LOST discussion - thar be spoilers ahead!

[pixletwin]

How did you watch it as enhanced?

Edit: just checked my local TV schedule.. I had no idea they were replaying it.

 

[dharper]

just had to watch the enhanced finale.

end scene still gets me......

Same here. Great finale. I think it's poetic that they stopped the pop ups for the last twenty minutes. It lets people come to their own conclusions instead of spelling it out for them.

 

[pixletwin]

Anything interesting revealed in the pop ups or was it mostly "catch up" type of stuff?

 

[Giant Chicken]

any explanation as to why the island was under water? I feel stupid that I can't figure that one out. It is the only thing that I currently do not like about the last season.

 

[LOTRFan]

I think the island was sunk the sideways world, i.e. not important anymore in the purgatory the characters were working through. .

 

[tomandshell]

I haven't found a satisfactory explanation to this one yet--particularly since Ben and his father discussed the fact that they had left the Island at some point previously in the sideways timeline/universe.

 

[Tyler]

The only thing I can think of is that the sideways universe was made up by the characters. If they made it up then anything can be possible I suppose.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Nah. This is best left for us to imagine. Their comments to each other at the end were perfect.

Absolutely perfect & touching.

That scene told you that a true friendship had developed between.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Been working my way through season 6 online the past week and just watched the finale.

Thought it was amazing and wonderfully touching. My eyes are sore now.

I didn't follow your link (i know, i know... then why am I offering my 2cents...), but the way I interpretted it (and I do believe it is open to everyone's own interpretation) was that when the survivors all gathered in the church and eventually walked into the light together, they were transferred back to the light in the cave, and then redistributed throughout the world. Essentially reincarnated. Which I like, because the whole concept of the Sideways world ended up being very Catholic (Western) in construct... they even met at the sideways version of Eloise Hawkings Catholic church. The idea that once they go into the light they are redistibuted through the light on the island and their energy transferred into new beings is very Buddhist (Eastern). I like that both ideas (Purgatory and Reincarnation) are present within Losts spirituality.

Read the link. it's short.

Josh Holloway (Sawyer) is in talks to star in a Marvel movie related to the Avengers....they say either Hank Pym/Ant-man or Hawkeye.

I had a dream last night that ABC surprised us with a new episode of LOST that picked up right where the finale ended.

Dreams can be so mean sometimes.

 

[pixletwin]

That episode would comprose of this:

Jack walks to the home of his father to play a game of backgammon, while Sawyer joins a heavenly choir despite being tone deaf. Kate goes running for fun while Hurley wishes there was more ranch dressing in heaven.

He should have been Gambit...he's pretty perfect for that

Actually it would be the story of Kate, Sawyer, Lapidus, Claire, Myles and Richard and what they did when they landed. Where did Richard go? What did Myles do with the diamonds? Will Lapidus ever fly again? How did Kate and Sawyer not end up together?

We could have fun stories about Hurley and Ben rebuilding the island. With Hurley's powers, did he build a chicken restaurant on the island worked by ghosts to feed his fried chickens needs? Did Ben ever try to backstab Hurley?

I must know these things!!! (Well, not really)

 

[pixletwin]

 

[Darthrazz]

Don't know if this was discussed, but what story did Lapidus and crew tell the public and authorities when their plane landed ??

Kristin from E! has always been a little

This Light is the good place you go to after you die where you get to reconnect with your loved ones in the afterlife. You can call it heaven, Nirvana, or whatever you like. It's the most beautiful place you will ever see.

If the Light on the island goes out, you don't get to be with your loved ones when you die. They simply "cease to exist." And that is a very bad thing.

Putting aside the fact that this sounds like it was written by a second grader, she's making some interpretive leaps that I don't necessarily agree with.

The first Protector we met, Jacob, was sweet but a total dumbass who did exactly what his mother told him not to, and threw his brother Samuel (also called the Man in Black) into the Light.

I'm glad she likes the name Samuel, but that was never once mentioned on the show.

There were no pure souls or babies on the island (because of electromagnetic fallout from the "incident" in 1977 that caused fertility issues).

Again, she's making an assumption that may or may not be true. Is she suggesting that the fertility issues only happened in the last two and a half decades of Jacob's time on the Island? Because if that's the case, he had almost 2000 years of healthy baby-making to work with before the Incident. I get the feeling that the fertility and baby issues on the Island go way, way back. (We were told that the Dharma people were taken back to the mainland for childbirth. Even before the Incident, they were getting pregnant women off the Island before delivery.) And why is Kristin referring to "pure souls" when Jacob specifically explained that he chose the candidates because they were flawed?

The Protector can also change the weather, sometimes subconciously,

Now she's just talking out of her butt.
