POSSIBLE SPOILER
According to screencaps of the shot from http://losteastereggs.blogspot.com/, personally, I think it'd be pretty lame if John died from a gun wound to his kidney-ish area, since he... doesn't have it anymore? But I'm no doctor. I don't know much about anatomy. Just a guess? 1 2 _______________ Captain Barkeep. This comment was edited by Mune on May 19 2007 03:19pm. |

I have a strange feeling Sayid may sacrifice himself to save Bernard and Jin, or something to that effect. I know what you mean about Bernard's skills but then other Lostee's have gotten lucky with just as little experience. Yeah there was a lot of build up to Charlie's sacrifice, i'm not sure he'll be able to change it unless Desmond somehow intervenes. I do hope they explain why Dessie has been getting visions about Charlie specifically though...
I am 100% certain Locke will be alive, its going to be interesting to see how his situation plays out, could well set up a new plot line for next season. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

Seems to me Bernard will die, just because he isn't experienced in combat. As for Charlie, Desmond's vision could still come true, but the fact that there are people on the station is interesting.
So, you guys think John will not be rescued? _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

Well, I guess it makes sense that the finale is called Through the looking glass. Haha. (Spoilers) I can't wait! And yes I was surprised that Charlie is not dead yet. I see what you say about Sayid and the rest of them but from the preivew, it looks like they aren't going to go down without a fight so it should be very interesting. _______________ Katan's Music Bruver

Spoilers may follow:
Wow that episode was amazing. Some of you might remember that Charlie is my favourite character in Lost for some important reasons so this episode was pretty emotional anyway, but even the non-charlie bits are setting up a brilliant finale. Also it explains why Roussaeu was collecting dynamite in 'The Brig' episode. I really like how the characters were written in this episode, i felt it captured them spot on. Charlie's farewells were particularly well done. I heard somewhere that there is supposed to be five deaths before the end of the season (or maybe just in the season total?) and that they will be major characters (in other words not just random islander #4 or nicki and paolo). **spoilers** After this episode i'm worried Sayid, and/or Jin maybe two of these deaths - they are both staying behind (with bernard) to shoot the dynamite, Sayid in particular might not survive. I find this amusing because after Charlie and Desmond they are probably two of my favourite characters. 
On a final note: I really didn't see that ending coming, I had a feeling Charlie would not be able to hold his breath that long and i wondered what the sollution would be, seems the looking glass is not as flooded as we thought; how the hell is he going to get himself outta that one?

I loved the first season of Lost! But since then I have found that I am losing interest in it. Very sad. 
I do hope that the last couple episodes are worth watching this past season.
I kinda feel the same way about 24 as well. Definitely the most boring season of 24 for me.  _______________ RIP MOM 06/29/58-07/31/08 Married to Koyi Donita 4/30/11 This comment was edited by Smilykrazy on May 15 2007 08:17am. |

Quote: No way Locke will die IMO. The island will probably save him.
I agree, not sure exactly how he will survive yet, although as has been said the island and Jacob are possiblities. Personally i'm worried about Charlie after reading the blurb for the next episode... Ah yes Jacob the latest mystery in Lost, they better not leave us waiting a season to find out what he's all about lol. Ben is more unstable than i thought. I presume his statement to Michael that the Others are 'the good guys' is in reference to the fact he was not a fan of the DHARMA group. There seems to be more to these 'natives' than meets the eye though, as that Richard guy definitely dosn't seem to be aging, either that or he has discovered an excellent moisturiser or something. Going to be a strong finale thats for certain, between this and Heroes i feel spoilt for quality television. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

Quote: As for last night's episode, I only have this comment (so spoilers). Anyone else find that guy who recruited Juliet way back in the season, and told Locke about Sawyer find him a bit different? It seems his age is just a bit weird as we see him obviously in Ben's flashback. Only looked like his hair was shorter!
SPOILERS - HUGE ONES Yea, I thought that too! Richard is the dude's name I think. I guess he ages rather well on the island. It also makes sense how Ben became their leader, basically delivering control of the island and Dharma's facilities to the hostiles. It seems that the roles are reversed now, our favorite LOST characters are the hostiles and the previous hostiles are sort of like Dharma. Richard and his buddies got control of that company which recruited Juliet, so perhaps they are pretending to be Dharma? As for Jacob, that is rather vague. Could all be in Ben's head, but you never know. Hope Locke isn't dead, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did die. His death would definitely cause a stir among the Others, who seemed to have a great respect for his communion with the island. BTW, I liked how "Roger - Work Man" fit into Ben's background story. Explains the dead body and the truck full of beer heh. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist This comment was edited by R2D2 on May 13 2007 04:49pm. |

Quote: Actually I know one person who thinks 3 seasons is too much. Basically thinking they should be able to wrap it up in 12 fewer episodes.
I'm one of those people. I'm seriously losing interest in this show. One of the downsides of TV shows is that they go by ratings. The better the show does, the more drawn-out it becomes. A show like lost is based on suspense and plot twists. How far can they drag this before people give up and watch something with more closure. At least now there is an end in sight, so we know what to expect. I don't think I'll watch the next seasons until they all available on DVD. _______________ make install -not war |

