There’s No Place Like Home, Part 1
2 months, 1 week ago by WillRead more: Lost Episodes, season 4
Lost’s two part, three hour season finale begins tonight, and if last week was any indication, then the final 3 hours of Lost this season are going to be incredible. We get one hour tonight, followed by a two week break, then we get the remaining two hours of the finale. It is still difficult, at this point, to determine why only the six get off the Island – and further, why just those six. We will definitely start to get a clearer picture of that tonight.
Spoiler Warning
The showdown between the survivors and the freighter people begins.
A relatively vague (imagine that!) show description, but based on what I know the general flow of tonight’s episode and the finale will be about how the Oceanic Six get off the Island, along with flash forwards detailing their homecoming of sorts.

Instead of speculating & spoiling (no previews for me), I’ll just start with my finale wish:
1) I want to see the Others that went to the Temple get back in to the mix somehow.
2) I want more Orchid clues/insight.
3) I want Sawyer & Miles to do something brilliant together (soon).
4) I want Ben to pull off of his super-duper, aha, you all fell for it, plans.
5) I want a few more ideas about The Four-Toed Statue.

I wonder if tonight’s episode will have the island be the present or the past….watch for those “whoosh” sounds.
Also, how long has it been since we have heard “PREVIOUSLY ON LOST”, I can’t remember, if not this week surely in 2 weeks.

Oh how I wish we could have the whole 3 hours tonight, and that it would really be THREE COMMERCIAL FREE HOURS.
Comment 11, posted 2 months, 1 week ago - Quote and reply
So, do you think we will FINALLY find out who is in that damn coffin tonight??? Yes, yes, i said the C word…i have this funny feeling that it’s going to be Locke. Not quite sure why or how,just a feeling I got today.
I’m also looking forward to finding out how the 6 actually get off the island and back home.
Will we see the Orchid tonight…find out where it is and see the inside?
And I’m with you DocH on fiding out where the Temple and the Others are.

i can’t wait for tonight’s episode.
this season has been really good so far and hopefully this episode will be just as great, with a little less comercials.

I am interested to hear the top few items on everyone’s “Wish List” for the 3 season finale episodes. Stuff that will tide you over until Jan 2009… not the big stuff you want for the series finale - 37 episodes from now, but the smaller stuff.

OK, here’s mine:
1. What is the 4 toed stature?
2. What is the temple?
3. What happens to the people who stay on the island?
4. What are the back-stories for
a. Danielle
b. Any freighter tots
c. Richard Alpert
If we could find this out, I would be content for a (very) little while.

Good one. I’ll add this one to my list too. Seems like we got them tossed in our supper dish really early in the season, and we got all excited at the interesting new ‘kibble-n-bits’ they added to the show, but production really hasn’t returned/FB’d to any of them, except when we see Dan with FB Des in “The Constant’.

I am guessing they will keep us hooked on the “Numbers” for at least 35 more episodes.
As for the eye-liner, who knows? He may not have to wear it anymore… once he learns Tom is dead. (sorry… bad joke.)

jaime brought up “the coffin” and i think that is a reference to the flash forward where jack went to a funeral home. i too have wondered who is in the coffin and i would assume(probably wrongly) that is one of the “oceanic six”. does any one else have any guesses or theories?

5. Charlie’s corpse displayed for PJ :)
6. Anything “WAAAALT”, (except Michael screaming it of course)
My coffin guess is Desmond. I too wish for freighter backstories ( damn writer’s strike). They said in a podcast they got cut this year but were planning for next year.

The casket has been on everyones mind for a year… they may be bringing it back for finale time too. Hope they don’t tho. It’s been OA6 this year and we heard that two others survived the flight, but did not survive until rescue. That’s two we have to figure out plus the casket. Three bodies to account for???
I could see where Claire might show-up as MIA from the OA8.
Des and Michael are freighter-bound. I think you could rationalize that one of those two are in the casket, now that things are going poorly where they are. The casket scene is about three years into the future. Maybe the freighter is stuck in time that long, before it is recovered. Michael is known to the OA6 as a traitor… Des as a trusted friend. Why would no one go to Des’ memorial service? Unless he really messes things up on the freighter.

I will be REALLY disappointed if the vision of Claire and the baby getting on the helicopter does not come true because then Charlie died for absolutely nothing….of course we never saw the vision so maybe Desmond lied because HE wanted off the island!
Regardless I already am 99% sure she isn’t getting on no helicopter…so they better find a way to bring MY Charlie back!!

