So - what are people's thoughts on the Lost finale? I thought it was pretty darn amazing. Some random thoughts:
1) For the first time, we see something truly "magical" - the black whisp of smoke. I'm not counting the vision of Jack's dad earlier. The black whisp was the first real thing we have seen that could not be explained away by delusions or whatever. 2) The pirates. I knew they were bad guys - but asking for the boy was a surprise. 3) The hatch. I bet at the start of the next season, we see Locke building longer and longer ropes (since the ladder ends pretty quickly). I'm also betting we see Locke taking a gamble and just "letting go" since he is all about faith. I told my wife this theory last night. I also said - it would be kind of cool if he let go - fell through darkness - then the next thing you know branches are hitting him. He lands on the ground - and it is ANOTHER island w/ other survivors. Or maybe the _same_ phyiscal island just other survivors. (Ie, a copy, and there is another hatch, and the implication is that it is an infinite chain) 4) Magic versus Science. I'm torn... on one hand, the big Beast sounds like a mechanical system. The french lady also described it as a security "system", yet on the other hand the black whisp doesn't look mechanical. I've read some folks say that it could be nanomachines, but I can't imagine sophisticated nanomachines sounding like a giant robot though. Speaking of the "sound" - I have to say the sounds they chose for the Beast are incredibly creepy. Very well chosen I think. My #1 hope though is that they _end_ the show. They don't to answer every question, but I want a good ending. I don't want the show to just get cancelled mine you - I just want the story to have an ending, even if the ending involves them never getting off the island. -- ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Director of Development for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : ray.camdenfamily.com Yahoo IM : cfjedimaster "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:158731 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
