So changing gears, what musical score is everyone's fav?
One of my favorites is There's no place like home
Really beautiful

Life and Death is amazing. I agree. Life & Death, Oceanic 815 for me. And one of the Locke ones. I just don't know the name...I remember it was in his first centric episode 1x04, at the end of the episode. I feel sad for some reason. :(
[QUOTE="sammyjenkis898"]What is the consensus on Across the Sea here? I know it's pretty much disliked/hated by critics. I know Rotten Tomatoes didn't like it. Just curious what most people on here think of it. I was slightly disappointed with the episode. I expected more answers to be thrown at me, but it was still good nonetheless. I think they dragged the child scenes for too long.

I'm sad too!

That was my problem with the episode....the child actors kind of ruined it for me. That and I wanted to see the statue again.
[QUOTE="bmaninc"]Never again (or not soon) will a show engage the audience as Lost has.sammyjenkis898
That's an awfully bold statement. How did you come to that conclusion? I'm speaking personally. I don't usually get engaged by shows like this. I mean, Mad Men, the Sopranos, they were (and are) great shows, but I'm not constantly guessing what certain things mean, why certain things are happening. Are they entertaining? Absolutely! Do they engage me as much as Lost? No, not even close.

I guess I'll post on this board as well. On Sunday, I'll be using my usual chat room (www.xat.com/brennan, which I usually use every Sunday in the NFL season for chat) during the finale for people to talk about it. Anyone is welcome. For the finale, I have a couple pressing questions I want answered specifically. First, the egyptian angle, the statue, the hieroglyphics. Second, the food drops from Dharma. Whats up with that?

The food drops are easy: Mikhael probablty communicated with outside DHARMA folk and kept the drops going, while impersonating DHARMA members so not to arouse suspician. Many cultures were probablty brought to the island, including Egyptians or they may have been there before Jacob. I think I read that the Across the Sea story took place around 43 BC. Found that on DarkUFO.

Good luck with those. They don't seem like something at the top of the writers' priority lists with just 2 and a half hours left. :P
I'm guessing, and seriously this only a guess, but I think the writers at this point want you to take a leap of faith that the Egyptian angle is from visitors to the island form ages ago, and needs no real explanation.
The food drops, I seriously doubt we'll hear anything about that, but i would love it if they did explain it

Yeah, I don't buy that (the food drop). Then again, a lot of the "answers" they've been giving us haven't been logical (boat crashing on the island is the worst).

It doesn't seem that easy to me. Why not? Food was dropped, then the communcaition center exploded.

Also, regarding Mikhael, wouldn't the Dharma folk that hes talking to actually expect RESULTS from the experiments on the island? Unless thats why Ben started doing experiments. Unexplained things include why Ben has all this money all of a sudden, why the Dharma people in Ann Arbor aren't pissed that their sub is stolen...

You buy that a boat was carried extremely high from a wave (this I can buy), heading straight toward the statue, thus destroying the statue. Okay, now that I don't buy at all. A boat was able to destroy the statue? I mean, really? What is this statue made of eggs? Okay, let's just ignore that for now. After this boat destroys the entire statue, it somehow still has the momentum to be carried half-way into island. That must have been some wave. Oh, and the people on board of the boat survived? Ah, yes.. that makes sense.

I was expecting a logical answer for this - one that made sense. I wasn't expecting an answer that is just filled with idiotic writing.

Good luck with those. They don't seem like something at the top of the writers' priority lists with just 2 and a half hours left. :P
And the ghostly crap that happened in that small shelter when Ben was introducing Locke to "Jacob"... I swear if that's not answered, I'm gonna punch them writers so hard it send em to an alternate dimension.
So is anyone watching the finals with some friends? I am attending a get together with some of my friends who are in high school who watch the show. So I probably wont be on here... Idk

And for reasons like this I've been setting my expectations pretty low over the last few weeks. :P Otherwise I know I'd be sitting there after the finale thinking "Wait...there's gotta be more, right?"

Wouldn't want to watch it with alot of people. Ruins the moment. I want to cry alone :P
I really enjoyed Season 6 so far. I only started watching the show on April 10, though, and caught up to watch it live starting with The Candidate. Great episode to begin on.bmaninc
I watched Season 1 to Season 6 Epi 11 "Happily ever After" in 2 weeks :P Started March 21 and finished around April 6-7 ( was out of town from April 1-5). I'm not proud of my long stints in front of the tele but I can say it was very satisfying :D. A friend and Gamepsot user lent me Seasons 1-5 and dl'd the rest, the Bluray boxset will be mine when it comes out. These guys deserve my money for future projects.
It does what? I mean, I just don't understand how anyone could accept that as a plausible answer.
Because its all we have. You can be mad, or you can deal with it. This is why I was disappointed with the some of this season. But then I just let it go and figured "its all we have." Feel much better! ;)
Because its all we have. You can be mad, or you can deal with it.bmaninc
I realize it's all we have, that doesn't mean I have to "buy it."
I'm not mad. It wasn't a huge question I was wanting answered. I'm just saying it was an idiotic explanation.
I'm not sure how that's any sillier than "Well there's a yellow light in the middle of the island and it's magic"
Well what exactly did you expect? An island that was moving through time. An island that had a smoke monster on it. An island that had a hatch with a computer in which you typed in the same numbers every 108 minutes. Not trying to sound rude. But Lost has had some random things through out the the six seasons.
[QUOTE="Chiddaling"][QUOTE="Travo_basic"] Wow! That must've been some marathon sessions.Travo_basic
Haha. I watched LOST from Season 1-Season 5 in 20-24 days. Didn't feel long. Just have to watch around 3-5 episodes a day :P We've done the marathons with ALIAS and Battlestar Galactica. It can be fun. Alias was so damn good the first couple of seasons, then it went flying off the rails :(
