You didn't really expect a major character like Desmond would die in such a small, quick way did you? Even the established depth and existence of water should have supported the notion prior to seeing the previews. Hurt? Yes. Dead? Nah.

Well, they led us to believe that Ilana was a major (or at least an *important*) character, but she ended up doing, well...not much. Killing off Island Desmond may have been interesting if only to see if Widmore had a Plan B (assuming Desmond is a big part of Plan A).

About the well: not sure why they chose to do what they did with the scene setup and sound. With pretty much every Lost article written about the remaining episodes bracing the reader for some major heartbreaks, killing off Desmond would have fit the bill - if only for a week.

As important as Desmond is, to have his life so quickly and suddenly end with the falling in the well is the kind of thing this show doesn't typically do; it's cheap and a cop-out. Desmond has been a somewhat of a crux and he's been setup as the key to stopping the man in black. Establishing the importance of this and then go on to believe for more than a few minutes, if not seconds, that he really could be dead and that's it for him (at least in that timeline) is... well, I can't think of a better word than silly.

Major Plot Spoiler Just messing with Jedi... I guess it could be kind of funny if we can keep it going....at least it will pass the time in between the episodes

Removed the spoiler tag so that "Jedi" can see what you said. If you want to play these silly games, please go elsewhere. In this thread, we discuss Lost Season 6.

NEED TO RESIST reading plot spoilers.

Guys, I said this thousands times now, for the common courtesy of everyone, please tell those that don't mind (like MYSELF) guess/hint spoilers what level of spoiler it is.

Some of these plot/direct spoilers I def. DO NOT WANT to know, but am fine with guesses/hints!

Well guesses/theories aren't classed as spoilers. Hints I'm not too sure, but the promo's should be enough of a "hint". From here on out I'm not reading any spoiler tags, even if they are ones made specifically for Jedi :p (ok they're the last ones I'm reading..)

Yeah, but this show does occasionally pull "a silly". In fact, they did in this same episode - I thought Ilana was going to blow herself up just by the force she was jamming the water bottles into the sack with, with the *unstable dynamite*.

I agree that they've built the Desmond character as having a purpose. But what keeps coming back to me is that Carlton and Damon (and J.J., I guess) have said that they've known how the series would end since the beginning of the series. To me, that means all that they needed to do was to introduce Jacob and MIB when the series's end was in sight and play their story out. Remember, they even intended to kill off Jack in the pilot episode, but ABC vetoed it (IIRC) - so, I'm not convinced that any individual (human) character is important to the end game, just as long as that there are two opposing sides for the finale's start.

Guys, heard of any Internet Red carpet premiere / Web Cast Chat event for Series Finale? There should be one this Finale event ought to be really huge.

Maybe on Lost Facebook page it will have something...

Also, seen any really good Best of Lost Compilations videos including this season?

Alright straight up:

If you're responding to a FREAKIN SPOILER respond in a SPOILER TAG!

This thread has been great this season and other seasons the same but this is getting crazy. I love reading what everyone thinks and even chime in once in a while. But if I see another spoiler not tagged I'm out, just a like a few others.

There's only what 5-6 weeks left, let those of us who want to be surprised have the chance.

Thanks

+111111!

I tried to avoid them but I think I've seen like 3-4 major spoilers out in the open already.

Everyone dies except maybe a couple of people

One episode has none of the main cast in it

The episode is based on young brothers Jacob and MiB on the island

The mother is someone we have yet to see

The real reason behind European airspace closure!

Adding a [spoilers] means nothing. The thread has been okay for a while, but people don't want to actually take the time to not spoil it for other people. I'll actively try to avoid the spoilers, but if you can't show the community respect, then why even post?

We're all huge fans. Just because you have no patience doesn't entitle you to spoil it for me.

By golly!

Let her be the first dead candidate!!

I don't really care either tbh just noticed it and thought heh that could go in the lost thread and in it went :p

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
