10 Questions Lost Needs to Answer

by Tim Surette TV.com Staff Writer 01/26/10 02:54 PM

ABC’s Lost has spent five years toying with us, dangling questions before our noses almost to the point of frustration. Obviously we’d love for everything to be wrapped up nicely, but producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have explicitly stated that not every question we have will be answered.

I’m cool with lingering mysteries that give us something to ponder once Lost is off the air, but there are 10 questions that I absolutely need to have answered or I will hunt down Cuse and Lindelof and give them a vigorous finger-wagging.

For obvious reasons, I’ve left out “What is the island?” (that’s a silly question anyway) and “What happened after Juliet pounded on the H-bomb?” The first inquiry is basically the show, and the second will be answered about 30 seconds into the Season 6 premiere. The following 10, however, are must-answers.

1. What is the significance of the numbers?
We first saw the digits (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) back in Season 1—on Hurley’s winning lottery ticket, then on the hatch door, then in the input sequence to reset the timer in the Swan Station, and finally in our nightmares. I can’t even wear my Michael Jordan jersey anymore for fear a plane will crash on my head.

2. Why were they chosen to crash on the island, and what is their connection?
I could have wussed out and made these two separate questions, but they’re really the same thing phrased two different ways. We know Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Sun, Jin, and whoever else were selected by some higher being or cosmic force, and I’m guessing their connection has to do with more than just the fact they’re all hot. Yes, Hurley gets some love too.

3. Why do some people appear as “ghosts”?
For lack of a better word, we’ll call the people who have died and talk to people who are alive “ghosts.” We’ve seen Charlie, Christian, Alex, Ana Lucia, and more come back and do their Casper impressions, but I’m at a loss for the rules of the whole phenomenon. Rule number one, you have to be dead… that’s as far as I’ve gotten.

4. What is the Black Smoke?
Another question from the early days that producers have somehow managed to keep secret. We’ve heard it’s some sort of security system, and it also judges people. Then it maybe takes the form of loved ones and bosses people around. It’s kind of like Simon Cowell.

5. How is Egyptology related to all this mumbo-jumbo?
We’ve seen the croc-faced statue of Tawaret and we’ve seen hieroglyphs scattered all over the place like some Cairo tagger gone nuts. But what do ancient Egyptians have to do with the island? Is the island an inverted spaceship pyramid that’s ready to blast off into outer space and head back to the mothership? (No, because that would be stupid.)

6. What’s up with Walt? And Aaron?
Remember that dude? The kid? Michael’s kid? Michael spent all of Season 2 screaming his name in that annoying moan. He was special. Then he disappeared. Ummm, what? Same thing re: Aaron.

7. Who is Jacob/Who is “The Man in Black”?
Methinks these two have a lot to do with the island and its mysteries (thanks, Captain Obvious). We know Jacob can get off the island and travel through time, and we know he made Richard Alpert how he is. We know the Man in Black wants to kill Jacob, and he may just be able to incarnate himself as the recently deceased. We also know Jacob likes to touch people. Seriously Jacob, use some Purell.

8. What’s the deal with the Temple?
The Temple is the single-most mysterious location on the island. We know you can go there to be judged, like Ben did. We know that the Smoke Monster may call it home. It’s part sanctuary, part examination room, and part hideout. It’s like the island’s YMCA.

9. Why do Widmore and Ben want the island?
No Ben, “the island is special” is not a good enough explanation. These two are willing to kill each other’s daughters for the floating rock. I’m sure the producers have a different answer to this question, but I would accept that both Widmore and Ben have a raging case of Objectum Sexuality.

10. What is the deal with Richard Alpert? And Desmond?
Walt and Aaron have their own question, so the adults can have one too. Alpert doesn’t age, Desmond can time travel. I’m not sure about you guys, but that kind of stuff doesn’t happen to me or anyone else I know. Although I do know a few people who look good for their age and another who keeps waking up in strange places days after his last memory. But I don’t think that counts.

