Has anyone here seen this masterpiece of a television program? It is in its final season and I was wondering if anyone had been following it recently. Me and a few friends (from PokeBeach actually) have been talking about some theories about it, so it could be cool if anyone wanted to share their opinions on it!
 
RE: LOST.

This show is so messed up. D:

lol

I watch it, and sometimes I get very into the programme. :F
I'm only hoping that they'll manage to resolve most of the questions that haven't been answered yet in the series... but I don't think it'll happen for everything.

Also ..it happens to be on in a few minutes where I live, so I'm off to go watch. 8D
 
RE: LOST.

I watched it back in the first season. Back then it was a great show but recently has become messed up with the time traveling. Although I'm glad they finally are coming around to the smoke. The show also follows a pattern, they show one side of the story (In the temple) then the next week it goes away from that and goes to the next side (Locke/Smoke and Sun and the Pilot). I think they're doing this to get us hooked to a cliffhanger that we won't see for 2 weeks, that way we'll be more likely to watch the show.
 
RE: LOST.

Okay.

So LOST is only the greatest show EVER on TV...No big deal. It's hard for some people to follow because they are just slow but what can you do.

This season is reallly amazing...Lots of cool characters and I hope they really answer ALL of the questions instead of JK Rowling their way out of some of it. x)

YAY LOST.

LOST > Pokemon . ._.
 
RE: LOST.

In school we actually did activities dealing with LOST last year. It was fun, also had to write an essay about it.

I watched a few episodes. I still do watch some episodes when I'm bored.
 
RE: LOST.

I'm in love with this shoooooooooooooow~

I haven't been able to see any episodes from the final season yet, which is a killer because the penultimate season ends on a huge cliffhanger...

My theory (if the latest episodes haven't debunked it somehow) is that the entire series is just one huge timeloop.
 
RE: LOST.

I actually haven't even seen one episode, but I'm still a fan. I read about the episodes on the Lost Wiki and am going to try to start watching it sometime.

I don't quite get it if they have explained it, but apparently the bomb did work. They're showing what would've happened if they had never crashed but idk.

I love this series but I've only seen about six or seven episodes and they're chock full of information that I can't process. I'll just watch the whole show in a couple days once it's all out because I don't like waiting, and sometimes I miss a show (and I've missed like four and a half seasons so it's pointless).

dmaster out.
 
RE: LOST.

bacon, that's possible. Jacob and Jacob's Nemesis control only one timeline (the one where the island exists), so everything off the island is independent. The show is technically several timeloops, as there are currently 4 timelines (2 that they are following right now.)

My theories -


  • Jacob took Richard to the Temple and put him in the pool. When he says "I'm this way because of Jacob" he is hinting that Jacob has certain powers, but is he really the one with powers?

    Kate is going to die soon. Her name wasn't on Jacob's list. Then again, in Season 3 it is said that "Jack wasn't on Jacob's list", yet we clearly see "23 - Shephard". This could be Claire or Christian.

    Christian isn't dead. In the alternate timeline, it's told that Christian's body was never boarded on the plane. This could mean that in the first timeline, it's Jacob posing as Christian (who's to say he can't shapeshift. It's more than likely he was the White Light Locke saw in Episode 5 of the first season), and the Christian in the original timeline that was ACTUALLY Christian on the island. Whether he's good (speaking on Jacob's behalf), or bad (helping Locke), one thing is for certain - he plays a large role.

    The "Rules" that Jacob and MiB discuss are the same "rules" that Ben and Widmore share. The rules are they can't harm one another or those close to each other. In addition to that, Ben can't kill Widmore, and vice-versa, similar to how Jacob's Nemesis can't kill Jacob. I personally think Ben is Jacob reincarnated and Widmore is Jacob's Nemesis reincarnated, yet Jacob and Jacob's Nemesis aren't dead. The theory isn't very strong, and it's more complicated than most of the other ones. It basically means Jacob put his soul into Ben so that "Jacob" could be carried on. However, Ben's name is crossed out on Jacob's list. This means one of two things. It's a diversion for Jacob's Nemesis, or that Ben following Jacob's Nemesis's orders means he no longer has Jacob's soul inside him. Jacob's Nemesis put his soul inside Widmore so he could kill Ben, but that never happened.

    The ring of ash. Hmm. At first I thought it was volcanic ash (at Jacob's cabin), and then I thought Jacob was some sort of volcano spirit. Nope. The ring of ash is the smoke monster. When Jacob was thrown into the fire, he just disappeared. This means he isn't really human, because humans would have burned. Jacob is a "smoke monster" as well, and the reason Jacob's Nemesis can't attack someone with a ring of ash around them would be because it would violate the rules. That is still Jacob, and HE cannot attack Jacob.

