"Lost Season 6 Discussion Thread"

This thread is likely to contain spoilers relating to US airings of the show (aired 3 days before UK)

So the final season is upon us, with promises of all the questions from the previous 5 seasons to be answered over the next 18 episodes, I for one am greatly looking forward to what's to come.

This past week we had the 2 part season opener 'LA X I & II' and, in my opinion at least, all the hype for this season was justified. Like everyone else I had heard the rumours of cast members returning and was pleased to see how it was done by playing on the whole 'did the bomb go off or didn't it'. I'll be interested to see where they take the 'off-island' stuff over the next few episodes, it seems obvious to me that all the characters will begin interacting with each other on some level after landing in LA, maybe adding fuel to the 'destiny/fate' themes that have been knocked about in previous series. The differences of the plane to the crashed one are also interesting, no Shannon, no coffin and an additional passenger in Desmond...

On the island, it was good to finally see The Temple and the 'fountain' which healed Ben all those years ago. It's interesting to note that the water had 'changed' since Jacob died suggesting the island might now be under the control of Jacobs Rival. I have a feeling that note that was in the ankh says more than the Japanese bloke and the hippy let on... With regards to Sayid, do you think he's really alive (after everyone agreeing he was dead) or is he likely to be a 'vessel' for Jacob in the same way Locke is for JR/Man in Black/Smokie? The only argument against this is that Locke's body is still dead and separate whereas Sayid's isn't.

Also a hint at Richards origins from JR, "nice to see you out of those chains". Does that mean Richard was on the Black Rock? Or was he a slave or imprisoned for something else. I think the Black Rock is more likely based upon the start of the Season 5 finale but it's another 'wait and see' situation that I'm sure will be answered over the next 3 months.

Looking forward to next Friday!

Excellent.

Ha, saw that this morning. This is still my favourite though

So many of my 'friends' have been complaining that they were correct when they said that the Losties were dead all along, since season 1. It's taken every ounce of my restraint to not smack them across the back of their head and berate them until my throat got sore! :@

Apparently ABC/SKY aired the wrong ending for Lost. It should actually have been this: http://i.imgur.com/wtzBE.gif

That's not his name, it's actually Samuel. It means man of god in Hebrew.

Makes sense when you think about who named him.

It was confirmed when ABC accidentally wrote his name in the description of a trailer on their official Lost channel. It was removed about 10 minutes later. Oops.

I fully agree with Alfoncy, it was a great ending. With no Michael, Walt, Eko, Miles or Naomi in the church at the end, something seems up.... Rose and Sayid were ok though as they in a relationship with a whitey.

Whilst not everything was answered I feel enough was to give a satisfied conclusion. The producers have always said fans who were looking for a full-on sci-fi ending would be disappointed, the ending of Lost was (mainly) about concluding the character stories.

Didn't we work this out at the end of last series? Esau was always the brother of Jacob, biblically, and this became more apparent as the series progressed.

Awesome ending for an awesome show :)

LOL, no Michael? Or Eko?

Been googling around folks, apparently a lot of the mysteries on the Island get revealed in the season 6 box set. One of which has leaked onto the interwebs: the name of the man in black.

I kind of feel out of lost a few seasons back, i am curious about what happened in the end, so below is a brief description of what i remember and where i was, if someone could chuck me a bit of info about how it ended i would appreciate it

The biggest, longest dues ex machina I've ever seen.

Touching, but underwhelming to say the least. I can think of 5 deep mysteries left totally untouched off the top of my head.
