The actor, who played Charlie on ABC's hit series "Lost," took to Twitter to slam his former co-star Matthew Fox over the weekend - by way of the most bizarre Twitter exchange possible. On Sunday, a fan tweeted at Monaghan, asking him to get Fox to join the social networking site.

"Holla at matthew fox and tell him to get a twitter i beg of you," the fan innocently requested.

"He beats women. No thanks," Monaghan tweeted tersely in reply.

The fan, not to be easily deterred, responded in all caps.

"I KNOW IT WAS WRONG BUT WHAT?! What about all those good times you had together?!" she wrote.

"How did you know we ever did? You don't know either of us. He beats women. Not isolated incidents. Often. Not interested," Monaghan wrote back.



Fox, 45, was embroiled in some legal troubles last fall after assaulting a female party bus driver. The actor, who was intoxicated at the time, allegedly punched bus driver Heather Bormann in the breast and crotch areas after she refused to let him on her bus, Fox 8 News reported at the time.

"He just kept staring at me with his mouth wide open and not saying anything," Bormann told TMZ. "I told him, 'You have to leave, buddy. You are trespassing on my bus.'"

After Fox attacked her, Bormann said she socked the actor in the mouth in an act of self defense. She drew blood. Fox was later handcuffed, but no charges were pressed, a decision that Bormann's lawyer called "a miscarriage of justice."

Earlier this month, the troubled actor was arrested at 3:30 a.m. on suspicion of driving under the influence. Acccording to E! News, Fox was on his way to grab some late night munchies when he was detained

Anyone would have problems adjusting to society if they were stuck on an island for 4 years..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

The show was shitty to people who didn't understand. I will say that the ending was somewhat of a disappointment, but overall great series for regular television.

I loved the ending, thought it was perfect.

You know why the ending was so great? Because each person could interpret what they wanted it to mean.

BEST SHOW EVER ON TV!

Hawaii?

[gaKNOW!blee]

It was about an island that could magically disappear?

The first 3 seasons were good and had me hooked but then it got really stupid..black smoke, locke died but not really and the "others" actually had nothing to do with anything.

No the island never moved. The point in which you could enter the island was the variable. That was what always changed and it made the island seem to dissapear.

The black smoke was there from the first season so how you can say the first 3 seasons were good but than the smoke came and made everything shitty is an idiot and contradicting take.

Locke did die and no he did not come back. The smoke took the form of John Locke in order to kill Jacob, after Jacob died the smoke couldn't change back into whomever it wanted to, save the smoke form.

The "Others" were natives of the island brought in by Ben to help run the community and whatnot. They actually had nothing to do with the island, they just lived there.

Hope that helped you understand some of the most simple mysteries of the show with your very limited mind. :lol

[gaKNOW!blee]

Lol I understand the whole smoke/Locke thing...I'm saying it was fucking stupid.

I'm also saying it was fucking stupid that the others had nothing to do with the island because thats all they talked about for the longest time.

Wow the numbers that the fat ass won the lottery with are cursed, and = 108, and they needed to reset that timer every 108 minutes!!!! FUCKING GENIUS!!!

[Reck]

^ Still doesn't get it. Moving on..

[Blake]

The two time frames I liked the least were the final season and in season 3? where Sawyer and Kate were locked up in cages

[DesignatedT]

First 3 seasons were great and after that you could tell ideas were running dry a bit. All in all it was a great show for television.

[shyne]

Here is a good explanation of how everything ended, brought some clarity to some things I didn't quite get at the time.


First ...
The Island:

It was real. Everything that happened on the island that we saw throughout the 6 seasons was real. Forget the final image of the plane crash, it was put in purposely to f*&k with people's heads and show how far the show had come. They really crashed. They really survived. They really discovered Dharma and the Others. The Island keeps the balance of good and evil in the world. It always has and always will perform that role. And the Island will always need a "Protector". Jacob wasn't the first, Hurley won't be the last. However, Jacob had to deal with a malevolent force (MIB) that his mother, nor Hurley had to deal with. He created the devil and had to find a way to kill him -- even though the rules prevented him from actually doing so.

Thus began Jacob's plan to bring candidates to the Island to do the one thing he couldn't do. Kill the MIB. He had a huge list of candidates that spanned generations. Yet everytime he brought people there, the MIB corrupted them and caused them to kill one another. That was until Richard came along and helped Jacob understand that if he didn't take a more active role, then his plan would never work.

Enter Dharma -- which I'm not sure why John is having such a hard time grasping. Dharma, like the countless scores of people that were brought to the island before, were brought there by Jacob as part of his plan to kill the MIB. However, the MIB was aware of this plan and interferred by "corrupting" Ben. Making Ben believe he was doing the work of Jacob when in reality he was doing the work of the MIB. This carried over into all of Ben's "off-island" activities. He was the leader. He spoke for Jacob as far as they were concerned. So the "Others" killed Dharma and later were actively trying to kill Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley and all the candidates because that's what the MIB wanted. And what he couldn't do for himself.

Dharma was originally brought in to be good. But was turned bad by MIB's corruption and eventually destroyed by his pawn Ben. Now, was Dharma only brought there to help Jack and the other Canditates on their overall quest to kill Smokey? Or did Jacob have another list of Canidates from the Dharma group that we were never aware of? That's a question that is purposley not answered because whatever answer the writers came up with would be worse than the one you come up with for yourself. Still ... Dharma's purpose is not "pointless" or even vague. Hell, it's pretty blantent.

