CCoil Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 You didn't really expect a major character like Desmond would die in such a small, quick way did you? Even the established depth and existence of water should have supported the notion prior to seeing the previews. Hurt? Yes. Dead? Nah. Well, they led us to believe that Ilana was a major (or at least an *important*) character, but she ended up doing, well...not much. Killing off Island Desmond may have been interesting if only to see if Widmore had a Plan B (assuming Desmond is a big part of Plan A). About the well: not sure why they chose to do what they did with the scene setup and sound. With pretty much every Lost article written about the remaining episodes bracing the reader for some major heartbreaks, killing off Desmond would have fit the bill - if only for a week.

Mathachew Veteran Posted April 17, 2010 Veteran Share Posted April 17, 2010 As important as Desmond is, to have his life so quickly and suddenly end with the falling in the well is the kind of thing this show doesn't typically do; it's cheap and a cop-out. Desmond has been a somewhat of a crux and he's been setup as the key to stopping the man in black. Establishing the importance of this and then go on to believe for more than a few minutes, if not seconds, that he really could be dead and that's it for him (at least in that timeline) is... well, I can't think of a better word than silly.

PreKe Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Major Plot Spoiler Just messing with Jedi... I guess it could be kind of funny if we can keep it going....at least it will pass the time in between the episodes Removed the spoiler tag so that "Jedi" can see what you said. If you want to play these silly games, please go elsewhere. In this thread, we discuss Lost Season 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Caro Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 In the promos you can see desmond looking up from the bottom of the well. He's not dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomZ Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 NEED TO RESIST reading plot spoilers. Guys, I said this thousands times now, for the common courtesy of everyone, please tell those that don't mind (like MYSELF) guess/hint spoilers what level of spoiler it is. Some of these plot/direct spoilers I def. DO NOT WANT to know, but am fine with guesses/hints! Well guesses/theories aren't classed as spoilers. Hints I'm not too sure, but the promo's should be enough of a "hint". From here on out I'm not reading any spoiler tags, even if they are ones made specifically for Jedi :p (ok they're the last ones I'm reading..)

Yeah, but this show does occasionally pull "a silly". In fact, they did in this same episode - I thought Ilana was going to blow herself up just by the force she was jamming the water bottles into the sack with, with the *unstable dynamite*. I agree that they've built the Desmond character as having a purpose. But what keeps coming back to me is that Carlton and Damon (and J.J., I guess) have said that they've known how the series would end since the beginning of the series. To me, that means all that they needed to do was to introduce Jacob and MIB when the series's end was in sight and play their story out. Remember, they even intended to kill off Jack in the pilot episode, but ABC vetoed it (IIRC) - so, I'm not convinced that any individual (human) character is important to the end game, just as long as that there are two opposing sides for the finale's start.

SuperJediMedia Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Guys, heard of any Internet Red carpet premiere / Web Cast Chat event for Series Finale? There should be one this Finale event ought to be really huge. Maybe on Lost Facebook page it will have something... Also, seen any really good Best of Lost Compilations videos including this season?

G_0 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Alright straight up: If you're responding to a FREAKIN SPOILER respond in a SPOILER TAG! This thread has been great this season and other seasons the same but this is getting crazy. I love reading what everyone thinks and even chime in once in a while. But if I see another spoiler not tagged I'm out, just a like a few others. There's only what 5-6 weeks left, let those of us who want to be surprised have the chance.

Rob2687 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I tried to avoid them but I think I've seen like 3-4 major spoilers out in the open already. Everyone dies except maybe a couple of people One episode has none of the main cast in it The episode is based on young brothers Jacob and MiB on the island The mother is someone we have yet to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unrealistic Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Adding a [spoilers] means nothing. The thread has been okay for a while, but people don't want to actually take the time to not spoil it for other people. I'll actively try to avoid the spoilers, but if you can't show the community respect, then why even post? We're all huge fans. Just because you have no patience doesn't entitle you to spoil it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
