Lost Finale

Hey everyone, since its inception LOST has been one of the best and most frustrating shows on television. I didn't get into it when it first came out. Friends had to talk me into watching it and then it wasn't until I got netflix and was able to catch up on whole seasons that I became an avid fan. Tonight it ends. And I don't want to discourage anyone from watching the show, beacuse I think it's great. But if you are a fan like me then please tell me if I'm wrong by wanting answers to this list of questions.



Yeah, there are a lot of unanswered questions on LOST, at the end of the pilot (which I rewatched last night) Charlie asks "Where are we?" Honestly, six years later, I don't think we have a clear answer to that question. Which begins my questions:



1) Where is the island? Somewhere between Australia and LA, so the Pacific, and that's about all I got.

2) What is the deal with the numbers? 4, 8, 15, 23, 42? They ruined Hurley's life and, I mean what is the deal with them?

3) What was up with Walt? He could make a bird fly into a window and he was special to the Others, which leads me to ask:

4) What exactly did the Others do to Walt when they kidnapped him? Ben says they learned a lot from him, but what was that?

5) And what is up with the Others anyway? At first they seemed like some multinational spy network, with people stationed all over the world and Ben claiming to have millions at his disposal and then they turn into some religious cult living in a temple, which leads me to ask:

6) Who built the temple? Why was the smoke monster under the temple when Roussseau got there and then it couldn't enter later?

7) Speaking of bizzare things on the island, what was the deal with that 4-toed statue? Who the hell built that thing?

8) Then we get to the dharma initiative, I have no idea why they were on the island in the first place, how they found the island (though to be fair there was some vague explanation by Mrs. Faraday involving a pendulum and some chalk . . . yeah) and why the did they bring polar bears to the island? Seriously, polar bears.

9) Thinking of Walt also makes me think about Aaron, he's supposed to be important to, unless the writers forgot they brought that up.

10) And why can't pregnant women give birth? The Others were working on that so they brought in Juliet, but they never said why.

11) Speaking of Juliet, how did she become such a badass? Kate vs. Juliet, you would think Kate would have kicked the crap out of that nerdy fertility doctor, but no, all the Others seems to have some magical ass-kicking ability, no matter how nerdy they look (ie Ben Linus) they seem to be able to whip anyone.

Okay, my wife is telling me to shut up with these questions, but trust me I've only scratched the surface. We still don't know why Hurley was in a mental institution, why Desmond is immune to elctomagnitism, what dark force was inside Sayid (or how electrocuting him was a test of that dark force for that matter, I mean really, how the hell does that work), how Jacob left the island, why Illiana was all bandaged up or a slew of other questions . . . whew. But I still love the show and will watch tonight, it's just one of those things that are so frustrating but you love them anway, I guess.
