LOST - Final Season - 2010

I get sad just knowing it will be coming to an end soon. Here's a promo for the first episode. It gave me chills. So disappointed that Flash Forward isn't AS good because I'll need something good to take its place!

...and another promo but not funny like the first (just a recap) ...but good.

Yeah, I just read an article with Juliet in it yesterday and it got me all excited (then sad!). I hope this season is all that it needs to be.
I saw Juliette in another series, so I figured this was it. Too bad. Looking forward to knowing the conclusion, but sad to see a great show end.

She's in V, the remake of the 80s series (that we watched during the SyFy marathon this weekend-- wow they had some tight pants!).
Ahhh...that's what it was. I remembered seeing her in commercials, but couldn't recall for what show. I recorded V last night but haven't watched it yet. Is it good?
I recorded it as well but haven't had a chance to watch.
I can't tell if it's good or not yet. It definitely has potential, though. And of course Juliet is good. She has another name in it, obviously, but I still call her Juliet.

The Lost people said her story isn't over yet, so she'll be around a little bit in the coming season.

Cuse: The journey had to be the way it was. We both feel no regrets. The meaning only becomes clear in hindsight, and we're still on that journey so the meaning is not yet complete.

Lindelof: Look, it would be nice to look back and say, "We love every episode of 'Lost,' and every episode turned out the way we wanted it to." There are ****ty episodes of "Lost" that we wish we had never written. But had we not written them we would be in a different situation now, because we ran out of ideas, we stalled, then the network realized what we had been saying from early on -- that "Lost" needed an end date. And now here we are six years later on broadcast with a show that is -- not what it once was [in the ratings] -- but still performing, and we're ending it on our own terms because we had ****ty episodes.

I absolutely love Lost! Can't wait for the conclusion, though wish it wasn't ending so soon. Know what they mean - there were some really random episodes - but I have enjoyed them all and don't think there was ever a 'down' point..

I can never understand it when people have never watched it or don't like it!
If you're bored, this is really funny esp. around 2:50 or so.

TAKE A PEEK AT THE FIRST FOUR MINUTES WHILE IT'S STILL UP.


Just scroll down to sneak peak (first youtube). The site IS a spoiler site, so there is your pre-warning ...if you go straight to it, you shouldn't see something you don't want to ...I didn't.

AWESOME!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!

Did anyone enter that Lost contest they had on ABC. You answered a bunch of questions and then random winners would be able to preview the episode. I wonder if anyone actually won or if was a way to get your email address. Now I'm getting spam to have a Lost party and buy Dharma balloons. :roll:
Oh my gosh. Mr. J said he wanted to jump back on the wagon for this show, BUT I have to say that I may not recommend it since he didn't see the last season. Tuesday's episode was sooooooooooooo confusing. I kept saying WTH the entire time.

My random thoughts:

So there were flashbacks then flashforwards, and now another timeline?

I want to know why Desmond was on the plane but no claire or shannon?

Sayid was played out to be mega-Christ like.

- First of all, wondering what fate awaited him in the afterlife
- the Baptism
- Then the carrying off the cross (watch the clip, he was sprawled out in a cross)
- Then the death
- to top it with a resurrection


Why does ASH stop the smoke monster. It was put around Jacob's cabin in the last season to prevent the smoke monster. I saw Kimmel, and the producers were on and said "something is inhabiting Sayid" ...so maybe the black monster is in him now since it seems to only take over dead bodies.

There are too many locke's now. dead, alive, and fake one/black monster

The smoke monster/MIB stated at the end of last season that he wanted to kill jacob, but it never tells us why. Last night's episode gave us a solid motive: Jacob won't let the smoke monster off the island.

I think before Jacob died, he was talking about the final battle between good and evil referenced in many different religions. Good represented by Jacob and Jack. Evil represented by the smoke monster and Sawyer. This is not to say that the island is going to literally be ground zero for the book of Revelation, but the final struggle between Jacob and MIB [man in black] will represent that battle.

