Here's what I'm hoping *isn't* going to happen.
By being "Lost in Time" (haha, that's clever) the survivors and their actions create the whole "society" of Others/Dharma and for all the mysterious leftovers on the island (the old dead couple from Season 1 for example). Because that would make me want to choke a bitch.
Who was with the lady at the end? Wasn't she the weird old lady from Desmond's time-travelling episodes where she tells him he can't fuck with time?

I'm pretty sure that's exactly where they're going with it. I took it as a forgone conclusion that Bernard and Rose will be the dead couple in the cave once the time jumping started happening. |

Yep it's all going to be about time travel, sadly. It still doesn't explain a freaky ass smoke monster.
Remember when "what's that roar" was the biggest question on this show?

Zoological experiments being done on the island. They bought some bears over.
Every non-watcher I talk to always asks about the polar bears. I can't understand why that's such a sticking point with so many people, neither the mystery nor the answer really seemed important to me.

The polar bears were there to turn the donkey wheel that Ben turned to move the island as evidenced by the skeleton w/ the Dharma collar found in Tunisia (where Ben popped out after he turned the wheel in the ICY cave). I love this freaking show. These guys have managed to get 7 seasons of the most geeky sci-fi on network television without large swaths of the viewing public realizing it. Yogurt got hit with a flaming arrow! Oh, and that would be Frogurt, not this guy:  |

Frogurt has been around. He tried to help Bernard build the SOS sign and (in one of the webisodes) had a tussle with Hurley over Libby. He was in the Zodiac with Faraday when the island jumped. Definitely a minor character.

So can we call the red-shirts on LOST "Frogurts" now?

He's a little higher in profile than a Sock, which is what the producers call the actors whose sole purpose is to be background and die. They've killed most of those off by now anyways.

The creators have said they're going to explain the smoke monster. The creators say a lot of things. I really liked the first series of "Lost". But somewhere in the heaping mystery upon mystery, everything of note happening in the last five minute of each show, every series introducing a new group of people (so we could go through their stories too) and major characters acting like retards just to keep the plot moving (see: Why Isn't Linus Dead?), I gave up. I'm waiting for the end so someone can distil everything into one pithy line that explains things (e.g. "It was Laura Palmer's dad"). |

Didn't the creators also say the island had nothing to do with time travel?

I watched two episodes of Lost and realized that there was no big plan. Television exists to sell advertising, so the point is to keep folks tuning in all the way through a commercial break and, ideally, all the way through the week until the next episode. A continuing plot provides this sort of continuity by promising that questions asked in one episode will be answered in another. It's why soap operas have such cultic followings. The "genius" of Lost is in removing the plot in order to streamline the posing and answering of questions. Characters do not grow and develop because that might actually make things resolve... which would stop the money.
Lost made me feel used rather than entertained. I get my amusement listening in on discussions at work... and they summarize entire story arcs in less than a minute. Plus there are no commercials.

I don't remember that, but I do remember them saying "No, they're not dead and it's not Purgatory," which was a prevalent theory the first year and a half.

This was certainly the case in season 3 and I nearly stopped watching myself. When ratings were plummeting and the show looked like it was going to be canceled the creators wrangled out a 2 year contract in which to wrap things up. Since that point the show's gotten better, questions have been resolved and things have gotten considerably better because there WILL be an ending point. |

I only got into Lost when I could watch every episode immediately. I can see the rage that would happen having to wait a week for the next.
Didn't the series get renewed for an other 2 years? Although I think it's great, I was kind of disappointed to hear that... Should leave on a high note.

I watched my first episode since 1st season the other night and I was entertained. They had a show that caught folks like me up in the plot beforehand, a good move. The show format was much better (i.e. linear narrative more or less) instead of the old 5min setup, 40min flashback, 5min shocking ending.
So kudos to them for turning the show around, but I am not sure I am going to get back on the bandwagon.

I'm confused about something.
If the whole island and everyone on it is NOT jumping in time and space, but only the 815 survivors...
Why did the island appear to disappear from the helo's view? Wouldn't have just the 815's on the the island vanished?
If the island did move in space, but the Others did not move in time/space, are they now treading water?

That's what I was bitching about. It doesn't make sense. Richard isn't threading water so I guess the rest of the Others aren't either. I guess they have protection as natives. Of course that doesn't explain Juliet who has been stuck on the island 3+ years.

They said they were outside of the bubble. They were to far, and outside " the shield" to be taken with the island and the others. |

I believe it was explaned as that the island did move but that the people are "skipping" along the time continuum. So the island is like the record and the people are the needle.

Tonight's episode was greatness. It explained a couple of things I was curious about in the whole Locke/Alpert relationship.
