    questions, and only 3 you could ask the Lost writers what would they be. Granted they cant give away the entire plot, but 3 things that you'd really like to know but would still keep you interested. Please just keep it to 3 questions.

    Mine would be -

    Q) is there an other amongst Jack, Kate & co we are unware about ?

    Q) what and why is Penny looking for and how does she know about the island?

    Q) what are the others trying to achieve?


    Sorry if this kinda thing was done before, I havent come across it if it has!

    What is the monster? What is the island? Whats with all the weirdness?

    All 3 questions from season 1. Doesn't look like they'll be answered soon...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭MikeHoncho


    Great idea for a thread:

    Q) Why is Locke in a Wheelchair?
    Q) Who is Jacob?
    Q) Why is Jack not on Jacobs list, who is on it and why? (possibly 3 questions in itself)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭Agamemnon


    Good thread. My three questions are:

    1. Why can no-one see the island from outside?
    2. What's causing all the weirdness like Locke regaining the use of his legs and Jack seeing his father?
    3. What is the black smoke yoke?

    Although, if I'm being honest, these three questions bother me more:

    1. What does Kate look like naked?
    2. What does Nikki look like naked?
    3. When will Kate and Nikki get it on?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,067 ✭✭✭L31mr0d


    damn you trilla, my brain nearly imploded trying to sort my list of questions down to just 3...

    Q1. Have you decided on how the series will end?
    Q2. How many seasons are left
    Q3. Will all mysteries and questions be answered by the end of the series?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,026 ✭✭✭Killaqueen!!!


    Well I could have 3 questions about the show itself and 3 questions to the writers.

    1) How come nobody can see the island or escape from it easily?
    2) Who are the Others and why are they here?
    3) What does the island want and how does it have those powers?

    ...and to the writers/creators/producers:

    1) Why don't you ever write the characters talking about the events?
    2) Why do you make the characters so stupid that they never ask any questions?
    3) What were the 3 'great' mysteries meant to be solved in the last episode and were they important?

    Good questions and the only questions which actually make sense. The whole point of watching a tv show is to watch, wait and see what happens. Any other questions would just ruin the experience and as far as I can figure shouldn't be asked unless questions remained unanswered at the conclusion of the series.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    1. how come you decided to add a second island, and how did desmond not see it whilst circling the main island on the boat.
    2. why are you allowing yourselves to be raped by abc
    3. when and have you decided how you're going to end it.

    normally id agree with you, but hey, this is lost, its lookin likely enough at this stage that some of the questions may never be answered, id be squeezin every answer out of the writers i could, given the 3 questions opportunity..

    Agreed. We dont want another X-files or Alias(which doesnt sound good for LOST!) on our hands. They both had terrible endings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 135 ✭✭Splendid


    Who's Nikki?
    This isn't what i'd ask the writers, i just can't place her, i've seen all this seasons episodes as well.

    She has only been introduced this season, she was just supposd to be 1 of the background characters in previous 2 season although she actually wasn't.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19 Scorponok


    1.Why do you ignore the original characters like Claire, Jin, Sayid ect.
    2.Why do you keep given us more questions every single episode??
    3.Why did Eko die?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,854 ✭✭✭Sinfonia


    1) Will all questions be answered?
    2) Is every second episode going to be filler?
    3) (to Michael Giacchino) Why did you stop using the brass fall-off motif from the first series????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,247 ✭✭✭stevejazzx


    1.Why is walt specical exactly
    2.Is the virus real, what is it what does it do.
    3.Is Ben or has ben ever been part of Dharma




    Q) is there an other amongst Jack, Kate & co we are unware about ?
    *No, Kate has had some very suspicious lines of dialogue but given events if she is a mole then she probably doesn't even fully realise it herself. Other theories have indicated bernard...but the writers have hinted recently that there isn't.
    Q) what and why is Penny looking for and how does she know about the island?
    *Desmond, why? she loves him, how? her father is Mr Widmore a financial contributor to Dharma/Hanso, so thats how she knew she needed to find electromagnetic anomalies
    Q) what are the others trying to achieve?
    *Possibly a perfect scoiety, possibly the notion portrayed in the sri lanka video.


    What is the monster?
    *It's suppose to the security system for the Island possibly made from nano technology. It also seems to be a kinda judge.
    What is the island?
    *Damon says it's a 'hothouse'. Currently it's the aftermath of old Dharma projects, still protected by an em field and littered with the remants of the old projects.
    Whats with all the weirdness?
    *Well something to do with the eye. The hallucinations/images are probably down to the smokey. Also there increased pineal gland activity due to the em field is making all ther losties extra sensitive to their envoiroment.

    Q) Why is Locke in a Wheelchair?
    *We don't know yet....
    Q) Who is Jacob?
    *Possibly pathchy. Who's pathcy? Seems to be the guardian of the flame station.
    Q) Why is Jack not on Jacobs list, who is on it and why? (possibly 3 questions in itself)
    *The most common theory is the list contains people who the others want to induct into thier society or save from ther judgement of smokey, this theory arises from the fact that ben once said to anna lucia 'goodwin thought you were woth saving'.

    1. Why can no-one see the island from outside?

    *EM field, possibly something to with time and how the core of the island us spinning
    2. What's causing all the weirdness like Locke regaining the use of his legs and Jack seeing his father?

