Hey everyone,

this thread was started with the intent that we wouldn't talk about the most recent episode till it was aired in the UK (Friday).   Over the last 2 weeks spoilers have been flying out left and right, which is why the mod put [warning: spoilers] in the subject, perhaps we could go back to how it used to be so the UK folks can join the conversation.

Thanks for the reminder. I prefer to wait until Friday night to watch it on Sky, as it gives me something to look forward to all week long!  :)

I continue to be frustrated by this season.  I love Ben's journey and thought it was well done.  Too bad it was ruined by the cheesiest submarine shot I have ever seen. 
Widmore is back, blah blah.

That was a bit corny with the music and everything.

Ah well... figured he was the one coming back, as Jacob had said someone very dangerous.
Loved the Ben episode; I was waiting to be really annoyed had she just shot him, or vice versa.  Great parallel between both lives.

I'm still catching up.. I'm in the middle of season 5. How is it that Ben and Sayid knew each other before the crash (I think??) I mean besides the 1977 run in, this showed him as his normal age in modern time... They've hinted at this before, but is it just because time changed with the "flashes"? Or did they know each other before the crash?

I think you're referring to a flash-forward - where Sayid is working for Ben as an assassin?  If so, this took place after they were rescued, before they returned to the island.

Ahhhhhhhhhh! The latest episode was just crazy!  I think because I'm not used to any sort of explanation, just more of this  ???  ???  Although, to be fair, there still is a good amount of  ???  ??? happening.

I LOVE that we finally got Richard's back-story.

Continue to be frustrated.

I am glad Richard got an episode because I really like his character but there wasn't anything said that felt like a surprise.  I thought most of it was rather obvious.

With 7 episodes left, I think I am done.  Lost has completely dropped the ball for me.  It is worse than bad.

Don't quit on the final home stretch, only 7 episodes left.  Keep in mind that if we didn't know the show is coming to an end, we probably would be enjoying the shows... we just want so many answers and have high expectations.  Hang in there Sara Smile, maybe they'll surprise you :-)

Crap.  I typed a response and it has disappeared.

Anyway, the lack of answers isn't my issue.  I would actually prefer some things open so that it invites analysis and speculation.  I wouldn't say that my expectations were particularly high either.  I just want a semblance of similar quality.

My biggest beef is that this is the last season and every episode is a slight rehash -- considering the island story line.  I don't feel like I have learned anything new since the season 5 finale.  Yes, we have more details but details that I could have lived without.   

I am not trying to just be grumpy but I just don't see any movement in the story.  I am happy to be wrong and would like to know how others are feeling the story is moving.  I do wonder if I have created the problem by spending time really analysing the show rather than just going with it.  In some ways, I have been right in what they are doing and instead of feeling like I solved a mystery, I just feel bored.

Yea, it kinda feels like that last few episodes are just filler (more then usual).
