Did they not release a follow-on series called Caprica? I watched the pilot then never followed it up because it seemed to be sci-fi Dallas....
Back OT pls!

They did but that doesn't discuss the time of the Cylon model in question so... Hah!
Back on topic
Why is it MIB never took a name? He looked like a Bob to me before he took lockes face!
Do we need to know where the Smoke monster came from though? I mean really, we know that whatever it is, and wherever it came from it represents evil. It's like we have to accept things in life draw our own conclusions to these items such as "The Big Bang" - we have theories, but ultimately even if we were told the answers, we may not be able to comprehend them. Same might go for the whole "Evil" aspect of lost. I wouldn't call it laughable at all, not everything is open and shut in real life.
I did say almost, it certainly tied up a hell of a lot more than Lost did.
I remember a while back when we knew this season would be the last, some people suggested this as a joke.
What we didn't know that this would actually be true.
What's even more amazing is that there are a lot of people who are happy with that ending.
You may want to re-watch and concentrate a bit more
or just read through the last few pages of this thread.
Or it's just as their mother said when she told them she'd made it so they couldn't hurt each other... The immortality of the protector and the smoke monster being based around the plug being in or out doesn't exclude that.
I think the moment that Desmond removed the plug and suddenly Flocke and Jack are mortal again kind of shows that the source is enforcing the immortal state (also Richard became mortal again[grey hair])

It would be interesting now if ABC or another network decided to pick up Jeffrey Lieber's original idea/script which was called 'Nowhere'. Basically back in late 2003/early 2004 he was in charge of writing the script for a castaway based show, ABC were all for it but for some reason changed their minds at the last minute and gave the show to J.J. Abrams instead.
So Lieber's original idea eventually developed into the Lost we know today (and he still gets a co-creator credit in every episode I think, and has earned money from it). But I wonder how Lieber's idea would have originally worked had he stayed on as the show runner, would it have become as big or as popular as Lost has? And if they did pick up 'Nowhere' today, would it work in the shadow of Lost, or would it just be seen as a cheap immitation?

That they got immortality from the light, sure, but the protector wasn't invulnerable, as Jacob showed. Also Richard's grey hair came up before the plug was removed the implication there was the passing over of the protector role from Jacob to Jack released him.
I think Richard would have been with his wife, and not with the survivors when he decided to let go.
The only film I can think of remotely like this is The Langoliers, but they don't actually crash and exist in a time either a few minutes before or after the present IIRC. There are no humans about but a bunch of flying monsters that eventually show up to 'eat' time. They have to get the plane back in the air and through the time rip before the monsters show up to devour existence.
Based on a Stephen King story.
Probably isn't that.
Even if you completely remove Dharma, Time Travel, the Island, the Others, Jacob, MiB, Rousseau, Widmore and most non-key characters (But important ones) from the equation (ie; Everything that made LOST what it was...) and somehow accept the given ending, it makes absolutely zero sense how some of the characters are at the church at the end and others are not. Boone as prime example and Shannon (Only due to the tie-in with Sayid) to a lesser extent being there, yet Daniel, Richard, Miles and least of all Michael and the once highly important Walt (Remember him..???) maybe even Frank being there or even Eko would have made more sense than Boone. I can't believe anyone who has followed LOST thinks the given ending is anything more than a complete cop-out.

haha, that bit was actually funny, it would have been better if the camera had panned round to show him ages into a 300 year on old man / dead man, I'm joking of course, but I'm sure grey hair don't grow that quickly... but then again as far as lost is concern that isn't much of a mystery
No, series one Lost people only. And that place didn't have a time associated with it, they were only there once they were dead, that could have been centuries for Hugo/Ben.
It's irrelevant whether he was there or not. The meeting in the Church wasn't based in time and space, he just wasn't meant to be there because he was not connected to the losties in the "important" way. He was probably connected to his own people (including his wife) he perhaps had to find his own people after death. The meaning of the show is actually that we live together and die together.

thanks bud, yeah, its not the Langoliers. Pretty sure it was from the 50's or 60's.
could well be my mind playing tricks
, old age will do that to you 
Fixed that for you
Fixed that for you
Thanks for that
but all along we've been fed the whole "live together, die alone" line. It's always been about the connections these people have why they have been brought together.
