Agreed! I thought that commercial was great, too, but I couldn't for the life of me remember the car. It took a number of searches in order to come up with the right one. Toyota? Nope, that was the Muppets. Honda? Wrong again, that was Bruce Willis. Hyundai! It was Hyundai.

If after watching the first episode of this season you had told me that I would end up liking Asylum more I would have laughed. Asylum had a lot of great moments and characters, but the rapidity with which it picked up and dropped off plot lines was really off putting to me. It was a lovely mess, but a mess all the

"I dunno. Point here is that Zoe being the Supreme would have given her
character a reason to be in the story. Since she wasn't, she was pretty
much only there to resurrect Kyle, which didn't really have much effect
on the outcome; and to kill Spalding, which… also didn't really have
much effect on the outcome. You

Madison messing with her was something that I considered, it also would have made sense to have her be behind Zoe ending up impaled on the fence, but nothing about the dialogue or the way the scenes were shot really supports that theory. I'd love to be able to give the show the benefit of the doubt and say that there

I agree that it's very confusing. Especially when you add in the fact that, in this season, the Supreme had to be a paragon of health. Even Madison's heart murmur disqualified her initially (which was cured when she was brought back from the dead…stupid). If becoming Supreme makes it so that you are physically

But didn't Queenie bring Misty back to life only a couple of episodes ago? It was after her and Cordelia found out that Madison had buried her alive. I suppose she could have just choked in the test, but that seems like a pretty weak explanation. Luckily, it is right at home in a season full of weak (or no)

He wasn't a ghost the whole time. He was alive up until episode 7, when Zoe killed him. He was a ghost from then until the end of the season.

To be fair, I think there are a lot of people who are more split down the middle, who acknowledge that the show didn't do a perfect job of dealing with all the mysteries that it created but overall did a good job of carrying most of the characters through from beginning to end. Ultimately though, it is kind of

Second. I never thought I would be able to jump into any kind of message board environment in regard to Lost, but the atmosphere set up here by Noel and the other commenters really kept me coming back. That's one of the things I'm going to miss the most about Lost, discussing it, disagreeing, but ultimately having a

Everyone on the Ajira plane was killed by Widmore's people. Or don't you remember the huge pile of bodies Sawyer came upon when he was investigating Hydra Island and came across Zoe?

Couldn't agree with you more. Regardless of how anything worked out, this was the inevitable end of the journey. I really can't think of any other way to end this show that would have 1/1oth the depth.

Agreed, though that's just the outcome Jacob was implying when he was describing the duties involved. That doesn't mean it's how things will end up.

The job isn't just about killing Smokey, that's just the immediate threat. After that Jack (or someone else if things are going the way I think) will have to stay on the Island and protect the light for the foreseeable future.

Hahaha, we want, I said the same thing to my girlfriend tonight during the show, "Geez it seems like Ben's had a jacked-up face for about 65% of his time on the show.

Agreed, I think it was rules as guidelines, not necessarily as unbreakable commandments. Plus, Jacob's death could have changed the way things work.

Jacob has always been hesitant to interfere overtly in the lives of people he brings to the Island (often to his detriment). It reminded me how it took him until Richard mentioned something to even have a representative who vaguely argued for his position. The origin of the Others, I guess.

It was nice to finally see Rousseau not all crazy island bedraggled. Amazing what a shower, some heels, and a nice dress can do for a person.

What would that be called, exactly? A tetrumvirate?

Hurley's "I'm just glad it's not me" did make me awfully suspicious. I mean, Hurley is special like MIB was, and he was the one who Mother really wanted to be the Island's protector. What exactly is the connection between people who are special and the Island? Do they just have a little bit more of that light than

What a ten seconds though. Miles can do more with ten minutes on screen than a lot of the previous characters could do with a whole centric episode. I hope that he's wisecracking until the end.
