Lost - Season Finale *Spoilers*

[Hand of Evil]

Looks like a lot of stuff in that ship that could be useful! I think we will be seeing a return.

All those nice (unrusted) chains in the ship plus some lightly rusted mining equipment. I could see a pack of gamers going for the loot.

A wooden sailing ship carrying slaves ... That has to be well over 100 years old. There must be some sort of time travel involved. There's no way a wooden ship can survive in a jungle that long.

Its also pretty tough for 40 or so plane crash victims to survive with barely a scratch on them. The island is weird. Weird I tell ya.....

I'm starting to develop a new theory on where they are. One of last week's screenshots on the official site is the back end of The Black Rock. Beneath the name it says Portsmouth. Looked it up, and it's a town in New Hampshire. Can't imagine an african slave ship sailing through the pacific to hit the east coast. Perhaps they discovered some sort of Pacific ocean version of the Bermuda triangle, with both regions going to the same island. Kind of far fetched, but would explain all the crashed ships.

 

[Rugger]

The monster had a very machine sound to it, The Black Rock had mining equipment on it...Nemo where is your island?

Hehe! I sooooo wanted to see some sort of Ray Harryhausen-esque beastie... and find out that they are on Captain Nemo's 'Mysterious Island', but alas it wasn'tmeant to be.

Instead the 'monster' is some sort of cloaked.....something.

Hmmm...the producers did do their main job right: I will be eagerly awaiting next season

What about the discussions the characters had on this being a place where fate is punishing them?

 

[Wolf72]

I didn't really get to watch much of this ... the other half was more interested in watching American Idol


what do the numbers mean?

the 'monster' seemed somewhat mechanical

We still don't know.

It sounded like it was but it looked like a big, black puff of smoke.

 

[Rel]

Actually, when he (Charlie) was back to the cave with Claire and ther baby, the camera panned back and you saw the top of a Virgin Mary statue sticking out of his backpack. Since those are all filled with bags of heroin, I think we can pretty much guess what he plans one doing with it....

Johnathan

You're probably right. But I have one alternative theory that might be an interesting twist.

What if Charlie recognized the fact that the Virgin Mary statues are the only artifact they've seen so far on the island that resembles a toy (a doll) or has any religious signifcance. Charlie seems to come from a Catholic background and, although he's clearly made some sinful choices throughout his life, he may see some value in giving that statue to Claire for Aaron. So perhaps he emptied the heroin from it and brought back only the statue.

I'm not saying this is likely but it would put a twist on what was clearly a cliffhanger of sorts. The only thing that in any way corroborates this idea is that the statue was very clearly sticking out of his bag. Assuming that he had wanted to keep his secret secret, he would have made sure it was tucked away where Sayid couldn't see it (and assuming that the story of the contents of the plane has gotten around then he wouldn't want anybody else to see it either).

 

[reveal]

Considering the religious themes running through the show, perhaps Charlie will take it as a sign that he is being tested. He will choose the Virgin Mary statue over the heroin (good over evil) and try to become a better person.
