TOP TEN LOST LOOSE ENDS
As voted on by you, the Lost fan. The most FREQUENTLY cited mysteries, in declining order:
No. 10 What is the significance of the black and white stones found near the waterfall?
No. 9 Why do the Others use disguises?
No. 8 What are the Others doing to their abducted children?
No. 7 Where is Walt?
Burning Walt questions: ''Why is Walt wet when he 'visits' our castaways? Why does he speak backwards? Why is he allowed to 'instant message' his dad?''
No. 6 What is the Monster?
Burning Monster question: Could there be two (or more?) different Monsters — the black smoke monster that let Mr. Eko live, and the unseen beast that (allegedly) slaughtered the pilot?
No. 5 Jack's dad's casket was found empty. What happened to the body?
Sidenote: ''…in season 1 episode 1, when we see Jack coming out of the jungle, there is a man that is running and holding his head and saying something. This same person reappears in episode 5 as the coroner that shows Jack's father's body to Jack.''
No. 4 Who are the ''Adam and Eve'' skeletons found at the waterfall?
No. 3 Where is Michael?
ANSWER Hey! A question with an answer! Go figure! As of last week's episode, he was passed out at Jack and Kate's feet.
And, running almost dead even for the top two slots:
No. 2 Where is Desmond?
''In the first episode of season 2, Jack's flashback shows his early encounter with Desmond. When Jack stumbles while jogging in the stadium, Desmond offers his assistance AND A SIP OF HIS WATER. Given the repeated mention of some infection on the Island (and a vaccine), in addition to many characters hallucinating, could Desmond have intentionally (or perhaps unintentionally) infected Jack with some kind of virus, nanobot, or mind-altering substance that would ensure his arrival on the Island? Who is Desmond, anyhow? Could he work for [Dharma Initiative founders] the DeGroots 'recruiting' people for the Island Experience? Or maybe he's as much an innocent as the rest, and was simply a carrier of whatever it is he passed along to Jack when he shared the water. The sip of water may seem like a small clue, but I believe it is somehow related to the infection on the Island. In the most recent new episode, we see Ethan drugging Claire with bottled water, so the precedent does exist within the show for such a thing to happen. The question remains: What was in that bottle of water that Desmond shared with Jack?''
No. 1 What happened to Locke's legs?
''In the first-season episode called 'Numbers,' while Hurley is talking with his accountant in a skyscraper, a man falls outside the window, plummeting down to the ground. I've always wondered if that was just the 'Hurley curse' affecting someone in his general area — or if it has to do with one of the LOSTIES. Perhaps Locke: In freeze-frames, I've been able to see that the guy wears the same sort of short-sleeved shirt Locke does to work. Maybe this is how he lost use of his legs?! Taking a plunge off a building? Until we find out how Locke messed up his legs, this scene will still sit in the back of my mind as a mystery.''
DOC JENSEN AWARD FOR ''LOOSE END NOBODY ELSE NOTICED'':
Why is there a book on electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation in the Hatch? I noticed this a while back, in one of the first episodes where they showed the interior of the Hatch. It jumped out at me because of the topic and because I knew it was a recent book — published by my employer in 2001. I think it's the Guide to ECG Analysis, by Catalano, but I don't have an episode tape to double-check. Why would Desmond need an ECG book? He didn't seem to know about the Medical Hatch, which would be a more likely home for this kind of book.''
