Lost Season Finale

Kelvin and Hobbes?

Interesting.

This could bring on a whole new set of theories...

We already have the snowmen angle.

Don't Brazilians speak portugese? I know they were a colony of Portugal, and Portugese is the official language of Brazil.
I don't mean to be rude, but I split hairs about this kind of stuff
from all of the "Where are they?" hulabaloo, unless they are WAY off course, they are in the South Pacific. Judging from the most direct path to LA, They are pretty far off of Brazil itself (heck they're pretty far from S.A.)
Just thought I'd contribute my knowledge (geography) to this mess.
bye

Yeah I guess if you want to split hairs they do speak Portuguese, but being Portuguese myself, there is a slight difference in pronunciation.

I do agree with you that they are somewhere near the south pacific closer to Asia then south America

When the four were captured by the others, they were a few shots of a girl with black curly hair. Is that Rousseau's daughter? I bet she helps them escape the Other's compound next season.

Yes. We've seen her a couple of times before this season. I think the first time was when we had flashbacks to Claire in the medical hatch, and Alex helped her escape.

I don't see why the monitoring station would need to be anywhere near the island. As far as I know, you'd be more likely to pick up electromagnetic fluctuations at the poles, or in space, or on Everest, or whatever.

It's very possible (though by no means guaranteed, with at little as those two spoke) for a Brazillian or a person from Portugal to tell whether the Portuguese being spoken is from one country or the other, depending on accents and slang and such, so perhaps someone has done so, or will.

There's no reason to believe that the Portuguese-speaking fellows were in a country that speaks Portuguese, but if you want something in the general South Pacific area you could try Macau or East Timor, both still controlled (at least in part) by Portugal fairly late in the last century (70s). But neither place is snowy, certainly.

I just what the clip again over at ABC.com and they are speaking with more of a Brazillian accent. It threw me off a little though, because when one of them screams to "shut up and call help" there almost seems to be no accent there

As far as characters with the names of philosophers goes, the short-lived TV show Harsh Realm had a main character named Thomas Hobbes. Oddly enough, the villian in the show was General Santiago, played by none other than Terry O'Quinn, the actor who plays John Locke on Lost.

(Of course, that still doesn't really help explain the polar bears, unless one assumes they were transplanted to a "similar" climate to the arctic north).

I think the 'transplant' theory is the accepted one, based on information on the invisible map (ie. the polar bears were genetically modified and transplanted for massive climate change studies).

Whew, tons of LOST info at:

I just spent some time wandering around looking at pictures. Plus they have a lot of stuff about the whole 'LOST Experience'

Elizabeth is Libby, Libby is short for Elizabeth.

David is Dave, Dave is short for David.

Elizabeth was married to David, Libby was married to Dave

Hurley killed Dave

Libby goes crazy and or goes into psych house to get her revenge on Hurley

but she falls in love with him

or it was all a plan

It took us by suprise, as well. The credits were rolling, with an odd message about news and such coming up....and then a shot of a beach on the island (which I assumed was a commercial)...and then suddenly the tail section of a plane comes flying down to smash into the surf, just like the tailies. At first I thought it was a space shuttle from it's angle of approach and shape.

We rewound on the DVR to watch it again, to make sure of what we'd seen. Unfortunately, Lost Media only has half the episode up in screenshots, or I'd link to it. I think a LOT of people were blindsided by it. I can't imagine SOMEONE didn't catch it. If I don't see it, I'll bring it up on the DVR and take somes photo of it to show.

Is it possible you're thinking of the hatch, which came tumbling out of the sky and almost hit Charlie and Claire? But that happened *before* the guys in Siberia or whatever were shown..

The stupidity of the Lostaways still bothers me, though. Not finding Desmond's sailboat (even though it was less than an hour away - I don't buy any "hiding it" explanation, as the Lostaways have clearly found small hidden things all over the place. Whatever). 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...


I didn't see it either during or at the end of the episode (my station went straight to the news), but I actually did see this scene shown in some Lost previews during the plast week (on the Canadian network). It did indeed look like a space shuttle. Weird.

Well, there might be a resort on the other side of the island, but there definitely is some form of beast/security system in the jungle, which has a habit of eating people it runs across. Of course, only once did it definitely eat someone....the pilot. It ate Shannon in a dream, which nobody would remember anyways, since it was Boone who dreamed it, and he's dead. Two others have encountered it and lived (ie. Ekko and Locke). But seeing one person get killed messily might be enough to make the rest cautious about running around in the jungle.

I think the bigger inhibitor is the presence of the Others.....every time the Lostaways meet them, the Others kick them in the nuts and take their lunch...or their people, or their guns, or whatever. Maybe the Lost are really refraining from exploring too far, because they're scared of the consequences..
