Well, thanks for that, Jeff Kelly. I was actually just wondering if it was coming back or gone for good. I still have questions!

I knew that it was ending soon but I was hoping they'd follow through and tie up some of the millions of loose ends. I'm sure they'll just let some slide due to the sheer number of plots they left lying around. Most would be nice, though.

I think focusing on tying everything up is the plan. No more flash backs/forwards for this season too so they can just focus on the main stories. |

So do you think they slowly answer all of our questions throughout the season, or just in the last episode?
I think they come up with so many more questions that the finale episode is just a Q & A with all the characters.

Well, they actually did a decent job last season of tying off plots or revisit old ones with new info. They've set themselves up in a good position to answer most of the questions while still bringing up some new stuff for the last season. Hopefully they don't do the Battlestar thing and just run towards the last episode without bothering to tie many things up, then try to (poorly) do it all in the series final.

Not enough time for Q&A, i predict just pure scrolling text... will revolutionize series finales.  Seriously though, I don't believe they can "tie-off" all the dangling loops because they aren't writing the same story in 2010 that they started with in 2004. This is new TV... the plot is written in response to audience feedback via the internet; plot twists do not further the story towards a conclusion, they _are_ the story. |

Me and the woman are rewatching the whole series (or as much as we can) until Lost comes back. Halfway through Season 1 now and I like picking up a lot of the little things along the way.

I just started rewatching as well, since my girlfriend has never seen it and wouldn't watch it til there was an end in sight.

I'll probably just read some summaries before season 6 starts to refresh me on things. Then I'll do the grand re-watch after I buy the entire series on BluRay once its out.

One thing we noticed is when Jack started seeing his father, 4-5 episodes , we thought we saw him not wearing any shoes. I don't know if that was significant at all. I do recall something about shoes last season, but wasn't it just jack taking something of his father's and put them on the plane to match the last time to get back to the island?

Heh, I just that this was released:  Which of course reminded me of this:  Guess all my favorite TV shows are destined to do a Last Supper promo for the final season. |

I just finished watching the first five seasons. My synopsis. It's a great sci-fi/mystery/paranormal show that has horrid romance plots thrown in.

Bad CGI.
The one thing that bothered me is Libby. She was in the crazy house with Hurley and they never explained that. She died like 3-4 episodes after they showed her in that episode.

She had to leave the show for external reasons I think, so they had to just end her storyline. Maybe they'll revisit it, but I think thats just a dead end plot line they had to stop. Which is good, because I fucking hated that character and her attempted romance with Hurley (who IS an awesome character).
I don't think many of the romance plots are bad. Actually, I think the only one thats gotten annoying is the Jack/Kate/Sawyer triangle, but if they can resist bringing that back up again in the final season, should be fine.

Carlton Cuse has specifically said Libby is in this last season.

I fear with Juliet dead, we are in for a final season of more miserable jack/kate/sawyer triangle. I've got to watch the tail end of S5 again before S6 starts up, so I remember where exactly we are in all the craziness. |

Error 404: Title not found.

I keep wondering if that now they altered things with the bomb, if they don't actually land in LA instead of crashing on the island. But then I think, is there a story to develop there? Do they bring back all the characters that died? Do they all somehow remember each other and try to get back to the island again?

I don't think the bomb can't really reset anything as it was already built into the timeline. It is clearly the "incident" that has been referred to since Season 2.

I don't think that it's "it was meant to be" so much as "it needs to be". People have a choice in it the matter, it's just that they choose/are manipulated into a course of events.
Ms. Hawking knew she was going to kill her son but sent him there anyway, because she thought it was important.
Abaddon was sent to Locke to motivate him to get on the airplane, because Widmore thought it was important.
Libby was seen in flashbacks for Michael, Hugo, and Desmond. She even gave Desmond the boat that gets him to the island. For whatever reason, she's manipulating events and watching over people to to ensure everyone gets to where they need to be.
If it was pre-destined - like Charlie dying - the universe would have just found a way to get them all there, and it wouldn't have let 7 of them escape off. Who thinks they needs to be on the Island and why really seem like the questions.

That's actually pretty awesome. If this were Heroes I'd follow that by saying "...and therefore will not happen."  |

So, while watching the last few episodes of S5 (in the middle of Follow the Leader now), a thought crossed my mind.
(probably excessive to spoiler, but just in case)

Almost finished with Season 3 rewatching. I really angry that I don't have much of season 5 fresh in my head. Hopefully I'll be able to remember most of it... I think I can.
The small details of the Locke/Jacob/Other Guy plot is fuzzy in my head.
