Dear Admin…

Dear Admin,
Since this is the last week of Lost, I just want to say thank you for creating and maintaining an amazing Theory site. I wanted to post this ASAP because I know as soon as Tuesday and/or Sunday comes this site is most defintely going to crash.
Let us all know if you are going to embark on another endeavor such as this (for Fringe perhaps?).
Great Job!!!

Hi. I am an uber Lost fan. Admittedly, I jumped on the bandwagon a little late, halfway through the third season but thanks to the DVD's I am all caught up and do frequent re-watches. BTW my new image reflects my love/hate relationship with Lost. I always feel like I am on the verge of blowing up at the end of every episode because when I think I finally figured it out, nope the rug is pulled out.

  1. Hi Cocoadoll,

    Thank you so much for the kind words. It’s really been a pleasure to run this site, and I’m glad so many Lost fans have come together to make this site what it is.

    I can’t believe that in one week it will all be over (well, at least for those in the US. Unfortunately I’m in the UK and will have to wait until 28th May for the finale…).

    Anyway, it’s been a fantastic ride, and I hope everyone has enjoyed theorizing, debating, and having fun with our little friend called Lost.

    With regards to other sites, I did actually create a site for Flash Forward but haven’t done much with it and now that it’s been cancelled I don’t see any point doing anything more with it πŸ™‚

    I could do a Fringe one though because I’m a fan of Fringe also. I might wait and see if it gets picked up for a third season first though πŸ˜‰

    Watch this space!

    Again, thanks for the nice words cocoadoll x

  2. I’d regularly visit a Fringe site, if you decide to put one together… Especially now that the show has become more character driven…

    I don’t think the end of the show will spell the end of the theories though… There are going to be so many unanswered questions that’ll just be left up to speculation…

    What happened to Flash Forward? I thought it was starting to get good now that Charlie is appearing more… How the hell did they cancel that and renew V?

  3. Admin – Thanks for your patience over the year(s). I’ve had a lot of fun here. It was even more fun when people took me too seriously. Sometimes I fail to realize that sarcasm usually only works in face to face conversations.

    Anyway, I’d agree that Fringe is probably the best written sci fi show left on TV at this time (in two weeks time anyway). Flash Forward tried being like Lost too much, and people lost interest once they figured that out. Plus, there are some very annoying characters on it that managed to turn some people off completely.

    It would be great to see this site stay up for a little bit after the finale. Depending on how the finale goes, there might be a few theories that try answering things. On the other hand, a lot of people might jump ship and say “It’s finally over. Back to real life again.” Regardless, I completely understand if it’s not worth keeping up.

    Thanks for the effort (and job well done) in keeping this place clean and funcional.

  4. Don’t worry, I won’t be closing the site down once Lost has finished πŸ™‚ I realise there will be a lot of questions left unanswered and there will be plenty of discussion about the finale etc.

    I heard somewhere that the name of Lost is now a product of Disney? (Or somebody like that) and so even though the show is coming to an end, I think there will be Lost related things coming out (like books), so I guess as long as there are Lost things to talk about, and there is still activity around here, this site won’t be going anywhere for a while πŸ™‚

    Highbrow – I think the 3 month break (?) between Flash Forward was the cause of its demise. To be honest it took a while for me to get into properly and I think the way they left it before the break wasn’t a strong enough ending for people to want to get back into it. However, it has gotten much better since it’s been back, but there aren’t enough people watching it 😐 (I watch V too but out of the two I’d prefer another season of FF)

    Chief – I don’t think it was trying to be like Lost but I think all the hype about it being the “next Lost” gave people high expectations and when they realised it was nothing like Lost they didn’t stick with it. I have to admit, the character of Mark is annoying but the rest of them make up for it πŸ™‚

  5. Yeah, I didn’t get the feeling that it was trying to be like Lost but they were definitely trying to set it up to fill that nitch… I agree, the break was dumb… especially considering how slow the first half was… the first really good episode was the one that focused on Simon but I guess the damage was already done by the time that aired… oh well.

    Disney owns Lost because Disney owns ABC… I’ll bet there’s tons of Lost stuff to come like books, an animated series and a ride a Disney World… for the hardcore, purist Lost fan though it probably won’t be accepted as canon…

  6. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’ve had so much fun – not just spouting my ever-so-oft-wrong ideas and bending my mind over those posted by those much smarter than I … but most, laughing heartily at so many of the posts by the many ‘friends’ here. You have contributed much, quietly, and anonymously, but the last year(s) have been fun just because of you, across the pond. {{{{{{{{ }}}}}}}}

  7. Hey, fringe did get picked up for another season over in the states, I dont know about over in your neck of the woods though, but I have been catching up and found out that I really like it, so if it gets picked up over there in the UK, you should definitely start one, hey do you watch supernatural (and/or do you get it over there?) the show is pretty cool and character driven, even though it does the monster of the week thing and has a lot of action and the mythology is pretty cool and funny, I only started watching it after I found out Mark Pelligrino played the devil and then I got way into it, I bought the first couple of seasons on itunes and it comes on in the morning over here so I dvr all the ones I dont have. If you can check it out. To whoever brought this up, V actually has a shit load of viewers now, and I think the fifth column idea has added a little depth to the show, I watch it/listen to it when I am over on darkufo right after lost goes off, its gotten way better, give it a try.

  8. By the way….there’s a new show on NBC this Fall titled “The Event”. Try to find a trailer of it if you can. It looks like it might be up a Lost/Flash Forward fan’s alley. Sorry I don’t have a link. But there’s a 4 minute trailer out there that has me very interested.
