Movieline Attempts to Tie Up Almost 100 of Lost's 'Loose Ends'

lighthouseq.jpg

How does Mikhail keep coming back to life?

Dude is tenacious.

Why does Walt tell Locke that he still has work to do?

So Locke will go kill Naomi and protect the island from more interlopers.

Whose eye appeared in the window of the cabin?

The Man in Black's, maybe?

Where did Miles get that picture of Ben?

From Widmore.

Who was the R.G. on Naomi's bracelet?

I always speculated that Naomi was in love with Regina (Zoe Bell), the freighter woman who drowned herself.

Why was there a time difference between Faraday's timers?

Because time is different on the island as opposed to the outside world.

Who is the Economist and why did Ben want him dead?

My guess was Widmore, who was still trying to find and send people to the island. Ben had Sayid took care of any Widmore henchmen he could get ahold of.

Why was Ben so surprised that they couldn't kill Alex? What are the "rules"?

I suspect in this case that the rules were something of a gentlemen's agreement. Between these two rivals, their families were supposed to be off-limits.

How does Jack's dad appear in a hospital in LA?

I just thought this was crazy anxious Flash-Forward Jack's vision.

How did the monster get into Jacob's cabin?

I think it had been trapped there, though apparently not very well!

Why did Ghost Horace direct Locke to the cabin?

Because he was actually the smoke monster.

Why did the Oceanic Six lie and name Charlie, Boone, and Libby as the other survivors? What's the logic in that?

Lies always sound more specific if you sprinkle them with random information. I think I learned that from The Housesitter.

Why does Miles decide to stay on the island?

He hadn't gotten his own episode yet.

What's the deal with the frozen wheel? It combines light and water?

Yup.

Why does Ben insist that the Oceanic Six, as well as Locke, have to return to the island?

Perhaps Ben feels like if he returns the candidates to the island, he can sneak in behind them.

Why don't the rules of time travel apply to Desmond?

Ever since Desmond turned the failsafe key and got blasted with all that electromagnetic radiation, he's been able to jerk around with time and space. As one does.

Who are the men who tried to kidnap Sayid and Hurley, but got thrown into a dishwasher full of knives?

Widmore's goons.

Ben asks his butcher friend who was watching Locke's body if Gabriel and Jeffrey have checked in yet. Who are these people?

Part of Ben's off-island network of Others.

When the gang was unstuck in time, who was that shooting at them from the outrigger?

Unanswered question #4.

Who sent Sun a gun and pictures of Jack and Ben?

Widmore, who Sun was tenuously allied with at the time.

    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.

  • Keamy says:

    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**

  • veewitch says:

    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.

  • onlinebroker says:

    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.
