can someone remind me what supernatural stuff walt does in season 1? Didn't he have some amazing power and read superhero comics?

He made a bird bang into a window by reading about birds.

Worst. Power. Ever.

At first I was underwhelmed:

Another Jack flashback to flesh out his character (oh - he's grown a beard and is upset about something) which continued to bug me throughout as I didn't see where in his timeline this would fit in.

Charlie giving Juliette up seemed stupid.

The very annoying Mancunian pilot was annoying me.

The promised action scenes of the trio of shooters and the tents wasn't that great (and a pretty stupid plan as well) especially after the disapointing lack of action in the last Heroes.

And where was bloody Locke

Then Locke appeared,

Walt appeared,

I realised Charlie completely believed Demonds prophecy,

The second action scene on the beach was fantastic (Hurley fucks someone up with his van, Sayed neck snapping and Sawyer shooting Tom),

The underwater station stuff was great as well,

The pilot got 'stabbed in the back' by Locke (is this a clue)

They totally got me with the flash forward to the extent that my first fault when Kate appeared was "this is stupid are they trying to say that Kate knew Jack when he had a beard and doesn't recognise him on the Island without one"

All in all - brilliant - one of the best season finales I've ever seen.

Can't wait for Season Four now - I think flash forwards might be the way they go from now on. Locke and Sawyers flashback arcs have pretty much been resolved, there can't be a lot more to say about Jack, Kate, Jin and Sun, Charlies dead and the rest of the characters such as Hurley, Rose/Bernard, Clare, etc don't really warrant more flashbacks unless they cram something new in to make them relevant.

Flash forwards would be cool - it would allow us to see what happens after the series ends (or when certain people get off the island) while still giving us Island stuff with whoevers on the phone, smokey, Ben, Jacob etc. In theory, all the flash forward should be interesting if they pepper them with little clues as to what happens on the Island.

Unlucky lottery winner, Hurley returns home; Kate the fugitive is found; what happened to Michael and Walt, etc, etc;

I'm sure it wasn't but if the plan all along was to have flashbacks and then switch to flashforwards half way through then thats genius.

Of course, it could have been a one-off and next season we will get another 5 hours of Jin and Suns relationship, Jack gets another Tattoo and some other non-relevant flashbacks.

I think they'll have flashbacks and flashforwards next season. There's characters which flashbacks we need to see; Danielle, more Ben flashbacks etc and then have the flashforwards of people who escaped of the island whoever they may be.

Though I read an interview and one of the producers said that the flashforwards were planned all along. I really do think it will become very important, maybe season 4 will have Jack, Kate etc be rescued and then 5 & 6 with them returning.

I re-watched the ending of lost. Now am I imagining things, but the first time I was (casually) watching the episode I'm sure I heard Jack say he loved Kate. But it wasn't there when on the re-watch. Am I losing my face?

It did happen - only watched it the once, but she was getting some water and he came and spoke to her. It was at the end of that conversation (which was about Sawyer saying that he didn't want her to come with him).

Dunno about all these flash forward predictions - it would dillute the present day drama. Everytime a character faces some peril, you won't be concerned as you'll have seen their flash forward and know that they don't die.

Anyone remember that episode when Jack was looking amongst the wreckage/island for his father's body... Did he ever find it? Also, are we 100% sure his father was ever in the coffin on the plane (I can't remember if Jack had to identify the body or not).

Just trying to make sense of Jack's "get my father down here" line in the flash forward. :lol:

Yup, my thoughts exactly.

But for Jack & Kate, it would depend on at one time line the show returns on. They could return next season and have 8 episodes with them getting off the island and the chaos that is left behind. Then episode 9 could be on the timeline of the flash-forward. The remaining 39 episodes would then go forward with us not knowing whether Jack or Kate will live. I can't see them writing a situation in which we know for sure that two characters are safe. Hell, before the finale aired there were all kinds of rumours abound that Jack was going to kill Kate by accident!

The flash forward could just be a temporary twist, so to speak.

I don't recall if Jack actually saw the body - did we ever find out how he died? I understand that Jack was there to collect the body. He then turned up on the island leading Jack to the waterfall/fresh water but when his coffin was found his body wasn't in it.

Jack did identify his dad. He found the coffin but he didn't find a body.

Yeah but he was long dead, and hes been confirmed as dead. Id love it if the island resurrected him, but he was long dead by then.

Spoke to my mate last night to tell him to make sure he watched on Sky tomorrow night before he stumbled across any spoilers.

He had already been told by somebody in work that there was some sort of flash forward at the end of the episode with jack and Kate talking about going back to the Island!!!. I denied it but as soon as the episode starts he's probably going to suss it out.

Why do people and the bloody media think it is okay to spoil TV shows. The Mirror had a page full of end of spoilers for all the U.S shows coming to an end the other week written by some soap opera columnist who had previously printed a story that Ecko died two weeks before the episode aired on Sky.

Would somebody please explain to them that spoiling Lost, Heroes, etc is not the same as showing pictures of Phil saving Ian's kids from a car in Eastenders and publishing magazines that give away all the plot lines for every soap.

People want to know who shags who in Eastenders then fine but spoiling Lost isn't much different to printing an article about the great new film coming out soon where a little boy can see dead people and Bruce Willis is a ghost. :ph34r:

When he said that line, he was in a drunken, drugged up state. The moment he mentions his father, the other doctor quickly glances away, as if realising the state he's in.

I don't think there's much chance of his father still being alive, even in the Lost world. It's just misdirection to make us think it was a flashback.

Yeah it seems News of the World has spoiled Charlie's death. It even showed pictures of him drowning. Though I assume people who read News of the world aren't intelligent enough to keep up with Lost so I think all is good.

Yeah I Saw this in the caff this morning, you can also see the message on Charlie's hand "Not Pennys Boat". I'd be very pissed off if I hadn't already seen it, but my mate hadn't seen it and despite being a big Lost fan asked who Penny was :ph34r:

Ive never understood this mentality, ive been a lost downloader since day one, but i remember being very pissed off at channel 4. They used the smoke monster appearing to eko in the fucking trailer for that ep. They just dont get it.

I imagine the NOTW are just filling pages easily, and mentally dismissing every single reader they have as just being thick. You get what you deserve for reading that shit, but its unfair how it leaks out towards none readers.

It'd hardly on the same level as I despise the show but Living TV used all the dramatic moments from Grey's Anatomy Season 2 as their trailer for Season 2!

I think it's daft to do like the News of the World have done - sure on forum you've got a choice not to look but if you're flicking through your paper on a Sunday morning there's no spoiler warning on the previous page.

I bought the first series of Battlestar, and just after the intro, they have a flash through of the episode. I find that weird, and I almost want to look away. Not sure why they do it, but at least there're no spoilers.

I can't stand the papers who spoiler TV shows. That's not reporting.
