Flight 815-ers Unite discussion

Oh boy. It is 3 days after the finale of season 4 and here I sit, still licking the wounds Lost inflicted upon my heart. I fear I shall never be the same.

I am sure many of you are feeling the same as I am. That was, by far, the best Finale yet!

So many things to chew on.
So many questions were answered (the man in the coffin, how you move the island, who made them lie to the media).
SO many others were created (Why are Claire and Christian in the cabin? How the hell did Locke die? Is Charolette Annie? Where the hell did the island go? Is Jin Alive?).
And yet still, we find ourselves in the midst of a bunch that were overlooked completely ( When will find out about the numbers? How did Ben control Smokey, Where was Vincent as all this went down? Why is Hurley still so damn fat)!

How shall we make it thru the long Lostless summer, fall, and winter?

I know! I have no clue how I shall survive.

Im bored, and its thursday, right about now i would be in the middle of a new kickass lost episode (awww man)

And tonite my 5 year old was playing a game called 'would you rather' with me(that he picked up from the kids show Zoey 101) and it got me thinking....

Lets play an adult version of Would You Rather based on lost.

Anyone willing to play along? Its silly, I know, But could make for some fun too...

Would you rather:
face the smoke monster or make out with Ben?
(if your a guy, you can substitute Rose for Ben)

I will totally take my chances with the smoke! Ben is way too creepy...

Would you rather eat a 50 year old can of food or have to have long conversations with people who haven't brush their teeth since the crash?

I think I would rather talk with stinky breathed rotting teeth people, you never know, the food might kill ya!

Would you rather push the button in the hatch for a year, or sit through Room 23 for one day?

Hatch.


Would you rather tortue Ben or make out with Sayid? (Whose Rose?) (If you're a straight guy, then it's Juliet or Kate, whoever you are attracted to the most!)

Oh wow... totally Sayid (we're talking Island Sayid and not Clean, Blowdryed Sayid, right!)

Would you rather eat fish biscuts for a week or groom Hurley (body wax, clipping toenails, massage ect)?

(I mean Island Sayid, and I'd do exactly the same thing, why the hell did Shannon get so lucky?)

Ew, I think I'd go the fish biscuits but that's still ew!

Would you rather be one of the ones who traipses (sp?) around the island finding people, finding things, et cetera, or one of the ones who sits on the beach and waits for someone else to do all those things?

I think I would be afraid of getting lost. But I dont like just sitting around either. Do I get to run around the island with someone who knows that they are doing? haa haa

Would you rather have been in the Tail section, or in the Fuselage?

Where ever Sawyer and Jack ended up, that's where I want to be ... He he he Sorry but Ana Lucia and the other bunch were a little ... hmmm ... well on the creepier side, they got the kids taking away and all (whatever happened to those kids?)

Would you rather have the answer to all the questions given on the last finale or have a movie coming out every 5 or so years to give us more answers/questions a-la Xfiles?

Oh boy.. gimme all the answers please. All of them. Dont miss a thing!!

Would you rather be a Jacobs Chosen One or just follow the leader where they may..errr.. lead?

Noooo, the problem with messiahs is that they almost always end up dead. I'd try to be more like Sawyer and remain aloof from the island's intrigue as much as possible (but still manage to get wrapped up in it inadvertently.

Would you rather be rescued like the Oceanic 6 or stay on the island and possibly go as crazy as Rousseau?

i think that we saw jin being alive in that one episode where sun is in labor and it looks like jin is coming to see her but ends up somewhere else this episode was way before the finale

yeah, except at the end of the episode where it was revealed that the Jin-trying-to-get-a-panda scene was a flashback and Sun's giving birth was a flashforward, which was revealed when Sun and Hurley went to visit Jin's grave with the baby.

i cant wait for the next lost, you know they make these finales so exciting and then you get excitied and you cant wait for the next Lost to come. i used to hate lost when it first aired. i watched one episode with the polar bear on the island and i was hooked just like that.

yeah that was the scene i didnt really get

have long conversation with ppl, i mean i could just sit there and pretend i care

Lost has what 3 more seasons? well i hope that most of the unanswered questions will be answered but there is still the possiblity of more questions to be answered so we will have to see what will happen, i still wonder about the black smoke and i think its tied into jacob somehow

face the smoke

Enjoy.. I sure did. One of the better lost videos put to music that i have seen!

