Episode 24: Exodus - Season Finale (Part 2 of 2)

The castaways on the raft are surprised at sea by something unexpected. Meanwhile, remaining islanders attempt to blow open the hatch, and a visitor to the encampment might be a threat to Claire's infant son.

According to rolankingster, the finale will have the characters trying to get off the island. Also, the flashback will feature all the characters at the airport and may explain why the plane crashed. This ties in to Watch with Kristin's earlier spoiler: "We'll go back to the very beginning, when they all boarded the plane. Also...Ha! Love it! Just got a call from a source who wanted to spread this word to you: There's buzz over at camp Lost that there's going to be an episode from the perspective of the dog, Vincent! And it's actually very relevant, because we see what happened in the cargo hold."

General Spoilers

MYSTERY: Locke has been desperately trying to open a hidden portal in the jungle floor that radiates light through its window. What the heck is it?
CREATOR'S HINT: "The season finale focuses on the opening of the hatch, but it'd be a spoiler to say what, if anything, they find. It better be cool, right?"
ESTIMATED CHANCE OF RESOLUTION AND GUESS: 11% - It's an escape hatch that leads back to the island… or to an impenetrable vault.
--
MYSTERY: A massive creature has been raising bloody hell all over the island. Will we finally get a look at the heretofore unseen beast?
CREATOR'S HINT: "You'll see at least two percent of the monster – potentially five percent. Which is good. That would be like seeing the toes. If it had toes."
ESTIMATED CHANCE OF RESOLUTION AND GUESS: At least 2%. Potentially 5 – A big, hairy manifestation of the survivors' nightmares. Or Jar Jar Binks on meth.
--
MYSTERY: Before he died, Boone made brief contact through an airplane with… well, someone. Who was it? And what did this person say to him?
CREATOR'S HINT: "In the finale, [viewers] will begin to intuit the transmission's source. It's one of the most important pieces of plot for Season 2."
ESTIMATED CHANCE OF RESOLUTION AND GUESS: 64% - In a trippy twist, Boone was communicating with an alternate reality version of the castaways. Like we said, trippy.
--
MYSTERY: Rest in peace, Boone. Okay, that's enough grieving. Will we soon be parting company with another one of our survivors?
CREATOR'S HINT: "Not everybody might be coming back; that doesn't necessarily mean we're killing people… The finale delivers on life-and-death stakes."
ESTIMATED CHANCE OF RESOLUTION AND GUESS: 71% - Michael's raft finally sets sail, but one of its passengers – Jin? Claire? Walt's dog? – goes missing during a perfect storm.
--
MYSTERY: Will we discover the true meaning of Hurley's cursed lottery numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) which also happen to be imprinted on the hatch?
CREATOR'S HINT: "The finale's last 10 minutes focus on the numbers in a non-oblique way. The numbers bring people to the island; the larger mystery is: "Why?""
ESTIMATED CHANCE OF RESOLUTION AND GUESS: Between 4 and 42% - The numbers turn out of be coordinates for the location of… another drawn-out mystery.

New spoilers: 5/21 - From Damon Lindelof on the season finale: "The final half-hour amounts to an on-screen Easter-egg hunt, and devoted viewers will find lottery numbers... hidden in the scenes." Mr. Lindelof also has one key bit of advice for diehard fans: "Listen to what the French woman says in the third-to-last scene."

**"Lost" (Season finales: 8 p.m. Wednesday and 8 p.m. May 25 -- two hours! -- ABC): Is it cheating to have a three-hour finale spread out over two weeks? Well, there's a lot to answer on "Lost." This series has already killed off one cast member and is likely to see as many as two more die by the end of the second hour on the 25th. The promise is you'll be stunned. Oh, and the Big Bad is back (not the polar bear -- bigger).

