He gave them a token (diploma, clock, medal) in place of what they claimed to have been missing.<br /><br />Finally, we (the viewers) discover that Oz doesn't exist and that the entire story was only to point out that the things most important in life are often overlooked, but always close by.<br /><br />As far as the answers go, I was less concerned with the "how" and more concerned with the "why". I didn't need a scientific explanation to the "how" of Daniel's time change experiment, but I did want to know "why" that was important to the story line of Lost. The same can be said of many of the remaining questions left unanswered.<br /><br />Finally, in a post from an earlier episode, I asked about the "new Jacob" and the "new MIB". Seems that the consensus was that both would have to be replaced because there needs to be a balance between good and evil, both must exist. Do you think that is no longer the case?Dave Hartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788810146869823651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-26712822644378822252010-05-28T09:53:44.430-05:002010-05-28T09:53:44.430-05:00I really do hope we get one final analysis.

There may yet be answers on the horizon though, as cast member Michael Emerson (aka Benjamin Linus) visited G4’s Attack of the Show with this tease:<br /><br />“For those people that want to pony up and buy the complete Lost series, there is a bonus feature, which is…you could call it an epilogue. A lost scene. It’s a lot. It’s 12 or 14 minutes that opens a window onto that gap of unknown time between Hurley becoming number one and the end of the series. It’s self-contained, although it’s a rich period in the show’s mythology that ‘s never been explored, so who knows what will come of it.”<br /><br />Emerson denied the scene could launch a spinoff, although (and I’ma just throw this out there) that doesn’t sound like a terrible premise… hmm. I am certainly very eager to see the scene, as well as any other explanatory special features. Check out a clip of the interview for yourself after the jump.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857655627700261559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-50075185991655212932010-05-27T08:40:32.244-05:002010-05-27T08:40:32.244-05:00Brian, remember earlier this season we were watchi...Brian, remember earlier this season we were watching the page counter on your blog turn over to 1M?

Boy Jacob is playing the black and white stone game with his brother. His brother (the chosen one at the time) makes up the rules because it is his game. <br /><br />When Jacob becomes the chosen one, he decides the rules and his brother is left guessing as to what they are (except knowing he had to find a way to kill Jacob).<br /><br />Jacob is hardly benign good, he is willing to sacrifice people and keep everyone guessing as to his strategy. This can account for many good or redeemed persons almost sacrificed to the smoke like pawns. (perhaps this is the significance of Ying and Yang, good and bad in all, even Jacob who is a reverse Cain and Abel)<br /><br />To me it is like, Jacob's brother, without knowing the initial significance of the candidates, eliminates unnecessary pieces from the 'board/island' in the early seasons.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352885270908118619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-64622025936193783252010-05-26T21:54:56.895-05:002010-05-26T21:54:56.895-05:00http://futuretom.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/an-open-...http://futuretom.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/an-open-letter-to-anyone-who-thought-the-end-of-lost-was-awesome/<br /><br />Found this amusing letter.

I was drawn in by the numbers, the smoke monster, Jacob's cabin, the others and the Dharma Initiative.<br /><br />I'm pretty dissappointed with how it turned out. I watched all six seasons from the beginning thinking all along that the payoff was going to be more about unravelling the mysteries.<br /><br />I could care less about the love triangles and who ends up with who and the "daddy issues" and all the relationship stuff. I endured it because I thought the writers were just adding that stuff in to appeal to a portion of the audience who would be drawn to such things. I didn't know it was going to be the whole "what it's all about".<br /><br />What a ripoff. Whatever. The writers are entitled to write whatever the want to write. It's their show, but I just feel they were very misleading about what the premise of the show was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002312993056428451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-75763130280652017112010-05-26T15:23:12.447-05:002010-05-26T15:23:12.447-05:00http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/25/arts/television/...http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/25/arts/television/25lost.htmljackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079402142400801124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-67012700315386391492010-05-26T14:42:13.015-05:002010-05-26T14:42:13.015-05:00In closing...

My observation is that we view LOST the same way we do life. <br /><br />For me, i liked the ending but still had questions and thought this show could/should go on. Some call me wishy washy because i seem to flounder or "ride the fence". What i've come to understand is that, like most everything else i've previously pointed out, i'm not either one of Faith OR one of Science, but am BOTH. I am very spiritual, but also very analytical & science minded. I ALWAYS want to know, have always been curious...guess that makes for a good Truth-seeker.? Dunno.<br /><br />After having thought about my issues in not getting the answers i wanted, i realize that i have much "letting go" to do and perhaps in doing so will get answers i actually NEED when needed or when i "remember" [what/who I AM &/or who/what i am not]. Maybe, just maybe, the questions were left unanswered on purpose to get us to go within and ask...and just maybe this place isn't one or the other, but BOTH realities touched upon on LOST. In life, we are all LOST [souls]. Just a thought. Anything is possible, right?Lisa G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17399664539584655343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498413.post-15993761209394290232010-05-26T13:07:48.222-05:002010-05-26T13:07:48.222-05:00To jack
