I absolutely love this show, but it's also frustrating to watch b/c every week I tune in to get answers, yet I just get more questions.

1) What exactly was going on when the button wasn't pushed? What was that white light? And why did the Others seem as defenseless against it as the survivors did?

2) What was up with that ending? Who were those guys? Why are they in the middle of Siberia? Why are they monitoring what happens on the island which is obviously thousands of miles away? And why are they to call Desmond's girlfriend when something goes wrong with on the island with the button pushing?

3) Will Michael really leave everyone behind? Why is it so easy to leave the island but apparently impossible to get back (according to Henry)?

4) How did Henry rise to the level of apparently being the leader of the Others?

Those are just some of the questions I have. I liked tonight's episode, but I was hoping there would be some more questions answered...

1 - Discharge - EMP?
2 - Penny's looking for Desmond - these are her hired honchos.
Also look carefully at these - man in the background on the left any relation to our constant hero on the right?

3 - Will he? Maybe, but who says it is easy to leave? Henry, who isn't exactly a member of the truth teller club, so I wouldn't be surprised if Walt ends up playing his party tricks back on the Island next year.
4 - And what if always was in that position?

Gotta feel for those guys that filled notebooks and sent them on their way in the pneumatic tubes for years. At least the button pushers were preventing the electromagnetic problem.

I would have used Desmond's sailboat to try to leave the island and get help, rather than sail around it to participate in Michael's quest for Walt. Even knowing that Desmond's attempt to sail away had failed.

Last nights episode was great....too bad we have to wait 4 months until we get answers to what happened at the hatch when Desmond turned the key.

The guys at the end were not Russian. They were speaking Portuguese. My guess is they were in Antarctica and are Brazilian.

What was up with the foot of the giant statue? What is it doing there? Why did it have only 4 toes--unless it was made in honor of Fred Flintsone?

Perhaps the reason Desmond could not get away from the island by sailing west is because the electromagnetic source under the Swan station was giving out a false compass reading. What if a compass pointed to it as north instead of the true pole? In that case, wouldn't going west cause you to simply go in circles? If this is the case, the perhaps the 325 heading Michael was told to take to leave the island will no longer be valid and he'll end up somewhere else....like back on the island!

What was up with Charlie when he returned to the beach? Why was he making light of the situation he just survived at the hatch? Personally, I don't think the hatch exploded, but that an electric pulse was given off that reversed and neutralized the polarity of the source (hence causing the hatch lid to fly into the air and land on the beach). If this is the case, can we expect Locke, Ecko, and even Desmond to still be alive? Wouldn't make much sense to introduce the search for Desmond by Peg at this point if he just died.

While I agree it was probably an EMP and that Locke Ecko and probably even Desmond aren't dead, even if they are Pen (I think it's Pen not Peg) won't know Desmond is dead and would still look for him.

That's a great point re: Michael's instructions to head 325... that was when the magnetic anomoly was in place, and I'm quite sure Henry told him that before the EMP... so, 325 is likely not a valid instruction anymore... I don't know if it would bring him right back to the island, but that would make sense to me (as a matter of story line)

If Desmond turning the key shutdown the electromagnet (which is what i was figuring), compasses should be functional now. Also, if the magnet is shutdown, will that eliminate the healing properties of the island? I suspect it would, which could have some interesting implications for Rose and Sun, among others.

Hmmm, side note.....how is it that the electromagnet grows stronger very gradually (so gradually that no one notices an increase in magnetism) for 108 minutes and then goes apeshit over the next 2 minutes?

