Anonymous	There really is no theory Oct 11 2006, 3:56 PM EDT I think that this show could go on forever and I hope it does because its the only show I get pumped up to watch each week and hate when it is not on. All true Lost junkies know what I am talking about. I personally do not think that there is an ending to distinguish a true theory. I think that all of this is being added as each season goes along. Think about it there are still so many unanswered questions that have been "avoided." The black smoke, what ate the pilot, and Hurley's numbers, which by the way is the only hint to any theory so far and I am hoping that is not it, but very possible. Bottom line I really do not want to try and guess because I know once the true theory arises this means the end of Lost.

SawyersSweetie	RE: There really is no theory Oct 11 2006, 4:08 PM EDT Actually JJ gave an interview a while back stating that he wanted to tie up most of the outstanding questions this season. Like what is the black smoke, the black smoke, and the numbers. Just because they are answered doesn't mean that the show will end. True it can't go one for 12 seasons but it still has a few seasons to answer the question of how they will get off the island..which is the biggest question of them all.

Anonymous	RE: There really is no theory Oct 20 2006, 11:33 AM EDT Word on the street is that the show is set to last 5 seasons, and that comes from a reliable source. The show is great so far, but the writers are presenting so many new issues. I don't think they will be able to tie everything together in the end. The finale will either be incredible, or absolutly horrible. And swayerssweeite, is getting off the island really the BIG question? Or is discovering what the island is, and who these people are the bigger question? Post reply Do you find this valuable?
BJohn18x	RE: There really is no theory Mar 16 2007, 12:54 AM EDT It's life, or Casablanca the movie. Both are kind of made up as they go along, though this is also beginning to resemble a video game. The surprising stuff comes first -- the bears and boars and man-eating smoke and the whispers in the night and so on -- and as those are overcome they gradually disappear and a new set of problems begin to arise. Characters begin with certain strengths (points, if you will), Jack is the healer. Kate the Temptress. Locke the warrior. Yada, yada yada. Interaction with characters and situations either strengthen them or kill them. Certainly, roles change as do personalities. The game is in the voyage, not the conclusion, again like life and Casablanca, which was so screwed up during production no one knew how the thing was going to end. To carry out the video analogy, the Others may well be the survivors of an earlier game who were saved and plugged into this vehicle. Like any character carried over from game to advanced game, you begin with an advanced set of experiences, better weapons and more money . . . but you can still be knocked off. In a more real world sense, I think the writers are pretty much making it up as it goes along, which isn't necessarily a bad strategy and often allows for pretty entertaining TV. But I do wish they'd kind of speed it up a tad. Unlike a similarly unlikely show, 24, in which something is always happening, the Lost folks do enjoy poking along and risk losing a story in a series of hair-care ads. And I still wish someone can tell me why Jack's tats took up an entire episode, no matter what they said. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
