Who else is going to be glued to ABC tonight? (Lost)

[buckeyegrad]

So what did everyone think of the ending of this week's episode where the new woman told Hurley that flight 815 was found and there were no survivors?

My first reaction was that DARHMA or the Others, or whoever the freak is in charge, must have stagged a crash on another island in the South Pacific to lead searchers astray so as not to discover the island. Seems like the most logical...or at least simple explanation.

However, I've discussed this with a few people at work who also watch the show and they've come up with some other ideas:

1) The island is a nexus of alternative realities and when the woman crashed she slipped from our reality where the flight crashed and everyone was dead to another reality where the crash site was not found and there were survivors.

2) The characters are not who they think they are. Rather this is some type of DARHMA experiment where people have been implanted with false memories--those of the people who died on the flight 815.

3) The island is purgatory/they really are all dead (which my wife still argues). I don't buy this one unless the writers are lame.

I've heard the writers have said its not purgatory although I think it would be a great way to explain all the random crap like polar bears and killer dust cloud.

I've heard the idea about the planted memories n stuff which I think sounds plausible and pretty cool, but I think the explanation to all this is going to be something no one saw coming.

They're not in purgatory.

Just because they're not in Purgatory doesn't mean they're not dead.

I wasn't using that link to disprove what you said (although, I don't believe that to be true), it was in response to the statements above referring directly to purgatory.

I hear you and didn't mean to argue with you directly. For what it's worth, I think it needs to end with the plane's wreckage being found floating somewhere in the Pacific with no apparent survivors. I don't necessarily want the plot all wrapped up at the end.

I would be ok with that. I'm not one of these people that complain about not getting answers, so I wouldn't mind the show ending with some unanswered details still hanging out.

I tend to think that time on the island is cyclical and the same events are happening over and over again (which would explain Desmond having visions of the future, but wouldn't explain the real time events happening off the island) and would like to see the show end with only two survivors left, maybe Jack and Kate, seeking shelter in a cave with an implication that they die there and hence they are Adam and Eve from season 1.

What if they made the entire show one of Bob Newhart's dreams? :tongue2:

It isn't?

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

no discussion on this past episode?

I thought it was great. I don't believe they are dead, that's too easy of a reasoning. Plus, they wouldn't talk about it as much if it were actually what had happend.

Jack seems suspicious, it's no wonder that no one really trusts him anymore. Sawyer returning knowing that Juliet is a mole should also be an interesting confrontation.

Next week's episode looks like it will be great. The past 2 months of this season have been awesome. Still the best show on TV

"Lost" to end in 3 seasons.

Quick points.
- They are not dead, Darma just cooked up that story so the public would stop talking about it and looking for them.
- Kate is pregnant, that is what Juliette wanted to tell her, and the reason she is living with them as a mole.
- I know Penny's family is wealthy, but how and why is she still looking for Desmond? What will become of that story line?

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

16 episodes a season in the final 3 seasons should make every episode great.

I'll buy that premise.

- Kate is pregnant, that is what Juliette wanted to tell her, and the reason she is living with them as a mole.

Consistent with the high sperm count for all males - high fecundity for the females (but why the failure to go to term?).

- I know Penny's family is wealthy, but how and why is she still looking for Desmond? What will become of that story line?

A - Lost love.
B - Lost
