JBandJoeyV Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 there really aren't THAT many big questions left. They've alread answered what the statue was, how it got destroyed, what the whispers are, what smokey is kinda, who richard is and why he doesn't age, how christian was on the island, and they will obviously eventually reveal what the alt timeline means. There is also a smokey/jacob flashback episode in 2 weeks that should reveal everything about their past. They are also supposed to reveal adam and eve soon. what other big questions are there really that you want answered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was great character tension early on and the surprises were effective. Now it's not much more than a bunch of blank faces trudging through the forest and the previously big headshaking surprises barely warrant a blink now.. This show lost it's way.

There's no way MiB was Christian EVERY time we saw him. I don't buy the whole "I was trying to help you find water" act. Either that wasn't MiB, or it was but he wasn't really "helping".

[/quote] hmmm. I'm starting to wonder if something bad will happen in the island timeline (Locke winning for example) and once the two timelines merge, the Losties (or maybe just Jack) will transport back in time to be able to fix a key cog that keeps Locke from succeeding. Not sure there's enough time to pull off all that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 The key things I still want to know, which I suspect we'll find out are: Where are Jacob/MiB from and how did they get there? How did they get their "positions"? Who's the kid in the jungle? Who built the donkey wheel/temple/tunnels, etc... How did he become the smoke monster? An exact explanation of what will happen if MiB gets off the island. Not simply "we all go to hell". How Aaron fits in to all of it. Another thing that could come in to play, but likely won't, is that there's an active volcano on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessing Jacob...if not though definitely someone from their past. So I think we'll find that out in 2 episodes as well. Outside chance its aaron? 3. Not sure...seems like another question that might be answered in the MIB/Jacob flashback. 4. Will get answered eventually. 5. Id assume gets answered, but you never know. Either way I think theyll get around to the big questions. These final 4-5 episodes are gonna be nuts. All the big questions are gonna get answered, the ones that wont will be like "Why cant women have babies on the island that are conceived on the island." or "How come you cant find the island, how does it heal people etc".

Season 6 has betrayed the character points you mention with character whitewashing, disappointing turns and redundancies to the storyline. S6 was supposed to be the payoff for prior seasons' mysteries, building towards a grand climax but so far it's been a series of weak resolutions. This show was far more interesting in the beginning.

scharm Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I think this season has lived up to the billing. I ultimately think there is not good or bad side. I think the whole thing is natural conflict that people have within themselves. People thinking destiny on somethings but also thinking they can control their own path. Science vs. Fate etc. Kinda like a kid when you know it's impossible for Santa to make all the deliveries but you still believe. They are also playing off the Star Wars with the good and bad side of the force, IMO. Jacob and MIB are like the good and bad angels that sit on the shoulders in the cartoons. It's natural that they fight each other but you can not kill one because ultimately the other would die kinda thing. Over the year the whole show has played off this theme mixing in drama and mystery. I'll be sad when it is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
