I'm warming to the theory that Desmond was in a completely different sideways alternate in that episode, indicated by his not being married. He started the flash at the airport just after the Oceanic flight. Did any other character's 'spotlight' episodes start at the airport? Because if not, I'm willing to bet Desmond started an entirely new tangent.

It's not an either or situation. I'd rather it be an adventure story. I'm totally digging all the relationship stuff so far. My point is that the show so far isn't a Romance with some Sci-Fi/Fantasy elements - quite the opposite.

Either that, or I really meant that I dislike love, and that I would enjoy it more if it was about death and hate. :rolleyes:

They all did.

After this week's episode, I'm wondering if the flash-sideways stuff is a "Last Temptation of Christ"-type story. And if it is, who's doing the tempting?

Is it too early to start planning the giant group Final Episode screening?

nope

Jay and Jack have been planning theirs for weeks already!

Aww, I'd be so up for this, but seeing as how we have to constantly pause TV while I deal with Theo, it's probably not the best idea for us. I'll want to see every frame!

He wasn't the first, but it is surprising how few actually started there:

• Jack.......In his bedroom
• Kate.......LAX
• Sayid......Nadias house
• Locke.....On his lawn
• Richard....Canary Islands
• Ben.........Classroom
• Sun/Jin....LAX
• Sawyer...Cheap Motel
  

I've been invited to a LOST Finale party but I don't think I want to go....I like having total control over the pause button whilst watching this show and don't think I could handle not having that.

Hmmm, seems you should start catching more frames from more episodes, CP. :p


Thanks, sleepy. I knew I saw one other one start there. Since I (thankfully?) missed the Kate episode, that must have been Sun&Jin's.

Not enough to say that every airport start is a separate tangent. And I don't imagine the wedding ring discrepancy with Desmond is a large enough clue for something so big as multiple sideways alternate universes. So I don't know what to make of the wedding ring thing.

Heheh, I'm sure - about 10 days after the series ends - the internet will be awash with lists of unanswered questions and unresolved clues. :cool:
