^ Absolutely hilarious! I would love to hear those characters do a commentary of the whole series.

That would be cool if they released 4 or 5 of these type of things a year.....comedically explaining away some of the ridiculous things they had us all hooked on. They totally just ripped on everyone for making such a big deal out of what the MIB's name was, and the time travel stuff.... Pretty funny.

So I'm re-watching the show for the first time AFTER seeing the finale... the show kind of takes on a whole other light now. Currently in the middle of season three...

Oh, nos, teh others!

Here is the most interesting theory I've read on the nature of the Island. There are a couple points that kinda stretch, but most of it makes sense.

interesting read.....definately a plausible theory, very well thought out and explained. It'll be neat to have that in the back of my mind when I decide to revisti the series and watch it over. Thanks for the article!

I was thinking the same thing! After reading that, it makes me like Lost even more!

Did you get the Matthew Fox Sears ads as part of the box-set, or was that the Super Special Jimmy Kimmel edition?

Of the mini episode or the box set?
Won't spoil the episode just yet

The box set is awesome and filled with easter eggs and physical hidden goodies. I won't spoil those for other who haven't found them yet.

Sarcophage, there's always Buffy and Angel again. Haha. And Firefly, but that won't keep you busy long. Doctor Who is fantastic. New, old, half-animated, whatever. Doctor 11 kicks the Tenth Doctor's butt, though. Might just be the writing, but who knows.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Another unfortunately named show. lol. I know several people who were turned off from ever watching Buffy because of the name. I get why Joss Whedon named it that, but... its unfortunate that a lot of people got the wrong idea and never watched it. (The movie didn't help, either. )

As for Doctor Who... I agree the last season was awesome and I do think a lot of it was the writing. I'm a HUGE David Tennant fan and I was so nervous about Matt Smith being so young. But he ended up really surprising me. I found myself one day thinking "ZOMG, do I actually like the 11th Doctor better than the 10th?! How can that be?" ... but I think that was due to Matt Smith being given (overall) a lot better writing to work with.

Sorry... now back to your previously scheduled Lost discussion.

Thanks KoA - I forgot about the new Dr. Who - maybe I'll check that out.

We also recently tried to get back into Veronica Mars and Wonderfalls (2 great shows back in the day), and both me and my wife kept getting really irritated with the whole high school thing and being all dark and cynical when you have so much.! Which of course is exactly how I was in high school :D

Prison Break (does drop off after the first season, but I still liked it a bunch)
Sopranos
Mad Men
Firefly (all 16 episodes are worth it; still have to watch the movie now to see the "resolve")

I'd put Hurley and Walt in the same category, sure. Ha. Naw, comparing Hurley and Miles shows what I'm thinking, I guess. Miles seems like the "realistic" version of talking to the dead, if you will. Hurley is the "cinematic" one or something. Miles's kinda makes sense, but Hurley's never really does. At least for me.

And again, with Desmond, I figured that came from the island. Just being zapped with it enough. But again, that's in keeping with what the island throws at people.

Anyways, just having some fun. This is the first time I've given Lost much of any thought since I saw that letdown of a finale. Kinda miss a lot of the early mystery, but that is just about how every show seems to go.

Re:"LOST" Season SIX/LAST season discussion (spoilers) (goncalo_viola)

... the same way Hurley could talk with the dead?

...... the same way Desmond resisted electromagnetism?

Just kidding! :P

The same way Miles could hear the dead.

I don't buy it. I always figured Miles could hear the dead because he was born and somewhat raised on an island that bends time. So people's last moments could kinda waft through time and he'd pick them up. At least it fits in with the presented mythology of the island. Spontaneous psychic manifestation or whatever you could call it does not appear in the slightest to be a corruption of time. So no, I don't see those two as being comparable, and thus my question still is my question.

Sarcophage, there's always Buffy and Angel again. Haha. And Firefly, but that won't keep you busy long. Doctor Who is fantastic. New, old, half-animated, whatever. Doctor 11 kicks the Tenth Doctor's butt, though. Might just be the writing, but who knows. And that leaves the best television series of all time, not a very serialized one, especially not at first, but brilliant and wholly entertaining in every way: The Justice League. Balls yeah.

The big plothole that still makes me laugh is the fact that in Season 5, there's the scene with "Christian" in the barracks with Sun and Frank. There's no problem with this, except that we later learn that this is obviously MIB.

At the same time as this, MIB was with Ben in another location.

Either you believe MIB wasn't Christian every time he showed up. OR, you take note that once Jacob died, MIB was stuck as Locke. Jacob was still alive at that point in the show.

+1 for Battlestar Galactica

The most unfortunately named serious drama in history, also one of the best.

SO now that the show is over... does anybody have recommendations for a follow up? I'm dying for another serialized show, and I'm coming up empty.

We've recently seen:
*snip*
(yes we've seen Buffy and Angel too. I'm over it)

Well, Buffy and Angel woulda been my first options. Battlestar Galatica is another good, serious long term show. I love Doctor Who and Warehouse 13, but IMHO they are a lot less serious than a show like Lost.

@Rane - Holy crap! That makes perfect sense. Nice. Thanks for sharing it.

@Skip - I was one of the people who thought the Island was purgatory back in season 1, but I don't feel cheated at all. The only thing that was in a purgatory / after life before moving on type of place was the "flash sideways" in the final season. The rest of the show wasn't.

I probably shouldn't, but I just know I'm going to break down and buy the big ol' box set when it comes out the end of this month. I've been holding off on buying any of the individual seasons for just this reason.

We've recently seen:
Carnivale
Lost
The Prisoner
Party Down (criminally overlooked, HILARIOUS show)
Weeds
True Blood
Mad Men
Breaking Bad (superior to Mad Men, IMO)
Being Human
Misfits
Curb
Dexter
West Wing
Torchwood
The Wire
Shield
Deadwood

that can't be ALL the good shows there ever were? but I cant' find much more that's halfway intelligent. As frustrating as the finale to Lost might have been, the show was very well done.

Well, because Walt has the ability to manifest his thoughts into reality.

But I thought we all got that part? I thought the question was WHY Walt could do that. Within the mythology of the show, how was that possible?

While living with mom and stepdad, he was reading a book and came across a picture of a bird. He tried showing it to stepdad, who wasn't paying attention. Walt yelled to him "Look at this" (or something like that), and at that moment the same kind of bird crashed into their window.
There was another time when he was with Locke, who was teaching how to throw a knife. Walt wasn't doing very well until Locke told him to visualize what he wanted to do in his mind. Walt next throw was perfect.

Those are the two that I recall.

You know, I feel like an idiot.

Just read a comment online about how they basically laid out for us what the polar bears were to be used for. They were being trained to turn the donkey wheel so that a person wouldn't have to do it, they could withstand the cold, and they were certainly strong enough.

Couple that idea with the fact that they found a polar bear's remains in the desert where Ben was transported once he turned the wheel and it seems quite obvious. How this was all overlooked is beyond me.

I shall join you in the den of idiocicy (<-----Is that a word? It should be)
That really is so simple to see and put together....and like you said the fact that not one of us ever mentioned that 'theory' is even crazier being that we all collectively had some doozie's...
I know I was adamant that the island was Atlantis for a few years........WRONG!!!
