"Lost"

**Risteard** · 28/05/2007, 10:42 AM

I was watching the beach last night and the girlfs buddy walked in and she was reading into all the scenes until she realised that none of the lost characters were on the show.
Just shows that if you throw them any line at all, it'll keep people excited for decades.

SPOILER: Its another 3 series.
We only know that Kate and Jack get off the island. Richard and Ben are still alive and im sure they will have more backup but i think next season will be more about Jack and Locke , I doubt that the people supposedly coming to rescue them will in fact do that , Penny didnt know who Naomi was , interesting that Locke said to Jack you arent supposed to leave and then Jack in the flashforward wanting to go back to the island said "we werent supposed to leave"

That's good, JTS. Michael Emerson is brilliant.

Oddly enough, someone did allegedly leak the future outline of the show today. You can read all about it here if you want to be spoiled (I haven't.) Could be balls though.

Well as i said before the key to Lost is to remember "..it's always being now..."

brilliant end to the season I thought. It has really picked up in the last 6/7 episodes.

It�s addictive and I have been watching form the very first show, I don�t really watch many TV shows that are on going apart from the CSI�s, Prison Break (back next Monday!!) and a few others, in fairness Lost picked up this last month or so really enjoyed it last night.

**Sheridan** · 29/05/2007, 1:24 PM

Yeah, the last third or so of the current series was superb. Too much padding beforehand, though. I'm worried they may have shot their bolt now. Given events in the finale, I'm not sure how the drama can be strung out over three further seasons.

**citizenerased** · 29/05/2007, 2:05 PM

In fairness how much of a an absolute legend is John Locke!!!

With the flashback that was in the future, begs the question, how many of the other flashbacks/forwards were also in the future!!!

**shakermaker1982** · 29/05/2007, 3:27 PM

have you guys not had Prison Break series 2 yet aired back yonder?

**Neish** · 29/05/2007, 9:11 PM

Who's funeral was Jack at in last night's episode? My phone rang just as he was about to look at the paper in the car and I didn't see what it said. Its beeen bugging me since.

**Sheridan** · 29/05/2007, 9:28 PM

We never found out. The screencaps apparently showed a name that looked like John Lantham, it was someone with a teenage kid anyway (Michael?) Could well be a character we haven't met yet as the flashback was set in the future. It was obviously someone Kate was antagonistic towards, given her reaction when Jack asked if she'd gone to the funeral.

For what it 's worth the name on the front of the funeral home is an annagram for Fast Forward

I'm guessing Ben is in the coffin based on Jack's comment " I'm neither a friend or a member of the family" added to the fact that no else turned up....

anyway tis great fun... and I can easily see how they can get three more series out of it

**Aberdonian Stu** · 30/05/2007, 9:59 AM

In reality it's only 2 more bulked up series based on US tv standards so it's not as much of a stretch as is being made out.

The three seasons will be 16 episodes long, rather than the usual 22. This means there's 48 episodes left, instead of the 66 they would have needed to do in normal circumstances so it's only 6 episode more than two regular seasons.

Indeed these three remain series will only have 1 more episode thant Season's 1 & 2 combined. Season 1 had 24 episodes while Season 2 had 23, making 47.

SPOILER: The teenage kid bit is unconfirmed speculation (possibly a red herring) as the visible part of the news article in the paper didn't show that. The given name may be an alias or possibly the real name of someone on the island (e.g. "Sawyer" not being his real name). Kate isn't in jail so may be living under a new identity but Dr. Jack is still Dr. Jack, hmmmm...

Was very close to giving up on Lost with all the nonsense filler and boring flashback episodes (Jack's tattoos, FFS

) but it started getting good again near the end. I also like the way the writers finally acknowledged how ridiculous it was that no one talked to each other or explained anything (blatant delaying tactics). I'm hoping that the fixed end-date will make them focus on what is going on as the longer they had to stretch it out the more it looked like they were making it up as they go along.

why would Jack take his death so badly though? Unless Ben turns out to be a decent guy from hereonin.

Good point but much too logical !! Jack seemed to be saying at the end that it was a mistake that they were rescued and he wanted to go back...so maybe Ben was right !!
