So apparently on the bonus features with the season 6 boxset there's going to be an Epilogue of Hurley and Bens time on the Island together following the events of the finale.
http://darkufo.blogspot.com/2010/05/...ue-of-ben.html Not really too sure what to think of this, I was more than happy to leave that stuff untouched, but at the same time I guess it will be interesting. |

Is that in addition to that "unanswered questions" documentary they're planning?
That should be cool. I'm not really demanding answers, but it will be cool to hear the writers talk about a few things that they didn't have time to write into the show, or even reveal some stuff that they decided against using/showing (like the outrigger, walt, maybe the Egyptians) I love just listening to Lindelof and Cuse talk about the show |

I'm going to get the entire series box set though, so hopefully they can include that in there. If there is a series set

I'm sure everything on the season 6 set will be in the entire series set. If anything, it will probably have more stuff.
I'd really like the entire series boxset, but I'm not sure if it's worth it for me. I have seasons 1-5 on dvd already. I'll buy season 6 when it comes out, so I'll essentially just have it already. I'm a sucker for Lost though, and I would kind of like to get it in blu ray eventually. I'll probably get it in blu ray somewhere down the line, but since I already have the seasons I won't be in a rush. Hopefully somebody buys me it for christmas or something |

Just read that the epilogue is going to be around 15 minutes and will be on the complete series set.
So I guess those of us who bought the seasons individually are fucked? I hope it's on the Season 6 set too. |

15 minutes is quite a long time. I wonder if it's going to be just about Hurley and Linus, or if it's going to show any other stuff.
Personally, I'd kind of prefer if they didn't show anything else involving the characters who got home on the Ajira plane. Jack watching them fly overhead was perfect. |

Showing what happens to characters like Richard and Miles wouldn't really matter to me. That would be cool. None of it's really a big deal, but I'd kind of rather not know what happens to Kate and Sawyer. Especially Kate, just because of her ending with Jack and the last shot of the plane getting away.

I think the fact that I don't even really want an epilogue just shows how satisfying that ending was to me.
Hurley and Linus stuff will be pretty awesome though. I'd rather see a 5 or so minute Missing Pieces on the Egyptians or something, rather than anything involving Kate or Sawyer. It would be funny to see Richard trying to adapt to a normal life in 2007. He'd probably need Miles help just as much as Hurley needs Ben's |

He's been going on and off the Island for years remember, he visited Locke early on in his life, plus he was part of the Mittelos Bioscience team that the others used to recruit Juliet. One can assume he was used to recruit other people too.

Yea I know but even still he probably would be new to a lot of things. He obviously knows how the world has changed, but I doubt he's had to do a lot of everyday things.

I hear ABC is spinning off Richard and Miles into a sitcom in which that very thing happens!

I'm am still rewatching season 2 right now. I noticed in one of the Sayid Flashbacks that he meets Kates father (via him showing Sayid a picture of Kate) as they were riding in the army truck.
By the way, I am trying to undrstand if Jughead did anything other then transport the '77 people into 2007? Is that all it did? Season 5 was a huge mind fuck for me, so I really need to rewatch that one. |

It didn't create an alternate universe, that we know of. It had nothing to do with the afterlife universe we saw all season. They basically pulled the wool over our eyes and made us think Jughead "worked."
It didn't work as they intended it to, but it essentially worked since it transported them back to 2007 and everything went down the way it did. I think what it basically did was just cause "The Incident" that we always heard happened at The Swan before they put the button there. The bomb definitely didn't go off normally because that would fuck the whole place up, but it probably caused a big burst of energy from that pocket. My guess is pretty much that the explosion and the release of energy from the pocket neutralized eachother and caused a flash that sent them back to 2007. Dharma filled in the hole, finished The Hatch, and put the button there which eventually made them crash. Makes sense to me. Mindfuck for sure though. |

got ya.
Since you mentioned Jughead (and somebody might have mentioned this a couple pages back), but I like how Juliet says "It worked" to James in the Afterlife timeline at the vending machine. It's like she already crossed over when she said "It worked" as she lay in the hole. |

