Okay, I think that's enough.

Arzt died. That pissed me off. In the same aspect, though, it was a brilliant move.

Hurley: "That was just wrong."

Hurley (to Jack): "You've got a bit of Arzt on your shoulder."

The big "monster". The "security system" as Danielle called it. Tell me that it doesn't sound mechanical? Like there was a chain clinking when Locke was getting pulled along.

And what was up with the black smoke?!?

My father had it figured out long before: when Danielle said that the Others were coming for the boy, and then they weren't at the fire to take the Claire's baby from Danielle, my dad said "They want Walt!" Sure enough, they took Walt.

And the final question: what is down that ladder in the hatch?

So, what did you all think?

I might have felt that way if Arzt hadn't gone all obnoxious & preachy on Hurley and the others. By the time his little self pitying rant was over I was hoping the monster would come along and eat him.

I actually busted out laughing when he blew up. How can you be so supposedly more knowledgable of dynamite & not know to pick up the ones w/ the least amount of nitro crusting up on the outside?!? Even I said it to my wife when he grabbed it. Locke knew more about it than Arzt did.

And what was up with the black smoke?!?.

I heard the mechanical noises too. So did the wife. We figured that it must be some sort of mechanical element to the island or something to knock over the trees, and pull Locke along by a chain using a wench or something.

My wife & I figured it was Walt too when Danielle mentioned that the voices said the others were coming for the boy. No real surprise to us when the pirate looking guys said they were taking him.

Quote:

Not sure. Some sort of room or lab? Perhaps something to do w/ the mechanical noises we heard when Locke was being pulled along by whatever had him.

With all but the first few feet of the ladder missing it will be interesting to see how they get down there and what waits for them.

And why were Hurley's #s on the side of the hatch?!?

I thought it was a great season finale. The really great thing about this show is that the mystery of the island seems to deepen the more we know about it. In other words, when we get answers to some of the questions we have, they only lead to more questions. That's really good writing.

I did my absolute level best to not get sucked in by this show. I'm in school, and the amount of TV I tape right now is embarassing - I didn't want to add one more, so I resisted. I told myself it was "Survivor" fictionalized and I set my feet and resisted.

Last night was spent at the drawing board, and since there's a TV in the basement, I had it on for company. However, it's not hooked up to cable, so I had only local channels to choose from. And what did I choose? Yup... you guessed it.

I think now I have to go find out who these people are. And I need to start taping episodes (helpful that Smallville is in a new time slot) and catch up. Same thing happened when I first encountered Buffy, actually...

that's actually kind of how I ended up here.

Isn't that the truth! The more background on characters we get and the more questions that get answered, the more questions we are left w/ at the end of an episode.

Excellent writing and plot twists.

Yeah, the whole episode felt like a D&D game to me.

I thought the episode was okay, but I was really hoping more would be revealed. Instead we just got the old string-along again.

The same sort of thing used to be said about X-Files. Then they did start revealing more and I lost interest.

They do have to leave themselves enough to get through another season too, after all.

With the X-files I think the problem was that even the writers didn't know where they were going, and so when they started revealing stuff, that became obvious. If Lost is the same way, I'd rather know now.

I'm not saying they had to reveal everything, but I can't think of anything even remotely big they revealed in that last episode. The biggest I could find was 'where did the comic come from?'
