Serving toward you?

Better return it or it's an ace.

Just when I think you can't get any more hilarious ...

[schiezainc]

Aww, thanks.

BTW, anyone know if Doc did a column this week?

From Michael Emerson:

“Ours is a show that specializes in big shock endings, but I think season five…” Emerson tells E Online. “None of the other shock endings left me wondering how the show goes on. We have two kinds of huge shocks at the end of this one. Each one alone would be enough to keep an audience eating its own soul for the whole hiatus, but with two, I don’t know what you can do with that.”

No official spoilers, but speculation on the writer's part if you follow.

Wednesdays man. I'm sure it will be out tomorrow ... the big day. I am so excited.

Wow. Better be damn good, Benjamin Linus.

[schiezainc]

I am anxiously awaiting tomorrow night and dreading it at the same time.  I can't wait for the finale but I also don't know what the hell I'm going to do to keep myself sane for the next six months.

*still* no plot leak.

Looks like we're going to have some crossover appeal here with all this soul-eating going on.

Aww, shucks, looks like you'll have to find out what happened the old-fashioned way... actually watch.

Screw that. It'll leak by tomorrow morning.

[ArnoldBabar]

By Thursday morning for sure.

[RickStain]

By Thursday morning for sure.

But what if I can't wait that long?

[Piotr Rasputin]

Screw leaks.

I didn't have the willpower to not spoil myself for Season 3's cliffhanger. A major mistake. I took their "Locutus of Borg" moment and blew my chance to watch it unfold.

It's even worse than that. The show resumes in January. It's about eight months.

He gave an interview on a local radio station today and more or less said the same thing, although not quite as poetically. Also said he doesn't have a clue what is going to happen next year. So he really must feel the finale is something.

Doc is up: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1550612_20245769_20278408,00.html

Tonight is the night. I am very excited / slightly dreading the end of the season.

[NDub]

I posted on here on Monday that I'd have to cover a tennis match at 6:30 tonight and probably miss the first half of the season finale. Well, I have breaking news... It's rained here for about three hours and the radar isn't letting up. Just e-mailed the AD, hoping to get an official postponement notice. Crossing my fingers to be able to watch tonight. So JACKED UP.

[JayFarrar]

Jensen has a very interesting theory in that column.
I like it and I like it a lot.

[NDub]

Anybody watch the Totally Lost video/interview with Cuse and Lindelof? Great stuff, especially part 4. If you've got about 20 minutes then I'd suggest watching it.

Got two "cryptic" teasers for the finale...
Cuse: "We're going to see something very tall."
Lindelof: "This is episode is very... touching." "That's a play on words. You think that I mean it's going to be emotional. But I'm not talking about that kind of touching."

I'd guess Cuse means the statue from LeFluer, probably the four-toed one. And Lindelof... touching means something with Jacob. I'm guessing he's a physical being and something about Locke "killing" him has to do with a physical touch.

And I'm repeating my previous theory: The whispers are time-travelers. It goes with the Locke/Ben/Alpert seeing 2004 Locke and Sawyer seeing Kate delivering Claire's baby. I don't buy it as The Others b/c the whispers have happened when The Others aren't around.

I stand by this: the touching thing has to do with time traveling. If you see the white rabbit video from Dharma, during which Miles' father is holding the white rabbit. The same rabbit appears, likely from nine minutes in the future (or past) as is said in the video.

The doctor then says not to let them near each other, as I can only assume them touching would have catastrophic effects. Maybe Jacob is Locke from the future (or past) and they cannot touch.

I know exactly what video you're talking about and your theory is a great one.

[ArnoldBabar]

I like Doc's theories a lot. If the last one is true, I have to go back and try to remember what everyone's motivations were for getting on 815.

Jack went to Australia to pick up the body of his dead father and return it home to bury it.

Kate went there because she was running from the law after her mother turned her in for the murder of her father.

Sawyer, I believe, was living there as a con man and was searching for the man (Sawyer) who killed his mother.

Sayid, I believe, was supposed to fly his dead buddy (who was a terrorist) back to Iraq on the day before 815 left but had to stay or chose to stay for an extra day.

Umm....Rose and Bernard went to Australia because Bernard wanted to seek some metaphysical treatment or something for Rose's cancer.

Claire was flying from Australia to LA to give up her baby for adoption.

Locke was returning from a failed walk-about.

I think Charlie's tried to reunite with his brother and reform the band. Didn't b/c bro was off the heroin and settled down with family.

Michael/Walt were on there way back to NYC after M ichael went to pick-up Walt after Walt's mother died and her new husband (Brian???) elected to give Walt back to his real father.

I don't remember Shannon/Boone, Paulo/Nikki, and Hurley.
