    A plan? What kind of plan would Jack have other than Sayed? I love his character but he's not as shrewd as Henry.

    I watched it a couple times, I don't think theres that much to it. It looks as though there were a couple guys. One white guy who pulled up with Henry who was actually driving the boat. The last person off the boat before it sets off is a short haired black guy.

    Good going Locke. What was the deal with Ecko? I don't recall his brother telling him to push the button in his dreams, yet he's willing to light dynamite to blow the hatch to get to it. And the dumb ass was 3 feet away from the explosives.

    So is the tree ripper upper monster just the smoke or is it a peglegged four toed colossus?

    Another question


    How come the guy (forgot his name) didn't turn on the blue light so he could see where he left off on the map he was drawing on the blast door?

    Kelvin.

    It could be that the lights only come on when there is a full lockdown, and maybe not by being hotwired.

    Maybe Kelvin didn't want Desmond to see. Maybe he wasn't writing anything new at all and was just tracing over things that were already written. We know he was leaving the hatch to go fix the boat, I doubt he would have enough time every two hours to go fix a boat and travel to different parts of the island to add to his map.

    So is Michael still going to be on the show or what? Seems like he's going to be rescued, and if he's not, I can't imagine how he's going to coexist with everyone else on the island. He killed two people and led them all into a trap. Sayid knows that, and Hurley knows that. There's no way anyone is gonna forgive him for all that.

    the hatch door that was opened at the others camp, is that on the map, or is that just supped to be a diversion?

    could that have been the flame, or c4 on the map?

    ALSO, they told michael to follow the compass, but wouldn't that big magnetic pulse from the swan hatch jack up the compass?

    Unless he helps rescue the ones he lead into a trap. I think Walt will talk him into turning around and helping their friends.

    I hope not. Michael is my least favorite character. Never liked him but I doubt that if Walt is some kind of wonderkid, they'll let him leave the story. Hopefully they'll work in Walt through flashbacks sans dad.

    If only Libby were able to see Desmond and Sayid able to see Kelvin...man...

    Anyway, can someone tell me the link between Penelope's dad and the project?

    Wow, so much to cover.

    First of all, I like that they sort of explained the hatch (the electromagnetism buildup), but if by pushing the button they have the ability to siphon off whatever energy has built up, why not just constantly discharge whatever energy is building up into whatever they are discharging? I suppose that's more of a "disbelief suspension" thing.

    I don't know where to begin on the statue foot with 4 toes. I'm glad Sayid mentioned it only had four toes, because I didn't pick up on it the first time they showed it. Assuming it is somehow aliens, that would be a totally new dimension they are sending us in. However, I think it is much more likely to be part of some genetic alteration experiment or something.

    As was mentioned by someone else, I don't think Locke, Ecko or Desmond are dead. Firstly, Ecko had just started becoming interesting again. Secondly, you have to have Desmond still around if his woman is going to come to their rescue.

    What I find very intriguing is the idea that the giant magnet brought down the Lost plane. With as much strange interaction as all the Lostaways have had in flashbacks, you get the feeling like they were all somehow brought here for a reason. But the Others nor anyone else couldn't have predicted that Desmond would let the countdown reach zero at exactly the moment he did, so it makes it seem as if the plane crashing was just blind luck. Weird.

    The Others definitely didn't seem surprised by the sound and brilliant white light when the hatch blew. Judging by Henry telling Locke that he didn't push the button when the food lockdown took place, they definitely wanted the hatch's electromagent to explode like that. And going off that assumption, it would seem Henry Gale (now that we know he is their leader, I wish we had a different name for him--at least now we have a name for Beardo) wanted Locke dead, since not pushing the button is damn near a death sentence for whoever is in the hatch (all the metal flying around if not the explosion). That also contradicts what he told Locke (that he was coming to get him).

    Penelope's dad must somehow be related to the original Hanso that funded the DHARMA group. But maybe he took all the equipment that was originally made and used with good intentions and has twisted it to his own ends. He certainly doesn't seem like a nice guy. It makes sense that he used the island to trap Desmond to get him away from his daughter.

    Another thing I find odd. Why were they injecting Claire's baby with that stuff when it was still unborn if the stuff appears to do nothing? Desmond stopped injecting it, and he's not sick or anything. Maybe it does have some purpose, but not one that is easily observable to the naked eye when you stop taking it.

    As others mentioned before, it does look as if Jack has something in mind to escape, if not a full blown plan involving Sayid. I also got the impression that Michael was planning on doing something to help them by the way he looked at them as he drove off in the boat. Season premiere will be a good one, I imagine. I will post more as I think of things I wanted to talk about. My mind is blanking out on me now.

    I don't see how Sayid can have a plan now, the plan was for him to help them at the camp that michael told them they were going to which was empty. He doesn't know where they are now.

    Yeah, but he has a boat, and they were out on a pier on the water where someone could easily see them if they wandered around to that little cove. It might not be something that Jack and Sayid discussed before they left, but if Jack happened to see Sayid off in the distance on the shore, he might know that he was planning on tailing them wherever they go.

    Wow - what a show!

    So many questions were answered, but so many new ideas were brought up.

    I have to watch both seasons again...... I feel so confused. So much happens - so many characters lives are entwined.

    This is definitely the best show on television not named 24.

    it's a SEASON finale, not the show's finale. name another show that gives you all the answers in two seasons. they have to give us a few cliffhangers to look forward to next season.

    uh...turns out Ecko was right. there was serious significance to pushing those buttons.

    the whole show is about faith. in this case it's about believing that what you're doing has some greater purpose...no matter how mundane or small it may seem.

    What's odd is the effect finding The Pearl hatch had on Locke and Ecko. It had completely opposite, polarizing results. Ecko, who couldn't care less about the hatch before the discovery, suddenly realizes it is the most important thing he can be doing and makes it his business to push the button. Locke takes the video to heart and gives up any hope that the button has meaning.

    But the end result is the same, one guy is still manning the hatch. They were both sent visions/dreams telling them how to find the Pearl hatch, so obviously the Others/whoever sent the dreams wanted both of them to be there. Did they not intend for Ecko to have whatever unique insight he had concerning the Swan hatch and it's button? It was pretty obvious from the finale that the Others wanted the Losties to stop pushing the button, for whatever reason. But it is not obvious at all that the dreams are being sent by the Others. Could be a completely outside force at work here.

    Man, when the intentions are so muddled and the results are so muddled, it just seems damned impossible to figure this stuff out on your own. I suppose they did that on purpose.
