Hulk's spoilers don't seem all that realistic to me. I won't ruin it for anybody, but I'm not totally on board.

This is from the six leaked pages of the finale script. After reading those, I'm even more convinced it's fake.At least I hope, because what's on those pages seems to be laughably bad.
Nope, not implying it ties it up nicely. I don't know exactly what MIB was thinking at every turn. What I am trying to say is that in a couple seconds I was able to come up with reasonable explanations for things people were talking about as not making sense at all.Also, for your question, don't forget that MIB's #1 goal was to kill Jacob. Widmore, Ben, Locke, Jack, etc. were all meaningless except to get Jacob killed. If Ben, who MIB was grooming to kill Jacob, wanted help from MIB after Alex is killed, do you think MIB would help him? Of course he would and now he also has the image of Alex, which MIB used, to keep Ben on the path to kill Jacob. So, attacking Widmore's team after killing Alex was actually instrumental to MIB's plan since he used the image of Alex to accomplish his plan. Make sense now?Bugs, you are implying that this ties up neatly - and I am not sure it does - it may tie up but loosely at best.If MIB wanted Widmore's group gone why wait until they are attacking Ben? He had would have had plenty of opportunities.I am so glad I stayed out of this thread after all of the intense whining started.Mario Kart is a fanboy and has some unique ideas sometimes, but are people actually saying that smokey/MIB going after Keamey's team is in any way a whole in the writing. Let's inspect it a bit:1. Keamey's team was WIDMORE'S team, i.e. the same guy MIB is in direct conflict right now. Gee, hmm, kind of makes sense that he would go after his arch enemy's team.2. Ben was manipulated by MIB to KILL JACOB. Gee, hmm, kind of makes sense that MIB would help the same guy he plans to use to help him kill his other arch enemy.Seriously people, think a little bit before just complaining all the time. Even if you argue about Ben summoning him, we have seen that the Others had security fences, so it seems reasonable that Ben would have to let him in somehow to have him help.

Reads pretty much what I expect a Lost script to read like. A lot of lines on the show are pretty cheesy.

What's your source here? i'm not denying credibility, but i'm just curious. I'm sure you are spot on.For this, leaked script pages.If its not authentic, then it was a foiler put out by the show intentionally.

I'm sure you are spot on.I know there was an event in LA this past week where they screened the penultimate episode for a bunch of super-nerds, with a lot of the writers/cast there. I'm guessing it's a report from that.The earlier one was from that.This one, is for the FINALE, which hasn't been screened.
6 script pages and a call sheet leaked though.

I don't doubt that those pages and call sheet came from the show.The only question is if they were planted as foilers.
Back in season 2 they leaked a fake script page online that was about zombies over running the island. This could be similar.
But I think I lean 90% that its legit.

One of the creators of LOST was on the Bill Simmons podcast.
Simmons asked him how does he think the ending will stack up and I'm paraphrasing here but the creator said
It depends on the type of fan you are. If you have a checklist of questions that you are waiting to be answered, you are probably going to be disappointed. If you are a fan who is just enjoying the ride and not asking lots of questions, you will like the ending.
Just an FYI. Sounds like they'll be leaving a lot of stuff open ended

1st...I disagree its gone downhill much.2nd...my defense is simple...the writers have done pretty damn well on this show...despite your constant whining about it.3rd...people like you have been claiming they would chase off so many for how long now? And yet, people are still watching...and the series DVD will sell millions of copies.Its obvious the writers are a lot smarter than you and know what they are doing to create a hit TV show.
Great explanation, bugs - but I think it's a little much for the writers to expect the veiwers to put that together on a casual watch - plus who knows if it's even right? Kudos to you for thinking it through.Nope, not implying it ties it up nicely. I don't know exactly what MIB was thinking at every turn.

Well...my criticism is of your criticism...not of you personally.
I find your criticism to be basically whining and acting as if you could do better (as evidenced by the Egyptian gods post).
I find it quite humorous too that a person is that critical of a show and constantly saying what is bad about it...yet they keep watching it for years.
Just seems odd really.

