Lost - Season Three

[Corona]

Awesome finale.

One thing I don't understand is how could they celebrate with Naomi lying with knife in her back. :blink: I mean they didn't even check if she's dead...

yea and what happened locke cant kill anyone :p

[SuperJediMedia]

Is Naomi really dead? for all we know, Jack could save her

[SuperJediMedia]

Alright here are the BIG questions we have for Next week...ALL Speculations

Which main characters is going to die? Jack? Locke? Charlie? Kate? Sawyer?

Will Desmond be in time to save Charlie this time? No

Which Others will die? 7 include Mr friendly

Will we see the Monster? Or/and Jacob? Walt = Jacob?

Is Jack's shocking flashback that he is NOT a good guy? He killed his father? Or something else? What makes his FB Shocking? Flash forward?

I see Jack tells Kate he Loves her in the promo, Hmmm

How will it end? Will it end with a Major character Dying or will it end with a Plot twist?

[Caleb]

Excellent episode.

Hmm, I don't know, maybe those weren't future flashes? Ben seemed to be telling the truth (Charlie found this out and told it to Desmond) so who knows how they're going to be rescued (if at all?).

Maybe in the flash with Kate, it was actually Jack's wife (who also says "I have to go, he's gonna be wondering where I am", "he" could mean her husband).

When Jack says "We were not supposed to leave", he could have meant "leave each other", not leave the Island.

Maybe the reason they've shown Kate instead of his ex was to show his feelings toward her (similar to his wife)?

But of course, this is all speculation... I could be completely wrong.

[sundayx Veteran]

I think the question now is

Kate or Juliet? :p joking

[shockz]

Hurley's a hero!

[Caleb]

Also, Kate never trully loved Sawyer. She just felt that they have similarities, and she was sorry for him.

You can see that she really loves Jack... so why would the future show otherwise? If she had a choice, she'd stick to Jack anytime... right now if she does she'll be betraying Sawyer, so that's what's stopping her.

Interesting & Well-thought theory! You could be right!

BTW, which character do you think will have the Season 4 Premiere flashback/forward?

RIP Charlie!!! :(

Wow, not bad at all. :) I'll definitely be coming back next season.. but I don't know if I want to stay for another one. :(

Another great post by The Transmission:

?LOST? has spawned a million theories. A show grounded in simple, human drama, but swirling with so many mysterious and supernatural elements that you know anything can happen. And yet, I don?t think anyone could have imagined where tonight?s episode has taken us. We were promised a ?game changer,? and a game changer we?ve got. We know we?re only halfway through the grand arc of ?LOST,? yet we?re given a glimpse of what we thought was the natural endpoint of a ?stranded on a tropical island? story. Suddenly I?m willing to entertain even the most ridiculous, crack-pot theories. Because I have no idea where ?LOST? will take us next.

I admit, I?m a spoiler fiend. And even Jen, who valiantly went spoiler free the last few weeks, couldn?t resist. We read about the big twist, ?the snake in the mailbox,? last week. Tonight?s season finale, fortunately, was still powerful enough to leave us speechless. But we do somewhat regret depriving ourselves of the chance to have our minds totally blown. Lesson learned. At least for Jen.

Alas, Charlie?s reprieve last week was short-lived, and he dies? having passed on one of the biggest twists yet. His character?s journey was a roller coaster, with some seriously deep dips? but the writers did well by him in the waning weeks of this season. It?s tough enough to lose someone who has been aboard since the beginning, but he met an especially bittersweet end. No, it didn?t look like Charlie had to die. That burst porthole would have taken half an hour to flood The Looking Glass, more than enough time for him to stroll over to Desmond and help him into some SCUBA gear. So he chose to die. On the debate over ?free will versus destiny,? I guess he falls in the latter camp.

Hurley?s bus-powered rescue was spectacular. His moment of triumph was extra sweet, after he was cruelly rebuffed by his friends tonight (and last week as well). And when he called Jack with the news? That he saved everybody, including Sayid, Jin and Bernard? Probably one of the best rushes I?ve ever felt with ?LOST.?

Speaking of great moments, Alex and Rosseau?s reunion was something we?ve been waiting for since Alex surfaced in Season Two. It was as powerful as we?d hoped, and one that hopefully opens the door to some great character development in the seasons to come. I dare say never in the history of television have a mother and daughter been more perfectly cast than Mira Furlan and Tania Raymonde.

