There is not much time left now, the season finale of Lost season 2 airs in about 3 hours.

This is the official description of the Lost episode “Live Together, Die Alone”:

After discovering something odd just offshore, Jack and Sayid come up with a plan to confront “The Others” and hopefully get Walt back. Meanwhile, Eko and Locke come to blows as Locke makes a potentially cataclysmic decision regarding the “button” and the hatch, on the two-hour season finale.

Will they manage to save Walt? Are Jack and Sayid going to stop Michael from taking them to The Others? What’s up with the boat that approached the island at the end of last weeks Lost episode? What made Oceanic flight 815 crash? What happens when they don’t push the button in the hatch?

There are a lot of unanswered questions, but hopefully the two hour Lost season finale will answer many of them.

Feel free to discuss the episode in the comments of this post!

And for those who are wondering, yes, there will be a third season of Lost.

    im watching the show. first hour all recap?

  3. Yup first hour is a recap, cant wait. I really want to know the mystery why they crashed on this island.

  4. im done watching it, it got over an hour ago for me

  5. recap is finally over, can’t wait….

  6. recap JUST started here… My mom is just finishing up watching the whole thing on the west coast. so far shes called me with all kinds of questions that I dont know the answer to… UGH!

  7. what is going on…there is 10 minutes left in the show….I can not believe what just happened

  8. who in the hell is Henry

  9. wow, what was with the russians?

  10. “With enough money and determination…”

    Looks like the island’s been found.

    Also, I’m a bit hazy on the WHidmore connection, what was it again?

    Yeah, I didnt understand the ending. Did you?

  12. Me says Charles Widmore is the runner of this whole thing. That would explain how Penny found out about Desmond, and why those Russian Antarctic guys were looking for the island.

    Holy crap, LOST is FOUND! Wooohhooooohooo.

    Ahem. Best cliffhangers (plural) EVAR. =P

  13. who are the people that Henry is associated with?

  14. The Others. ;)

  15. I am still a bit hazy, who is Charles Widmore, I was at work for the first 20 minutes. OMG I am like wow and lost all in one. I mean, how are the others the good guys, what did he mean by that? and how is michael going to find help? Where the hell are they? and what is with Des’s girlfriend. What is the connection to her and the island??? Someone please fill me in?>????

  16. who were those guys in the snowy place

  17. I’m thinking Fake Henry is large and in charge. His presence was pretty huge on the docks.

    What was that thing that fell from the sky? Was it a box that said ‘quarantine’ on it, or just the old hatch door?

  18. For those of you who are still confused, the artist formerly known as Henry Gale, is the short little white guy the Danielle(forgive my spelling) trapped in the net, then proceeded to shoot w/ her crossbow. He then had an exciting tour of the inside of the hatch armory, free of charge! then Michael went on his little hunting expedition in the hatch, and let him go. Then he shows up from a boat on the docks. Kudos to all who prophicized that he was the leader, that seems evident.

    It wasin fact, the old hatch door.

  20. Yeah, I am trying to figure out who Henry is and who those people are. Why did they take michael in the first place? Why did they want those 3 characters?
    This show is awesome, but it leaves with too many questions. I guess thats why it keeps it interesting.?

  21. but who is charles whidmore??

  22. What exactly can we say on this site? So, did Desmond’s girlfriend really just try to find him? On the island? I still have no clue who Henry and friends are. And the captured folks? Do you think the others will just release them back to reality? I’m LOST and confused!

  23. Charles Widmmore is the lady at the end of the shows father. She is Desmond’s old girlfriend and Charles didnt want Desmond around his daughter. He tried to buy Desmond off early in the show that you missed.
    (And leave his daughter alone)

  24. I KNOW I’ve seen that name Widmore before. Where the heck was it?

  25. hey i just translated the egyptian hieroglyphuics from when the countdown ran out and vaguely it spells “shiahi” muslim connection… does that mean anythiny to anyone else?

  26. I am lost and confused, too. Someone who knows or understands something, help us out here.

  27. so is lock and desmond dead, was the huge flash and odd sound an explosion???????????

