electromagnetisim in an island that can move?


Yes, the electromagnetism that also caused the Losties to flash through time.

The show was not a beacon of realism, it was science-fiction.

how did the island get these properties? what is the basis of the properties?


Yes, I would love to know all these things too. But THEY DONT *MATTER* besides me wanting to satisfy my OWN curiosity. Do you think if Jack found out what MADE the island, he would have acted differently?

Or its core? (just thinking aloud)

did we ever find out how whitmore found it again? i forget


1st time - He bought the black rock book at auction

2nd time - Jacob came to him. Remember "I'm bringing someone to the island" he told hurley

quote:

this sounds interesting, yet they don't explain it


Again, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that it WILL, and the characters need to stop it.

quote:


this horrible evil which was killed by jack on the island


Jacob couldn't kill his brother. His mother said "I've made it so you can't harm each other"

But how the hell does Hurley do that? He doesn't have any kind of special abilities as it was implied that Jacob has.



Yeah he does. When he drank the water, he got those abilities. Plus Desmond has a sailboat on the Island.

exactly. the island is a character that was not explored

this show would have been pretty boring if it took the mystery out of it

how so? the electromagnetic was in the island itself, whether it be the wells or the pockets, or the golden river - it didnt matter the lat/long it mattered the island

widmore came to the island to prevent this war - jacob appointed someone to protect against it - what more explanation is needed?

we need a sticky poll do you think they all died at the crash site or some left and lived on?



Basically a sticky poll if you remotely got the ending? They obviously weren't dead when they crashed.

the story of lost is the story of jack and company redeeming themselves. everything else is just window dressing


ok?

so that is the point of Lost and they developed a story around that.

i don't know what some of you expect from a tv show.

Then why show the wreckage?


It goes perfectly with the message of purgatory.

It's something for the fan's to think about that can't "let go" and move on.

Go ahead. Try it. Jack needs the emotional growth from the death of juliet, and real john locke. He needs his own test of faith with the dynamite. I'm sure I'm missing a whole bunch...But to just throw it in to Season 4 would have seemed forced.

We need more TV movies like Sex and the City.

Did Tony die?

What is the island?

Ross and Rachels wedding.

Did Sisko ever come back from the wormhole(going to have to be a nerd to understand that one.

If the island was purgatory then how the he'll did people like Richard get there? He was clearly alive when he arrived. Same with Ben, Juliette, and everyone who was ever in Darma unless you think they were just pretend characters in the minds of the dead plane crash victims.

Throw in the fact that Christian clearly said it happened and the answer is fairly obvious.

Midiclorians. Do we really need an exact explanation of this? Its only bound to be anti-climatic and we get the point of it.

Yes because it is so obvious why Aaron was a baby and why Jin and Sun had no baby and the wreckage.

Even better, the show has always been so obvious.

Aaron bring a baby and the Asians not having one is a plothole more than it is evidence IMO.

And that ultimately is my main gripe - that everything is "because it is".

I don't need the answers to everything, nor do I want them. But when nearly everything doesn't have any sort of explanation other than "because", it takes away a lot of the purpose and motivation of these characters because there is no "why" just the "what".

I don't understand why so many people are willing to be content with the flash sideways explanation. It made everything else that happened in this season in that arch completely pointless. Any kind of emotion or interest that you invested in the characters in this alternate timeline were for nothing. None of it was real.



Did you miss Christian's point that all of this was real. Its like saying after you die your life was pointless.
quote:

If they had explained the flash sideways as all being a dream, people would have been pissed.


Yeah that would have sucked and been a cop out. Your point?The sideflashes were a good addition to the mythology and they obviously knew what they were doing.

You people are making too much out of Aaron. Having him is what made Claire remember. Purgatory or not it's not like she's just going to sit a new born down and say "frick it I'm moving on"

shite
