I never got the impression Locke really couldn't bring himself to seek help from somebody else... Just off the top of my head, there was Helen (whom he met in a support group), the hippie community, Boone, Eko, Desmond, Unexplained Christian Ghost in that well ("no, I can't help you, John, for I am an Unexplained Asshole"), Widmore, the Oceanic 6...MMaRsu said:
Not exactly a new situation for Jack... After the operation, I was half-expecting him to propose to Locke.brandonh83 said:
(speaking of which... is that "don't trust her Jack" line for real or mere vandalism? hilarious if true! :lol )
That thing about "having to remember" is still an issue that was manufactured by the afterlife in the first place...

That is, yes. But it's not the only obstacle for them. They each have to overcome something even before remembering.

Makes sense, as it was manufactured by the island as a reward.

First of all, this kind of attitude is a contributing factor to why so many people find your ramblings increasingly annoying. Just thought I would throw that out there.
Anyway, to answer your question, Kate's theme in the flashbacks was that she was always on the run. In the flash-sideways, she started out much the same way. However, when she runs into Claire, she has two options: stay on the run, or help her out. She makes the choice that she probably would not have made before crashing on the island.
Says who? ^^;BenjaminBirdie said:
Anyway, my point was that the limbo thing's purpose is... let's be nice and say "quite vague".
Was it character growth? If so, it did a pretty bad job at it, considering some characters were just going through the same issues as before without any actual resolution (Sawyer going after Cooper, for example? that went nowhere: he just saw Juliet and "oooooh, let's go to the church together!"), and others were dealing with new, different issues brought up by the afterlife itself (Jack and his son... resolved, but who cares? the kid never existed!).
Was it to show those characters were destined to find each other, plane crash or not? If so, maybe the writers shouldn't have had Special Desmond work overtime to bring them together. Or explained that the whole point of that weird afterlife was that they'd find each other (so no surprise, there).
Hey, that's how it happened! :lolbrandonh83 said:
Let's ignore for a moment the fact she did get caught because she tried to save somebody else... So that was supposed to tell us that Kate had changed? Didn't we see that she could be altruistic already, on the island?

It's true that Kate did that, but she was hiding on the guy's farm and he actually let her and took care of her. Kate has always had a soft side, no doubt, and when he asked her to stay for just another night, she didn't see the harm in it and didn't think he would turn her in. I'm not saying that your point is invalid, I just think it's an entirely different circumstance altogether.

What do you mean, specifically, in relation to this particular debate?
That it's not character growth if she's simply remembering that she likes Claire.brandonh83 said:
You end up with an afterlife that makes her forget things that she then has to remember... So all in all, the whole thing is pointless.
And it's not like there's any "challenge" when it comes to remembering all that stuff, as they just need to find their "significant others" and we're told that afterlife exists so that eventually happens: that's the whole point (plus, you have Convenient Desmond around to speed things up, here!).
All you're left with is the fireworks when it all comes back to the characters. "Awwwww!" Cheap emotional manipulation, like I (and many others) said before.

I... don't agree? I don't really know what else to say, if I continued the argument it would just be content based on my opinions. I don't think it was emotional manipulation at all and I disagree with virtually everything you wrote there. I'm comfortable with leaving it at that.

:lol Siren is good.
I can't believe I didn't notice this before but Mr. Eko and Caesar were in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Just watched that on Netflix and noticed it. I guess it makes sense though, cause I didn't start watching Lost until after I saw the movie for the first time. But still, everywhere I go, there's always someone or something that reminds me of this show. I just can't let go!

This is the most ultimate theory on Walt I have ever seen.
I am now complete.

Good deal!
I've shouted out in the discussion thread that I don't think Siren is as good/scary as everyone makes it out to be, but no, it's a solid horror game.
And that theory on Walt is pretty good, it's kind of obvious but the write-up does a good job at combining a lot of facts more coherently.

Another funny little coincidence, In "Special" Walt says how he doesn't want to study Australian birds because they live in Australia and that he'd rather study Egyptian birds.
I got my parents into LOST while I've been visiting them. They're about halfway through the first season.
My sister in law is almost done season 6, I watched What Kate Does with her and my brother and enjoyed it A LOT more than I did the first time.
Watching it week to week was so hard because there was so much pressure for 'answers' and 'resolutions' and 'megatons'. So when that episode was just...whatever, everyone (including me) hated it.
But it's not THAT bad. It just is.

I think you're right.
I despised WKD when it first aired, i was like one of those finale haters, shouting my mouth off(which i regret) about how bad it was whenever I could.
But thinking back, theres some pretty good scenes in it and the FSW events with Kate and Claire seem less ridiculous knowing what we know now.

This makes me sad.
I know some Blu-Rays are region free, but there was a couple of seasons of Lost that weren't region free on Blu-Ray. Does anyone have any idea if the complete collection is/isn't?

I think in the complete collection S1, 2, 5 and 6 are region free but S3 and 4 are not.
Weird i know

I don't think they'll put it up for pre-order. But since the release date is Sep 14th- it'll be put on iTunes at around 10-11pm on Monday the 13th.DarkWish said:
I'm thinking the price for it will be $9.99

Usually the Lost sountracks are $9.99 on iTunes (and other online/digital retailers) so hopefully the Season 6 OST follows that trend.
I finally got the watch the Man in Charge. I haven't got the box set yet but I rented the final disc of Season 6 for the extras. Honestly, I didn't like it. I was hoping to get a little peak at life after the events of Lost and a chance to see some characters, but it was all about answering the little questions that we have already figured about and that I don't care about for the most part. The brief bit with Hurley made me smile, though. I guess I'm just not an answer-man, that's not what I love about Lost.
The extra features were great. The on set stuff was really fun to watch. The feature about the final season almost had me in tears with the cast getting all emotional about the show ending and reflecting on their characters. It was great to see how much they enjoyed doing the show, and being reminded of how much I enjoyed it as well. It made me think of how much I love this show and what a great time I had watching it. Lost was a joy to watch and I look forward to revisiting it many times in the future.
Favorite TV show ever. ♥

It's in the box set though, maybe even the S6 box itself if you haven't bought the Complete stizz.