  28. I think the henry is fighting to keep the island secret, but now the secret is out. that is why he is a good guy. and whidmore is searching for the magnet as a weapon. why those three?? i don’t know. great show keeps u watchin

  29. I believe the hieroglyphics spell out “Cause to die”

  30. Widmore is the father of the girl that desmond was supposed to marry.

    Henry is the one they captured, u kno the dude who claimed to have gotten here on a ballon, his friends on the dock where the others

  32. This answer sponsered by Widmore Labs Pregnancy Test, Big ‘Ol Construction Building De Widmore, and one podcast mention to “look out for Widmore in the future”.

  33. hey i missed the ending preview can someone fill me in i just saw some girl on a phone and thats it please help!

    omg chris thanks dude, that makes so much sense now!

  35. why “cause to die”? where did u get that from?

  36. Thanks Sylvo

  37. That was everything I wanted and more!
    I just knew an EMP was responsible for the plane crash! That’s been the best theory ever since Season 1.

    They left a lot of loose ends:

    What about Sayid/Jin/Son? They know everything is fake now. Sayid is still the smartest Lostie. I can’t remember him ever being wrong.

    What about Locke/Eko/Desmond? (Desmond likely isn’t gone, they wouldn’t bring his woman in at end if he didn’t have a large part to play. Locke will be fine, we never learned how he was paralyzed and I do anticipate that’s going to tie together several things pre-crash.)

    Can Hurley make it back on his own? Will they just kill him on his way back to the Losties?

    Michael and Walt? Will they head towards bearing 325 for “rescue” or will they come back?

    Calvin as the former US General was a nice twist. How he died was great scripting, and great acting by Desmond.

    The pulse! The Russians “I think we found it.” WOW. Awesome.

    Too much to talk about now. Will rewatch tomorrow and enjoy it all over again!

  38. the pulse was released. this was protecting the island from people finding it. the dharma project was just a big ruse to keep the people there, but in reality they are protecting the island.

  39. It was on another web site that had translated it when it first appeared

  40. Apparently, Desmond ex is spending some cash to have the russians monitor for electromagnetic anamolys. This will help her to find desmond.
    As for the crash of flight 814:
    when desmond didn’t enter the code when he was on his little rampage, the electromagnet basically pulled the metal plane from the sky.
    It seems that widmore is content on trying to keep desmond on the island so he can’t marry his daughter. Meanwhile she trys to find desmond

  41. desmond was in the british army but was imprisoned (um why? “disobeying orders”? ) when he got out, charles whidmore a wealthy old guy was out there waiting for him, and gave him money in return for never seeing his daughter again (he also stopped all of desmond’s letters from reaching her). the daugther was the girl at the end and was at the track.

  42. So here are some thoughts:

    Walt - My theory - they had harvested some tissue from him (per hanso corp) …something to do with his psychic prowess…

    Maybe they want to harvest some tissue from the people captured

    Electromagnetic theory seems to be right on - and that was some sort of ultraviolet blast at the end…

    Electromagnetism is a component of string theory. And string theory is the concept of multiple alternate universes existing side by side….

  43. ARE YOU PEOPLE BLIND??

    jESUS… YOU DIDNT EVEN MAKE THE BIG CONNECTION. DID YOU SEE desmond show up at the track. did you see who pulled up behind them? umm, ya that was jack. from when they met in season 1.

    Oh, since you don’t remember season 1. Let me rewind you. Did you remember how jack performed surgery on a girl? She had a fiance that left her and then she fell in love with Jack. Through many episodes later we found out that she eventually left Jack and we never knew why?

    Well that’s b/c she found good old desmond at the race track. PAM is jack’s ex-fiance and desmond’s long lost love. PAM has lost both Jack and Desmond from ‘mysterious’ disappearances and is now on the hunt for the island. How does she know there is an island?? well duh, he freakin father is running the show.

    Now the others? and then being the ‘good guys’ and what exactly they do. im open to a number of theories.

  44. damn that was like 10 posts in teh time i took to post…

    Heh, well, that is it! Two guys with major cabin fever, in a small research station, presumably in SIberia (or other desolate arctic place), detected an electromagnetic thingie, called up said girl on the phone, and you saw the rest.

    umm this theory is wrong and full of holes.. It just doesnt make sense this way. I agree with steve

  47. read my post.

