Did you watch the finale of this season? I can't wait for the final season.

Why didn't they kill the Captain of the Sub? The Jewish writers had to script someone shooting the Muslim Saied.
Yeah wtf. You think you know whats going on and then they throw something at you and your whole idea of it all is thrown out the window. It will be interesting to see what happens. Wish they would of gave us a little something after the explosion.
i thought the premise of this show was that a plane crashed on an island....
and of course Jacob was reading Flannery O'Connor. perfect.
I'm embarrassed at my lack of exposure to literary works, but what was the significance of that book, "What Rises Must Converge", I believe.
Also, the finale was awesome.
Yeah, I liked seeing the plug for Flannery O'Connor. I'm reading her biography right now.
As to the show, I was a big fan in the beginning, but it's jumped the shark worse than just about anything I've ever seen.
There a lot of LOST threads on here, I figure I would bump the most current one (i think). So who's watching tonight? I'm not debating which season was great which one sucked or why you don't watch anymore. Just want to hear people's idea's how it will all end or what is going on during this season. So idea's? Predictions?
Here's my two, they start back on the day of the crash which doesn't happen, but b/c they messed with time things go all wrong a la butterfly effect.
Second Vincent is Jacob...all along.
Two universes now? Nah....I bet the magnetic field is somehow restored and they all somehow end up back on the plane and bamm! Shit I dunno.

Remember, there is some reason that the smoke monster couldn't just kill Jacob straight up. There is some higher power that we have yet to find out about. Otherwise the smoke monster, wouldn't need a loop hole. I also think the real Locke will somehow be incorporated more in this season. He looked so dissapointed when the plane landed, Jack a little too. Almost like they were expecting something. And all of the characters are making some kind of connection with each other even when the plane lands in LA. I don't see them all back on the island for some reason, it can't be that simple.
And remember the Smoke monster says he wants to "go back". And killing off Jacob and the others seems to have something to do with him leaving the island. Once the others have realized he killed Jacob they are expected an attack. And remember he has had chances to leave, there was a chopper, the ship and he never ever intervened or even really revealed himself. There is a higher power and its part of what I presume will get him off the island.
Jacob and the smoke monster (lets call him "Esau") are brothers and minor deities of some sort. Jacob is a god of healing and Esau of destruction. (But you should not necessarily consider them good and evil; they are different sides of the same coin.) Each of them can only be killed by the leader of his own followers. That's why Esau-Locke had to trick Ben into killing Jacob.
That's also why it was so important that Sayid survive; as the best assassin and torturer on the planet, he is effectively the head of Esau's tribe and the only one who can kill Esau.
I think Jacob didn't mind dying so much because he knew he could reanimate corpses like his brother. (Also, like Obi-Wan, he knew that if he was struck down now, he would become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.)
Jacob is the one who stole Jack's father's corpse off the plane in the alternate reality along with all the knives. So we will be seeing Jack's dad again, only this time Jacob will be inhabiting his body, not Esau like before.
how do you know all this, this is very insightful almost more so than lostpedia.
Final Season of 'Lost" Promises to Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever

This is why I lost interest in this show...I just want to see how it ends now. Too much mental gymnastics. I don't have the time or energy for that these days.
Basically I can or you can come up with 100 different explanations that all seem right and all will be wrong.
Still...should be a fun show to watch every now and then.
Alan
Thanks, it was just a theory. I think it needs some work because Ben has summoned the smoke monster on a bunch of occasions, so he has to have some influence over it.
Maybe the smoke monster is just Jacob's guard dog for the island. It does travel through Cerberus vents...
Alan, frankly I'd rather discuss crackpot theories about Lost than watch anything else on television.
But we have seen the actual character who plays the smoke monster(Titus Welliver) haven't we? He actually tells Jacob he wants to kill him because he doesn't like the fact that Jacob is inviting so many people to the island thus causing a war to develop on an otherwise peaceful island. I don't know much about mythology and I think that puts me at a slight disadvantage when it comes to analyzing the show fully. But yeah I love shows or movies that leave you guessing. You should rent Memento if you haven't seen it, it leaves a lot to speculation, i hope LOST doesn't have an ending that is completely open ended though.
I've really lost interest in "Lost" ... I thought once the time travel element was introduced, there is no limit to what could happen next, which might sound exciting but it's the opposite of that. I allowed myself to get invested in the original characters, many of whom have been marginalized.
I'm sorry I ever allowed myself to get sucked into it and spend so much time on it. It won't happen again.
I'm going to laugh if this show ends in a similar way to the "Dream" season of the show Dallas. The last episode will have someone wake up and realize that the entire show was just a dream!

We are way past that, I'm not huge on the parallel universe plot, that's just a pretty version of flash forwards/alternate time lines. We'll see how it plays out, but I think it is obvious that 'everyone gets drawn together even without the plane crashing'.
Either way, I am still going to watch, and debate.
