I loved it. Even had a couple of twists at the end. Charley's gone from one of the least liked to one of the most loved characters. Come to think of it, same thing happened with what's her name after she hooked up with Sayid. You know just before she was shot.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#194871Thu, 17 May 2007 22:47:15 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:194871dada, Sacramento, CAI agree with S.L., I've been thoroughly enjoying Lost since it came back from break!

And they have such good actors/actresses. The powers that be I was thinking didn't realize what gems they had in Dominic Monaghan and Naveen Andrews but now I'm starting to think differently.

Too bad this isn't the start of the season. Could Jack get his woman? Sayid his peace? or are they really playing out life in hell?

It is great momentum going into next season.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#194932Fri, 18 May 2007 00:02:31 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:194932Kirk, SF Bay AreaLost has been kind of blah for a little while. I was frustrated how they drag stuff out and not really solve much. But the last few episodes have been great! It's picked up to what got me hooked in the first place. It's just too bad they didn't get to the action sooner. Only one episode left and I want more. Bummer. Best show on TV? Almost. I think Battlestar tops it IMHO ;)http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#194933Fri, 18 May 2007 00:04:31 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:194933just go through the looking glass alreadyI am huge fan of Lost, but last night's episode to me, was weak. I hear all the good stuff being said about the episode, but it just didn't do it for me. The whole show seemed slow compared to the last couple of weeks. Moreover, the whole thing was so stale and predictable. We have been waiting and waiting and waiting on Charlie to die, the build up is almost anti-climatic, like, Charlie will never die as well as we have been built up to expect. Moreover, what is the deal with him saying he 'doesn't swim' earlier in the series, yet, comes clean w/ being a swimming champ, etc? I still think this show is being written based on viewer feedback and reaction. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#194936Fri, 18 May 2007 00:13:04 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:194936Tim It is unfortunate that the Lost writers feel it necessary to point out over and over again that they don't understand anything about radios. From the guys who claimed you need three people to triangulate a source, we now have ... an completely submerged radio transmitter! How do these howlers get on the air without a SINGLE person involved noticing??? http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#194946Fri, 18 May 2007 00:33:12 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:194946Mark Pease, FloridaMy hat is off to the producers, writers, and cast in bringing exciting tv back into my life. I don't think the series has let me down at all. I am astonished by the creative twists and turns of the show. I am not one of those people who have to try to make sense of everything. I just want more of "Lost". I am somewhat saddened by the fact there are only 48 episodes left. I can't wait for the finale and hope to live long enough to see the show to the conclusion. How can you be critical of a show that has made you looking forward to Wednesday nights!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#194971Fri, 18 May 2007 01:09:50 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:194971attention must be paid, seattle WACharlie didn't come clean with being a swim champion, he was lying to get Jack to OK his taking the mission.

I even got a little choked up when Charlie hugged an unknowing Hurley. But I had to wonder, why didn't anyone think of cutting the power cable to the looking glass station, therefore cutting off their ability to jam the signal? Not enough drama, that's why.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#194987Fri, 18 May 2007 01:32:36 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:194987Russ, Pocatello, IDAlso, I am thinking we might be re-introduced to Walt and Michael at the very end of this season to bring us back for the next. (As if we weren't already.) Does anyone find their absence conspicuous? I'm pretty sure it wasn't permanent: These characters seemed far too important.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#195017Fri, 18 May 2007 02:15:29 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:195017MaryUtahI agree with other posters, LOST has been back on track for the last 3 episodes! I think folks get frustrated not to know EVERYTHING yet, but if we did, what would the show have left to show us? Last night was great, i'm so glad to see Jack back! He remains one of my favorite characters. The finale looks good, and hope to carry us through til next year. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#195024Fri, 18 May 2007 02:25:32 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:195024JakeI think its great. EVERY character minor or major that we know is alive was in this episode. Karl, Alex, Danielle, Rose, Bernard, Sawyer, Kate, Jack, Sayid, Jin, Sun, Charlie, Desmond, Ben, Tom, Richard, Claire, Aaron, Pryce... probably more. Every single person had a part. And it was intense 'We're going to blow them all to hell.' was absolutely epic. Phenominal episode. Almost better than the Locke episodes (Man from Tallahassee, The brig, man behind the curtain) and that's saying something.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#195033Fri, 18 May 2007 02:51:44 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:195033BBHey Everybody- Don't get too sure of yourselves as the ABC people put some of THE Biggest suprises and turn abouts in the series history.

