Lost - Paul Scheer Reads Terrible Questions from Fans (Paley Center Interview)

[@JHallenbeck]

I think the question "Yo, what's the deal with the island?" is still a good question to ask.

[@SomeNiceMovies]

Yeah, but they wouldn't answer it before the final season has aired. They're still not really answering it, lol

[@laurenrogers]

Now I desperately want a Ben/Locke rap battle

[@mollymcdade4031]

Ben (or rather Michael Emerson) would wipe the floor with him. Granted it’d probably be more of a spoken poetry recitation but…

[@maladaptvs]

I really do want to see what houses the characters would be in 😂

[@Tom-ym2fk]

(LOST ANSWERS) Question: What was that big (Hurley) bird we see in the season 1 finale? Answer: Another animal experiment the (Dharma Initiative) were doing, they were also doing this with the (Polar Bears) on the island. Question: Why was (Walt) Special? Answer: The island is (Special) Rose's cancer has gone, Locke can walk, Desmond see's the future, Hurley is not cursed, ect... so its the island that makes them special. Question: Why was (Libby) in the mental Institution? Answer: She said her husband passed away, maybe it was stress from her loss and that's why she was in the mental home. Question: What was the (Flash Sideways) world in season six? Answer: It was a (Purgatory) world the characters created for themselves, all the island story was real, when everyone finally passed away they all meet in that would and then they Move On together. LOST: SEASON SIX FINALE, EXPLAINED!! Okay a lot of people don't understand the ending to lost, so I'm going to explain it as simple as I possibly can. All the (Island Story) was REAL it 100% happened, okay so now we are clear on that, lets move on. The (Flash-Sideways) were a "Purgatory" world or in better terms (Heaven) and what ever happens in that world like for example (Sawyer) being a cop, (Hurley) has good luck ect is just what they have made, its like a world they have created for themselves until they finally MOVE ON. Now its not until everyone has finally died that they move on together in that church, that could have been 30 years plus depending on when they died, for example (Jack) died on the island at the end of season six, he then entered the (Flash-Sideways) world waiting for the rest to Pass Away so they can move on. Kate could have died 30 years after Jack did, so really the people in the (Purgatory) world could have been waiting a long long time. In the end they all move on together, the people who were not in the church has no (Redemption) or had unfinished business that's why they could not move on YET, Like (Michael) for example he was stuck on the island because he had to earn his redemption back for killing Anna Lucia and Libby. Desmond had to put out the LIGHT thinking it would stop the (MIB) and hoping it would keep the island from destroying itself, but really it was JACK that had to keep the LIGHT alive and keep the heart of the island SAFE, so he would not let John Locke's death be in vain. Jack now believed every word Locke was saying about DESTINY. Hurley and Ben take over the Island while in the meantime Jack, Claire, Sawyer, Richard, Miles, Frank, FLY AWAY on the plane. Now the MIB is dead JOHN LOCKE now remembers in the FLASH-SIDEWAYS world. Now when they touched each other they had a (FLASH) and that made them remember their best time in the past, and that happens to be the time they spent on the island. They remember each other and then realise they are in a Purgatory world. But yes everything that happened on the ISLAND did in fact happen it was all REAL,

[@OnlyANickel]

Just a quick comment, not a criticism: Purgatory and Heaven are not the same thing/place.

[@pikalove8201]

why are random things in parentheses?

[@Valoelify]

+pikalove Idiot. There was nothing random about what he said. Read it again.

[@GNBE-ll7ot]

"Question: Why was (Walt) Special? Answer: The island is (Special) Rose's cancer has gone, Locke can walk, Desmond see's the future, Hurley is not cursed, ect... so its the island that makes them special" Well tha'ts too easy in my opinion! The island has healing powers for everyone yes but that doesn't explain why Walt in particular was special! Why a lot of people has visions of him sweating in the jungle? Desmond see's the future because he turned the safe key there is a reason! And like Ben said at the end of season 2 "we got more that we hoped for when Walt joined us" why? what did he get? There is no answers!

[@lestade682]

Barney Stinson Walt "summoned" a bird he had in a book. The bird ended up crashing on a window at his house. Walt was special before getting to the island. We got no answer because he grew up very fast and was difficult to explain that growing within the show's timeline.

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

I'd be interested to hear that ideas they scrapped as the series progressed. I'm guessing one of them was the back-story behind Jacob's cabin.

[@dakotamanomgwtf]

I love how they call it a "whoosh".

