I might have to agree with Solo. Nothing that actually happened AT the Temple was especially compelling, aside from Sayid being a badass of course.

EDIT: :lol

I think we can all agree though, the hatch/swan has to be the best set/location in the entire series.

Hmm, I thought the Temple was an awesome set, but yeah, not the single best.

Single best would either be The Hatch or The Looking Glass...

I'm just worried that I'm going to feel equally frustrated and happy re-watching this series from the beginning, once it's all said and done.

I'll be like, "Oh yeah! That makes sense!"

But then I'll be like "They didn't explain this...or this...or this...or that...WALT WALT WALT WHYYY...why is this here at all? How is this relevant? Why is the island special?" etc. etc.

Who wants to be the Jack to my Locke with respect to being post king? Like Locke, Ive done all the heavy lifting and gotten us this far, but I have been Ben Linus'd (might not watch live tonight because of NHL playoffs, and dont intend to discuss the finale for weeks after it airs like a lot of you will), and need someone to take credit for all my hard work.

So, who will it be? Speeding, are you him?

I think last week was the only episode this year where I got the top spot. I just don't know if I can do it. You know, pull my finger out of the damn like this.

P.S. How did Walt appear before John telling him that he's "got work to do," if Walt wasn't and isn't dead? Was John just hallucinating/hoping to see something? Seems pretty convenient with Jack seeing his dad and THAT being able to be explained by Smokey, but not Walt.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.

Okay I have to admit, I don't know why people call it the hatch. A hatch is just an opening or doorway or something. :lol

Yeah, a lot of the nicknames and buzzwords they tend to roll with are so contrived sometimes :lol

Where did the term "smoke monster" originate? Is that what they called it in the early scripts? I was watching Lost back when Season 1 was running, but I don't remember.

Smoke Monster. It wasn't a ghost either, since it could help Locke out of the pit.

To be fair, in the show, they didn't really know what else to call it I guess, especially since to them, for the longest time it was just a hatch so I see how it stuck. But damn, it's still the equivalent of finding a random building and calling it "the door."

I want this thread to end. So much fighting, so much hate. It's sad to see an episode do this to us so close to the end. I hope tonight is an episode we can all love and enjoy.

I think "The Bunker" would've been a catchy enough name to replace "The Hatch," once the Losties became familiar with it.

But it was probably too late by that point. The Hatch had already reached pop culture status among the general audience, so the writers just stuck with it.

I could just imagine the script looking like an old RPG text bubble :lol

"We should stop by THE HATCH on our way back..."

You can't make good anything if you just cater to the fans.

Lost is the biggest risk that network tv has probably ever taken and we have all been the beneficiaries of that risk for the last 6 years.
