Anyone watch the last two in the series last night? Lost of questions answered and lots more posed.....actaully that happens every week...

Do you think Lock and Mr Eko are dead? Why do the others want Kate, Jack and Sawyer?.....

Aragorn · 28-09-2006, 16:21

I can't see Locke & Eko surviving that. But yes, more questions than answers, like what does Desmond's g/f have to do with it.
I think three were chosen as they are the main ring leaders - might persuade the rest to steer clear of the 'others'.

I think I heard that this series is written along the same lines as the X Files and Twin Peaks ... i.e. they're making it up as they go along, not working to a predetermined story arc. They left it the way they did as it gives them maximum options for taking the story in various directions next series.

I'm a bit tired of it to be honest. I got bored with the snail's pace the story has unfolded at, and read up on how it ended on Wikipedia. I'll probably watch the next series if I'm in and there's nothing better on.

Hmmmm ... you did watch the second part that followed the first part didn't you? ??? The season finale? ???

I reckon the second series was MUCH better than the first - and that was brilliant! The cliffhanger in S2 was mind-blowing, I was intrigued by what 'Henry Gale' said to Michael, "Once you get to those co-ordinates you'll never find your way back" as if the island is somehow 'hidden' from the rest of the world. My guess is Michael and Walt won't take the boat to where they were told to - they'll pop up unexpectedly in S3.

Why are the Others pretending to be third-world villager types? What will happen to Eko and Locke? How did Desmond's wife know what to look out for? So many questions and I can't wait!

Hopefully none of my mates who have a "cousin in America" will spoil it for me....

Or I could be lying

Yes. A season finale which consisted of the Others taking passengers hostage - something they have done before; With Michael pursuing his own agenda at the expense of his 'friends' - something he has done before; with various characters witholding information from each other for no good reason - something they have all done before, and increasingly unlikely to be in any way realistic behaviour after the things they've gone through together; and to cap it all, the absolute last frame of the film, the cliffhanger itself, rests not on something seeded throughout any of the previous episodes, but on a character only introduced in a flashback in the final episode. It was hardly a big revelation, was it?

But never with so many main characters.

Only this time it came to an apparent conclusion.

I think the basis for the series is to be 'secretive' and 'mysterious' - that fits in with it.

Why? Which of the central characters can honestly say they are friends with each other?

So the writers chose this way to introduce a new character - nothing wrong with that! And what a way to introduce her!

Er, yes it was! We now finally see that someone in the outside world seems to be looking for them! It's unlikely it will lead to them being found but it puts paid to some of the theories of the show ie that they're all dead, that it's just a dream etc

lauzjp · 28-09-2006, 19:12

it definately reminds me of twin peaks.

Loved that programme... found this weird clip on youtube that had jj abrhams, stan lee, jason lee, mark hamil, and kevin smith sitting round a table... maybe you guys should check it out - search for 'dinner for five'. My other half loves lost - thinks i hate it, but secretly i'm watching it too!

SOSAGES · 29-09-2006, 09:48

so it all starts again soon..
another few months of watching every week in the hope someone explains something

And realising that no-one is going to explain anything ... but watching and hoping anyway ... which is the general idea of course.

I'm sure the writers/producers will find some convenient way for them to have survived it.

Locke & Eko are IMO two of the most interesting, & coolest, characters, & I doubt that the makers would get rid of them. Kate is dull, & Jack is even more dull. The only other character I think is particularly interesting is Sawyer.

LOL, yeah.

I really got quite bored with Lost during season 2, but persevered anyway in the naive & mistaken hope that they would actually resolve some of the many unresolved points.

I will still watch season 3, but if it doesn't get better then I'll be quite happy to ditch it. There's plenty of other quality US shows out there for me to follow, like Prison Break, Stargate, & BSG.

I used to be a huge fan of The X Files, but gave up on it around season 5 due to the increasingly convoluted conspiracy arc.
