The College Humor video below is a pretty impressive collection of questions that the “Lost” writers left unanswered. Now, before you Losties get all crazy and write things like, “Actually, the DHARMA initiative clearly explained the electromagnetic forces at the center of the island,” just RELAX and take a few deep breaths. A lot of these are meant jokingly, okay? This video is meant as a humorous piece, not an invitation for you to refute the queries by citing the episode or Damon Lindelof interview that sufficiently answered one of the questions.
As for everyone else who never watched “Lost” — and I know that’s actually a lot of you — bear with me just a little bit longer. We’re almost out of this hurricane of “Lost” news. Soon enough, we’ll have a few fans proposing that “Battlestar Galactica” was actually a better genre series than “Lost,” the dorks will take their fights to the dim Internet alleys of message boards, and I can get back to Photoshopping cats and making fun of fat people.
The only question I had after the finale was, “Why didn’t Kate take off her clothes more?”


I will just assume you meant the fat people that AREN’T into comic books or Star Trek, right?
Right, the OTHER fat people: sports fans and people who watch a lot of non-sci-fi TV.
Basically: Americans.
Fuckin magnets yo.
How come Juliette never showed up at my apartment in a raincoat and high heels? Did she not read all my fanfic!?
Melmac > Lost Island
Yeah, THAT. Fuckers.
They missed one of my unanswered questions. Why are pregnant women so annoying?
/not just in Lost.
Seriously, I know so little about Lost that it isn’t even funny. Look:

If you scroll half way down from this post from…oh TWO YEARS AGO, Bex wins a COTW with a Smoke Monster reference. Even with Vinny’s reference to Lost right there, I still didn’t “get” that joke until about a moth ago when some place (probably here) had some bullcrap about unanswered questions from Lost. Oh…THAT smoke monster!
A wizard did it.
I’ve honestly forgotten most of the questions I had during the run of the show, but I know there were quite a few of them. All of those people who “invested” time in trying to figure all of that out must be distraught. The thought of that is hilarious.
If someone directs $10 into my PayPal account I can answer at least half of those.
I get the Pacific and Lost mixed up all the time so I’m constantly yelling “GET HIM! HE’S RIGHT THERE WITHOUT A GUN!”
At least there will be no more “Run to the temple from the beach through The jungle” “Run to the beach from the Cabin through the jungle” “Run to the hatch to ther beach to the temple to the A-Bomb through the Jungle.” “run to the submarine through the jungle…”
If you edited out all of the time spent walking through the jungle on “Lost” episodes from their full DVD Series set, the remainder would comprise two discs.
I take offense! We’re geeks (and some nerds) — *not* dorks!!