  48. good observation mike.
    I did see jack in the backround, that was no surprize. I did recall them speaking while thy were running the stairsin a previous episode. You make a great connection between jack and desmond!

  49. Wow and I mean Wow we are going to be LOST all over the world. Desmonds girl Ms. Whitmore paid enough money to find her man hidden on a huge magnetic island by her Evil father who is part of Dharma. So we have all summer to think about where Sayid is and what happened to Locke and Echo…Alive or Dead? I think alive since Charlie was able to survive but I am curious if Desmond made it out…
    Many more questions coming…
    What did Walt teach the others?
    Is Libby aka Elizabeth a Dharma plant..with Desmond and Hurley???
    Do you really think Michael and Walt are free?

  50. Just wanted to clarify something. The men were speaking Portuguese not Russian.

  51. it seems also in the letter she wrote about one person to save everyone that she new all this would happen. remember we never saw desmond hit the water when the boat crashed. he may have been placed there by whidmores people. what was up with the foot statue with 4 toes??? made the island is full of radiation and caused a race of people with 4 toes. and the others are decendants of this race.

  52. um…okay, but why would an electromagnetic anomlys (sp) tell her and the Russians where Desmond was? In other words, what does an electromagnetic anything have to do with Desmond?

  53. Michael and Walt just sailing off seems a little too easy. After all the trouble of getting Walt and keeping him, and then he was just “more than they bargained for?” Its weird just to let the two of them just sail away.

    And Miss Whidmore is not Jack’s woman, two totally different actresses as well, there’s no real connection there.

  54. Well that’s b/c she found good old desmond at the race track. PAM is jack’s ex-fiance and desmond’s long lost love. PAM has lost both Jack and Desmond from ‘mysterious’ disappearances and is now on the hunt for the island. How does she know there is an island?? well duh, he freakin father is running the show.

    ummm, i think you’re thinking of sarah. and no one is “PAM.” the woman who followed him was penny. they are two different people. people aren’t finding your BIG CONNECTION because it doesn’t exist.

    wtf, are u crazy?

  56. As someone has just mentioned, I think that somehow she must have found out here fathers plan, and now is trying to rescue them.

    That sure wasnt the same actress who played Jacks ex. That actress was the chick from Boston Legal.

  58. I think some people are on here are confusing what they saw, seriously though, what was with the big statue. Personally I think that whidmore was the one behind the Dharma Initiative, and that Henry doesnt want anyone on the island. Thats a fact so far. But there are other holes to be filled :D

  59. Mike - It’s Pen (Penny), not Pam

    mmhmmm…thank you…totally agree

  61. PAM is not Jack’s ex-wife

  62. is lost still gona be on or was that its last epsiode?
    And who died(eko and lock or just desmond?)

  63. Mike - I’m not blind and neither is my family. Pam is Pam, Desmond’s babe is Penny and she looks nothing like Pam and has a Brit. accent. Also we saw Pam’s family in the Engagement Party scene and they were fairly American. Sorry!

  64. What was up with libby in the insane asylum several episode ago with hurley?
    Any theories??

  65. The “other” with the beard….have we seen him before? I mean, when he took off his beard, should we have recognized him?

  66. well how would desmond be in love with her to if jack didnt know him even tho he met Pam a long time ago in the surgeroy room?

  67. also, 325 on the compass…someone who knows something about navigating should decipher that one…are they in the B. Triangle?

    they knew earlier in the series that his beard was fake. I wonder why they are hiding so much. Was the huts thier actual home or a decoy? And why did the hatch have a rectangle on it. Also there was nothing inside? Anyone care to explain?

  69. besides , jack went to run when he thought he had messed up the surgery, he thought she was gonna die, couldn’t have possily been the same chick

  70. Maybe the statue was the foot of a cartoon character and the island was going to be a giant theme park, but at the last minute became a top secret, whatver-the-heck-you-call-it.

    Let’s face it, the four-toed foot statue is completely wide open for interpretation, it’s way too early to even try to wrap our minds around.

