They're out!

[Super Lurker]

Not too happy with the ending, the rest was brilliant however.

[Capwn]

Just watched it. Filler episode! No, it's good but don't go into it thinking it's going to be mega epic or anything. Didn't feel quite as special as last season's finale. Can't wait to see what everyone makes of it...

[Elliott]

I just finished it and with weary shoulders, I say

Well given the hype that was a bit underwhelming. No huge revelation moment at all, ending is too ambiguous to feel compelling. They've got some serious explaining to do in that last season, and I seriously hope it's a 24 episoder because they need it.

[Capwn]

Hmm, having time to reflect on it. Cliffhanger is something to make you go arrrrrrgh no mooooore!!! right? Well, job done. Still, it feels so anti climatic at the time.

[DoctorK]

Just watching the first episode now, zoinks!

Paul from Dexter is actually Jacob!

[davejm]

Where are these 2GB+ versions from, usenet?

I don't know of anywhere publically that you can get 2gb+ encodes.

On HDbits, you get the CTU/Dimension scene releases (1.2gb) available first thing in the morning; but a couple of days later when the source cap finds it's way onto usenet, someone on the site does a better quality encode (2gb+).

Oh man!!! I was wondering where I recalled him from!!

[Kinketsu]

Is it crazy to be both totally entertained and yet somehow disappointed by something at the same time? They are leaving themselves with A LOT to do next year, that's for sure.

[DoctorK]

I bet they never answer the greatest mystery, which is where they got the Dharma Initiative Teeth Whitening Kits from.

Foolishly I'm trying to watch this at work but people keep asking for IT support. Very inconsiderate.

[Popo]

Oh my eyes.

The best episode of Lost ever.

[DoctorK]

Bloody hell!

I want to see a mash up of clips where Jacob appears to everyone with a soundtrack of "Round round get around, I get around"

WHO the feck is "Locke", Juliette setting off the bomb at the end, oh man I am gutted I really liked her character. Even with all the facial botox. Right at the very end was a pure GOB Buth COME ON! moment.

[zxcvbnm]

If anyone has a rapidshare link to the SD version, a PM would be rather nice. It's not appearing on my usual places for some reason

[GODZOOKI]

hmmmn enjoyed the finale but what a shit ending!

[dr_lha]

So what was up with the whole

"someone has been using Jacob's hut" thing? Does this mean that the flying furniture and "help me" of the previous Jacob encounter was not Jacob, but instead the guy who wants to kill Jacob?

Was the guy on the beach at the start supposed to be the smoke monster?

Also the "loophole" was simply coercing someone else to kill Jacob? Hardly seems like it would have taken hundreds of years(?) to figure out that one, especially as it has the ability to pretend to be other people.

The whole nuclear explosion without any payoff was a bit of a cop-out as well. Was it a reset switch? They should of at least showed 30 seconds of the consequences as a set up for next season IMHO.

[Rudi von Starnberg]

Loved it, but it's a definite case of 'more questions than answers'.

Fairly sure that 'Locke' is the smoke monster - same as the impersonation of Jacob in the cabin and so on. The smoke monster's temple showed it fighting the god-figure, and Jacob seems pretty closely associated with that so it's a fair bet that it's the malicious enemy of Jacob.

[dr_lha]

So has anyone online translated the answer to the question: "What lies in the shadow of the statue"? I know that Richard answered in Latin, which along with the fact that Ilana referred to him as Ricardus would suggest that he's very old (Roman?), older at least than being from the Black Rock (which lets not forget, sailed out of my home town of Portsmouth, and Richard wasn't all "facking 'ell moosh, Locke's in the box? Weeeeeee! I've been a roight dinlo.").

Agree - they should have showed a brief clip of the consequences.

As they didn't it'll be very difficult to avoid any spoilers as hype for the final series kicks in.

I was convinced the episode would end with them all getting off a plane at LAX - no idea what would happen from there though.

Absolutely. Most

frustrating

episode ever.

[Capwn]

by not showing post bomb it allows the writer loads of time to work out the best storyline to follow. Actually that's a crap excuse isn

t it? Anyway, when Richard answers the question about what lies in the shadow of the statue he is saying something like 'He who is our savior". I think it's meant to be Jacob but then he isn't exactly in the shadow is he? Unless by shadow they just mean beneath it.

If the beach guy is the smoke monster, and was using the cabin in recent times rather than Jacob, then it was beach guy that told Locke to move the Island, setting into motion the wacky time travelling chain of events that led to the moment were he could kill him. Somehow. I don't even know where i'm going with this thought. But there's something in it.

I think the implication is that the whole wacky time travelling escapades were part of his plan. I guess the idea is that Locke's appearances through time to Richard convinced him that Locke was to be trusted and the future leader, whereas in fact it was all a smokey ruse to get to the point where Richard trusted Locke enough to not only let Locke see Jacob, but to let Ben tag along with him despite his reservations.

Seems like a bit much though really, doesn't it?

[spork]

Enough of all that.

The biggest talking point is

Rose and Bernard and Vincent hiding in a hut!

I assume that was what Ben had shown Locke to be Jacobs hut?

Wasn't it also implied that ghost Horace who spoke to Locke ages ago was building a hut in the jungle too? I cant quite remember

[Super Lurker]

So Evil Locke was the one that made Nice Locke want to kill himself in the first place - because he told Richard to tell Nice Locke that he was going to have to die.

Excellent.

[dr_lha]

The thought crossed my mind that

Rose and Bernard are be Adam and Eve, the whole black and white thing, plus Bernard is a lover of Backgammon, so the stones found with Adam and Eve were backgammon pieces.

[tiedtiger]

Well that was COOOL.

Many thoughts brimming up now.

[Tom*]

wow, Jacob must have really pissed that guy off! Awesome and frustrating finish to the season, but mainly awesome. I think they should have briefly teased what happens next, agreed. Evil Locke was acting so evil!

I'm glad Phil got a pipe in the chest. Not sure how that bomb dropped that far and didn't go off, I guess it was the "energy".
