Ok how many people have now watched season six and want to go back and watch the whole series again? I'm going to. I think I'll start it again in a week or two that way I get a season or two in before hockey starts.
Off the top of my head:
[spoil]- They do allude to the mother possibly being the Smoke Monster (if that was what you were getting at). Darlton were being their usual coy self, leaving it up to the fans to ultimately decide, but you couldn't help but feel that was their intention. They specifically highlight all the destruction she seemingly caused and the fact that she leaves the camp smoking.
- They talk about the MiB being special, how his mother told him this and how he had the ability to see dead people (which Jacob could not do). They didn't make the connection, but it made me think of Ben seeing his mother as a young boy and Hurley's ability. Both of them turned out to be island leaders of some sort, so it would almost seem like the MiB's destiny was thwarted.
- The fact that Jacob turned out to be a bit of a mama's boy was brought up and that they tried to make the MiB a very sympathetic character (and I think he was in this episode). They also felt that the MiB had a much more compelling backstory than Jacob who was thrust into a role he didn't want because his brother rejected it.
- As I suspected, they discuss how their mother anointing one of them island protector was a long con. She didn't want the job anymore and this was evidenced by her thanking the MiB after he stabbed her.
- The rules are also discussed. Can they be broken? Are the rules other people have in the show related? They didn't come out and say it, but the gist I got from it was that the island protector made their own rules and had the power to enforce them. Mother had her rule that the brothers could not harm one another but once she passed her power to Jacob (and subsequently died) Jacob was able to kill his brother. Jacob got to then make his own rules, and maybe if he were a different person he could have made it so that his brother could never leave the island under any circumstances, but the way I see it is that his history of playing games with the MiB influenced him to make it possible for either side to "win". But that's all just conjecture on my part.[/spoil]
That's all I can think of at the moment. Nothing really specific, but it made me think quite a bit.

Thanks. I wish they did a commentary on the final. Maybe they did and I just can't find it on the disc. I did find a bunch of Easter eggs on disc 5 though.
I haven't watched the commentary yet. Did Darlton infer that the Smoke Monster "died" with the death of Flocke, or did it just move on to a differant "host"? What's interesting is the Island itself still needs a protector-a job given to Hurley and then to Walt. In perpetuity?
I lost interest in this show after about season 3 when they decided to make it ****ed and hard to follow.
So why are you in this thread? Maybe you need something simpler to follow-like Rubicon.

I'm hear to voice my opinion, but i guess i shouldn't be on the internet if i want to do that. It seems like no one is allowed to have an opinion on here.
Lost is all together a mediocre show and went on far too long. Inb4trolls.
LOST goes down as top 3 show of all time! So happy I was apart of the ride.
I feel bad for people that watch shows like mad mans and daxter. really plain and bad shows. well i do know the ratings to those shows are awful im just wonderin how they won academys
Well people i know that watch mad man stopped after first 2 episodes, i stopped after first 1. breaking bad like mad man? if it is which it might be since its on amc i cant give it a chance. and i dont have starz but who wants to watch another generic killer show?
How would you know it went on for too long if you only watched the first three seasons?
I watched those season in review episodes. They give enough information to make a fair assessment.

mad men though is a horrible show i watched 1 ep and it was not of my appeal. very trashy show.
How can you judge a show after one episode?
You believe he's actually watched an episode? He seems to have no clue what it's about.How can you judge a show after one episode?
