Polar bears were used to turn the donkey wheel that moved the island because it was so cold in there. That's why Charlotte found the polarbear skeleton with a Dharma colar in Tunesia, the same place that Ben ended up after he activated the machine. Erm, this is Lost, which started with a bunch of people that planecrashed onto an island? I saw the first few episodes, back then, and it seemed really well made. Now they have polar bears turning tropical islands and machines that catapult people to tunesia? Damn. |

Well, the polar bears turning the wheel part is just a theory... pretty good one though. It actually kinda makes sense, for all its silliness.

Yeah it makes a lot of sense, but why the hell is there a wheel, why does the island need to be moving around, how does it work, where does it go....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH |

I'm still predicting a Ubik ending, or An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge for the more literate among us.  |

I'm still predicting a Ubik ending, or An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge for the more literate among us. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't dare do that at this point. They have already said they are all still alive in interviews. Though funny enough, one of the things that really jumped out to me was a scene when Locke was first looking around the hatch, at the book shelf. Right next to the book he grabbed was "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge". I remember thinking YOU BASTARDS. |

The guy in Owl Creek Bridge was alive - for another 5 seconds or so.
Closing shot of Lost finale - plane breaking up, screams, fade to black. You heard it here first!
Honestly, the real ending I expect is some crazy hodgepodge of shit that makes no sense.

It has to be something with time travel, honestly. It's the only corner they have painted themselves into.

Thats actually what I'm thinking as well. I think theres a fair chance it will be kind of a cross with what Margalis thinks, and through some sort of wierd time/reality altering event at the end everything will be undone like it never happened, thus bringing back everybody who's been killed, and the original plane never crashes. Or something, who knows. But I don't think time travel is a corner they painted themselves into, and I think it would be totally awesome for them to use it.  |

The island exists in a nexus of time and space. It's not quite in this time/space, and as a result time works differently on the island, hence Dan's physics experiments, Nestor Carbonell's lack of aging, etc. The dead people are the energies/souls of the dead that are given form by the island's unique dimensional placement.
Or sum'in.

So, having not watched Lost since half way through season two, it's safe to assume that the stupid show still makes absolutely no fucking sense?

It makes more sense now, but only if you've really been paying attention.

There's still very little that has been clearly explained, but an overall picture and sense of direction is starting to emerge nonetheless.

Just saw the pilot of The Fringe. Should be good. Deals with a scientist that studied fringe sciences until he was locked up. Teleportation and reanimation and whatnot. Also, some sort of rambaldi-esque conspiracy called The Pattern.
Looks like JJ has still got it despite Lost being a pile of shit. Caution: If you don't like lost, you're right. If you like lost, this is Trollbait and you're doing it wrong.

I will see how this develops as well. But another worldwide conspiracy in another of his series? I'm waiting for the unified worldwide conspiracy that ties them all together.

This isn't so much worldwide as it is corporate conspiracy working with dirty science on the fringe of black magic type shit. In other words, it's like modern day lovecraft. Sort of. |

I never heard of Fringe but I want to see it, I think. Did you steal the pilot or is it available somewhere?

Modern day Lovecraft sounds neat. I'll give it a try.

It's not modern day lovecraft it's just obviously inspired a bit by it. Or rather, some of the horrible things this scientist tinkered with is part of it. It's also very updated, cybernetics manufacturer. Also, some political undertones about the state of world affairs, which could enter the boring side if they continue. But theoretically JJ Abrams shouldn't fuck it up. Theoretically. Unfortunately, it's being marketed... very badly.

Life on Mars US Remake isn't bad. Not great. But not bad. First episode is easily found.
In Plain Sight isn't that great.
Season 1 of Secret Diaries of a Call Girl UK wasn't great.
I don't like not having a job.

Its crap in comparison to the UK version. Especially the actor that plays Sam Tyler. You don't give a fuck about him and hope he dies in his coma.

I am still sad no one here is watching The Tudors. Its a really fantastic show. Except for the abysmal acting of the lead character and Anne, sure. We were watching it, but my fucking DVR decided to record over four episodes I had marked Do Not Delete. Also fucked our last two episodes of John Adams, which featured some stellar acting. |
