Lost Season Finale

[Geoff]

The rocky terrain where Desmond killed Kelvin looked new to me, and it has to be less than an hour away from the hatch, not the shore where the plane crashed. It could be on the Other's side of the island. That still is not an excuse as to why they didn't scout it out.

It could be a bit more than an hour assuming a slower pace getting to the boat and then Desmond high-tailing it back to the bunker.

I'm going with this theory: That the island was Atlantis millenia ago, occupied by very intelligent 4-digited humans.

The people at the Dharma Initiative found the place and originally used it as a technological and medical research site.

They tap the EM phenomenon for power but they foul something up and the "incident" occurs forcing them to rely on a manually operated computer program, with a fail-safe mechanism that will destroy the phemonenon if things get worse.

(Possibly something similar caused Atlantis to sink, then re-emerge centuries later - surprising many people on a boat called "Black Rock".)

The Others are remnants of the research team that stuck around to prevent even worse disasters, even though they have no funding beyond parachuted supplies.

The island is in the South Pacific, near Antarctica, but it doesn't suffer from the arctic-climate because of the "specialness" of the island, possibly volcanic in nature. This fits with the polar-bear existance (I'm waiting for penguins now), and the Russian fellows at the end of the episode are in a research station on Antarctica relatively near the island.

But then again, I've had theories before that were shot out of the water.

And Locke isn't dead, yet.
He hasn't had the flash-back episode where he gets paralyzed.
And my bet for that episode: It will revolve around how his father screwed him yet again, and the thugs that were after his father shoot him for his aid in taking their money.

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.

I'm not entirely sure why you're convinced that we're attempting to lie to you.

I found one person posting about it on tv.com's forums on page 13. That said, I have two tivos and one comcast DVR, and I've now figured out what happened: the affiliate screwed up on the HD feed. The crash sequence we saw was the tail plane crashing, probably on an accidental rerun on from the HDTV feed. My SDTV copies have several seconds of black screen after the credits...which coincides with when my wife and I saw the tail crash on the big TVs over the Comcast DVR. That would explain why so few people saw it.

My suspicion is that ABC accidentally restarted one of the clip shows by accident. Did the clip show start with the tail crash? Since I have the TiVos set to record a couple of minutes in either direction (due to ABCs attempts to defeat TiVo in the past) I caught the black screen whereas the Comcast box cut out at exactly 11, missing it.

The quite i inputed is from someone who posted from 930 to 10
I also found someone else whom saw it. They said it looked like a capsule of some kind. LInding proof that it might be sometype of satelite or space capsul

I never accused anyone of lying. I was merely saying that it was likely a misinterpretation of what was being seen based on the fact that only a relative handful of people saw it. If it were truly something done by the Lost creators, it would certainly have been more widely witnessed and definately more widely discussed by people afterwards. As is, this is the only place I've seen it even mentioned.

And this is pretty much exactly what I said was probably the case in post 124 above. And, though I don't have the episode available to back it up, I believe the clip show seen before the finale starts off with the tail section hitting the water.

Yes, it does. The "shuttle crash" scene sounds exactly like the tail crash scene. I'll assume they're the same thing, until we get more proof that says otherwise.

The the people on the frozen wastelan were speaking Portuguese or Brazilian.

Also the Pilot said in the first season, they traveled north northeast from Sidney to LA then headed in a westerly direction towards Fiji.

This episode Desmond said Fiji should be a weeks sailing west from the island.

The island is nowhere near the arctic or antarctic.

I kind of like the Atlantis-type island theory.

I just watched the episode over at ABC.com and nothing was shown after the credits. The clip ends after the "Bad Robot" slogon

I was pissed at work today so I goofed off more than normal, as of about 3pm today I had dug through about 20 pages of posts here: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=265286&page=28 and having read now up to page 28, I didn't see a single person mention seeing a second crash after the credits. Sounds like it was the HD glitch someone mentioned above.
