I'm writing my thesis on the television series in particular about Lost. I am reading your book....so I quote you in my argument and you will be in my bibliography. You have written the great books that are helping me...thanks! <br />I saw that you have twitter...I will follow you!

If the DI is still alive and un-purged back in the real world circa 2006-2007(which they must be, since they sent a food drop to the island just to mess with poor Hurley), why do they allow Hawkings to control the Lamp Post?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-78631441394300948402009-07-06T14:39:46.773-04:002009-07-06T14:39:46.773-04:00So Nikki, does that mean in your season six book, ...So Nikki, does that mean in your season six book, you'll re-post this list of questions along with definitive answers when available and speculative answers on your part for the ones that don't get answered? <br /><br />Cuz that'd be very awesome...<br /><br />For me, I tend to group all the lingering questions into three categories: <br /><br /><b>The Island</b> (Smokey, the whispers, what Locke saw in Walkabout, though I don't really need an answer to the island itself: how does it move/why is it weird? Eh, it just is), <b>The Others</b> (Jacob and his lists, why were they capturing kids, what's their ultimate goal, Richard's mysteries, Ben's mysteries (Annie), the deal with Widmore and "the rules" etc), and <b>Dharma</b> (the food drops, their ultimate goals, the Hanso connections). <br /><br />Which leaves Walt, Libby and Aaron and Claire's psychic in a fourth vague category (Lost Losties, maybe?). <br /><br />Darlton swear up and down Libby's ship has sailed (pun intended) which is disappointing but I guess I have to accept that. I really hope we haven't seen the last of Walt, as he seemed SO important in the first two seasons, and it would be a shame if his story was curtailed just because the actor grew up: they had to know THAT was going to happen. And if we're supposed to assume that Claire's psychic was BS and Aaron isn't paranormally special or destined for something, well then, hooey, I say, but fine, so be it. But I want that confirmed on the show. <br /><br />As for the numbers, I'm perfectly happy accepting the quasi-canonical ARG explanation and leaving them as an otherwise eerie and unexplained force.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-18977012521828746702009-07-06T12:28:45.281-04:002009-07-06T12:28:45.281-04:00Also, one other point.

What keeps me awake the most at night are, unfortunately, the open story threads and that might just come with a normal tv production:<br /><br />- What was up with Libby? (Does actress Cynthia Watros really not want to come back? Why?)<br /><br />- Why did the picture frames change in Miles' season 4 flashback? (Just a prop error during a re-shoot?)<br /><br />- What's up with the Dharma injections? Why did Ben and his Father get injections when they registered at Dharma, but Jack & Co. didn't? (Just an oversight?)<br /><br />- And why was Shannon / Maggie Grace really killed off, when these deleted scenes from her flashback hint at a whole Au-pair-with-evil-french-dad-storyline still coming up?<br /><br />At least I made my peace with the messy Michael timeline and won't ever ask again, how he passed US immigration when returning to New York.mgkoelnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-24548512381669899402009-07-05T22:32:32.816-04:002009-07-05T22:32:32.816-04:00Just thought of another: just exactly where the he...Just thought of another: just exactly where the hell did Anthony Cooper come from, anyway?

Perhaps the white blast / "incident" will be responsible?<br /><br />I am deeply curious about the Black Rock as well. <br /><br />I would like to (like everyone else) know all there is to know about Alpert, and Alpert's connection to Locke. (ie:How Locke fits into Alpert's / The Island's equation / plan)<br /><br />Oh, and I would love to know more about Walt's significance. I think everyone agrees that Walt can' be forgotten about at this point. I feel that Lost will probably end without tying everything into a neat little bow, but Walt probably shouldn't become a detail we're left wondering about, especially since his "specialness" was made so clear to us.<br /><br />What is Smokey?JennMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754816706901976659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-74703610975168604172009-07-03T17:34:58.049-04:002009-07-03T17:34:58.049-04:00How Ben, Tom, Richard Alpert, Jacob, Daniel and El...How Ben, Tom, Richard Alpert, Jacob, Daniel and Eloise Hawking travel back-&-forth to the Island, seemingly at will.

I was thinking, why did I miss this detail the first time around? Why haven't we discussed it?<br /><br />Could it have been the gun that he uses when he goes to Penny? Is it something we just didn't see? Or, as I suggested at the time, is it a travel-sized Frozen Donkey Wheel to be used in emergencies? ;) <br /><br />Great questions, everyone!

I mean, he was at Michael's door the DAY AFTER his wife had died (not in a state of shock or anything) demanding he come to Australia and bring Walt back on 815. She supposedly died of a blood disorder but I wonder.<br /><br />2) Was Jacob or NotEsau trying to keep Hurley OFF 815? Remeber all the stuff happening in his hotel room in the Season 1 Finale (alarm clock stopping, flat tire, etc...) that almost kept him off the flight. Was he not "supposed" to be there?