Here's the thing; I'm not that critical of the Lost writers, because I've generally been OK with what they've done. Have I loved everything they've done? No. But, overall, I've been quite happy with what they've produced over the past 6 years so I'm OK with not loving everything they've done and I have a reasonable amount of faith that they'll wrap it up to my satisfaction. If they don't, well that's my problem, now isn't it?The show, by definition, is complex. Even with a master plan, there are going to be loose ends since there's such a list of interconnected and intertwined stories. As I've stated many times, the central themes of the show are: fate vs. free will, good vs. evil and redemption. Hell, Charlie had the word "FATE" written on his hand in the pilot episode!Regardless of DHARMA, heiroglyphics and all that, these themes remained the same. If you're not OK with what they've done, that's your right. What I'm saying is that as long as the series ends and gives a reasonable conclusion (completely subjective based on my opinion) that has to do with those themes and the central characters, I'll be happy.I know you did it off the cuff, and my response was mostly in jest. But it also illustrated a point that even your most preferred/logical explanation would have a lot of holes that people would also question. This just in, you can't please everyone.You see, I don't think his powers come from the drink - I think the powers or whatever he has came from the incantation Mother performed before he drank. But whatever. Believing he got powers from a drink or incantation really isn't that different from accepting that he's an Egyptian God, IMO.But again, you've got your opinion and you're entitled to it and I'm not really going to debate this any further. You've got it in your head that you don't like what they've done or are currently doing and you're setting yourself up to be disappointed in whatever happens. That's fine—but just because you have that opinion doesn't mean everyone has to share that same opinion or that you have to convince them that their opinion is wrong. I know I'm not going to convince you otherwise, and that's fine. Just try to remain somewhat objective and just enjoy the ride.

After watching the last episode....without knowing anything about the last 3.5 hours....I'd have done the following:
#1 Scrap the sideways flashes altogether
#2 Scrap Across The Sea (and possibly Ab Aeterno based on how much content needed to fulfill #3)
#3 Replace the above with:
a. Flashbacks to The Across The Sea story (more detail, less ambiguity).
b. More Widmore/Ben/Richard (and Desmond....something might have to be different about his special abilities though).
c. Possibly flashbacks to the Ab Aeterno story and maybe a few more "answers" that people crave mixed in. Ab Aeterno could stand alone though still.
I realize the sideways flashes are going to probably be an integral part of the finish, and they helped bring "back" characters, but I think it might have been better without them. I'm not disappointed by the season, I've enjoyed it alot. But I think this way would have been better AND it wouldn't alter a major plotline (besides the sideways flashes and maybe the overall end game), or even minor, that I can tell. It would actually have felt more like the early seasons, which some people in here think are so much greater than the last few seasons (I'm not one of them).
Thoughts? Off base?

The whole script isn't leaked, just 6 pages from near the begining of the 2.5 hour episode.

Not to beat this thing but it is different - one is explained and one is not. Right now, the explanation is some crazy woman with no apparent source of power took a normal human being and elevated him to a God-like status (I think preventing people from commiting suicide half way around the world and the fountain of youth in his touch are God-like) by having him drink from an unexplained wine (or cantation or whatever).I'm not advocating my concept - it's more about what's wrong with what they are giving us - which is nothing (thus far).I know people have stated some of that may yet to be explained - I personally hope we don't visit the origin of Jacob and MIB again - because I don't think there is a payoff.Happy watching tonight.

OMG, Claire is in the house and Desmond is acting as if he is with Oceanic. WTF?
OMG, Widmore walked into Ben's house. More C4 or is this the initial C4 that MIB took from the plane? Might be seeing a flashback while seeing the present on this show.

No surprise that Jack is the next Jacob but I'm still glad the writers are following through on his logical character development.

Essentially since Jack is now like Jacob, MIB will have to find a loophole now to kill Jack. MIB's only way out now is to destroy the island because there is now another protector of the island.
Still need to find out who Jack's ex is.

I agree. If they had moved last week's episode earlier in the season and gone with this episode right after Sayid, Sun and Jin died they would be on a major roll heading into the finale. Instead, we had the speed bump episode last week that knocked the momentum out of whack. Good thing they got back on track tonight.

Looking forward to Sunday night.
Tonight was a great episode. But I think I missed the segment where Jack, Sawyer, and Kate asked Jacob what is significant about the light, why couldn't people find it before, what happens if/when it is extinguished, etc and so on? And where Jack asked Jacob if he will grow old while performing the job or will it take centuries, or can he leave the island like Jacob did when he was recruiting candidates?
If Jack is successful in killing badlocke, why will he still need to hang around and protect the light... from whom?
Looking forward to see how the timelines work out.

Maybe after they get that first glimpse of the other life and break the seal, they begin to remember more and more.Starting to think Desmond may have dual citizenship and realization of both timelines at the same time.(Think Whoopi Goldberg on Star Trek)Hurley knew Ana though.

I think Jack figured out when Jacob told him that he'd do this job as long as he could that this would be the last job he was ever going to have. I don't think we're ever going to learn how Jacob was able to leave the island (major question that was posed week that shouldn't have been) but I'm fine with this explanation as far as Jack realizing he now is part of the island and whatever world existed for him before has now ceased to exist. It's been his destiny all along.

I think the other timeline that Desmond saw, lived through via The Constant is this timeline.

I'm assuming the concert is the one Jack's son is playing at and the same one Miles is going to. Somehow all of them are going to end up there.

There hasn't been much rhyme or reason so far; why start now? Charlotte wasn't after Sawyer and yet ...Plus, Juliet is in "V"
