i wrote this post last wednesday night, but for some reason i didn’t post it at the time; i’m not sure why. anyhoo, here it is for you now:
we just finished watching the final episode of season 3 of LOST. it was amazing and wonderful and will leave me with plenty to think about for the next 7 months. until then, i’m going to give you my thoughts: there are spoilers here, so if you haven’t seen the finale yet you might want to hold off. enjoy!
jack and his “flashback”
jack’s flashback seemed to be more of a “flashforward.” i predict that for the remaining 3 seasons each episode will feature a specific character’s flashfoward instead of flashback.
the resulting contact with the boat “80 miles off-shore” will not result in rescue, which won’t happen until the end of the 6th season. therefore, over the next 3 seasons, the flashforwards will be working backwards toward the point of rescue in much the same way that during the first 3 seasons the flashbacks worked forward to the point of crash.
the two times that jack mentioned his father were just ways of trying to trick the audience: he could have easily found prescription forms of his father’s and filled them out for himself; when he told the new doctor to go find his (jack’s) father he was actually saying, “my father, on many occasions, was much worse off than i am right now, and he was never reprimanded.” he was also pretty cracked out and could have just been insane at the time.
questions
- with almost all of the “others” now dead, where are the remaining survivors of the tail section (the flight attendant, the kids, etc)?
- why/how was locke so certain that jack should not talk on the radio? what else did walt say to him?
- is Naomi genuine? or is she just a really good liar? who is she really working for?
- why did charlie think he had to die? why couldn’t he have left the control room and locked the door from the other side?
