I figured I would start a thread for this and see what happens....there seemed to be quite a few viewers on the board for this show the past few weeks.....I like the direction the show is taking so far......episode 3 tonight at 7 central on ABC....

I'm basing the Sawyer pick as the 4th one because Freckles told Jack that she had to get back because "he" was waiting for her. "He" could be anyone but thats my pick for who "he" is. Sawyer.

The coffin seemed way too small for it to be Locke

im so lost in regards to that shows plot it makes my head hurt

**Bearcat** · 02-01-2008, 01:07 PM

I'll probably watch it online over the weekend... I swear the Apprentice and Lost were synched to the second for commercials. I saw the very beginning with the car chase, and thought it was interesting that they continued with the flash-forwards. I wonder how far they'll go with it... if they'll rerun the flash-forwards as an episode or if the ending will meet somewhere in the middle. Guess I should watch last night's episode first.

Nah. It's what's left of Locke after the Smoke Monster ripped his legs off and beat him to death with them.

Too convenient, that is what they want you to think, therefore there is no way that is the correct explanation

Depends on the strike. If it ends tomorrow, I bet they go into rush shooting.

Completely agree!! I think she's referring to the "HE" that has often been referred to, as in The Man! Is it Jacob? Hanso? Also had a friend who suggested perhaps "He" is her son, she's been rumored to also be pregnant from Sawyer.

Anyway, I don't think Sawyer is one of the six. I'm guessing Locke is in the casket, and maybe Sun/Jin are the other 2 of the six. Just a wild guess to get the other preggers female off the island for awhile, with enough time to have the baby safely.

In Jacob's house sat Jack's dad. (Christian)

Interesting episode... yeah, it looks like those who return will all go crazy. Hurly also said 'it wants us to go back' (or something like that), so I'm sure 'it' will start going after each person that got off the island.

Between Desmond's deja vu ("you're going to die, Charlie") and Hurley's friend that originally gave him the lotto numbers, it definitely seems like a cycle. Everyone who returns goes crazy because 'it' wants them back on the island, leading to a sequence of events that ends in another plane crash/ship wreck/whatever.

Having watched the entire episode, I like the fast-forwarding, but as long as it's not dragged out to the point where we're trying to piece together the past, present, and future all at the same time.

Yeah, I thought that was him. Very interesting, considering he's spoken of in the present tense during last seasons flash-forward.

irishjayhawk · 02-02-2008, 12:11 AM

I'm pretty sure the first three seasons were flash backs and now we're doing reverse flash forwards.

Too bad too. I had that concept for a film idea I had.

KCTitus · 02-02-2008, 01:30 PM

Im not sure what to think about the show...the flash forward to end last season really sucked me in, but now it seems the 'games' will go on between the writers and the audience.

Now instead of flash backs, we're getting flash 'forwards' to the future all the while -- piecing the story of how they got off the island with hints in the flash forwards while not advance the actual story of the time on the island.

Is it necessary to be this confusing about the story line? Is the story that weak that the writers must play these riddles on the audience to keep them interested?

I guess so...

So many abandoned plot lines it's not funny. I certainly hope that the series finale answers all of those questions -- it would probably be about a 4 hour episode.

I still insist that the title 'lost' refers to the audience...and the joke is on the audience, because the stuff the writers keep throwing in the show just further confuses the audience.

Stryker · 02-02-2008, 07:08 PM

I think the Oceanic 6 are:

Kate, Jack, Sun, Jin, Hurley and Juliette

I think the person in the coffin is Juliette. I do not believe the SIZE of the coffin thing. Looked pretty normal to me. This is the only logical reason why Jack is so distraught. Of course Kate would not have gone to the wake - she did not like her.

I do think that Kate's "HE" is her son. Kate has become normal again for some reason while Hurley and Jack have different outcomes upon "returning".

Locke is not going to leave the island unless FORCED to leave the island.

I also believe the people on the freighter are the Dharma group wanting to come back and reclaim the island - this will lead to a compromise between the remaining "Losties" and the "others" to fend off the Dharma group.

When Jack visited Hurley while playing basket ball, Jack asked him if he said anything - that being that there are STILL survivors on the island. I do not believe that the "six" let anyone know that other survivors exist.