What’s on your must-answer list? Ask away in the comments, and I’ll be back tomorrow with five questions Lost DOESN’T need to answer.

耐不住介绍人的几次三番，说这姑娘如何如何，仰慕者甚多，追求者众啊，比那Heros、24hours俩妮子有过之而无不及，于是我春心萌动，怀着一颗邪恶的心，约了时间地点，她，LOST-迷失，终于在我眼前出现了，乍看之下，眼前一亮，海浪、雨林、MM那叫一个养眼，坐定慢聊，MM将其坎坷身世娓娓道来，飞机失事，若干乘客坠落孤岛求生，过程中遇到另一方them以及随时出现的超自然现象，让本人不免为其揪心牵挂，怎奈时间有限，约定再见。

很快第二次见面如约到来，欣然前往，继续倾听，可是怎么越听越迷糊呢，热带雨林里的现代踪迹越来越多，谜团依然没有解开，反而扩散开来，给你千头万绪之感，我不禁对MM的未来产生担忧，不知道她经历了这么多，能不能找到自己的突破口呢？

又一次见面，我努力寻找在MM身上发生这一切的根源，可MM只是告诉我一个支离破碎的研究计划、一个试验，我继续深究，可MM时而闪烁其辞，时而避重就轻，我对MM心里想什么依旧不得而知，而此时，我们已经见了三次面，在一起交流的时间超过48小时，是我太心急了，我不这么认为，有悬念？我理解，那是当然要有的，不过你留下悬念也得过个几集揭秘一下啊，人家都是谜底揭开时制造另一个悬念，如此反复循环，这可好，三季过去了，我仍然一头雾水，于是我退缩了，我不能奢望和一个滔滔不绝，东拉西扯却总说不到点子上，口若悬河却都只是表面文章的MM能有什么结果。

回去的路上，我毅然删去了LOST MM的联系方式，这一次，真的悲剧了。

翻了旧帖，上一篇有关电影的文章竟然是去年写的，电影看了不少，有想法写的不多，想写而又诉诸键盘的就更少了，完了，才写到这儿已然没了头绪，不知道从何说起了，干脆……

1、剧情：说起剧情则不得不提Matrix，这个恐怕无人不晓，看了一半你就会想起它，两部片子塑造的世界很相似，虚虚实实，真真假假，尤其片尾处一个机器电源关闭的镜头，更是让人遐想连篇，Matrix里锡安是真实的世界，但The Thirteenth Floor什么才是真实的世界呢？我不知道。

2、演员：好像没有太出名的演员，至少我是都不认识，汗~主角中规中距没什么可说的，倒是那个老头-Hannon Fuller，虽然戏份不多，表演起来很自然的样子。

3、场景：这片不像Matrix事件头绪比较多，冲突/打斗场面也较多，一场看下来比较偏软，我想这也是imdb得分不高的原因。作为老科幻迷，我仍然强烈推荐，当然了，追求感官刺激的可以绕道了。

我还是比较喜欢此类的电影，科幻是一方面，更重要的是剧情引发的联想，场面宏大、打斗激烈、血腥恐怖那都是娱乐片，让人惊心动魄、提心吊胆俩小时，任务就算完成，而有些片子，是需要慢慢体会和回味的……

　　最近电影看的少了，歌听的多了，所以这会儿才看这部片子，一开始就让我想起了之前的《帝企鹅日记》，无论是场景还是帝企鹅的外形，看来这导演没少看《帝企鹅日记》，呵呵。与《Cars》相比，感觉还是有过人之出的，其一就是音乐：搭配的很棒，听来心潮澎湃，也很渲染情绪，影片写真的风格注定了不能像《Cars》里汽车那样有丰富的面部表情，所以让影片生动起来的最好办法就是音乐，听说配音方面也下了不少功夫，请了多位名人，我也没去查证，总之是很出彩。MM直说要听原声带呢。其二是和人与自然拉上了关系，后半部分的主线完全围绕鱼群骤减之谜而展开，揭示了人类活动对南极大陆乃至整个地球的巨大影响，也算“上纲上线”了一回，个人来说非常喜欢这种观看之余能让人有所思、有所悟的电影，国内乃至香港太缺乏这样的构思了，每每都是插科打诨，打打杀杀，演员阵容那叫庞大，砸的钱那叫多，可是……可是……唉，鄙视一下吧。