Jacob will ultimately return to kill the black monster. So maybe the island was created as a place FOR the monster ...which is lame.
I have some theories (inspired by comments form the producers) if people want them. I don't want to ruin anything for anyone, however.
If they're your "theories" than please share. I'd love to hear them as everyone else! Many watchers even if they're not posting. ;)

If they're actual posters, indicate that ....then do one of these numbers...

The producers came right out in an article yesterday and talked about the theory of alternate dimensions or alternate universes. I think everyone has heard about that theory; how another universe might be almost exactly like ours but just slightly different. That's what's going on with the two different storylines. I think they're calling them "sideways flashes".

I think there will be a lot of religious thematic elements in this season. We certainly saw them Tuesday. They're almost beating you over the head with them.

I think it's clear that the "Locke" that's alive now is not the real Locke. He's that guy in the black shirt that was talking with Jacob on the beach when the old sailing ship was on the horizon. He's just taken on the form of Locke. The real John Locke seems to be dead.

I don't that's a spoiler either. I think what you said is basically what I just did in my post, and I agree. :) Can't wait to see what happens next.
Ethan said his last name was Goodspeed. So why in this timeline he took Horace's (his dad) last name, and in the original timeline he didn't. Unless of course he's just using a fake name to Claire.

I guess now we know for sure there is a sickness. Sayid and Claire? Claire possibly got the sickness from Juliet who said that she was given a serum during the time of her abduction to help her survive the pregnancy. It is unknown if Juliet was telling the truth here or if this was just part of a cover story to win the survivors' trust.


Didnt the writers say the bomb exploded, ....and that's why there are 2 timelines. We're seeing the consequences of their actions, that they didnt consider? What we are seeing isn't "alternate" timelines, but actual reality at two points in time. Maybe we're seeing the Losties arriving safe in LA in 2003, but also seeing them on the island just after an explosion at the swan station in 2007(?). ...and that particular flight lands safely in LA, but through some odd coincidence, the people we are seeing somehow end up on the island anyway a few years later.

I am wondering if the nemesis team is shaping up to be fake Locke, Claire, and possibly now Sayid.

I have so many questions.
Wow. It seems like you know what's going on.
I don't even know what you're talking about and I watch the show regularly.

Remind me who Ethan and Horace are.


And I think it was either mentioned in the show or in an interview that the Lost crew that was in the past are now back in the present. The nuke blast brought them back to current time. But it must be 2009 or 2010 there as the ones that stayed on the island said that the ones that left were gone for 3 years. Right?
Ethan "Rom" [his other last name] is Horrace's son.

Ethan was the one who got Juliet to join the island by posing as an employee for the job she wanted. He also was the one Ben sent to investigate the initial airplane crash. Also the one who kidnapped Claire and acted as a dr for the Others.

Horrace was the dude who was the leader of the Dharma Initiative when we saw Sawyer and Juliet join. Also being the one who was there in a vehicle with his wife passing down when Ben's mom died giving birth to him.

I believe the present is 2007. The crash was 2004.
Man, it's hard to keep track of all the characters.
They come. They go. They comeback. They've changed. They haven't changed. Jeez.

I feel like I need a big board with all the faces & names of the characters connected by lines to keep everything straight. Kinda like what police do to solve a crime.
Since mr. j is offshore in the gulf for 2 days, I had time to re-watch it.

So a list of those who seem infected are (i'm sure there are more)...

fake sayid
fake claire
fake locke
fake christian
fake french people rousseau always talked about being "infected"

I think it's obvious that Sayid is not Sayid. I immediately thought he was being weird when tortured since his normal self would have held in the pain like when he was tortured by Rousseau. Richard took Ben to the Temple to be healed and was never the same.

A friend said she thinks the writers showed the end in the beginning of this season which seems very possible. Remember they showed the island submerged in the water? ...and now they'll spend the rest of the season showing how it ended up submerged.
Very Cool Place to Watch LOST (someone made a restaurant/hatch)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUmiBeuxEtQ
This is REALLY good. A lot of stuff I missed in the season premiere ...like what the whisper said to miles when he tried to talk to juliet, and why mikhail probably ran into the losties. I don't agree with this persons theory but it can explain a lot if you watched but didn't get what was going on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4tENa7l ... r_embedded
With the help of google, I looked up all the last names (at least the losties) and the number their names had.

