I hope they don't end the series with no questions answered! I do really love Sawyer though. Apart from being so hot, I think he's got a great character. I do like the way they are showing a parallel universe of the characters and how their paths still cross one another in that universe but I don't know... It will be interesting to see what happens. It is definitely one of the better shows.

I will really miss Sawyer when the show ends. :crying:

Sort of gone back to the first season basics. The one thing about this series that towers over other scifi series such as FlashForward (had to fit that in, being a Flashforward thread, lol) is the highly dynamic characters and acting. Michael Emmerson (Ben Linus) is one of the best actors and his character is one of the greatest on any tv series. Hurley, Sawyer, Locke, Sayid, Jack etc all fantastic characters. Apart from Dominic Maughan character in Flash Forward, I cant think of any other dynamic character in this series comparable to Lost which it has in abundance.
I agree - Dominic Monaghan (Simon) in Flash Forward is probably what makes it interesting. I find the others pretty boring and I find the whole Lloyd-Olivia-Mark saga really lame to be honest. Reminds me abit of Home and Away or Neighbours! I thought Simon showed a really interesting streak last week and abit more of his character as a person. He certainly has a better character in this then he did in Lost as Charlie!

Season 1 was good, 2 was okay but lame, 3 was just long winded and boring but 4 was much better. I would catch up on it if I were you. It is a good show to watch.

OMG wait till you get to see the 9th episode of Lost - big big episode that really reveals answers to many burning questions but at the same time it is the most emotionally compelling. Actually this last season has many big episodes but this one tops them all with a great balance of story progression and emotional drama.

So er...back to this thread's main topic...lol

I was actually thinking that last night when I was watching it. It certainly did answer alot of questions but opened up loads more too!

Poor Richard (Ricardo!). They really screwed him over.

****Lost Spoiler****

oh yeah, he sure as hell suffered ;) But watching that episode was like watching an epic movie in 45 mins! Loved how Ricardo got his immortality though, believing that if he dies he will go to hell. "Can you give me Isaballe back?", "no cant do that", "Can you absolve me of my sins?", "no cant do that either", feeling all is lost, sighs defeatedly "Well, then I want to live for ever"....."that I can do"...brilliant! And what a brilliant actor Richard turns out to be knocking even Ben Linus out of the park, and thats saying something.
