Lost season 6 with spoilers beware

[Kevin/Collector]

I completely adore the idea that Ben and Russo hook-up in Dimension X.

As far as predictions for the final story line(s), I am not very confidenet that anything posted here is going to be 'true'.

This show always turns in the most unanticipated directions.

I have given up understanding LOST. I am just waiting for the train wreck ending! So far from my previous list of questions that I posted only one out of the 25 were answered.

My first mate and crew are napping and I had a chance to look; is this the one, because I thought I'd take a crack at your questions...?

If the one that was answered was the significance of the numbers (the list of Jacob's candidates and their "jersey numbers"), the only one I think I would even attempt was the third one, about folks being brought there through tragic events, and, even then, I could only point out all the times people showed up of their own volition (Like Juliet and all the Dharma cats), or through some happenstance (like the original Black Rock crew or Desmond on the Elizabeth).

If I was feeling feisty, I might attempt an answer to your second one, about why people are drawn to the Island, but I'm not, really. I think they've answered that one pretty clearly already; that Jacob keeps pulling folks in to prove some point about human nature to the Man in Black. Now why Jacob is doing that, I couldn't guess, and I hope they do explain, before the end. There's a Jacob-centric episode coming up, and I have a feeling that one will blow the lid off some things. Or, at least, shine a light in some of the dark corners they've built for themselves.

Earlier in the posts the question of Walt had come up and who exactly had appeared to Shannon and Locke. I went back and rewatched "Room 23". When Michael was taken by the others they asked him questions about Walt. One of them was in reference to Walt appearing in places where he shouldn't be. With that said, it seems this has already been explained as Walt was projecting himself to Locke and Shannon.

Hey, which one was it you watched? "Not in Portland," or one of the others? Because "Room 23" is the sixth ep of the mobisode things, and only Juliet and Ben appear in it. And though it seems like they're talking about Walt and Micheal, I think it's cool to note the script goes out of its way to not mention them by name.

Crap, I got the episode name wrong. I double checked and it's "three minutes"
It's the one where Micheal get kidnapped by the others and they ask him to rescue ben and in exchange they'll give him walt back. Ms. Klugh asks Micheal some questions about walt when in the camp.

Was it ever explained who the "Others" are and what they are doing on the island?

And why they wanted specific people and the kids from the first crash?

And the room that Ben tells Locke, "anything you want appears in there" is?

 

[cboath]

Not literally.

The other's are supposedly people doing jacob's bidding and possibly looking for and maybe evaluating 'candidates'. Maybe they're past candidates who didn't make the grade but elected to stay on. It's not been explicity eplained. There aren't any 'others' left at this point anyhow. Seems like after last week that those smokie didn't kill were killed by widmore's shells.

The kids? If the above is true, it could be they know the candidates are in for a helluve a test and they're actually looking to just protect the kids.

Nothing about the room either. Though, my guess would be ben KNEW what locke would wish for and had abducted the guy and stuck him in there.

As mentioned the others seem to be people who were stuck on the island and sort of created they're own society led by Richard and Jacob.

The children were captured because women on the island couldn't give birth. So they would kidnap kids and others they deemed "good" to keep there society going.

"the box" that Ben mentioned that could make anything you wanted IMO was the island. I think Ben was telling Locke that the island would provide what you needed as long as the island needed you.

I just can't imagine all of this being tied up cleanly in 4 more episodes. I know I'm still going to walk away from this when it's all over scratching my head. I hope it's not going to be too rushed to try to fit all the loose ends in.

I'm an "average viewer". I don't Tivo every episode and watch it 5 times. I don't go to blogs and I don't own the DVD's. For the most part, I understand what is going on. It's not easy, but I'm following it pretty good... I think.

I guess that's what is so upsetting to me. I love the concept of this show, and I want to be able to watch it and not have to remember what happened 3 years ago to understand x, y and z. It's a horrible series model, but the story is so good.

I just hope I'm not too disappointed in the end.

Ben told Locke he was lying about the magic box, which was disappointing and felt like an abortion of an interesting story path. Doubly disappointing having watched JJ Abrams' TED conference speech, which centered around a "magic box" itself.

 

[Larry Young]

Me, neither.

 

[Noeland]

The producers have said (in a washington post article I believe) that they have no intention of wrapping up all of the story cleanly. That there will be story threads left hanging.

 

[Starkiller0613]

I think it was one of the producers that gave a hint about the finale and it was "water...and lots of it." At first I was a little confused, but then I remembered that the island in the sideways world is underwater. I might be going out on a big limb here but I'm thinking that after Desmond jogs everyone's memory, someone's gonna make a trip to the island to do something. I know. Seems kinda out there, but thats my thought right now.

 

[Guri]

Or maybe we'll get to see the island sinking?

 

[Starkiller0613]

Yes, or maybe sinking. Either way, I'm thinking that what Jacob said about things only ending once and everything else is progress, is going to play into how the show ends.

 

[WebChief]

My brain hurts.

 

[dfrey79]

No episode tonight? I didn't realize that. Bummer.

 

[SmilingOtter]

Just think of it as a flashback to an earlier episode.

 

[clonesix]

It is more like a DVR event, which is what I might do.

 

[Larry Young]

I watched the pilot this afternoon to give you all some fresh content:

There's some Locke revelations that seem to put the lie to complaints that "they were making it all up as they went along."

 

[Guri]

wow, I'd love to read the script of what he told Walt about back gammon. Thanks for the blog. I'm really thinking I may want to go rewatch after the series is over.

watched it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg2tB_xTt9I Does it just end after 'want to know a secret'? Or is there more dialogue?
