Lost (spoilers)

[RegularKarate]

****SPOILERS***



i have a feeling the guys who took Walt are the same people Danielle was going to meet at the black smoke, "the others" she's always referring to...

I thought that was pretty obvious.  She said "but they said they were coming for the boy", which made the viewer say "oh my" because you knew it was going to be Walt.

as far as "where does the ladder go?", the answer is "nowhere".  The reveal showed that the ladder stops way before the bottom of whatever's in that hatch.

I like it when they leave characters in a life-threatening situation at the end of the season.  It's obvious that they're trying to figure out whether they want to keep those actors/characters.

what put doubt in my mind was the fact that they had a boat.  i assumed "the others" were the survivors from Danielle's crew and they went crazy or sumpthin. where'd the boat come from? i guess we'll find out next season.

there's no way they'll kill Sawyer off, his character is just too great.  besides, it looked like he was just shot in the arm.  they just needed a reason to get the gun away from him so Walt could be kidnapped..... if you were referring to all of them, they'll put the fire out and repair the boat, no sweat.



my predictions for next season:

-the guys on the raft will put 2 and 2 together and figure out it was "the others" that kidnapped Walt and return to the island.
-they will find survivors from the tail of the plane, one of them being Michelle Rodriguez who will hook up with Jack.
-Kate and Sawyer will bang.
-Jack will die.
-just kiddin about Jack.
-Boone will return as some sort of apparition that only Shannon can see and may or may not just be in her head.
-"the others" will kill Danielle.
-Locke will turn into a full fledged villain.
-Hurley's fat ass won't lose any weight.

The numbers is still the most intriging question for me...

As far as the characters... I think they will all be back... I think I heard JJ Abrams saying something about that, but also the show is very successful as it is and its not that you see any of the characters heading to a new show or anything... so I guess they'll be back at least for a while

Damn its amazing how after 25 episodes they kept so many things... like the freakin monster in the first episode is still a mystery...

Oh well... 4 months to see what happens next

yeah but he also said most of the questions people had will be answered in the finale.  that was obviously a crock of shit.

what to you mean?  now we know the monster may or may not be a puff of poorly cgi'd black smoke.

[edison]

There has been talk on other boards that the black puff of smoke is nanobots, there is a .gif from the pilot that shows this black puff exploding one of the jet engines, so it seems that the creators like Crichtons book Prey

Let's not go crazy... nobody liked Crichton's book, "Prey".

can u believe the first season JUST finished last nite over here? i hear the next season is starting like in a couple weeks over there! i will definitely be stealing it this time.

the polar bear was answered inasmuch as Walt imagined it and it happened. i didn't like the ending, it was disappointing, as has been said to death nothing was revealed. but also it was the worst written and worst acted episode of the whole series. if they'd started the show on that note, i would never have watched.

i know americans are famously useless at discerning accents, but whoever hired those stupid actors in the airport to sound australian must be SHOT IN THE NUTS. omg, "dee yee went me to weigh u, deee?" they were horrible even for KIWI accents. the only featured extra who didn't make me laugh my ass off was the guy who told hurly "back o' the loyne". u know what a real australian accent sounds like, right? it sounds like Clare! so it's not like they hav no idea. jesus that was the first thing that sucked.

secondly, still showing us backstory on the day of the flight in the last episode? wtf. we get it, their lives intertwined. they could've revealed so much more but then it wouldn't hav been a cliffhanger. then a 15min slow motion montage. hahah, come on. worst written episode ever. hurly just repeating like a dumb idiot "the numbers are bad the numbers are bad the numbers are bad!" yeah that's gonna stop locke!

setting up that Jack is going to go against Locke in the next season "i got ur back", was laughable. and i'm speaking as sumone who LOVES this show! ok enuff exclamations, i was just expecting to be given a little more credit. what else, the only bad acting that looked decent was michael's desperation when walt got taken.

so yeah as mentioned before, the ppl on the boat are some of 'the others', they're probably living inside the island sumhow, that's where the tunnel goes. no idea what the hell the smoke was, or what the numbers mean, but they did enter gate 23 and that meant sumthing to kate, maybe the other numbers mean sumthing to jack, locke, etc.

still, the best new show of the year, the hottest female cast of any show.. annnnd it owns us all.

[MacGuffin]

worst acted episode of the whole series.

That trend will continue now that Michelle Rodriguez is a regular on the show.

the hottest female cast of any show..

Too bad they have to ruin it by making Michelle Rodriguez a regular on the show.

Did I mention Michelle Rodriguez will be a regular on the show? :yabbse-puke:

That's what happens when you hire a bunch of American actors who aren't good enough to get hired for real roles, and then expect them to do accents.

In other news, isn't Michelle Rodriguez great?  Everyone I know thinks so.

You know a lot of blind and deaf eunuchs.

[Kal]

I'm excited about the new season... but unless they start answering some questions soon people are gonna get bored... otherwise it will be reduced to jack vs. locke (like before), charlie with his heroin (like before), and more unsolved mysteries (like before) that will make the show suck and people get lost because you dont even know what the fuck is happening to the original plot anymore

hahaha. i too hope they brought her in just to kill her off. bad casting choice unless she plays a blind and deaf eunuch herself.

imdb shows another new character being introduced, played by an african with an unpronounceable name, was he one of the dudes who took walt? u'd hav to be a major Recall Allstar to remember, but i think he was on the boat.

I read an article in USA today a while ago that said many questions would be answered in the very first episode with definite answers not more questions.  I guess they realized that creating a ton more questions and answering none in the final episode pissed a lot of people off.

[modage]

okay i am PSYCHED to start watching season 1 on tuesday, but already worried about the potential letdown in season two.  with j.j. off doing mi3, will lost suffer an alias like nosedive?  macguffin your thoughts....
