Any word on a box set for the seasons of the show yet? Or what the price of it will be like (in Canada)?
Just googling all I see are sites selling sets of Seasons 1-5 for what seems a very suspiciously low price - almost as little as local stores charge for a single season.
I'd like to get the seasons so that I can watch them with my girlfriend, who seems to get interested in the plot and characters of episodes when she sees them, but has never seen the show in order (or much of it at all really).

Price in Canada should be around 180ish for DVD set and 220-250 for BluRay set.

Anyone know if Mcfarlane are still making Lost Figures?

Erm. Juliet saying "it worked" was probably her response to unplugging the vending machine.
It was. It's part of the dialogue, and was blatantly used as a red herring to convince us that Jughead had worked (and created the X-timeline). But it didn't happen, Jughead only sent the Losties back to the future and, most importantly, contained the Incident. Without Jughead, DHARMA drilling a massive pocket of EM energy would have been akin to uncorking the island (everything would have probably fallen apart). Jughead being there is also the reason behind the Chernobyl-like concrete walls we saw in S2 (to contain the radiations leaking from an unexploded nuke).Discotheque said:

Interesting article on WSJ about the impact the ending of filming the show 'Lost' will have on the local economy and people:

The article contains a slideshow of some of the remaining sets still on the island, and here are some highlights from the article itself:
:lol

I still don't think Faraday's discussion with Desmond was a red herring. I think it was one of the most important conversations of the season. He was explaining to him how important it was that what happened, happened. This is what their lives were supposed to be. Where they were was not correct.

ALL fiction is manipulative, so I dont get why LOST in particular gets shit on for it. The writers of whatever book/movie/TV show you are going through want you to hate character X, want to elicit shock from you in scene Y, want to make you cry with scene Z.

After watching the finale, I felt strangely unmoved. I understand everything that happened, so it's not ignorance on my part. I guess my main beef was the entire point of the afterlife. Why did we need to see it? I already knew that the characters had deep ties to one another, and that being on the Island together was a profound experience for all involved. I didn't need to have that be told to me over 18.5 episodes. And while it was cool a few times to see characters interacting under the auspices of being total strangers once again, it got old right around Recon. The reveal wasn't at all what I expected, but it still didn't make the flash-sideways seem anymore relevant.
I don't know. I just get slightly grumpy whenever I think about it. Perhaps I need to watch it again.

Just watched all of S6 in a marathon over the last week
I liked a lot of it but it all felt ultimately pointless
I guess it's not a surprise I haven't been the biggest fan since s1-2 or so but damn
it really hit home that many things just seemed to be put in to be explained later
And when they were explained it's like we were just shown some scenes that make sense within the logic of the show, but right up until the end we still have stupid cryptic statements from characters going this is how it has to be... so nothing was really explained in the end
I dunno Just bummed about it now.

Just catching up on the thread, Michael Keaton would have been an awesome Jack. I like Fox, but Keaton is a significantly better actor. However Keaton's love interest with Kate would have been less convincing, and he wouldn't have brought the women audience like Fox did. But, they could have written the character much differently. So who knows how it would have turned out, very interesting.
I do know that Josh Holloway was the most perfectly cast actor since Harrison Ford in Star Wars.

One thing about this season - how come they never gave illana any form of backstory? i think she's the only main cast member that has never been given a flashback. (correct me if they have been others).
I think with what illana felt about jacob, a flashback of hers would have been a good way of fleshing out both her character and jacob.

The 1970s perhaps? which was around DI time, so jacob was away from the island at that time? :lolgdt5016 said:
Yeah, she could theoretically be jacobs daughter. As she said "jacob was the closet thing she had to a father" i assume jacob really was, and jacob never told her for whatever reason.