Wonder of wonders, Walt returned, ushered in by the mysterious whispers. He restores Locke?s hope at the very moment he?d lost it all. It was good to see David Malcolm Kelly again? but he?s definitely not a kid anymore. The odd angle and strange voice effect didn?t help. Still, he made sure Locke survived and remains a central character in the ?LOST? master plan. His return, in the midst of Ben?s collapsing authority, is a tantalizing tease for Season 4. And his line to Jack, resigned over his making contact with the ship, seemed to strike the deepest of any uttered on this show:

?You aren?t supposed to do this.?

And Penny?s brief conversation with Charlie proved that Naomi isn?t who she said she was (and proved that Ben wasn?t entirely lying). Ben?s desperate last pleas to Jack, that making contact would be the ?beginning of the end,? also seem to have been borne out, when we see Jack ? OFF THE ISLAND! ? broken and desperate and now yearning to return.

I? I don?t know what to say. Jen?

So they?ve been rescued.

My biggest fear is that the series would end MASH style: with tears and hugs and emotional dialogue about fear and destiny. I could see them all getting on the boat and riding off into the sunset, and it scared me.

It?s safe to say that that?s not going to happen now.

We?ve thought we were headed somewhere, but we were wrong. I admit, this season took forever to get started. I was wondering what the whole point of the six-episode ?pod? was, and while I think it might have been dragged out a little bit far, I can still see in retrospect where they were going. Ben and company might be the ?good guys? after all. The finale made me reexamine everything we?ve learned about allNotes & Notions:ecially The Others.

Season three of Lost, to me, is one of the best seasons of television ever.

Notes & Notions:

• Who died? Whose funeral had no visitors? Who?s neither family nor friend to Jack (and elicits a sneer from Kate)? Benjamin Linus seems a likely guess. Looks like this will become one of the key mysteries of the seasons to come. And I suspect the journey to the answer will be even more delicious than learning how Locke ended up in a wheelchair.
  
• JJack?s crack about his dad being drunk, and presumably alive, was very, very curious. Was he just so whacked out on drugs that he forgot Christian Shepherd was dead? Or is dad? not dead? (Jack also seemed rattled when the pharmacist said she?d call Christian to verify the prescription.) In fact, Jack?s sorry state seemed to be a continuation of the downward spiral we?d seen in his pre-crash flashbacks. Kate, meanwhile, seemed to have settled down with someone, and didn?t appear to be in prison or on tdidn?t not a ?time loop? fan at all? but these are pretty juicy morsels for someone to suggest that some of the things we?ve seen happen now didn?thappen.
  
• The code to disable the jamming signal was ?programmed by a musician.? Was that a big clue, or just another way to cement in Charlie?s mind that it was his destiny to do what he did?
  
• Some fantastic lines. Rose threatens, ?If you say, ?Live together, die alone? again, Jack, I?ll punch you in the face.? And Juliet?s quip about building runways for aliens was priceless.
  
• What is the deal with Mikhail? (Cyclops!) He just won?t die. At this point, I?m fairly sure we?ll see him again in Season 4.
  

...read on

I must admit, I've never been a Charlie fan and when :(heard that Charlie was going to die I was up in arms, but the writers gave him such a heroic ending that I actually feel kind of sad that he died. I especially feel sad for Claire :( The reunion between Alex and Rosseau was awesome though. One of the most touching moments in TV history right there.

"Alex... this is your mother." -Ben

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but that Nirvana song that future Jack was listening to in the car is called Scentless Apprentice. It is known for the lyrics being based on a book called "Das Parfum" by a German writer named Patrick Suskind. In the book, a child possess an extraordionary scense of smell, but has no human scent of his own. Eventually, he becomes a perfumer's apprentice and creates hundreds of new scents. He is taught by a man named Baldini.

Probably just useless information, but I know how books are sometimes snuck into episodes. On that end, I got nothing. Anybody else think it relates to anything?

Yeah when I heard that song being played, first thing I thought was the book it was based on. The music itself is incredibly heavy and chaotic, which fit Jack's depression very well. I wonder if the lyrics fit in anywhere...

[Mr.ed]

I think the question now is

Kate or Juliet? :p joking

I know for sure the answer is

Both!! :woot: :woot:

So, concerning last night's apparent 'flash forward', here's my hypothesis.

The first three seasons had two sections. Present time on the island, and flash backs leading up to the plane crash (although the chronology wasn't exactly linear). My guess is that the next three seasons will also have two sections. Present time on the island and flash forwards trailing back to their rescue. And if Jack's mention of 'going back' is to be followed through on, we could even see them get off the island, only to have some of them go back (for whatever purpose).

