This was neat, but NOWHERE near the sky one promo a few years back…that was an experience.

Just a quick question…who here is kind of half expecting this final season to somehow change your life?

The bit about God’s destiny was tad intense.

“…a bit more than a month…” I WISH! It’s exactly TWO months from today. Tomorrow it will be “a bit less than two months.” I cannot tell you how upset I’ve been since they announced it wouldn’t premier until Feb. 2. I had been counting on Jan. 20. Heaping on an additional 2 week wait was cruel and unusual and almost more than I could handle.

Probably not if the answer involved pseudoscience or religious gobbly gook.

That’s the ultimate contradiction between the idea of following god’s will, whatever that means for you, and free will. Predestination is order while free will is essentially chaos that becomes ordered through action. Predestination creates a path which a person follows while free will creates that path through individual and collective action. In free will there is no future before the person acts. With fate on the other hand, even if it appears there are a multitude of possible choices, the outcome of those choices have been defined for you beforehand. And, once these choices are made the course that follows can’t be redefined.

Honestly, I can’t see how free will and fate are compatible. On the show they are exploring this very topic. The solution I believe they have come up with is that free will is the act of choosing through the expression of will or consciousness. Christian didn’t assist John in turning the wheel because John had to choose to do it himself or better yet, he had to believe or want it.

this clearly has nothing to to with the season itself its just a cool way of advertising. the commercials always draw on free will and fate as fact or fiction in LOST but in the show itself there is no definitive answer. it is supposed to get people excited and it is working.

That’s fine. I do like it, but ultimately, it’s probably based on nothing from the season. In the end, any relation to the final season is probably coincidental.

Okay is it pathetic that I was trying to find some kind of hint in who was being shown with which words under them?

Argh. This hiatus time just kills me.

I don’t think there’s an answer really, but the conundrum is certainly mind-bending. But, what I want to know is does the island (or some other entity via the island) actually possess properties to manipulate matter or are we supposed to take it on “faith” that various unexplained hokus-pokus occurs naturally? Or is it all simply a product of imagination?

My biggest problem is with the chess analogy. Chess pieces have no free will – there is a controller making every decision.
The characters on Lost have shown that they do have free will (at least it appears that way,) so the chess analogy does not apply.

The promo showed the characters on a chess board, implying that the actions were all part of the “game,” and that the events all happened in the particular way that they did because that was the only way that it could be, and denies the idea of free will.

But I’ve got a feeling that we’re reading way to much into this.
What it really boils down to is that it’s a commercial that I don’t like.

Here’s a question: Say God revealed to you in a prayer that if you made a certain choice that it would ruin your life. Or call it a premonition, if you’re Godless. You make that choice and no shit your life becomes a living Hell. Is there at any point a way to turn that fortune around once you’re stuck in it?

Yes, it’s a question based on my reality. But…

Those Losties were on that plane for various choices they’d made. Does it take a nuclear blast to change things (well, if the boombadabad worked)? This goes beyond Fate because there was a clear choice or chain of actions that put you on that path.

IF there is Fate and a God, He-She-It knows the choices you will make even though He-She-It might try to warn you at times. So then what is the point? Are we not then all players for an Intelligence that cannot die so must continue on its path of life creation…and suffering? Some people succeed and are happy or brave and triumphant, maybe 1,000 to 1 for those that suffer miserably. Does He-She-It suffer along with us or are we simply players in an un-grand play to while away His-Her-Its endless existence….?

Hmmmmmm…….
