passionate dongs posted:I just want to throw out there that the reoccurrence of the numbers is just coincidence I agree with this more than the Valenzetti "equation of the end of the world" b.s. Like the Number 23 (not coincidentally), the numbers are just a recurring theme... in the Lost universe, they just stand out more often than other numbers, just like modern society regards superstitions towards numbers like 23, 7, 13, etc. I do find it interesting the one of the non-main numbers (Kate) was the one to fire the shot that ended MiB. I also have no idea why DHARMA would insist on entering that dreadful combination at the Swan Station rather than simply pressing the "any key" to continue. I have a feeling that was less "the electromagnetism demands it" and more "we're DHARMA so let's make this a psychological experiment at the same time."

Wyld Cannon posted:I don't understand anything going on with the Ash. Why would Jacob even need a ring of protective ash if Smokey could not directly kill him?? So based on that, the only reason to have the Ash Ring would be to keep Smokey IN, but at no point was Smokey ever trapped inside. He was free to roam the island in almost every era we were shown. The ash wasn't meant to protect Jacob - it was meant to protect Jacob's followers. Dogen made that pretty clear at the temple. The whole ring around the cabin has probably been grossly misinterpreted this entire time as having to do either with keeping Jacob safe or MiB imprisoned, but it's likely neither. More likely, some Other in the know used the cabin as a residence for a while and/or spread the ash to create a safehouse in the middle of the jungle - a safehouse Jacob told Ilana about and which he may have suggested he occasionally hangs out at. As for the post-Incident question, I'm mostly sure that was supposed to be the devastated Swan site, post-failsafe. The screen caps of the two settings are very similar, but not identical - likely because they had to recreate the set - but they are close enough that it appears the intention was make it the Swan station. The hole where Juliet was found was small and probably there all along - the show just had no reason to present it on screen before.

Astro7x posted:Didn't WIdmore sending the mercenaries which killed Alex change the rules between Ben and Widmore? No, these people are way over-complicating the whole thing. The flash-sideways was very clearly defined, and while no denominational name had been put to it, the intention was absolutely clear that it was intended to be a purgatory/limbo/weigh-station on the way to the true afterlife. Who here didn't say "not go... move on" a half-second (or more) before Christian did? We all got it. It was head-slappingly obvious at that point. Making it more or something else is a refuge for people who can't let go. Jackfaces.

rakovsky maybe posted:You realize that if Locke believed him the world would end, right? Do we actually know what would have happened if Desmond didn't utilize the failsafe? For that matter, did Ben? It could well be that Ben wasn't entirely convinced the whole Swan Station wasn't more DHARMA hocus pocus.

ITILPrince posted:The problem is the purpose - why would Dharma build a gas factory? Just a guess, but maybe MiB manipulated paranoia between the natives and DHARMA, inciting such suspicion that both camps were preparing their final solutions. Jacob, as usual, showed disinterest.

Not In Charleston posted:Yeah, that thought crossed my mind, too. One act of sacrifice shouldn't wipe clean a life of murderin' dudes. I like Sayid, but I also like Ben, and neither of those guys should get to move on. They're bad men. Just because they are all moving on at the same time doesn't mean they are all going to the same place.

aniero posted:OK, so in the alt/limbo/whatever world Keamy and Mikhail get capped in the restaurant, so is this some kind of indication of their cosmic punishment? If they die in a reality where they're already dead....what then? My guess is that they weren't really part of the limbo, they were constructs of the others' imagination. They're in their own purgatories/limbos, and somewhere Keamy is fulfilling his dream of making good eggs.

Rotten rear end Joe posted:Ok well answer me this guys why doesn't Sayid have 72 virgins with him in the end? They're on the other side. All we saw was the limbo between life and afterlife. Once Sayid gets to where he's going, 72 pimply virgins will be camping his spawn spot for eternity.

I think it was important to Sayid that Nadia was safe, and somewhere close so he could always be sure. She was living freely in America, married to a good (if naive) man and unaffected by Sayid's lifestyle or career path. He was happy to see her taken care of despite the sacrifice it meant him. And then they shoe-horned Shannon somewhere in there.

You should always pull off the first tab so that other people think whatever the flier is offering is more valuable. It's like putting the first dollar in a tip jar.

In another, it was scalloped potatoes, rice medley, salmon and asparagus. In the third one, it was Gagh and Raktajinos.

LividLiquid posted:Sadly, the rat in the maze and Mr. The Plague from the boat prove this wrong. Didn't the rat experiment take place within Desmond's flash? If you're right and that was actually a flash to limbolife, Daniel's experiment is just a part of that construct and not necessarily proof of anything. I'm having trouble recalling anything the freighter guy had said that would oppose the theory either. Also, we can still look at Desmond's flashes as time traveling: His consciousness moved into the future beyond his own death, into the sub-afterlife.

CharlesWillisMaddox posted:Is my friend retarded? I'm not a Lost fan, and neither is he. But he's borrowing all the DVDs from a friend and is going to marathon watch them. However the other day he watched the last episode completely, this is the first episode he ever watched. Why would someone do this? Isn't this the kind of show you'd want to not know anything about the last episode? Originally yes, but then the last episode happened and it didn't really make the impact everyone hoped for six years that it would. It might be interesting hearing his perspective as somebody who knows how its going to end before he learns the beginning.

Bobx66 posted:What is the one thing that everyone wishes they would have expanded on? Count me down as one for the "inner workings of the island" and what makes it so special. Electromagnetism is a symptom, not an explanation. I'm actually glad they chose not to expand on the physical and metaphysical properties beyond what they did though, because no explanation would really suffice.

Wax Tadpole posted:I'm sorry if I missed this, but has anyone figured out why Jack's appendix burst, and why Ben needed a backiotomy ON the island? Yet another "Jacob did it" question/answer pairing would be my guess. edit: To expand, Jacob was trying to test Ben's faith in a "you will be provided for if you believe" sort of way, and Jack needed, like always, help letting go of control.

Somebody said it, somebody else repeated it, several more people liked it and tossed it around, and then a few people started getting sick of it and voiced their complaints, and it soon fell out of favor but defenders claimed it was because in that reality, Hurley had the world by the beak.

aniero posted:Also, remember, Iliana says something about how the smoke monster is "stuck as John Locke" or something to that effect... I'm guessing that was Jacob's dying act, locking MiB in his current form. That's how he was able to tell Ilana about it - because it was his intention all along. Basically, every answer to most lingering questions I can think of come down to "Jacob did it" because in most cases he could and the show hasn't given us enough information to go with anything else.

Akuma posted:Jesus, people still think the spiders were the smoke monster? What would be the loving point of that? The sound was the stock spider/insect effect that's been used in TV and movies forever, not the smoke monster. No, the sound effect is the one directly related to Smokey; the chittering sort of insect sound is the Smoke Monster and from my understanding, that's been verified by the powers that be on this show. We're supposed to believe that the swarm of medusa spiders was actually Smokey. Verified via podcast here.
