    <div class="quote_poster">Run BJM Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">The wrath or hand of God? Could support the theory (that I subscribe to) that they're in purgatory since he died soon after he talked to the priest and didn't ask for forgiveness. Also Jack is now tempted to kill the guy with the tumor even though hes a doctor and although I'm not positive I'm sure a part of their oath is to vow to make their best effort to save anyone they can.</div>

    The makers of Lost have denied this theory as well as several others (such as that this is all a dream, it is a reality television show with unwilling participants, and that it is alien related. Here is an article about it:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">At the heart of the series is a complex and cryptic storyline which spawns numerous unresolved questions. Encouraged by Lost's writers and stars, who often interact with fans online, viewers and TV critics alike have taken to rampant theorization in an attempt to unravel the mysteries. Theories mainly concern the nature of the island, the origins of the "monster" and the "Others", the meaning of the numbers, and the reasons for both the crash and the survival of some passengers.

    Several of the more common fan theories have been discussed and rejected by the show's creators, the most common being that the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 are dead or in purgatory. This was specifically denied by J.J. Abrams and was also proven to be wrong by the second season's finale. The makers of the show have also discredited theories such as that the survivors will experience, or have experienced, time travel, which was dismissed by Damon Lindelof. Likewise, speculation that spaceships or aliens influence the events on the island, or that everything seen is a fictional reality taking place in someone's mind, has also been rejected by Lindelof.</div>

    He didn't die yet.

    Actually I would be pretty pissed if they killed Locke off. He isn't my favorite character but he brings a lot of things to the plot of Lost and him dieing would be a mistake. I consider him one of the main characters, and if they decide they want to kill someone off it should be someone like Jin or Sun. Unlike Locke, they don't bring much to the show, and they are just simply not as important as John.

    It does seem like he will die but I am defiantely not for it at all.

    I think Jack, Locke, Kate, and Sawyer are all safe from getting killed off. Too many people like them and many of the main plot lines run through these four characters while people like Hurley, Jin, Sun, or Claire are of little significance.

    They do this on purpose. At the moment of high suspense they cut the show out, until Feb.[​IMG] How lame is that?

    I'm bumping this because a ton of **** has happened and the season finale is next week.

    What the hell is up with this Jacob guy? He's invisible, higher ranking than Ben, and wants Locke to help him? Is it just me or is the storyline getting borderline pathetic. Also, I can't believe Locke got shot. He better be alright because he is one of my favorite characters. LOST just a new deal for three more seasons, 16 episodes per season. My question is, are they going to keep introducing more and more questions (such as Jacob, parachuting lady, etc.) or are they going to start answering some stuff that everyone wants to know about (the numbers, the monster, random polar bears, Walt and Michael, etc.)? Hopefully it's the latter because I'm sick of not understanding anything and having even more things that don't make sense piling up.

    They're going to keep on feeding us this "crap" until the final episode of Lost, where they will explain everything in 45 mins. They have sucked us into the show, and they'll make sure we stay till the end of it.


    I mean we're in season three, and they still haven't explained season one to the full extent.

    Well some questions are actually being answered (the darma initiuative invading the natives of the island.....I think the ghost of the island haunt those who invade it)...my guess is Walt and Michael won't be back until next season....one of the common trends among all the characters is their bad relationships with their parents......I can't wait until next Wednesday...Lost = must see t.v.

    LOST is definitely must see TV because if you miss one episode, you miss a lot.

    I just wish I still looked forward to watching it (rather than feeling obligated) like I used too.

    That's what makes it so good. Because in season four they can backtrack to season one and still make it relevant. It has a storyline, but a very flexible one that ties in everything. Explaining everything suddenly would be pointless and would take out all the anticipation that the fanbase has built up and made it such a hit show. I don't know about you but when they revealed that Jack's dad was also Claire's dad this season even though it was known way back when by fans was a great moment. It's the ability to fill in a story anywhere, anytime that makes the shoe exciting. Anything can be added on anytime and still make sense.

    I've heard this show is scheduled to end in 2010.

    "Seasons four, five, and six will be 16 episodes each, with the series finale airing in 2010. Lost premiered on September 22, 2004, and is currently winding down its third season."

    Yup, I mentioned that early in this thread. I'm hoping the last season is amazing, answering all of our questions and shocking everyone with the secrets of the island. I really hope the writers have everything all planned out and I'm pumped for the next couple of seasons.
