And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
COME ON YOU SON OF A BITCH!
I've lost track of how many times I've been forced to re-experience Juliet's death. It doesn't get any easier ;_;

I liked that episode in which they go down to meet that physicists mother (forgot his name and hers), and they go down into that room with that crazy pendulum magnet that swings around and she tells them what flight to get on and Penny's boyfriend (sorry forgot his name too) talks about how this is all a game and you are all being fucked with. :lol

Well this is going to be amusing.
oatmeal said:
Yeah, just did. I'm still trying to work it out, but if the bomb going off was the incident (as exhibited by the hatch in the first part of L.A.X.) then wouldn't they have died? And would that make the flash-sideways some sort of...purgatory? That seems to be the only reasonable way I can think of to relate them back to the main story besides being all "oh look what WOULD have happened!"
Obviously I haven't thought this through all the way :lol
Not so sure about the purgatory part, but I'm pretty sure they died... I think.

I wouldn't bother wasting energy theorizing about it, if i were you. The writers obviously didn't either.ivysaur12 said:

They could have just stuck to the scientific time continuum plot. Instead they used
as the ultimate foundation for tying everything together. It logically works out just fine, but was a bitterly disappointing conclusion to the series.

The dock scene, that's what happened.

I got one. It was a good deal.
The numbers are the "candidates" that are left...?
Is it Sun or Jin? What do these things mean?! (Yes, I know, I'm sure I'll find out)
At least that's an answer to why they're all here.
EDIT: Stop with these mysteries. What is this lighthouse? Sure, the numbers are the candidates numbers, but what does it mean that they're EVERYWHERE? Coincidence?

I don't get this either.
SPOILERS BELOW
The bomb went off and they all died. So they went to purgatory which took place outside the island as if the plane never crashed.... so what is going on with the continued island story? The people there said the bomb didn't work or something. I'm confused, were they still alive then? Or are there 2 dream worlds after the bomb went off or what? What the fuck is going on?

Nobody but Juliet died during the Incident. Everything that happened on the island was real (as Christian states in the final scene), and the sideways purgatory was the place that they all met up in after they had all died at random points on and off the island (Christian: You're all dead. Some died before you, some long after). The bomb sent them back to their present, and it has always been the case that it goes off. It is The Incident, the event which causes Chang to lose his arm (as seen in Orientation videos since season 2) and which resulted in a large portion of the hatch area to be filled in with concrete "Like Chernobyl" - Sayid, Season 2. Then, instead of being a hatch to study the electromagnetism, it became a place to keep the unleashed power at bay via the button protocol. Whatever Happened Happened.
The flash sideways purgatory is a sort of epilogue to the island story. It is simply a way to truly send these characters off and finish their story. Juliet went there when she died in Sawyers arms. Jack went there when he collapsed in the jungle at the very end. Shannon went there when she was shot. With them all dead, they finally reunited to move on together.

Ilana's death was one of the funniest (in a ridiculous, bad way) things on the show.
What is the point of the flash-sideways? Is there ever a point where they give a reason for them? Because at this point, they're just taking up time in the 42 minutes.
This season should not be as boring as it is :-\ At least it's better than the first part of season 5, but at this point I'd rank it:
4 > 1 > 3 = 5 > 6 > 2

Ab Abterno is amazing.
So, the island is a "cork" on hell, keeping the "devil" in check? Or is he some sort of evil entity that can infect people in the same way that Claire and Sayid were? I don't really see Jacob as a God figure, more like a caretaker. He's unable to absolve Richard of his sins, which means he's not entirely holy.
I guess I should wait for Across the Sea :lol

As one of the more devout lovers of the show, I urge you -ivysaur12 said:
lower your expectations for that episode.
Honestly, I skimmed over the page on Lostpedia called "Mysteries of Lost" during season 2 and saw that most of the answers were given in Across the Sea. I've been hyped for this thing since then! Oh no! :lol
EDIT: I'm watching The Package and I love how Little John is back being a total douchebag.
EDIT 2: What makes someone a candidate? Why was Claire not a candidate? Littleton was on the wall... Is that Aaron? Was she on the plane to bring Aaron there?

There are answers in Across the Sea. I reckon the haters will continue to try to make you hate season 6, so maybe it's best if you just wait until you're done with it before continuing here. What should be a fun discussion will just be ruined by everyone who seems to be offended by someone actually liking the show, so there's my advice. Do what you will.
The episode isn't that great in terms of acting or production values, but yes, you do get answers and it will help you put everything into perspective.

whoa man we're not trying to ruin 6 for him at all. And we aren't offended by him enjoying the show.brandonh83 said:
It has one of the more satisfying character conclusions of any show and the large majority of season 6 is fantastic. But the answers are semi-ambiguous and require way too much extrapolation to determine.

You sure about that? I've read some posts that surely cause me to disagree.
