Lost Season Finale

[Steverooo]

Vague Recollections...

Originally, we learned that Oceanic flight 815 went down about an hour out of Fiji, between Sydney, Australia, and Los Angeles, California, USA. That tends to put the island somewhere in the South Atlantic... (right?) In the "review" show, someone said they were in a race across the Pacific (Gale? Wrong ocean!), Desmond was on a race (around the world?), and the girl told him that her husband wanted to sail their boat to the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, the MA (Magnetic Anomoly) is detected in an (Ant-)Arctic clime...

Okay, that narrows it down to... just about anywhere!

Goodwin = Good One?

Gale is just a big blow-hard!

"The Good Guys" seem to want killers, alright! Jack is probably Ex-Military or CIA, etc. Why didn't they want Sayid, though? Hurley didn't even want a gun, and didn't attack Michael, even when provoked. HE'S NO FUN!

So... what are they doing with psychic kids (Alex?) & killers?

Does Michael even have Walt?!? If the kid can bilocate, what he has may not be Walt!...

We don't know that the hatch has been destroyed, nor that anyone's dead. Yes, we saw a big flash of light, but no explosion, no mushroom cloud, and CERTAINLY no bodies. Can magnetism kill? Maybe (Magneto in X-Men II), but I doubt it. Neither is it necessarily an EMP that destroys electronics... The boat's ignition seemed to work just fine! Next season (probably episode 2) will tell us, but I see no reason to even suspect that Eko and/or Locke are dead. Even Desmond, unless that key explodiated sump'n (and I see no reason to believe that, either).

What's going on? Carebear research into the Fundamental Substructure is as good a guess as any (although, if so, I HATE Carebears)!

Last episode we learned of Miss Klugh, but this episode we learn of Miss Dee Klugh.

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

They (the show producers) need to kill more characters.

So it's possible this whole island is like the "Truman Show" now?

That has more or less been my theory all along.

And do we know Kelvin is dead? By the way, a temperature given in kelvins, without further qualification, is measured with respect to absolute zero, where molecular motion stops. Further, William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, was an Irish-Scottish mathematical physicist and engineer, an outstanding leader in the physical sciences of the 19th century. He did important work in the mathematical analysis of electricity and thermodynamics, and did much to unify the emerging discipline of physics in its modern form.

I wonder if that (mathematical analysis of electricity and thermodynamics) has anything to do with his work on the island....

Did Jack ever kill anybody?

Jack euthanized U.S. Marshal Edward Mars in Pilot, pt II.

And do we know Kelvin is dead?

We do, unless Desmond is a liar. He said he only had so many minutes to bury him... Of course, this is TV, so he could have "recovered", and pulled himself out of the shallow grave, but Desmond had the time to "confirm his kill", so that's pretty unlikely, even on TV.

No, he killed him, and took his stuff!

No actually that would put you in the south Pacific

If Desmond caused the plane crash then all the backstory and why they were on the plane didn't matter (Unless we are looking at predestination or unchangeable fate) or if he didn't cause the plane to crash because the others arrainged for it and everyone to be onboard then his not pushing the button was an amazing coincedence.

That's one thing that really bothered me about this episode... We were SUPPOSED to learn why everyone was on the plane, and we didn't! All we learned was why the plane crashed. Not why they were selected. Maybe Episode One, next season...?

 

[Taelorn76]

Man would she and he have to both been (in his case still be) seriously crazy for this to work. But it is a cool scenario.

She is just crazy in love and commited herself to be near her husband, and he just has 2 personalities, not all that crazy

I never heard that promo. I always heard you find out why the plane crashed, not why they were on the plane.

I recommend that if anyone who does have this phantom ending with the second plane/shuttle crashing on their Tivo or DVR type device should find a way to post it ASAP if it exists. I suspect however that none of the people who say they have seen it will in fact post such a thing. My own DVR showed nothing of the kind however. It went from Penny's reaction to the call to the Lost title, then credits rolling on a bar at the bottom with local channel info and rolled right into local news. If they did cut it, they'd get serious fan backlash.

I did finally go to the "Hanso" site and was amused by the jobs listed.

If our DVR didn't stop recording right before it (meaning the credits ran late, after the 11pm end time), I'd be happy to post it. We weren't expecting anything like that to appear. I do wish you might be a little less rude and not assume we are all lying about it.

I never saw the (supposed?) debris fall after the last shot of Penny, but it seems kind of odd to me to have two major surprise scenes at the end of the episode.

As for the Widmore name, it also features in the tie-in novel Bad Twin by Gary Troup. I'm not far into the novel yet, but it has been mentioned that the Widmores have some projects on the go with the Hanso Foundation. Now, there's obviously going to be some differences between the novel and the show, but I'm sure that some of the novel's info will be used on the show, otherwise why introduce it?
