Lost

I have heard that this has been the plan for a while. Next season is dedicated to getting back to the island and other stuff. The final season will be their life on the island having returned. Now, how accurate is this info? I don't know for sure but the source was right on about how this season went. 

But did Jin die? Did Michael die? Unless I see the person's corpse or see their life slip from their eyes I don't believe it. I think they love to play with the timeline and lead us to believe something happened that may not of happened. Maybe Jin and Michael made it out before it blew up, maybe not. I had heard a rumor that Jin is still on the island. And we know the island "won't let Michael die" or so we've seen. How many times can a gun be out to his head and misfire? That sneaky island!  

"I'm just like you only shorter."

Yeah I liked the chess game with Mr. Ecko. He was one of the best developed characters on the show. to bad he negotiated himself out of a job.  

"I'm just like you only shorter."

We were talking about the most recent episode during a beer and baseball lunch today. My friend's girlfriend was interested in my opinion on things... all in all they weren't happy with the last installment cause they want some more answers, but I know it was all just build-up to a big season finale.

Yeah, that episode was pretty much non-stop action! I like Ben as a bad-ass, since the last couple episodes he's been beaten up on a bit. I was wondering if Widmore is somehow immortal or something, the way he said the island always was his and will be again.

I like a bunch of characters, both important and background, getting offed suddenly like that. It lets us know that the show isn't screwing around... 

Supposedly these last few episodes are going to be jam packed with stuff. I heard they condensed the remaining season into these last 4? episodes. We're in for a treat.  

"I'm just like you only shorter."

One of my doctors at work said his first thought when Carl and Danielle died was, "Huh, I didn't know they had DUI's."

"I'm just like you only shorter."

I dont think Aaron is counted. I think Michael is the 6th. I just got the new TV Guide and there is an article with the actor who plays Michael. I also think Jin is still alive on the island when Sun has their daughter. Who doesnt love a good love story?!

And I remember a point in this series when I HATED Juilet. Now I absolutely love her!

I'd hate to spend too much brain time trying to figure out who will die next. I'll just toss out Claire. Who knows. I think we have one episode left unless they get some more filmed. It seems like they would be making a bigger deal about the next episode if it was the last one though, so maybe I'm wrong. Anybody else know?  

"I'm just like you only shorter."

I know a couple of the main writers are also comic book writers, just thought I'd throw that in there cause I'm a long-time comic geek.

Hey P, I meant to ask you (and anyone else can chime in of course...): What do you think of the "enhanced" episodes? I like to call them the pop-up-video version. But usually I'm sitting here behind the comp while watching, so I really wish they made the pop-up-video noise... so I know when to look up. I think they're pretty cool, cause if I'm preoccupied w/ something else, I like the second chance to catch something I missed.

I dunno about the website, I've never checked.

The most useful thing about them is some of the background info they will tell you. Like the book from a couple episodes ago; Locke hands it to Ben while he's a prisoner in his own basement- The enhanced episode will tell you a brief synopsis of what the book was about, because we all know it wasn't random. (Days later I can't remember what it was about off the top of my head, but you get the idea...) But mostly they just remind us of things that maybe we've forgotten, considering there is a lot going on in this show.

I think I also Tivo Lost, but I never have time to go back and watch what I record... if I really needed to see what I missed, I could that way though... 

I agree with your theories. And I stand corrected about who gets off the island. Sawyer is not one of them it would appear. I read this weeks episode centers around Kate's trial once she is off the island. And I also read that we will see Walt or Michael (cant remember which or both) again before this 8 episode run is over...I wont even know what I'll do with myself if its better than last weeks episode. That was one of my favorites so far with the shocker at the end. I have never been a fan of the Michael storyline actually. I was glad when he disappeared.

They really pulled some old style Lost stuff on us. How about the island being 31 minutes behind the rest of the world? I never would have thought Sayid would work for Ben. Ben said something about protecting his (Sayid's) friends. That was one weird episode.

"I'm just like you only shorter."

I think its pretty funny that everyone keeps beating the $#!+ out of Ben. He's tied up for the most part (Why did someone untie him, just so he could shoot someone?!) and everyone just keeps taking turns swinging at him. Though its pretty unrealistic that he's not spitting out teeth, and his eyes aren't swollen shut by now. He should be a mess.

Pretty good guess. I'd say Jin and Sun for sure because of the whole dying moms thing. Rose and Bernard will stay because of her cancer the island healed. Locke is a no brainer. Why would Claire stay on the island? Desmond is my third person who will get off only because Penny is who will rescue them in the end or at least that's what I think. Of course Desmond likes to run from things so who knows.

So if Charlie is really really really dead like they say, how come the other patient at Hurley's mental facility could see him. The guy came up to Hugo and told him about Charlie staring at him. Or so we're led to believe. Maybe the 'lawyer" from Oceanic Airlines was watching him from a car? Who knows. Speaking of the lawyer His mane is Matthew Abbadon and since the writers at Lost love anagrams his is "What Bad Boatmen". What does it mean, who knows?

"I'm just like you only shorter."

 Yeah, I love it when actors I like get new jobs on good shows. A lot of actors seem to be making the cable tv rounds (Oz, Sopranos, Dexter, Rome, Six feet Under, Deadwood, etc..). I was just re-watching the Deadwood series (my fav of all of them) and was pleasantly surprised to remember that the guy who played a FBI guy on Dexter Season 2 was also Wild Bill Hickcock on Deadwood.

But a lot of them are breaking thru into regular network tv shows and movies. Who woulda thought the guy who was a friggin killer Nazi on Oz would be in all the Spider-Man movies, and now in that new Juno movie? Hell, I don't want to see that Juno movie for anything, but it was nominated for a lot of awards; I'm just happy to see that actor in it.

So who do you think was in the casket? I think it was Michael. However upon reviewing screen shots of the obit that Jack was carrying it might be Locke.  It has to be someone everyone hates. Those would be my top choices for hating. Also the name of the funeral home is an anagram for flash forward. Those tricky writers.

"I'm just like you only shorter."

Me and the wife were guessing Locke, but I also think maybe that's too easy. I didn't notice the name of the funeral home, what was it?

Yeah, that was the best episode ever! How about Jack's "flashbacks"? They were all glimpses into the future. At one point in his future flash he keeps saying go get his dad and if I'm drunker that him....SO is his Dad not dead in the future? Is he so messed up on pills and liquor that he doesn't remember? I was so glad they didn't kill Sayid. He's my favorite. I loved Sawyer killing Tom, although I liked Tom. It was just great to see Sawyer get revenge for Walt and for the night at the line they should never cross. Now since we have three seasons left, I'm gonna assume Ben is right about Naomi and her people being bad. How else would they fill up three seasons? Maybe the survivors and the others team up against the new people? Man it's gonna be a long summer.