This episode was nothing but filler for the finale. We already figured out why Daniel was getting the explosives, and what Juliet and Jack were up to. Nothing happened in this episode. We didn't even get to see Charlie drop dead. I wish they'd stop taunting us with that annoying subplot every 3 weeks. If you're going to off Charlie than do it ALREDY.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#195142Fri, 18 May 2007 08:37:34 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:195142John Doe, Seattle, WashLike Gilligan's Island, there won't be any rescue for 45 episodes or the show is over. Toying with us with a freighter 80 miles away that can't rescue them is just ridiculous. 48 episodes is way too many left. They should have finished it all next season in 16 episodes.

I like dramas. I like shows that are DIFFERENT. LOST fits that bill for me. It's true that ABC goofed up along the way..with the interruptions and scheduling. BUT the writers have put together a good MYSTERY. That's it plain and simple for me.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#195432Fri, 18 May 2007 13:50:39 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:195432Vanessa, Delray Beach, FloridaI am a Lost addict. I cannot get enough of this show. I think Michael and Walt will be back next week. Next week's episode will not tell you what you want to know, but it will keep you in great anticipation for next season.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#195454Fri, 18 May 2007 13:57:41 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:195454GBAwesome show. This year has not been quite as good as the first two seasons but it has improved greatly over the past few episodes. I am still a HUGE fan of Lost. It sucks that we have to wait until mid-season next fall (January?) to see new episodes and then only get 16 per year.

The last two or three episodes have been great, and left me wanting more. A feeling I haven't been getting for a while. It's good episodes like this last one that make you realize how disappointing some of the other ones have been.

They just got on their boat and vanished. They need to come back with help or something. But the last episode was a good one. I didn't realize the woman that Charlie saved (in his flashback) was Sayid's love, Nadia, until someone pointed it out to me. It was also great to see Bernard and Rose again. They seem like such a sweet couple. It would be great to see more of those two. I hope next week's show answers some questions and wraps up a few ends. I also think the writers need to address Danielle's character. It would be nice to see Danielle's flashbacks and her story and history. After all we saw Desmond's story, so why not Danielle's? http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#195806Fri, 18 May 2007 15:54:44 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:195806Patrick, MinneapolisI thought it was a fantastic episode. Got back to the people we've gotten to know since episode one, to the heart of them all. That's not to say I disliked season three.

The past 6 epis or so of Lost have ranged from great to superb. Thursday's was NOT. (1) Charlie episode: ugh, can he die already? Other than Claire, he is by far my least favorite/least interesting character. Yeah, we get it, you were in a band, eventually got hooked on drugs, and never really did anything with your life..Yawn. (2) The epi was nothing more than a filler. It did not progress any storyline at all; merely setus up for the finale. No new info other than a description of the attack plan.

Everyone gets too caught up in wanting to know "the answers" and tend to not have the patience to keep up with Lost. This show is about much more than the mysteries, it's about the characters, and from the beginning there has never been a lack of character development or great acting. Last Wednesday's episode is a testament to that. You must stay with the show and enjoy it in order to get the full effect. It's an amazing show.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#197341Sat, 19 May 2007 19:10:59 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:197341kristin, los angelesI thought the mugger was his bandmate.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#197358Sat, 19 May 2007 19:33:46 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:197358William Urban, Marietta, GAI missed last weeks Blogs.

Sure, EVERY series, show, etc....gets into a down slide in story line so what's the trauma in "LOST" because it had a lull? Remember, in the very beginning, this series was a summer fill in but everyone loved it and the writers had a real task on their hands to keep writing with major mystery stories. I think everything and everybody made this show more than anyone could imagine. I will feel so sad when it is over when it comes to an end.