23- Jack
8- Hugo
16- Sayid
4- Locke
15- Sawyer
42- Gin/Sun

Kate had no number, which brings up the question why, and what do the numbers mean?

The whole Ben timeline has me thrown off.. esp. after seeing him as a teacher. Wondering if they can interact w/themselves via time travel, such as Ben and young Ben ...and why Ben always had a plan??

Didn't young Ben meet Richard in the jungle getting away from his drunk dad at dharma camp, told to go back to the dharma camp, only later to help Sayid to escape, get shot, and then taken to the temple??

I also saw the meaning of Benjamin is Son of Jacob, but have no idea what that means.

Lastly, Ilana said MIB was stuck in Locke's body and could not change anymore. Well he can be in the form of the smoke monster, but not take over anyone's body. As MIB took the form of Christian and Alex pre-Jacob's death, I would assume the event that froze MIB's appearance was Jacob's death.

Ilana doesn't seem to bring anything else to the table yet, so hopefully she's just there to let us know the rules of the game a la, MIB is stuck as Locke now.

I also kept thinking about the title of the episode, "The Substitute." There are a lot of potential meanings. 1. Locke becomes a substitute teacher. 2. Jacob was looking for a substitute as island protector. 3. MIB is looking for a someone to take his place so he can finally go home. Option 3 potentially sets up MIB conning Sawyer into becoming the new Smokey so MIB can leave?

I'm not too invested in this show ...really. :oops:
Isn't it nice that Claire and Locke are friends? :twisted:
I love that claire refers to FLocke as her friend. She's a mess this season.

I wonder who David's mom is? Would be nice if it was Kate, but I just looked and she was born in 1977. ...making her 27 in 2004. So, judging by David's apparent age, you may have to believe Jack is a sex offender in the alternate timeline. It could be something simple like Sarah because they had met a few years prior to the current events, but something as wild as Juliet or Libby.

I'm still curious to who Adam/Eve are...

I've heard some mention MIB and Jacob are really just playing a big game of Othello. So,Black vs. White. The object being to turn the others colors based on where you place your stones, so you can't "kill" the other or it's pieces. ...only turn them. That or backgammon. Light pieces vs dark pieces. The object is to remove your pieces off the island (board). MIB and Jacob are scratching off the names of pieces they've removed from the board.

Black vs White has been a long standing theme with LOST. The first season, Locke taught Walt how to play othello. There was also a dream sequence in which Locke was sitting and when he looked up one eye was white and the other black.

As far as the numbers and the corresponding persons, Josh believes that they are all men, so that would lead one to believe that it is Jin who is the "Kwon" number.

Personally, I always believed that he "replacements" were Walt and Aaron. In the first season, Walt was described as spooky by his step-dad. When Claire was told to go to LA, she was warned that only she could raise the child.

Interesting. I'm not completely sure about that, but who knows.

51 Austen (kate)
58 Burke (juliet)
313 littleton (claire)
104 lewis (charlotte)

Of course if you look at wiki, they say thought "could be" sons, parents, or husbands of these women, but I would find that odd.
For a show that claims to not be biblical, the writers sure are laying it on pretty thick.

King David of the Old Testament was from the tribe of Judah, a descendant of Jacob.

David was a shepherd, and was a proficient musician, as he played the harp.

Jack's number is 23, and as has been alluded to, Psalm 23 (written by David) says the Lord is my shepherd... has a son named David, that is proficient at the piano.
Some interesting excerpts from the recent lost panel at paley center --

* On the subject of Walt, the producers said he absolutely would still be on the show if it weren't for the simple fact that actor Malcolm David Kelley was so obviously older, with Cuse noting it simply, "Doesn't fit" into the current timeline of the show. However, Cuse revealed, "We are actively working on a way to bring Walt back before Lost is done."

