Yep, now that was a real fun villain, not some scruffy guys with glue on beards.

So, apparently in an interview, JJ Abrams voiced his approval of the finales for "Lost" and "Alias".
Umm... anyone care?

I read where he said something major was going to happen in the finale. Something they had been building towards.

You'll probably see fewer flashbacks of our original characters as we begin to move toward certain inevitabilities. You will learn more about some of the other survivors next year. Also, where the new characters come from in Season 3 is going be part of the fun and anticipation over the summer, and hopefully by the end of the finale you'll be getting some sense of who those characters might be. - producers
Does anyone else think that sounds like more main characters will die in the finale?[/spoil]

Your explanation also makes sense regarding the in-show continuity. In season 1, before the lostaways knew about the others, the others turned on the "security system" to scare people so they wouldn't explore the island and find the others or some of the hatches. In season 2, now that the others have been discovered, there's no need to have a "monster" scaring people because Bearded man has made it clear what will happen if they try to go looking for them.

We'll see the resolution of the Michael-Walt story. We're going to answer the question of where Michael has been and resolve the story of him and Walt. The growth of Malcolm David Kelly (Walt) will be addressed in the 3rd season. We'll learn more about Dharma. Desmond will shed some more light on his experience on the island in the three years prior to when Locke came down into that hatch. There is more stuff between Sawyer/Kate/Jack, but the focus is not on the romance between those characters. There are bigger fish to fry. Ana-Lucia and Jack were not in a place where we felt it was believable for them to have a romance. Charlie and Claire have been on a break and there's definitely some advancement in their relationship as part of the finale. the perception might be that we dropped the idea of forming an army, what actually happened was that more significant things replaced the need to develop an army. But that concept is indeed coming back for the finale. You can expect to see more of Rousseau next year, but the story of the wrecked research vessel… it will be coming at some point but we can't guarantee it'll be in Season 3. We'll be introducing new characters in Season 3, so you'll be getting fresh flashbacks.[/spoil]

Something about the way they edited and used music in the coming attractions for next week seems like the most effective preview I've seen for the show this season.

Lol, Terry O'Quinn about Locke action doll.
Quote: walterneff,
I know that's in the works. My thoughts............................I think if they make John Locke an action figure, he should come with a little gun to shoot himself.
Cheers,

Yeah, this makes more sense to me. Of course, I'm one of the few that's actually liking the show this season, and thinks the writers are doing a good job. I don't see why everyone else continues to watch the show and complain, if they don't like it right now. When I don't like a show, I stop watching.

a) Add michael to the list of crazies. that takes the count up to something thats just crazy. too many killers on the plane.

trixsie? XXX?
I'm similar as loyal, though didn't 'loved' it, quite a bit liked it is much better to say. And when I already spend so much time on it, not just watching, but getting it as well, will stick to it until the end. Afterall, still interested in how will it end. And still interested in some 'mysteries'.

I see.
I agree, season 1 was awesome. But I think season 2 has been pretty good too. It's not like the show's horrible now, anyway. It may have dropped off a bit, due to too many unsolved mysteries and the disappearance of the monster, but it's still one of the best shows on TV. It's better than watching, say, The OC. _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes. Same. Algren wrote: I don't think. I predict.

Great episode. The flashbacks were not poiltess for once it seems and the conclusion was great.
Oh and I have mentioned it in the past, but yeah, it annoys me when people watch the show constantly, yet complain about it each episode. Here's hoping they'll stop watching it next season if the season finale sucks for them as well  _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

I actually saw the first season's finale one day after you folks I saw the first couple of episodes here on TV last April and got the rest in...um...a different way. Caught up on 15 episodes within 2-3 weeks and then watched the final 4-5 episodes of the last season with you, guys. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!
