I've also felt it had something do to with Hurley since his institution flashback. But I just can't see the series the ending so quickly. I think if they just actually thought ahead and wrote better it would be okay. Hey! Maybe they should get fpw to help write Big Grin He's good at that.

It will be really lame if the whole thing is in Hurley's head.

I almost posted the same exact thing myself.

Can't see it happening.

I agree that to have the entire series be a figment of Hurley's imagination would be beneath the writers and insulting to the viewers. That scenario has already been used in television...waking up as if from a dream and finding the entire series never really happened.

I think Desmond and his girlfriend, and most importantly, her father, are the key. Her father either owns Dharma or is heavily involved in it. The guys in the frozen wastelands who were listening for an electromagnetic anomaly have to come into play. They, themselves, may not appear again, but they alerted Penelope, Desmond's girlfriend, and that means something. With all her money, she'll do whatever she can to find Desmond. So, we shall see.

Juliet is a liar. When Kate asks her how they wound up handcuffed together in the jungle, Juliet responds, “Ben likes mind games.” When the monster came as Kate and Juliet were fighting, Juliet acted as if she'd never seen the thing before, and claims twice that she doesn’t know anything about it. A little later, she produces a key to unlock the handcuffs and turn off the fence telling Kate, “we don’t know what it is, but we know it doesn’t like our fences.”

So Juliet lies like a rug, and Ben has set the whole exodus thing up to manipulate someone into doing something that he wants. That’s exactly what he said to Juliet when Pablo overheard them while he was in the bathroom of the other hatch. Ben and Juliet were watching the TV screens. Juliet asked Ben how he was going to get Jack to do the surgery. Ben said, the same way I get anyone to do what I want…I find out what is dearest to them and I use it to manipulate them. I’m not exactly sure of the how’s and why’s and what’s of this particular manipulation, but Ben is behind it.

I don’t have a good answer as to why the beach party folks aren’t using the compound, other than fear of the others coming back.

I really enjoy this series, in spite of its chronic mystery, which can be a drag after a while. To keep people interested, you’ve got to supply some answers to the gazillion questions posed. In the meantime, I’m enjoying what I don’t understand in the world of not knowing what’s going on.

I have also been waiting for that last scene in season two to bear fruit, so to speak. I did not make the connection that the woman was Penelope. Interesting. I have been waiting to see who Eyepatch Guy was referring to when he commented that the leader of the Others was a great man and when someone said "Ben?" Eyepatch Guy looked funny and said nothing. Eyepatch Guy also mentioned a struggle between the Others and the Dharma people so I am not sure who the Others actually are. There seems to be extensive contact with the outside world, more than just trips in a submarine, since the Others have so much information about the islanders. Layers and layers.

Um, I hate to be a broken record about this but... Jack and Kate and Sayid and Juliet were leaving the compound at the end of the episode to return to the beach. We don't know what their plans are about the compound. Do we?

I was going to post this as well. It would be equally lame.

Definitely. She had that familiar picture of herself and Desmond on her bureau next to the phone she answered when the electromagnetic-anamoly-watching-guys phoned her in the middle of the night.

Indeed, there seems to be a GREAT power behind Dharma, even if it's only a lot of money. I suspect, strongly, that it is Penelope's father. What Dharma is really about, though, we don't know.

No, we don't know their plans. We pretty much don't know anything for sure, except that it is an island of mysteries and unanswered questions. That's for sure. Big Grin

It was funny on Newhart, though. Wink

It was hilarious on Newhart. I'll never forget that episode.

But to do it again on a show like LOST would be criminal and not worthy of the writers.

Without you guys, I wouldn't know ANYTHING about what is going on.
