Movieline Attempts to Tie Up Almost 100 of Lost's 'Loose Ends'
Who was Libby's previous husband?
Some dude. I presume he was a little crazy-making.
Who are the skeletons in the polar bear cave?
Some people who got stone-cold killed by polar bears, I'm guessing.
Where did the toy truck come from?
Maybe it belonged to someone who got stone-cold killed by a polar bear?
How did Locke and Eko escape the hatch explosion?
A valid question, although I've come to expect that with Lost, explosions, implosions, donkey wheels, and sojourns into a tunnel of mystic light will all spit people in unpredictable ways.
Why couldn't Locke talk after the hatch explosion?
I mean, dude was just in an explosion. Give him a minute.
Why did the monster kill Mr. Eko, and why didn't he just do it the first time they met?
Perhaps the monster thought Eko would be of use, and then when he was so defiant to the monster in their second encounter, it was lights-out time.
What did Mr. Eko mean when he said, "You're next?" as he died?
He meant a lot more regulars were cannon fodder.
How disgusting was it when Hurley was eating from that tub of ranch dressing?
Very.
Why did Yemi's body disappear?
Dunno, maybe a polar bear ate it?
Why does Danny say Jack wasn't on Jacob's list when in fact his name was clearly written in the cave?
Ben was faking his communications to Jacob, so whatever he told the Others about the list was made up. Even Dogen didn't know who the candidates were until Hurley gave him the ankh with the list of names on it.
Why can't women on the island have babies?
Before the bomb went off and triggered an electromagnetic explosion deemed "The Incident," women could have babies just fine. Afterwards, they couldn't. See a connection?
What was that Russian letter in Mkhail's typewriter?
Some letter? Dude was lonely, he probably wanted to be pen pals with Ms. Klugh.
Why was the supply drop menu hidden behind a game of computer chess?
Bad Dharma planning. I blame Radzinsky!
Remember when Ben gave Juliet that weird mark as punishment? What was that about?
It was about her doing something traitorous to the Others. What more do you need on that one?
What's the deal with Jack's tattoos?
Let's please not revisit the Bai Ling episode, OK?
How did Desmond's monk know Eloise?
Key parties at Widmore's mansion.
How did Ben see his dead mother?
Fair enough. Dead mothers often appear on the island -- even the Man in Black saw his. Unanswered question #3!
Who decided to kill the Others in a purge?
It was most likely a grim brainstorming session between Ben and Richard.
What happened to Ben's childhood friend, Annie?
She wasn't important to the story of the show.
Why did Desmond have a false vision of Claire and Aaron leaving the island on a helicopter?
To be fair, Aaron did leave the island on a helicopter. But yeah, the Claire thing was either the subject of a rewrite or Swayer's blond tresses mucking with Desmond's vision.

Ray guns now exist, we just havent gotten them quite Start Trek powerful.
battery pack 1400 joule is nothing to sneeze at though.
Ridiculous. Half of your answers are "A wizard did it." Let's just accept that the show was a whole mess of bull by people who teased us for six years without having any idea what they were doing. If you're breaking the rules of science and reality, that's fine in a sci-fi show, but you can't just say it's "just 'cuz." The finale was a HUGE disservice to its loyal fans--and saying it's "about the characters" is just a load of garbage. You don't read a murder mystery for the love story, you read it to find out who killed the butler. And this mystery was no better. Six years wasted.
Dude the producers said that the pregnancy issue was answered but it was not spoon fed. You can derive it from the story...Since they said this the bits and pieces of this question lie across the whole series.
1) Richard said to Locke that the Others have missed the point of their purpose and they went on doing insignificant things under Ben, like caring for the pregnancy issues(Season 3?)
2) Our Losties did create the incident. In Richard's POV those were the people that created it. The bomb vs the electromagnetic energy created some instabilities on the island and one of those instabilities were the pregnancy issues(Season5).
3) In the hatch there were vaccines. It might be that Desmond's partner knew that the incident's after effect wore off, but he wanted Desmond contained. So he tricked him that there was STILL an effect outside the hatch and so the vaccine was needed(at the time it was not, but it is crystal clear the Radzinsky knew what he was doing and using the vaccines was a must in his time)(Season 2).
4) Horace's wife gave birth to Ethan. So at that time and before that, women didn't have any problem with pregnancy issues. Telling them to give birth outside the island does not say there were problems. It was just healthier for a kid to be born in the real world.
What do you derive from all these? That the incident created the pregnancy issues. And so the woman who were brought to the island to find a solution for these issues was the creator of these issues. Funny isn't it? And so the producers knew exactly where they were heading with this one.
Really?? Is this your big question?? Ben knew Locke's past. Ben didn't want Locke to become leader. Seeing that he was slowly losing his leadership to Locke, he found an idea...he brought the man who shows Locke's real self(a pathetic little man), his father. So he asks him to kill this man to prove his worth as a leader to the others. Ben knows exactly that Locke doesn't have the guts to kill his father, so this will show to the Others that he is not worthy of being their leader.
Richard, who is convinced that Locke is their true leader(through the Smoke Monster's trickery), brings Ford's file to Locke to read it. Locke discovers that Ford will eat his father alive if he finds out who he really is. And so he takes him to Ford and Ford kills him...How easy was that?
There is no magic box. It was just Ben's plan.
the people shooting at sawyer, juliet & the others while they were jumping through time wasn't necessarily answered, but there could be a good explanation....after the ajira flight went down & landed on hydra island, notice the boats that were taken back to the main island, by locke, sun, ben & the shadow order group thingy...these are the same boats that our crew grabs off the shore of the main island (where the shadow crew went)....this is proved by the ajira water bottle that sawyer finds inside the boat before they take off....so i think it's safe to say that the people shooting were the shadow order, since they knew that sawyer was with locke in their time, seeing his wonderful mane probably got them insane with jealousy, & they had to let a few go....but seriously, this jump was obviously a near-future jump, & they were being shot at by the shadow crew
John Chow is definitely my idol, i think that guy is extra-ordinary. he is really talented**
Jack wasn't on Jacob's list (the list that Ben had, of people meant to join the Others) because that was not a list of the candidates. Ghost Horace appeared to Locke in a dream, so he wasn't Smokey. If Ben had only been in contact with Smokey, and not really Jacob, how is it that when Ben couldn't get Hurley to return to the Island, Jacob came and talked to Hurley himself ? Only makes sense if Ben called Richard, and Richard went to Jacob.
How do I easily integrate my wordpress blog on my Joomla site?
Hi, how are you? I hope you are doing well. I needed to say that I like 301 Moved Permanently.
Here is a fun Question: Why is it presumed that Jacob is the good guy? He seems to cause alot of death and destruction and is the reason that smokie exists in the first place. Sounds worse than "evil incarnate" to me.