**Lost casts famous passenger. Someone on Lost's island may want to double-check the flight manifest. Turns out there was a semi-famous movie star on board Oceanic flight 815 when it crashed last fall. In the thriller's flashback-heavy season finale next month. Michelle Rodriguez ("Girlfight", "Resident Evil") will be introduced as a fellow passenger who befriends Matthew Fox's Jack prior to liftoff. Hope that doesn't mean she got stuck sitting in coach. courtesy: tv guide

**Lost - The first-season finale will not only air on two nights, the second night will run for two hours. Look for the flashback-heavy episodes to focus on the day of the doomed flight; meanwhile, the monster reappears. Cocreater Damon Lindelof says the show will end with a cliff-hanger that defies "the loyal audience to not tune in next season." courtesy: tv guide

--Early on, Jack found some skeletons and a pouch containing black-and-white rocks. Explain. ''The black-and-white stones have been a recurring theme in the show,'' says executive producer Damon Lindelof (e.g., Locke's favorite board game, backgammon, and the mysterious Black Rock). ''We know who those skeletons are, what their story was, and what they were doing with those stones. But that's a question we won't be answering this season.''
-- Sawyer's backstory intersects with the Jack and Shannon/Boone histories. Does his pre-island life converge with any or all of the others? ''No comment,'' says Lindelof. ''But we'll see, before the end of the season, why he popped up in Boone's flashback.''
- - Earlier this season, someone knocked out Sayid while he was trying to operate the plane's radio. Who did it, and why? ''You will find out within the next three original episodes, definitively,'' Lindelof says. ''They will find the person, and that person will confess to having done it.''
- - What's Locke's motive for keeping the hatch secret from the other castaways? ''His motive is revealed soon,'' says Lindelof. ''Everything Locke does he believes is in the best interest of everybody. That's all I'll say.''
- - Will Michael's raft set sail by season's end — and who will be on it? ''All I can say is, how much would it suck if it didn't set sail?'' asks Lindelof. ''Wouldn't you feel ripped off? I sure would! As to who is on it? Well, the roster ain't set. Yet.''
- - Charlie was hooked on heroin. Recently, Locke and Boone found heroin on a plane. Discuss. ''One of the things that has made Charlie's ability to kick the habit so easy is that he hasn't had any temptation,'' says Lindelof. ''Reintroducing temptation is part of our intent. The good news, for now, is that he doesn't know that the plane is out there.''
- - The lotto numbers: What the hell? ''Trying to find greater meaning in the numbers is the direction we are going to continue in for the rest of season 1,'' says Lindelof. ''Hurley doesn't know that the numbers are on the hatch — what happens when he finds out that the numbers are on the hatch should be interesting. Wouldn't you think?''
- - Jin worked for his brutish father-in-law; what exactly was his job title? ''He was the executive assistant in charge of finger breaking,'' jokes Lindelof. ''People always ask, 'What's Jin's problem?' There are a few missing pieces that will make it even clearer by season's end why he's acted the way he's acted.''

Question: Do you know anything about the Lost finale? — Lauren
Ausiello: MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! The raft sets sail with a smattering of castaways on it and you're not going to believe what they encounter out at sea. (My guess? Other castaways.) Meanwhile, those who are left behind attempt to break open the hatch and a "visitor" shows up at the camp and threatens Claire's baby. Methinks it's that scary French chick.