    *Smokey was Probably Jacks father, now that we've seen him recreate Ekos brother. Locke possibly regained the use of his due the large em field.
    When he landed on his back from the crash, the lower of his body charged.

    1. What does Kate look like naked?
    *Really Hot
    2. What does Nikki look like naked?
    *Quite hot
    3. When will Kate and Nikki get it on?
    *Season 47 Episode 14.

    1) How come nobody can see the island or escape from it easily?

    *em field shileds the island and also throws off compass normal compass bearings

    3) What does the island want and how does it have those powers?
    *Black rock is probably the source of the Islands power, the theory is a comet hit the island with contained special properties,

    1) Why don't you ever write the characters talking about the events?
    *Possibly becasue they can't think of decent enough ways of doing it.
    3) What were the 3 'great' mysteries meant to be solved in the last episode and were they important?
    *Jacks Tatoo, Cindy and the childern.
    1. how come you decided to add a second island, and how did desmond not see it whilst circling the main island on the boat.
    *Great question about desmond not seeing it.......???
    2. why are you allowing yourselves to be raped by abc
    *I don't JJ Abrams is any way fearful of ABC
    3. when and have you decided how you're going to end it.
    *they claim yes

    3.Why did Eko die?
    *Because he didn't repent when Smokey confronted him with his past.

    Desmond didn't circle the island. He sailed away from the island, and accidentally ended up back there due to the compass reading being thrown off by the EM field..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭Tristram


    1) Is Vincent masterminding everything?

    2) Will there be an episode devoted to female cast members mud-wrestling?

    3) What do you do with an itchy arse?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,247 ✭✭✭stevejazzx


    Desmond didn't circle the island. He sailed away from the island, and accidentally ended up back there due to the compass reading being thrown off by the EM field..

    Without checking I'm pretty sure desmond says he sails around the Island because of the compass bearing. It's a little bit of cop from the writers out to say he just didn't see it. Obviously it can only be seen from one side but you would of thought it was at least possible to circum navigate the island even it is impossible to leave it's circle so to speak, after all Jin, Sun and Sayid managed to sail around part of it in season 2.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,663 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    What the **** is going on?
    Have you already got an ending in mind?
    Should I grow a goatee, a full-on beard or just keep clean shaven?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    des meets penny at the stadium,he realises/finds out that penny never got his letters (widmore -her father- kept them without telling him ) he tells her he's going to win widmores race for his pride, she goes off, widmore finds out about desmonds plan to win the boat race and has him imponded on the island using his dharma connections, in time penny finds out about what her father has done to desmond and confronts him, he admits what he's done but tells her that the only thing he's know is that the island is protected by an em field and can't be seen, she meets desmonds physcis freind who comes up with the idea of searching for an em anonaly, hence the 2 italian guys, they miss the first anomaly when desmonds brings down the losties plane but they see the second one - end of season 2 -

    1) Is the french woman just insane or did her crew really go insane?

    2) What's the deal with the giant foot?

    3) What exactly are Dharma doing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    About Desmond and how he didn't see the other island, I've always thought that the fact that he seemed to be as snug as a bug in the cabin after drinking bottles and bottles of Scotch would have had something to do with him not seeing the other island.


  • Posts: 2,874 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Did desmond specifically say he didnt see the island? Maybe he just didnt mention it

    Yea, he probably saw it, just couldn't see anything strange about it so found it to be pointless to bring up

    He didn't see fit to mention that they're not alone and there's an island nearby which may have everything they need? How about the island didn't exist until late in S2? :)

    Seriously, if they never circumnavigated the island.. how did they know they were actually on an island...

    Anyway, I'd ask:

    1) How can they credibly expect us to believe that everyone's path over-lapped before hand?
    2) How can the numbers appear at lots of differnet points, including the lottery, without someone altering reality or some other such nonsense?
    3) Do they honestly expect us to like Jack, given nearly anyone I know thing he's an utter a$$hole?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,830 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    I dont dislike JAck, just hate the way he's in every episode when he doesnt need to be and his story lines most off all get drawn out. I actually like the character. I'm not found of Charlie for reasons Im not too sure...

    Aye, I feel Desmond should be dedicating his time to more important matters rather than trying to save this excuse for a character!

    yeah great theory! Well done on comin up with the link with Dessie's physics mate and Penny. The question is when are we gonna find out...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Kanney


    My three questions would be (if I only had three to ask)
    1)Are you really the writers of LOST?
    2)Really?
    3)Really?

    But seriously, folks.
    1)When will Walt and Michael return?
    2)What is the monster?
    3)When will we see more of the guys in the snow cabin place and Penny?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,508 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    It might have been foggy when Des was circling Lostland?

    My questions three:

    1) Why are you making us hate the characters more and more? You know you are, we used to like not knowing what to make of them, but now you've forced our hands.

    2) Do you really care all that much about what happens or are you already thinking of what your next series/film/car will be? It's okay if you are, we all get a bit bored, especially the creative ones. Just have fun killing it off, don't do what you did to Alias.

    3) If you were a fan, what questions would you want answered most? Ha-ha, turn the tables on 'em with that one!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,646 ✭✭✭cooker3

    Ah that those token new people. That was very irritating the way they were introduced.

    My questions would be:

    1)Do the writers have the end in sight or is this another X-files type fiasco?
    2) CAn they tie all the plot lines together?
    3) Why arent there more Jack in shower scenes (surely the greatest moment in lost) just having one is shameful....:rolleyes:
