Lost - The Final Season

Was FakeMom a Smokey too? There's no way SHE could have killed that entire camp!

How do you get that MiB wasn't evil? He was a powerful liar and manipulator, even as a child, and stabbed his foster mother to death, from behind, no less. You get a more nuanced look at him, true, but nothing I saw changed my view to good, or even neutral. He's a bad, bad, boy.

As for Jacob, the island may give him dispensation to go abroad and "recruit" new candidates.

It would have been more annoying than not naming MiB if they had beeped it out every time it was said, like Kiddo in Kill Bill.

I actually did not think MiB was evil. The mother came off as a crazy lunatic religious zealot. She was holier than thou. The "evil" people on the island she warned MiB about had no more evil characteristics (greed, selfishness, etc) than the rest of humanity. He killed his "mother" because she killed his mother. That's a fair trade.

She was straight up Rousseu v1.0 in dis .

I love how they edited the Adam/Eve - Mother/MiB connection at the end though. It was great. The last 30 mins of the series should be just like that and answer every gotdamn question

THAT is probably what killed the episode for me, they can re-edit stuff all over the place to say "lookie here, this is the answer we had in mind since the start" even though it makese no sense and feels very forced. They have 3 hours of TV time to fix it.

@LnGrrrR: I'm not a poster, I just like to read theories and reactions to episodes sometimes. I read a few LOST-related forums last night and it seemed a good 70% of people thought the episode sucked.

Because he lied about having a game, he's a powerful liar? He was a ing child!!! Children lie. The only "evil" thing he did in the episode was killing ancient Rosseau. Which she goaded him into doing and thanked him for. He didn't become evil until his goody, goody brother threw him down the light hole.

Let's not forget, the woman he killed killed his birth mother.

[MannyIsGod]

I think some of that episodes questions will be answered in the next 3 hours and I think it will make more sense at that point. I enjoyed it.

Wild hypothesis floating on the web...

If you DVRd the episode, go to the scene where they are hunting the boar. The wild rumor floating around is that the three strangers who killed the boar were Sawyer, Sayid, and Jack. I only have a SD TiVo box, so I couldn't really tell.

Looking now...

Nope.

Nope.

Jamus, Saidus, and Jaximus. I just can't imagine James learning Latin in ANY timeline.

That's a really good inteview with the show w/ the producers about WHY they can't answer certain questions that people are itching about on the show. This show is the equivalent of being a 50 year old man that meets a nice young stripper that he keeps visiting every week because she's showing you awesome moves and good attention...but it's just a giant tease and in the end you're still going home alone after 6 years of being a loyal customer. /done

That was a messed up episode. All that buildup with only 3 more on air hours left, and they tied up, what? 3 strings? (Adam and Eve, why MiB hates Jacob, who Jacob is).
Not 1 bit else, IMHO. Dharma? Temple? What the black energy is? Why the island is there? Who the is that contrived character Whidmore (probably wasn't even written in seasons 1 and 2). Walt, his abilities, and his connection to the polar bear? Did I miss the part with Echo's church? (never should have killed off Echo. Best damn character the series ever had).

I think they answered why the Island is there... it guards life. I was under the assumption that if that light ever completely goes out, so goes the world.

And I believe Widmore has been in it since S2, ever since they introduced Desmond.

Eko was killed off because he didn't want to do another season. I miss him too.

I'd like some more explanation on just what Dharma was trying to do too, but I don't think we'll get it.

This bit from the interview was very interesting...

DL: In terms of what Jacob allowed, what he didn't allow, what The Others did of their own volition, with Ben basically saying "This came down from Jacob" is all in the area that is subject to interpretation purposely. What our intention was is that there is a repeating vicious cycle that seems to happen on this island, where people come to the island, they try to figure out what makes the island work, and the closer they came leads them to their own inevitable demise.

CC: Like Icarus

DL: The more curious you become about why the island has its properties, inevitably the protector of the island feels the need to engage in some form of mass genocide. It was more our attempt to say that history repeats itself, and this is an ongoing and continuing motif.

Sneak peeks, don't watch if you don't want to know.

Sneak peeks, don't watch if you don't want to know.

And here we go with resurrection theory.

I still have yet to watch this but someday I will.

Weird previews...

[Stringer_Bell]

lol @ Hurley trying to run after the kid. You'd think he'd have lost some weight after all these years, anyone think they keep him fat on purpose?

Thought for sure we'd see a "brotha" quote in those pics.

[Death In June]

Did lost ever explain how a commercial airliner was supposed to take off from a sandy platform? Is everyone on this show a moron, or am I missing something?
