I'm not sure whether we'll get an answer to the light. I'd be suprised if Jacob even knows what it is, only that it's special and it needs to be protected. I think it's just a huge pocked of electro-magnetism that causes strange events to happen such as creating the smoke monster and time travel.

 

It's strange to think in a weeks time that will be it as well - LOST will be over. :(

i know :cry: i'm gonna get emotional.

i know :cry: i'm gonna get emotional.

 

It'll be weird. I just hope it ends on an absolute mind-blow.

theres a good interview here: http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/whats-alan-wat...-across-the-sea with Damon and Carlton after the last episode, it's a good read...

 

but one thing in the interview will p*** off rooney...

 

Okay, finally, I have to ask, simply because it's been driving me nuts for a year and a half: what's going on with showing the other half of the outrigger shootout?

 

CC: The outrigger shootout is not something we're bending around in gyrations so we can solve it. In the grand scheme of the show, that is a fairly obscure piece of the show. It is your particular obsession...

 

DL: ...and you're not alone in it.

 

CC: You're not alone in it. And yes, it would have been great if we had had the opportunity to close the time loop. But you can't get everything done and keeping the narrative going in a straight line. This is one of those things where we made a very conscious choice to ask, "What are the big questions? And most importantly, what are the paths of these characters? Where do they lead?" And we followed those paths and tried not to trip ourselves up getting too diverted from that. We felt that that's the thing that's ultimately going to make the finale work or not work. We got to the point where we made the finale we wanted to make, that was our approach, and I think it was the only approach we could take. We sat here in my office, had breakfast every day for six years, talked about the show, and we used this gut check methodology, where if we both loved something and thought it was cool, that would go in. We applied that same methodology to the finale, and that was the only way we could do it. We came up with a finale that we thought was cool, that was emotional and one we really liked. That's the best we could do.

 

DL: When we wrote that scene and somebody started shooting at them, we knew exactly who was shooting at them. That is not a dangling thread that we don't know the answer to. That being said, as we started talking about paying that off this season, it felt like the episode was at the service of closing the time loop, as opposed to what the characters might actually be doing in that scenario. It never felt organic. We decided we would rather take our lumps from the people who couldn't scratch that itch than to produce an episode that was in service of putting people in an outrigger and getting shot at.

You put people in a lot of outriggers this season. It feels, frankly, like you're taunting me.

DL: We can't entirely deny that we're taunting you.

 

CC: Honestly, though, the logistics of getting all the participants in the outriggers in the configuration that was on the A-side of the time loop was actually really daunting.

 

DL: Considering half of them had been killed off

 

CC: It's not like we didn't want to do it. Like Damon says, it was just too much of a narrative deviation to do it.

 

------

 

that just made me really want to know who was shooting at them tbh, what bugs me the most is that they know who, so cant they just tell us to stop p***ing everyone off.

Yeah it's f***ing annoying tbh. I was really hoping we'd get an answer, they made such a big deal of it in Season 5. My guess is they changed their minds on it, meaning they were going to have one of the main characters shot (i'd say Sawyer for ironies sake). Either that, or it was Zoe and Widmore. Is a shame we'll never get the answer to it. I'd honestly love at the end of the show for Damon and Carlton to come and tie-up all the little lose plot holes that they couldn't tie up on the show because it didn't fit in with the narrative. I'm not sure whether i'd like for them to tell us which characters were intended to die or anything. All I know is i'm sure if Mr. Eko had not wanted to leave the show, this storyline we're seeing at the moment with the MiB being Locke, I think it would be different.

the show would be different for sure if Eko stayed. i'm hoping they release a new all seasons boxset with new commentary's explaining things a bit, would be great,

 

also hopefully we will get some insight during the two hour recap before the finale is on (hopefully i will be able to find this online), and then also on Jimmy Kimmel Live after the finale has aired which is a Lost special featuring Damon and Carlton.

 

thank f*** I only have tutorial (which i'll most likely skip) next Monday and no lessons, I need 5 hours spare for all this.

just rewatched Across The Sea.

 

-I think Mother knew MiB would kill her, which is why she quickly made Jacob the new protector.

-I dont think the black smoke is the light, as we have seen the light before (for example when Ben moved the island), I think the black smoke literally is everything black about MiB and the smoke can form (shapeshift) into any body it wants as long as the body is dead, which is why we have his dead body in the same place for thousnads of years while he is later seen in the same body when the Black Rock comes, I defnatly think that is the same being (MiB/smoke) especially after the crazy mother comment earlier in the series - although i did read a theory where the smoke also picks up the memories of the person, so when it took the body of MiB, it wasnt MiB but it just thought it was because of memories etc, so now it's starting to think like John locke (dont tell me what I cant do).

-There is definatly some significance with the dagger and that you can only kill someone with it if they dont speak first, If Mother said something to MiB before he killed her then she wouldnt of been killed.