* Would we find out why The Others said Jack, "Wasn't on Jacob's list," considering we now have seen a list from Jacob that Jack is on? Lindelof replied they had, "No intention" of directly answering that, saying it was up to the viewer to interpret if those early mentions of a list from Jacob were at all legitimate, considering Ben was controlling The Others at the time. For the record, Lindelof himself said he believed Ben was behind "Jacob's" list he gave The Others, pulling the strings he felt were needed in order to manipulate Jack into performing surgery on him.

* Will there be any further information on the fate of Ben's childhood crush, Annie? Replied Cuse, "We don't want to say," but added, "Probably not."

* When the cast and producers were recounting favorite moments from their time making the series, Nestor Carbonell ("Richard Alpert) said his was, "Finally finding out who the hell I am!" He recounted his joy at getting a call from Cuse telling him, "We're doing your backstory."

* Asked if Lost would be different as a cable series, Lindelof and Cuse said it would be, just in how episodes were structured, since they specifically write episodes with the commercial breaks in mind, and the idea that you want to have each "out" before the commercial be something tantalizing to keep the audience intrigued throughout the commercial break. Lindelof than deadpanned that in addition, if they were on cable, "We'd say f/ck all the time." As an example, he said that on cable, after The Man in Black told Ben, "I'm sorry you had to see me like that," revealing he was the Smoke Monster, Ben would have exclaimed, "F/ck!:

* Michael Emerson said a favorite memory he had from the show was flying to London to shoot the pivotal scene in which Ben confronts Widmore in Widmore's home. Because Alan Dale was in a production of Spamalot in London, both that scene and the one in which Sun speaks to Widmore on the streets of London actually were shot there. Lindelof said that ironically, he had several people tell him, "The CG was a little off" in the scene between Sun and Widmore, even though the actors were actually shot on location. Bender noted how great the crew was at making Honolulu look like various cities around the world, and agreed it was amusing that the one time they actually filmed in another country, people thought it was fake.

* Scheer tried to get Zuleikha Robinson to hint at any background she might have learned about her mysterious character, Ilana, and directly asked whether she might also be much older than she appears, like Richard. Robinson did her Lost duty and wouldn't answer, but Lindelof decided to tease, "Ilana and Richard will have things to say to each other and about each other in the near future."

* There won't be any future appearances from Matthew Abaddon.

* Lindelof and Cuse admitted Jack's ex-wife in the flash-sideways universe was someone we've met before. Lindelof said with a smile, "It's Sarah!", Jack's ex-wife in the original timeline - however Cuse was shaking his head no.

* Adam Horowitz was given the okay by Cuse and Lindelof to say that the Libby/Hurley connection will be fully revealed. When the crowd cheered at this news, Horowitz sheepishly said, "I hope you like it…!"

* Lindelof coyly noted, "We might see Bernard in a flash-sideways," but wouldn't confirm whether we would see Rose and Bernard on the island again. Dog lovers can rejoice however, as Vincent will indeed be seen at some point during Season 6.

* A fan asked about a topic we've discussed quite a bit at IGN since we saw Ben Linus as a teacher in "The Substitute." Will we find out how the flash-sideways Ben survived and got off the island? Said Emerson, "It's already been satisfactorily explained to me."

* One fan noted she and her husband were together because of Lost, having met waiting in line for the previous Lost Paley event in 2005. She asked if we'd see Charlie again this season, and Lindelof replied yes. He then told the Lost-loving couple, "I'm a little worried what happens to you guys after May 23rd."

* Will we find out whether Desmond literally disappeared from the plane (and was only seen by Jack) in LA X or if he was an actual passenger? "You will get the answer to that question very shortly on the show," said Cuse.

* Commenting on all of the characters who have troubled relationships with their fathers, Lindelof noted that for he and most of the writers, Star Wars was a pivotal influence in their lives - and that after all, that series was, "The ultimate daddy issues story." However, he added plenty of elements have come from the writers' own relationships, including Lindelof's complicated feelings about his own father, who died a year before he began working on Lost.

