All you people who watch LOST are fools.

At the end of Season 6 you'll be told that it was all a dream and Bobby Ewing is in the shower

There actually has been some conjecture that the whole thing is a figment of Hurley's imagination, but that's too easy. I think we'll actually get a half-decent explanation for everything.

Maybe hope is a better word.

Is anybody else as confused as I am with this season?

[Mr. Montage]

This is a really good story it is descriptive,thrilling and it makes me want to SHOOT MYSELF IN THE FOREHEAD. no offense.

I'm just starting the fifth season so I'm ignoring everyone else's posts. I'm intrigued by the season so far, setting an ending point seems to have helped them get their shit together.

A couple things, I just finished episode 3 which was a good one IMO. One thing I still think, from something I saw in the fourth season, I can't remember, maybe it was the last episode, that Jin is alive. Two, finding out that Charles Widmore was on the island is interesting, was there a power struggle between Widmore and Ben? Three, does the pushing the button have something to do with the hydrogen bomb? I don't know if that makes sense. I actually didn't come up with that, saw it somewhere else.

Its such a silly show but it is addictive and they seem to have tightened it up a little.

Woot, Jin is alive.

This show is so ridiculous but great.

Think you have the right Idea with the rewatch.Have watched everything and still scrathcing my head....sounds like your right in the heart of it.They 'explain' alot but the time shifts and leaps will leave you dizzy....and the young Millie not to bad

Usually I guess who dies each season but I don't know, its kind of pointless. I figure there's a core group that's almost untouchable (Jack, Kate, definitely, Sawyer, Locke even though he's supposed to be dead, and maybe Hurley) but you never know with this show.

One thing I heard somewhere is they try to make Locke like the Jesus figure of the Island, Jesus was resurrected after three days, and supposedly Locke will too (at least symbolically) hence the reason why Linas only has 70 hours to get everybody back to the island.

[OumaFan]

Can Locke really be dead? Dead dead?

This Eloise woman annoys me just as a character, I don't think she's a very good actor. That long scene at the start of episode 6 was kind of painfully bad.

[Steelie]

Honestly, if they flip this whole thing into 'figment if Hurleys imagination' I will have to lash myself for the wasted hours.

That said, everyone knows that they've padded it out for 4/5 seasons to satisfy the network, so it is plausible the ending they had planned right at the very beginning, isn't going to be that satisfactory several years on from when they wrote it.

[OumaFan]

That can't be it, would be horrible.

So Locke's still alive. Meh I guess I'd say that its a bit over the top but the whole show's about suspension of disbelief.

LOL at the fact that there are new plane crash people, I know that coming back wasn't a self-centered act but they really fucked those people over.

[OumaFan]

I'm definitely back into the show, as is obvious by my talking to myself on here. First season was great, second and three slight letdowns but the 4th was good and things are really starting to happen now.

Looking at one of the Lost forums makes my head hurt, these people have theories for everything, why Richard Alpert looked normal when he talked to Sawyer in episode 7 of the fifth season but looked like a hippie when he was talking to young Ben around the same time, in the 70's, etc., etc., etc.

But you would think Sawyer and everybody would have to meet up with young Ben at some point now that they're staying in Othertown in the 1970's. And the question is why didn't Ben know that as an adult, why didn't he mention anything about seeing Sawyer, Jack, etc. when he was a kid (of course he could have known and just didn't say anything) but I think it seems from the cases of Russo and Widmore that going back in time sort of changes their memory in the present. Russo didn't recognize Jin earlier on in the show but maybe if she had still been alive and in the present day (like Widmore) then she would have after the point in time during the present that they went back in time. Because Russo didn't know Jin but Widmore, who was alive in the present after the point in time in the present that they went back, knew Locke.

Haha, a paragraph of gibberish. It kind of makes sense to me I guess.

I will say these Lost forum people are fucking encyclopedias, I didn't know half of what they were talking about.

have you seen the latest season?

ben didn't say anything about seeing them in the past because you have to understand the timeline and how the time travel works..

it doesn't make COMPLETE sense, but you have to think of everything as the present.. So think of it as, lets say when Sayid saw Ben as a child, that doesn't mean it happened in the past, that means he just made it happen.. so it's not like ben will all of a sudden get a new memory in his adult/current state.

[OumaFan]

I'm on episode 9. So yeah I'm definitely on spoiler alert.

Isn't that how it worked with Farraday and Desmond though? He only remembered at a time in the present after they went back to the past.

And why didn't Russo remember Jin earlier in the series but Widmore remembered Locke? I guess Locke could have just made more of an impression but you would think Jin was a big enough deal for Russo to remember.

Not saying you're not right, I just think there are some questions about the whole thing. Of course it would be silly to think everything will be resolved in a neat fashion, I decided a long time ago that there would just be some inconsistencies that are never dealt with.

Another thing about the Lost boards is their hilarious. They get crazy heated, this one dude just lost it at someone else and was like "for god's sake that goes against EVERY rule of time travel"

[OumaFan]

Maybe Jin taught Charlotte Korean when she was on the island as a kid? He kind of looked at her like he expected her to know which was odd I thought although I could be overdoing that.
