I really like the utterly bonkers dark matter moon theory.

What the fuck is Charles Widmores role in the whole thing - really?

I found myself asking the same thing

No chance, that comes across as a mish mass of an overactive imagination.

I think whidmore and albert are throwbacks to the black rock, original crew members, as to the time machine if the "wheel/time machine" etc was built first in the 60's, why on earth is it covered in ancient hieroglyphs

The casimir effect described could be used to stabalise wormholes,

Spoiler: more discussion

Yeah I liked it last night (stoned), but I prefer the wormhole/exotic theory today, though some parts seemed true.
The writers ruled out time travelling and spaceships in some podcast... but Ben definitely seemed to go forward in time, it's probably an illusion of time travel as Halliwax suggests...more a time distortion...

Seen this, it ran as an advert in the states while Lost was broadcast?:

*shakes head*

Lost does my head in.

I cant cope

*Sits down and watches finale*

NO!

Fucking hell. Well I did suggest that when the end of the last finale but eh?

Ben is a great character. He's a more evil successful version of Doctor Zachary Smith in Lost in Space.

I was disapponted by who it was as they've lost lots of very interesting potential plot developments for the sake of a shock which was no shock.

Imagine him twisted into how his predessor was or even worse a really deranged power crazed religious tyrant or something.

Spoiler: more to come

i'm fairly certain that they are going explain exactly how Locke came to be in the coffin so no plot developments have been lost. According to the timeline at http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Timeline Locke was in the funeral parlour in September 2007 or later. Jack and co crashed into the sea on December 30, 2004. So there is plenty of time to for Locke to become deranged

Spoiler: thinking about it

With the time shift n all that i guess there is nothing stopping them from having Locke still alive when they get back to the island. The locke dead in the parlour being a later version of him. I know you are saying that even if they don't do that they can have flashbacks n stuff but i'd have rather Jack and Kate go head to head with a living mad n bad Locke as plot.

Who knows. They've been quite good at avoiding Deus Ex Machina stuff up to now, dead people (apart from Jack's dad, Mikhail and people in various visions) have tended to stay dead and so much the better. Of course we've seen nothing of what happens to those on the island after it was moved, so there's still plenty of 'splaining to do about what happens there while Jack and co are back in the real world...

 

[Gromit]

I don't think you have used the phrase Deus Ex Machina in the right context there.

The phrase refers to saving the hero from an impossible situation that they can't rescue themselves from through the sudden appearance of an external agency. In my senario no one is saved, they just haven't died yet and still will.

One of the early episodes was called Deus Ex Machina so hopefully they're aware of not relying on it.

Regarding Locke, dead people seem to do alright when taken to the island...

Damn, I've been reading Lost theories for two days now, it would be good for conspiracy theorists to do so and realise how easy it is to create a plausible narrative with limited information.