* As the panel came to an end, Scheer asked for a single word to describe the last three episodes of the series. Lindelof paused and then answered, "Water."
oooh, that was good. I liked that it wasn't too spoilery either.
So, the man in black used the same line to Richard about killing Jacob as Dogan told Sawyer about killing the man in black/locke. I'm so confused! And then when Jacob and the man in black met up at the end of the episode on that log, was that current day or back in the 1800s Richard time? Do you think they're brothers? It seemed so odd how casually they said hello to each other--Good morning!

And did Richard lose his Spanish accent just from having spoken English on the Island for so long? And do we believe they are really in hell or some sort of dead state? I thought I read something in earlier seasons that this WASN'T pergatory or hell or anything.

I loved how Hurley could talk to Richard's wife. I thought Richard did a really good job this week.
The last scene between black and Jacob was back in 1867. I don't think they are really in hell. I think that Black used that analogy with the 1867 Richard as a way to help him rationalize where he was and what was happening.

I think that the reason Jacob won't/can't let Black leave is because like most things, you need a counterbalance. I think that there needs to be a person to fill both roles.

I still think there will be a big twist and that Jacob isn't the good guy that the show is trying to point him into being. The show really relies on twists, and I wouldn't put it past JJ Abrams to have the last few episodes dispelling what the audience has led to believe about their relationship.
This was the best episode in years.
I'm a little late to watching the episodes. Even trying to get caught up with flash forward (still haven't seen the recent 2 episodes)

Quote:
Interview with Nestor Carbonell:

That final scene with Richard and Isabella is one of the most devastatingly beautiful moments we’ve ever seen on Lost. Is there any chance they could somehow end up together?
Without giving too much away, I can tell you that as soon as I read that script I was certainly wanting some resolution. And I think there will be some element of resolution for Richard. I can’t say whether or not he has a chance at Isabella, but I just read the season finale and there has been some resolution for my character in a great way. The writers, yet again, just knocked it out of the park with the series finale. You’ll see it as the season progresses, what they’ve come up with is pretty mind-blowing. I’m definitely very fulfilled not just about my character but with the whole show in general. It’s an incredible task and they blew me away with what they come up with.

What can you tell us about the finale?
I got the script late, it was like 10 something at night, and usually I go to bed fairly early because you’ve got to put the kids, but no, I was up at 12:30, pouring through it, reading pieces of it again. There’s a lot of tight security as far as scripts—we all have to be there when they’re delivered, but I was really, really, thrilled to get it, and again, just blown away with what they wrote. I’m anxious for people to see it and we’re in the process of shooting it now.

There’s going to be major heartbreak, there’s going to be some very emotional stuff coming down the pike. But the emotional stuff, the payoff will be great. When you see it, and as I read it, it made complete sense what they were doing, and they’re doing it in such a beautiful way, what it needs to be. And again, without giving away too much, I think people will be fulfilled even as they may be crying.
One of the big questions that arose from this episode is, ...if the smoke monster was actually in the form of Isabella when she confronted Richard, can he be in two forms at once?

The thing I'm reading is people heading towards a wacko route of Hurley qualifying as the best Jacob prototype. Not that I agree AT ALL, but it's all over every site. One good person who is the only one who NEVER compromises. ...like getting arrested rather than talk with Ben.

So, what was the point of pushing the numbers, those particular numbers, in to the computer every 108 minutes. We were back in time when they started explaining it (Dharma was building the hatch), but then the 815'ers and Juliet screwed it all up with the detonation of the bomb. So the hatch still had to be built after the bomb exploded for the current timeline to still be accurate.
We had almost 1.5 seasons devoted to these numbers & punching them into a computer to prevent "an incident". ....but now the reasons for those particular numbers to be used for the code to prevent it, and the what would have happened had Desmond not used the failsafe. This whole huge plotline has been abandoned w/no good explanation (yet).


I've heard many people suggest FLocke is a good guy, but I go back and forth on my thoughts. Mostly against the idea.

