Ending Of Lost

The second season of the American serial drama television series Lost commenced airing in the United States and Canada on September 21, 2005 and concluded on May 24, 2006. The second season continues the stories of a group of over forty people who have been stranded on a remote island in the south Pacific, after their airplane crashed forty-four days prior to the beginning of the season.

Is no stranger to cliffhanger endings, and once again this year, the finale of season 2 finds most of the principal characters in dramatic limbo. In addition to the children of the Resolute failing to reach Alpha Centauri and being “lost in space” once again, the Robinson parents and Don West have no idea how to catch up or where their kids actually are.

Somehow we have to account for Dr. Smith’s whereabouts as well since it appears her sacrifice may not have as been as permanent as her floating, shattered helmet would indicate. There’s even quite a bit of speculation surrounding the fate of the Fortuna and the planet where the kids ended up. We can only guess at what’s truly going on, but here’s what we know.First of all, although we still don’t fully comprehend, Lost in Space season 2’s final moments prove that he does not have any sort of special status with the robot race overall. However, the decision to heal Scarecrow by returning him to his designated glyph on the planetary pylon ring did win over the abused former Resolute pilot enough that he sacrificed himself to slow down the advance of his race’s vengeful army.

As Penny said, “Maybe one is an anomaly, but two? Maybe it’s the start of something big.” Will may not be able to command the total obedience of robot-kind, but he definitely has some sort of persuasive knack on top of his mental connection.But what was the ring around both planets’ equators for? There’s not much to go on, but based on Scarecrow’s need to return to a specific symbol that appeared on his own armor seems to indicate he had to “recharge” at a distinct location, perhaps his “home” of sorts. The army that sprung forth upon his return gave the impression that the ring is the nest, if you will, of the entire robot race, which spans the local system and perhaps beyond.

Although we don’t have or need an explanation of how the planetary weather has been manipulated to produce regularly occurring lightning storms, the whole phenomenon fits with the idea that robots congregate to gather energy and maintain community. Scarecrow wasn’t the only one buying time to allow the kids to escape either; Dr.

Smith appeared to move at least a few wires out of the way of the not-so-frozen robot soldiers to delay their release. Maureen couldn’t help but be surprised that Smith would put herself in harm’s way, and we saw the duplicitous doctor moments before trying to leave on the Jupiter 8 alone with the Robot. Again, speculation is the best we can do, but what fun guesswork it is!

Because Netflix dropped the entirety of all at once, those who bingewatched out of their insatiable hunger for the adventure and intrigue that the show provides are feeling the interminable wait of the hiatus that much sooner, and fan theories are the best way to fill the time until the series returns. We’ve presented our best explanation for what we witnessed in the finale and hopefully planted the seeds for future discussion. Now all we need is news of a renewal!Listen to the latest.

WHAT WAS WITH THE STATUE?This is one Lost mystery I don't really need answered. Who built the statue, why they built it and what did represent are all things you can probably find out with some historical research on ancient cultures. People who have done the research claim the statue represents a goddess or fertility or something along those lines, linking the broken statue with the Island's baby mama drama. Personally, I can neither confirm or deny the historical relevance of the statue - if you're curious, you should do the research.As for the relevance of the statue to the Lost mythos: to me was evidence that the Island had been around for a long, long, time, and that people had been coming to it throughout history. So basically, it was a way to let viewers know, ' This place plays a pivotal role in mankind's existence.' I'm not trying to look much deeper than that.THE WIDMORE/LINUS CONUNDRUMOk.

So there's implication of what the Island's 'rules' are, but that gets a bit problematic when you think back to season 4 of Lost - which is basically about Charles Widmore sending operatives to the island to do what he cannot (get revenge on Ben Linus). There was that whole sub-plot about how it was 'against the rules' for Widmore to return to the Island, and how Widmore 'changed the rules' by killing Ben's adopted daughter, Alex.

But why would the 'rules' of the Island's protectors apply to these two guys?In the end, I think the showrunners went for an 'It is what it is,' approach with the mystical rules governing the Island; they are convenient plot devices that support the story at various points, but don't really hold up when looked at in conjunction with the entire series. The Widmore/Linus conundrum is simply one of those holes - a weak point of the Lost mythology, for sure. Remember when Lost had African-Americans as part of its 'groundbreaking international cast?' Yeah, I vaguely do too. One friend of mine (and I'm sure of yours) watched the finale chanting 'They better bring back Walt!' Over and over - but no such luck.Walt and his father Michael did make latter season Lost appearances: Locke visited Walt off the Island in the season five episode ' and Michael appeared to Hurley as a ghost in season six, explaining the whole 'whispers on the Island' thing.

