I stopped following Lost after half the first season, when I realised there would be more than one season. Why can't all TV series be like "Band of Brothers", where you have a limited number of episodes following a clear time line?

Flubber shudders

The networks can't seem to come up with even one or two really good new programs a year, and you want them to replace ALL the shows annually

Well, Lost will have to have a short run. I'd say three seasons, tops. Network TV can do it. Remember Twin Peaks. Of course, once the network realized it had a hit on it's hands, it tried to ride the pony after the originally envisioned end and muffed it bad.

I agree. I can't see them keeping the mystery and eerie feeling for 5-6 seasons. People would likely get peeved and stop watching.

I do. To me it shows that they do get these types of things rights from time to time but I still shudder at the idea of them having to come up with whole new lineups every year

Hopefully shows like "LOST" learn from that, but economics usually dictate that the show keeps going for as long as it is making good money, which is usually for about one season after the quality declines

Agreed.

In fact, Sayid should pimpslap Jack and John up and down the island and take his rightful place as leader.

A good TV program stops being good if it has no ending.

Okay, here's some speculation--

spoiler(highlight to read):
Desmond isn't the only person who is living, or has lived, in the bunker. There are bunk beds, a ping pong table. Perhaps Ethan was an occupant? Moreover, the person in the beginning when we hear the hatch blow is showered and clear; Desmond looks rather ragged at the end. Some time did pass in between, so it could still be him, or it could be that the beginning was a flashback-sorta thing of Desmond's happier days in the bunker. It did start with a close-up of his eye, after all.

Also, the bunker was sealed from the inside with the word "quarantine" because the island is dangerous, not the bunker. The meds he was giving himself ward off the infection that creates The Others.

Did he just end up on the island during this "race around the world" he was training for? Did he just stumble upon the bunker? How did he get in? He apparently arrived on the island sometime after Rousseau and her crew (not to mention the Black Rock), so what does he know of her and vice versa?
