You have no idea how much I hate not being able to come into this thread.
In fact i've obscured the whole thread so the only thing I can see is the reply box.

I won't even get to read this message till Sunday night :(

The finale is great especially the part where Jack spits on his hand and ooh wait that was brokeback mountain.

Spoiler















Since that wasn't really Locke, Ben got really duped (especially since I thought he worshiped Jacob).

As Jacob was dying he said to 'Locke' "They are coming". What the fuck does that mean?

Also I thought the flashbacks of Sawyer and Juliet were kinda lame, how directly they affected the actions in the episode.

I know I'm late but that season finale was unbelievably good.

I just heard this theory from this crazy LOST nerd and I've been obsessed with it. Basically he thinks that Jacob and his enemy are some kind of gods like leaders of the universe and Jacob believes that all humans are naturally good, his enemy believes that all humans are naturally bad. Jacob brings people to the Island to try and prove his point to his enemy but he's been unsuccessful for so long and now the oceanic people have like gotten far in his test so the enemy decides to kill Jacob to win. I think it's a great theory and makes a lot of sense... obviously doesn't answer every question.

That is a great theory actually. But I would like to believe that there is atleast some kind of scientific backing to it. Just passing every question off with something mythologic like that just seems to irk me. But hey, they've made crazier things work.

Yeah I agree. It would be really disapointing if they just said like "oh yeah it's just all magical" and they made no attempt to explain things. But I really just like the idea that Jacob and his enemy represent the constant conflict between good and evil.

If that's how they end it i'll put my foot through the TV at having wasted 6 years of my life. That sounds like the worst kind of Good vs Evil cliched Hollywood B-movie crap ever.

I'd rather they didn't explain it at all than have that as a reveal.

I don't think it will end up being magical and what not. They're far to invested in scientific explanations and such to go down that road.

You remember that alternate reality game The Lost Experience? Which had to do with the Hanso Foundation? Which was referenced in the first episode of season 2?

I wonder if that will come back to light in the final season.

According to the writers, all you will need to understand the show is the show itself. All that other stuff is just extra LOSt for the hardcore fanboys (like myself). Plus, all TLE talked about mostly had to do with Dharma and The Hanso Foundation. Which we now know more about than we will ever need to.

EDIT: See you all in Feb. :)