Quote: sucks for you guys, i'd hate them to annouce 24 not being made anymore
Actually I know one person who thinks 3 seasons is too much. Basically thinking they should be able to wrap it up in 12 fewer episodes. And 24 is getting as ridiculous as Lost, and its ratings are dropping. I'm sorry but CTU should not have been able to get attacked like that, in any way shape or form. Its just more impossible than a polar bear on a tropical island. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Quote: Well, I guess it's official. Lost will end in 2010 with 3 shorter seasons of 16 episodes each.
http://www.thetailsection.com/lost-news/breaking-news-lost-to-end-in-2.php And yes I do hope Jack pulls himself together and quits being whipped by Juliet. I hate that girl. Yeah i read that, i like the idea although i think it would be better if it was just two more series of 24 episodes. Still... good to see they are not going to milk it for all its got like some shows. Oh and RE Cult shows writers dragging them out to make money: Yeaaaah thats obviously going to happen, it happens with most media forms - comics, bands, films. They keep releasing new stuff if its popular. I would point out its not the writers at all, rather a decision by the producers (or sometimes strait from the company that owns the show), the writers do the best they can to keep the show interesting for the viewers and if they dont they are not doing their job. Personally the reason i watch or even find out about shows like Lost/heroes/24 etc. is because i hope they have a long life span, the difficulty is making it work over the large amount of time, i feel Lost just about achieves this despite some edgy moments in s2, its not as if 24 has done it flawlessly. Take Firefly and Farscape for instance, they are cult shows that got cut before they were 'finished' and the fans were upset, as far as i can tell fans of things like this are just easily annoyed and want control. Hah i wasn't going to write all that but i have now
Aaaaanyway, yeah i think Mikhail could have been faking, if so then it means that fence is a specific anti-smoke monster device. I mean if people do come back to life on the island i feel sorry for those poor souls they buried lol. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

Quote: There are rumors going about that ABC is going to annouce an end date for Lost. I guess this is what the producers wanted so they dont have to drag the story forever. Supposedly they want the last season to be season 5. 2 more seasons of Lost is good enough for me. BTW anyone surprised at Mikhail (the russian guy) being alive again? Or was he never dead in the first place.
I think Mikhail could have faked it. Also, if you've noticed, there have been references that space and time may not be as they seem (2 Flight 815s etc..). For instance, a guard in the Other's camp was reading Hawking's _A Brief History of Time_. I also remember something about the weird brainwashing video having a reference to space and time. Hard to tell with Mikhail still... heh. I want Jack to get a grip on himself, and stop being whipped by Juliet! _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

Again, says you.
 I can only presume you have not been following the show as regularly or closely as other viewers. One of the shows main criticisms is that it dosn't answer all the questions and explore all the (many) mysteries of the island quickly enough. it does not answer anything at all. story flows as fast as snail, the makers of the series are truly pros of lengthening the episodes. the story of 3 seasons could have been made into one season. no one would get hurt. LOST is very character driven. You can't develop characters to the extent LOST does and resolve all of their stories within one season. If you pay attention, you'll notice that almost each character's flashback relates directly to what is happening presently in the episode it is in. As for stretching it all out, let's examine the basic story lines for each season... ***MILD SPOILERS (not going into great details, but if you plan to watch LOST, don't read this)*** Season 1 - Get to know the characters and some of the dark secrets they hide. They learn about some of the mysteries of the island, but do not get much in the way of explanations as of yet (they have no clue what is going on, like the viewers). During this season, the Others are introduced in a vague fashion (they keep on kidnapping people), as if we were viewing them as one of the main characters from the fuselage. Season 2 - Starts off resolving the finale from last season of course, and in the process introduces a new group of characters who were part of the tail section of the airplane. Naturally, the viewers get some episodes with background info concerning this group of characters. Eventually, both groups meet up and realize they have a common enemy, the Others. Meanwhile, some characters investigate a station on the island called the "Hatch" (which was dramatically introduced in season 1). One of the Others is captured (not revealed as an Other until later) and interrogated. His presence leads to one of the characters betraying his fellow tail section members and delivering some hostages to the Others. Meanwhile, one character decides to investigate the supposed location of the Other's camp and finds it, but it turns out to be empty
The few characters involved with the "Hatch" decide to take a risk by not punching in a certain sequence of numbers which has always been punched in supposedly to "save the world." As a result a huge EM disturbance is released after a character uses a manual override. In the last bit of the finale, a research station hired by one of the island's characters noticed the EMP (possible chance of getting rescued). Season 3 - Starts off by following what happens to the hostages and what happens to the Hatch. The viewers get to see how the Others live and learn more about them. Apparently, all of them don't get along so well The interrogation scenes and the stuff regarding the Others got rather slowwww at this point in the season. Eventually, some of the hostages escape, while one stays behind and lives with the Others. Meanwhile, the tailies are discovering other stations on the island in order to better understand what is going on. A rescue party is conducted for the one member that is still imprisoned by the Others. Lot of interesting events happen when they reach the Other's camp/living area. The last hostage is rescued but it turns out he had a somewhat normal life with the Others and has a friend which he brings back with him. Here's where the latest episodes come in. As you can tell, this friend that is taken back with the rescue party leads to some trouble.
From what I've seen, most of the odd stuff in Season 1 and some of Season 2 has been explained or further looked into. Almost every detail about the island has some sort of explanation or will be building up to an explanation soon. IF I were to cut off anything from the previous episodes, I would have shortened some of the stuff concerning the tail section members and/or the interrogations by the Others because those were two of the times where LOST was crawling imo. Of course, if you cut stuff, the viewers lose insight into certain details which were presented earlier. I don't want to make any blatant spoilers, but if anyone that actually follows LOST closely and thinks it sucks wants me to, I can talk with them individually on how LOST gets around to explaining some of the weird stuff on the island that we have seen. Of course, currently, there are still some stuff have not been fully explained, but I have a good feeling that they will be revisited soon. LOST is pretty much gathering the scattered pieces of a puzzle and putting them together slowly, until finally when the series ends, the viewers will have a good grasp of the Island, Others, and other mysteries that were revealed. _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

Who else would say it? Just wanted to make something clear. These are discussion forums where people can share an opinion that may or may not agree with your own. So the need to point out what is an opinion is moot at the very least. Carry on. [edit] And for the record, Lost is like any other mega popular series out there.
