Snape kills Dumbledore at the start of the second episode.
was Hurley always wearing a red shirt
found it humorous that #fakelostspoilers was trending on twitter for a bit
I actually havent seen it, yet. And, admitting that, I wont be reading this thread again until I do.
Which should be in a couple of hours.
Why are you people still watching this trash?!
worse, they have time travel in it now.
Is it Quantum?
Time travel and multiple worlds. It's a bonanza!

hmm. Time travel eh?
In that case I amend my guess to Dark Tower stylee circuital none ending. :lol:
That's being done too... it's part of the multiple worlds storyline.
I'm still digging it. Last night had a couple of "OK, we get it, get to the meat" but it tied up things.
I was practically levitating for 2 hours. Except for the ads every three minutes.

Mhm. That was my guess for a while and it was confirmed, more or less, during the last season. It isn't the ending but it's cyclical none the less. Hey, look! We just ruined the ending of Dark Tower for anyone who hasn't read it already.

How is that or Montauk connected?

How is that or Montauk connected?
TWA Flight 800 was a passenger flight that exploded while flying from New York to Paris in 1996. A number of theories for the disaster have been proposed. The plane crashed in the Montauk area. It has been suggested by some that the Montauk Project was responsible. (This one speaks for itself.)
The Montauk Project was destroyed in the early 80's, sabotaged from within by certain key participants who could no longer tolerate what was going on. (Could this have happened on the island as well? Henry claims they are the "good guys". Early 80's timeline would make the computers in Swan contemporary as well if they them moved the project to the Lost island.)

tl;dr
The hatch and all the high powered electromagnetic sci fi.
still havnt seen the lost reference in King's new under the dome
You're all wrong.
Lost is actually a spinoff of Star Trek: TNG. John Locke is really an admiral in Starfleet. He brought the Interphasic Cloak back in time to before the signing of the Treaty of Algeron with the Romulans so that Humans could have cloaking technology.
Still not convinced?

I could barely get through the first season of Lost. I stopped watching because I realized that the only reason I was paying attention was in hope that somebody would die.
I can't stand the suspense-drama format of TV. They provoke your curiosity and create suspense with no intention of ever resolving it. It's not the director's intent to ever satisfy that itch. I don't find it entertaining, I find it frustrating.
Though I suspect my reaction to Lost may be akin to my reaction to Wheel of Time. I finished the first book and said, "That was okay. It left so much unresolved though." to which somebody told me, well you've gotta read the next 9000 pages to get any closure, and by the time you do, you're already distracted by some other dangling plotline which will never resolve. Fuck that, PASS. I just don't have the patience to absorb that much media unless you deliver a goddamn resolution every so often.
Lots of stuff has been pretty much resolved.
They let it drag on for so long because ABC wouldn't tell them how many seasons it would run for, which is kind of annoying when you have a pre-prepared plot. Once it was decided, the show immediately started to get much better.
Incidentally, WoT has gotten much better now that Robert Jordan is dead and a new author is writing the series. The latest book actually sorted out a LOT of stuff, and bought an end to the interminable "zomg Rand is going insane" plot.
Yeah, it started treading water in the 2nd and 3rd seasons, but the 4th and 5th were WICKED, and so far the 6th seems to be as well.
Season Four was my favourite. From start to finish, it delivered, and in spite of the writers strike (perhaps because of it) seemed highly focused on sorting shit out.
Five dragged its heels a little in places, though the ending made me go "wat", which I enjoy, but six looks to have potential, from the season pilot at least.
I agree, six is good so far as was 5 and 4. It seems to me that we're about to get some explanations... finally.
At the end, Jacob turns to Jack and says "you are now number two".

Also, did anyone notice the parallels between the ash used to keep out the Nemesis and Yog "anything for a laugh" Sothoth being trapped by geometric shapes in Illuminatus? Remember the Illuminati member who is killed by good old Yoggie whilst attempting to redraw the pentagon with chalk after it is partially destroyed?
Well, the directors are all fans of Illuminatus!....

The protective circle is very esoteric... a protective circle is used by the 'magician' to keep whatever he's summoned from harming him. Generally, a summoned thing would be trapped in a triangle (or possibly a pentagon ;-) ) so it couldn't do what the Smoke monster did to Bram.
I'm confused
I'm lost
I completely agree with Cram though, I gave up after about 5 episodes, when nothing happened, they introduced some intriguing things in the first two episodes, and then nothing happened.
Fucking, follow Chekhov's law people!
If I hear about a giant monster in the first episode, I want to see an awesome battle by the fifth.