　　顺便推荐冯巩的《别拿自己不当干部》，目前国内少有的说实事的电影，好像斯琴高娃也演了一部什么电影，名字想不起来了，要是好看了和冯巩的一块儿说说。

　　《云水谣》——很久没有看到过的感人电影！
　　看这部电影，我纯粹是因为有陈坤、徐若瑄、李冰冰的参演，想着应该是一部偶像剧。晚上吃完饭没事干了，选择一部老少皆宜的电影看吧，毕竟要考虑到我准婆婆的欣赏口味嘛，呵呵~如果只是我和他，我就会选择SHE的演唱会看了，嘿嘿~~~
　　故事发生在台北的上个世纪40年代，陈秋水（陈坤饰演）在给姓王的儿子做家教时，与这家的女儿王碧云（徐若瑄饰演）产生了一见钟情，由于陈秋水是名左翼分子，当时台湾局势动荡，他却被迫逃亡大陆，二人约好重逢……他们分别时，我还深刻记得秋水对碧玉说的话：“我不会忘记你的，如果我忘记了，那就是我不在了！”

　　陈秋水到大陆后，为了不影响到在台北的母亲，更名徐秋云，取母亲徐凤娘与恋人王碧云名字各一。这个名字是如此的感人之深，他无时无刻的思念着海峡对岸的母亲和恋人。陈秋水到大陆后成为了一名军医，奔赴朝鲜战场。此时，战地护士王金娣（李冰冰饰演）对陈秋水产生了革命的爱情。但他的心里仍然等待着与恋人王碧云的重逢。王金娣对陈秋水执著追求，追随他到西藏医院。面对着这份对王金娣的责任，又几番寻找王碧云无果，与碧云已经产生长期分离的痛苦，陈秋水最终被王金娣的真情感动，两人在西藏高原结为夫妻……（此时，王金娣已更名为王碧云，她心里很清楚，秋水心里只有王碧云，结婚当晚，王金娣留着泪告诉陈秋水：“我是替姐姐王碧云来照顾你的，下辈子我会陪你去找姐姐王碧云”。）
　　多年以后，陈秋水与王金娣在救助产妇的途中遭遇雪崩双双殉难。王碧云的侄女陈晓芮找到了陈秋水与王金娣的儿子陈昆仑，此时王碧云已经两鬓斑斑，但那段刻骨铭心的爱情仍然一直埋藏在她的心底……
　　除了王碧云式一生坚守并等待的爱情，王金娣式敢爱敢恨勇往直前的爱情，陈秋水式负责任的爱情外，还有一个人物薛子路（此人物的饰演者我不认识，嘻嘻~），他对爱情是忠诚一世，影片刚开始感觉薛子路呆头呆脑的，永远只会在同一个地方等王碧云。但后来，碧云也已经人到中年，但是子路依然执着的等待着碧云的爱，我被这个角色逐渐所打动。他对碧云的父亲说：“她等一个永远也等不到的人，我一定还有机会。”就这样，子路等碧云了一生，碧云却等了秋水一生！
　　故事很多细节都很感人，我只是简单描述了一番，如果你也希望看到真正的爱情是什么，那么你也去影片中体会一下吧！也许，追求坚贞爱情的现代年轻人更应该看看这部影片，不是教育，而是启迪。
　　影片留下的思考：如果你是他们，你会选择谁的做法呢？秋水选择了责任，在形式上没有一直等下去；碧云选择了一直的等待；子路选择默默陪伴；金娣选择大胆进攻。看完后，我相信大家心里都会有自己的看法。
　　你会和他/她去看吗？祝福天下有情人终成眷属！永远幸福！
　　云水谣——碧云秋水的爱情歌谣……
