Sawyer figured out how to work the food dispenser in his cage and it dispensed fish biscuits. That sounds like polar bear food to me.

[The Owl]

There's supposed to be an epilogue type of thing on the DVD for season 6...... we still might get some answers........

 

 

While I loved the finale and the series as a whole there are a few things that annoyed me that were left unanswered.

 

 

LOST UNANSWERED QUESTIONS (no particular order)

 

1. The DHARMA pallet drop

 

- In season 2 in the episodes "Lockdown" and "Dave" a pallet drop full of DHARMA initiative food was delivered to the island....... 13 years after the others had eliminated the DI in the "Purge".....why and who made the pallet drop, especially when the Dharma Initiative were all dead.....

 

- My Theory: I think this one is pretty easy to explain..... we know there is a time difference when things come to the island...... in "The Constant" when Sayid and Desmond fly to the freighter on the chopper...they go from dusk to dawn...... there is a weird thing that happens there, we know they have to follow a specific compass bearing to do this........ what if the Dharma messed up with one of their deliveries....... say the Dharma sent that pallet drop from the mainland while the Dharma Initiative was still on the island, but did not follow the right compass bearing......... and that pallet drop arrived.......VERY VERY late........say when our losties where on the island....

 

2. Walt

 

- Walt had to be dropped from the story due to the growth spurt his actor had during season 2......and the mysteries surrounding him, like his powers appearing where he was not supposed to be, the room 23 thing, and whatever the others got from him........all left unanswered

- I cannot theorize on this, but supposedly Malcom David Kelly (Walt) did film some scenes this season that did not make it to air, and is supposedly going to be featured on the DVD for s6....so we might get these answers

 

3. The Outrigger shootout

 

- In season 5 "The Little Prince" when Juliet, Locke, Sawyer, Miles, and Charlotte are traveling through the time flashes, on their way back to the Orchid station they steal some outrigger boats and start sailing to fix the time skips.......along the way they are being shot at by another outrigger full of mysterious people before time flashing again....... I assumed we would see the other side of that fire fight this season... and we knew it was after the Ajira flight had crashed (The time traveling losties found the Ajira water bottles), but we never did...

 

- My Theory: It was something that happened off screen........ I think when Ilana, Bram, several redshirts, and an unconsious Frank were going to the main island in the season 5 finale they encountered the time traveling losties and started shooting...... Juliet did shoot someone when we saw the scene earlier in the season......probably one of the redshirts.

Has anyone check out that new show Persons Unknown? It looks like a ripoff of Lost; I've been hearing good reviews on this show and was wondering if it is worth checking out...

Kind of a LOST feel, seems more like a ripoff of the Saw films than anything else.

Anyone watching any other cliff-hang fueled series at the moment? I'm refusing to watch V, I've heard nothing good about it and it looks lame as well..

 

 

But yes, I would appreciate a recommendation

QUOTE (The Owl @ May 30 2010, 11:06 PM)

Alot of people are pissed off because the lack of answers the finale and the rest of season 6 gave........... and to me to watch a show for the answers is a way of cheating a VERY good story..... Most shows do not have the character development that Lost has... Hell it's hard to find a serialized drama at all......... or a drama that is not a cop, or medical drama... I seriously reccomend LOST to anyone........ it is the best character study of the past 20 years....... the back drop just happens to be this weird ass island with it's mysteries........ but the show is not about the mysteries....it's about the characters and the relationships they have with each other....... MMFM.......... I seriously reccomend going back to season 1 and watching the show.....

BTW Owl I meant to thank you for this post. It's thoughtful and insightful.

[Shreddy Lee]

When I joined I was very glad to see this forum had at least one thread about Lost, to say I'm a huge fan of the show is an understatement.

