Hello fellow LOST fans. Sorry I haven't been around much for a while. Haven't been on CF a much lately either.

Anyway, I was wondering what loose ends you're concerned need to be tied up before the fast-approaching finalé. I'm sure there are lots.

One thing that comes to mind for me is the issue of Walt. He was such a huge part of the early series, with his special abilities (never really defined, but dramatically suggested anyway). Do you think they'll bring him back in the end?

What else are you waiting to see tied up before the end of the series? Do you think it's even possible at this point?

There were a couple of incidents that were mentioned but they never showed the flashback about it.

One was about Hurley when he stepped onto a deck or something and it collapsed and people got hurt.

Another one was about Desmond. What happened in the service and why was he sent to prison?

Also I am curious about the name Hurley. He said it was a nickname but he never said where it came from.

I am hoping that Walt will show up one more time. There are a few other mysteries they never explained, like why women wouldn't survive during child birth.

I'd like to see that boat chase from last season. The one where the main losties found the Ajira water bottle and then took one of the canoes and then were chased, and someone in the chasing canoe got shot (forgot which of the Losties did the shooting). I wanna know who was chasing them.

It was during one of the time jumps on the way to turn the donkey wheel.

Oh yes I forgot about the canoe race. Why would they set that up in the story and not show us what happened?

I hope with the thirty extra minutes during the finale they show the scene.

Do you think it could be Jack and friends shooting at the other Losties in the past in the other canoe?

I've been wondering a lot about the kids too, and what happened to them, particularly with all the time shifts. Maybe they're adults now?

Which episode was the boat chace in? I feel so dumb but I can't think of what you guys are referencing. Usually I'm pretty good with details, but I must be slipping! lol

It was "The Little Prince", 4th episode of Season 5.

They were going to the Orchid (just looked it up to refresh my memory), and Juliet shot back at someone in the canoe chasing them, and then a timeflash occurred.

It's the one where Jin meets Rousseau and her expedition as they arrive on the island.

I've wondered about the kids as well - don't really recall them at the Temple, so I wonder where they would have ended up....

It made me wonder that when I saw it, given it was a flash into supposedly what we're now seeing after the Ajira flight landed.

Would be interesting, if that turned out to be it.

Ah yes, thanks! I was thinking about the time flashes and it started to ring a bell. Somehow I'm doubtful that they'll revisit that with the time they have left. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Sorry to repeat myself from the main threads...but here are some I'm thinking about...

~ I expect to see Daniel and Ellie again. Also Penny and Juliet.

~ I wonder what happened to Daniel's girlfriend that was harmed by the experiment...she's the one that Desmond saw in the bed being taken care of by a nurse. (I'm not talking about Charlotte)

~ I also expect to see Sun and Jin more in the flash sideways thread.

I want to know how Ben was able to get Anthony Cooper to the island so quickly for Locke and/or Sawyer to kill him - and why that seemed to be some kind of requirement or test for Locke at the time.

One of the local TV stations has Sunday night reruns of Lost. So...

I just thought of something. Didn't Ben "call smokey" in one episode? How did he do that if he was with Jacob?

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 Locke, Sun, and the Pilot...and nothing happened (because Fake Locke was the Smoke Monster, though Ben did not know this).

As to the canoe chase sequence, this too was already covered. The gal (forget her name, but the leader of Jacobs bodyguards) was in the canoe chasing the time traveling lostaways.

And yes, the kids and a few of the kidnapped tail section folks from Oceanic 815, were at the temple. A few sided with (Fake) Locke, the rest were presumably killed by him during his assault at the temple. Most of Fake Lockes followers were then killed by a mortar attack, which sadly probably included most or all of the tail section folks that sided with him.

This might have already been solved, but I can't remember right now. What happened to little Ben's girlfriend? The one that made him the creepy doll.

I dont think that will be answered. They said in the official Lost podcast that it was not important and they didn't realise people would want to know more about it. It was more about showing Ben's personality.

But how did it work the first time?

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 unsure).

The result of that first episode, though, was that the Smoke Monster thrashed the mercenary team so soundly (one dead) that they high tailed it back to the freighter.
