Good episode this week.

How in hell would they have turned it around anyway? It doesnt even seem airworthy. The wheels are stuck in the sand, for one thing.


Also, that has to be a new record for number of characters dying in one episode.

Im just anticipating a series finale that will leave everyone simultaneously confused, astounded and disappointed when they dont tie up all the loose threads.

Also; lots of cool little details in this image, if you look closely:

Bloke standing up - spitting image of fella that plays hellboy

Eh?  Ron Perlman from Sons Hoff Anarchoy? You think so?

What we all thinking of lost at the min.  Finale is on Sunday in America

I think its pretty lazy, yet typical, of lost.

I mean, there is a lot they have yet to answer, and Im guessing wont answer, and still they decide to pretty much come up with something totally different than youd expect for the reason its all happened. I dont know whether to feel jipped or not.

If someone has a spare five minutes on their hands, I dont suppose they could explain the whole damn thing to me? I watched the first season and half of the first, then the odd episode here and there but could never get into it as the writing always felt a bit sloppy and it never felt like it was going anywhere. That said Id still intrigued about the whole purpose behind the lost life/universe/everything and would like to know exactly whats going on and why they are there and why there is lots of bizarre sh*t happening on the island.

Same, for some reason I thought it was on next Monday morning, rather than today, so will be watching it later on tonight or tomorrow depending on my access to the TV.

For Chris, below is what I can remember of the story of the different seasons, with a time limit of 5 mins to type it out (in the style of xxx in 60 seconds etc)

Thar be spoilers below, you have been warned...

So, season 1, a plane crashes on an unknown island. Various people are introduced. It turns out in the current/last season that the people were brought to the island by a bloke named Jacob, who was seemingly immortal and was the guardian of the island. The people on the plane were all candidates for being his replacement, as he knew that he was going to be killed by his brother soon, and if there wasnt a replacement, thered be nothing stopping his brother leaving. Why is this important? Well back when Jacob was a mere mortal, he ended up pushing his brother into the heart of the island in an act of vengeance for killing their mother. As a result his brother seemingly has been linked to the island and is the smoke monster. Im guessing if he leaves the light at the centre of the island goes out and its the end of everything.

To be honest, absolutely everything else has just been filler. In terms of lazy writing, youre right, none of the big questions have really been answered, such as who the others are. A very basic run down of the different groups is the plane crash survivors, and the others. The others being people that took over the Dharma initiatives operations. Where they came from is never explained, all we know is that Ben, the leader of the others, killed off the dharma initiative people using poison gas, on the command of Richard, jacobs second in command. This was presumably to stop Dharma from putting the light out in their attempts to study the islands weird properties. I guess you can assume the others were also brought to the island by Jacob to protect it.

Thats it, honestly, all the flashbacks/forwards/sideways are just fillers pretty much, though Im guessing something will happen in the final episode to do with sideways universe. - sideways universe being what the characters would have been doing had they never crashed...apparently some of them are starting to remember the island.

Ive just finished watching it too. Tbh the above synopsis still stands, not much happens in the final 2 eps other than a long and protracted epilogue so to speak.

I wasnt too disappointed either by it, mind you I watched New Moon (of my own volition too) last night and didnt think it was *that* bad either. Not good, but not as bad as Id been lead to believe!

Pretty much yeah imo.

The only relevance the episodes had were in making jack, and I guess hurley, do what they had to do.

When you consider the final seasons "sideways" flashes, these could entirely have been left out, not needed, do you need to know that they had all died at some point (duh, everyone dies) and that they were meeting up before moving on? Not really. So the last season could have been done in about 3 episodes, explaining Jacob and Richards origins, and then the rush to destroy/save the island.

Id heard that originally the series was meant to only be a few seasons long, but the execs decided to string it out. I can believe this. Think back to episodes such as when 2 of the survivors get buried alive. You hadnt met them before and you didnt meet them again, totally unrelevant to the plot, just took up another episode.
