LOST

Recommended Posts

It seems pretty obvious that there was some mining activity here. Thats why compasses don't work (well, near large metal deposits).

 

Survivors are still alive, or descendants, or both.

 

So something of that sort is down there, and probably much more.

 

Limbo. But not in the death sense. In the time-sense.

Check out the global grid. Crackpot theory yes, but combine it with some elements of the Philadelphia Experiment and a mining colony on alot of metal, and we have ourselves a place that could get messed up by nuclear testing.

Someone made a Lost video.  Good synch in some spots.

I don't think I'd wanna make a Lost video until the DVDs come out. I'd be editing something really cool in there and I'd get pop-up ads at the bottom of the screen for The Bachelor or some shit like that

 

pretty cool vid, though. I'm thinking about doing one with Redemption Song

Dude, the center of the fucking earth is a pretty big deal.  What if they opened up something when they reached it which effected the island?

 

*singing*

 

"We'll live in the center of the earth

To see what life is worth

In the center of the earth!"

 

"We'll be free

As free as you can be

Ten thousand miles beneath the sea

In the center of the earth!"

 

"We've dug ourselves to glory!

The plows will tell the story.

Of the men who dared to live

In the center of the earth!"

 

"At last

China and Ecuador

Are friends forever more

At the center of the earth"

 

"We'll eat

Dirt and rocks and mud

The heat will boil our blood

At the center of the earth!"

 

"We've dug ourselves to glory!

The plows will tell the story

Of the men who dared to live

At the center of the earth!"

 

 

 

And 8 minutes later, they were all dead!

I'm thinking a magnetic anomaly caused by a large hunk of metal (iron ore) would do the trick.

 

Remember Occam's Razor.

 

That's why Crichton's "Prey" book seems to make a heck of alot of sense. One concept covers nearly everything that's weird about the island.

What makes this show really great is that I've seen the pilot now about 6 or 7 times, and I desperately want to see it again JUST so I can revist the characters and see where they were when they first landed. It was a different show back then.

So how much of the sci-fi of the global grid & the Philadelphia Experiment do you think will come into play? Abrams has a history of coming up with plausible explanations (though admittedly pseudo-science ones) that simply reference their roots.

 

But this stuff is freaky.

When you get to some of the math stuff and plug in The Numbers, it's unbelievable. 4-8-15-16-23-42 adding up to 108... 666 being the number for the sun (remember the light of the hatch)... weird.

^That link could lead to some good gov't conspiracy theories. I love this:

 

The way that these little men piloting the scout ships would telepath would be by a process where you hear the words in your mind, known as clear talk.

Think of Walt and the whispers. I think someone already said it, but maybe Walt will be used in the mines initially but he probably has a more important purpose.

You're on the right track Spicy.

 

Now, consider infant nanotechnology. It learns by what it interacts with.

What kind of mind can concieve of more ideas...a child, or an adult.

 

That is why Walt is important. Just as Alex was.

 

Imagination (why do you think that Walt was enthralled by a comic book.

Yeah i've heard the nanomachines theory on thefuselage, i like the idea but it feels a bit too out of place.

 

Anyone wish to speculate on the "Their not the survivors they thought that are?"

 

Oh btw does anyone know what it means when you click jacks seat it changes the name of oceanic 777 quickly to 815 and back again?

Holloway Muses on 'Lost' Finale

(Thursday, June 02 09:00 AM)

By Kate O'Hare

 

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Calling in from the set of his new movie, "Whisper," in Vancouver, B.C., Josh Holloway has a few thoughts on the finale of ABC's "Lost."

"I was a little disappointed in the finale," says Holloway, who plays con man Sawyer on the hit series. "I liked it, but I didn't love it. The script was one thing, but they tried to do so much, I feel like that some things lost the power they had. But that's okay; it was still good."

 

After a season full of dangling plot threads and tantalizing clues, fans were hoping for some solid revelations at the end. What they got in the May 25 finale were some hints and a few surprises, but in the end, more questions than answers. And that goes for the actors as well.

 

 

"We don't get answers either," Holloway says. "So I'm like, 'Aaaarrrgh!' I'm assuming that's the way TV is. I'm excited personally to quit asking questions about the writers and what they do and just do my job."

"Lost" follows survivors of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 from Sydney to Los Angeles, crashed on a tropical island a thousand miles off-course.

 

In their month or so on the island, the castaways have discovered that it's no ordinary place, with polar bears, an invisible "security system," and the unseen "Others" whispering in the jungle.

 

They've also learned they're not alone. Mira Furlan plays Danielle Rousseau, survivor of a boat accident, who's been on her own for 16 years, and William Mapother played Ethan Rom, who faked being a crash survivor in order to pursue his own nefarious ends before being killed by one of the castaways. Both Danielle and Ethan showed a lot of interest in pregnant castaway Claire (Emilie de Ravin), both before and after she had her baby.

 

In the finale, Danielle stole the baby, hoping to trade it to "The Others" for a child stolen from her 16 years ago, but they had other plans. The Others -- or at least their scruffy, seagoing minions -- tracked Sawyer and fellow survivors Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) and Michael (Harold Perrineau) as they set sail on a raft. They ultimately snatched Michael's young son, Walt (Malcolm David Kelley), instead of the baby, shooting Sawyer and leaving the raft ablaze.

