The OP seems very defensive of Lost as he's probably pretty much a fanboy if he knows everything inside out. Imo it's not that they didn't explain all the stuff in Lost. It's more about the series turning into a clusterfuck with all the storylines jumbling together then the explanation for everything turns out to be pretty bland and boring. The first seasons built up alot of hype that, i feel, the directors couldn't really keep up with. Completely agree. I'll give the writers credit they probably gave answers to all the questions, so that the show was atleast consistent, but these were in no way satisfying when you consider the dramatic build up in S1 and S2. If they're gonna put alot of time and energy builing up suspense I would have liked to see the same kind of energy put into the answers. Instead they dragged it out way too long answering questions here and there until its eventual end but at that point it was already disappointing. | ||

Nice thread though, good answers. Not sure why so many people are hating on you. Yeah, seems you're right. Miles was born on the Island, and not Charlotte. | ||

Charlotte was born on the island, but that wasn't the cause of her death - that one guy on the freigther died from the same thing that killed her and certainly wasn't island-born. I'll take over a bit if noone minds, at least for the last couple of questions. It's been a while since I've watched the complete show, and while I think I'll remember most of things, I have to admit that I had to look up a few of the details on a wiki. Yes, I was mistaken. It seems your right. Because it was the first "new" baby the Others could get their hands on after several failures with pregnant women dying to continue their fertility experiments. I'd also add that if the question relates to why the the psychic said that Claire must get on Oceanic 815 to give the baby up for adoption, ignore the psychic, was it shown that he was a fraud. They wanted him badly because he exhibited special powers; they sent him off in order to seal the deal with Michael. Pretty sure there's not much more to it. And also because the Others like to steal kids to add to their ranks as they can't procreate due to women not being able to give birth. | ||

Either they shipwrecked on the island by accident like some of the people before them, or Jacob brought them to the Island. | ||

The Temple was a sanctuary, and there was a circle of ash surrounding it to keep the MIB out. There isn't really any further information known. It's possible that Dogen had the power to keep the MIB out, as Lennon seem to hint at. But as Dogen said he would be killed by the MIB if he stepped outside No particular answer is known. Either the ash circle was broken by Sayid or after Dogen was killed the ash circle did not prevent the MIB from entering. Note that the MIB had no problems entering the tunnels in Season 5 under the Temple, possibly because there was no ash around it. | ||

And is the island really the gateway to hell? The Light did give the Smoke Monster the power to take the form of dead people, for more information see http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=302876¤tpage=8#149 However, it's not necessarily what is responsible for certain people having powers, for example Walt has powers before having contact with the Island or the Light. No, the Island is not the gateway to hell. | ||

As a side point (and to advocate for the show a bit), whether you enjoyed Lost can really depend upon how you watch the show itself. For example, I think the writers intended the plot only to be used as a means towards furthering the main purpose of the show, coloring character reformation. To be more pointed, the purpose of the show was to demonstrate the journey and end of different characters and to put a measure of meaning on what is to be believed a "right" vs. "wrong" kind of life. No characters were born from the same circumstances nor made the same choices, yet there is clearly some demarcation of how some character developments were progressive or degenerative. Regardless of the actual events that happened during the show, it matters more on how each character dealt with the change and how the character evolved for better or worse. During the entirety of the show, the plot twists, time traveling, "magic" as some people call it, are all relevant in that they present furtherance towards this development but irrelevant in the sense that it makes the "plot" more confusing. Actually the writers may have intended to distort the "plot" to emphasize this purpose itself. …But given the restraints of media demands, I feel that much of the plot was unnecessarily (and rather poorly) forced to explain things that didn't really need explaining in the first place. Thus the hullabaloo in the thread. T.T Anyhow I think Lost is a great show. | ||