I completely agree with your assessment that the show is back to its original glory. I believe the last 3 episodes may be the best 3 they have ever made. This occured just in time too, because I wa about to give up on the show. I await with grea anticipation the next episode.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#197718Sun, 20 May 2007 14:12:46 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:197718NateA. Even without looking at Juliet's expression, it is obvious that Charlie was going to say whatever it took to get the chance to 'save' Claire (although since Desmond's flashes are not time stamped, I sense a red herring here by the writers, i.e. that Claire and Aaron will get picked up, but either it won't happen for another 47 episodes, or somehow the helicopter will crash after they get picked up - another EM surge maybe?) B. I looked back at the episode, and the actors for the mugger and the 2 girls in Charlie's bed were not the same as those that portrayed Boone or the Hatch Babes. Of course, these scenes may get reshot later with different actors if they writers like those ideas... C. I wondered why-not-just-cut-the-power-cable too. Maybe it is just a communication line back to Ben and not a power cable, since an underwater station would actually have many options for power that would not be dependent on a cable from the surface. D. But the biggest problem with the episode was the idea of radio jamming from underwater as mentioned above. This is ridiculous, and really represents laziness on the part of the writers, who have been called out for this sort of stupid mistake before and should have at least asked someone who took high school physics to review the script before filming. Pretty lame, but I am sure that they will write in a fix later on - like maybe Ben was lying about what the function of the Looking Glass really is (like was lying about it being flooded), and the radio jamming comes from somewhere else...like maybe Jacob? Certainly a creature presumably spawned by strong EM fluctuations would intrinsically be able to manipulate EM energy (like radio waves)? And a lonely creature wanting to bring people to live near it and then not wanting to let them leave would not exactly be a new idea in literature/entertainment, but it would certainly explain a lot. E. Building on that idea, my prediction for the season finale of Season 4 (next season) is this: the smoke monster has kept Locke alive and he supplants Ben as his mouthpiece/human intermediary after the smoke moster eats Ben for having pursued his own agenda and vendettas. Maybe for having imprisoned or hurt the smoke monster/Jacob: "Help me," and the fact that Ben did not seem really frightened when going to Jacob's shack (like he knew smokey was helpless and there was no real danger), and he was just trying to scare Locke.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#197772Sun, 20 May 2007 16:01:53 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:197772V.Dumont Calgary Alberta, CanadaI think the girls in the looking glass station are the women that Ben said died after getting pregnant on the island...thats just my guess thohttp://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#197796Sun, 20 May 2007 17:01:38 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:197796Cathy N.I thought the newest addition was great.

It touched my heart, made me choke up a little even though I was trying not to. A friend of mine watched it with me, a guy who had never seen or shown interest on Lost before, and he was blown away. I hope Charlie drowns but gets saved, that way, he will have "died" and Desmond's visions will finally stop. Lost held me in my seat that night, not as a commitment to the show as the earlier episodes had mostly been, but out of true excitement, intrigue, and heartbreak. It is back and with a vengeance.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#197920Mon, 21 May 2007 00:02:44 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:197920Anthony PThe "cable" was not a power cable or communication line. If you look carefully at the schematics that Sayid was holding when discussing the station with Juliet, it is clearly labeled "anchor to island". So in essence, the writer's thought about the same thing (cutting power) and pre-empted it quite thoughtfully!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#197941Mon, 21 May 2007 00:53:51 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:197941marcThe story of Charlie's past and his future united to form one of the most outstanding episodes I have ever seen.

MaguireOne facet that's so disturbing to me in recent episodes is how the Losties, even Sayid, continue to accept Juliet among them. I find her very troublesome and manipulative, don't buy her apparent switch in loyalty, and hope her demise is part of the finale. Did she really think The Looking Glass was unmanned (or unwomanned, apparently)? Or did she know there were people there, but wanted to divert volunteers from the upcoming battle on the beach?http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#198291Mon, 21 May 2007 14:30:02 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:198291Natalie, Davie, FLCommon people!!! Some of you saing that "Lost" been slow and boring this season, then why did you keep watching???? I think it has been catching and wanting-to-see-it-again all the time. I liked that this season has been a little bit more concentrated on romantic issues, and not more and more secrets, because head start spinning already from secrets which has not been revealed and instead adding more and more of them. I am so glad that we find out about a lot of secrets which were bugging us since the first season. And for sure everyone waits for Jack and Kate be together. Jack loves her!!!!

