Apart from 'Lost' and 'Flash Forward' (one ended, the other to end shortly) I don't watch that much television anymore. I grew utterly disgusted with the way in which nobody was willing to dare a bit and branch out from the conventional by more than the tiniest of fractions, and how everything...

So...I keep finding myself wondering about two things over and over again... First off, the 'Flash Sideways' was a sort of 'purgatory'. All of its (spiritual) inhabitants either died on the island, spent substantial time on the island, or were directly connected to somebody in one of those...

Hmmmm... ...so the 'flash sideways' were actually a sort of 'afterworld', created by the lostaways for the lostaways. Gotta wonder, just how many of the other denizens of the 'flash sideways' realm were 'real', or mere 'props'. So...the island wasn't destroyed, and as I'd figured for a long...

And the new guardian of the island...for how ever many minutes that may be... ...is Jack? Here I thought for sure it would be Hurley. And Jacobs fail safe plan... ...is Desmond? (at least according to MIB, who may not be telling the truth here). And that fail safe plan will destroy the...

I'm still watching it. I've heard back and forth about it being canceled. The way its going...yes, they could do a credible interesting ending in just two episodes. In any event, even if it was not canceled this time around, I didn't see it lasting more than another season anyhow...

Ben probably knew that the cabin was built by the head Dharma dude. (not the answer your looking for, but...) Ben probably thought the cabin was empty and abandoned. Almost certainly the lists came through Richard, who was the one who *really* had access to Jacob. I suspect that Widmore...

Ok...saw a mention in some magazine or other ('Entertainment...?') that the studio ex's were already brainstorming Lost Spinoffs and/or movies. To me, this has catastrophe or one shot wonder written all over it in large glowing letters, but... Might be some potential for stories in the early...

History is something I study, though I am far from an expert at it. Not sure what languages they were speaking at the start. (Something I'd like to know, as it would narrow it down). Latin...yes, that would confirm the 'ancient Roman' time period and explain why the Others speak latin...

Regarding the time period: Jacob, MIB, and 'Mom', are all very light of skin, arguing for european ancestry. Europeans started large scale exploration of the world circa 1500 - 1600 AD...but: the other people on the island this time around mostly had much darker skin. No evidence of firearms...

I have a thought about why Jacob and MIB were unable to directly kill each other: 'Mom' made them both candidates. One of the rules governing candidates is that they cannot directly kill each other. Even now, in his twisted form, MIB is probably *still* a candidate. One other observation...

I'm not sure if we saw all the details first time around. It involves a secret passage in Bens closet leading to a underground cave with a spring in it like the one at the temple (implication being the water is linked to the 'heart of the island'). I think he adds something to the water (very...

Ok... 1) What is it about this island and crazy killer women? 2) Did the Crazy Killer Woman have the 'gate-keeper' ability like Jacob? (Did she control just who came to the island?) 3) From the looks of things, the Crazy Killer Woman was a first class sorceress: *she* was the one who...

One of the local TV stations has Sunday night reruns of Lost. So... First off, Ben attempted to summon the smoke monster twice from his place, once before the 'Oceanic Six' left the island (that effort being successful) and a second time after his return. The second time, Ben was with Fake...

Given the way things are going, the title of the Series final episode, and certain barely remarked upon issues, my suspicion is that all of the lostaways on the island, along with everybody or nearly everybody else there, dies either this episode or the next - before (or maybe right at the...
