Lost Season Finale

[Cthulhudrew]

We do, unless Desmond is a liar. He said he only had so many minutes to bury him...

Actually, that was Kelvin who said he only had so many minutes to bury his partner (who, IIRC, he said was the guy in the tape. Dr. Candle. At least, that's the inference I made.)

I have to admit being a little bummed that the button actually was for something, I was really hoping it was just some big psychological mind job. I did like that whole field full of reports from the Pearl hatch just laying in a pile. The Dharma Initiative doesn't look too eco-friendly do they?

Not to mention that it doesn't look as if they really care about what the people in 'the Pearl' are observing and/or doing. If someone was supposed to have been picking up those reports, they haven't done so in a long time. My bet is that they've never bothered to read them at all.

Which, of course, leads to the question of what the heck 'the Pearl' is supposed to exist for in the first place.

I think it is safe to say the DI is still got things running on the island. Why would there be food drops otherwise. What just happened when the Swan hatch pulsed could change all that. They may just want to ditch the whole place now.

Yes and no. Again, none of the notebooks have been picked up in a long time, if at all. Why are they still doing food drops and not collecting the observations? My guess would be that the only interest Dharma has in the island anymore is to make sure the button keeps getting pressed. They have probably abandoned absolutely everything else, and just drop the food down there to make sure the people pushing the button don't die off.

The implications of this theory are that a) the Others may not be connected to Dharma at all (like many people, myself included, have previously assumed), and b) someone must be making efforts to ensure that there is a steady stock of people to come and replace the button pushers on the island- maybe Widmore Industries has been contracted out for this purpose? (Hence, as someone else suggested, the "boat race")

And I've gone from just passively disliking Michael to actively hating him. That's the way to rais a son? Show him that it is ok to kill your friends and the people that help you in order to accomplish your goal, what ever it is? He's really shown himself to be a pretty dispicabale character.

I agree. I actually kind of liked him before the whole shooting incident, and all last night just found myself hoping that Hurley had secretly hidden a gun and was going to shoot him, or that the Others would blow up the boat, thus getting rid of two problems (the non-compliant Walt and the "evil" Michael).

Which leads me to ask the biggest question that the producers of Lost did not answer, and that no one has yet found the courage to ask, but that I know is weighing heavily on us all:

What is going to become of Vincent?

I like this theory, but the timeline is messed up. I think Hurley just won the millions and went to Australia to inquire about the origins of the numbers when he crashed. Before that he was working at a fried chkn joint and never mentioned being married.

Unless we just saw what Hurley believes to be true. But I'd say that this would be a very bad twist, since it would make any guessing pointless, since we will never know which "memories" are true, which are made up and which are just the result of a characters madness.

And, like I said way back in Season 1: for all the Lostaways know, there could be a resort over on the other side of the island...

The Lost Series Finale!

At last, the castaways are rescued!

Hurley's curse is ended!

Jack is reunited with his father!

Sawyer confronts the man who ruined his life!

All your questions are answered!

(who, IIRC, he said was the guy in the tape. Dr. Candle. At least, that's the inference I made.)

I don't think so. Kelvin's partner was a "J Razinski" (spelling). I don't think that's the same guy as in the tape.

SOLD!

Awwww....pooor Vincent. I hand't thought of that.

Over at SciFi the producers were talking some about Season 3 (more romance!) and other actually semi-spoilery stuff (consider yourself warned)

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?)

No. One flies across the south Pacific from Sydney to Los Angeles. Australia is located in the Pacific and Los Angeles is on the Pacific coast of the United States.

In the "review" show, someone said they were in a race across the Pacific (Gale? Wrong ocean!)

No, Steve, wrong ocean.

That would actually rock, in its own peculiar way...

Jack is reunited with his father!

So Jack dies?

I think the link between the folks picked by the Others are that they've all seen inexplicable things on the island. (Yes, that leaves out Charlie, Locke and Ecko, who've also seen the inexplicable.) Dave, Jack's father and the mysterious black horse have appeared to the four whom the Others asked for.

And yeah, Walt seems to be pretty clearly psychic and there are hints that Hurley is as well. I imagine that's the deal with Aaron as well.

Ok, I just went through the last hour and a half's worth of discussions (11 pages) at the above quoted link and NOBODY mentioned anything about another airplane crash after the credits. Not one word in almost 200 posts.

Plus, I've looked at both of my copies of the episode (one on tape and one downloaded) and there's nothing there.
