I think that Kate ended up in the tree safely because it grew up under her so to speak. The place she was standing in when the "blast" happened may not have had a tree but 30 years later it was all grown up.

I think the island is a prison for the smoke monster and Jacob was the guard.

Hey, what do you mean where did i take my opinion? 10 for sure could be arbitrary but I think when the show is all said and done, we will be able to watch it from end to start and it will make alot more sense. That why i feel like Aaron is Jacob and was technically the 1st born (going reverse order) and why having children on the isalnd hasnt worked out so well. I can totally see Jacob and Aaron as seperate people but there will be a weird time twisitng relation between the 2 I think. I dont even know if my post makes sense- Lost has be talking in circles alot of the time

I agree with you, when I watched the last episode, I started to believe that Jacob is Aaron, and he can control the time in the island, that´s is the reason he is a middle-age person, he has the key to end up with this story...

i was suprised when i saw the island under water... but i'll agree with "anime305" all the seconds of the episode were incredible!!!!!!! i can't wait to see the 3rd. p.s. i'm from greece...

hay i love this show it is sooo cool

For me, i loved each an ever one of them....

The theory stated above got me thinking about the importance of EVERYONE going back to the island to change the crash of 815. Maybe the people who didn't return to the island have the ability to change it once again -- and that loophole was known to whomever was rounding up the group.

Totally agree. Every time someone dies, anyone, random extras included, I always think "quick Miles! Talk to them!" But he never does :( I feel the same way about Aaron and Walt, in that such a big deal was made over the two of them, and NOTHING has been said about either in a looong time.

" I’ve never seen an airplane lavatory door that opened “in” before Oceanic 815. Sayid sure got lucky when he was doing his Charlie rescue" Actually I think they all do open to the inside. They are usually french doors that fan to the inside leaving no room for a person to stay inside.

The brilliance of the writers : I think most of us expected season 6 to go forward or backwards - so what did the writers do to fool us once again, keep us on our toes? They took us SIDEWAYS. OMG i Love this show - have been a member since the beginning but had to change my password so looks like im a newbie :)) Hats off to "brilliance"

I HATE this message box!!!! I keep accidentally typing in it when I am trying to respond to something on the message board. I wish this dumb poll question would GO AWAY

In the flashsideways we see Desmond on the plain, but why? Yes I know he can't forget to push the button down in the hatch because it's no more.. But wouldn't he still be on the island? I can't remember exactly how he came to the island in first place, but wasn't it because of some storm that he went through while sailing his boat? I don't see how the hatch implosion makes Desmond stay away from the island, unless it was the hatch that made him go there in the first place. Does anybody have an answer to this?

I think that the detonation of Jughead has not changed the future in regard of the plane's crash (if it had, Jake, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Hurley, Jin, Miles and Juliet should not have been transported back to the future because this future would no longer exist) but has initiated a new cycle of events that begins with the Jacob's reincarnation through Sayid that will allow Jacob to pursue his fight against his enemy with the help of the losties and finally lead to the restoration of the original timeline where the plane does not crash and cause the island to sink after all the lost souls (including the ones of Jacob and his enemy cursed by egyptian gods) captive on the island will be free and return home. Then, the alternative timeline will simply cease to exist to be replaced by the original one we saw. I think that Jacob and his enemy are much alike and both want to go home. But my guess is that the castaways, the Others, Jacob and his enemy will have to ally themselves instead of fighting to break the curse and win their freedom.

I think the scense from the airplane are what would have happened. And all of the passengers were going to eventually meet in their lives if the plane never crashed. Like sawyer helping Kate in the elevator with the airport police. And jack with the black and white couple, then seeing locke when he leaves the airport and then saving charlie. Then kate getting into the car with claire. All of there lives are going to cross. I do think that Jack has or will learn something in the later episodes. As for the island being underwater is beyond me. Maybe the bomb destroyed the possibility to ever go onto the island and everyone that ever went onto the island has an alternative life. That goes for ben, whitmore, the chinese scientest guy. As far as everyone being on the island. I think it put all the islanders back in the same timeline (the present) and they will eventually see eachother again. And locke is the anti jacob and trying to take over the island. Because when jacob talks to that grey haired guy about the people 1st coming to the island on the old looking sail boat. (christopher columbus looking boat). And the grey haired guy says he is going to kill jacob one day. and he used lockes body to somehow get back to life and get to the island. Im a new blogger so tell me if im totally "lost" in this season of lost. I think its a pretty good theory. Thats just what me and my dad think.