The only major problem in this is that we will get a very good idea of who dies and who lives, as anyone who dies can't have a flash forward, and up until now the tension of the show has hinged on the fact that anyone could die at any time. Hell, we all thought Sayid, Jin and Bernard were done for, and that moment wouldn't have held any weight at all if we didn't think the producers would actually do it.

All I know for certain is that there doesn't seem to be much story left to tell via flash back.

I think those flash-forwards are not to be taken to seriously. I think they are suggestions of what could happen, not what will happen. What happens in the present can change the future and obviously who does or does not die. I'm not going to take them at face value--at least not yet anyway.

So who agrees that Walt is the smoke monster, who is probably either Jacob himself or at least controlled by Jacob?

[levijay]

All I can say is...

nothing.. im speechless, bring on season 4 :(

[Rappy Veteran]

Mikail will be back...you can't put a great man down :D

I think maybe it was Ben in the coffin...dunno just a thought.

[OfF3nSiV3]

hum..i expected more..i was expecting the game changer would be armed teams coming in helicopters or something..not some crazy flashback/forward

I think it is John Locke...

The first sentence of the article Jack carries around in the flash-forward seems to read, "The body of Jo.. [unreadable] ..antham of New York was.. [unreadable] ..[shor]tly after 4 a.m. in the.. [unreadable] of Grand Avenue. Ted.. [unreadable] ..man at The Tower.. [unreadable] ..loud noises.. [unreadable].. loft. Co.. [unreadable] ..entered the.. [unreadable] ..a beam in the.. [unreadable] ..[ac]cordin[g].. [unreadable].."

-Possible reference to the just-announced Grand Avenue Project, which would place the flash-forwards several years from now, possibly past the 2010 end-date of the show.

:blink: That wouldn't fit with Lost at all. The game changer still has to fit within the Lost world that the writers have created. They aren't going to start pulling stunts like that, they'd seriously loose a lot of viewership then I'd expect.

Yeah maybe...I wonder if thats what will happen....I mean now people are coming to the Island and for the first time I side with Ben that Island should remain secret...I actually lol'd last night at Rose...first time ever..."You are a dentist and not rambo" :laugh:

[pmac1328]

Charlie frustrates me to no end.

1st, he smacks Desmond over the head with an oar when all he had to say was "No thanks, mate! I got this one!"

Now he seals himself in the jamming equipment room with a mild water leak that would've taken easily HOURS to fill up the entire pool room. Why not just step out of the room and shut the door? MORON!

Granted, i understand why he did it... vision and all... he has to die so Claire can be saved... but it's more like he chose to die as opposed to the vision actually coming true. He obviously didnt HAVE to die. Makes you wonder had he gone on this mission w/o the knowledge of his death... would it have turned out the same way?

[remix17]

So who agrees that Walt is the smoke monster, who is probably either Jacob himself or at least controlled by Jacob?

I do. I totally agree that smoke monster is linked to Jacob somehow and causes those illusions by absorbing people's memories. That may be a stretch, but that's all I can think of.

[episode]

I think it is John Locke...

Locke isn't from New York as the article seems to say the person is. And the article seems to say the person's name ends in -antham.

Yeah maybe...I wonder if thats what will happen....I mean now people are coming to the Island and for the first time I side with Ben that Island should remain secret...I actually lol'd last night at Rose...first time ever..."You are a dentist and not rambo" :laugh:

I don't think its about keeping the island secret more than he doesn't want someone coming and taking control of the island from him.

Hours? It would have taken a number of seconds. Once the water started coming in and the pressure keeping the moon pool down equalized, the room would flood, probably with explosive decompression due to the air having nowhere to go.

[Rappy Veteran]

Still can't believe Tom died :(

He was a great other...an other I wanted to see the flashbacks from :(

Wait... Sarah appearing as Kate? HUH?? That wouldn't make any sense whatsoever.

When Jack says "We were not supposed to leave", he could have meant "leave each other", not leave the Island.

Maybe the reason they've shown Kate instead of his ex was to show his feelings toward her (similar to his wife)?

Um, did you hear what Jack said before that comment? He was talking about the island, and with that statement, it was about the island. I highly doubt Jack would be so distraught and hell-bent on drugs and alcohol over Kate not being with him.

But of course, this is all speculation... I could be completely wrong.

While you're entitled to your opinions and theories, and by no means am I demeaning you in the slightest bit, but I think you are completely wrong. It just does. not. make. sense. Not that LOST usually makes sense, at least not yet, but it's a drastically different than what you're speculating.

[Lingwo]

I can't believe they showed Walt for about 20 seconds and that was it, now we have to wait till Jan/Feb 08 to know what happens
