Let me start by saying that I am the type of gal that will read the first chapter of a book, then flip to the back and read the ending. I will then try to figure out how the story gets from point A at the beginning to point B at the end. Now, with that said, once we have the story of LOST all wrapped up nice and neat (you hear me LOST writers….nice and neat!!!!!) I will need to watch it all again beginning to end.
I liked tonight's episode. I do not think too many new questions were raised and we were given some answers. We have the Oceanic Six arriving back home to friends and family (except for poor Kate). They try to get back to some type of normalcy. Sun seeks revenge on her father by taking over his business. Do you think the second person who is responsible for Jin’s death is the bald man she had an affair with? Or do you think she blames herself? Jack holds a service for his father where he learns Claire is his sister and therefore Aaron is his nephew. Hurley’s family throw a surprise island themed party and his father gives Hurley his old car back. Then he sees the numbers again!!! Ahhhhh….I can understand why he ran away!
This is my wish list for the season finale:
1. Who is in the coffin? The survivors said 8 people survived the crash but there is only six…..who are the two they are missing? And is one of them in the coffin? I think it is Michael in the coffin and that makes me so sad. I really need Walt to forgive Michael. I loved those early scenes of Walt and Michael really bonding.
2. What is going to happen to the people who are on the island once Locke does something with the orchid? Right now, I think it is interesting the way people are paired up…..Jack is with Sawyer; we know Jack gets off the island and Sawyer does not…..same with Jin, Sun, Desmond, and Michael. See….this is where I would flip to the end of the book!!
3. I need the, well for lack of a better term, ‘teams’ explained to me. In simple terms please. We have the survivors of the crash, the people with works for Mr. Whitmore (who are all a bit angry and wear way too much eyeliner), the others…Ben, the man who never ages, etc. But then who does the ‘whispering’ in the jungle. I would like that cleared up too.
There seems to be this cyclic theme and I think everything is going to repeat itself. This is an interesting theory I found on a message board:
They say something happens in the first 10 seconds of the pilot episode...well this may be it..
all episodes have been given a title..usually about the character(s) the show is focusing on...well the first episode was titled "pilot"...now at first many of us thought it was just named this because it was the first episode of a series...aka the "pilot episode"...however it was named this for another reason....because the episode was about the pilot...mr. jack shepherd...
now this is where it gets fun...
if you rewatch the first episode of lost on season one..the "pilot" episode...you see jack,running through the jungle....he gets the beach...the camera spins around him once...and you see nothing but beach....the camera does another half-a-spin around him...and poof...there is the plane wreckage and survivors...
interested yet?keep reading..
when you camera does the half-a-spin move..the audience thinks it is still jack shepherd in present time...however it is jack shepherd the passenger on oceanic flight 815...not the pilot jack shepherd?
confused?let me try to clear it up...
in one episode jack said he wanted to take some flying lessons after he got off the island...which is what he did..and in the "pilot" episode it was actually showing jack shepherd...crashing back on the island a second time...running back to the beach to see if everyone was still there...which they werent...maybe they went off into the jungle?maybe they all died?who knows...
Update: I found this on youtube.com:
I mean, is Jack who is waking up in the jungle, the Jack from the future??
So, what did you think?
What is your wish list for the season finale??
There are many others (pardon the pun) who have thoughts on LOST...check them out at Rocks in my Dryer.
Update: Trent from Pink is the New Blog has his recap up. He has a fuzzy screen cap of someone else sitting on the plane. I thought I saw someone next to Jack!! Hmmmmm, who could it be??

I didn't catch the mention of 8 people. That does make me wonder.
I too felt so sorry for Kate.
That theory was crazy...but it very likely could be true. Isn't it so fun to think about all of this stuff and try to figure it out. The genius behind this show is unbelievable!!!
We are so a like.. when I read the Harry Potter books it kills me not to turn to the last page and see what is going on... you me and Harry from when Harry Met Sally. But I also wonder if they are off the island now, what is going to happen in the next 2 seasons? 17 episodes each? That is a lot of TV.
I too was wondering about the pairing of people, but Sawyer has said in the past he didn't want to get off the island. And we also know Ben gets off the island because we see him with Sayid in the future where he tells him you have to do such and such to keep your friends alive. Is Jin really dead? Was the episode with him delivering the big bear to the business man who's daughter was having a baby before or after the crash?
I was talking to my friend at work who reads Lostpedia and he was saying that they often reference numbers on that site, that they show up a lot, so the fact that the Airplane that brought them back to HI was 1717 piqued my curiosity.
My wishes for the Season finale?
I'd like to understand what the scientist has in his book more, he knows about the Orchid and about who his constant is supposed to be, seems like that book contains all the secrets.
I want to understand better who the man who never ages is. As an aside I love his eyes.
And I'd like to understand who gave the Oceanic 6 the story they have to stick to, did they make that up or was it forced on them?
Oh and I suspect Sun blames her Dad and Benjamin Linus for Jin's "death".
I hope when the show is done for good someone creates a time line of everything. I agree, hope it gets wrapped up nice and neatly!!
I am the same way with the books! I really really hope that Desmond doesn't die in the finale. He is one of my favorites. I am anxious to find out who is in the coffin too. That would make sense if it was Michael, since no one came for the funeral but I think it is someone else, don't know who but don't you think that Walt would at least show up? I guess that is the optimist in me and so far next week doesn't look to hopeful!
This theory was so interesting that I went back and watch the first few minutes of the Pilot episode online. I think I agree with this theory. If you go to 3:43, does it look like Jack is smiling to anyone but me? Interesting. I may be reading into it too much.
I think I should have paid more attention to some parts last night. For instance, I didn't really pay too much attention when they were giving the press conference because I knew they had made up a story about what had happened in stead of telling the truth. Maybe there were more hints that I should have listened to!
That theory about Jack is crazy! But then again, everything on the island is crazy so it just might be true. For the season finale, I just want to know what really happened to Claire. Is she dead or crazy?
I do not think I am smart enough to watch this show but we live for Thursday nights!
I think this clip of the crash is the actual crash and not a Jack from the future. I am probably wrong, but since in early episodes the pilot was found in the tree, I don't think Jack was flying this plane. Who knows?
I wanna know who is in the coffin? Where is Christian's body from the first episodes when Jack found his coffin and he was not there? Did Claire die as a result of the explosion and she and Christian have met in some sort of purgatory in Jacob's cabin? Who is the man who never ages, Richard? Is he Jacob? Where has that set of others been lately and why did they capture Kate and Sayid?
And lots more!
Regarding who is in the coffin... I could be wrong, but I'm almost sure that in the first episode of the season, when Jack & Kate are talking near the airport, Jack shows Kate the newspaper article about whoever died & said he thought she might like to know. And I think, I *THINK*, Kate said, "Why would I go to her funeral?" HER funeral. I might be imagining that. But it makes me think... maybe it's Juliet in the casket?
(P.S. You don't know me... I followed your LOST link from rocksinmydryer.)
