Lost (spoilers for Ukers)

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I know. :(

That makes... what, Bernard? As the last surviving Taily?

Boo!

At least he went out awesomely, though.

Thought the episode was pretty boring, up until the awesome of the end. Smoke monster yay. Could even explain Jack's dad, Kate's horse and the vision of Walt.

So long as they don't explain it away by saying "oh, it's God" or something. I'm not keen on the supernatural aspect of it... I'd much rather sleuth it out.
Grrr. Argh.

Pretty sure it's not God - but maybe it thinks it is.

I maintain my suspicion that the people on the island are the ones that didn't survive the crash.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_%28TV ... d_theories

"Several of the more common fan theories have been discussed and rejected by the show's creators, the most common being that the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 are dead or in purgatory. This was specifically denied by J.J. Abrams and was also proven to be wrong by the second season's finale.[34]"

Whilst I'm always wary of producers talking bollocks to protect plots... the "they're all dead" notion strikes me as... well... pretty wank.

On the Lost boards it's common knowledge that every time you say "purgatory", God kills a kitten.

Eko was one of my top three characters, and I thought he was a real badass.

I was thinking, "Yes, finally the Others have someone to worry about!"

Guess not.

So I don't really understand why they killed him off. Was it that he didn't repent, so the Island killed him? It seems like the Island wants to teach its inhabitants a lesson, and when they don't learn, it kills them off. Or something along those lines.

i find its normally the opposite way. As soon as characters make peace then they die.... or in other words as soon as there as they can no longer contribute to the plot they are dead :)

Or as soon as actors start acting up, they are offed.

Ex: Anna Lucia-drunk driving
Libby-drunk driving
Eko-acting out on the set
Shannon-wanted to pursue other action endeavors

I didn't realise there was anything to suggest she knew Hurley.

He thought he recognised her from somewhere.

We found out where at the end of Dave.

Sorted, innit?

We already know the reason - they were in the same mental hospital.

Unless you're talking about the reason Libby was in there, which is a different question entirely.

Probably trying to get over the loss of her husband, and possibly Desmond (depending on when Hurley was in the mental hospital) too.

the reason libby was in there.... the reason she coincidentally seemed to start a romance w/ hurley....I think it had more to do w/ Gee I think I know you from somewhere. anyway my opinion is that they had more planned for the whole hurley/libby saga that was cut short due to the actors off camera behaviour
