They'll have to work pretty hard to disappoint me more than X-Files eventually did, but I've lost my faith that they're at least half a step more planned out than Chris Carter ever was.

This, very much this.

They need to sail around the whole island with the sailboat, and find Tom Hanks yelling at Wilson.

I'd rather have them find Hugh Laurie yelling at Wilson, thank you very much.

Dana - Bwahahhahahahaha!!!!

I still don't think the electromagnetism...thingy...is real. I think it's more of the psychological experiment. Something faked up for when you DON'T push the button, to freak you out into Not Trying That Ever Again And Phew, That Was Close. (hence why Desmond is so insistent about it when the Losties find the hatch. He's missed it once, and it freaked his shit right out.)

All the Dharma/Hatch mysteries are keeping me watching. Well, and the pretty. I just can't bring myself to care all that much about the Others.

Oh, man, that icon is such a coded piece of humour. Love it.

That icon is HI-LARIOUS!

Also, I don't think there were too many people left on this board holding on to the following theories, but I was glad of the finale for settling two questions once and for all -- Losties = NOT DEAD. Rest of the world = NOT BLOWED UP (or somehow otherwise destroyed).

The pneumatic graveyard bugged the crap out of me.

I enjoyed it in a close-up-of-a-stoplight-swinging-in-the-wind kind of way. Now that I've stopped trying to apply logic to the show (watching Alias has helped me in this respect), I'm finding it very entertaining.

Rest of the world = NOT BLOWED UP (or somehow otherwise destroyed).

Unless the rest of the world is in the midst of a nuclear winter and the Losties are in a biosphere.

Also, I want to start a rumor that they HAD a plan, but they had to change it after THE VILLAGE came out...

It's Survivor meets The Truman Show.
