Lost (TV show)

It's kind of wild that in the new promos, in the reflection of the island, there is a cityscape.

I love this show, but it's been on hiatus for so long! I'm going to have to go back and watch season 3 in it's entirety to remember what's going on.

That said, I'd still rather wait until Season 4 wrapped, and watch it over the course of a week on DVD.

any predictions? particularly, whos funeral was jack at in the lasst episode?

And what new low has Sawyer slumped to in the s04 trailer?

"doing what i always have done kate; survivin.
 
Did anyone watch the 2 hour special with commentary notes last night?

I saw a few minutes of it. It was kind of interesting siting "popular theories on the internet"...

I was wondering if anything interesting was said in the notes?

I caught the part where the episode was called "Through the looking glass", which is also the follow up to Alice in Wonderland. They show Jack as the mirror opposite of his life on the island. Hmmm, could it be that special room that Lockes father came from?

Let's get this place rolling again, its been a while!

LOL

Holy crap, I forgot completely about that room with Locke's dad and everything. Just one of hundreds of island mysteries that gets brought up, and never mentioned again.

I know the casket was small-ish looking but my money is on Hurley...

Inspired by his weight loss while on the island he took it to extremes once back on the mainland. He starved himself and ended up dying from malnutrition at a mere 90 pounds....

Of course I have been known to be wrong on occasion....

No, I doubt it. Remember Kate's reaction upon seeing the obituary? ...Like she wanted nothing to do with it?

Based on this, I think we're supposed to assume it's Ben. ...Or I suppose it could be Locke.

juiliet?

i don't know if it could have been her. reviewing the season 3 finale again, when at the funeral home jack is asked if he is a friend or family member. he says neither.

so maybe ben? or locke? or sawyer?
 
can't wait until 8! Lost is really the only TV show I like to watch and i had the last episode playing in the background as I worked today to get back into it and up to speed. Looks like tonight's going to be a good one!
 
Hurley referred to himself as one of the "Oceanic 6" I assume that this means 6 of them made it off the island, we know 3 now...

Jack, Kate, and Hurley, and they didn't even choose the same side in the Locke vs. Jack showdown.
 
I feel like the episode didn't reveal anything other than the fact that Hurley gets off the island and Naomi wasn't dead right away. The preview covered pretty much everything else. Next week should be real good though.

Holy moly. Good episode!

In what sense? No questions were answered. Most of what "happened" was an hallucination of Hurley's.

Once again, nothing happened.

It's yet another tease episode for something interesting or revealing to happen in the next episode. We've waited for FOUR ****ING YEARS now for the magician to pull a rabbit out of the hat, and we haven't even seen the tip of the bunny's ears.

All we get is rabbit ****.

That said, I expect season six to rock, but this show really should have been a two-season show at the most. The producers talk a good game, but does anyone here realize that when this series runs out of new shows in 7 weeks time that we have to wait until February 2009 for the next season?

C'mon, it's time that people stop cutting ABC so much slack. Yes, the idea behind Lost is amazing, and, yes, we're all hooked like addicts, but it's ****ing time to ****ing deliver. Stop giving these *******s a free pass.

So is it Sawyer or Locke (or Sayid?) on the coffin on last season's ending? (Now that we know hurley is alive?)

It could still be Hurley. Jack said "I'm thinking about growing a beard" so I assume since he had the beard at the beginning of the season finale, this episode took place prior to that one. So Hurley being alive means very little.

Good point. So Jack killed Hurley for him to not do/tell whatever Jack didn't want him to? (wild guess obviously.).

Is Michael still out of the question? He might have gotten off the island and he was a carpenter, like the newspaper clipping said.

you don't get it, do you? Lost is not about having questions answered. its about having the questions posed to you. its the journey, not the destination. i can guarantee you with absolute certainty that the answers (if we ever get them) will be disappointing.

i implore everyone on this thread and the Cloverfield threads to watch JJ Abrams' talk at TED:

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/205

in it he basically spells out in no uncertain terms that its the questions that are interesting, not the answers. if you are watching Lost for the answers, you are gonna be disappointed.

You are probably correct, with the exception of your assumption that I "don't get it." Save your insults for the playground.

Remember, though, that we look to literature to clarify the ambiguity that plagues us in our everyday lives. Typically, we enjoy novels, movies, plays and TV shows that bring to fruition the themes and topics they explore. Why read a book or watch a movie if it's simply going to thumb its nose at you as The Sopranos did?

Most of us are aware enough to realize that any work of fiction is simply a snapshot of the lives of the characters involved. We know that we enter at some point and exit at another; at the same time, we hope that neither is completely arbitrary. What's the fun of that? Where's the satisfaction?

OK, I'm watching the Ted thing. Complete intellectual masturbation. It's enough to say you have "mystery," it's another thing to intentionally deceive people. As Abrams has always done, he's raking in the millions on a false premise. He promises the answers are coming, but then pulls them away like a shell game.

He's a ****er. I didn't think it was possible, but this video has made me hate JJ Abrams more than I did before. ****er.

At one point during Hurleys hallucination with Charley (pretty funny when he slapped him BTW), I got the distinct feeling that Jack was also visiting from the beyond since he wasn't drunk / withdrawn, etc.. I was starting to think Jack went to his own funeral and nobody showed...

Interesting that they split camps. Rose and Bernard who have a very good reason to stay decided they didn't want to "Go with that man". Someone who I thought had a very strong connection to Locke.

What did Hurley say to the Cop that was interrogating him? I missed the response when he asked if he knew her. Anna Lucia's partner, yet another connection there.

I have to agree, a typical lost, fun in its own right, but certainly didn't move the story forward very much.

Hurley did see Jacob rocking in the chair. Would that be a threat to Locke? I kind of see the whole Locke - Ben thing as a changing of the guard. The others have been watching all these years, now its the survivors turn.

How long before they rebuild the computer and start punching in numbers again? Series Finale?

The new search for the island. Could the people that were looking for the island be the previous inhabitants? Also looking to get back and rid them of their demons.

Kate seemed flabbergasted that Jack presumed she would want to go to the funeral. In my mind, that rules out any of the survivors.

Who was hated by everyone so much so that their funeral would not draw a single mourner save Jack? I really believe it's Ben and that Jack learned after leaving the island that he had a lot more in common with the little guy than he would ever had thought possible.

About tonight's episode, I think its interesting that future Jack seemed to have is life in order. He was clean shaven, working, made a drink with a tiny amount of alcohol and seemed to be quite adjusted. In last seasons finale, Jack was where Hurley was tonight. Maybe next week, we will see Kate and she will be the one wigging out.