[@opalexian]

I just found this 2010 series of interviews. Thank you , Paley Center, for sticking with the interesting shows and asking the best questions. (AKA WOW, that was close to saying 'whats the ending??" and still getting answers out of the writers.) ....but you really should have pressed about where the monkeys were. >_>

[@Thewarrior26]

Exactly I think that was the most important question of all.

[@relaxinmaxin7246]

It seamed strange early in the series after the plane crash no one was having a problem with no coffee.

[@csifan90]

Thanks for posting this!!!!

[@PuertoricanFrodo]

i enjoyed this! is nice to see the actors out of the island.

[@fatsmackdada]

I want to see a rap duo between Ben and Locke

[@greyeyed123]

Jacob was 2000 years old. Why would you think he was 300? As for your other questions, they are not answerable. As Mother said, "Every question I answer will simply lead to another question. You should rest. Just be grateful you're alive." (If you need an answer, it's turtles all the way down.) (BTW, the Egyptians put the Egyptian stuff there. The island moved quite often, and since Jacob brought people there for 2000 years... Just put 2 and 2 together.)

[@scott4708]

Top Chef metaphor rocked!

[@mythofechelon]

"You know"..

[@theclawyaww3740]

there is an epilouge that explain those its called A new man in charge i think it is on youtube maybe they removed it

[@DrocasMan]

oh, you saw the video too?

[@maladaptvs]

Anna Lucia hasn’t spoken in any interview I’ve seen of this channel.... (Also I’m sorry I’m drawing a blank on her actual name)

[@spamsingles5948]

Michelle Rodriguez

[@ShItHAPPeNns1]

it was in the dharma hydra island zoo

[@CheifKat]

woah thats weird i just started watching the league today

[@eastcoasteric]

What they never really explained is the beginning history of the island and why or who put certain things there. That and how old Jacob is compared to the island. Is he 2,000 years old or 300? Does the island hold significance to the actual creation of earth? Stuff like that needed to be answered because we all know that the island exsisted, but the characters all died at one point in time. Hence the end and the big meet. It was just never explained WHY it was like that either.

[@pampampam543]

Its a BIG reference to our world, its creation. We want answers who we are, where we go, but we will never get them.

[@nancyhernandez6477]

company on water bottles? does anyone else see that

[@alexstone108]

A lot of weird passive aggression in this on the part of Paul Scheer.

[@youngwolf6896]

How come Walt had powers BEFORE going to the island? How come Desmond didn’t die when the hatch blew up? Surely that’s impossible.

[@albanovkonrad]

1) He just does. Most movies or TV shows that have psychic characters don't explain how they became psychic, you're are just meant to assume they were born that way 2) The Hatch didn't blow up, it imploded. According to the show's funky (pseudo)science, high exposure to electromagnetic activity can cause teleportation (for example, when Ben turned the wheel and teleported to the desert). This is apparently how Desmond winded up lying in the jungle after turning the key.

[@masterofdragons82]

@@albanovkonrad Very well said. For the first answer, you could have just said because he was special. I honestly don't know why people ask that question. For the second question it's also because the island thought he had to survive to do something important later on

[@vansoffthewall3001]

Andre is just so easy to hate

[@HotPocketsBoy]

Jesus all the writers have glasses

[@micaelalewis9807]

!!! JOOP !!!

[@joyfulsoul2011]

So basically the writers clashed and they ran out of time to complete the story and they just killed all the characters in the end. I can't believe how many questions I still have about this show. It's gonna take me awhile to get over this failure.

[@greyeyed123]

There were not dead the whole time. I'd be happy to point you to the answers to any questions you have.

[@DanY-gx2dv]

Kay Sweetie Nothing in this interview backs up what you said. Where do you get the writers clashed from?

[@joyfulsoul2011]

This show just didn't make sense to me. There were too many unexplained episodes. I just didn't like it at all.

[@DanY-gx2dv]

Kay Sweetie Didn't answer my question but okay. Nothing in the show was enjoyable? Lol impossible.

[@joyfulsoul2011]

I don't have to answer your question, the show was interesting to me, I watched all 6 seasons on netflix, but as I was watching I was waiting for story lines to be explained or completed, but it only led to more questions. So yes because of the all of the unanswered questions, this experience was horrible for me.

[@NotACreativeName32]

I wish they brought up the polar bear

[@Jive33]

Was the polar bear ever explained in the show?

[@joshhunt4146]

Jiveturkey yes, in season 3 and 4.

[@nancyhernandez6477]

best show eva! lol idk

[@liljeffgordon64]

@ Alex Stone Passive aggression ? I dont think you know what that means. It didn't seem like he was being indirectly hostile at all, his mannerisms are exactly how they normally are, hes just talking.