    The child Jacob's Nemesis saw was either Jacob reincarnated, or Aaron grown up (my vote is Jacob reincarnated).

    When Jacob says "they're coming", he is referring to the boy and possibly others like him. Who he is exactly remains to be unknown.

    It's also possible Jacob is Vincent. Vincent appears a pivotal points, leading the survivors to important areas. He might also be the reason Walt is "special". More on that later I guess?

    Jacob and Jacob's Nemesis aren't really representatives of "good or bad". They might be seen that way, which is why when Jacob's Nemesis takes the white rock off the scale he refers to it as an "inside joke", and why Jacob describes Jacob's Nemesis as "an old friend". Jacob might just want to keep Jacob's Nemesis on the island, and in order to get off the island, Jacob needs to die. Jacob's Nemesis refers to the island as "just an island", and he says he "wants to go home". Jacob's list was to choose the next Jacob, and Jacob's Nemesis is attempting to kill every person on that list so he can go home without there being any Jacob. The fact that he can turn into a giant smoke monster is a whole different theory.

This makes sense. I wonder what the pool will do to Sayid.

But, Sawyer says "Jack?" and MIB agrees. I think MIB would know who the candidates are. I think it would be a rule that he would have to know.

I'm not a fan of Christian being able to switch between the timelines but I do agree that he has a big role to play. He is obviously connected to the island somehow.

I seriously doubt this theory will pan out. :(

What if Jacob is the WHITE smoke monster? The white light that Locke sees? :x

I think he was reffering to Jack et el. :p

I have a feeling we won't be seeing vincent again, lol.

Hmmmm, I like this one!

Nice theories Gale! I'll post some of mine later.

It possibly has different effects depending on the soul of the person who enters it. Before Sayid shot young Ben, he said "you're right, I am a killer". Maybe if you have a bad soul the pool has a negative effect on you, but if you have a good soul like Richard, it's a positive effect.

But, Sawyer says "Jack?" and MIB agrees. I think MIB would know who the candidates are. I think it would be a rule that he would have to know.

I keep forgetting that. :/

I seriously doubt this theory will pan out. :(

It probably won't, but I can still hope. :[

Right. What I'm implying is that they're BOTH smoke monsters, one is light one is dark. Jacob's Nemesis cannot touch anything that is affected by the light, Jacob can't touch anything that is affected by the dark.

I think he was reffering to Jack et el. :p

Maybe, but I would have thought Jacob's Nemesis could have predicted that. I think it's something more important. Maybe he means Jacob is constantly bringing people to the island, even if he's dead. He can obviously communicate with Hurley.

I look forward to your theories. =)

New episode in 2 days!
 
RE: LOST.

I do understand what you're saying, (from good old reading on the Internet) I just need to read more to respond to it. I'm going to look more into it and post my opinion.
 
RE: LOST.

I watched the first season and a lil bit of the second. The just stopped because I found out why it was called lost, you have no idea whats going on lol

Believe me, even after watching all of the episodes up to the current newest one, you still will have hardly any idea. :p That's what theories are for!

Yea I still see previews and it still looks confusing.
 
RE: LOST.

There are lots of mysteries I want solved. Like the whole 'Adam and Eve' thing from season one, and those two stones on the bodies. If the creators of Lost are to believed, it will be explained in the end of the show, and it was put in season one to prove they did have a direction for the show, rather than just making stuff up as they went along. But whatever, I think they're full of it. They were making this up as they went along. It's still a great show. They've touched on so many weird and freaky concepts and ideas and made it all fit together. I'd like to see how it ends.
 
RE: LOST.

What's going to happen is that they're going to play the "Jacob and Eesaw (sp?)" card—those two brothers from the Torah who started feuding—and say that, all of this time, the show was about faith, and god, and hope, and believing, and whatever produces an adequate smoke screen.

Because in reality, the Locke guy is actually speaking the truth; he represents all of our perfectly justified frustrations with the show and the writers who have lead us on, dropped us off, mislead, and not given us one reason to think that this Island and all of the hardship these people have gone through is worth one single thing.

(I've watched Lost from the very beginning. They were doing so well with the monster in the trees, the giant flying bird, the polar bear... Never explained. But any explanation at this point is just an afterthought of the writers).
 
RE: LOST.

the polar bears were used to turn the wheel that moves the island. Tihs is confirmed when we see charlotte in the desert digging up the polar bear remains in the middle of a desert with a daharma station hydra colar on it.

not sure about the bird but i'm sure it is just another daharma experiment.

Polar Bears were explained. They were part of an animal testing program or something in one of the Dharma research stations on the island. And the bird has not been explained yet, you're talking about the one Hurley saw, right? There's a few theories about it that tie in with the rest of the mythology and crap of the island. Let's hope it gets explained at some point.

But I don't think it was to turn the wheel...
