I think the characters are too static and dont learn anything from their actions and the events that unfold during the show.
Also, why hasnt the korean hitman gotten a gun yet and fuck shit up. He needs to commandeer a polar bear, ride it into the others camp, and shoot them destroy them.
I only watched through the end of season 2 before I couldnt take it anymore. I also skipped a few episodes in both seasons 1 and 2 as I was trying to findout what that smoke cloud monster BS was.

Kakashi found this and put it in the Battlestar Galactica thread, but it was too awsome not to share here.

Only one day left until the Lost finale. Can't freaking wait. Friendly reminder, it's 2 hours long, runs from 9-11 ET/PT.
I'm so geared up to see what happens, been talking about it with both DrSD and this guy at my new job. It's so in my mind that I had the craziest Lost inspired dream last night.
I won't describe it fully because it was very long and exciting(that's what she said), but basically I was a character that was a combo of myself, Sawyer, and Miles. I looked like me, but had Sawyers hair and rawness, and had Mile's psychic abilities, it was nuts. And it was just the survivors against the Others. And I was trying to rescue Kate(fuck yeah!), Juliet, and this girl I've been dating(somehow she's now a crash survivor).
I infiltrated the Others camp and rescued the 3 of them, but in order for them to leave, I had to offer myself up for captivity. I played mind tricks on the Others watching over me and convinced them to let me go and give me this sickle looking weapon to fight my way to freedom. It was an insane and violent escape! To fast forward, I killed a handful of people and was almost back to the beach camp, but then my fucking phone rang and woke me up. I tried going back to sleep to get back to that part of the dream, but we all know that shit very rarely ever happens, so I missed out on the end of the adventure.
So yeah, after that dream, I think I'm ready for some Lost. It's gonna be a bitch that this is the last episode until next January, and all our awesome discussion will I guess come to a close very shortly, fuckin bummer!

Here are a couple of interesting theories I ran across:
1. Hot spots
There are some who believe that Earth has an energy grid that spikes in certain locations, making some geographical spots more prone to unusual phenomena than others. Sedona, Ariz., for instance, is a place renowned for its healing properties. The Bermuda Triangle is an area that has its share of mysterious disappearances, as does the Devil's Sea near Japan.
Lost's island is unquestionably a special place with a number of strange properties: Ships go missing, the injured are healed and people (and the island itself?) can slip through the time/space continuum. In the second season, we learned that the island has some rather strange electromagnetic properties that the DHARMA Initiative was attempting to harness. It's a fairly safe bet that the island's electromagnetic field and its strange properties are somehow related.
2. The undead
There is a theory touted by scientist Johnjoe McFadden that electromagnetism plays a significant role in the mysteries of the mind. He believes that consciousness is actually the electromagnetic field generated by the brain's activity. Some so-called ghost hunters suggest if consciousness is electromagnetic in nature, when we die the electromagnetic field of our brain changes frequency. Thus, a ghost is just a person's consciousness functioning at a different frequency.
On Lost, we have this island with a weird electromagnetic field. Perhaps it exists at a frequency that allows the undead's electromagnetic frequencies to be visible. Thus, Christian Shephard (Jack and Claire's father), Horace (a Dharma Initiative guy), and Oceanic 815 passengers Boone Carlyle and Ana-Lucia Cortez — all very much dead — still wander around the island.
Once you've visited the island, your consciousness is forever changed by the island's electromagnetic field. One can now see what was previously invisible: the dead. Off the island, Hurley visits with his late friend Charlie Pace, and Jack receives a visitation from Christian. The consciousness of these survivors has been altered electromagnetically by the island, and now they are haunted.
This might explain why several folks who have some relation to the island try to alter their consciousnesses with alcohol and drugs. But what are Jack and this season's villain Charles Widmore (and, for that matter, Christian?) trying to achieve when they abuse drugs and alcohol? Are they trying to recapture what they felt while they were on the island? Or are they trying to forget? Or are they trying to shut out the voices of the dead who are trying to communicate with them?

Look at this picture from the article...coincidence?
That is the Large Hadron Collider which the article reveals how it may be connected to Lost:
Quote:
But the creators did let slip that the rest of this season will revolve around some very real—and very big—physics: the Large Hadron Collider, the much delayed European particle accelerator that could reveal information about the Higgs boson and dark energy. Some physicists believe the LHC will produce mini black holes, which might actually be able to open a one-way portal to another universe—a gateway that can only be kept open by a force of energy as strong as Jupiter ... or an electromagnet inside a desert island.

Those theories are some pretty cool shit. I'd heard about Sedona having the properties before. And I know Ayers Rock in Australia is talked about being a hot spot. I don't remember if that's season 2 or 3, but that's where Bernard took Rose to try and get healed of her cancer, which then was the reason they were on the plane when it crashed.

LOL, that's hilarious! And I hope that just leave the Hurley body hair question a mystery personally. And another thing I noticed, Jack shows no scar in those pics from his appendectomy. What's up with that? Does the island heal all scars too?