 

 

-We best see Ben/Richard/Miles again, I feel it's been far too focused on Locke/Jack/Sawyer etc, I hope Ben and Richard are significant in the finale, those characters are far too important not to still be important (im sure we will see them anyway).

-So now we know the kids MiB has seen are child him and Jacob, but why is he seeing them and why can select other characters see them - will this actually be explained.

-Will Walt being special be explained - was he meant to be the new Jacob like MiB was meant to be the new Mother.

 

 

-Is it bad I still want to know more about Jacob's cabin? like who's eye was that when Hurley went, and why does Ilanna burn it down? (the ash was moved so MiB got in there, but why did he? and why did this make Ilanna burn it down). I know i'm not gonna get an answer to this, would be nice for an answer about the eye Hurley saw though, this is why i want new post-season 6 commentaries of every episode.

 

-I really want the whole Ilanna et al situation to be explained as well, like how is she affiliated to Jacob, why her, I think hopes of this being answered died with her though.

 

sorry just thinking about what left i want answered.

i did read a theory where the smoke also picks up the memories of the person, so when it took the body of MiB, it wasnt MiB but it just thought it was because of memories etc, so now it's starting to think like John locke (dont tell me what I cant do).

That ties in with MiB telling Ben that Locke's last thought was 'why?' when Ben killed him

one episode left now :(

 

thought that was a good conencting the dots episode and set up for the finale,

 

It was initally good to see Ben etc again, but is Ben really going to kill (or try to kill) the others, i suppose his life is a mess now, he might aswell be a c**t and take the island to have himself (maybe he wants more of the light). Now, Richard surely cant be dead can he, I was thinking he wasnt allowed/couldnt kill Richard for some reason? or maybe he just never had reason to, i hope we see Richard in the finale tbh.

 

I think in the flash sideways then, all the candidates did not have the faults which they had in the normal timeline (so Jack having a son etc) or did that not matter as the island sunk?

 

Also concerning the flash sideways, Hurley seems to know of the other universe quite some bit, as in he recognised Ana Lucia, how much does he and possibly Desmond now know? and more importantly what do they plan to do, but of course we will find this out soon enough.

 

So Jack is now protector of the light, what I also sort of want to know from him and Jacob speaking is that Jacob said he needs to protect it from the monster, but surely the monster cant find it (back before he was the smoke monster he said he had walked the island so many times over and could not find it), and also Mother was protecting it, surely she wasnt protecting it from the smoke monster that wasnt yet created?

 

So Locke wants Desmond to go and destroy the light, but Jack needs to stop him finding the light, and I take it now Smokey cant kill Jack (but Ben can as Ben killed Jacob?) bu maybe Jack now has some spooky powers, i'm pretty sure Jacob had some.

 

Has Ben cottoned on to that he is helping Locke in return of having the island to himself, but Locke has told him he plans to destroy the island? lolz. Although maybe Ben actually plans to kill Desmond before Locke has him destroy the island, so the island wont be destroyed.

 

Oh and great to get to hear why the candidates were chosen and why they get crossed off.

I don't think Ben is bad. They made a great effort of redeeming him in his centric episode. For me earlier when he realised all along he'd been played by the Smoke Monster, that's when he decided HE was going to play Locke instead of Locke playing him. I can't see Ben surviving the finale, i'm pretty sure he's going to end up killing Locke.

 

Was an interesting episode. Tied up a few loose ends. I really have no idea how the show is going to end, at all.

Sky1 are going to simulcast the series finale, so it will air over here at the same time it is airing in the West Coast in America. Which is 5.00am Monday morning :cheer:

I'll just stick to watching it in HD on ABC.com :kink: haaa :P

I will still watch it on the computer too, as by 5.00am people in my house are getting up and getting ready for work, so it's not the perfect environment to watch it in :P

 

Plus, how do you get to watch in on ABC.com :o I thought it was blocked to everyone outside the US.

you can go on using a Proxy so the website thinks your ip address is american.

 

i just download it tbh so dont have a problem with streaming. i'd be too tired at 5.00am to watch it, I like how they are doing that though, really shows the importance of the show aswell.

Well the University i'm at has paid for something on ABC.com which means I can just go on ABC.com and watch anything I want, and it recognises my internet connection as being in the US. Sweeeeeeet or what?

WTF... Lost 5am Monday morning :blink: I need to set my alarm :drama:

WTF... Lost 5am Monday morning :blink: I need to set my alarm :drama:

 

or you could record it? its so much better being on at the exact same time as America as before you would of had to wait and avoid people telling you what the end of Lost is until Friday.

THE END IS NIGH. TELEVISION HISTORY IS HAPPENING.

5am BST?

 

If so it's 8am in 'ere and i have to be at work at this time so :nocheer:

 

Oh lolz, i remembered i haven't even watched the epi 10 so not possible for me anyway :lol: :(

Pavel your insane, how can you not keep up? if you have the ending ruined for you wont you be distraught?
