Maureen "Mo" Ryan, the tv critic for the Chicago Tribune, posted a blog of
her conversation with tv critics Alan Sepinwall and James Pozniewak about tv
and how it started out with LOST and including how it should end:

http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2009/12/three-critics-talking-tv-part-1-lets-get-lost.html

I agree with Sep that they best not [muck] with Desmond, Penny and their
baby Charlie (altho I could accept him ending up back in time and turning
out to be a rocker, which would explain a lot).

The show has already done a request of mine, that Rose and Bernard survive.

The other of my requirements on how the final season should go:
--Explain the Island
--Explain who or what is Jacob
--Explain who or what is anti-Jacob (Titus Welliver)
--Explain Smokey (if it's not nanobots, I'm still say "enhanced" spores)

What if you wind up with not just one, but two of some of those
characters?

> The show has already done a request of mine, that Rose and Bernard survive.

Are you sure Rose did? What if it's not the same Rose?

Care to make a money bet on that? Even a little one? I'll give
considerable odds against its being either of those things. How about
my $50 against your $10?

Or how about a 1:1 bet on my explanation: dumb particles manipulated
by a field produced by buried cables & coils? Excluding the Monster
encountered by Benry under Temple, though; that's a different one, but
still not your kind.

Explain the numbers
Explain Mr. Hanso

Its tough to figure out how the show will end as it appears the nuke allowed
the plane to land OR the nuke went off and that's why we have a concrete
bunker in which case nothing happened or there is an alternate timeline
albeit just slightly off.

Im still going with the Claire and baby being the only survivors and i want
a prize if im right.

I would consider Lost a waste of 7 years if it all came down to
alternate (ie multiple) reality. Thats lazy uncreative writing IMO.
Having the nuke change everything would be fine, especially if as the
plane landed in LA, Jack et al had some memory of what had happened
and there were subtle hints. T`he last scene could be Hugo stopping
at a convenience store buying a lottery ticket from Ben.

Wasn't there some article posted here where one of the writers was saying
that some things will be left as mysterious? The point being that there are
some questions that they don't ever intend answering.

I suspect that we will never find out exactly how the island works, and that
the nuke explosion is the sort of device to get our Losties tied to the
island in some way, and not the reason for the islands behavior. The arcs of
the original characters will resolve, but the island and its people will
continue. One or more of our original losties will remain, some die, the
rest go back to normal life. Or something a bit like that.

I am deeply cynical about this show so the only fair thing for me to do is
to have no expectations or requirements what so ever. I also think its is
right to keep some things mysterious, like the hows and whys about the
island its self. Boring, but right.

Ah, one thing. I would like the ending to be original and shocking.
Something that even if you have problems with the show, you will still be
blown away.

I think Lost should end the same way that Alias died. With
fans bailing faster than rats on a sinking ship.

With all the main characters staring out to sea, watching the
beginnings of a beautiful sunset from the island....when suddenly
there is a high-pitched noise and crackles of lightening. All the
cast is stunned and falls down on the sand. Suddenly, a blue swirly
thing is visible on the horizon and when it dissipates there sits an
aircraft carrier.

Yes, I advocate staunchly for the Final Countdown ending.

Last thing I read said the final season would answer ALL the fans questions
... which of course is impossible since some people are still wanting to
know why there was one less grain of sand on the beach in episode 3-4 than
in episode 3-5. :-\

The "nuke" is not a nuke. They'll show us the plane landing in LA,
but that's not an alternate reality; they'll just be showing us what
really happened. Almost all of what they showed us also really
happened, but was not what you thought it was, nor did it occur in the
order you thought it did. When the plane landed in LA, Jack won't
have a MEMORY of the other things, because they hadn't happened yet,
but he did have PLANS about them.

What they should do is:

- then the final "episode" is just the dying Pac Man sound

Yes - he is the fool. He not only wants to bet someone. It seems like

Not him alone... Just in general. Why would anyone make bets with

And what are you going to do with an IP address if someone fails to
pay up? I am completely anonymous. Even if you found out who lives at
the house that IP is assigned to, you wouldn't be able to prove it was
me on there.

Nice try in proving a point though - but I'd say you failed.

Not sure how showing an IP address helps against welchers...

[1] And who kinda looks like Juliet

[2] Who kinda looks like Boone

[3] Wno looks a little like Sayyid

[4] Who kinda of looks like Kate

[5] Who kinda looks like Charlie.

These five and the skizzillion Losties are rescued by an ethnically
diverse group of superpowered beings whose mission was to find these
five beings, their teammates. The Losties are dropped off in L.A.,
where the red-haired gal flicks her hands, she and her teammates
blinking out of existence, but not before a guy with metal claws says,
"Sorry, wrong universe."

FL, do you think I'd go up to the Bronx to collect? Or perhaps with

could get you to pay for me?

And what's to assure you that I'd even pay? I could be a dick who

you do about it?

You giving me any amount of information will not change the simple

They're just guys. Either of them may, however, be more than one

You just have to approach that one with the right attitude. For
instance, hum "Danger Zone" when you see Maverick, Goose and the guy
in the red shirt jump out of the shuttle to land on the drill head.
Ignore the fact that they have no plan for what to do when they get
there, just like when they flew upside down over the MiG-28.

The Lost pilot aired on September 22, 2004.

This is an interview Abrams did in November of the same year. For an
ardent Lost fan, this is a must hear.
And the 'science fiction' issue is addressed.

Nope. You'll watch the second-to-last episode which will end saying "Tune in

minutes before the final episode is due to start, the world will explode.

No, only you and a few other dummies do, because you have A.D.D. and
can't actually understand words written on a page to form a sentence.

Also, I think you mean "explanations", not "exclaimations" (sic).

LOL, That explains a lot. Who was it, Rodney Carrington, that said if men
had real breasts, we would never leave home....

Locke wakes up.

It was all his dream of an adventure, an extension of his personality.
He struggles to get into his wheel chair and begin another day....

Or have flashbulbs going off at the end, and it is Locke on a book
tour promoting his novel that made him famous.

Well, in the episode in which Kate is crawling through the shaft of
the hatch, we see Kate's boobs, and they at least *seem* big.

Or maybe Kate had a push-up bra.

Who knows?

Just make sure we don't have to see Hurley's boobs. :)

That reminds me of the old George Carlin joke. He sees his dog
licking himself and thinks, "Hey, if I could do that I'd never leave
home!" ;-)

Which in turn reminds me of a "Family Guy" episode:

[Stewie is resting while Brian is licking his crotch]
Stewie Griffin: Urgh, what the hell do you think you are doing?
Brian Griffin: I'm cleaning myself.
Stewie Griffin: You were clean fifteen minutes ago; now you're just on
vacation!

No, the argument was there in plain sight and perfectly valid. I just
added the ad hominem for flavor.

Here, I'll separate them so even a stupid jackass can understand it.

Argument: The producers never said what you claim they are saying,
therefore it's pointless to hold their feet to the fire for not
adhering to something they never said.

Ad Hominem: You're a retard.

Better?

I haven't seen the episode, but if she was crawling it was probably
more like a "hang-down" bra made of gravity.
