Lost *spoilers*

You know I've always wondered why he hasn't shown up in flashbacks more often. I know there was a deleted scene with him and Claire but still

I hope they show why it wasn't Frank flying at first. If he was supposed to fly to the island at first, then why did Greg Grunberg have to do it and why did he have to die? Frank was supposed to come back or at least be there... Right?

I'm sure we'll see that.


So last night I was thinking about the Swan and how exactly would they contain that energy. And I thought they put some sort of plug on it and it erupted, so they needed a relief system(the button). Than I thought why would they cover the entrance to the magnetic plug in cement. I think that a minor second incident happened during their tests that created the need for the computer released some nuclear radiation from the bomb. And that's why there is containment suit, not for some biological disease, but to protect them for and radiation that leaked out. Which could explain why they were so adamant on the test subjects staying protected and probably why the Swan was so separated from the rest of the DI.

Also
I have a feeling that LA X starts off as a seemingly timeline rest but turns into a strange dream Jack has, much like the start of the episode Fire+Water


EDIT:
Okay this is hilarious and reveals the title of the first episode of season 6 at the very end

John Hawkes of Eastbound and Down/Deadwood fame has joined the cast as Lennon, a corporate type who is a crafty bargainer for a foreign country or something
 
I was thinking today about which Lost question I would consider to be the one that they had to answer... And I couldn't really nail any one down. The thing is, there are questions, but at this point, I couldn't tell you what they were.

For one thing, did they answer how Locke's dad was brought to the island?

The Monster. At this point I can gather the meaning of everything else. But what the monster is just puzzles me

No, nothing about the magic box either. If they don't explain it I would guess it was the Others who brought him there to test John.
 
Emerson was saying at an SDCC interview that he hopes not all the answers are given because he'd like for some mystery to say as such. That's not a bad idea. Or they could do like in Y and give what could be the answers, but what could it be? Heh.
 
Yea, that's what bothered me the most about Locke's dad being on the island -- "yea, we got him from a magic box that grants you wishes". If the mystery of how he got there is never answered, then the writers pretty much didn't even try... A magic box is a pretty general thing, especially for the quality of writing on this show. The magic box needs clarifying.

And in regards of the monster. If the question "what has the monster been doing?" is a part of "what is the monster?" then I would agree with you. I don't so much care what it is... Ok, it's a black smoke thing that seems to attack people. What I want to know is why it is so particular with certain people and why it's so particular about where it is and who can make it go where. I can't see the writers explaining what it is unless it does come down to that he is a character, like Jacob's nemesis. I mean, I don't think they could really sell the whole "it's a bunch of nano-bots DHARMA came up with to track people and scare them after going through their memories and reminding the person it is antagonizing of the bad ones". We know that's not it, but you guys know what I mean.

Michael Emerson is probably right. Certain things won't be addressed, but that's not going to be a bad thing. What Cuse and Lindelof have stressed, and this is good, is that it is an on-going show and that it needs to arrive somewhere. If they try to answer this little thing or that plot hole, they'll trip over their own toes and end up noting giving a solid ending.

:lol: I've honestly had too much time at work to be thinking about Lost over the summer. The fact that this show is almost over is beginning to become a reality for me. It's like waiting for that seventh Harry Potter book!

I felt the magic box was a metaphor for what the Others believed happens on the island and thus is a series ending answer type. You could explain that, that's how they explain the monster's manifestations. Who know, but I feel with Anthony Cooper you can assume it's the other's doing. but that's just my feeling. I for one want to know how did Walt communicate on the swan computer

I'm in the boat that they should explain almost everything. Not necessarily on the show but in pod casts, interviews, commentaries, or just a special checking off missed mysteries. Like Walt's Swan Computer. Like in a podcast say "Oh by the way, there was a computer in Room 23 that the others thought was not operating." Just something on these pieces.

Terrific LOST Essay: What Does Richard Alpert Want/Know? (Part 2)

Part 1 can be found via the link, but this one's the much better read. Check it out, it's fairly short.

That is an amazing theory and fits perfectly.

So for the last month or so, my older brother has decided to get into Lost and we've just finished Season 1. It's great because I wouldn't have the motivation to embark on the "ReWatch" unless it was with someone who never saw the show. Because when you do that it's like watching it for the first time. Also I love knowing what happens because you pick up on so many little things you may have missed. I also love seeing how they set up an episode with subtle gestures in one or sometimes two previous episodes. And after watching the first season finale and concluding it's too late he said "What's in the Hatch!... No wait don't tell me" Fun times. Though I keep expecting him to say "It's Purgatory right? They're all dead?" ala the Previously on Lost short
