Maybe that's more proof that what had emerged from the fountain was not Jacobs brother in any sense other than Smokey using his image to manipulate Jacob. In that case his real brother only had a small part in the story so the writers considered him less significant of a character.

WHO's voice said "help me" in the Creepy Jacob's Cabin?

Locke's?

Some fans are a little blunter with their thoughts. On Jensen's Totally 'Lost' blog, one poster fired off the “Simpsons”-inspired insult, "Worst. Episode. Ever." Then six comments later, another poster retorted with, "Best. Episode. Ever."

:D

Also,?Isabella is a smokie (I presume thats how she ravaged the settlement and filled up the wells). But, she was killed quite easily. So, whats the secret to killing a smokie?

Uh, that wasn't Isabella.

'Mother' never was given a name.

Claudia is Jacob and MiB's birth mother.

Isabella is Richard's wife.

I think the story got too big and convoluted for DL and CC to dig their way out of they introduced so many things in series 2 and 3 not knowing how long the show was going to run for theres no way they can possibly answer everything, what i dont agree with is their attitude on what they think that we should want to know, it should be the other way round, we should be able to tell them what we want to see and understand. I hate people with big egos.

Agreed with everything in the bold. Honestly, my opinion of the situation is they just needed to keep with the 23-25 episodes per season. Season 4 got ****ed by the writer's strike, but they could have still extended it. When the finale was first announced, I was disappointed in the fact that they weren't "comptlete" seasons in comparison to the first three. This alone would have given us enough episodes to flesh out things we want, but instead they wanted less episodes.

So be honest, from multiple people's point of view, is the show worth starting to watch now? I've never seen an episode but I like JJ Abrams' work and I'm curious about Lost. I have done this in the past...waited till a show ran it's course and then went back to watch it from beginning to end in my free time.

You wait till there are 3 episodes left to ask if its worth it?

Yes its worth it

Absolutely. The pain has and always will be (until it ends) waiting for the next episode/season and speculating with people what is going to happen. Wait another week and a half and enjoy the full ride non-stop. If you have questions, just wait until the end and then hit up http://www.lostpedia.com

Think a family member has the Seasons on DVD so putting them in the ole' PS3 would upconvert them, no? If not, I'm sure they'll still look decent. Otherwise, it is off to "other" sources shiftyninja.gif

I'd go with the other sources myself, but I plan on buying the whole series on Blu-Ray once it's all said and done. If it's Widescreen DVD, give a few episodes a whirl and then decide.

You can stream Lost from Hulu, or from ABCs website for HD. Thats how I caught up on the first 3 seasons when I started watching Lost.

I just finished listening to Jorge Garcia's Podcast (Geronimo Jack's Beard) on Across the Sea and he revealed a few things

- we're never going to find out the origin of the island is

- we're never going to find out what the light is

- we're never going to find out how the donkey wheel works (aside from channeling the water and the light)

- the reason the mother killed the real mother and stole her kids is the same reason the others stole children...to keep them pure (and her destroying the village mirrors the purge)

I'm going to take these with a grain of salt because he always sounds like he's half joking but I wouldn't be disappointed if they're true

He also kind of gave away what the entire show is about which is kind of interesting and makes a lot of sense looking back at the show

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
