It may be trying to make corrections in the time line. What has happened..happened and cant be changed, thus the "corrections":scratch2:
Let's talk about LOST
- Thread starter stereocuuple
- Start date

Personally I think L O S T started getting its mojo back about midway through last season. They almost L O S T me season 3 - season 4 1/2 but I hung with it. I am glad I did. I am completely enjoying the plot switchbacks. You recall when Locke met Richard and discovered he had not been born yet and told him his birth date? Now go back to midway through season 4 when Richard visited Locke when when he was a child. This is what I like about L O S T, these are easter eggs for me. My wife, 14YO, & myself are enjoying season 5 as much as 1 & 2.
Random thoughts -
Ben Linus, best villain, better than the Smoking Man even. Pure, distilled evil & maybe the best portrayal of a sociopath put on TV.
Hope Ecko gets folded back into the story somehow.
Sayeed, Jin, & Sawyer on my side if the going gets tough.
Kate gets the Barbi Benton, separated at birth award.
Desmond certainly seems to have the most fleshed out role this season......so far.
Locke rocks, has always rocked.
Like the new characters. Good performances from all, Faraday especially.
Libby, ah Libby. What a shame. Bring back Libby.

Revolution is cyclical.
I'm a big fan of the show. 
The complexity of it had me hooked from the start.
Endlessly flowing open ended questions with curious twists and turns.
Connections, intersections, and resolutions that seemingly have no end.
Wild stuff, my friends
Plus, the way the writers forced us the have a vested emotional interest in the characters is.....I think..... brilliant.
IMO Some episodes/seasons were definately better than others.
But....
Just when I think they've streched the plot line way to thin, they come up with some crazy backstory or unseen connection that just makes you go.....huh?!?...Wow......Cool.
I'm really intrigued by the direction it's going, now.
Quantum physics.
Exotic matter.
Intervention of fate?
We'll see.....
Regards,
John

IMO, The BEST show ever made...I think because of the character-driven nature of the story, and the fact that even if you know what's going on you never really KNOW what's going on.

mmmmhevery season I miss the first 4 till I get used to the always different daytime it starts
sometimes I guess the writers don't know any more how they started and I'm damn sure the don't know how it'll go on. But every season draws me into the story again.
I'm anyway one Season back to to you
remember Twin Peaks? This was getting a little bit too.... abstract in a way, but's been nothing compared to Lost

For all you fans of Penny, AKA Sonya Walger, you should check out the movie "The Search for John Gissing." It's a pretty funny film from 2001, that was released on DVD late last year. She's very funny, and very easy on the eyes in that film.:yes:

02/18 epi recap (spoilers!)
great opening--Jack awakes on The Island, drags hurley out of a pond and finds Kate washed up. dream? flashback? flashforward? "46 hours earlier..."
WE FOUND OUT...
The Pendulum Room was a Dharma project designed by an unidentified, extremely bright scientist and his team (barring time travel, not Faraday?). It utilizes some electromagnetic phenomenon to link with similar places on earth (Tunisia, North Pole...) On the wall is a picture of The Island listed as a US Army photo 1954 (Jughead test?) Mrs. Hawking uses the room (as did Dharma) to figure when/where The Island will be, and directs them to take a certain flight. The flight must be as close as possible to the Oceanic 815 flight, so all the O5 (Oceanic Five; the O6 minus Aaron) should be on the plane.
Locke's body is loaded on to replace Jack's father. Sayid appears, cuffed to an unidentified Law Enforcement Woman (replacing Kate's cuffed trip). End of epi; we know at least Jack, Kate and Hurley made it back.
Desmond delivers his message and insists he will have nothing more to do with The Island; Mrs. Hawking informs him 'The Island isn't finished with you'.
Ben disappears to run an errand and boards scratched, bruised and arm in cast.
Lapidus (now nicely groomed) is the pilot; seeing the O5 he observes 'We're not going to Guam, are we?'
Jack/Hurley/Kate are found by Jin, wearing a Dharma coverall and driving the van; his expression is less than welcoming.
questions;
*who/what convinced kate and Hurley to get on the plane?
*where's Aaron?
*what happened to Ben? he threatened to kill Penny (Widmore's daughter) in retaliation for Alex's (his adopted daughter) death (blamed on Widmore). Ben saw Desmond in the Pendulum room; did he track them down? did Violence ensue? If he did get Penny (hope not!) will Desmond go vendetta? might motivate him to go back to The...well, you know where.
*did Sayid willingly board or is he being extradited; if so by whom, for what crime?
*was Jin not happy to see them? didn't recognize them due to time changes? or just the camera didn't stay on him long enough?
*Where are Sayid and Sun? Ben?
*did the plane crash or were the O5 just zapped out?
like any good Lost episode, it asks as many questions as it answers...

Not one of the better episodes. I thought the return was "too simple" and Ms Hawking was acting like it was that TV program Weakest Link. I actually felt the way the return was handled was a "Jump The Shark" moment. I was waiting for Fonzie to go water skiing past Hurley. I hope hope this was just a blip and not a loss of creativity and direction.
I would assume Aaron is with his grandmother who was conviently in L.A. That would tie up that issue well.
Jin and his group(Sawyer,Juliet,Faraday) are working in Dharma as that is where they jumped to. Remember Faraday was seen in a Dharma work unit a few weeks back.
Sayid, Sun and Ben are probably in another loop. This is a way the entire long history of the Island can be revealed.
I can't imagine the plane actually crashed because it would be really inappropriate that all the other people would be killed for the sake of the returners.

I wish the damn thing would reach some kind of conclusion. It was OK when it started, but it really is flogging a dead horse now. Is it just a pension plan for the actors left in it?

I'm hoping the flight attendant survived on the island. She was cute.

They have a set number of shows to do until the conclusion which will be next season. They have actually written a finish to the show and are working backwards to fill in the missing history of the Island.
That VW bus was looking pretty shiny and new....
And what about the airline water bottle washing up a few episodes back. (same airline as the Guam plane)
