True - but LOST writers must remember what happened to Alias. They rarely gave us answers to stuff and it caused the fan base to drop - we got tired of not getting answers. I definitely stopped watching for a couple of seasons. I dvr'd the last 6 eps and I still haven't watched them. BUT I WILL! I just hope Lost answers atleast a couple BIG mysteries soon.

Yeah, this is planned to be a 4-5 year show I bet, which blows because I feel like nothing will be explained until the last ep for some reason. That's a bad feeling to have.
I think in order to keep the fan base steady or growing for that matter, they'll have to develop a more civilized community on the island and expand on their relationships. The flashbacks are neat, but sometimes they're just filler, especially when our characters end up dead it makes those episodes seem like a waiste of time. I want to see them put their heads together and build tree forts, traps for their enemies, and things of that nature. The Church was a good idea, and I was looking forward to seeing that completed, but I guess we'll have to wait until next season. It would be cool to see Locke, Ecko, and Charlie finish that bugger in a few weeks. I don't see how this show could last much longer than 3 or 4 years with the way time goes by. Walt will be all grown up by his 4th month on the island (if he comes back). Aaron will be walking and talking. Okay, I'm going off on a tangent here.

I don't think that they are filler... rather, I find that they are trying to build the characters, so that we know more about them. I think that we will start seeing more interaction, and more building of them, as a community, etc...

I wasn't very happy with the Alias finale. Seemed kind of silly to me. It was o.k., but it could have been done better.
I think all the good writers on that show, moved over to LOST, and they got left with the remnants. The end of Alias was a little cool, but it got sorta goofy and far out, almost like a Star Wars movie.

Yeah, the Boone and Shannon flashbacks were meaningless, as are the Rose/Bernard ones. Baring them becoming huge heroes later on in the series, which I doubt.
well I heard that none of the main people except maybe jack and kate and sawyer, and maybe a few second rate ones, are returning next season. so really, all the flashbacks of those that leave are meaningless. I like the characters on the show. I don't think they should get rid of them. If they want to incorporate the other people on the island that are just in the background, FINE, but don't get rid of everyone else.

I think Boone would have been a really good character to keep. He had a lot of fans. He was also a pretty boy. I posted some pictures of him and Kate together in the Lost pictures thread and they make a gorgeous couple. I don't think the actor was happy about leaving either.

Post from another board, (credit to "I am the monster")
quote:
NARROWING THE SEARCH:
Conversation from TheFuselage today
PhilB: In the final podcast, Damon and Carlton hint that the audience may have been looking at the monster and not realized it. Simply put, do YOU know what they are referring to? Of course you can't tell us what they meant, but I'm just curious if you know what they mean or not.
Gregg Nations (LOST Script Coordinator): Yes, I know what they meant. They are kind of devilish to put that hint out there like that, aren't they? I can give you a further hint: they are referring to an espisode after "The 23rd Psalm." That was episode 10, so it's basically in the second half of the season. Good luck finding it. And enjoy rewatching the episodes.

The Island's Eye
We are talking about an appearance in "AN EPISODE" - not many episodes - and that episode is in 11-23!
At first I wondered if this nixed the 'Vincent' theory, but then I believe he was only in 'S.O.S' and '3 Minutes' so I guess that's not entirely out... though if it is truly a single, specific episode, then Vincent's gone.
Possibilities it does rule out:
- ANY of the Survivors
- "Henry Gale"
- Rousseau
- Other Others
- Injections/The Vaccine itself
Still Possibilities:
- 2.11 - Others' Torches/Smoke
- 2.12 - Charlie's Visions
- 2.18 - Dave. This is still one of my favorite theories, since we know the Monster can 'read' people's pasts. But if it wanted to kill Hurley, why wouldn't it just eat him rather than try and convince him to jump off a cliff. Seems more likely this was Hurley speaking to himself in some looney subconscious way...
- 2.21 - Yemi in Locke and Eko's Visions
- 2.23 - Hurley-Bird
- 2.23 - The Crazy White Sky
The only problem with the 'Visions' theories is why would it be one set of visions and not another...
Leaving only 'realisitically': Dave (A Different kind of vision - a la Jack's Dad), the Hurley-Bird, and the Crazy White Sky...
Unless of course, the REAL monster is peer pressure.

He might not have been happy... but, every single person who signed a contract with the show, knew from the start, that main characters would die off... and no one would know when, or why. That's just the chance they took. So, he couldn't have been too upset, because that's the way it goes. I think only the absolute MAIN characters will be around until the end. I don't see Jack, Kate, Sawyer, or Locke going anywhere. Then again, you just never know.
I also think that we will find out a reason for the deaths, at some point... or, find out that they didn't really die, but something else.
I'm glad that they didn't hook Boone up with Kate. Wouldn't have liked that. I love her with Sawyer. Those two have AMAZING chemistry... and I hope that they hook up. It would be great, in my opinion.

The guy who played Boone has to feel pretty good, overall. Before he had his stint with Lost, he also played an interesting character in Smallville. Both series have a cult fallowing. Right now he's meerly a tv series 'journey man' but he's getting his face out there.

I watched the whole thing again on ABC.com this weekend, and was looking for things that I have heard others mention. One thing I did notice was that Ms. Clue's (spelling is wrong, don't kill me) eyes DO turn blue during the electro magnetic incident.
And henry's do as well. On the computer at least, it has a smaller screen. I watched the tape of it, on the 32 inch t.v. and it's not as apparent. You can see they are blue, but just barely.
Henry's eyes are blue but as the light fades, they go back to normal. Kind of freaky.
Maybe they're all robots? Or cyborgs. And Dharma is about A.I. and life-like machine people? Hmm. Maybe they're not even human designs? Maybe they're all alien technology re-visited by humans? Maybe WE ARE ALIENS?
