Who makes these compilations of ideas... and are they going to make a book when this is over? :r

Cus I want to read it... before I rewatch the entire series..... in August :D

This makes me wonder if anyone will want to watch it over. The producers say that they are
gonna answer all the questions, then they admit that they aren't even gonna scratch the
surface of the answers. People have invested so much time in this thinking it made sense
somehow, and that at the ned they would find out what the hell was actually going on.
But once the last episode has aired and it's just the DVD sales that keep this giant boner
alive in culture, They will find out why you do it right and make people satisfied, fulfilled
and cathartically spent. Who would want a DVD set of how this farce has turned out?

A friend of mine does a lot of data mining in various forums to compile this list for us Lost fans. It's not all her theories so I doubt she'll be making a book :)

You can rest assured knowing I won't spend a cent on the DVD box set compiling all 6 seasons....








I'll be buying the blu-ray set instead :D... ;)

I guess I'm one of the poor saps who is looking forward to Season 6 on DVD. We already have 1, 2, 4 & 5. I think the series is moving toward a decent conclusion, with enough questions being answered to satisfy me. They're not spoon-fed answers, but I can honestly say that I get what this story has been about.

Cyanide 05-18-2010 04:47 PM

Re: LOST Notes
 
I have heard that the producers/writers are re-working key episodes and story elements from all six seasons to make the story more cohesive and answer further questions that they original pass through couldn't handle.

Rumours have it that the extra/reworked footage will add up to an average of about 5 minutes per episode, or about 10 hours total never-before-seen footage in the whole 6 season box set.

My theory at this point is that Jack and all of the other candidates will get killed, and Hurley will become the new Jacob, and Hurley will die in the flash sideways. Then somehow, the 2 universes will merge, so everything will be fine. :2

My original theory was that Hurley would be 'The Man' so I can buy into that. Except the merge, that's too trippy for me to work it out in my head.

There's going to be a 2 hour recap at 7, and the 2.5 hour finale is at 9.

JE3146 05-20-2010 04:17 PM

Re: LOST Notes
 
When this flash sideways thing appeared... I figured there was going to be two things that happened... the sideways would resolve into peace.. and the island would resolve into chaos...

The sideways of course.. only resolves into peace BECAUSE of the flashbacks to an unknown connection and alternate reality.

The viewer will get to choose which is real.

That's my take on it...

Stupida$$ recaps!! Don't they know I have to WORK in the morning. I DID kind of get hooked on the "enhanced episodes" for dummies that explained wtf was going on that I had no clue about. I swear, these graphics say all these things and I go WHAT? WHO? The man in black? Flocke? what show is this. Some of that is kidding. :) But they don't call it LOST for nuthin.

Dammit, I hate this show! Watched the pilot last night because nothing else was on, now I'm watching the recap. I think we'll be buying some DVDs in the future.

I've given the DVR a little bit of a buffer and I'm getting ready to watch the final episode right now. Pretty excited!

Re: LOST Notes
 
I think what I love about TV, is that it never changes. Flocke is wrapping up ten feet of rope
on his shoulder in camp or wherever, then as they lower Desmond down, they have a hundred feet.
When they shoot bows and arrows with dynamite, it will have come full circle. OK so Locke is in
Dr. Jack' hands. That's too obvious. But I think it's clear that it's gonna be Hurley in the end. Stay behind, my A$$.

An absolutely awesome series finale. Not all questions were a swedes in the end but I'm still pretty satisfied. In the end the mysteries of the island were less important than a great story about people.

You missed the big picture... big time.


The ending, while not immediately predictable was obviously rememberable.


And to people focusing on rope lengths... just wow.

I'm not entirely sure he did miss the big picture. Yes, I realize the finale was saying "oh hey, it's about the people, not about the island" but then why for SIX YEARS have they made it all about the island? Yes there was a great storyline about people and their life's journies, and I did appreciate the finale from that aspect, but the show was also about the island and I think they really didn't finish the show's story by leaving out any sort of explanation about the island :td

Unfortunately, the big picture isn't what has left me with the most questions. I can follow the story line (Sort of I guess, this is Lost after all) , but I would like several things explained in regards to the island, and some of the occurrences that happened. I feel as though the writers were able to brush things under the rug, that LOTS of fans wanted to have explained.

And lots of people have an inquisitive nature, so when we do focus on "rope lengths", that's our right to do so. No need to be brash. Just as it is your right to focus on the bigger picture.

And I have to agree with Brian, for 6 seasons, the show was about the island as a primary, so when they don't explain anything about the island in the finale, it is probably frustrating to a lot of people. I also think a lot of people want closure, where some people want to draw their own conclusion or interpretation, and that's fine. That's what makes us different from each other. But I am a closure person, so I would like things spelled out for me.

But when it's all said and done, the series was amazing, and truly will be hard to out do.

I kinda feel the same way. The island story was kinda resolved. Hurley was left in charge until he dies, and so on. I just can't wrap my head around all of the questions I still have about the island and it's mythical properties. I guess in the end the show was a story about Jack and his redemption. The rest was just extra stuff to keep us entertained in the meantime...

Re: LOST Notes
 
I think the Simpsons said it best last night with this opening sequence:

http://i.huffpost.com/gen/168483/SIMPSONS-LOST.jpg


Seriously, I did have to grapple with it in my mind for a while, but I do get it. The show ends as it begins and it made some sense to me. It was about choice and it was Jack who had to make that choice, something they hinted at all season long: Jack had to let go. Rose said that to him in the first episode this season and several others said it in one way or another. The producers already knew that not all of the questions would be answered, but that will fuel the debate of "Lost" for years to come.

1-10 I give it a 4.5.

At least we know that Vincent is the grim reaper.

Re: LOST Notes
 
Now that I have had time to think about it, I get *most* of it.

Ben's ending confused me a little, and why were some of the Losties left out of the Church reunion? Like Ann Lucia? I have to look again, but was Daniel in the Church? Desmond told his mother that Daniel wasn't coming with them if I recall correctly.

I'm OK with not being told the entire story/history/reason for the Island itself, it allows for speculation.

And now that I think of it, the best part of all were the scenes as the credits ran. I have to go back and look at those closely. At first I thought it was a look at the first Oceanic crash, the scenes from the First Episode, but now I think it was actually the plane that had Lapidus, Kate, Sawyer and the others on it.

Can't wait on the detailed notes to show up here.

You'll notice every person 'found' each other before 'leaving.'

The obvious destiny of Daniel was to be with Charlotte, but both were never truly together, whether separated by time, space or death.

Each person found happiness. They found resolve and they proceeded onward. Not every person had resolve yet, and as Hurley pointed out, Anna Lucia wasn't 'ready' yet.

I didn't see Michael and Walt in that room either. I didn't see Charle's Widmore either, so I'm hoping neither of them will show up in a repeat viewing and blow my idea to hell, which is entirely possible.

And for the record, the Target commercials were genius. :r

Groups of people inhabited the island for decades/centuries looking for clues to the island's mysteries. To the people protecting it, it boiled down to Faith.