One scene stuck with me: In one of Juliet's flashbacks, Richard shows here x-rays of an island woman's reproductive system. Juliet said they belong to a 70-year-old, Richard says the woman is in her 20s. This and the fact that Richard, apparently, doesn't age, made me think twice about the issue of Time on the island. Maybe it keeps you young (though maybe not your organs) or maybe it slows down time (for all we know, it's actually 5 years later off the island). The writers confirmed these people are alive, but only said they're somewhere in the "space-time continuem." Something's definitely going on here.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#198439Mon, 21 May 2007 16:00:02 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:198439Casey KalleyThe Purgatory thing…. I was talking with a friend of mine over the weekend about the “are they in hell” theory. I mentioned the blogs I’ve read where it was stated the writers have said it isn’t hell. Well my friend, a catholic, reminded me that in Christian beliefs (not sure if all Christian faiths as I am not a Christian myself) that there is a difference between hell and purgatory. Purgatory is like a waiting room for “lost” souls. I’ve noticed that those who have “died” on the show have all some how redeemed themselves. I am thinking that they really don’t die (because they are already dead), just their souls move on. It doesn’t explain Ben’s existence, but there is still time for explanations. One other point in the Charlie/Clair story line….in the first season Clair visits a psychic who basically lies to her about an adoptive family for her baby in California just to get her on a plane that crashes. You got the sense that the child she was carrying was evil. Maybe Charlie needs to leave the island so that things play out as they need to with baby Aaron. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#198604Mon, 21 May 2007 17:20:37 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:198604Roger, Boston MAI think the best thing that can do for itself is end.

This isn't Law & Order: SUVanilla! The people making this show are incredibly responsible about crafting their story, and they're in no particular rush to reveal everything. The whole point of discovering what's going on on this island hinges on the "unknown Others" - you should be cheering that we've spent so much time this year finding out about them. And that Nikki and Paulo episode was tour-de-force brilliant, esp. with the circus of dead-people cameos. Hitchcock himself woulda been proud. The last 2 eps were HUGE, but also the way things have been revealed the entire season was terrific. Blame the network for the st00pid split-season experiment; that wasn't the show creators.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#198750Mon, 21 May 2007 18:38:41 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:198750JSome people have a hard time understanding that characters can and do lie on a TV show. Just because Charlie said that he couldn't swim in season 1 doesn't mean that he doesn't know how. He was a self involved drug addict then and wasn't willing to risk his life, now he has changed and is willing to risk himself for those that he loves, namely claire and the baby. Also, he was lying when he said that he was a swim champ. If you pay attention in the episode they reveal this without spelling it out for the viewers. Also, I don't think that the cable on the beach is a power cord. First, I don't think that a little cable like that would be sufficient to power the entire station. My xbox 360 has a bigger power cord! I've heard that it might be there to tether the station to the island, maybe it's there so that the others can find the station, or maybe it pumps air into the station. Maybe we will find out what it's for at a later date but I'm sure that the writers wouldn't let an oversight like that happen!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#198794Mon, 21 May 2007 19:08:53 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:198794Rebecca JohnsonI must be the only viewer who has never complained about anything to do with this show. Lost is pure entertainment it is like reading a great book one chapter a week then taking a break and coming back to read more. I am always disappointed how fast time flies when I am watching it. Great story telling and twists and turns, I do like the shorter flashbacks that have something to do with the current thread and adds to it.

