LOST — Lockdown clip B

“What is in the hatch?” has become one of the greatest TV cliff hangers of all time; in some minds besting “Who shot J.R.?”, “Who’s number one”, and “Who killed Laura Palmer”. In a day and age where ABC’s “LOST” has raised the bar for story-telling , all eyes are on what the creative team has cooking for an encore. Is it possible that the window for a comparable setup has passed?

At this point last season, “LOST” fans were already five episodes deep with the key question that would launch a world wide frenzy of speculation turning restlessly in their minds. Fueled by internet speculation on an unprecendented scale, “What is in the hatch” became an obsession for a large contingent of “LOST” fans. The theorys ranged from the enigmatic to the absurd, and all had one thing in common: none of them got it right. It was a coop seldom equaled in the history of television. With season two now in the imminent domain of the finale, and the growing question of what the crew will do to top last season, there seems to be something missing: anticipation.

For sure there is little in the way of new mysteries that rival the hatch in abstrusness. This has been a season divided between revealing new mysteries and answering old questions. The big question is: are they late in getting it started, or has the mystery been with us all along?

THE FORMULA: If the LOST masterminds follow the formula of season one, the finale will end on the verge of a major revelation concerning something we have been speculating about for a long time.

THE SUSPECTS: What riviting, unresolved plot point could be involved in the finale?

1. Walt. I wouldn’t say that audiences have particularly missed the young lad, but with what we have seen of Alex and the tail section children, these kidnapees come to “walk with the others”. Looked like they even raid the same costume closet. Are they brainwashed? Or do they just know something that makes it more worth their while to cooperate? The idea of convincing free spirited children to disobey their heart is a little far-fetched. The explanation could be pretty disturbing.

2. Are you him? Desmond seemed to know quite a bit more about what was going on before Jack showed up. Injecting himself with serum, freshly stocked pantry, LOTS of guns. The paranoid scot is hiding something. And just what was with the snowman riddle? Who was Desmond expecting?

3. Dad? Was it Walt? Was it one of the others? Definitely one of the best WTF moments this season. Who was on the other side of those instant messages in the hatch?

4. Chernobyl. The mysterious hallway in the hatch that seems to lead to a serious magnetic force. What could be back there? Will we find out?

5. Plane Crash. They have promised we will know how, and that the crash was no accident. Could it be the “why?” that will have fans salivating all summer for an answer? Could it be that one of our beloved losties brought Oceanic Flight 815 down?