- The pilot (Greg Grunberg) supposedly returns in the season finale.
- Current theory; we might get to see what happened on the plane before it's liftoff.
- J.J. Abrams told SCI FI Wire that he's already coming up with ideas for a second season. "We obviously know what we're doing for the rest of this year. "There isn't one answer to everything," Abrams said. "It's, like, this island has an amazing history that we've talked about, and things will change as we go, it always does. "Every flashback makes reference to something else," he said. "So you'll get a beginning, middle and end of that flashback story. If we get to do the story that we anticipate doing, there's a big thing and a big payoff. Source: SciFi Wire
- Damon Lindeloff said about the monster and other secrets to reveal,"I think it's a Dave/Maddie issue, which is, the audience thinks that they want Dave and Maddie to hook up, but once they do, you're like 'aah, I wish they never hooked up!' So despite all the people who are saying 'we wanna see the monster!, we wanna know what Kate did!, you must answer all these questions!,' we're comfortable just knowing the answers and holding them back until we've earned it, or until we've introduced mysteries that are even more compelling than those. At least, that's the juggling act. Eventually, everyone's gonna get really frustrated, but there's a reason why they didn't show Alien in the first reel of ALIEN, or the shark in Jaws. You'll learn when our characters learn."
- Damon Lindeloff said about that theory that they're all dead? "That's a very interesting theory. I heard that theory. We might've even talked about it once or twice. But how would you explain people dying on the show then. I mean, they're just deadER, they're more dead. They're moving to a spinoff is what it is. Everybody we kill off will be on ABC Family on a much cheaper island. We'll shoot it on DV."
- Claire's baby is somehow linked to the island.
- Some of the questions about the island will be answered before the end of the season.
- The whole first season will take place over 42-48 days, with each episode being between 24 to 48 hours.
- We'll meet other folks on the island who weren't on the plane, and learn two secrets about Hurley. Source: Entertainment Weekly
- Jack's father's body WAS on the plane. Source: The Fuselage
- A cargo plane shipping zoo animals also crashed on the island once. Source: The Fuselage
- Lost writer Paul Dini said, “… the monster is sort of a reflection of yourself. The pilot saw it in horror and he was killed because he feared the monster. Locke saw the monster with true awe, therefore, he was able to survive his encounter,” Dini said. Though we may never see the entire monster, Dini says it may be "a Loch Ness Monster kind of thing.” Source: Ain't It Cool News
- At least one main character and several minor ones will die before season’s end. Source: Ain't It Cool News

had to start this early...gotta head to bed!! Hope it's okay.

Love the thread title! That line totally gives me chills.

HaveALittleFaith · 05-16-2005, 10:09 PM

Thanks for starting a new thread.

I really hope those foilers were totally fabricated. The last thing I want to see is jealous Jack (or anybody for that matter), Claire name her baby Driveshaft, or a baby inside the hatch (seriously, what a let-down that would be).

I think it's foiler, everything but the part about another cast member dying. I heard that before . someone else is suppose to die, but who?

On Aint It Cool they mentioned that a cast member dies

LINK

someone on another board said that they know who it will be, but they posted in code:

Decipher the code below if you want to know who is "rumored to bite the big one.

I agree. If Claire names her baby after a one-hit wonder band from the 90s or early 2000s, I'll personally track down the writers and hit them upside the head. As for a baby inside the hatch that looks just like Claire's- it sounds to freaky and sci-fi. Everything is supposed to have a reason that could be true.

..that is what I got too. I hope it's only a "rumor"...but others says that Jack would not cry that hard, unless it was someone close to him. ( I do not think Jack would cry that hard over Sawyer, Locke or Micheal) ..and do anyone else think Jack looks adorable when he cries? usually I do not like it when guys cry, most guys come off on tv as looking like a sissy, but when Matthew Fox do it, he looks so cute, I just want to hug and kiss him and make it all better. Do anyone knows the title of Jack's theme music?

so who is the returning "big bad" they are refering to, if it's not the polar bear?....could it be.....................Ethan?!

charlize20 · 05-17-2005, 09:58 AM

they are referring to the monster from the first episodes

Kate was on Regis and Kelly, and she said, that we will get a glimpse of the "monster"

DeNnls · 05-17-2005, 10:32 AM

Lost is moving one hour later. SAME night, DIFFERENT time.

Yahoo has clips from tomorrow's episode. Can't wait to see this episode!

If Kate dies, I will seriously stop watching the show because I'm so invested in Kate/Sawyer that it's scary.

thanks for the link, she better not touch turniphead

HaveALittleFaith · 05-17-2005, 05:07 PM

I really can't see them killing Kate off. She's the only "strong" female on the show right now. Plus, you have the whole triangle storyline that could go on forever.

I had a dream last night Michael AND Walt died. I am seriously fearing for their lives. I don't want anyone else to die, and I hate having that hang over the viewer's heads. Takes away from my enjoyment of the show.

Nab · 05-17-2005, 09:21 PM

I don't really want anyone to die. Sure, there are the characters that I hate, but I would just feel so awful if yet another main character is killed off. If anyone does die, I won't be surprised if it were Dani-she is the only one that knows about the island. Kill her off and they pretty much have to go exploring.
