These are…
some rather violent reactions you people are having. Just big ol' fans of the book or do you not like Emma Watson on principle?

What do you wanna know?
Gimme your unanswered questions, people! I wanna know what you all think the producers better tell us Sunday night or on that DVD.

If we get to see one big-ass cast reunion of every meaningful character (save for Eko since I don't think that actor cares) all under one roof, that'll make the finale worth it.

I love the "bleedthrough" theory with Jack's growing cut on his neck. Very Back to the Future and the sibling photograph. I also agree Jack might have to die because it seems too simple to be true that Jack will just go about chillaxing on a beach in Jacob's place, no further complexities needed.

Elizabeth Mitchell
I suspect ABC renewed V simply to make up for luring Mitchell away from Lost by wooing her with what turned out to be a terrible series. (I will never get over Lost killing off its one good female cast member.)

I have decided
that nobody who visits this site cares about True Blood. Where are all the people who read the TV Clubs during the summer? Is this proof that those readers are all women and women largely have no interest in comics, while men have no interest in True Blood, thus making this Newswire extremely

Well give me other clever plays on the title and maybe I'll be nice and change it. Or maybe I won't.

That was sarcasm about needing a Widmore episode. I don't think he has machinations of exploiting the island at all. He clearly knows more about Smokey than Ben ever did and knows just what Smokey is trying to do to the candidates. He even brought Desmond to do some kind of fixing of things. And so far, it seems like

I think having someone like Daniel Faraday running around with "answers" and explanations that at least sound scientific and legitimate even if they're probably total bullshit makes "I'm special" and "I stuck a wheel into some light because I knew to do that" seem a little meager as answers. I also think the Donkey

Off the wall theorizing after 1am: Can I drag another text into this discussion to paint the Mother as Smokey: Beowulf. Think Grendel's mother.

I'd like a Widmore-centric episode, please, so I can understand just how he plans to exploit the island. I still think that's a lot of misdirection and dickheadedness on the part of the character. "I'm gonna be a jerk and lock you in a cage. Shut up or we'll shoot her. It's for your own good." No bedside manner.

Let's go back to the Cain and Abel talk. Haven't seen that in a while. Jacob beat the crap out of Esau as kids. He marked him.

I never said I had a specific theory that Smokey was tormenting Jacob by taking the form of Esau. That's just what seems to have happened.

@Lone Audience — Not saying science, which is human industry and imagination, hasn't played out before in pop culture. It's nothing new. I just like it cropping up in the show and delivering a statement, as opposed to Golden Caves of Wonder and giant statues. Sometimes I like a little weight to go with the floating

Yeah, introduced way too late in the game. If we'd had some glimpse of the Cave of Wonders earlier, perhaps Jack glimpsing it while walking from here to there in the jungle, especially since he's being set up as the replacement, then I would have bought into the mystical mojo setup. But 3.5 hours before the series

The destruction of the camp said "more powerful than meets the eye," but that's on a tornado-like level. And yet the episode empirically shows Smokey emerging as though it was born from Esau entering the drain. If she was Smokey already, it ruins this whole idea of containment and "not letting evil escape" and

I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone is really judging Lost's quality by how many mysteries get solved per episode. I think they're judging _how_ the mysteries get solved. The donkey wheel explanation was probably the worst. "We noticed something weird happens to metal. So we dug. Then we dug elsewhere. Then we

I love the Lost ride. I've enjoyed it since the pilot first aired nearly six years ago. But tonight the ride felt like a roller coaster that has an extra section of really awesome track that nobody ever gets to ride because the builders stupidly opted to cut the ride short and not build a connection to that extra bit

@Barnaby Jonesin — I was getting a Marcellus Wallace suitcase/Kiss Me Deadly energy vibe from it, totally, but not liking it. It's better when it's a MacGuffin, not the key to the whole damn show.

I am loath to refer to Blackie as Smokey now. Smokey issuing from the cave of wonders along with Blackie's body appearing makes me question whether Smokey is Blackie, or if the entity that is Smokey/Smocke is this pure evil that was contained in the cave, and Jacob let it out. John Locke's body can exist separate from