NEW YORK (AP) -- As promised, "Lost" viewers were left with plenty to ponder but juicy answers to savor as well, thanks to Wednesday's season finale of the ABC mystical adventure series.
Go no further if you don't want to know what happened (or may have happened).
Roughly two months -- or, more accurately, two TV seasons in real time -- after Oceanic Flight 815 crash-landed by this lost tropical island, viewers learned:
<table id="cnnArticleWireFrame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="770"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td id="cnnArticleContent">The sailboat seen at the end of last week's episode belonged to Desmond, who had been found at the start of this season in the hatch when the castaways first made their entrance. Grateful to hand to someone else the weird computer-entry task, Desmond ran away -- and set sail in the boat he had arrived in years earlier. But after 2 1/2 weeks on the water, he had gotten nowhere. "There's no outside world, there's no escape," he wailed, drunk and despondent, when the castaways retrieved him from the sailboat just offshore.
What may have caused the jetliner's crash: an excessive buildup of electromagnetic energy that Desmond, as the hatch's occupant at the time, failed to properly diffuse.
Why that numbered sequence (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) needed to be entered on the keyboard every 108 minutes: To diffuse the powerful buildup safely. So the audience learned that the button really did need to be pushed, and wasn't a meaningless exercise after all, which became a season-long issue that on the finale fueled a raging argument between Locke (the disillusioned former believer) and Mr. Eko (the fiercely loyal convert to the button-pushing cause). After an explosion in the hatch, they were both unaccounted for.
Finally, Michael seemed to prove without a doubt that he would sell out his friends to save himself and his son, Walt, who was kidnapped at the end of last season by the Others.
After having been brainwashed by the Others, Michael had gunned down fellow castaways Ana Lucia and Libby a few episodes ago to facilitate the escape of Henry, an "Other" from across the island whom the castaways had been holding captive.
Then -- despite the best efforts of Jack and Sayid to outmaneuver him -- Michael made good on his plan to deliver Jack, Hurley, Sawyer and Kate to the Others in exchange for getting Walt back.
Hurley was released by the Others with an order to return to camp and warn the rest of the castaways against retaliating.
"But what about my friends?" Hurley protested.
"Your friends are coming home with us," said Henry, the Other who had been held in the hatch.
While Jack, Sawyer and Kate looked on, bound and gagged, Michael and Walt were given a motor boat to make their safe escape.
"My hunch is, you won't say a word to anybody," Henry told Michael as he sent him on his way, "because if you do, people will find out what you did to get your son back."
"Who ARE you people?" asked Michael, voicing the question that has plagued "Lost" viewers all season.
"We're the good guys, Michael," Henry said simply.
Disinclined to argue and at last reunited with Walt, Michael piloted his boat to apparent freedom.
Hoods were pulled over the heads of Jack, Sawyer and Kate. Their safety while in the Others' custody was assured by Henry. But viewers will have to wait until fall to see. (Watch how "Lost" is casting its web far and wide -- 2:02)

I don't know about that one. It seems to me that there's no telling what Michael would have done if they didn't go along with him--we all saw that he was willing to kill in order to further his instructions. Then again, I suppose several of the survivors could have subdued him long enough to throw him in the place where they were keeping Henry.

I have no idea what that statue of the giant's foot was. I'm thinking it has something to do with the Others.

I'm so sick of Charlie's character on the show. At first, he was always screwing things up b/c he's prone to make mistakes and he always wanted to "help." Now it seems that he has turned into this self-serving jerk who has no regard for anyone else on the island. What really ticks me off is that he somehow has weasled his way back into the good graces of Claire, who I think is the hottest woman on the island.

My question regarding the magnet is why didn't Desmond just disable it earlier? I would've done so if I were trapped on the island rather than enter that code every 108 minutes.

Before Locke showed up bangin on the hatch, Desmond was getting ready to do just that... and he had been alone there for only a short time, having killed Kelvin well after the plane crashed.

Coming Next Season Love on Lost

Next Season's Lost Sneaked

Producers of ABC's hit series Lost, which aired its surprising second-season finale on May 24, told SCI FI Wire that it sets up the upcoming third season, which will focus more on romance—and on the mysterious Others. "The Others are an important part of season three, and there's a lot of mysteries and a lot of questions about the Others that the audience is going to be curious about going into season three," said executive producer Carlton Cuse in an interview. "And those are the things we're going to explore."

Cuse added: "There will definitely be some new characters on the show next year. ... Obviously, Michael Emerson, who plays Henry Gale, he's someone who's going to be very prominent in the show next year." Fans were also introduced to a new character who promises to figure in next season's storylines: Penelope Widmore, played by Sonya Walger.

In the finale, viewers find out where Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) was, what happens when the button doesn't get pushed, why the plane crashed and the fate of Michael (Harold Perrineau) and Walt (Malcolm David Kelley). At the end, Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway) are prisoners of the Others. And Claire (Emilie de Ravin) gives Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) a kiss.

"I'm excited about love in season three," said executive producer Bryan Burk, adding: "Don't forget now the people have been on the island for 60-plus days. They're now obviously more familiar with each other. ... The concept of love [is there], and ... it weaves its way through all of our characters. It's going to be much more prevalent in season three."

Now that Lost has finished shooting, the season-three writers met recently for a "boot camp" in Hawaii, where they broke the main story arcs for next year. "It's fun, because we're still kind of following on a macro level the same trajectory that we talked about years ago," Burk said. "The details are changing on this, and new characters that we hadn't thought about are here, ... but what's fun is kind of the whole big journey is still kind of where we had originally talked about it. And it feels as I had always said from day one, when I was doing interviews in season one, I kept saying that the show doesn't really start kicking in for me until seasons two and three. ... Somebody smarter than me recently said in a TV Guide letter, ... 'If you think you're still watching a show about people who crashed on an island, you're watching another show.' There's a lot going on, and as we move forward, ... we're getting deeper into the center of the onion."
