I was talking to my roomate last night about what I'm going to do when it all ends. I've literally dedicated so much time and effort into watching, reading and listening to anything and everything Lost related.

There's still one episode left too. Like Jack tells Richard about him, "I wouldn't give up on him."

It makes me think there will be more to come for Jack, and maybe even the filling of the role. Just another example of this show always staying on it's toes. |

one thing I did not mention is I loved how quick Jack accepted the role. There was almost no hesitation at all.

I liked it because it was part he knows why he is there and I also think part he didnt want the others to make the sacrifice he was preparing to make.

To be fair, there isn't another show I see myself getting so involved, familiar and intrigued with. The Sopranos would be the other one that has come closest, but at the moment I simply don't have another show like it in mind.
Just as a side topic in this thread, it would be interesting to see what other shows fans of LOST watch? - These are the shows I watch regulary at the moment or as new episodes come out... - LOST - Family Guy - South Park - Modern Family - Ax Men - American Dad (kind of) - 24 - Dexter - The Office |

With the way everyone seems to be remembering the original timeline in the alt. timeline, I figured a good way to have Sawyer remember would be to have Juliet at this concert, and Desmond trips her up, Sawyer catches her and is all "I got you Blondie" and then they both remember.

I was having a passing thought last night if it does end up where it's not 'the end' of the Island per se, and Jack continues to protect it and stays there, if there were to be MIB still there and still trapped. I thought if Locke is reborn and bought back and MIB can't/doesn't use his appearance anymore, he reverts to the last person he 'used', Jack's father. Having father and son spend eternity together on the Island.

For you fellow brits that for some reason still watch on Sky1, they'll be showing the finale at 5am Sunday night/Monday morning, roughly in line with American TV.

I'm semi-tempted to get up early on Monday and watch it before I go to work, but I'll probably just end up Sky Plus-ing it and watching it on Monday night.

I saw it on Comcast the other day. It caught me by suprise because I thought they were going to do a 5th and final season for it, but they just dropped it instead.

I only really watch Lost and The Office. The Office isn't the same because it's a comedy show, but even that is probably ending next year.
I don't think something will come along as awesome as Lost for a long time. There will be A LOT of imitators. It has really stepped up the game for TV, and hopefully it gives some new life to mainstream science fiction in television, instead of just film. But the loads of shows that are trying to be Lost won't succeed, because they are trying to be Lost. The reason Lost is great is because of how original and epic of a creation is, while tapping into a familiar brand. Eventually another truly great TV show in the spirit of Lost will come along. I was a big X-Files fan, and it took a while for something like Lost to come along for me to get into. |

Cool, but I kinda feel the same as the writer of the article. More with the exclusion of material rather than the cost of the DVD pack.

He doesn't feel that way, he just pointed out that's how some fans may feel.
Personally, I don't think of it that way at all. It's obviously stuff that had no place in the show to begin with, and didn't need to be answered. It's just a cool little thing they're doing for a special feature. They need to fill space on the DVDs. I'd rather them be doing it than not, since working a long winded answer to something that doesn't need one is the last thing I expect them to be doing in the actual show. |

What is the big question about the cabin? Noticed he brought that up. MIB was using it and doing weird things within it to make the visitors think it was Jacob.
What's the real mystery there? The strange figure can be attributed to the fact that they hadn't cast MIB yet, and he can do all sorts of crazy things to be scary. The eye thing was just for the sake of being creepy. |

Na, personally, if they are big answers like 'What is the Island?' in the DVD features, I will be pissed it wasn't worked into the show, even though it is a big one that probably will be explained, or partially. Just don't like the idea that there's going to be enough material left out that it's 20 minutes worth, and depending on how that's presented, it could be a lot.
The cabin Unanswered Questions How was the cabin able to change locations? Who broke the circle of ash surrounding the cabin? When was the circle of ash surrounding the cabin broken? What were the liquids in the jars? Why did Ilana order the burning of the cabin? How did Ben know of the cabin and its whereabouts? What,if any, is the significance of the dog painting? Inhabitants When did Jacob inhabit the cabin? Why did he stop using it? Who else had been using it? Who was the shadowy figure seen in "The Man Behind the Curtain"? Who asked Locke for help? Why did objects start flying around the room? Whose eye did Hurley see in the cabin in "The Beginning of the End"? I assume some of the mysteries on the DVD feature will be things like Walt's powers and apparitions, pregnancy, healing properties - although some of those can be explained at the same time as others, as well as the big ones like what the Island is. |

I think Walt's deal is probably the biggest unsolved mystery, but even still it's not really an issue.
Walt was "gifted" in strange ways, but so are other characters. Hurley and Miles are examples. The Others just let him go so they could save Ben. Just because he was gifted didn't mean he was all-important. |

Half of those questions are ridiculous and pointless. A lot of Lost fans have gotten to the point of absurdity in their quest for "answers"
The show breeds mystery and thought, but people have become obsessed with this idea of everything having detailed explanation, to the point where it distracts from the story, and the very mystery that makes Lost/science fiction/fantasy interesting to begin with Unanswered questions: Does the Cabin have a basement? When did the Cabin get a primer coat? Is there working plumbing? What did Ben have for breakfast? Does the Smoke Monster shit? |
