Lost Season Finale

In re: to the Portugese questions, my wife, who is Brazilian, states that the accent was Brazilian and not from Portugal. Of course, she is upset, because the actors are not native speakers and she feels that it ruins the moment for her. This actually happens more times than you'd think.

Good thing she doesn't speak Arabic, then. Finding enough Iraqi Arabs to do the Arabic language in the show hasn't happened -- it doesn't happen for anyone -- so it's a hodgepodge of accents with, for the most part, the right dialect in terms of words and phrases used.

So long as "American" is a synonym for "person who speaks only one language" most of the time, this isn't likely to change, whether it's Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish or whatever.

Kelvin mentioned that he didn't go to work for Dharma until after he'd left the army (apparently out of disgust at the way the "spook" trade worked). It's possible, but I got the impression that that wasn't the case.

Actually, given that he said he left the army because people were too keen to follow his orders, it sounds like he got a dishonorable discharge for issuing illegal orders.

I got more the impression that he made a lot of people do things that he later regretted, like making one Iraqi soldier torture another for some information, and he couldn't take it anymore and left. It could be both, though.

I wonder if Gale how much the Others really knew about the magnetic anomaly and the Hatch.
Gale claimed to Locke that the didn't touch the button. After this episode we can be relatively certain he did - but why did he say otherwise? Did he want to instill doubt into Locke, so, that sometime, when Gale would already be away from the Hatch, Locke would try it and not press the button? Did Gale believe nothing would happen, but didn't want to take the risk? Or did he want it destroyed?

I think he did want Locke to stop pushing the button and knew what would happen, the thing is we do not know what would have happened, as the fail safe was used, and I have to wonder how that will effect things, was the outcome the same or not? Locke could have easily found out if Henry was lying by looking at the log.

That may explain why he had that shocked pissed off look on his face

Now that Sawyer knows Hugo and Hurley are the same person will he start to treat him differently?

Probably not, since I'd almost forgotten what you were talking about. I doubt Sawyer will remember reading that little message, especially since soon thereafter he was shot and nearly blown up.

So yeah, I need a new current theory.

The Dharma initiative is devoted to helping the world, hence the schtick of "We're the good guys." Rosseau was part of the Dharma Initiative, but she went insane during the 'incident,' and she thought the rest of her group went insane so she ran away.

Season 1 was about surviving in the jungle, with hints that something else was up. Season 2 was about the hatch, with hints that it was part of something larger. Season 3 will be about the Dharma Initiative's role on the island and what all their history is. And Season 4 will be about the Truth, which is that the island has a portal to hell on it, and Dharma is trying to stave off the apocalypse.

Can someone remind me what the message Sawyer read said? I recall him reading messages from the bottle, but I don't recall the specifics.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Something to the effect "Who is Hugo and can you believe he's leaving his mother $54 million"

will Buffy come to save them?
