I want ANSWERS. WHAT is the Island? Who IS Jacob? Who IS his nemesis? Why have they been playing this game for 300 years? Why are there ancient statues and temples on this island? How did the magnetic properties of the island come into play? How does it go undetected?

Who are "Adam & Eve"?

Yep, this is going to ****ing piss me off if they head off an another tangent.

Have no fear, sir.

I believe there's more to that interview that wasn't posted. They go on to talk about there being some sort of pay-off to the alt timeline. I believe at some point they have to merge together again (hopefully, sooner rather than later) and you'll get your answers. You may not get every answer, and every answer may not satisfy you completely, but I'm confident you'll get them.

Of course... if we don't get them... I'm going to melt some faces.

I'm not liking the alternate timeline. They changed the backstories of the characters without telling the viewers. They commented that at comicon there was a video where Kate doesn't kill her step dad but someone else and that is why she is a fugitive in the ALT timeline. If the characters lives are so different in the ALT than what we've been shown the last 5 years, it's difficult to care one way or the other about them.

I'm not digging the alternate time line either. The Locke's body possessed by an evil god thing is really cool, but this new crap is just an annoying distraction, IMO. While it was nice to see Charlie and Boone back, that was about all that really interested me.

Seems like they're trying to shove 20 pounds of shit into a 10 pound bag.

I just remember all the big build up for shows like Seinfeld, Dallas, The Sopranos, and to a much lesser extent Rosanne, and they were some extremely disappointed fans.

If this ends like one of those, I'll be pissed for spending so many hours in front of the TV or computer.

I don't like it either. The ONLY thing I like about it is that all the characters still interact in a some way, so it'll be interesting to see how that develops.

Boone/Locke
Jack/Charlie
Kate/Claire
Jack/Locke
Hurley/Sawyer etc etc.

**Buck** · 02-04-2010, 09:55 AM

So I woke up right for the ending last night, and Sayid has some kind of weird accent when he wakes up and says "What happened?"

Chiefnj2 · 02-04-2010, 10:01 AM

How many times did we have to watch Juliet die? I felt like I was watching Groundhog Day.

I watched it again yesterday with my son and I noticed that as well. Even said to my son "That doesn't sound like Sayid."

yeah but to have some kind of new plot twist like this in the final season when major questions over the 6 years its been on are still not answered?

Don't worry, she's probably still alive in at least 10 of the other 20 timelines we haven't seen yet.

ooh she'll be back.. Gotta keep the love sqaure goin with jack juliet sawyer and kate

Red Brooklyn · 02-04-2010, 12:10 PM

I can't say how I feel about the alt timeline yet. I like the idea to a degree. I like seeing how they were "wrong." I like seeing the things that Jack didn't think about when he embarked on this mission. But it all depends on the pay-off. Where will it go? What will we learn? I won't know how I feel about it until we've seen the whole thing.

I am interested to see how they handle the "new" backstories. I wonder how much info we're going to get regarding their new histories.

A lot of people have commented on Sayid's voice.. I didn't notice... gotta go back and watch it again.

LOST is running a high risk of pissing off a lot of fans by the time it ends. I'm sure a lot of people will hate the ending. Just as long as it feels honest, like it's the only ending (or the best possible ending) the show could have. I'll be satisfied.

**Buck** · 02-04-2010, 12:16 PM

Cmon Frazzy (and Brooklyn), don't you trust the writers enough by this point to know they won't leave a bad taste in your mouth?

Most of the second second left a bad taste in my mouth.

I actually like the idea of an alternate reality where they never went to the island. What I'm worried about is that they'll reconcile the two realities in some trite way, with the push of a magic button.