Still, many fans wondered why Walt, Michael and the 'tailie' priest, Mr. Eko, didn't reunite with the other cast members at the purgatory all-faith church in the finale. Well, Michael we know is stuck on the Island as a 'whisper' because he can't move on, due to his killing of Libby and Ana Lucia in season two. Walt was freed from the Island early on, so the journey that bonded the Oceanic passengers in the purgatory universe was one that Walt was never really part of.As for Mr. Eko, his death in the season 3 episode ' showed that Eko had come to peace with his life. When told by the ghost of his brother Yemi to 'Confess his sins,' Eko refused, saying that he had no guilt to confess; in his life, he did what he had to do to survive.

The smoke monster evaluated Eko, who stood resolute about himself, his sins and the faith and redemption he'd ultimately found. After smokey beat Eko to pulp, Eko's last vision was his young self walking away with his brother, holding the soccer ball they used to play with. Clock tower 3 pc. In short: Eko, by finding his faith and coming to peace with himself, had no reason to be in the purgatory world with the others. Wherever his soul was going, it was prepared for that journey - unlike the other passengers, who still had to come to peace with themselves and their deaths.That all sounds deep, sure, but I'm sure off-screen conflicts with the actors and the fact that Macolm David Kelley (the kid who played Walt) hit puberty were also major factors.WHAT ABOUT THE POLAR BEARS?If you're asking this question, you weren't really paying attention to the show. Go rent Lost season 3 on DVD and see if you can't figure out the polar bear 'mystery' when the rest of us did. Back in 2006.

I'll give you a hint: Dharma Initiative experiments. In the season six episode ' Un-Locke takes Sawyer down to 'Jacob's cave' on the cliff (where Jack ultimately killed MIB) and in that cave, Sawyer observes that Jacob's list of 'candidates' for his replacement - our Losties - have numbers by their names. The list of candidates (Sawyer, Jack, Locke, Hugo, Sayid and 'Kwon') equate to the numbers 4-8-15-16-23-42 - the numbers that both steered Hurley to the Island in the first place (he went to Australia to find out about them), and served as the code for releasing the Island's tapped energy in The Swan station.

The numbers also showed up again and again throughout the show (Danielle's papers, on medicine Claire and Desmond take, on Mr. Eko's stick, etc.). So in the end the numbers had to do with fate, and were a nice little numerology motif for the showrunners to play with (and a mathematical mystery for fans to agonize over). THE END.BEN CONTROLS SMOKEY?In the season 4 episode ' Ben Linus witnessed the murder of his daughter Alex at the hands of Charles Widmore's mercenaries. Ben then accessed the secret room in his Dharma house and disappeared into a secret passage covered in hieroglyphics. When Ben returned, he brought the smoke monster with him, which murdered the team of Widmore's assassins.

Now we know the smoke monster was the Man In Black, but some viewers are still confused why Ben was able to 'control the monster' in this season 4 episode, but not later in season six. However, it is never said that Ben 'controls' the smoke monster - the best word would be 'summons.' This makes sense to the story, as Alex's death is the event that makes Ben turn to the MIB for a favor - a favor which he later repays in season 5 by killing Jacob for the MIB. It's the ultimate corruption of Ben Linus - the moment where he goes from being a blind servant of Jacob to serving evil.

So I don't quite consider this a loose end - just another case of misinterpretation by some viewers. THE DHARMA INITIATIVE. It also blurs the lines between good and evil. Mass murder is never a good thing, so the fact that Jacob at least allowed the mass murder of the Dharma Initiative (it's his role as 'protector,' right?) is pretty ghastly when you think about it.

This is the embodiment of 'good' we're supposed to root for? Makes you think the Man In Black wasn't ALL bad. WHAT ABOUT THE BOMB?For me this is also a major problem of the Lost mythology. For much of season 6, many fans assumed (based on the opening to the season six premiere, ') that the bomb that Jack and Co.

Detonated in the 70s (the season 5 finale) resulted in the Island sinking and an alternate timeline being created, in which Oceanic 815 never crashed, and things were slightly different in the lives of the passengers. Instead what we got was a time travel scenario where that one location, the 70s Swan station, seemed to 'overlap' on its present-day self, while leaving the rest of the time stream unaffected (or something like that). It's confusing and very problematic - yet another reason why time travel is something you probably want to stay away from as a storyteller.In the end though, the outcome is the same: Whatever conduit to the Island's energy source that the Dharma Initiative tapped when they made the Swan station was ultimately exhausted.

Whether it was exhausted by the bomb Juliet set off, or the the moment in season 3 when Locke lost his faith and refused to push the button (') the energy was released, and The Swan was destroyed. The Losties made it back to the present, and there was never two timelines, apparently.