For what it's worth, I was also very interested in having the outrigger shootout resolved, but the writers have spoken on that issue:

 

QUOTE

Okay, finally, I have to ask, simply because it's been driving me nuts for a year and a half: what's going on with showing the other half of the outrigger shootout? CC: The outrigger shootout is not something we're bending around in gyrations so we can solve it. In the grand scheme of the show, that is a fairly obscure piece of the show. It is your particular obsession... DL: ...and you're not alone in it. CC: You're not alone in it. And yes, it would have been great if we had had the opportunity to close the time loop. But you can't get everything done and keeping the narrative going in a straight line. This is one of those things where we made a very conscious choice to ask, "What are the big questions? And most importantly, what are the paths of these characters? Where do they lead?" And we followed those paths and tried not to trip ourselves up getting too diverted from that. We felt that that's the thing that's ultimately going to make the finale work or not work. We got to the point where we made the finale we wanted to make, that was our approach, and I think it was the only approach we could take. We sat here in my office, had breakfast every day for six years, talked about the show, and we used this gut check methodology, where if we both loved something and thought it was cool, that would go in. We applied that same methodology to the finale, and that was the only way we could do it. We came up with a finale that we thought was cool, that was emotional and one we really liked. That's the best we could do. DL: When we wrote that scene and somebody started shooting at them, we knew exactly who was shooting at them. That is not a dangling thread that we don't know the answer to. That being said, as we started talking about paying that off this season, it felt like the episode was at the service of closing the time loop, as opposed to what the characters might actually be doing in that scenario. It never felt organic. We decided we would rather take our lumps from the people who couldn't scratch that itch than to produce an episode that was in service of putting people in an outrigger and getting shot at. You put people in a lot of outriggers this season. It feels, frankly, like you're taunting me. DL: We can't entirely deny that we're taunting you. CC: Honestly, though, the logistics of getting all the participants in the outriggers in the configuration that was on the A-side of the time loop was actually really daunting. DL: Considering half of them had been killed off CC: It's not like we didn't want to do it. Like Damon says, it was just too much of a narrative deviation to do it.

The good news, though, is that they have said that the other two issues you brought up, Walt and the food drops, among others, will be explored on the DVDs bonus footage.

The Outrigger shootout - In season 5 "The Little Prince" when Juliet, Locke, Sawyer, Miles, and Charlotte are traveling through the time flashes, on their way back to the Orchid station they steal some outrigger boats and start sailing to fix the time skips.......along the way they are being shot at by another outrigger full of mysterious people before time flashing again....... I assumed we would see the other side of that fire fight this season... and we knew it was after the Ajira flight had crashed (The time traveling losties found the Ajira water bottles), but we never did... - My Theory: It was something that happened off screen........ I think when Ilana, Bram, several redshirts, and an unconsious Frank were going to the main island in the season 5 finale they encountered the time traveling losties and started shooting...... Juliet did shoot someone when we saw the scene earlier in the season......probably one of the redshirts.

Anyone watching any other cliff-hang fueled series at the moment? I'm refusing to watch V, I've heard nothing good about it and it looks lame as well.. But yes, I would appreciate a recommendation

V ain't bad; it isn't great, either IMO. It slooowly grew on me.

 

Check out Persons Unknown for a "cliffhangerish" show. It's on NBC on Saturdays. I believe it's a 13-episode mini-series. It tries to ride the Lost vibe to a degree.

12 theories about "Lost" that were better than the actual show

Picked up the season 6 Blu-Ray today!

 

 

And just a heads up to those still yet to buy....... apparently there was a pretty bad f**k up with Best Buy and the "exclusive bonus disc" that comes with the Blu-Ray and DVD if you buy it from there...

 

The bonus disc is supposed to contain 4 small featuretts that are printed on the sleeve that it comes in, but for some reason if you get the Blu-Ray (I don't think the DVD version has this delightful mistake) version the best buy bonus disc, instead of coming with the features advertised, it comes with MOST of the features that come with the exclusive disc from the Complete collection............ Which is much better than what is advertised on the Sleeve best buy put on! The extra disc is not a blu-ray disc but a standard DVD, but for the extra features you're getting, who cares.

 

It won't be long before this mistake is corrected, so get your season blu-rays quickly, and from Best Buy.

Looking back, what were the best seasons?

 

I'd say that seasons 2 and 3 were terrible due to their sluggish pace, and I didn't like six simply because it all lead up to an unsatisfying, confusing ending..

 

Seasons 1 and 5 all the way.
