Not me, i'm busting a gut, i can't wait till Sunday.

Go on Joe give a titbit just enough to wet the appetite (not to much mind).

Go on Joe you know you wanna

it involves the big statue

What about the big statue 

[burjennio]

Without giving too much away its........ Do you want me to go on?

[andy_g]

good one for restraining yourselves on the spoilers fellas. i'm only up to episode 14, even though i've had episode 15 sitting on my hard drive for a few days - its like laza mentioned, i just don't have that 'can't wait' feeling to watch it anymore and when its over i kind of go 'hhhmmm.... interesting' instead of the 'wow, feck me!' i used to get.

its still good and i still like it but its dropped from the heights it used to achieve.

[mistyred]

Yes. No. bugger, erm..... No don't i'm gonna watch it.

I'm like a fat kid that knows he shouldn't eat cake.

who saw the finale?

I did and I must say--as a diehard Lost fan who's defended the show against the doubters all along--I was really disappointed with both the finale and the season overall.  Is it me or does there seem to be far too much pointless running about from crisis to crisis of late?  Sure, in the midst of all that we do get some tasty nuggets about characters we've wondered about for a long time but there seems to be far less investment in exploring character motivations this season--which makes it all seem so...random.  And how boring has the love quadrangle between Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Juliet gotten?  FFS, I don't care who loves who anymore (unless Kate and Juliet decide to hook up, that is  ).  It just disappoints me that a season that promised so much (why and how are these people going back to the island and what will they find there?) fizzled out so spectacularly.  I hope they sort it out for the final season or Lost will just be another of Abrams' shows that started off brilliantly and ended in a whimper (Alias, anyone?).

I agree about not caring anymore about the love square, and how alias fizzled.  but the locke/guy at the beginning of the finale/jacob story seems pretty awesome.  Also, where the hell did those people come from that had that trunk? I vaguely remember them knocking out the pilot, but were they on the plane?

The whole Locke thing was interesting...the other story line decidedly not (IMO, of course).  As for the people you speak of...yes, they were on the 2nd plane (well, Elana was for sure).  And that's all I'll say in deference to those still waiting to watch...

yeah its the story of the island thats the cool part, i really aint cared for the love square at all, probably cause its writen exclusively for women

I'm telling you, all the writers need to do to breathe new life into it is to draw upon Lizzy Mitchell's existing *ahem* body of work.



Sub Kate in for Jolie there and the thing practically writes itself.  Sorted.

went online a bit, and now I remember what they were doing before, it was just so long ago it seems. Also the guy that helps Ilana, was the same guy in the van that asked Miles "what lies in the shadow of the statue"

That's one of my frustrations this season...they did a poorer job, IMO, of keeping the various plot threads going.  The other people that crashed and were left behind by Locke, Sun etc. just dropped off our radar for ages whereas, in past seasons, there'd be little reminders that they were still in the picture sprinkled into the season's story.

Also, could we have a little backstory on this fella please...like who p!ssed in his cornflakes?

I mean seriously, that dude does not want to stop drilling at any cost. It was a bit ridiculous.

watched the finale -man that was awesome -how cool is Jacob (no spoilers now ) it had everything -even a ufc bout between jack and sawyer    Not sure what the crack is with John Locke ?

[JoeTerp]

Not sure what the crack is with John Locke ?

I think it has a lot to do with this guy : 

FIFTH person from Deadwood to be on Lost.

[burjennio]

im still thinking about it today, its that mindblowing. F*ckin love this show. You know what this isnt a spoiler free zone, WTF is up with Locke

you know what surprised me at the time but makes more sense now:

How both Ben and Richard were so surprised that Locke died and came back to life.  I wouldn't think something like that would come as any kind of shock to them as they have probably seen the island do some just as crazy things, but there is a running line in the show "dead is dead."