The invisible Jacob, was silly.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#200075Wed, 23 May 2007 00:08:20 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:200075Doug, Beavercreek, OhioI wonder if some of the viewers of Lost are seeing it on other mediums, ITunes, Abc.Com, waiting for DVD, they're just not watching it at 10pm when the Nielsen's count who's watching. Also, I think the whole Lost was on a downturn this season, was mostly an entertainment-media driven story. The tv critics sing the praises the first season, build the hype the second season, so that they can trash it in the third season. It's the whole rise and fall thing. How many articles did I read in the press about how Lost was slipping this year? It's like all the tv critics got a press release, "LOST isn't as good this year." http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201026Wed, 23 May 2007 16:16:11 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201026Katybelle Dothan, ALI LOVE LOST! I didn't discover LOST until May, 2005, when they began rerunning Sesaon 1, but I have been HOOKED ever since! I can't count the times my jaw has dropped this season and I can hardly wait for 2 hours of my favorite show from 8-10 tonight plus whatever they are teasing us about in a "special" at 7. I agree that the split season thing was a real drag and making us wait til February to start Season 4 is aggravating to say the least. My favorite characters right now are bad boy Sawyer and Hurley, the ping pong champ, but that is subject to change! They have to bring Locke back because of the whole deal between him and Ben. I can't wait for Danielle to get her first look at her daughter, Alex. The women in The Looking Glass are not the women in bed with Charlie, but I like the idea from V. Dumont that they may be women who became pregnant on the island but women whom Ben says died. Interesting theory. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201052Wed, 23 May 2007 16:26:17 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201052Ardith, SFI just hope ABC moves Lost back to 8 or at least 9 PM when it returns next year so I can watch it the night it airs instead of having to record it or watch it online a day or more later. I guess network folks don't have to get up early to go to work.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201344Wed, 23 May 2007 18:20:06 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201344Beverly,MAI am tired of the "lost" is back crap, it had never left, and has been full throttle since it returned in Feb.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201519Wed, 23 May 2007 19:35:02 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201519Cori, Hoboken, NJ"One of Us" was the one that really did it for mehttp://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201552Wed, 23 May 2007 19:50:50 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201552ShayI have a strange feeling that yes Penny did send a ship looking for Desmond....BUT I also believe that that ship has found Walt and Micheal so therefore they kept looking. But is the lady that 'fell from the sky' really good or bad? I also believe that Locke will come back because remember that people on the island or whereever it is they are they heal extreamly fast, so YES locke will return. But who's side will he actually be on? And I think that 'Ben's daughter' now knows that she is not his daughter and Russo will make a huge effort in the finale to let her know who she really is! One thing I love about this show is you never know who to trust! Everyone has skeletons in their closets and there seems to be alot of closets on this 'island'. I also believe that this 'Jacob Ghost' is being held there by Ben. Because if you remember the voodoo type sulfer around the shack is what is keeping Jacob in there. So there is something that Ben of course has a secret about. And I recommend HIGHLY that if you have Tivo or a DVR from cableone record lost and replay the previews slowly because you see alot more that you would just watching it regularly. These producers a brilliant and they have my loyalty for this season and all of the seasons to come. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201577Wed, 23 May 2007 20:10:05 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201577Renae Lind I am a bit curious about the aging thing too...Ben aged, but Richard hasn't? I also liked what someone else posted about Charlie dying but then being revived so that Desmond can stop having his premonitions...good plot line. I love this show!!! This season has brought in a lot of little ties that you had to pay attention to get but that made the story even better...like the link between Claire & Jack, Jack & Shannon...I love all the little "connections" they all have without even realizing it!! GREAT SHOWhttp://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201758Wed, 23 May 2007 22:20:38 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201758arpbob, Ventura, CAIn Season 2, "Live Together Die Alone part 2, Michael was told by Ben "Follow a compass heading of 325 exactly, and if you do that, you and your son will find find rescue." The small boat they are on does not have much range. Either Ben sent them to the middle of nowhere to die from exposure or more likely he sent them to a "waypoint" where the submarine was Routinely dispatched from. Ben would not allow Michael and Walt to expose anything to the outside world.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201764Wed, 23 May 2007 22:23:17 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201764Kirstin, Whitefish, MTCharlie didn't drown in this last episode, as Desmond predicted, but that doesn't mean he won't -- he hasn't pushed any blinking yellow light yet! But he also might just not die -- Desmond has averted Charlie's death in all his other visions, maybe something will interfere here, too. I don't think LOST is predictable at all! And I love it!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201836Wed, 23 May 2007 23:26:47 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201836Beth, Winnetka, ILIsn't the blond girl who pulled the gun on Charlie last week the same girl who was on the boat when the Others kidnapped Walt? I think she tossed a grenade on the raft, but don't remember for sure... As for Walt, I'd love to see him back, but how will the writers explain the fact that the actor has aged 3 years in about 2 months' time? One idea that's occurred to me is that, during the "tests" Walt told Michael were done on him, the Others could have given him growth hormone or something. True, I have no idea why they would do that... Still, it would solve the problem of Walt's now being a teenager! I also really want to know why Richard hasn't aged, yet Alex was born on the island, went through childhood (we've seen photos of her as a young girl in Ben's house), and is now a teenager. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#201963Thu, 24 May 2007 01:28:25 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201963Maryam Raleigh. NC1.) Lost is awewsome Ive been watching since season1 2.) Micheal And Walt need to come back 3.) Is it that people dont die on the island or is it that people dont sustain injuries? Why did Ben have a tumor if people dont seem to get sick? 4.) If I was one of the castaways I wouldnt trust Juliet at all and i might be a liitle skeptical of Jack. 5.) I dont want Charlie to die. 6.) I wish that somehow Jack and Clair realize that they're related. 7.) I'm waiting for a Richard-centric episode or a Russo-centric episode.