We're about to see it here in Australia. But here are my hopes...in my open letter to LOST writers. I remember Stephen King's IT. It was scary and awesome – in the full meaning of the term, it filled me with awe, but the ending, the ending was awful. Some powerful malevolence and a very intimidating clown afflicted an entire town, every 30 years, and it was all down to a SPIDER. Come on. It was a terrible let down and not just in terms of the unspecial 1990s effects. Similarly, the throw away line that revealed the oft referenced FORCE of Star Wars to be not some mystical insight into life, but a cellular thing – midichlorians sounding like metachlorians - but there was nothing meta about them. It debased the entire Jedi mythos and put it down to a fluke of biology. Why, why ruin the mystery? And if you must reveal the mystery, make it BIG and revelatory. In a different way, satisfaction has been denied after years of patience with the X Files, with fans no closer to the truth, which is still out there, more illusive than ever since their disappointing second film. But LAME answers aren’t enough either, viewers are over the exceedingly over-used JR Ewing plot device - the I dreamed it all/I was in a coma/I was high on drugs route of soap operas. We viewers demand writers work harder for us. We’re grown ups, you’ve made us feel and we want it to matter. Make us wonder, give us something profound and liberating, or dark and truthsome. So much of life happens and there is no meaning, so every now again, the story makers in TV land offer us some, and we latch on, which is why we crave something memorable for the final series and final episode. Viewers know everything must end, but in TV Land, we want it to make a mark, be a bang, not a whimper. And not in some half ridiculous way like Seinfeld. We need something to make us thankyou for making it, even as we mourn its passing. It’s because the stories television programs and films relate are like friends, they become familiar, offer us a kind of certainty (of a laugh, of a scare, of pleasure) and their ending should offer us something as well, because we are loyal, we have watched and waited (sometimes for years). We want finales that give closure – that see something end – like in MASH. There are some who know this, Joss Whedon, for one, is a master. In Buffy, the finale gave us epic battles, heroic deaths and what the main character had wanted her entire life, how cool was that? Similarly Russell T Davies in Torchwood, in its most recent incarnation, provided one grand five-part finale, with sacrifice, complex villains, death and destruction, and the tiniest hope of another season. The other option, valued Lost writers, is if you cannot give us a fitting ending, then don’t give us one at all. Monkey Magic didn’t, (well at least not in the 39 dubbed episodes available to the English speaking world back in the day – please look it up if you are not familiar with the program) and no one minded, because the journey to the Buddha is within and is never ended. Tripitaka kept going and the passengers of Lost can too, if you want, just make it be towards something we can care about, something glittery and shining on that island’s horizon, something we all could want. It’s all down to you and may the force be with you.

Just LOVE it. Brothers, just take it easy, and don't go on a treasure hunt about what will happen next! just let them suprise, i know that they aren't going to let us down, (they didnt make it in the last 5 season's, why now?) See you in another live, brother! Cumpz From Portugal [PS: Sorry 4 the bad english :x]

And why didn't Jacob fight back against Ben? Maybe he just turned the other cheek? :D

Has everybody forgot about the cabin, Claire and Jacks/Claires father on the island? And I still don't know who said: "Help me" to John Locke back in S4 or S5... Any thoughts to this?

if thats all were going to see of charlie im going to DIE!!!! make him rise from the dead on the island or somthing! or at least make him be a fugitive and not go to jail. maybe him and kate could partner up?

I am (once again) tantalized by the premiere of LOST and YES...I will be talking about LOST from Tuesday to Tuesday. What the heck is it with Desmond? There has to be more with him...Why did the flight attendant's accent change from inside the fuselage and in the temple area???? Sayid...that's a given...who is he? What is he? Is he...he? Who is the "ottoman empire" looking man? PLEASE tell me you are only teasing us with Daniel's death. The smoke monster sure put on a good show. Can Jacob use dead people, too?

anyone?

My favorite part was Jack giving Locke his business card and telling him that nothing was irreversible! I didn't see that coming (even though I think I should have) and it brought tears to my eyes! :)
