I felt the same way about Charlie.. I think he will be around.. at least till next week!

Exactly! And it didn't help that ABC had been showing the BIG explosion in their teasers that hinted that we would finally see the showdown between our Losties and the Others.....and what did we get instead? A demonstration of the dynomite(which was totally done just so they could use it in their ABC promos). How stupid can they be? It was known that Ben has been going back and forth to the nearby Staff Station...if he or any other "others" saw that explosion they would have known that the Losties had dynomite--goodbye surprise Once again I was taken in by the ABC promo department

Me too. This was the one aspect of last nights show that I did enjoy. Charlies flashbacks were wonderfully done.

Did anyone see the special they had on LOST last night (thurs) right after Grey's Anatomy. It was called LOST:SECRETS. I was watching the first 15 minutes and then fell asleep.. They said the Producers were going to reveal some stuff... I was just too tired to stay up....

Was anything worthwhile talked about, because the first 15 minutes was a recap of each character since the beginning...

[scaeagles]

Nothing was revealed at all.

What it seemed to me they were doing was saying "See! We ARE giving you some answers to mysteries as well as creating more." They reviewed the mysteries that have been presented and answered, and also the mysteries that have not yet been answered.

For example, what was the hatch, what is the monster (they admitted that's only half answered - we have seen it but don't know what it is), what happened to Dharma, etc, etc, etc.

It did remind me of a few things I had forgotten about, but....it was pretty much what I described above.

I really don't get it. They need to just get out there and say, "The show is about not knowing what's going on. If we told you the answers, there would be no show. So shut up, stop asking, and watch the show."

They have already said that. They said in the "Answers" show (and in various podcasts) that the real part of the show is the that everyone has a past and the reveal of that is half of the story.

I remember a couple of years ago I went on a field trip with my sons 3rd grade class to "study" the Willamette River(I say "study"...what it really is was a Jet Boat Thrill Ride for students and teachers at tax payer expense...but I digress) Our guide did point out a few interesting things and historical facts along the way which I found very interesting. When we got back to the classroom there was still an hour left before school let out so I stayed with a couple of the other parents to sit in on the class.........and we went over what we "learned" on the boat trip...again...real...slow...so...3rd...graders... could...understand....and with no additional or more in depth anylisis of the facts we learned. Which was perfectly fine because they were just 3rd graders.

"Lost Answeres" brought back that memory...I am not sure why

Remember the "Pat" sketch on SNL? My young brothers used to debate what Pat actually was, a man or a woman. It was impossible to convince them that Pat was actually supposed to be neither, an eternal impermeable enigma. That was the whole point.

They were just kids - we're talking about adults here. But I guess people have no patience. This show better not get cancelled or there'll be rioting in the streets....by me.

I am *FINALLY* caught up with all the episodes! And I'm very confused.

2 hour finale tonight.

After the anti-climatic ending of 24* and a roller coaster excitement level season of Lost I'm seriously not getting my hopes up for any sort of excitement.

*not that the two are related, I'm just irked by the ending.