Vindication! Redemption for the show's writers, vindication for those of us who stuck with the show when it seemed to be losing itself. Possibly the best season finale in TV history. I was particularly pleased to be 'deceived' by the flashback which turned to be a flashfoward that seemed to justify the weirdly concordant admonitions of Ben and John Locke.

As for the final episode, I am still trying to understand why Charlie didn't go on the side Desmond was and close the door. Even if unlatched it seems to me they would have had enough time to get those scuba tanks on before the entire area flooded. Just another thing to make me nuts I guess - will still watch and can't wait til it comes backhttp://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#203179Thu, 24 May 2007 20:24:04 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:203179Alison, Osco, ILWell, Lost is always about surprises. I think it is possible Charlie survives. Personally, I hope he does. I think they pushed too much that Charlie would die to allow it to happen - it is much too predictable for Lost. And, I don't want to wait until 2008 for new episodes. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#203225Thu, 24 May 2007 20:49:23 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:203225Toby S, Cleveland, OHToo many holes. Why wouldn't Charlie take a few minutes to put on his scuba gear before unjamming the transmission? Why didn't he just step out and close the door behind him? Why wouldn't Jack at least question Naomi before trusting her people on the other side of the radio? http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#203551Fri, 25 May 2007 02:19:46 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:203551Amanda C, Ithaca, NYThe reason Charlie did not try to survive is because he wanted Desmond's premonition of Claire & her son being saved to come true! http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#203622Fri, 25 May 2007 04:12:26 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:203622Daniel Salas, Paradise, CAlost rules...even though it was kind of a terrible ending to the episode...i was a little upset to figure out that the facial-haired Jack was in present timehttp://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#203623Fri, 25 May 2007 04:13:24 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:203623Tenna L., St.Albans, WVI have loved lost from the start.

Whose obit and funeral did Jack get so upset about? I was able to read a little of the article. It said the body of a New York man was found.... Was that Ben or Locke?

Tenna L., I agree with you, I also loved lost from the start. It's a great show, I am also sad that (if he did) Charlie died. He wasn't my favorite character, but I think I could relate to him. My favorite characters are probably Sun, Claire, and Hurley. Hurley's awsome because he's hilarious, Sun has a great personallity, and Claire is beautiful and kind. I can watch Lost over and over again and I will never get bored. It's my favorite show that isn't animated. The writters do a great job with the twists in Lost, I am always excited to see the episodes. I stay at my mom's on Wednesday, so I can't watch them on Wednesday. I have to record them at my dad's and I watch it with my dad and my step-mom every Thursday night when my sisters go to bed. I hate it when people say what happened "last night on Lost." Example: "I can't believe Locke got shot last night" then I say "Damn it...why did you tell me that" they say "Ooops...sorry, I didn't know you could switch moods so fast." That's cool though, I'll watch it that night, so it doesn't really matter...it's cool...it's coolhttp://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/17/194794.aspx#209269Wed, 30 May 2007 23:38:23 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:209269Peter, NYCLost was never lost, some of the audience lost their ability to understand how to watch the show. It's not exactly your typical every day, run of the mill shows offered multiple times on every network. It's like reading a book except every week you see another chapter of the story, and it morphs between genres so you get , sci fi, action adventure, romance, etc etc. If you appreciate quality then you would have never thought Lost was any place other than right where it should be, one of the best shows on Network television.