Errr... sorry I meant that to come across as 'agreeing', not preaching... I am sure you already knew that ;-)
Now the question is... was the circle of ash around "Jacob's" cabin used to keep something in, or out?
Quote from: Hoopla on February 04, 2010, 09:28:43 PM
Now the question is... was the circle of ash around "Jacob's" cabin used to keep something in, or out?
Well, it seems (based on the new people's discussion) that Jacob hadn't lived there in a long time... and the flash of the man in the chair that Locke saw didn't look at all like Jacob. So, I have no f'ing idea ;-)
However, I didn't see any ash circle around the statue (or on the beach in the 19th century flashback), so apparently Jacob didn't require it for his own protection from Smokey.
It seems fairly obvious the smoke monster itself cannot kill Jacob. There are rules, and it was looking for a loophole. That was why Ben had to be manipulated into killing Jacob. I'm willing to bet almost every dead person on the island has really been the smoke monster, manipulating the 815 crash survivors precisely towards this goal.
Yes. And I now don't believe the smoke monster was per se "judging" people... I think it was scanning them to see if they were a potential candidate for the loop hole. And it found it with Locke.
SPOILER ALERT
KATE DIES AT THE START OF THE SECOND EPISODE
I just finished season one, and have started season two. Gotta fill in tons of plot holes in between season 2 and partway through season 4.
This and Criminal Minds are the only two shows I've watched religiously. My wife and I were both very excited when the new season started up. Hopefully the boy isn't born on a Tuesday. :wink:
I read a theory somewhere that the last scene will be much like that scene with Jacob and the Man in Black. Except, with two of the crash survivors taking their place. Locke for Jacob and someone for MIB. Of course, I read that before the season opener, where Sayid comes back to life which makes me wonder if he is actually now Jacob inhabiting the body of Sayid.
Fuck Lost. I was peeing my pants with anticipation of the new, final season, right up until I caught the first two episodes of Caprica earlier this week. I was in AWE!
i think the last last scene will be desmond entering a different set of numbers into the computer
and why did jacob need protection? he had the thing trapped at his cabin
or well did...
i only saw til season 2 and then quit, but
SAYID :fap: :fap: :fap: :fap:
theres a reason why season 2 and 3 and the only ones i dont own on dvd ;)
Because that's when you figured out you can also download and watch every serie you ever want to whenever you want?
Which reminds me btw Cain, thanks for the tip about Burn Notice, it's really a lot like Miami Vice, is it? :) Anyway, lighthearted action comedy with a MacGyver twist ... Me and the gf are loving it, nearly finished S01 now :D
Yeah, its not bad at all. I've already gotten onto Season Three though, since I have no life :sad:
Things seem to be going ok, and hopefully Lost wont be ruined with some JJ Abrams hackjob Fringe tie-in ending.
I really think of Abrams as the new M. Night Shyamalan.
WHERE'S WALTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT???? WHERE'S MY BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?????? :x

I doubt Walt will come back.
I did read somewhere that the girl that Michael killed, Hurley's brief love interest, is coming back at some point.
The directors always promised they were eventually going to let viewers know exactly what the deal was with her.
Also, Walt wont be in it, cuz he looks way too old now
Libby. And I think Desmond is married to her in the other reality We shall see. I base it on next to nothing. Just a hunch, from her giving the sailboat in the other reality.
^ green mile reference
connect four says shes an other :fnord:
simon told us of a schrodinger's cat
i think this is the writers having fun with it.
i think the show is more related to flushforward then fringe
book desmond was reading on flight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haroun_and_the_Sea_of_Stories)
book hurley found in cave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_and_Trembling)
Oh sure and they even have Charlie from Lost, oh and the lady who played Penny. I watched the first couple of episodes of Flash Forward but it just didn't draw me in like Lost. It was an interesting premise.
also flashforward on the same network so its not advertisements for another network
when you drop easter eggs other then just say a butterfly
writers work in the same building for most production companies dont they?
so his shows would share simular concepts but not the actual plotline
having to juggle that universe tho... :fnord:
I tricked my band into writing a song about Charlie. It's the 5th song down. --> :|<-- (http://www.myspace.com/theparaplegics)
I hear where Cram is coming from...I stopped watching for a while because it pissed me off when a single moment would get stretched out over several episodes for the sake of heightening drama or something.
It did get better, though, and the show has an interesting take on how to tell a story.

Yes...Why would specifically be an

Most occult stories use protective circles and whatnot, but they usually require an elaborate ceremony or incantation to go along with it. Bram desperately using the ash, along with the hasty circle made at the temple reminded me of the Illuminatus drawing in the missing part of the Pentagon.
Also the fact the directors have talked at length about how they're all big RAW fans.
That too.
I caught that too.

I'm not finished the book yet... haven't got to the other one I guess.
What did that Scottish guy say on Lost? :lulz: "Don't mistake coincidence for fate"? Maybe that had been it. Maybe it had. But Lost had been a long time ago. The Scottish guy could have said Don't mistake fate for coincidence.
Actually, according to http://lostpedia.wikia.com/, it was Mr. Eko who advised Locke: "Do not mistake coincidence for fate," in the Season 2 episode "What Kate Did," and Locke later repeats the phrase to Desmond in Season 3's "The Cost of Living."
There is also a reference to "The Hunted Ones," which is described as "a clever sequel to Lost."
Im waiting for the paperback...
1088 pages :roll:
another reason where lost may share themes with darktower but clearly isnt (http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/05/01/jj-abrams-damon-lindelof-to-adapt-stephen-kings-the-dark-tower-after-lost-is-over/) im really liking the new stand and darktower comics from marvel, tho i believe im behind quite a few issues
Quote"Damon Lindelof and I talked to Mr. King," Abrams told IGN while promoting the upcoming "Star Trek" film. "We got the rights for ['Dark Tower'] as a film. Damon is obviously still on 'Lost' and we've been working on 'Star Trek' together. As soon as 'Lost' is done, hopefully we'll begin tackling that."

of course not, but still get that feeling since all the other seasons followed that formula. I'm sure half way through it will start putting the neat little package together. And if it doesn't i know will all be bitching about it, just like the sopranos
