Rumor has it that the writers have this show planned out for 5 more seasons.

That is just marketing... if you looked at the ad, it said sponsored by Monster.com

A couple weeks ago, it was SubLYMONal.com which is sprite... and last weeks was a Jeep Ad, i believe.

Viral marketing at its finest. im sure we will be seeing more tv commerical tie-ins so that people watch more commercials instead of Tivoing them away.

I think Widmore labs is/was involved with Dharma/Hanso/the island at some point. Penelope would be able to at least access some sort of info about the island through her father and other connections with the company. Maybe her father planned out Desmond's trip, and she learned some details through him.

The themes have been laid out.

There are "good guys" and "bad guys" not based on their character but their actions.

All these characters have had choices, pinacles in their life, and based on these choices they are either worthy or not worthy of being taken by the others. The good have had opportunities to go wrong (or stay on the path) and the wrong have had opportunities to do good.

The idea of the inherent nature of man to be greedy and selfish and only dedicated to his own motives also plays into the idea of the button. To continue to push it requires the sacrifice of self (and perhaps sanity) to preserve the whole, while the motives to let the clock tick down are always selfish. Also, the idea of global warming/man-has-torched-the-ecosystem-and-now-it's-our-responsibility-to-right-it line of thinking.

Again, it's still a story about redemption, the reprocussions of our actions, and the moral journey of man.

The setting hasn't been solved because it's irrelevant. The idea is that everyone is less than the suggested 7 degrees of separation from everyone else. We're all connected. All of our decisions and actions count. Everything we do effects others in ways we don't realize at the time.

Our actions determine outcomes we can't imagine.

And even if Kate chugs days-old urine in a bottle she's still hot'ern teabagging a can of jalapenos...

I believe Widmore is in-cahoots with the Hanso Foundation. I believe there was an agreement that the Widmore Construction Company (seen in the backround when Driveshaft was taping a video) would "construct" the island for the Hanso Foundation and in return would receive revenues, fortune cookies, etc....I don't know. I believe we will not see much of Kate, Jack, nor Sawyer during the third season (much like Walt this season). The two men at the end were speaking Portugese, not Russian. That bird that flew out of the tree was saying "Hurley"....I turned my hearing impared captions on, and that's what it read. From what I've heard, the show creators are airing "Hanso Commercials" in 20 different countries and that fans will have to combine their various "findings" to figure things out. I know this paragraph is a mass of jumbled thoughts, but after watching that tonight.....I am indeed LOST.

I loved it except for the very end.

And I swear I heard a deep, menacing voice say "Jin" when Jack was confronting Michael in the woods after they killed the Other.

I didn't catch that. I will have to rewind to that point and listen for it.

Just to clue ya'll in, this is the favorite joke of the writers of "Lost":

Question: How do you keep the viewers' attention?

Response: I don't know -- How?

(Repeat question and response ad infinitum)

I had high hopes for this finale, but it paled in comparison to the 1 hour finale last year. Many questions were answered and they finally got into the hatch last year.

So what did we learn in 2 long hours separated by commercials every 10 minutes?

1. The button is apparently real and not real because you can 'shut it off'
2. The 'viewing' station isnt real
3. The Others do not live on the island

Desmond met and got a boat from Hurleys GF--I dont remember her name--to race around the world and her 'role' which was supposed to be explained in Desmond's 1.5 hour flashback wasnt. I guess the authors decided that explaing how she got from giving up the boat to mental institution was a waste of time (pause to snicker at the irony).

Advancing the plot line in the season finale didnt seem altogether important to the writers. I dont find either of the new story lines even remotely interesting. Ohhhh...Jack, Kate and Sawyer are going to the 'others' home and Hurley gets to stumble his butt back to camp to tell everyone else to 'stay away'. What of Sayed--we'll probably learn his fate come May 2007.

A couple of things occurred to me during one of the incessant commercials...why since the 'ghost/smoke' was revealed hasnt it been seen from since, but at the same time we got a new 'creature' in the hawk/eagle?

Now that the 'button' has been shutdown, what else is there to do for Locke and Eko? Build the church? That should make for riveting 3rd season.

I didn't realize anything happened with Sayid. I thought I saw a shot of he and Jin/Sun on the boat towards the end.

If they're even alive.

There's a blurb on scifi.com's wire this morning, and apparently the themes for next year are....(drum roll)....learning about the Others...and.... .... romance.

Yay.

Anyway, while I enjoyed the episode, I have a problem grasping the whole Desmond storyline, or, rather, the timeline. The stuff in the stadium took place 3 years before the events on the island?
