Lost

[Solver]

My main concern is that they might drag this out too much. I see Lost as the kind of story that doesn't lead itself well to being told over nine seasons. So I think ending it after the next season would be optimal... which would mean they have lots of explaining to do.

and do you think:

1. that dharma or others moved pieces of the plane out to sea

2. another plane was used as ocean debris

3. that 815 was found, but due to desmond jumping in time, there are multiple flight 815s

4. other theory...

I must have missed part of what she said last week when one of my kids asked for homework help. Could this be another of the Others tricks? In an interview one of the producers said that the survivors in Lost were not in any part of "the afterlife", so that rules out the possibility that they're dead and in hell or purgatory.
I'm not sure that anyone ever went searching for a plane in a 4 mile deep ocean trench. I wonder if the pieces would be big enough to be seen by sonar or radar from a search craft. Furthermore the cost of removing all of the bodies to identify them would be prohibitive, so the rescurers couldn't really say they found all of them. Also many of the bodies would have been thrown clear and would have settled into the seabed some distance from the wreckage.
Might the island be a portal between dimensions? Perhaps under some conditions those who pass through are duplicated with one copy entering the alternate dimension but the other being left behind.

I stopped watching this show a year and a half ago.

Holy ****, dude...

Another episode where we really didn't learn much of anything but opened more questions.

[Drake Tungsten]

WTF are you talking about? We learned where Ben came from and what happened to the Dharma Initiative. And Locke got ****ing shot...

[Apocalypse]

We already knew what happened to the Dharma Initiative. Where Ben came from is not a question that was in anyone's minds really. Locke getting shot was expected.

[Drake Tungsten]

We already knew what happened to the Dharma Initiative.

No, we didn't. We knew they didn't exist in any meaningful sense anymore, but we never knew what caused their downfall and when/how it happened.

Locke getting shot was expected.

Well quick, go out and rent the DVDs. You can still catch up.

Now that the producers have negotiated a specific end date for the series, the prospect of a coherent (OK, I'll settle for "definite") ending has made the series inherently more interesting.

[Dr Strangelove]

I wasn't aware of that. When is the end date?

[-Jrabbit]

TV's most maddening yet addictive serial thriller will end in May, 2010, Lost's parent network ABC announced Monday.

Three shortened, 16-episode seasons will air beginning next February. Each season's episodes will air over consecutive weeks, with no reruns.

Monday's announcement was the first time a major network has telegraphed the end of a top-rated series so far in advance.

Russian guy already said there was a fight between the two sides.

Someone on this board called the Locke would die. I am too lazy to read the previous posts to see who.

I'd be worried about both Sawyer and Locke, as it seems that neither has anywhere left to go in their backstories.

Can't wait 'til next week: Ben's flashback, plus Sawyer exposes Juliet.

Props to Guy...

I doubt locke is actually going to die from this.
