Lost

DAMMIT! THEY KILLED THE HOBBIT! BAH! PFFFFT!

Bye, Charlie.

Okay, so Lost just pulled a BSG "1 Year Later"-type thing. It was pretty tricky of them, I'll admit. The whole time you think you're getting the standard flashback, and turns out it's a flash-forward. They're off the island and Jack's a junkie. Juliet's nowhere in sight. Kate *sounds* like she's with Sawyer, but she never says his name.

I missed a few minutes in the beginning - did they ever say who it was that had died? They never said during the rest of it - one of the random islanders? Jack cared because he felt responsible for everyone, while to Kate it was just someone she was stuck on an island with for 90 days.

Ben lied and lied and lied. Obviously they weren't all killed, like he said they would be, as at least Jack and Kate were off the island.

I totally knew that Locke wasn't dead. However... Walt??? Okay, so...this mean that Michael and Walt never really got back home? Or was this just the island playing tricks?

Charlie's death seemed a bit pointless. You would think that he could have ran *OUT* of the room and then closed the door. Am I being too logical? Well, maybe there wasn't enough time - he wouldn't have been able to keep Desmond out that way. But still - the water wasn't coming in *that* fast. They could have hoofed it to the scuba gear and swam out. And then the hobbit wouldn't be dead.

Wonder if this flash-forward is real or if it's perhaps some sort of Desmond flash. Hmmm. Otherwise, will Jack get back to the island like he wants? Basically, they really could start from scratch if they wanted - everyone who got off the island is gone and the story goes on with the people that stayed behind. I'm sure Locke stayed. Ben & Co. Maybe it's all just a dream... Heh.

So, Jacob. Just found an old comment I'd made back in 2005 where I was wondering about Lost possibly relating to the Philadelphia Experiment. And now I'm back to thinking along those lines. But like the supposed Philadelphia Experiment, the island experiment had unintended results, like people who don't age and invisible people, as well as healing properties for some and deadly properties for others, and the monster smoke giraffeabear.

See my lj for my thoughts, but I've always thought of Lost and the others/island having something to do with experiments gone wrong. We'll see.

I pretty much thought it was awesome, but I also was pretty right the whole time about what was going on.

No, we don't know who's in the coffin.

See my lj for my thoughts,

I was *just* getting there as a matter of fact. :D (Takes a while to catch up on the flist every day.)

Seems like it, doesn't it?

Another thought I wanted to share afte surfing around a bit. Re: Charlie could have escaped. I now think that was intentional. He could have escaped, but he chose not to, because only with his drowning could Desmond's vision of Clare & baby leaving the island come true.

Pushing back from the door and crossing himself is then the ultimate sacrifice for those he loves.

With the religious themes of Charlie's (and Desmond's) story, it makes him a Christ-figure. Now, whether that was necessary or smart is up to debate.

Ohhh. Okay, that does make sense. Especially after that whole earlier episode where Desmond went on about how things needed to happen in order for things to play out.

Even though I haven't watched Lost since S1, I decided to watch the last 30 minutes of the finale. (Okay, truth is, I was kind of tipsy and channel surfing was making me nauseous. And the DVD player was waaaaaaaaay over there and I was too lazy to go deal with it. Heh.) I, not surprisingly, had a hard time figuring out what was going on, but damn. Can't believe they killed Charlie. :( Poor elis. She's had a rough TV season, what with the Chief actually being a Cylon and now Charlie getting offed. Awww.

And I suspect the guy who died was Locke. Don't know why I think that, but I do.

HA! Drunken Lost viewing! :D And it really has been a rough year for Elis.

As far as the guy who died - could be. Although I'd think Locke would have stayed on the island.
