Television Lost: The Final Season

Well...meh....I thought the off island stuff was far better than the on island stuff, which was just more ridiculous
pssschhh, wasn't doing it for me....silly geeky wank balls. The off island stuff was good character stuff though, especially the last bit
Oh look, here are some more random new other others that are vaguely mysterious but we've never heard about for no reason at all other than we need some new shit to happen now...Oh and a kung fu monk type character...Cooooooool!!!...if you're 15

Good shout that, was an element of the episode I kinda forgot about by the end.
Overall thought the episode was quite good, if a little underwhelming. Obviously with the structure change there was a need to set up the rest of the series and that worked against it a little. But enjoyable, a few questions answered and a whole load of new ones. Typical Lost!
Still reading that but agree with the bit about Jack, there was something...off about him. The way he reacted to the turbulence was weird.
Hardly, we've heard about them loads. They're the ones who took the passengers in season 1, and did loads of crazy shit throughout. The Oceanic survivors just assumed that Dharma were the others, but they confirmed themselves that they weren't and there were 'others'
There's a lot of gayism in this thread - just sit back and enjoy the last season of an incredible TV show instead of cock-sniping the whole episode
I actually preferred the on island stuff, the off island stuff i found was boring and incredibly predictable.
Oh you mean the crew of the Black Rock, who have been taking people from series 1 and explains why when the kids and other people were taken by the voices you never saw them again even when we got to know the others group well.
Am I the only one who really don't care about any of the main characters anymore? I wouldn't feel too down if any of them happened to die, except Desmond though of course.
I stopped caring when they killed of Ecko. He was undoubtedly the best character in the show.
Good two episodes to start with...although didn't the second one end rather abruptly?
Good to see Desmond, cos he's the man (in Lost anyway)

Spoilers regarding the first 2 episodes. Maybe we need to set some policy where if it is spoilers about episodes that haven't aired in the UK or America we put a comment saying so otherwise not?
Decent episode I thought, nothing brilliant but two good solid episodes.
I did like the absolute look of horror on Richard's face when he saw that signal from the Temple and then the look on his face when that Locke said it was good to see him out of his chains. Am really interested to see the back story on him and Jacob, really cool seeing Jacob there. Almost like he has known for a long time that the other guy would find a loop hole and how he had to get the right people in and prepare them accordingly. Like giving Hurley the ability to communicate with dead people, I'm guessing that way if they are headed down the wrong path he can communicate to them via Hurley. I wonder how that guy is stuck on the island if he is telling Ben he wants to go home, where exactly is home and why can't he get there? I wonder what his role is on the island, is he the security system of the Island and judges people whether they are right or wrong or was that all apart of his master plan to kill Jacob?
Am I the only one who thought this part was hilarious?
Ben: "You're the monster"
Locke: "Lets not resort to name calling"

When people are using spoilers are you referring to the current episodes that have already been released or future episode spoilers.
Or should i just refrain from opening any kind of spoiler tags ?

All spoilers so far have been about the past two eps. If someone is mentioning a future episode spoiler then I'd hope they would state that above the spoiler. Otherwise it's safe to assume all spoilers about the most recent eps
has thwe final series started yet ?
what days ?
what days ?
Yeah but we're all lost geeks and have downloaded the episodes off the internet.. I'm not sure when they air on TV in the UK to be honest.
They aired in the US on Tuesday.
It airs tomorrow in the UK
Loved the episodes. Can't wait for next week.
My thoughts:
- I liked the two timelines. Not only does kate look very fine in the safe-journey one, but it has an eerie sense of inevitability that something cool will happen. The timelines will have to merge at some point, not sure how though.
- Fakelocke = smoke monster ?
- Sayid. The main temple bloke said it was very bad for him to die. Part of me thinks that fakelock will assume his body in order to get inside the temple, but this doesn't make sense for two reasons: 1) Locke's body is still around so he might not take Sayid's actual body; 2) Why would Jacob risk telling Hurley to take Sayid there? etc. But I seriously doubt Sayid will be alive and well and things will carry on as normal.
- Kate is fit.
- Juliet died. Oh no... But anyway, "It worked"? Maybe being half-dead allowed her to realise that the other timeline is in existence, i.e. it worked in a sense. Also note that (as we're currently watching) the safe-journey timeline is several months out of wack from the island timeline, leaving plenty of time for something to happen in the real world.
- Locke didn't go on the walkabout, he was just lying to Boone.
- Chains? Dunno.
- The whole volcanic ash thing excites me. I've predicted since season 1 that the programme will end with a volcanic eruption. Not sure if this is related, but why was the island underwater? Did it move? An atomic blast surely wouldn't be able to sink an island... maybe it triggered a volcano (haha). It was strange though how a lot of the island's features were in tact.
- Desmond. wtf? WHY WAS HE THERE? Just to be sure, Desmond and Jack had met each other years before, and Jacks deja vu was actually from then, not some weird island-timeline-meltthrough.
- The island spring - healing powers (even if Sayid isn't properly healed). I suppose this explains part of the island and many occurances (e.g. Locke able to walk).
-erm

