This is true and what makes it even more interesting if it's true that LOST was created, or at least initiated by a Corporate Suit.

And I loved the Echo line.

There's virtually no way Michael can still be alive.

Christian (or Jacob, whatever) popped up and basically said his job was done - the island had no more use for him. He was at ground zero when the bomb exploded.

Jin, on the other hand, could've been blown into the water from the force of the explosion, as he was pretty close to the edge of the freighter.

It's sort of true. But the original idea was so completely different, and so much more mainstream and not weird, that it was basically an entirely different show until J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof came onboard.

There's a lot of spitting going on in the Outhouse today.

My sister brought up an intresting point. Does Walt have to go back to the island with Jack and the others. I didn't think so at first but then why would Locke have gone to see him?

That's what I thought too. But if he is dead were does it leave Walt?

Without a father. They were estranged anyway.

Harold Perrineau brought up a good point in an interview, saying he wished Michael would've gotten some sort of redemption with Walt.. but they can always do that with Michael as a ghost or vision or whatever.

And about your previous post, yeah.. I think Walt has to go back too.

Ben said everyone has to go back. To me, that means:

Jack
Kate
Sun
Hurley
Sayid
Aaron
Walt
Desmond (that's gonna be a tough one, unless Ben kills Penny or Penny goes with him)
Ben
Locke

'Cause the island still needs them? I dunno.

I'd like to see Micheal redeem himself too.

I don't know about Ben being on the list though. He was pretty broken up when he was moving the island. He said he couldn't go back.

I wonder if Frank has to go back to the island along with the others. Even if he doesn't, I would still like to see more of Frank on Lost. Sawyer calling him Kenny Rogers was pure comedy gold!

Well once he starts time traveling again (he did get bonked on the head in the copter crash), that might be a catalyst for him to go back.

He can't go back because he doesn't know where it is. But you KNOW he desperately wants to go back. He's grouping himself with the Oceanic 6-ers because he knows the island will let them back.. so if they find the way back to the island, and he's with them, he'll be able to return.

The death of Michael was the only thing that annoyed me. I was looking forward to him meeting up with the rest of the Losties.

I'm sure it's not the last we'll see of him.

Although, it MIGHT be after he ran his mouth off in an interview after the episode aired about how him being killed off was racist and other such bullshit...

Does anyone else feel like this island is Atlantis?

It could be. I'm certainly not discounting it.. but personally, I'd rather it not be Atlantis necessarily. Something along the same lines, sure.. but I want it to be it's own thing.