Just read an interesting blog about how the Valenzetti equation predicted the numbers were variables in averting the end of the world, and how they ended up being the candidates, and changing one of them (Jack) is what saved everything.
Pretty cool. I read a few comments of people complaining. It's amazing to me how many people seem to have missed the point entirely. One guy was complaining about not getting any kind of answer about "why they went through everything they did" and "why the island was so mysterious" He also was asking what connection there was between the afterlife and The Island. |

I guess The Island and the afterlife don't have any real tangible connection, aside from the story and characters. That's like questioning what kind of connection there is between the island and all of the other flashbacks and flashforwards though.
Story and character. On a much larger scale, I would say the fact that the Island is destiny and the grand source of all life/death is more than enough connection with an undefined spiritual afterlife. I think it's safe to say whatever all powerful force the island is part of, is also connected with life after death. Everything they did in life (particularly on the island) is what led up to their afterlife. Everything in their life led up to The Island. That's like asking what connection our lives as human and the world as we know it have with the afterlife (if there is one.) |

It seems as though an awful lot of people who are seriously lacking in imagination got invested in Lost. I don't know how that happened.
It would seem to me that it's the exact type of show people like that shouldn't have any interest in, since the sci fi and broad metaphysical elements are a massive part of it. I suppose it was so compelling that it lured in a lot of people whose alley it really probably wasn't up. Even personally I noticed a lot of people interested in Lost that had never had interest in things like it before. I think somewhere along the line people like that decided they would accept these things for a while, as long as they got concrete, by-the-numbers answers that led to the unexplainable being explained in a way that made it real. Ultimately I don't think it was the right show for them, and never was going to be. They may not have realized it but they were watching for answers and explanation of the unknown, and not for the actual show. |

"Whatevs". There is a definite shift in the series at some point or other, where it becomes more... "Fantastical". Which has caused some people I know to stop watching. For the record, I thought it was brilliant. |

yea, I would say the first season especialy had a lot of mysteries and had a lot of super natural stuff in it. The 3rd season kind of had the violence and the action when they faced off against The Others.

Many friends I know stopped watching around season 4 when the time travel concept got its thrust. Guess that was their line.

The show definitely became more heavy when it comes to science fiction and the like, but that's not really a new direction it took, it was just the progession of the story and things ratcheting up as it moved on.
The writing was definitely on the wall. I know what you mean about it starting more grounded, like a Lord of the Flies type deal, but that was just the natural way of entering the story. There were tons of supernatural elements from the get go, and it's obvious that's where they were always going with it. I would argue that those people should have seen it coming. |

I think the thing that depresses me most about this show being over, is that it will either be never, or a very long time before another show comes along that's "like" LOST.

Wasn't "Lost" originally based on the Tom Hanks movie "Cast Away?"
That's what I always thought. |

The initial pre-Abrams concept was partially based on it, yes.

So I've been watching through the series again gradually since the finale. It's been pretty awesome. It's a totally new experience really.
I'm pretty amazed at how clearly crafted some of the revelations of season six are. I was just watching the episode where Mr. Eko dies, and it's obvious that The Smoke Monster is an intelligent being with an agenda, who can imitate the dead. It's all but told. I don't know how everyone didn't notice this clue, but as something that wasn't revealed until season six I was pretty impressed by this. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Seriously, if you can watch that episode you'll know what I'm talking about. All of the stuff that comes afterwards with the cabin, Christian, and the events leading up to the loophole are definitely coordinated. There have been a lot of other things too, like The Others being "the good guys", and the importance of the candidates. I always thought it was way more planned out than some people gave credit for, but I always felt that it was perfectly natural and obvious that some parts were made up as it went along. And a lot were, but I'm pretty sure there were major decisions made as early as season 2 that carried over until the end. Still have no clue why people are so hung up on Walt. Upon watching Season 2 again, it's even more ridiculous to me. They flat out adress the fact that he's special, but The Others want him because he's an innocent. They have no problems letting him go in exchange for Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley. Completely overblown "loose end." |
