Anyone here watch Lost all season? That finale pissed me off. I hate shows like that. I almost stopped watching it right at the beginning when that dinosaur/monster showed up, but my wife liked it and I stuck it through. I actually like the show, but much like I liked X-Files, I get infuriated when they don't give you anything except more loose ends!
So, we know this and have this to look forward to for next season (plus a bunch of other loose ends I'm sure they'll never tie up):
1) There is some sort of invisible monster that tears people up and tries to drag them underground, but it makes sounds like it's a mechanical winch.
2) They found a tunnel without a ladder that goes underground.
3) Walt got kidnapped by the Others, presumably, who turned out to be scary in-bred longshoremen, by the look of them. My theory is that Walt will meet that French lady's son and they'll bust out together.
4) The dudes on the boat are now 15 miles to sea and so who knows what will happen to them? Since they're all main characters, they must get saved/flat back somehow. These creeps also have gasoline, so they must have a decent operation wherever they are.
5) That rock star has a backpack full of junk again, so will he succumb to the lures of the Horse again, or stay clean for his cute Aussie girlfriend? Personally, if I was stuck on an island with 10 tons of H I'd probably pick up a decent habit, myself!
6) That Pirate/slave ship is sitting in the middle of the woods. Where'd it come from, and does it have anything to do with anything?
7) What happened to the weird animals, like polar bears, that aren't around anymore?
8) What the hell is it with those lotto numbers?
9) What the hell is going on on that show?
10) Will they tie up any loose ends or alienate all the viewers with piles of more plot lines that never get cleared up or explained?
Who knows. Until last night, my wife's working theory (and I don't know if it's changed or not) was that Walt was at the heart of everything. Somehow she convinced herself that he is a comic reader (maybe he was shown reading comics at some point?) and that this is all his imagination creating reality.
Her coworker's theory is that they're all dead and they're all creating theiir own reality.
I have no theory. Actually, my theory is pretty darn jaded and pessimistic: that there is nothing to this show and the producers are going to choose one of the following punk-ass ways out: 1) Everyone is dreaming. 2) One person is dreaming and they made up all the characters. 3) It's something like a bunch of Hollywood types sitting around planning a new show and they're bouncing ideas off one another (why so many weird plot lines show up and then go away) and in a Twilight Zone fashion this reality is being created for real people on this crazy island. 4) And I hope to God that they don't pull this, but they run the show for a few seasons, never explain anything, then the screen goes black while you're screaming at the series finale like a lunatic because you invested three years of your life in this show and can't believe you got sucked in, and the following letters appear on the screen "Faith is something that every person has. Faith is a personal belief in right and wrong..." and it goes on for a couple of stupid paragraphs, then you hear the sound of TV's being thrown out the window throughout your neighborhood.
I can't believe I put this much work into writing about theories on a TV show!
