Lost: Season 3 (Spoilers)

[Chaplin]

There's been an update, and it might not be 2 seasons after all, might be longer.

 

[blindseyed]

I was just about to post that!!!

But how about the tidbit at the end about a cast-related "game-changer"???

"Game changer"...game.....hmmmm

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

They know all about the surivors becuase it is purgatory IMO, Ben is Satan...Notice he told Locke that he had to choose to kill his father of his own free will to become one of them.

Jack made a deal with the devil when Ben promised to let him off the island. I believe Juliet also mad a deal with the devil to save her sister.

Its all about Satan tricking these folks into signing the dotted line IMO...

 

[Mike Olbinski]

It SO isn't Purgatory or hell or Satan

 

[Nasser22]

I don't know, what he said makes a lot of sense and that was one of the first things I thought when I first started watching the show.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

They've showed the outside world notice the Island, and people coming to the Island from the mainland.

I honestly think if it's some sort of Purgatory, it will really, REALLY be huge letdown.

 

[Nasser22]

Who are you referring to coming from the mainland?

Why would that be a letdown to you? ...Predictability?

 

[Pariah]

Who are you referring to coming from the mainland?

Penny "notices" the island. And Richard seems to come and go, though I could have my timelines mixed up .

Why would that be a letdown to you? ...Predictability?

Yes. For "predictability" in the sense that everyone guessed it from the start and "predictability" in the sense that it's the same cop-out of "it was all a dream..." would be.

 

[Jersey Girl]

I have a question... Sawyers file and all the information that is in it. How do the 'others' get the info? I mean it is all knowing information that in most cases there would be no way to get it. Maybe the Patriot Act....

That made LOL!

I agree, Mike. I don't think it can be some sort of purgatory. I mean, if Desmond's girl is really looking for him, then it can't be purgatory, right? Or can it? Geesh. I just don't know anymore.

Going back to the chick parachuting out of the sky. She looked familiar. Have we seen her before? (Sorry if this was already discussed. Just watched the epsiode on Tuesday and have been avoiding this thread.)

Hmm, my dad told me about a really popular show that made the entire first season a dream. Maybe you're talking about the same thing?

You're right, I hope they do something more creative than that.

I don;'t know about that...but it's a pretty standard "out" in amateur fiction.

Wasn't it St. Elsewhere? The entire show was someone's dream?

 

[Chaplin]

Wasn't the entire 3rd season of Dallas a dream? The one where Bobby wasn't shot?

no it was the final god awful season of Rosanne after she won the lottery.

 

[Louis]

no it was the final god awful season of Rosanne after she won the lottery.

And Newhart.

the writers and producers have said that this is not a dream - they wouldn't short-change the audience that way.

also - coming and going to the island - we think that michael and walt left as well - although we still do not know that for sure. but richard and ethan seemed to have been able to come and go as they needed.

I gotta wonder if Michael and Walt will be returning to the island sometime in the season finale. Hard to believe they've been gone all season--especially since Michael was such a main character.

i thought the producers said we would see them again in season 4.

Of course, on IMDB, it says that Harold Perrineau has a pilot for this summer, so who knows.

 

[Pariah]

When we see Walt again, he'll have visibly aged--He's a kid in puberty, but even in season 4 they're still likely only on the island for a few months despite that we haven't seen Walt for 3 years.

right - which goes back to a theory i had much earlier on as it deals with the others being able to control events, etc. it was that time moves differently slower on the island as opposed to off the island. so i think if that holds true, Walt and Michael could return older.

Isn't that assuming they left the island in the first place? Why didn't Naomi know about Michael and Walt unless they were lost at sea or just stayed silent about the island. She said they had been searching for awhile, and Penny probably sent her people out searching as Michael and Walt were leaving the island.

My theory is that they never really left the island, leaving a whole bunch of cool flashbacks for Season 4.

I'm sure they can make him look a couple years younger, like the kids..young adults, in Harry Potter.

I can't wait to see them again.

that might be true - but they gave him (michael) a very specific heading to travel on which i took to be a "gateway" of sorts that allows them to move in and out of that area - remember, they are able to bring people from the outside in, so i do not see any reason why they would not be able to leave either.

Well, seems like you've got a lot more faith that the Others were speaking the truth than I do.
