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.

For a change.
Is there a site anywhere cataloging all the questions they haven't answered?

Where's Claire? Why does Jack have that reaction to the baby?
Claire's dead. Jack was probably involved in her death somehow (not like he killed her - but like he couldn't save her), so he can't face the baby.
OK, now, granted, this is coming from the POV of someone who has only seen the first 2 series (and only the one time back when they were broadcast), but, would it be totally wrong to suppose the following:
Aaron is Jack's half-brother
?
BTW, it might be an idea if we work out the exact colours used on the forum, due to white-on-grey and white-on-light-grey not really doing the trick. Although, I do realise this would involve a fair bit of work when a spoiler is quoted (i.e. turning the color white again).

You're right! (about both!)
I actually knew that, but because it wasn't revealed until season 3 (and therefore I only knew about it through spoilers), I'd conveniently forgotten it and was then able to go off in a totally different direction.
Looks like it's time I departed from a topic I know nothing about and conveniently forget it ever happened, until the next one!

I'm just worried about what's happened to Claire in the future. She's the sweetest girl on television and if they kill off another pretty girl for so-called "shock" value, then I'm gonna be mighty annoyed. And it's not looking good for Claire. I've read spoilers that have been debunked as hoaxes and now look highly likely again and I don't know what to think.
This show is driving me insane.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Jack's father revealed to be alive, and working at the hospital, in the Season 3 finale? WTF is up with that? He's so involved with damn-near every character that you just KNOW that he's got to have something to do with the crazy stuff that's going on.
Personally, I think that Claire decides to stay on the island with Locke's group but wants her kid to go back to civilization.
We still don't know when they got off the island, but time has got to be doing something screwy. Aaron is only a baby on the island and he looks to be 2 or 3 years old in the Kate episode. Although they've been on the island for 100 days (island time) a lot more time may have passed in the outside world. This can account for why Walt has aged significantly.
Oh, the thing with John and the grenade? Awesome.

Well we don't see him, and Jack is drunk and on crazy pills in the finale, so maybe it's just that he can't let go. The other guy's reaction could go either way, as with all things Lost...though check out mobisode 13 if you really want to know what's up there, the producers have confirmed that it's canon

When were they aired? When are they set?
And why do I keep asking questions that I could google?

Asking Google is rather like a shotgun. You load it with shot, and when fired, you hope the target is within the area of the pellets' spread.
Asking EmVee, Obfleur, etc. on the other hand, is more along the lines of the sniper rifle. You load a single round, line up where your intended target will be at some future point, wait for the opportune moment and fire with unerring accuracy.

They aired as teasers just before S4 did.
They are set all over the shop timewise - one (Hurley and Frogurt) shows Hurley plucking up courage to ask Libby on a date (S2), one shows Michael and Sun flirting (S1) and the 13th mobisode is set just a couple of seconds before the pilot episode begins, providing a very interesting take on the very start of the series...

I love the way this show is essentially a big love story about Desmond and Penny. Who cares about Kate, Jack, Sawyer and the rest? This one was perfect. Sayid, Desmond and Penny. *sighs*

Yes, go ahead and turn your back on someone you don't trust.
Awesome move Kate!
EDIT: We need a full episode of "Hurley and Sawyer"!

actually, I think it was because it focused on Juliet that is was weak.
she's annoying.

Yeah, from when Jin brought Sun dinner to Sun at his tombstone, I was crying like a baby most of the time. But look at it this way: Jin's tombstone said he died the day of the plane crash, AND Sun never said he was dead, only that she missed him and wished he was there. So, aside from the idea that his date of death was faked to ensure the location and whereabouts of the island and the presumable others still living there by the Oceanic 6 (but that he indeed dies somewhere along the line of getting Sun off of the island), there's also the possibility that A, he's been forced to stay behind on the island for some reason or B, his flashback indicates that he's lost among the timestream. With babies as his constant. lolBest First wrote:I thought we could just meander between making well thought out points, being needlessly immature, provocative and generalist, then veer into caring about constructive debate and make a few valid points, act civil for a bit, then lower the tone again, then act offended when we get called on it, then dictate what it is and isn't worth debating, reinterpret a few of my own posts through a less offensive lens, then jaunt down whatever other path our seemingly volatile mood took us in.

I dunno, the flashback/forward thing was a pretty low trick to play...at the birth I was blubbing like a baby, but afterwards I felt cheated. I know they play tricks on us all the time, but tonight felt like they really sold us a pup.
So Sun is one of the Oceanic 6 but Jin isn't? That leaves one more "survivor" of the crash to be revealed.
And Kevin Johnson? Oh man, Sayid is so gonna kill him.
I love this show. It's still good, after everything.

I think the 6 is Jack, Kate, Aaron, Hurley, Sayid, and Sun.

1. I was just responding to MV saying there was one more.
2. They've already all appeared, so unofficial OR official, they are the 6.
3. Wikisites are now "official"? Hells yes. Truthiness reigns supreme!

Well wiki sits are not official. But they often link to official sources... why don't we have a winky emoticon?
