Hm well I guess I don't remember that
How would they know that, I wonder?

Moopher

It's the Others, what don't they know?

cracksky

The fact that Sayid was tortured nearly the same way twice for the same reason makes me think that Rousseau was really an Other and the real Rousseau was long dead like that other Other said.

malichai

Think horses, not zebras.

RoyalTea

the thing that is going to piss me off about this season is the fans' need for every single little detail to be explicitly spelled out or else it's "ambiguous."

GuessWho

You sure about that?

The fact that Smokey/Man in Black can take the human form of anyone he wants (such as Locke) leads me to believe that Island Christian was really Smokey/Man in Black all along. After all, it was Christian who took Locke "the rest of the way" and showed him the big wheel...

Groucho

No kidding. The Rousseau/Clair parallel is probably one of the most obvious things they've ever done on the show and yet we're still arguing it. I think a guy could've come out in a smoking jacket, turned directly to the audience and said "See? Claire now resembles Rousseau! No ambiguity here, folks!" and there would still be arguments.

RoyalTea

I'm sure they'll have something like that next week in the pop-up version of the show.

Groucho

"Pop-ups aren't canon!"

I wish the pop-ups would have less "obvious plot" stuff and more "behind the scenes" stuff. In fact, they never have behind the scenes stuff.

I DO NOT remember Kate "staging a prison break" like he said and her knocking him out with the butt of her rifle. He also said Sawyer shot someone on his way out when he left the temple...didnt see that either.

That falls into my category of 'reanimated dead' sorry if I used a misleading term...

I didn't come here for an argument, I came for abuse.

Around the seven-minute mark.

Who are the whispers? Is it the smoke monster, Others, or a result from the island skipping time?

Palaver

Yeah, I get the metaphor, but still, there needs to be some 'splainin here. Do they have relatives of all the important Losties hanging around in closets? That was one of the biggest WTF moments for me in the show. Some level of closure would be nice.

Didn't know that. Good to hear.

Matthew Ackerly

Lockes' dad explains this to Sawyer. He was in a car accident in Tallahasse and next thing he knew, a bag was thrown over his head and knocked out.


It's obvious they kidnapped him and brought him to the Island

I bought the issue of EW which claimed to have revealing theories and answers about Lost. Yea right. I was disappointed when the writers stated that they will not be answering every single question on the show. Only ones that are important to the characters. They even said it may not be possible to explain what the Island is exactly.

In other words, a lot of stuff will just be left to your imagination.

Palaver

At the time it seemed like a strange set of events. It's a lot of work to kidnap someone thousands of miles away on the off chance that you might need to mess with Locke's head later.

I guess compared to some of the events we've seen since then, it is somewhat mild in comparison.

Pointyskull

I'm good with that.

I've enjoyed the journey immensely and I trust Lindelof/Cuse will deliver when it comes to the finale.

Michael Corvin

I didn't even think this was a question anymore.

Goldblum

Ding ding ding. Plus the older he grew, the worse of an actor he apparently became.

Groucho

Bah, they could explain the Island in two words:

Superman07

It's bigger on the inside!

DRG

It's disappointing, but I understand where they are coming from. If none of the characters have an interest in knowing the answer to something, and there is no natural way to integrate that revelation into the plot, it's pretty hard to address it without resorting to some artificial plot device.