I mean, I believe Jacob is the "good" guy for the simple fact he communicates through Hurley...and you just don't mess with Hurley. :lol: Just thought there were a lot of parallels throughout the episode.

Like how can we explain all of his murdering? Jacob seemed to be pretty honest w/Richard (cannot absolve sins, explaining why he brings people to the island, etc.) while MIB seems to be telling everyone what they want to hear and promising things he cannot possibly deliver.

Then if you look at the historical fiction of the Devil vs. God folklore, the devil actually does grant your wishes as a bargain. The devil is usually shown holding a contract & the devil always honors his contract in those cases, but sometimes what you bargained for wasn't really what you expected since the devil would take a translation of what you asked for either literally or with a different meaning than you expected.

While God always asks you to believe him on faith. You don't always get what you ask for, but is reasons are his own & it is not your will but his.
I had never watched Lost til the last couple of weeks. I watched the entire series, from the first episode til Season 6 episode 10. I'm going to watch last nights episode later tonight....

I am totally addicted to it, and I think it was a better experience watching it from beginning to end. Like a really long, really good book that you just can't put down LOL

I feel like maybe they should have ended the series sooner though... like when the bomb went off and everyone was home or wherever they were meant to be. Seems like although the quality of the writing is still on par with what I'd expect I get the impression the writers hearts just weren't in it for a bit. The last few episodes are better again though so hopefully they finish it on a good note.

I do think they kind of explained the whole numbers/button thing J? After the "event" that released the energy of the magnetic core they had to release it at regular intervals to prevent it from building up. I hope they explain it further though, there's obviously more to it. The numbers that link it all together seem to be Jacob's doing, it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
^^

That's how mr. j and all his soldiers got hooked. I sent them the series, and then when they came home... they told their wives, it was their favorite show! I've been disappointed in the past season ...or so, but the past several episodes make it ALL worthwhile. I keep telling my husband how much he's missing out on. I've kept them on dvr in case he wants to watch them.


I think this alt timeline has to do with them getting their one wish, but not everything is really what they wanted.

Jack was divorced with a kid he barely knows.
Sayid is still a hitman, and he has to watch the woman he loves be married to another dud, but at least she is alive.
Desmond wished to be in the good graces of Widmore, ,etc...
Yeah but interesting how even though those points are true none of their lives are actually better....

Now I have to actually wait for the next episode... LOL which sucks, I should have watched slower so I wouldn't have to wait for the series finale May 23.
Yeah, that's how I got started too. I watched the Season 1 DVD all in a row and loved it.

I think the middle few seasons were a little bad. They had some good stuff in it, but not the best in terms of advancing the plot. The creators of the show themselves said they lost their way for a little while, which is why they decided they had to have an end date for the show.

Yeah, I'm interested in seeing where this all goes.

I love Desmond.
I still think the best episode of LOST was the season finale in May 2007.
which one was that?

I just read something about Ben...who could it be??
I love every episode lately. Desmond has become ...what seems like a 'constant' in the lives of the 815. Faraday had it in his notes that "desmond is the constant" ...and it seems to becoming more and more evident. After the car crash with Charlie, Desmond was enlightened and is now on a path to trigger island memories of the other 815 passengers. He immediately sought out Penny. He convinced Hurley to give Libby the benefit of the doubt, and I think he hit Locke with the car because he knew it would: 1. lead Locke to Jack, who I think will do surgery and get Locke walking again ...and 2. by them meeting, memories of the island will be triggered for both.
Okay... so who do you think the Last Recruit was from last night's episode? I'm leaning toward Jack, but Josh is leaning toward Claire.
Does anyone else ever hear an old cash register or something like that and just think smoke monster now? :lol:
Well I sure wasn't expecting tonight to happen.

Lisa and Frankie
I watch about half of the episodes each season, so I'm always clueless as to the potential ending until last night! I know how it will end!


Bob Newhart will wake up in bed and gasp, "thank god, it was only a dream". :clappurple:
I won't believe anyone is dead until something comes of this sideways timeline. With that said, I know there will probably be even more shocking "deaths" in the next episode. At least you would think...

