LOST... the season finale — Page 2

I thought it was kinda lame....draggin it out for 2 hours...and the whole creepy kid-napping....."Deliverance" anyone?

Just think of the fun that will be had all this summer. We'll be mulling over evry little tidbit. Much like a few seasons ago on the West Wing (remember "who got hit?!)
I for one love cliff hangers as long as the show is coming back.
(If anyone from CBS is reading this thread!)

I don't think it was ever explained why Walt doesn't want them to open the hatch (though the Prophet of God thing is probably about right) and Hurley didn't want to open it because those infamous numbers he's always thinking about were on the side of the hatch.

I, too, missed the monster. There were some shadow-y things around...

I do remember thinking "Please God, make it a T-Rex!"

---

OnTheAisle, I think Huryley's objection was less "Don't blow open the hatch" and more "don't open the hatch period"... after Hurley's unrelenting bad luck since winning the lottery with those numbers, there's no way anything good could come of it.

I'm not sure what ABC's doing about reruns, but the full season comes out on DVD in the fall!

That's what I took away from it also NC. Hurley's story all night was about luck.

I was quite pleased with the season finale, especially the death of the high school science teacher. That was wild. I think the "others" do want Claire's baby, but Walt was an easy catch and the French woman now appears to the castaways to be crazier than ever. As for the monster, I think it is mechanical in nature based on the sound effects used in the show last night. And the others may be underground. Personally, I liked that too much was not revealed. I'm looking forward to season 2. Also, it was revealed several episodes ago that the numbers were on the hatch.

Spoilers!!


Charlie-heroine
Claire-naming Aaron & I wish that her and Charlie would just get together already!
Sayid-confused as to how he can still love Nadia when he is now with Shannon... or doesn't he anymore?
Walt-I knew they were going to come for him!!!
Jack-I also knew that he put the dynamites in his own bag and not Kate's after he took off his backpack when the "mysterious creature" came...

Not to be mean or anything, but now that the hatch is open... there is no way that Hurley is going to be able to get in anyway. And I am afraid because Walt would know what not to open becuase he is psycho and Hurley is bad luck and the numbers! What an amazing season finale... and I can't wait for it to start all over again, and I can't believe I have to wait so long...

Sorry for bumping a dead thread. I'm a new Losthead. I watched the season finale from a tape a few days ago out of boredom, and now I'm hooked and stuck with re-runs to fill in the blanks. (I missed the first two episodes, and have just taped episode 3 - I want to read the TWOP recaps of 1 and 2 before I view 3 though.)

A few questions I have about the season finale so if someone could please fill in the blanks, I'd be much obliged:

1. Is Hurley Hugo? And if so, is he the one worth $160m?

2. What's up with Rousseau? Does she have anything to do with that walkie-talkie that had the same mutterings on a loop for 16 years?

3. Who are the "regulars" on the show, and who are the newbies? Was it expected that Azt (sp?) would be blown up?

I also found some new spoilers for season 2.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the world's first official "Lost" convention in Burbank over the weekend, cast & crew members made an appearance and spoke a little about secrets to be revealed in the show's much anticipated second season and The LA Times has done an in-depth article on what was said. Amongst the revelatory tidbits (MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD):

- At the end of a Q&A session with several of the show's writers, one audience member shouted, "Don't kill Sawyer," referring to the island's hunky bad boy. Executive producer Damon Lindelof replied, "We won't. But he did get shot, which means his shirt will be off in a future episode." As female crowd members whooped, Lindelof added, "And he'll be wet" (due to Sawyer's fall into the ocean).

- "The plane did not crash by accident," Lindelof told the crowd. "It crashed for a very specific reason." But he dismissed speculation that someone aboard the plane caused the crash. "I will tell you today that is not the case."

- Lindelof promises "Season 2 is gonna get weird" - though he and other writers promised the mysteries wouldn't drag on as long as "The X Files," which ran nine seasons. What's inside the mysterious hatch will be interesting, but not as interesting as the effect it has on the John Locke character.

- Finally, and not surprisingly, the rear section of the plane - and additional survivors - will be discovered during the second season.

Thanks HRH! (Her Royal Highness?)

1) Has Hurley voiced this concern to anyone? When that Evangeline Lilly girl asked him what he was muttering, he didn't explain to her the history.

2) What's Rousseau's deal? She was in a plane crash 16 years ago and the "others" took her baby? Was she the only survivor? Is her kid with the pirates now?

*spoiler re: season 2*

3) I take it if Rose's hubby was in the back of the plane, then he'll be found alive with Michelle Rodriguez's character?

4) What was Evangeline Lilly's character (what's her name??) doing time for? Are both her and Sawyer murderers?

5) How come Jack and Locke didn't discuss the monster/chain thingy after it happened? Has this happened before? Why didn't we get to see what it was, or what Jack was looking at?

---

I'm going to watch the reruns but it seems like such a daunting task and I've heard the middle of the season was a bit dry and plodding, so I'd rather know a few of the main tidbits early so I can have something to anticipate and I'll want to watch it unfold.

---

A...polar bear? *beat*



Okay then. I think that's all for now. Thanks so much for the explanations! I can't wait to start watching the re-runs. Looks like Sex and the City and Angels in America will just have to wait!

Cheers!

We didn't get into this show until the summer reruns - but loved it and then we were completely flabbergasted when they decided to skip several episodes to fit it into their schedule - so we went and bought the DVDs and just got caught up last night - I think this show is simply tremendous. I love being left in the dark and having to try to figure it out for myself. I've developed a theory early on that may have been completely off the mark - but my original thought was that they are all dead and this is a form of purgatory - it's God's way of testing them to see if they will move on to heaven or hell. They each seem to have something to be sorry for in their past, and several have moved forward and done very redeeming things in this season on the island. The island is sort of a metaphor for God, I think. I think that's where Locke is heading with his ideas also. Remember, last night he said to Jack - you're a man of science and I'm a man of faith. I'm thinking it's all about the afterlife. Remember in one of the earliest episodes when Rose (the african american woman who we've only seen a couple times) said that she was sure that her husband was alive - because he was in the back of the plane? I think that means that he survived and she didn't. But I could be completely off the mark. It IS fun to try and figure it all out. And whether I'm right or not - I love the writing, performances, direction and special affects. It's really much better than a Steven Speilberg movie, in my opinion.