 

Sharp-eyed viewers may have noticed something about the people on the boat, but if not, Holloway says, "There were twins, which I don't know if you could tell. They were identical twins, which was really spooky. There again, that wasn't emphasized."

 

There also may be more footage showing what happened everyone was forced off the raft. "They filmed some stuff of us in the water that they cut out," Holloway says. "I'm wondering if they're saving that for the premiere. I'm hoping that it wasn't for no reason, because it was cold and it was three in the morning when we got there."

 

Loyal Sawyer fans probably noted that he had a new hairstyle on the raft, trading in his free-flowing locks for a samurai-style ponytail.

 

"I've been really having a hard time just with the logistics of the frickin' hair," Holloway says, "and trying to work with the hair whipping in your face all the time, because we shoot outside on the beach, right? I was thinking about that, on the raft, God, it's going to be coming from all directions! So I came up with that little idea. It worked great. I could actually see."

 

In one of the episode's unexpected moments, high-school science teacher Arzt (Daniel Roebuck) was helping the castaways deal with some old, unstable dynamite when he was suddenly blown to pieces.

 

"That was one of the best deaths I've seen," Holloway says. "'A shower of meat,' as it was described in the script. We were like, 'Oooh, God!,' but even that could have been a little more Tarantino-ish, if you will. It needed a little more blood."

 

Since he went to work on "Whisper" the day after "Lost" wrapped in late April, Holloway didn't exactly get to have a viewing party for the finale. "I watched it in my hotel room after we wrapped at three in the morning here," he says. "That's how I've seen the last four episodes, actually, because I've been working every day."

 

Since Sawyer is currently underwater and his fate unknown, fans may have to wait a bit to see another scene between him and Jack Shepard (Matthew Fox), the neurosurgeon who has become the castaways' de facto leader. That would be a shame, since the fireworks between them is one of the show's most entertaining elements.

 

"They're like two brothers who were separated at birth," Holloway says. "They're two sides of the same thing. Sawyer's just had a different life experience. He was raised more on the darker side of life. I find it really interesting because Matthew and I work kind of similar. He's the kind of person I can sit next to and not have to say a word to and just get it. We really don't have to talk that much, like brothers.

 

"When we've got a big scene to do, we're not all joking with each other. We don't even talk to each other. Then after the scene, we give each other a big hug. That chemistry, and the way we work, comes through on screen. So I find a scene with Foxy to be very intense, but easy to do, because he's right there, on fire, and I'm right there. It just works."

"Lost" Gets Fresh Blood

By Marcus Errico , E! Online

 

Looks like Jack, Sayid, Kate, et al. are getting some more company on mystery island. 

ABC confirmed Monday that Michelle Rodriguez will join Lost's cast of castaways full-time next season. The news was first reported by E! Online TV columnist Krisitin Veitch. (This story contains possible spoilers, so consider yourself alerted.)

 

 

In part one of last season's finale, Rodriguez's character, Ana-Lucia Cortez, was briefly shown in a flashback scene flirting with Matthew Fox's Jack in a Sydney airport bar before the ill-fated Oceanic flight 815 boarded. She and Jack compared seat assignments (Jack was in the middle of the plane, she was in the tail section) before she got a cellphone call and left him hanging.

 

 

Although ABC and Lost masterminds J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof won't say exactly in what capacity Rodriguez will be appearing, speculation is already rampant that she will not be relegated merely to flashbacks. Lost message boards are filling up with possible scenarios to explain her character's addition to the cast, with the leading theory being that, as some of the plane-crash survivors surmised during the first season, passengers in the tail section of the airliner landed on an as-yet unexplored nook of the island and will be reunited with the main ensemble in season two.

 

 

When last we left the show, which was one of the season's biggest rookie hits, averaging nearly 16 million viewers, Jack, Locke, Kate and Hurley had blasted opened the mysterious hatch and found...a long, dark passageway. Meanwhile, Michael, Walt, Jin and Sawyer's boat ride was interrupted by the less than neighborly "Others," a group of men who intercepted the raft, kidnapped the seemingly clairvoyant Walt, shot Sawyer and blew up the vessel. Michael was left treading water among the wreckage as Jin dove in to try to save Sawyer.

 

 

Aside from the Rodriguez casting tidbit, the show's brain trust is throwing another bone to loyal fans to keep them occupied over the summer. A new Website has been launched for Lost's fictional Oceanic Airlines at Oceanic-Air.com, containing secret messages, behind-the-scenes info on the show and a trailer for season two. (Hint: Use Hurley's cursed numbers, if you dare.)

 

 

Rodriguez, 26, hit Hollywood's radar after her breakout performance in the Sundance hit Girlfight. She has also appeared in The Fast and the Furious, Blue Crush, Resident Evil and S.W.A.T. She recently wrapped the Wes Craven-produced horror flick Breed and a voice role in the Latin-themed animated film Sian Ka'an with    Salma Hayek and Alfred Molina.

 

 

The first season of Lost will be available on DVD on Sept. 6, ahead of the debut of the second season, which will now air in the 9 p.m. slot on Wednesday.
