the bird called the final candidate

"They didn't answer any questions, it makes no sense" Most of these same people think they were dead all along from the start when actually they weren't. I recently watched Lost after 14 years of it's release. And in my opinion it's a great series. I really had so much fun watching it. And they answered most of the questions, all most all important ones. Some people don't know that the questions they are asking are actually answered in the show, they just need to use their brains. And sometimes you don't need to answer everything, but leave them out for interpretation or let them remain as mysteries. They did leave a few questions unanswered but it's fine. It's just a Tv series.

Anyone wondering about the Hurley Bird, watch the bonus episode "The New Man In Charge". It was a Dharma experiment.
-
This is at the beginning of season 6. What did you expect, for them to just spill the beans on everything?
-
If you rewatch the series, there might be more to that episode than first thought. Could Hurley's "Dave" be Libby's deceased husband, "Dave"? And could the monster be taking the form of Hurley's Dave while on the island? Trying to convince Hurley to jump off of the cliff would certainly compliment the monster's intention to have all of the candidates killed, and would share similarities with when the monster as Christian led Jack off of a cliff in 'White Rabbit'. Interesting ideas to chew on...
-
Oh good, I'm so glad I watched them answer zero of the questions put to them! I feel so satisfied! :D
-
a great show with a lot of Greek/Egyptian mythology, philosophical differences and a lot of deeper mysteries than we think, a lot of religious overtones as well as balancing stuff like time travel and sci-fi leanings, almost seems like too much for a tv show, but multiple watchings will satisfy you eventually on all the mysteries.
-
I disagree that saying, "That's my interpretation of it" is some kind of cop out. In interviews, the writers have always encouraged fans to draw their own conclusions, and I think that's more of what he's getting at. He also said that the basis of that scene depended on if Ben was telling the truth or not, and given Ben's track record at that point...he probably wasn't.
-
"If you play it backwards it says locke is dead."
-
I like to think that Libby in the mental hospital has ties to her husband's death. She did seem a little abnormal when she offered Desmond her late husband's ship. Thankfully, like a lot of the questions that weren't directly answered, it is of little significance in regards to the series as a whole. Apart from Walt, nothing else prevents the narrative from functioning cleanly.
-
A lot of Lost's mysteries should just be left to interpretation. They show had a few glitches, but it was still a damn good show. My only criticism would be that it could have been a bit more structured from the beginning.
-
They did. Season 6 epilogue
-
Aww...looks like someone was disappointed by a few unanswered questions. Really? Everything important was explained.
-
If you want answers to every little detail then the show seizes to be a mystery.
-
John locke would make a perfect Hitman
-
they never explained the hurley bird, and they definitely could have. i can come up with an explanation now: hurley got a pet bird when he enlisted in the dharma initiative in 1977, and it learned his name, and it encounters him again in 2004. simple.
-
It's an entire episode of lost you haven't seen, i ain't gonna ruin it for you.
-
A network television series is generally burdened by having to produce longer seasons, have restrictions in terms of the content they can present, and are susceptible to market changes that either affect the show or the network it exists on. Network television is designed around having large numbers in order to attract advertising, whereas cable attracts subscriptions.
-
Often a guru will mislead his/her pupil so they can find their path on their own, just as Jacob wanted- to have them help themselves. I understand the difficulty westerners have with these eastern ideas.
-
I think that Jacob gave everybody their powers, like how he made Richard immortal.