Still, despite his grand plan, Jacob wanted to give his "candidates" (our Lostaways) the one thing he, nor his brother, were ever afforded: free will. Hence him bringing a host of "candidates" through the decades and letting them "choose" which one would actually do the job in the end. Maybe he knew Jack would be the one to kill Flocke and that Hurley would be the protector in the end. Maybe he didn't. But that was always the key question of the show: Fate vs Free-will. Science vs Faith. Personally I think Jacob knew from the beginning what was going to happen and that everyone played a part over 6 seasons in helping Jack get to the point where he needed to be to kill Smokey and make Hurley the protector -- I know that's how a lot of the writers viewed it. But again, they won't answer that (nor should they) because that ruins the fun.

In the end, Jack got to do what he always wanted to do from the very first episode of the show: Save his fellow Lostaways. He got Kate and Sawyer off the island and he gave Hurley the purpose in life he'd always been missing. And, in Sideways world (which we'll get to next) he in fact saved everyone by helping them all move on ...

Now...

Sideways World:

Sideways world is where it gets really cool in terms of theology and metaphysical discussion (for me at least -- because I love history/religion theories and loved all the talks in the writer's room about it). Basically what the show is proposing is that we're all linked to certain people during our lives. Call them soulmates (though it's not exactly the best word). But these people we're linked to are with us duing "the most important moments of our lives" as Christian said. These are the people we move through the universe with from lifetime to lifetime. It's loosely based in Hinduisim with large doses of western religion thrown into the mix.

The conceit that the writers created, basing it off these religious philosophies, was that as a group, the Lostaways subconsciously created this "sideways" world where they exist in purgatory until they are "awakened" and find one another. Once they all find one another, they can then move on and move forward. In essence, this is the show's concept of the afterlife. According to the show, everyone creates their own "Sideways" purgatory with their "soulmates" throughout their lives and exist there until they all move on together. That's a beautiful notion. Even if you aren't religious or even spirtual, the idea that we live AND die together is deeply profound and moving.

It's a really cool and spirtual concept that fits the whole tone and subtext the show has had from the beginning. These people were SUPPOSED to be together on that plane. They were supposed to live through these events -- not JUST because of Jacob. But because that's what the universe or God (depending on how religious you wish to get) wanted to happen. The show was always about science vs faith -- and it ultimately came down on the side of faith. It answered THE core question of the series. The one question that has been at the root of every island mystery, every character backstory, every plot twist. That, by itself, is quite an accomplishment.

How much you want to extrapolate from that is up to you as the viewer. Think about season 1 when we first found the Hatch. Everyone thought that's THE answer! Whatever is down there is the answer! Then, as we discovered it was just one station of many. One link in a very long chain that kept revealing more, and more of a larger mosiac.

But the writer's took it even further this season by contrasting this Sideways "purgatory" with the Island itself. Remember when Michael appeared to Hurley, he said he was not allowed to leave the Island. Just like the MIB. He wasn't allowed into this sideways world and thus, was not afforded the opportunity to move on. Why? Because he had proven himself to be unworthy with his actions on the Island. He failed the test. The others, passed. They made it into Sideways world when they died -- some before Jack, some years later. In Hurley's case, maybe centuries later. They exist in this sideways world until they are "awakened" and they can only move on TOGETHER because they are linked. They are destined to be together for eternity. That was their destiny.

They were NOT linked to Anna Lucia, Daniel, Roussou, Alex, Miles, Lupidis, (and all the rest who weren't in the chuch -- basically everyone who wasn't in season 1). Yet those people exist in Sideways world. Why? Well again, here's where they leave it up to you to decide. The way I like to think about it, is that those people who were left behind in Sideways world have to find their own soulmates before they can wake up. It's possible that those links aren't people from the island but from their other life (Anna's parnter, the guy she shot --- Roussou's husband, etc etc).

A lot of people have been talking about Ben and why he didn't go into the Church. And if you think of Sideways world in this way, then it gives you the answer to that very question. Ben can't move on yet because he hasn't connected with the people he needs to. It's going to be his job to awaken Roussou, Alex, Anna Lucia (maybe), Ethan, Goodspeed, his father and the rest. He has to attone for his sins more than he did by being Hurley's number two. He has to do what Hurley and Desmond did for our Lostaways with his own people. He has to help them connect. And he can only move on when all the links in his chain are ready to. Same can be said for Faraday, Charlotte, Whidmore, Hawkins etc. It's really a neat, and cool concept. At least to me.

But, from a more "behind the scenes" note: the reason Ben's not in the church, and the reason no one is in the church but for Season 1 people is because they wrote the ending to the show after writing the pilot. And never changed it. The writers always said (and many didn't believe them) that they knew their ending from the very first episode. I applaud them for that. It's pretty fantastic. Originally Ben was supposed to have a 3 episode arc and be done. But he became a big part of the show. They could have easily changed their ending and put him in the church -- but instead they problem solved it. Gave him a BRILLIANT moment with Locke outside the church ... and then that was it. I loved that. For those that wonder -- the original ending started the moment Jack walked into the church and touches the casket to Jack closing his eyes as the other plane flies away. That was always JJ's ending. And they kept it.


In the end, for me, LOST was a touchstone show that dealt with faith, the afterlife, and all these big, spirtual questions that most shows don't touch. And to me, they never once waivered from their core story -- even with all the sci-fi elements they mixed in. To walk that long and daunting of a creative tightrope and survive is simply astounding. I pretty much agree

[Reck]

Good read Shyne. Good read.

Matthew Fox said he was the only one who knew how the show would end, besides the writers of course.
