I too think that Locke will survive. He is a very popular charactar and it would be very annoying if they killed him off.

The have 7 seasons mapped out and are filling in the minor plot details. It will conclude in the 7th series if it gets that far. Lets hope it goes on unlike the excelent Invasion that got binned after 1 season.

Well seeing as we're approaching series 3....

I sure hope they have a lot in mind to keep it interesting then as if not viewing figures will drop season by season.
I want an ending and I want it soon. I don't want to find it out in some 5 years time.

I like this show, but you're right. It has to be ended very soon. Otherwise it would be just like any other series without any unique plot or quality...

Too right. Considering we've just waded through 24 hours worth of telly, exactly how much more information do we have about the whole scenario? I think root canal dentistry would be preferable to sitting through another five whole seasons of this, to find out how it ends.

Handyman's suggestion that they do actually have a seven-year story arc mapped out is all the more worrying, because if they have the arc but are filling in the gaps season by season, it means that most of the nitty gritty bits and pieces that we see each week are likely to have little or no consequence when all's said and done.

They are stringing it out much too far for my liking - take the constant flashbacks for example. That worked nicely in the first series as a way of introducing the characters, but now we know who they all are, the flashbacks are just a means to slow down the narrative (and I won't buy any suggestions that the flashbacks in the season 2 finale were useful for feeding the overall plot, bringing Desmond's girlfriend in at the last minute as a season cliffhanger was an extremely lazy piece of plotwork). If they don't shake it up next season, Lost is going to become a triumph of style over substance. The attributes that made it an intriguing piece of TV when it was first screened are in danger of stalling it.

Do you think the title is referring to the characters or the viewers?

Maybe Bernard (or as they like to say it, Ber-NARD

) could take care of that, he's a dentist

In the last two episodes Desmond told Locke that he may have caused there plane to crash, and Locke still insisted on not typeing in the numbers.

When he didn't all metal objects were pulled to the hatch. That could explain why the ship "Black Rock" was so far in land. This also leads me to thick that Locke, Eko & Desmond who where inside the hatch are not dead.

The island has healing powers too remember - Rose overcame her cancer, Locke regained feeling in his legs etc.

Will all the dead characters rise again?
