Unless this is all done on purpose for artistic/story effect and we go back to film in Season 6. Then that's a neat trick.
I think you can argue all you want about whether this season looks better or worse. It's all subjective. However, anyone who can't acknowledge that this season looks different is crazy. Personally, I think the film seasons look way better than this season. I also think the quality seems to vary episode by episode. Some have definitely looked noticably worse than others and were somewhat distracting when I watched them. Again, I don't think it's the quality that distracts me, but how different it looks.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Dharma decided to dig down to the Frozen Donkey Wheel solely because they were wondering what the fuck a rope was doing hanging down into the ground?

Let's hope Tunisia. If not, and it's random, chances are he'll end up in the middle of the friggin' ocean.

I actually think that might be the case. Even though I think the well probably pre-dates Dharma. I think the well might be dug because of the rope and Dharma might be interested in the well.

Re: Lost -- "316" -- 2/18/09

Sorry for being way to late to this one. But the idea of the source being in Engalnd is just ... well, silly.

This has got to be one of the most tired plot lines ever. It's briish and oh so secret. Calling doctor Evil...

Can't belive i almost forgot... more tired than the bloody germans as big old evil.

I can't buy the whole 'Locke needs your dad's shoes, someone has to be in custody, as many survivors as possible have to be on the plane' crap. I enjoyed the episode, but the writers are walking a really fine line with the plot and it felt like they really fell off into the land of the ludicrous with getting the Oceanic 6 back to the island.
I'm an obsessed fan of LOST and agree wholeheartedly with this statement. Why on earth do they have to recreate the original flight? The part with Locke wearing Christian's shoes was silly. I need to know more about why this was necessary to fully accept the theory.

Re: Lost -- "316" -- 2/18/09

I agree 100% with anyone who said recreating the first flight seems stupid. I also said this in the thread for last weeks' episode. Eloise said the window would be open for them to get back to the island...so why would they have to recreate the first flight if the window is going to be open anyway? Why wouldnt Jack, Sun, Desmond, etc question this?

Also, did anyone notice towards the end when they were showing the injured passengers that one of them looked like Kristin Rohde (Claire Howell from Oz)? That would be the third (?) cast member from Oz now on Lost.

Doc Brown wouldn't like that time paradox.

It may not entirely be a time paradox. It could be that, in the "original" timeline, the well was dug for whatever reason. Now, it will be dug because there is a rope there.

The well is dug regardless. Only the reason has changed.

(As far as the recreation of the first flight, just because the window was open did not mean that the flight would necessarily enter it. Think of it like a highway. Just because there is an open exit does not mean that you will take it. There have to be certain circumstances involved for you to exit. It may also be that, while the flight would have crashed by the window simply being open, the Oceanic 6 would not have "flashed" off the plane were it not for the recreation. We simply do not know at this point.)

I guess that's a possibility. However, I'm sure there are many far-fetched possibilities. Too bad we'll probably never know for sure bc the Lost characters don't like to ask questions.
