Actually, I did not recognise her at all. Her hair was totally different and she seemed much more attractive…Thanks.

Where, did you get this from???

Oh,BTW, did anyone else get a chuckle from the “We are in a snowglobe” comment?

Kelvin Inman and Joe Inman are twin brothers. Both played by the same character.

Red Chief???:)

It reminded me of that comic Walt was reading early in season 1 that had an island under a bubble.

Re: Widmore Industries
Here’s where the ARG “The Lost Experience” comes in; apparently, Charles Widmore is a partner of sorts for Hanso. He sits (sat?) on the Board of Directors for Hanso. Widmore Labs provides much of the Dharma-branded food, they were the manufacturer or sponsor of Henry Gale’s balloon as well as the pregnancy kit used by Sun. Speculation exists that Libby/Elizabeth’s dead rich husband was actually Charles Widmore.

Source for much of this info is www.lostpedia.com: a wiki set up to track Lost as well as the ARG.

Re: Twins
One of the rabbit holes for “The Lost Experience” is a book entitled “Evil Twin.” Speculation is that Libby wasn’t the one in the institution with Hugo, it was her “Evil Twin.” Personally, I think Inman is indeed the same guy who worked with Sayid in Iraq.

The meta-media stuff. On the phone messages that were part of the first “Hanso Foundation” commercial during an earlier episode they mention both Widmore Industries and the Korean outfit that Sun’s father owns. Both are mentioned again on the website under one of the reveals.

OK, I watch the show, I don’t mess with the other stuff…

Plus she called him David not Charles…

Yeah, that was pretty funny. I think the producers have cited St Elsewhere (the TV show, kids, not the Gnarls Barkley CD) and its infamous finale as an example of how they are NOT going to end Lost–so this was just a funny little meta-line.

Great finale, I thought. I’m not with teh haterz. They did pretty much what I expected and even hoped for: answered some questions, raised some new ones, made me anxious already for the Season 3 opener.

But one question. If the plane really did go down “by accident”, as it seems now, and was not guided there or placed there by Hanso/Dharma/The Others…then all these mysterious backstory coincidences, reasons why these passengers seem to have been “chosen” to be here…don’t they kind of lose all meaning now? Because doesn’t it appear as if there’s no way that Hanso Etc could have known this plane would go down?

Definitely. When the subtitles said “please”, I heard “por favor”, not “pazhalsta”.

I think you just solved the whole show.

I don’t think the quarantine door was “blown” off the hatch by an explosion. I think the EM pulse threw it way out there. It would have been totally silent (although it had that weird screech/squeal noise).

Also, from http://www.hansocareers.com/ they are “hiring” in five locations: a personal assistant in Copenhagen, an organ courier in Santa Barbara CA (Bill D?), an art therpaist in Iceland, a simian veterinarian in Tanzania, and an anger management director in Korea.

It makes me wonder if the people on the island were actually chosen in advance based on certain traits, and the Hanso people contrived to have this specific cast of characters on the island.

I like the twins theories.

Yeah but that’s the whole thing I’m wondering about in the post right above yours. If the plane only crashed because Desmond didn’t press the button–how could Hanso have known that would happen? They wouldn’t contrive a plane to arrive there without deliberately forcing the plane down…which last night’s ep made seem wasn’t the case…

I should make it clear I don’t hate the show at all. Just I was disappointed with the finale. More specifically, the last five or ten minutes.

If they ended it on a shot of Desmond turning the key, having the screen go white with LOST appearing as black letters and with the sound reversed of the “thud” which normally accompanies it, I would have been pumped to see Season 3.

Now, I’m just hoping the premiere will redeem itself by blowing my mind.

I’m the exact opposite, that would have pissed me off to no end.

H.

Ditto. I would have been pissed at the writers for doing that…

I think the season finale was great!

Man, I was reading some of those on ABC’s LOST message boards. Some really wacky and far out stuff being thrown around over there. Most of the “twins” theory seems to be based off the “Bad Twin” book and events within it, which the producers have said will not impact the show. They claim all the meta-media stuff is only fun add-on stuff, not intergal to the plot in any way.

My favorite stuff has to do with speculation about the giant statue foot. Everything from “It’s Atlantis!” to “It’s Aliens!” to “It’s A Wormhole in Time!” to “It’s viral marketing for Dr. Scholl’s!”.

Personally, my own thoery took a major shot last night with the revelation that the Swan was indeed doing something important and that the Pearl was actually the “joke” experiment. Still, I think the general idea that Hanso/Dharma had projects running on that island, one of them went bad (probably genetic related), and now the Others are trying to clean up the mess and possibly cure themselves in the process while Hanso supplies them from outside still seems to fit.

In fact, with Penny (Desmond’s girlfriend) actively looking for Desmond by monitoring EM pulses, it would seem to indicate that she has knowledge of what the island/project was dealing with. It makes me wonder if she’ll dispatch her guys to go investigate the coordinates, only to find Michael and Walt floating in the Others boat, out of gas in the middle of the ocean. Could be a chance for Michael to redeem himself by offering to help find the island again and rescue everyone (once he knows Walt is safe that is).

Another theory I liked had the magnetic field protecting the island from being discovered, and now that it’s gone Penny’s guys should be able to find the island. Makes some sense. Of course, we have to wonder if the electromagnetic pulse Desmond let happen brought down the LOSTies plane, what did this last one bring to the island…

The Hubble Space Telescope.

That will prompt NASA and the US government to try and find it, and when they do they will find an island full of Others armed with Gauss Rifles led by a sword wielding Michael Ironside, who turns out to be Jack and Kate’s real immortal father from another planet.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

When the “QUARANTINE” metal door was tossed into the sand, I thought it was a piece of another airplane falling from the sky.

It would have made an interesting plot twist if it was.

Libby is a common nickname for Elizabeth – I see no reason to believe it isn’t supposed to be the same Libby. One interesting note – she said her husband’s name is David, and David is the name of Hugo’s invisible friend, and Libby was shown to be a patient in that hospital in a few flashbacks. What that all means, I have no idea…

Ummmmm…

Well, he had a visible sailboat…