I agree.... actually until the show is done for good I don't think we'll really know anything LOL
I bet this show doesn't actually end.
They'll probably leave a lot of stuff open just in case they want to move the franchise to the big screen.
I will be so POed if they do that.
I can't believe this thread has been so quiet! I am very psyched to see how it will all end.

One of my favorite artists has his interpretation of Lost for sale as a limited ed poster. Thought some of the merch was pretty sweet. http://www.damoncarltonandapolarbear.com
I can't wait for it to be over. I feel like it's become such a commitment over the years with such a slow payoff. I hope everyone dies and the world ends. I'd even be happy if just Jack died.

That is very cool. I always thought the numbers/symbols sequence would be fun to do stuff with. Now I want that shirt!

I want a shirt! I feel like I've been living and breathing LOST the past few weeks. There never seems to be a lot of folks who want to talk LOST on here, so I've been taking it elsewhere. :(

After the last episode, I can't wait for the finale. I can't see how it can end and I'll be satisfied though. There's easily enough material for another season, so I'm almost depressed to see it end.

...and I definitely hope Jack does NOT die. ;) I've always had a crush on him. I'm glad Ben has come back into the picture. He went from favorite mastermind to weak no one heard from very quickly.

Turns out two and a half hours just wasn’t enough screen time for Lost producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse to tell the whole story they wanted to tell us. An ABC source confirms to me that after Sunday’s series finale, titled “The End,” airs from 9 – 11:30 pm ET/PT, the season six DVD (as well as the complete series collection, out on DVD and Blu-ray August 24) will continue the saga with upwards of twenty minutes of additional storyline.

“It’s in production now,” confirms the source, who couldn’t yet confirm the actual running time of the new scenes. “Damon and Carlton wanted to offer fans answers to additional questions they couldn’t get to in the body of the final show.” Lindelof and Cuse have also ordered up some spectacular packaging that should make the DVDs a must-purchase for show fans.

I saw that Jimmy Kimmel was doing some sort of special after the finale and was supposed to reveal an alternate ending...whether it's a spoof or not, I do not know.

Since his Party of Five days?? Or is it just Jack.
Well, I'm not sure what the deal was, but I have my theory, if anyone wants to hear.
Just don't want to spoil it for those who taped it and haven't seen it yet.
Once something AIRS ...it is not a spoiler and you don't have to be cautious.

The people who haven't seen it are the ones who need to be careful reading threads.
Overall, it makes me wonder if the ORIGINAL idea the writers had was for all of this to be purgatory, but it was figured out on the internet so they felt they had to scrap that idea. After all, you lose all of the mystery if everyone knows the underlying premise behind everything.

WITH THAT SAID, I'm glad Jack and Michael told Kimmel the island WASN'T purgatory because it clears some stuff off for that open interpretation to the finale. Also, in the final scene Christian Shepherd told Jack that everything that happened to him on the island was real although it will still be ignored by many.

I think David (jack's "fake" son... See More) was just some device Jack and the others created to keep Juliet and Jack connected in what WAS "purgatory" (sideways timeline) ...making it easier for the group as a whole to find each other, and give Jack the opportunity to experience being a father.

Personally, from what I'm reading off the net, for now ...I think people are looking too much into the plane wreckage during the end credits. I just assumed it was their way of turning off the studio lights on the LOST set. What better way than to end with the original plane wreckage that was so iconic in the pilot and the show in general.

I like how Ben wanted to stay and take care of Alex and Rosseau.

In the end, they did the best they could for the mess they created after Season 4. I'm both happy and disappointed with the ending.
I'm really pleased with the ending. I like how it began with an awakening (a literal one) and closed with one (a spiritual one). As sad to see this series end, I'm happy that it had a definitive beginning, middle, and end.
I wish I could have the time back spent watching the show. I thought the close was contrived and predictable. I suppose if I watched it religously and had some attachment to the characters, it would have been better. The ending made it seem more like a 6 year soap opera rather than the event it should have been.

