Haven't seen it, but my mom and brother have. Can somebody highlight the story? It's interesting, but I've never gotten into it. I watched up to the episode where it's all "DUN DUN DUN" on the bunker thing, with the numbers on it.

The last 10 minutes were freaking insane. It literally just blew everything apart.

And Hurley was bloody awesome.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

omgomgomgomgomg..

It was amaaaaazing.

I'm going to write an angry letter to ABC demanding that they skip the traditional summer break and get right back to pumping out new episodes.

And the smoke things!?!

Great way to end the season! Last ten minutes = !!!
BTW, watching one of the overview episodes, I realized that Ethan Rom is an anagram for "Other man".

I was really worried that the Lost finale would just toss everything off as being "oh it's all God", like the X-Files finale. Instead it seemed to toss it all off as "oh... it's uh.. fate.. or destiny.. or.. uh.. hope", which isn't any more satisfying but does offer hope that a proper explanation will commence next season.

But considering all the crazy crap that's been happening to them, even before they were on the island, I can't imagine any sort of explanation other than some flimsy 'God' thing. Yeah, going all out with mysterious stuff is great and entices and amazes audiences, but a mysterious event needs a clever plotline to explain it. Lost has provided loads of mysteries, loads more things to ponder over than any other series or movie, but I fear it's too mysterious and no plot could be clever enough to explain everything and still be rational. That's a whole load of clever. That degree of clever.. I mean, that just doesn't exist. The Universe doesn't have enough clever to explain Lost.

Other than that, Lost has been an awesome character drama, it has a whole bucketload of fascinating characters all well acted. Locke was my total favourite throughout the first half of the season, but I've been loving Hurley ever since the Numbers episode.

There's still two things that I don't get, perhaps I missed this or wasn't paying attention:
1 - The watch that Korean dude has, what is it? He's shipping it for that mafia dude, but why? Smuggling diamonds or something?
2 - Why was Locke in a wheelchair? I don't remember any explanation for that.. The big 'episode Locke' with his father and everything ended with him in the car crying, after the surgery.. but he still had full use of his legs. The next time we see him is in Australia, yelling at the safari walk dude.

I'd just assumed that after the kidney transplant, something went wrong and he lost the function of his legs. The real question, is how he regained the use of his legs.

Spiffy things I noticed, when Michael was talking on the phone to his mom, locke got wheeled by, and when they were all getting on the plane in the beginning, Hurley was reading the spanish comic book (He's hispanic), which further pushes the "Hurley is awesome but bad luck" thing.

I reaaaaaaaaaaaly want to know what the pirates wanted Walt for, if Michael and Sawyer lived, and WHAT THE HELL IS DOWN THE HATCH.

I was really satisfied with this episode, it killed off my five least favorite characthers (Artz sucked, hard), and Hurley freaking ruled.

Hee, Artz blowing up was so awesome. That totally made the finale.

Sigh.. fish.

They weren't pirates. They were "The Others," it was pretty obvious. Danielle was talking about how they wanted the boy (I hunched at this point it was Walt, not Aaron.), and then a bunch of strange men arrive and take Walt (a boy). I'm almost sure that they were Others.

They didn't explain why he lost his legs. Although if it had been due to the transplant, it would have been immediate (or at least there would have been problems.) It's quite unlikely that a problem would develop afterwards that would be that severe. I think that he gets into a car accident; the last scene of him in the flashback was him crying in his car, and then he looks up and out the windshield, I think he drives away superfast and tries to kill himself, but fails. This would also explain why he was depressy (sort of) when he was in the chair. He tried to kill himself, and only ended up making his life worse.

I was quite surprised by the Artz explosion.. I was just.. awestruck. "Hoooooly crap. he just.. blew.. up...."

And I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but the ladder down the hatch? There are only a few rungs, the rest look broken off, and for a long, long, long way down.

oooh.. I hadn't though they'd be others happy... good point


The hatch is a hatch going up, it's meant for people to leave the ground to escape (or gain entry to) the island from below, where the thing that sucked down locke was.

Man that was nuts. I think happydud is right on with "the others". What ever it was that had Locke sounding really mechanical. I'm think this is some twisted island for someone's sick pleaseure or something.

Pretty sure whatever had Locke was mechanical. It was to constant a speed, and I'm pretty sure he stepped in a ropetrap or something like Sayid did earlier. It seemed like a winch that was pulling him back.

When he was half in the hole and half out, whatever was pulling him was pulling with the same force, it wasn't jerking on him like a creature would.
