when the season is over ... ABC today set an end date for Lost and that´s Season 6. So Lost gets 3 more seasons, but they´ll only be 16 episodes each instead of the usual 24-25 of Seasons 1-3.

Good to know. The writers have always maintained they already have an ending (that was something they discussed in season one) and they've always said they would probably go only 6-7 seasons. This season has definitely gotten very interesting!

Not sure what she will do. It could be that she will use it for some of her traps, or she's ready to go and get her daughter. I'm interested to see if Jack is in on the whole thing with Julliette and if he knows the plan about coming to take some of the survivors.

Yeah. I never liked Jack. Too pompous for me. That Juliette is a real snake. I can't figure out what Locke's angle is either. Oh well. I guess that's why I keep watching. I wonder if Charlie is going to get whacked, keeping with Desmond's prophecy?

[BroncoBuff]

The storylines have finally taken off the last few weeks. I'll give them a mulligan on the later episodes last season, because they had to kill off a couple female cast members unexpectedly. Real life intruded, I get it.

But they finished last season pretty strong: disruption of the magnetic field under the hatch, Desmond's computer printouts showing he had caused the airliner to crash, and Penelope's crazy Russian Arctic dwellers picking up on the magnetic disruption. And now finally - with 'The Others' hiking off to parts unknown and Jack and Juliette coming back to the beach - we're back on track.



QUESTIONS:

Is anybody on board with the "Sixth Sense" plot line? Do we see dead people? It can't be 'hell' in the traditional sense, but is the Island some kind of purgatory?

Is there a chance Juliette's secret spy mission is known to Jack? We've seen her hiding it from the rest of them, but has she hidden it from Jack? After all, last week's sneak previews were deliciously ominous: Jack and Juliete ask each other, "should we tell them?" "No, not yet."

Why don't the survivors MOVE THEIR CAMP to the buildings/houses abandoned by 'The Others'? After all, everybody thinks they're gone for good - and yet the survivors aparently prefer palm-frond tents?! C'mon ... I realize we suspend our instintive reactions to watch LOST (nobody ever asks 'why are you being so mean to us?'), but those are very nice houses and buildings sitting empty across the bay ... even a child would suggest moving in.

[BroncoBuff]

The actor who plays Sawyer is remarkable. He has 'movie career' written all over him.

FYI - I saw him on "The View" last summer, and he's a goofy bastage in real life A lot like BroncoBuff!


Terry O'Quinn (Locke) is also an excellent actor. He and Sawyer are powerful onscreen together, like last week.

That's the reason I don't like Jack much. He's not much of an actor.

I am not of this frame of mind as the writers of the show have always maintained since season one that there is a perfectly logical explanation to everything that takes place. I just think that would be a HUGE letdown to finish the entire show with.

I was wondering the same thing. But, part of me feels that Jack is clueless. He may have a little bit of information, but I really believe that Julliette is pulling the wool over his eyes as well. b****! Ok, so maybe I just want Jack to be innocent in the whole thing.

I was wondering about that myself. It may be that they still feel that if they move away from the beach they would be rescued? That one is a little odd.

Sawyer cracks me up. I enjoy listening to all of his nick names for people.

How is it that Hurley does not lose any weight... oh that's right they wrote in the part about the food stash. I like Hurley also.

So what ever happened to the map Locke found in the original underground containment area. Is there any remaining significance to it?

[smalltowngrll]

I just watched Wednesday's episode and it's getting verrrry interesting!!!

I thought of the whole Biblical reference after hearing the name 'Jacob' come up. Jacob had 12 children who later became the 12 tribes of Isreal. He had two wives, Rachael and Leah. Rachael was the one that Jacob loved and adored; he waited many years for her hand in marriage and was only given that after he was made to marry Leah. Rachael was barren but God let Rachael have 2 children. Leah had the other 10. Rachael's children were Joseph (the one Jacob loved most, ie the coat of many colors, later given to slavery by his brothers) and Benjamin who was the child that Rachael died giving birth to. (light bulb moment )

I have to wonder if Ben is really calling the shots (he's wayyyy to crafty and manipulative and he's very good with the mind games). I also wonder if Jacob was once the leader and Ben has him held captive there in some manner. (Maybe Jacob is Ben's REAL father??) I also wonder if the "monster" has something to do with what happened in that house when Locke shined the flash light. I wonder if it has something to do with the electrical power of the flashlight that caused all hell to break loose. I do think there is probably a logical and scientific explanation to why Locke could not see Jacob but did hear the words "Help Me!". Did you see the look on Ben's face when Locke told him what he heard? Why would Jacob say "Help Me" if he didn't need the help? Incidently, there is a picture of a shadowed man that was sitting in the chair...it's referenced on some of the Lost fan websites.

On another note, I don't think that Locke is dead. The island has a fancy for healing him. And, I think it would dissappoint too many people. But I was under the impression that there were going to be several deaths prior to the season finale. So, I do wonder just who will die next week. Oh, this is getting sooooo exciting!!

[Rohirrim]

There was an old man in that chair. We download the episodes to watch on Friday nights. We stopped it at that moment when Locke is staring at the chair. For one frame there is this old, white haired man sitting in the chair. I agree, Locke can't die. Getting really weird.

[smalltowngrll]

Yup....here's the video...



And screen shot:

[BroncoBuff]

I don't care much for the invisible whirlwind 'Wizard of Oz' character. That freeze-frame looks like Jesus actually, but it hasn't spurred my curiosity much.

I really like the idea that Juliette's gonna betray Ben and the Others - and I eagerly await the cunning trap they're gonna set for them. I hope Sayid leads the planning and execution of the trap. And of course the interrogation of the eventual prisoners ... duh.

Why do I get the impression that the interrogation techniques that Sayid employes fascinat you?!

[NYBronco]

No, Locke is not dead. He will heal fast... I remember in a recent episode Locke cut his hand and it healed quickly.

What was the powder Locke found on the ground near Jacob's cabin? It seemed to circle the cabin... gun powder?

Also, remember the eye patch Russian? He was dead as a door nail when he got zapped by that perimeter force field. Yeah. I wonder what that powder was? Obviously, it's more of that psycho Ben's doing. Speaking of Psycho, anybody else notice how much that actor who plays Richard looks like Anthony Perkins?

[NYBronco]

That fence force field held back the "black cloud". So the "black cloud" couldn't go over the top of the fence?

[NYBronco]

I believe the "black cloud" took ahold of Echo and threw him around the jungle before it dropped him from the tree tops and eventually killing him. So why couldn't the "black cloud" go over the fence? Surely it came drop a tree on one of the fence posts and float over.

Who was the patch eyed Russian running from when he encountered Sawyer, Syed and Hurley attending to the injured parachute woman?

The only place they were able to go over the 'electrical fence' was directly over the pylons...so, I wonder if it just didn't know? Or couldn't fit?

Yes, interesting that Mr. Patch was running from someone...not sure who. Maybe the 'monstor'?

Maybe the island has the same sort of healing powers with Mr. Patch as it does with Locke and maybe that is why he had an arrangement made with the others...because they were unable to kill him?
