That reminds me, did anyone see the article in Slate about the identical male twins in Europe who make pr0ns "together"? :XWhy did the force allow Leia to kiss her brother like that?Why didn't the Death Star just warp to a point that had a direct shot at the rebel moon?
The Dharma people had been killed by the Others. However, the Others didn't know about the Hatch, or where is was - despite Dharma still making food drops somehow to Desmond.
If this is your way of ensuring that no one ever uses Star Wars as a reference point for anything, well played.That reminds me, did anyone see the article in Slate about the identical male twins in Europe who make pr0ns "together"?Why did the force allow Leia to kiss her brother like that?Why didn't the Death Star just warp to a point that had a direct shot at the rebel moon?
Contention is fine, but I was hoping for something tangible. If you want to have a hunch or a feeling that's your right, but I still think there is a lot more tangible evidence that the island was always real life and intended to be that from the beginning. I am still all ears to listen to your thoughts if you can point me to anything you think signals switching gears. I got shuke's thoughts, but as I said before, if a show switched gears you shouldn't first notice it in season 6.
No, it was just kind of a throwaway thought. Maybe one of the more disturbing things I've ever heard about.If this is your way of ensuring that no one ever uses Star Wars as a reference point for anything, well played.That reminds me, did anyone see the article in Slate about the identical male twins in Europe who make pr0ns "together"? :XWhy did the force allow Leia to kiss her brother like that?Why didn't the Death Star just warp to a point that had a direct shot at the rebel moon?
Hey 'bugs, been a big fan of you and HULK in these threads, solid work all six seasons

It has been fun. HULK was awesome. I usually didn't partake of some of his super huge spoilers, but loved his research. Even though FCL (can't recall his first Seinfeld alias) got testy sometimes, he had a lot of good posts. Too many people to mention, although I love packersfan as well. Not because we always seemed to agree, but because I still like his pic. Heck, in this season I am pretty sure I mentioned a couple times how much I missed Levin. Not knocking anyone, but I think it is a testament to the series winding down and the discussion level dying down when The Dude and Dentist quadrupled the number of posts from me (and I have posted a lot the last couple days) and HULK in a Lost thread.ABC issued a press release stating that they inserted the images of the plane without consulting with the creators of the show as a "cushion" to the late news. The last image of the show was supposed to be Jack closing his eye, thus esentially making the rest of what this guy wrote impossible to believe as originating from the Bad Robot production company.. Also, nobody, but season 1 people in the Church?? Desmond, Penny, Libby??
Keep reading - you are trying to point out a discrepancy that doesn't exist.
Regardless, it doesn't matter whether or not you believe that it's a dude from Bad Robot -- the content of his post is the important part. He nailed it.
Actually, I do think that the creators said early on that everything that was happening on the island could be explained scientifically. That, of course, went out the window at some point.
I think his status as a "Bad Robot" employee is extremely relevant, no? The post is being written as someone who allegedly had inside knowledge, when it is clear that the author of this post did not.I'm not saying it doesn't have good or interesting ideas, but lots of people here do, and by posing as a Bad Robot employee, he is writing as if he "knows" things regarding motivation, when in relaity it appears that he is merely speculating like the rest of us.
People took notes during this show?
This was a show about relationships. You totally missed the boat on it.
So, opening the "supermovie" with the main character's eye opening in a bamboo field after miraculously surviving a plane crash, on an island that is basically magical, his long journey from a man of science to a man of faith and his ultimate sacrifice so the island and his friends stays safe, and his eye closing as he dies in the same field he woke up in isn't a "single coherent supermovie?"The other characters the main character lived with and interacted with were also on a journey of self-discovery and they needed each other to come to this self-realization. The introduction of sub-plots, hatches, additional characters, etc. were all there to push these characters in one direction or another and to help them find their way.This is what the show's main themes were since the pilot episodes. So many other mysteries, characters and plots were introduced over the course of 6 seasons that many people lost track of the main theme and focused on the finer details, and I'm not saying that's right or wrong or good or bad. That's just what happened, but whether a magic light cave was introduced in the last episode or the first doesn't matter as the key themes and redemptive story arcs continued through the show until its conclusion.We can quibble about when things should have been shown or what should or shouldn't have been answered, but at the end of the day, Lost generally stayed true to its fundamental nature from Season 1 until the finale.
Misleading, yes. Cheap, no. It's intended to make you think that there was an alternative timeline created when the bomb went off so that you don't diagnose that it's actually a purgatory that you're seeing.
Apparently none as they're actually Matthew Fox's real tattoos.
Read on in my post."So many other mysteries, characters and plots were introduced over the course of 6 seasons that many people lost track of the main theme and focused on the finer details, and I'm not saying that's right or wrong or good or bad."
I'm pretty sure you reached this conclusion long before the finale even aired and nothing short of a collegehumor-like answer video would have made you happy.
This, although if Bernard sat down for two and a half hours while doing a root canal, and explained a list of "unanswered" questions one by one, that might have made him happy.
This would rule.
This was the best I came up with, from a post earlier in the thread:The last scene in Season 5 was Juliet detonating Jughead. When Season 6 opens we almost immediately see the island underwater. The logical conclusion, and I think the path the writers wanted us to go down, was that the detonation led to the sinking of the island. This set us up to believe throughout Season 6 that the Sideways World was an actual bone and marrow place, and kept us wondering all along how the two "realities" would eventually be reconciled. So we go through Season 6 with the false assumption that the Sideways World is a real place, and not what, in my interpretation, it turned out to be ... a sort of afterlife "waiting room" where people can gather with those who meant the most to them in life for a journey into whatever afterlife awaits. What we come to find out is that the Sideways World isn't "real." There is no island in that world, and the writers chose to use a visual of the island underwater to represent that idea. We just didn't know it until the very end.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I came up with. Pretty ####ty story-telling, IMO.
Seriously? You're angry because the climax of the story didn't occur at the beginning of the season?I mean really - were you upset that they didn't tell you Bruce Willis' character was dead at the beginning of The Sixth Sense? Should Verbal Kint have told Detective Kujan that he was really Keyser Soze when he first started talking?
If they had just started showing the flash-sideways alongside the normal timeline, that would've been fine. But deliberately making Purgatory World appearing to be a result of the bomb is weak IMO. Big difference.
Agreed.
Why is it weak? Because they led people on?Seems like it was a perfect plot device...nobody had a clue thats what the sideways world was.