But
In this timeline we are to assume the island sunk in 1977, Widmore was on the island in 1977 which means he would have died. Meaning there is no Penny or Widmore and no reason for him to take part in the sailing race around the world. Meaning he did not need to be training, so he would have never met Jack.

Anyone wondering why Shannon wasn't on the plane this time? Or am I missing something.
Maggie Grace wanted to come back but couldn't because of scheduling conflicts, so they had to write her out of it.
Personally I think
that the ending of the show will be this beginning. With the Island sinking after an epic battle and them all returning to life as normal after fulfilling their purpose a la Narnia, only with no recollection of it. This side flash thing will continue to show what their lives after the battle will be like, whilst not having to do an "and here's what happened to them later" epilogue. Instead they run the epilogue along with the main plot so as to satisfy that particular itch only revealing it's an epilogue at the end. Could work. Doesn't make sense, but meh, nothing does on Lost really
Lost Being Scientific > Lost being Supernatural
I'd like to think so too Bumdogg, but I think we're long past that point now
He had to inhabit the body of a bloke with man boobs.
Also how good was Terry O'Quinn in this episode. Completely different from Locke, he has something really creepy and assured about him.
Richard Alpert
Was a Harvard researcher who changed his name to Baba Ram Dass which means 'servant of god'

So what are the theories on the fertility issue then since it seems to be an important part of the plot?

Yea, seems that way now.
I am pretty sure that the two "realities" will meet. They are pulling off a very amateur interpretation of string theory. The bomb did create a big ripple in time but eventually the two threads will end up meeting.
The Giant statue (for toe foot thing) that jacob ived in, is of Taweret. An egyptian goddess who protected pregnant women. Now as the statue has been destroyed i imagine that explains why they can't have children on the island. Aso the Ankh is a symbol of fertility as well.
Sorry BD but when has Lost ever been scientific?
Also I reckon the black shirt (evil Locke, smoke monster) guy is called Esau.
Definitely...his last scene just made me think "thank god they've got this actor to play this character"..
..and by this character, I mean the darkside
...cos lets face it, they've destroyed the character of John Locke...though his talk with Jack at the end, as Locke, was actually my favorite scene by far

Shit Theory
to be honest, I'll stick to end to see how they do it, but it would be a crappy end for me if thats how it plays out.....far too much deus ex machina supernatural cop outs
hmmm...shame. And there was me thinking they'd actually done really well thus far without getting too stupid
So I stuck with you through the visions, I stuck with you through the electromagnatism and the valzetti equasion nonsense, I stuck with you through the time travel and the smoke moster magically resurrecting the dead and you're gonna end it with parallel universes?....Psschhhh. It'd be disappointing to say the least. So I hope that isn't the case
You should be sorry you dick.
When I say science, i mean i liked the idea of lost being able to be explained scientifically rather than supernaturally. It kind of went out the window in the second ever episode though.
Anyone else wanted to take a dip in that Temple healing pool? Looked like a great jacuzzi.
It looked like Dr.Pepper
Like many on here, I thought the new episodes were...meh...average...
TV is dying...
Thank god for House, The Wire and Dexter!

Oh yeah and...
Sayid is now Jacob.....possibly. All that candidate stuff from last season. It'd make more sense to be Jack though eventually....
Hmm, could make sense.
smokey wants to get in temple > tells Hurley to take Sayid > Sayid dies in temple > smokey gets in temple through Sayid.
It's a longish shot, but not impossible.
