Which goes back to my earlier question about how they maintain themselves in such an environment.


Just keep in mind that the first 101 days on the island were spread out over the first four seasons. I could probably go into detail and explain the myriad of ways that the Losties had access to food, shelter, fresh water, and even electricity but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone who wants to watch Lost in the future. Suffice to say that after the first week or so nobody was really starving all that much.

I'm sure Allen and Lawson will get a kick out of this. Today ABC told the LA Times that the footage of the 815 wreckage that ran during the end credits was not part of the story and that nobody connected with Lost and/or Bad Robot had anything to do with it. They stated something to the effect that they wanted something soothing for viewers to watch before stations cut to their local news. In any case it backfired and Lost fans everywhere started to hypothesize that flight 815 had crashed with no survivors and that this was actually one of Cuse and Lindelof's infamous "easter eggs". For more than two days now all of the Lost websites have been running hot with various theories and counter-theories explaining what the wreckage really meant. The fact that ABC felt that they had to do a press release about it is testament to how obsessive some Lost fans can be. God only knows that I love the show and the Lost online community in which I've struck up a few friendships but maybe it's time to move on.

A plane wreckage is "soothing?"

I'm not sure you have to be a Lost fanatic for that, take the interpretations of the wreckage in credit sequence from this thread:

Lost fan: "I thought it was just something to put the credits over, not part of the narrative."

Not a Lost fan: "That the whole thing was taking place in dreamland. In reality, they all died in the crash. Otherwise, what was all that debris?"

You have to be a Lost fanatic to be arguing about it with people days later.

I agree. People who actually watched that show for six years have likely been conditioned out of expecting (or understanding) a linear presentation of imagery-as-narrative.

I'm generally in agreement with Charles' view of the finale, as expounded on his blog. But I have been swayed to a slightly more sympathetic view of whether Lost has appropriately "answered" the various questions/problems that it has put forward. Case in point: I was reading another discussion where someone mocked the final for showing the survivors as being able to just take off in a plane using a beach as a runway. Another poster pointed out that it wasn't a beach, but an island runway similar to those often used in WW2, but he had no idea how it magically appeared. Then another person commented that Kate and Sawyer were set runway building duties in season 3 while prisoners of The Others.

I thought it was a very good score overall. I agree that it wasn't used well in the final tho'.

I have to remember to not show my wife that list. She'd get angry with the computer for not listing Richard as #1, with several exclamation points after his name.

I was surprised to see Jacob so high up the list, but I guess he is good looking.

I had forgotten about Naomi, but yeah she's hot. Juliet's okay but shouldn't have ranked quite so high on the list.

I'd really like to see Sun under Kate...
