Ah, so it is confirmed that he's going to be a regular. That's going to make a LOT of people happy :D
As for Amelia and Karl, hmmm. I wonder from what part of Kate's life this will be. Pre-Wayne murder, or after first horse-aided escape?
DESMOND DIED!!!!! HE D I E D!!!!!!!! HE SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO SAVE LOCKE & THE OTHERS!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
It soooooooo cheapens the S2 finale for me that Desmond survived the fail-safe key. They went to great lengths to make it seem so 'final', and yet...apparently it wasn't. If all that happens is a bright white light, why didn't Kelvin ever just do it sooner? I could ramble on and on and on...
Can't wait for the Kate flashback. I hope it takes her back to her roots; crime! She did too much good in season 2, need more sneaky Kate in season 3.

I see what you're saying about the Desmond-factor. Here's to hoping that the failsafe did something really, really, REALLY effed up, so that the whole drama wasn't just wasted.
Maybe he'll get the sickness or something. Or his face will melt off. I don't know.
But calm down, the season hasn't even started yet :rotfl:

huh? I don't think they made it seem final at all. I think he thought he was sacrificing himself but, that doesn't mean he did. we don't know what happened down there he might be hurt, really bad, the blast (or whatever that was) may have protected him, WE DON'T KNOW YET! that is the point. plus there seems to be much more Desmond story to tell so I for one and very glad that they are.
however I admit I don't understand the idea of the failsafe key, and why Kelvin (or anyone else before him for that matter) wouldn't have turned the key if that was all that was needed to "fix" the problem
Right. In the words of Ricky Ricardo: They have some 'splainin to do. If it makes sense, I'll have no gripes. But the voiceover scene of Desmond and Penny right before he turned that key, seemed so final. As if they planned to write him out of the show, but then based on his fanbase wrote him back into the show as a regular? That's how it seems to me all because of THAT scene...where she's crying...then the blinding light...was I being misdirected or did it NOT seem like he was sacrificing himself, and that he knew he was, but he went through with it because it had to be done?

A twenty year old Karl? Maybe we are going to learn about Kate's prevoius marriage that she mentioned in The Outlaws, the one that didn't last very long.

I think that was the point (to make it SEEM like he was sacrificing himself). I think we all assumed like Desmond did...like Kelvin did...that the switch made hatch go boom! But no one REALLY knew. It was information fed to Kelvin then fed to Desmond then fed to Locke. It goes back to DHARMA being a big psychological mindf*ck.
Also, in the context to how Charlie reacted when he was asked where Locke and Eko were he said "Oh. They're not back yet." completely straight-faced. Fenry not being fazed when he saw the light.
All signs point to they didn't die.
I think this opens up a whole strew of interesting storylines. Desmond realizing he's not dead, believes he was given a second chance, and does everything to get back to Penny. Or maybe he collapses and ends up drinking himself silly because he can't figure out what's real and what's not on the island. Imagine the shift of faith with Eko and Locke. That's going to be a great storyline.
I've got great hope for the Losties now. All of a sudden they're not tethered to the Button, and they're entire world has opened up for them. You just know that Hurley is going to try to get Sawyer, Jack, and Kate back. Sayid will want to know more about the giant foot he found. AND they have a boat. At some point, they're going to sail around the island.
I'm not even going to get into the Others.
But were we mislead? Absolutely! But not any more or less than any other season ending cliffhanger in any other great show in history.
Not disputing anything anyone has said thus far, however, I want to include the definition of fail-safe:
If something is fail-safe, it has been designed so that if one part of it does not work, the whole thing does not become dangerous. [a fail-safe device/mechanism]
Personally, I think that they (meaning Desmond, Kelvin, Radzinski, et al.) were led to believe that turning the fail-safe key would bring their demise.
But, I've always understood a fail-safe key to be a cautionary system, to prevent a complete and utter melt-down/destruction of something. e.g. a fail-safe key or system at a nuclear reactor would shut down the whole system before a meltdown of the reactor.
So, as KF2 has said, they're going to have a lot of explaining to do, considering the vibe they gave all of us.....

To this entire post. Well-said.
I know many of us (*coughKF2coughcough*) were very disappointed in the quality of Season 2, especially the writing and treatment of the characters.
But I still think that Season 3 has great, GREAT potential. If they can focus on the right things, bring the storyline along, improve how they write the characters, it could be the best season yet.
(I mean, FENRY IS A REGULAR NOW!)
So here's to being optimistic that TPTB are going to shape up, and blow our little minds :D

If the writers don't sink that boat in one of the first episodes of season 3.

If.
OMG its LFG

ah, the big IF
Turning the key caused the system to shut down. Hence it was clearly labeled "CAUTION: System Shutdown". Since at that point the computer had already been destroyed (smashed) it could no longer be used to shut down the system, thereby preventing the electromagnetic field from increasing beyond safe limits. The key was merely a backup or fail-safe means of doing what the computer normally did, albeit after the field strength had already begun to increase.
One of TPTB stated that if Desmond had not turned the key "It would have sucked the planet in", or words to that effect. However, Desmond apparently believed by doing so it would lead to his demise, but he was wrong in his assumption.
Turning the key simply caused the eletromagnetic field to collapse instead of continuing to increase in field strength, the end result of this being the bright sky we saw. Simply put, Desmond literally saved the world.

I hope Des returns with much more screen time next season.
Can't wait for the Kate flashback. I hope it takes her back to her roots; crime! She did too much good in season 2, need more sneaky Kate in season 3. :pray: Let's hope so...

Mildly spoilerish, mostly confirms what alot of us suspected.
I haven't seen this mentioned in this forum so here it is.
SCOTS actor Henry Ian Cusick is set to solve the mysteries of Lost and become a main character in the smash-hit TV show.
American viewers have already seen the cliff-hanger finale of the second series that leaves Cusick's character, Desmond, facing death.
The actor, from Newton Mearns, near Glasgow, was only due to make a few appearances in the tropical island drama.
But after receiving "keep the sexy Scot" petitions from viewers, producers decided to write in a miraculous escape in the episode to be shown on Channel 4 in September.
Cusick, who has signed a megabucks contract, said: "I've been asked to be a regular for at least a year.
"I have to be in Hawaii at the beginning of August to start filming and my family are moving out to join me later.
"It's a great opportunity for me and I'm grabbing it with both hands."
Cusick, who is half-Peruvian, plays Desmond, a castaway discovered by the other survivors inside the mysterious hatch.
His intense performance won him a surprise Emmy nomination for outstanding guest actor.
In series three, due on British TV next year, Desmond's girlfriend Penelope will be seen desperately trying to find him after he disappeared on a round-the-world yacht trip.
And her quest could be the key to rescuing all the stranded survivors, who are thought by the outside world to have died in a plane crash.

:) Very true! Nice job!
I was just joking with you......I figured if I didn't say it, someone else would. :)
Believe it or not, that article was my ammunition for getting the Desmond, Fenry, Rose, and Bernard character forums added last night, so it's worth repeating! :Cheers:

Dooownthehatch gets a pass. The link given was the same thread. That beats most attempts in my book. Welcome to the LOST world.
