Lost *spoilers*

Pretty good finale. Not as good as Season One's, but that one was almost insurpassable.

Does anyone find the most interesting cliffhanger to be what Jack and Kate's plan is? I just keep on thinking that they're gonna do something really, really cool during the season premier.

Agreed on both counts. But I think the giant foot is tied for most intriguing cliffhanger.

TGO, I have deleted that post three times now. It's stupid and pointless to repost it, especially after I told you to resize them. Do it again, and you'll be up for a weekly ban.

That's funny since I only posted twice and resize to a tiny size. Ice told me I could repost it and if you have a problem then take up with him.

Who says Henry is the leader of the Others? Why would he have been sent to retrieve John Locke? Why would he have been captured in the first place? Certainly if he's the leader, he'd have the most experience and less of a chance of getting caught in a net, right? I refuse to believe that he is the leader. Ms. Klugh had an important role in the Others, too, but we all seem to forget that, huh?

Speaking of Henry attempting to collect John, why wasn't he on the list? That's interesting...
 
Because Locke is a ***** and Henry only told him that to make him feel like he was above everyone else on the island. The perfect ruse for Locke.

As for Henry being the "leader". I guess I don't mean leader but he does seem to outrank the guy with the fake beard.

By the way, I know it should, but the giant 4 toed foot didn't intrigue me at all.

Charles Dickens did though.
 
Charles Dickens was the reason why Desmond was so cool, you understand? :)

The four-toed statue thing was just like a "what the ****?" moment for me and I went on with the show. I thought it was just some footnote (no pun intended) that the creators dropped in there to keep people involved. Lindelof already discounted the theory that aliens have a hand in the experiments and stuff that are being run on the island (Wikipedia) so this is really something we shouldn't be putting our stock into.

In the moment that Henry told Locke that he was coming for him, I believed he was being honest. It may have been a clever ruse, but considering the circumstances, where Henry was at a severe disadvantage... It's like that Henry just let information go to shake things up around camp. Yes, it's true Locke would be hurt or bruised by having a target on his chest, but Henry doesn't know Locke personally... How would he know about his character flaws?

Also, it troubles me that Henry is above the guy with the beard. For some reason, Henry was better suited as a Toad-like character... Constantly ridiculed, but loyal to prove himself when the going got tough. That's how I interpreted his character at first, or rather when he was exposed as an Other. Now that that is obviously different... I'm not so sure about Henry. I'm definitely interested in seeing more of him now.

All this season 3 hype is actually making me think the finale was a lot better than I initially thought. For some reason, I was put off by how bizarre it was and how ambiguous it was (Perhaps because the rumors circulating beefed it up a whole hell of a lot... I remember reading that there was a big reveal when Sayid opened those big doors... Refresh my memory - what did we find behind those doors? ;-)) but now I'm content and, as long as the show continues to deliver what it has for two very solid seasons, I'm in for another.

FINALLY, on Wikipedia I looked at the character/cast list... It suggests that Eko's character reaches beyond the second season. At least I think so. This is good news since he is such an amazing character.
 
05/26 - I just received some exclusive intel on the new characters joining Lost. In addition to the two female roles, the show is also adding a new hunk. Descriptions are: Female, 30s, with leadership qualities. Female, early 20s, very attractive. Male, Latino, early 20s, handsome, mysterious quality. My guess? These are some of the "background" survivors that Carlton Cuse told me would emerge next season. Source: The Ausiello Report

05/26 - Next season will be about the Others, as led by the oblique Henry Gale (played by Michael Emerson, who will join the regular cast). Mr. Cuse listed what viewers will learn about the Others by this time next year: "Who are these people? How many of them are there? What is their history? What are they trying to accomplish?"

Always reassuring to know. In particular, I hope we get individual flashback episodes for "Henry Gale", Tom ("Mr. Friendly"), Ms. Klugh, and (especially) Alex Rousseau (since she has apparently lived on the island her entire life). They all seem to have enough of a personality of their own to merit their own flashbacks.
 
With the exception of Ms. Klugh, I would agree. We've seen enough pesronality from the Others to merit them individual characters... We need to see flashbacks from each of them.

Also, I hope the number of Others that are introduced stay to a minimum... Like, just Tom, Klugh, and Henry.

Believe me, that's all I could think about during that scene. Maybe it's his twin or something.

Considering the novel that has been released is named "Bad Twin" I'm starting to think that it is a STRONG possibility that it is his twin. Wondering if all the lost characters has twins out there?

About the hatch doors that the Others had at their camp and the fact that they where fake makes me think that they set them up to fool people that has knowledge about the significance of the hatches. The question is if they are meant to fool the Lostaways or the Dharma people. :?

After the "we are the good guys" comment from Henry I'm thinking that they are a resistance group fighting the Dharma foundation and their Godless experiments. But did they come to the Island themselves or where they sent there as Dharma employees and then turned against the foundation?

PREVIEW OF THE UC:NEWSLETTER REVIEW:


I loved the episode because we got to hear a lot of new music from Michael Giacchino, that wasn't just re-done songs from previous episodes. My favorite: the heartbreaking music during the reunion between Michael and Walt.


