Lost: Season 1-5 with spoilers

[zicmubleu]

If you have not watched seasons 1-5 of Lost this is not the thread you want. Move along.

Now that season 5 is over and only season 6 remains but we have a lot more to work with at this point it seems like some good analysis, or bad, of what this show is about should take place. There were so many complaints about mentioning things that occurred in various points of the show without using spoilers in the other threads I think we need a place to run free. I was hoping a more dedicated Lostaholic would start a spoiler thread but I can't wait forever. A lot of you have picked up S1 and S2 on blu and watched them completely, I have only made it as far as the premiere part 1. However I would like some good tips on things to watch for as I watch more of the show over the next few weeks and months.

As a simple example I noticed how in the first show Kate confesses to Jack she would get up and run when confronted with a situation like he described in his "deal with fear countdown" speech. It was an early tip off about her character which may turn out to be more significant as to why Jacob picked her for the O815 flight.

Open up and give us your best interpretations of what is going on and will happen, I mean whatever happened, happened; right? Oh and sorry about creating another Lost thread to all of you that try to keep up with all of them, none had spoil in the title however.

i was honestly AFRAID to click this thread, thinking there was a spoiler for next season lol

i tend to steer clear of Lost discussions. ppl like to theorize what is going to happen next, good for them for guessing...i can't recall reading a single post that came remotely close to their predictions.


i like to sit back and watch without trying to figure out what is going to happen next, that is too frustrating!

i'm curious to find out what the deal is with hurley and seeing dead ppl tho.

Ironically people complained about spoilers when just what has been shown months before is discussed. I don't think you can spoil the show even if JJ Abrams, Carlton Cuse, and Damon Lindelof posted spoilers, it wouldn't spoil the show since we still wouldn't know what it means! My season 7 reference is what comes after the series ends, hopefully a long a contracted discussion about what happened, probably the antithesis of "whatever happened, happened", we may never know if they play their cards right.

A cool thing I read was that we get an extra hour for Season 6!!!

I have no idea what thread to post in anymore but i hope this doesn't mean anything bad for the last season. I couldn't imagine leaving one of the greatest shows ever right before the last season.

Comic book scribe turned screenwriter Brian K. Vaughan has certainly made his mark on the hit show Lost. But everything good must eventually come to an end. Lost producer Damon Lindelof has confirmed on the DocArzt & Friends Lost Podcast that Vaughan will not be returning for the sixth and final season of the series, and “has left for greener pastures.”

Vaughan has been with the show since mid-way through Season 3. His presence could be felt though the pop culture-infused dialogue (who would win in a race, superman or the flash? Hurley writing Empire Strikes Back. Hurley reading a foreign issue of Brian’s Y: The Last Man at the airport) and some of the series’ epic plot twists and cliffhangers. And while he wasn’t credited with a writing credit on my favorite episode of the series, and possibly of television ever, The Constant, his fingerprints can be felt all over it. Over the last two and a half years, Vaughan has produced 16 episodes, co-produced 13 more, written 7 teleplays and was credited as Executive Story Editor on another 10. For me the departure of Vaughan is huge, and it will be interesting to see how the final season progresses without him.

We’re not exactly sure where the “greener pastures” may be, but I’m assuming he’s gearing up to go full time writing some Hollywood films. His twist on the King Arthur legend Roundtable is setup at Dreamworks, Marvel is developing his comic Runwaways, Y: The Last Man is still in development but stalling over at New Line/Warner Bros, so maybe he’s going to ry to give that a kick start with a completely new draft. And his comic Ex Machina is in development over at BenderSpink. But my feeling is that Vaughan probably has some more original ideas he wants to get out, and maybe even move into producing some big screen productions.

This is all just my own speculation. Who knows, he could have a new comic book project in the works. Whatever it is, one would assume that it has to be big, or at least big enough to warrant leaving Lost in its final hours.

my theory on lost is that ben linus knew about everything from the time travel through the oceanic 6 leaving, and is just playing mind games with everyone

my hope though is that they drop the time travel and the show ends with sawyer killing ben linus and all the survivors leave the island but with the way the show is going now i think it will end with jack dying to save the island and kate sawyer etc. becoming the others

I definitely agree with the guy on slashpost about "The Constant" (presuming I know which episode that was) as being one of the best episodes of any TV series, ever. I wish I knew somebody that has seasons 1-5 so I could borrow them. I like the suggestion of trying to think of WHY they were selected to come to the island. I understand the possibility of Linus knowing what happened in the past, but he has no way of knowing what happens to himself and John (erm, well, you know) in the present. He was CLEARLY surprised that it wasn't really John (as I was.) I'm presuming that the person we've been seeing as Christian is also Jacob (I don't remember the name of the guy he was trying to kill.) There is still the question of WHY are they immortal? Also, is anyone else really immortal, or is (can't think of the name of the man who went to Locke and told him he would be special one day, the one that gave Locke the compass, the one we've seen multiple times at both time periods looking the same age, etc.) just Jacob/ the other guy's normal Island guise?

highly doubt it was my post you read, but any lost forum i find, i express my fondness for "the Constant" as my favorite episode of any tv show ever. it was outstanding and moves me every time i watch it. I get chills when I hear "ON YOUR SODDING FEET!!" you're just like whoa...what is going on??? if it wasn't so late i'd watch it again now! haha maybe tomorrow =D