I did enjoy Kimmels alternative endings. :clappurple:
Just scanned through a couple of interesting articles...

A DVD will becoming out from the creators further explaining some of the things left out.

Seems that although originally the creators discouraged the word "Purgatory", they are more comfortable with it now as even they had to admit. ...that's sort of how it turned out.

Everybody pretty much died at different times. They weren't DOA on arrival, but what the "alternate" nice world they had created among themselves was a "meeting place" and a sort of "Purgatory" where they waited for everyone to arrive.

Hurley and Ben did live much longer on the Island and returned Desmond to "real Life" with Penny presumably because they could now set their own rules for island.

Kate and Sawyer and others did escape and it was them Jack saw with his last breath. They continued to lead their lives (possibly happy ones) but joined with the others "in the place they made together" to await Jack and all be together in the end. Wonder what took him so long as Hurley and Ben seemed to live awhile longer as did, well, everybody except Jack who died after saving the island ...so, where was he and why was he late to the "party." Seems like he should of been the first there.

They never really worked out what the "Light" was.

They say the DVD will be interesting, but that the creators clearly didn't really have all the answers themselves and just sort of blow some stuff off as well,.... we had time to fill and this is what we came up with.... Or, this story line just wasn't important to us and never went anywhere anyhow.
Finally watched it... I liked how it ended.... it was mostly what I was thinking all along.
I think a lot of little things that we thought were important but weren't can easily be explained by it all just being what they created in their own minds to find each other.... so the numbers, the light, the bears, the smoke thing etc... all of it really didn't mean a thing depending on how you look at it.
I think the plane crash that they showed at the end, was really a different plane crash...setting us all up for LOST the movie!! 8)
I didn't see a plane crash at the end? I just saw the plane fly overhead and Jack looked up at it.... maybe I missed something

As the credits rolled there were images of plan wreckage with the sound of the ocean in the background.

I read a theory that works for me: They showed the Oceanic 815 plane crash to show the mark they left on the island, like how the Blackrock and Yemi's plane survived to show that there were people there before. Sort of one final memory shot rather than foreshadowing.

If they are going to do a movie I want to see the Adventures of Super Hurley and Ben.

Turns out it meant, well, nothing.

You know those Oceanic 815 plane crash images that ran after Jack's (Matthew Fox) eye closed and the "Lost" logo appeared on our TV screens? Some "Lost" fans and TV critics have wondered if they were a last Easter egg from the producers, a clue meant to lead us to conclude that no one survived Oceanic 815's crash landing — and therefore everything we've seen over the last six years never really happened.

Well, ABC wants to clear the air: Those photographs were not part of the "Lost" story at all. The network added them to soften the transition from the moving ending of the series to the 11 p.m. news and never considered that it would confuse viewers about the actual ending of the show.

"The images shown during the end credits of the 'Lost' finale, which included shots of Oceanic 815 on a deserted beach, were not part of the final story but were a visual aid to allow the viewer to decompress before heading into the news," an ABC spokesperson wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.

That means, Losties, that we were not supposed to think that Christian Shepherd (John Terry) is a liar. What Christian told his son, when they were reunited at the church, should serve as guidance for our interpretation of the series' ending.

So let's review: Christian told Jack that he was dead and everyone else in the church was too — some had died before Jack, as we already knew, and some died long after. The sideways flashes then were a step in everyone's after-lives, a way to reconnect before moving on permanently. While there still may be unanswered questions related to that religious and spiritual conclusion to the "Lost" story, the photographs were really just a nostalgic, transitional touch added by ABC executives — and not executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.

Love or hate it, that's the final answer.

ok we just finished watching Lost....and we are LOST! i don't get it and im still confused after reading all the threads. So everyone was basically dead the whole time(granted they may have not all died at the same time) and the sideways flashes were a spiritual meeting place to get together and move on...well what was the flashbacks then, did some of them actually get off the island at that point? Andi is till don't understand last seasons newcomers and how they fit in, like miles and the redhead....

anybody feel like helping us out and cluing us in????
