I think that Jack is going to "screw" things up again with the bomb. Much like he created Evil Ben by refusing the treat him (thinking he could change history) he's going to set off the bomb thinking he can change history again when in fact he'll just set off the accident thus completing the circle of time.

This is why they had to go back. To keep the events of time flowing normally.

That makes sense. Also could be why at the start of the Series Ben asked the 'others' to take the names of the survivors. He knew who was important ,the ones who went back in time, and sent the others home. Or maybe he did it because he knows he did it from his past...
 
My prediction: The bomb goes off, so we think many are killed (end of this season), but the island's strange powers, intensified by the bomb, shift everyone in time, so they all survive (start of next season). The island also absorbs all of the hazardous radiation. The question then becomes: WHEN will they be?

I'm thinking that Locke is doing exactly what the island/Jacob wants him to do. Back when Locke first saw Jacob, we heard him say, "help me."

The writers of Lost usually use some pretty hefty misdirection at the end of each show's cliffhanger. We're made to think Locke has gone mental, deranged, whatever - but it's really just something else he has to do for the island - to set Jacob free, or whatever. Locke is probably still dead, which would be requisite for him moving into Jacob's position.

I also agree that we'll see the bomb detonate at the end of the season finale.

I can't believe it's almost over - one episode and one season to go.
 
What are the odd's that the bomb going off is actually the 'incident' they originally referred to. In this case, not getting the bomb is what will change the future...

i dont think it's that. they said that the original incident was they drilled into a pocket of electromagnetism and released hence them having to build around it and pressing a button. The charge builds up every 108 mins and pressing the button causes it to discharge. the bomb is possibly a way of permanently discharging the electromagnetism. Like Faraday said the variables in the equation are now the original survivors of 815 and miles and juliet.
 
Sorry to repeat myself... can someone explain the logic of this plan? I still don't get how if they foil the 'incident', thus avoiding the plane crash altogether, thus never ever being there, how they would then be there to foil the 'incident'. It doesn't make sense to me. But maybe I'm missing something.

it would cause a paradox that is for sure. but i think it all goes back to the course correction. if Desmond hadn't saved Charlie's life he wouldn't have been able to swim under to the Looking Glass and since he was the only one musically inclined disable the jamming beacon. thus leading him to talk to Penny and then warning them that it wasent Penny's boat. Lost seems to be all about course correction. that the timeline is going to happen the way that it is supposed to no matter what. but to actually answer your question i dont think they know what is going to happen but it should be interesting to see what happens in the Lost universe if they create a paradox.

A bit off topic but ... One of the cable channels has been running "Deja Vu" a movie with Denzel Washington, Val Kilmer, Adam Goldberg. A research project figures out how to look four days into the past, which the FBI uses to try to thwart a terrorist event in New Orleans.

The movie got horrible reviews when it came out. I've always found it to be a guilty pleasure.

I'm not so sure the movie holds up under scrutiny. (Denzel sees evidence of the "changed" past while he's living in the "unchanged" present, for one.) But it's a great flick and hits a lot of the same notes that Lost is right now. Think of it as "Lost Lite."

Looks like tonight at 8 is another recap episode called "Journey in Time". Can someone verify this for me so I can adjust my DVR accordingly?

Less than 10 hours 'til the real thing! I'm filled with bittersweet anticipation.

I think it's the same one they showed two weeks ago. I could be wrong though.

From the synopsis of "Journey in Time" at TV.com:

The viewer is once again invited to discover how the Oceanic 6 were able to get back to the island, what happened to the survivors left behind during the three years after Ben moved the island, and the fate of Locke.

Sounds like you're right. I didn't watch it when it aired a few weeks ago so I wasn't sure. Mehhhh.

At least they aren't dedicating a whole week to it.
 
What are we going to do with all of the extra time we'll have once Lost Season 5 is over?

Perhaps I'll pay the unopened bills that have piled up since January 21, go back to showing up at work, put out the fire that started in another room of our house sometime in March, or read the 638,442 posts made in other MacRumors threads since Season 5 started.

It's gonna be strange not watching Lost each Wednesday, but we've had to go through this before so I guess we can do it again.

TVGuide.com says it's 'new'. Record it, you can always delete it.
 
getting pretty pumped for tonite's episode. one little theory i have about the whatever happened, happened situations. to me it is clear that they are on a set time line. because Eloise Hawking had that conversation with Widmore saying that she sent her son back there knowing full well what was going to happen. That to me means that she remembers shooting her son. also Miles seeing his father sending them off the island shows again that it always happened that way. Because Miles, Hurly, and Jin were the ones that convinced Dr. Chang to order the evacuation. So everything is happening exactly like it was supposed to.

6 HOURS!!
