With your idea though, that MIB wins. Everything points towards the idea that he is evil, he will spread his evil and everyone will cease to exist. So how can reality/the world and everyone still be if he wins?

So with all of the flash sideways paralleling or mirroring on-island events in certain ways, it got me thinking back to the first few seasons.

Remember how the flashbacks would always mirror reality in certain ways? Back then, I obviously just thought that it was clever way of highlighting certain character traits, but could it be more significant than that?

Maybe they weren't flashbacks?

I bet they throw all kinds of new shit at us next week. Lost doesnt care about answering old questions.
The bomb that set the alternate universe into motion detonated in 1977. Jack's son was presumably born somewhere around 1990.

They also address the island being destroyed, by showing it at the bottom of the ocean. The statue is still there, the Dharma initiative is still there, etc.
That's because those things were built before 1977. It's on the bottom of the ocean from 1977 onwards though.

The only people who would have been on the island at that time are Ben Linus, and his father. It's specifically addressed though, that Roger Linus was a workman for the DI on the island, with Ben, but he decided to leave his job.
They returned back to the mainland before the bomb went off, which is when the alternate reality began to unfold.

Well in a way they were and in a way they were not. It's like whenever we saw flashbacks, we were aware that what we were seeing on-island was the present and they were the past. Then when we saw the flash-forward at the end of season 3, it's like everything we know and had seen, we know were aware had already happened. Is that what you mean?

lol at that cutting. It's so obvious that "I know what we need to do" and "trust me Jack" are seperate clips taken from different places in the episode and spliced together to make it sound like he's saying that.

Not knocking it. That's common in any trailer or preview. Just stood out as kind of funny here.

I really really can't wait for these next 6 episodes. I am pissed that I have to wait a week in between each. I love watching them in big doses. This is the first season that I've watched week to week in their original airing.

I watched the other seasons in serious binges in 2008-2009. I think I was still on season 4 when season 5 started, so I avoided the show and waited until I could get a hold of all the episodes on the internet.

I kind of miss barracading for hours and getting way into it. Though week to week is exciting. There was definitely a feeling surrounding the premiere this year that you just can't get on DVD. The idea that the whole world is watching it live. That will be even more epic for the finale.

I remember when the show started, Hugo didn't really 'seem' like a major character, but he was always a funny guy. Now, he's totally gonna pull something out of his ass and save the day. I love it.

Yeah big time, it's awesome around that finale time.

I have watched LOST weekly ever since the first episode, so I am kind used to it, and in a weird way I prefer it.

I watched seasons 1-5 straight through a second time this fall. I was introducing my brother to it.

I'll probably watch this whole season through again in the days leading up to the finale, just to get all primed and pumped up.

Definitely going to watch the whole complete thing all the way through again once it's over. Can't wait to do that. Will be really interesting (as if it weren't already)

Going to be cool to revisit the series every few years too. Like most great shows or movies, it will probably be the type of thing that you forget how awesome it is and fall back in love with it again every so often.

I really think Lost will be looked back on with even more praise than it is now. Just as a concept and experience, and quality obviously. Plus the fact that it was such a huge hit, but had the discipline to stay on track, take risks, and end on it's own terms.
And obviously it's going to change television since no TV show has really ever been like this one, and tons of things are going to follow it's lead.

It will never happen, but it would be kinda cool to see everything happen in chronological order somehow once it's all released on DVD.

I have seasons 1,2,3 on DVD and 4,5 and 6 on my computer.

I WILL be purchasing the whole 6 season box set once it's released. Not kind of purchasing pattern has ever been exhibited by me with regard to any other TV show.

Still can't believe they actually found the Pearl station first, kinda made Eko's journey with Locke seem less significant. Glad they are dead.

lol word


I don't know what episodes are my "favorites", since it's not like other TV shows. It's really just chapters. I don't ever watch random episodes, like I would for something like The Simpsons or X-Files, because everything is ongoing.

Tricia Tanaka Is Dead stands out to me as an episode that I loved, and found to be a good standalone. Not much, if anything, happens with the overall mythology but it's really interesting/funny and has amazing character development.

The 2 part season finale of Season 3 stands out as incredible. But I still think my favorite episode (and that's saying a lot) is the 4th episode of Season 1. Walkabout.
The first John Locke episode. It blew my mind and still does.

This season has really had some episodes that are up there.

That's because those things were built before 1977. It's on the bottom of the ocean from 1977 onwards though.

The only people who would have been on the island at that time are Ben Linus, and his father. It's specifically addressed though, that Roger Linus was a workman for the DI on the island, with Ben, but he decided to leave his job.
They returned back to the mainland before the bomb went off, which is when the alternate reality began to unfold.
Im still not totally convinced the bomb is why the island is at the bottom of the ocean, though I think it is the most likely answer. Roger Linus shot Sayid the day the bomb went off, did he have enough time to get off the island?

Also, Widmore and Eloise were both on the Island as well, and in the new reality, they are married and living happily off the island. Did they have enough time to get off the island too?

I'm personally not saying whenever I say it that the bomb is what sent the Island to the sea bed, rather IT IS what split reality in two.

Think you are going on a theory that the incident/the bomb did sink the Island, when really, it didn't necessarily cause a hydrogen explosion, it in fact silenced the pocket of energy or altered it. The bomb did go off, but it didn't cause a massive explosion. Pretty sure if it did, the Barracks wouldn't even be standing, but they were pretty much intact.

That episode was great for what it was.

They said before it came out that they were just gonna have some fun with the characters and give them a ridiculous send off.

They also said it was their loving attempt at a CSI-esque episode, and in that respect, they did awesome work

More clever than any CSI episode I can remember seeing

Anyone know if it is possible for a nuclear weapon to emit its EMP but not cause a full fledged nuclear explosion?

Because that would certainly explain a lot.

Well Faraday's plan revolved on having the thermonuclear core being removed from the bomb and used. I'm not a bomb expert, to me, that just sounds like the real dangerous and main part of the bomb was used.

I don't know if we will EVER find out the precise scienfific way in which the bomb was used with the pocket of energy. I guess it more a case of two powers colliding and the effects either being made through science, or even part of some kind of higher Island power?

What I also want to know is, what makes Eloise so special?

As I pointed out a page or so ago - in season 3, Flashes Before Your Eyes, As Desmond was experiencing the price of turning that fail-safe key, his consciousness was travelling through time - yet somehow and for some reason, before he had even left for the Island, Eloise Hawking knew about it - she knew what he was meant to do, she knew about course correction - she was his guide. And yet STILL, in an alternate reality - she knows something else, she knows Desmond isn't ready for something. I just don't get how she could be this 'guide' and know about all this stuff. Fair enough, she was the leader of The Others, and she killed her own son, but still. How can she have that knowledge and tact?

Pretty sure she is the keeper of the time line, and can probably shift/retain consciousness across time and into different universes

I don't think so - she has never been in any experiments, near any radiation or turned any fail safe key. Desmond is only able to withstand it because of the key turning and or because The Island chose to have him survive.

If anything, she has some kind of relationship with or had one with Jacob where he trusted her enough to know something extra, or even with Faraday's notes, she somehow come to learn and realise what is going on. Esp since his notebook contained the words, 'If anything goes wrong Desmond Hume will be my constant'.

Just thought of this... if those who have been touched can't kill themselves, that could be why Desmond survived turning the key.