Nice. That song is waaaaay too easy to get stuck in my head.

I was looking for a different Lost vid that I saw last year as an ad for the Season 3 finale but came across this vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p11pPb...

I can't believe I'd never seen that! I love Portishead! I love beautiful people dancing! I love Locke and Walt as the mad conductors! A possible bit of foreshadowing?

Ahhh... Here's the video I was looking for:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha_bYt...
I remember it being longer though, more like this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_bGW_...

yeah, Ive seen the mad conductor one.. I really like that one!

And thanks for posting the other ones too... I hadnt seen them yet. That song is interesting. Was it written for the show? "they were here first" "what the hell is going on"?? very very fitting lyrics!

No, the other song is "Hide & Seek" by Imogen Heap. It matches freakishly well with the show though, which is what floored me when I first saw it.

Those were great! I wish I had more time to surf the net, and that's why is so great to be part of this comunity!

Watching the video I realized why Ben was wearing that big jacket in the middle of the desert ... I can't believe I missed that he got there when the island got moved the first time I watched it!

Ive noticed that lately, with the flashfowards, they are putting things out there way out of time frame.... the season 3 finale was 3 years in the future..... as we see when we revisited it for the season 4 finale.. and found locke to be in the coffin.
Then we get flashfowards that are only a few months in the future... they are all out of sequence, which make it hard to create a time table....
The Ben-in-Tunsia thing lining up with the wheel, that was a cool thing to see... it gives you a bit better perspective. That is why he seemed to unsure of the day and year....

I think that is part of the appeal of the show for me, the challenge to see past the surface.

I loved that dance video, creepy but beautiful.

Sun looked so beautiful and danced so gracefully. It was nice! Hey what about that split second where they hinted a love triangle between Michael and Sun?

Yes, that was really interesting......I loved the conductor thing going on with both Locke and Walt, does that mean anything about Locke being the leader of the others? And is Walt helping him at all?

One of the neat things about Lost is that they've always hinted at various directions the story could go, but for one reason or another it didn't. I remember in the earlier seasons there was a bit of sexual tension between Michael and Sun, before Sun and Jin reconciled and she found out she was pregnant (and before Michael got all trigger-happy on Anna Lucia). Like the Paolo and Nikki storyline that never panned out, the writers like to experiment and leave open different paths that the story could go down. One thing I'd be interested in looking at when we rewatch the series would be which storylines did they set up but not go through with? I know that Mr. Echo seemed like he was being built up, until the smoke monster left pieces of him all over the jungle.

Logan I have heard that Anna Lucia's role was much bigger but was axed and combined with other women in the show because of the legal problems the actress was facing in Hawaii.

Lorena, I'd heard the same thing. Which makes sense, because you don't bring an actress as famous as Michelle Rodriguez into a show and then just kill her off after a few episodes without sufficient cause. I guess that's a good ad against drunk driving: "Don't drive drunk or we'll kill off an important character."

I was so mad at her because I think she is good at what she does, but I have not seen her in anything for so long because of her attitude problem and her drinking ... tsk tsk!

I was sad to see Hurley's girlfriend go as well, her name scapes me now. I felt that part of the story line could have been explored a little further given that even though she was a Psyquiatrist she was a patient along with Hurley.

that really pisses me off, that whole killing Libby off before we find out anything about her. We know she was in the nute house with Hurley, and that she gave the boat to Desmond that he ran the race with ala crashed to the island on.... and then, Bamm.. dead. However I hear that they are planning to tell her backstory thru another characters flashbacks. One never knows tho with this show!

I loved Libby, I didn't even get to see her being killed off! I hate how they ditch story lines, but if they weren't so flexible, Ben wouldn't have been so involved! And I couldn't live without Ben! Oh well, I guess I'll have to live.

Thats true. I thought i had heard that Emerson wasnt supposed to be a big part of the show.. but i guess we fans had a little part in expanding his role.....

True, I didn't like him at first, thought he was so creepy, but I've grown to love him and his evil ways, thank god he's still here!

Really? I thought the show was pretty much devised from the beggining, I did hear they added one extra season for contract purposes but I would have thought Ben was a biggie since from the get go ... interesting.

Lorena, I wouldnt put too much wieght into what we hear tho.... who knows how much is trashy rumor and how much is true?!

Make out with Ben for sure :)
