Paul R Wrote:Maggers, what was your question, if you don't mind me asking?

Maggers Wrote:I asked if Claire's low tech message to the outside world via carrier pigeon, aka the sea birds who landed on the Island, would ever be received and acted on.

I've been fascinated by that episode, called "Par Avion." If that message was found, the Oceanic 6 would be busted, big time. I'd love to see that.

I felt that to devote nearly an entire episode to Claire's humble but creative attempt to get them rescued was important. Granted, that episode also was written to set up the denouement to Charlie's unique relationship with Desmond. But the bird message is so simple in its ability to go undetected by Ben or all the other powerful people who want to keep that Island and the fate of the survivors from the world.

Also, if something awful happens to Claire, and I suspect it will, then to have her message received would be particularly poignant and fitting.

But I know, I know, the LOST writers love to leave questions unanswered and plot lines hanging. Claire's bird message may just be another in a long list.

That reminds me of an Andy Kaufman video I sent to Sorrel yesterday. Senseless repetition for comedic effect.

So it's a three hour finale, but split over 2 weeks? That's robbing Peter to pay Paul, isn't it? Why not just say there'll be a 2 week break before the two hour finale?

Idiots, to think that I trusted them.

And making Lost fans crazy.
