OK so there's three guys in a room. The first is a geeky sci-fi fan who comes up with interesting ideas like branding sharks. The second is a writer who knows how to build suspense. The third is a mentally retarded person in charge of writing the script the other two dictate to him. That's who writes Lost.
This lost in time stuff is bananas. I generally think time travel is a ludicrous concept. But the space-time continuum/magnetism/physics could prove to be rather interesting if they actually decide to stick with this incarnation of the show. I wonder if they will pull in anti-matter, dark matter, neutrinos, quarks, and quantum physics into the mix. I think this is the great appeal of Lost, 2/3 of this is interesting things not really done well on the other 10,000 channels. That last retarded 1/3 kills me though.
We should have known when the redundancy of numbers as parts of the plot from the inception that this is a program by one super geeky dude. The numbers became a character even. At least as much as the black smoke, Jacob (where's Jacob's Ladder), or Jack's drunken father. If this is in the end just all some "inside the computer" BS I am going to hang myself.

Oh snap, Sure enough they are playing time games. I was however shocked that it appeared to be the year 2004 on the ship. I really thought it would 2007 or 8.
So i am still on the button synchonized time thing and when it exploded Desmonds Consiousness got knocked out of linear time. His consiousness then bounced arround trying to find its proper place in linear time. Remember though he met a guide along the way. That was fucking berserker.
One thing for me is that now the show has fully commited to being a full on sci-fi extravanganza. Theres no reasonable explanation for everything like the producers promised. Now time dialation is a real thing but sending your mind back in time to talk to some guy is straight star trek shit. So that means there is time travel, then theres aliens, immortals, dimensions, ghosts, etc etc. Now anhything is possible on Lost. This I think will kill the show for many. Luckily I am a Sci-fi guy. But heres the ethic of creative Science Fiction. You are telling a story that is unbound from the known rules of reality. This is not a liscense to do whatever you want. You must mainatain some form of consistency. You must establish the rules of this other reality and STICK TO IT. I am scared that much of Lost is just an serialised Twliight Zone. There were no rules to the Twillight Zone, it was just a place where everything was wacky. Which is fine for one off shows. But the explanation for everything cant be "The island is supernaturl". There has to be rules damn it.

I am a sci-fi guy too. Probably why I am glad to see the new developments, as little as they make sense and as divergent from the rest of the show that they are. It will be fun to watch and it will gets farther away from plots about Walt and his Dad, the Korean domestic strife, and whatever Kate is to whoever cares. I actually worry that they will realize that Star Trek plots are not mainstream fodder and they will revert to Kate crying in Sawyer's arms while Jack drinks tequila somewhere else. I can see why they introduce new characters, if feels like they are done with these ones. To me anyway.

This show is insane. I wish I could move my house like Linus can move the island.
We found out who the dead guy was. It was Locke. How the fuck did he get off the island?
Is Linus trying to get back to the island? Will "the Island" let him go back?
Why the fuck does Jack want to go back to "the Island." If I was Jack I would be like, "Fuck the island."
What about all the people who left the island on the boat with the scientist guy?
Is next season going to be them trying to get back to "the Island?"

Is it possible that this island is some kind of spaceship?

Thats funny. There was totally a complicaed theory about how the island is a spaceship on the ABC message boards a few years back.
Ok, So the islands special EM properties create a Cassimar effect which apprently is a requisite to stablizing a wormhole. So thats what they did. Ben went through a wormhole in time space to africa. And the island went through a wormhole in time. Me thinks Richard has done this before. Thats how richard gets to america and back. Also thats probably why Richard appears to be forever young. Hes not, he ages like everyone else. He just bounces arround through time. BANANAS
Now in most psuedo-scientific explanations Wormhole are shortcuts through space via a 4th spacial dimension. Can the other just do this shit. Is that why they dont leave tracks and seem to appear and dissapear at will. When they speak in that 4th dimension do we only hear whispers. NOTE: According to Carl Sagan two dimensional creatures would hear voices from the 3rd dimension as whispers. Hmmm.
This whole shit is totally nuts.

I have to agree about the wormhole/time theory. It is the only thing that can explain Richard's never-changing appearance. Especially since it was revealed that Richard visited with Locke when Locke was a little boy. I just found this on Youtube. I can't vouch for its authenticity, but it does sound convincing. Remember when Sawyer leans over to Kate and whispers something in her ear before he jumps out of the chopper? GET TO Da CHOPPA! This guy thinks he knows what Sawyer says.

In the movie The Forbidden Planet the hero, played by Leslie Nielson, is JJ Adams. I wonder if that was close enough to the name of Lost creator JJ Abrams that he grew up idolizing that movie and character.
On the flip side, what if the gear Ben turns unleashed the genie locked underneath the island. Oh no!
I guess this means three years from now they will address Sawyer's daughter. Just another among a long line of things thrown together to intentionally throw us off from piecing together the things that matter. Remember when the numbers were important?

When does Lost start again? I thought shows started whenever kiddies started school?

the problem with Lost is two things. One the last seasons are now short seasons with like 16 eps instead of 22. And that they want to run uninterrupted. No repeats. So insetad of running like 30 weeks. They only run 16. So i think it actual starts in January which is really fucking lame.

Set your "Lost" countdown clocks to 75 days: ABC has set the show's season premiere date.
The show will open its fifth season with a two-hour premiere starting at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday, Jan. 21. It marks a return to Wednesdays for the show, which aired after "Grey's Anatomy" on Thursday nights at the end of last season.
Other than the date and the episode titles -- "Because You Left" and "The Lie" -- ABC hasn't released any information about the new season. It's expected to run for 17 episodes -- with the 17th partially making up for last year's strike-shortened 14-episode season -- which would put the season finale in late April or early May.
