hey its the sister chick

haha i love the idea that it was gonna be just like survivor

I only know of about four Londoners who still watch lost (I'm including people on this thread in that), did consider inviting them/you all round for the finale but Claire's got an exam the next morning and I'd probably just get pissy at anyone who spoke during it anyway.

that was literally the whole genesis of the show, an ABC exec saying hey what if we did a scripted show that was like Survivor. xpost

in fact maybe that's the greatest evidence that narrowing down the castaways to one final candidate really WAS always the plan haha

yeah tbh every brit i know irl gave up when it went off channel 4... four years ago.

I kept with it even without Sky. That's why they OWE me.

I can't find anything going on in SF for the finale but if any ILX0rs know of anything pls enlighten us :)

oh i know, totally. when it came down to a "list of candidates" i noticed that too... wait a second

just love the idea that people were expecting survivor-style antics and not like, time travel and shit

i might've ever watched Survivor if they started throwing polar bears and mysterious hatches into the mix as soon as ratings dropped off

I was talking to this really sweet couple last week who'd never seen Lost. My husband mentioned that I kind of loved it and they were like "isn't it just like Castaway?" When I told them there was time travel and a physics nerd they were like WOAH

Having thought a bit more about last week's episode, I have a feeling the season is not about whittling it down to the final candidate at all.

'Lost' gets a letter from George Lucas

Congratulations on pulling off an amazing show. Don't tell anyone ... but when 'Star Wars' first came out, I didn't know where it was going either. The trick is to pretend you've planned the whole thing out in advance. Throw in some father issues and references to other stories -- let's call them homages -- and you've got a series.

Given the direction that George Lucas eventually took Star Wars, that's definitely damning with faint praise there.

lol seriously

HAAAA

have faith, keep your head down, and it'll all come out incredibly shitty and disappointing in the end

apparently my six year old cousin just discovered star wars and is obsessed

he tells everyone he wants to chop two of his fingers off so he can have three fingers like yoda

Biiiiiiiig lol at that George Lucas letter!

love how Lucas is trying to be all self-deprecating with "I was just making shit up and throwing in a bunch of cliches" and everyone is all yeah we know dude

but in star wars, besides the "i'm your father" reveal, we knew who the bad guys were within 10 minutes of the first film. we still don't know who is bad in lost.

what i meant was, besides that surprise of darth being luke's father, there was not much left to be figured out by the audience

location of endor

What is this Force? Where does it come from? Who put the Jedi in charge? Have they been kidnapping all these younglings with high levels of midichlorians? How do they find them and how come they didn't find Walt Anakin when he was younger? Isn't the Empire right to attempt to free the galaxy from the control of these unelected self-appointed minders?

yeah, the big reveal to the lingering question that hung over the original series, of why all the main characters' midichlorians levels were so high, was pretty astonishing, especially after all taht time

Stormtrooper food drops

I would also like to know why Chewbacca was so high all the time

that wasn't bacca he was chewing

I guess this makes Lost the telvision counterpart to the Phantom Menace trilogy, bad writing and all.

I'm trying to figure out which season of lost corresponds with which star wars movie, but I don't think this analogy really works

Figure out which one was the holiday special first.

think we pretty much did all we could with that george lucas quote.

I want a LOST holiday special

It's all over but the rising crane shot with 'noooooooooooooooooo'

Yesterday, out of the blue, I thought "A week from now Lost will all be over." And just now I remembered thinking about having that thought yesterday. Just my own little batch of flashbacks and flashforwards.

is Desmond going to have to go into the magic cave? will he become a white smokemonster? that would prob suck

i'll be cheering on Team Alpert when they re-appear

am wondering if "previously on lost" will include any scenes of last weeks crapfest

I read that Lost ratings dropped from what was a 10 (at the start) to a 7 (at the halfway point), last week. If that's true, ike 3+ million people just turned that shit off or switched to something else. If they bring it up in the first two minutes, shit might get gnarly.

should show a clip from southpark where george lucas is raping indiana jones

SUPER BRAN

SUPER BRAM

bologna sandwich

Lost writers should look up the definition of the word "ashes"

Ben on some heel-turn shit.

So is the immortal Richard dead, or?

did Sawyer refer to flocke as "Flocke" in this episode? or was if just "if locke..."

also, flocke promising the island to ben and then saying he'll blow it up was dumb shit.

If Richard comes shambling out of the jungle with his head caved in and turned 180˚, all is forgiven.

haha i didn't think about that but yeah

if Richard is dead, man he and Sayid got swift and unceremonious dispatches. i'm so used to long string-drenched death scenes that these quick ones feel very odd and unreal. pretty good entertaining episode, though, feeling much better about the finale than I was a couple hours ago.