I think it’s Michael for two reasons: 1) no one really cares for him because he left his friends with the scary others bound and with guns to their heads(which is why Kate said, “why would I go to HIS funeral?”) and 2) it’s in an African American neighborhood and he’s African American.
Comment 30, posted 2 months, 1 week ago - Quote and reply
I have to go by my memory because there are so many posts, but I’m pretty sure we discussed the newspaper clipping about the death that Jack had in the Season 3 finale and it had a “Jo” which some of us speculated was John Locke, but later learned of Michael’s new identity as Kevin Johnson, which Jack and Kate are privy to (somehow). The newspaper death announcement said he committed suicide (though it must have been a murder because we know Michael cannot commit suicide)…
Comment 31, posted 2 months, 1 week ago - Quote and reply
1. I hate to really backtrack but I really want to know Libby’s story and why we saw her interact with several losties.
2. I also would like the tots back stories, especially Charlotte’s and Miles.
3. Of course, the coffin (I think it’s Michael/Kevin).
Comment 32, posted 2 months, 1 week ago - Quote and reply
I looked it up…
“The newspaper clipping is an obituary that Jack ripped out of the Los Angeles Times. The article is about a man from New York who was found dead in Los Angeles. He first notices it on a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. The man in the article seems to be someone both Kate and Jack know as Kate does not want to go to the funeral. However, the producers have said (despite what some people have deciphered from the article) that it would be re-written.

Well, at least he COULDN’T, but if the island is done with you, then who knows? But Michael has a mom and a son, so why wouldn’t ANYONE come to his funeral? I had thought too that it would be Michael, but now I really don’t know.

Because after the island “Michael goes to his mother’s house, who is caring for Walt. Michael’s mom doesn’t understand why they showed up at her house two months after the plane crash, and why she can’t tell anyone or call them by their real names. She also does not know why Walt is so distraught and having nightmares” (from Lostpedia).
Comment 35, posted 2 months, 1 week ago - Quote and reply
Okay, since we are talking about the coffing… I think it is Michael. I think he was finally able to do himself in. Whatever hold the island had may no longer be in effect, as Rita stated. No Walt or Mom? Maybe they didn’t know about it or maybe he has alienated (sp???) himself and they don’t want to go. My money is on Michael. RIP Michael!

Re: New York… “Michael’s Oceanic plane tickets that he receives from Brian Porter are tickets for flights from Sydney to New York. He is the only character we know of that was on the plane but was not going to Los Angeles”.
My wish for tonight is no more curve balls. Just one hour of answers.

Well, maybe (if it is Michael) his mom doesn’t know he is dead. I can’t imagine her NOT coming if she were able to do so. She might have to say it is a family member, or make up a story, but she would be there, and Walt with her. Most likely she doesn’t know the name he has been using, and was not notified of the death. Even a confused and distraught mom is still a mom.

During comic con, they released an new orientation video for the station called the Orchid. In quick terms, the Asian looking Doc is talking and holding a rabbit with the no. 15 painted on it. While he’s talking somthing happens and suddenly there is another rabbit with no. 15 on it. There is some yelling about who screwed up and not to let the rabbits near each other. People are assuming that the expirementing going on was time travel and someone messed up and overlapped times creating the same rabbit from two times appearing at the same time…….

Okay my anticipation to this new ep is *Killing* me… but alas…
I think the body in the coffin may be some one we have not yet met that maybe only Jack know (like some one on the freighter, Others at the temple, kids on the flight) that Kate never particularly feels close on island so doesn’t feel obliged to go to the funeral or something along those lines.

We’re still a long way from all six of the O6 being in one place at the same time. Sayid and Kate are captives of Mr. Eyeliner. Jack is with Sawyer somewhere else. Sun is on the freighter with Aaron. Hurley is outside the Orchid Station.
When I saw Jin on the Zodiac, I figured that Daniel would freak out and not want to take it back to the island again and that Jin would step in and do it and that is how he would end up separated from Sun. But obviously everything is still up for grabs.

Oh my LORD! Flash back, flash forwards, and the present… MAN! I can’t wait until the 2 hour. I am glad Jack found out about Clair being is sister… So she isn’t dead? She is with Jack’s dad? Or IS she dead and that is why she is with her dad?
Maybe they move the island, the freighter finds it and Sun gets off right before the explosion which moves the island again.
I don’t like the Oceanic 6 Lie!

If Jin dies it would seem that Des dies too!! I hope that doesn’t happen without a Des/Penny reunion. I am trying to figure out how Sun is gonna get off that boat as well. Maybe she decides to use a tube or something and the helicopter flies over and sees her. Still I don’t think it’s actually gonna blow cause like I said….what happens to Desmond?