Also, for more official LOST info about season 3, as well as awesome interviews with the cast/crew, etc., there's gonna be a new LOST Magazine coming out in 1 or two weeks (easily worth the money, seeing as you guys'll buy a 5-6 dollar WIZARD that's all endless hype/praising that you can get off the internet the day it comes out). (The paper material the magazine is made with is very nice too, and way better than 99% of the more expensive magazines out there. There's gonna be at least 2 issues coming out from now until the next season, and I know I sound like a walking advertisement, but it really is a great magazine, moreso than, like Buffy, Angel, Charmed, 24, and all the other TV mags Titan puts out.

This was probably mentioned already, but don't you think "Him" could be referring to Charles Widmore?


Finally, I guess we now know what Candle was referring to when he mentioned the Pala Ferry, seeing as how that was the name of the dock the Hostiles/Others took The Four to.

And I'm positive that the whole Portugese guy looking like Jack thing will be explained later on the show, because, even if he was played by a different actor, there's way too much of a similarity for him NOT to have something to do with Jack.

PLUS: Later on this week at ew.com: The Ultimate List of Lost Unanswered Questions! (Boy, that oughtta be huge), AND next week on the Lost ABC website, Damon and Carlton answer all your questions (that they can answer) about Season 2 and the finale, on the final LOST podcast of the season!!!

I hope so, but I'm still a tad worried that they won't address it at all for the sole reason that out of all my friends, only one of them noticed the resemblance and all the rest think we're crazy.

Idiots.

Did your friends record the program or see the image of the man after the finale aired, because I didn't even notice until I went online on Thursday. And none of my school friends invest in the morning-after online extravaganza like I do, so I could understand if that was the case.

Allow me to present...

THE DHARMA POSTULATE

I suspect that I have a theory to explain what the DHARMA Initiative is all about.

However, my idea involves comparison with two comic books -- Marvel's Runaways and Wildstorm's Planetary. If you have not read Planetary #25 or the final arc of Runaways Vol. 1 ("The Good Die Young"), please be warned that there are SPOILERS for these stories.

In Planetary #25...
it is revealed that The Four (a corrupt analog of Marvel's Fantastic Four, the "first family of comics") -- and specifically, its leader Randall Dowling -- made a deal with an advanced race of alternate-reality human beings (analogous to the Inhumans or Eternals) to grant them power and resources to discover the secret history of their earth for 50 years (1961-2011), in exchange for the planet itself.

Similarly, in Runaways Vol.1, during the story arc titled "The Good Die Young"...
the secretive villain organization known as The Pride -- made up of six influential families -- are revealed to be given power and influence by a race of ancient, six-toed giants named the Gibborim for 25 years (1984-2009), in exhcnage for their loyalty in performing a rite that will lead to the Gibborim taking over the planet, at the end of their "lease".

In the same way, I believe that the revelation of the four-toed statue is the first hint that the DHARMA Initiative is in contact with some kind of four-toed higher intelligence (alien? future human? mutant?), and they have granted them access to advance technology and use of the island, to understand the full capacity of our planet's science, in preparation for some kind of invasion or take-over by their otherworldy partners -- possibly in 2012, which is popularly regarded as an end-of-the-world date, based on the ancient Mayan calendar (and used by writers like Grant Morrison, in The Invisibles).

Why do I suggest this? The DeGroots founded DHARMA in 1970... 1970 + 42 years = 2012

Furthermore, I believe that the DHARMA Initiative -- just like the Pride in Runaways, and the Trust in 100 Bullets -- is actually made up of influential families working together: the DeGroots, the Hansos, the Widmores, the Paiks, and possibly more. Over time, these families may have begun to plot against one another, just as they did in the comics I mentioned, which explains the upheavals within the Hanso Foundation (as depicted in the Lost Experience game) and the seemingly uncoordinated projects on the Island.

Am I making sense?

Y'know, I've been thinking about this all day and I've realized that you are the smartest man alive, compound. Your idea is really genius. I hope it turns out to be something like this.
 
Talking about the twin thing (I haven't seen the episode, but I've seen the pictures), it could be possible... after all, wasn't one of those Lost websites had a secret easter egg which led to part of a script? And I remember at the end of the script, it had Jack get tackled by someone. When he saw who it was... well, he realized he was looking at a mirror image of himself.

Creepy stuff.
 
I just saw the rest of the finale. Holy ****. Best episode ever. Desmond is an awesome character. It was very powerful and emotional.

Can't wait until Season 3.
 
UPDATE: The very important, very informational (such as was that Matthew Fox in the last scene?) podcast is now on the LOST Abc website!!! I'm just starting to hear it now; it's about 30 minutes. :D :D :D
 
Be sure to let us know what they talked about...

I doubt if the character in the mountains has any relation to Jack. Sure, it may look like Matthew Fox, who may have agreed to get dressed up to play a minor role, but I doubt if there is any significance to the character. It would be entirely too corny to start introducing twins of characters.