    Sawyer did mention aliens…

    thats what im tryin to say

  72. i believe that tonight show brought about many questions for us dedicated viewers. i am still a bit cuious to know why “elizabeth” ..libby was so willing to let desmond have her boat?? .. if i had a boat i would pawn it first before giving it away for free.

    anothee thought i had is how would Pen (desmonds lova’) know that desmond was stuck on an island with a huge magnet? i believe that her family produces the huge magnets for the hanso foundation and the ” chess players in the snow ” are the watchers to make sure that they dont break.. or they are trying to find a magnet that was stolen !!! ohhhhhhh ahhhhh ??

    also, sorry.. but the map that was painted on the door with detergent, was that real.. was the person that was with demond know about all the hatches ???

    and what did one snow man say to the other snow man ?

    (hi jennifer : ) )

  73. First of all Desmond’s girl is named Penny not Pam. Second, Jack’s fiance’s name is sarah.

    I think he was one of the ones who took Walt away from Michael on the boat at the end of season 1.

  75. Heres another problem…walt and dumb Michael have been seperated and now they are in the boat…now, you think Walt would start explaining what he meant when he said “they arent who they say they are”, or maybe he could explain WHAT IN THE HELL THEY HAVE BEEN DOING WITH HIM ALL THIS TIME…but no…him and his papa are hush hush…staring at the poor 3 hotties he gave up for….who knows what

    hey thats is kinda true but how is pam dad in the islands control and were wher all those kids taken too

  77. we still need a true decipher of the glyphs…. my degree is in general archaeology, not egyptology…

    All of the ‘Others’ beachfront community was fake and just for show, probably for Michael’s benefit the whole time. Kind of an elaborate ruse, but isn’t that the whole island? The ‘Others’ hatch was just a fake one, along with the huts.

  79. smells like carrots

  80. First of all Desmond’s girl is named Penny not Pam. Second, Jack’s fiance’s name is sarah.

    my fault with the pam =)

  82. whats up mik, why did u repost my repost?

  83. I dont know if I can buy the whole aliens thing, but I thought maybe that end shot where the camera was focused on the stars, then panned down to the fire and sparks…was supposed to be a hint.

    I like the theme park idea…where is the rest of the statue?

  84. i need a recap of about the first 1 hour of the lost cause i was kinda gone during it =(

  85. Ok, the tubes were going into a big pile. No one was reading them. No one was watching “them”…in the hatch.
    Did not-pushing-the-button, really bring the plane down?
    Did the hatch blow-up… we did see the hatch door land on the beach.
    Did not-pushing-the-button THIS time bring down ANOTHER plane?
    Was the bright light and loud noise a force field going down; that was hiding the island?

    Where IS Jimmy Hoffa?

  86. Bermuda Triangle!! Explains why plains and boats disappear…also, why he told Michael that they can leave but not find their way back…you can’t find your way “in” the Bermuda Triangle!!

  87. OOPS, spelled planes wrong…but you get the point.

  88. I totally agree with the statue thing, how it is too early to even guess, but personally I think that locke eko and desmond are still alive, but I beleive that one of them will die. Not in the next episode but in some to come, from explosion related injuries. Locke told eko that he was wrong, but where was charlie, how did he escape?

  89. Yeah whats the deal with the statue? People have asked. Anyone got any guesses?

    when is the next episode?

  92. the b triangle is near the bahamas… not a direct routwe from australia to cali

  93. ur right, jimmy hoffa created the island back in the 80’s, and planned his comeback witha hit tv show, and its a fact that hoffa had only four toes on his left foot!

    Haha, just kidding.. HEHE

  94. The dates on the computer print out…I can’t remember exactly but the format look like mmddyy00:00. and the year part said 04. so we now for sure it takes place in 2004

  96. but too get to las angles from australia u have to go that way right?

  97. Weird, I /thought/ I was replying to Amy, sorry Twiceborn!

  98. I felt sorry for locke with that “im sorry” look on his face…but his line “I was wrong” made me laugh…ya think?

  99. Maybe so, but what else makes sense in this whole LOST thing. They moved the BD!
