L O S T

[graywarrior]

It's on tonight, and man, do I need to watch something that's not gonna make me want to rip someone's fucking face off.

[SoxFan]

1. Something to get you primed for later...

[graywarrior]

4. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Boppin' and a-rockin'!

[RadiationTherapy]

2. So glad you are back. I always look for the 'real' L O S T thread and haven't seen it lately.

But I am thankful for the others, of course.

Here is a weird video I made a while back with weird, soothing music. I think.

[graywarrior]

5. THAT is fucking PISSAH!

[madinmaryland]

3. Yeah. I'm in San Antonio and

ALL OF THE DUCKS ARE FREE!!!

FREE THE DUCK!!

:evilgrin:

[graywarrior]

6. How's the duck shit?

[madinmaryland]

7. There were a whole SHIT LOAD of DUCKS down by the River Front!

:hi:

[graywarrior]

8. I bet you just qwak them up.

[madinmaryland]

10. There is a local news correspondent down here with the name Qwak.

I shit you not!

:rofl:

AND SHE IS FREE!

[graywarrior]

11. She's not free of your attention...lol

[Ohio Joe]

9. I don't know

They are teasing that Ben gets killed tonight. At least we should get lots of Ben :D

[graywarrior]

12. I've been missing Ben

[XemaSab]

35. Ben's MY boyfriend

:P

[charlie and algernon]

13. oh crap, HUGE clue given in the replay of last week's episode

at the bottom of the screen, it just referenced what Widmore said to Locke:

That if he doesn't get to the Island, the WRONG side would win.


So is that just a HUGE clue that Jacob is the bad guy, NOT Esau (fauxlocke?

[TCJ70]

14. I think that just shows that Widmore has an interest in one side...

...who really knows if he's the right side or not.

[charlie and algernon]

15. good point

we may not know which side is the "right side" till the series finale.


heh, i loved the "Jacob was like my father" "uh oh!"

The way Miles says "uh oh!" cracks me up :rofl:

[swimboy]

20. He did get back to the island, though. n/t

[tishaLA]

16. Gah I missed the first 5 minutes.

But I just watch the east coast feed on the net anyhow....my tv gives me the real broadcast at 9

[tishaLA]

17. the actress who plays Alex was awful in that scene with Dr Linus

when she revealed the principal's behavior.

[swimboy]

22. this means she was not Linus's daughter, doesn't it? n/t

[tishaLA]

23. yup. But I don't know what else it means

[TCJ70]

30. She wasn't really Ben's daughter on the island either.

She was Rousseau's daughter that Ben kidnapped.

[Ohio Joe]

18. Are you a cyborg?

bwahahahahaha, classic Hurley.

[Ohio Joe]

19. Wait... did I miss something? (minor spoiler)

So Richard is now against both Jacob and NotLocke? What caused this change?

[tishaLA]

21. "Linus, you're a real killer"

bwahahahaha

[charlie and algernon]

24. Michael Emmerson just won himself another Emmy

a fantastic monologue from a fantastic actor

[TCJ70]

25. That was a really good scene...

...and Ben's redemption continues. He didn't give in to Locke's vague promises. I didn't see her forgiving him...good stuff.

[charlie and algernon]

27. i like the dichotomy of alternate ben turning from good to bad

while island ben is slowly redeeming himself. Ben's speech during the season finale, right before he kills Jacob is one of the painful speeches you'll hear on TV. He, and Richard, are two men who devoted their lives to the island only to see everything they stood for turned upside down and destroyed.

[Goblinmonger]

53. He is such a great actor

He looked so beaten at the end of the show. He just pulls sympathy from you.

[Ohio Joe]

26. That was indeed awesome

He walks the line between good and evil so well.

[Fleshdancer]

29. That's exactly what I thought

and Ilena's reaction? Now I REALLY want to know more about her. She said to Ben what Jacob should have said years ago. Sad and beautiful.

[MadBadger]

33. I would agree, but lately Emmy hates LOST

He'll get nominated, but then lose to some BS character

[graywarrior]

34. Fine by us, we know he's deserving

[swimboy]

28. Wow. That was actually kind of . . . uplifting.

Then Widmore shows up.

[graywarrior]

31. Debbie the Downer, Widmore. He's like Cheney.

[MadBadger]

32. Best Episode of the season

[slay]

37. Meh I felt it more filler in some areas

although great insight into Ben. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed it, but thought the Claire ep from 2 weeks ago a bit better. Still - awesome ep - and looks like things are bout to get crazy! Everything is in place, sides have been chosen, and Whidmore is on the horizon! Too bad I knew Alan Dale plays Whidmore - saw his name in the credits so when he hadn't shown up by the final minute... doh. Man - good stuff. :)

[MadBadger]

38. Ditto on the Alan Dale part.

[Goblinmonger]

56. I didn't think it was filler at all.

I view the show as more of a character sketch than a plot-driven series. Sure I want answers to the questions, but the transitions/transformations the characters are making seem more important to the overall theme of the work and this episode had that to a crazy level.

[slay]

57. I guess I should say compared to last week's action packed ep

this seemed a bit.. less. Heh. Was still a great ep, as can be said about most of Lost, just not my fav of the season. The decisions made by Ben were classic - he semi-redeemed himself. I was shocked when he was given a choice to go back with Sun, Lapidis and the others that he chose that over the option to o with the fake Locke and "rule the island". Very interesting. Looks like Ben is finally starting to admit to some of his actions have been wrong. Which is maybe the result Jacob was looking for all along? Hmmm... :evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

36. I loves me some Ben

Mighty fine TV tonight. Mighty fine TV. :D

[elleng]

39. Damn! Missed it, and not on Hulu yet.

[elleng]

40. Anyones noticing 'Kate' all over tv for l'Oreal????

[swimboy]

46. Yeah, Freckles without freckles!

:hi:

[Bucky]

41. I think I figured out what the island is (potentially a SPOILER, unless I figured it out wrong)

I think it's the Garden of Eden, Jacob is the angel who's supposed to guard it from Adam & Eve returning and MIB is the flaming sword--the Original Security System. So Jacob's the bad guy cause he got bored just keeping humanity out of Eden and Smokey is the other bad guy cause he's been trying to leave the sentry post God put them both at ever since the island's guardian started luring people onto the island out of boredom.

That makes Ilana, as Jacob's daughter, a Nephilim.

[MorningGlow]

43. I said it last week (or was it the week before), and I'm gonna say it again

It's a cork. Check out the clues from E! Online in the recap this week:

That Four-Letter Word…For you who are still guessing the four-letter word that describes what the island is, here are the clues you know:

* It has one vowel.
* It has no A's and no E's.

And here's your new clue:

* Umm...Please don't whine that I can't say anything more right now! Sorry!

(Bold emphasis mine.) Why am I bringing it up again? BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY THING ABOUT LOST THAT I'VE EVER GUESSED RIGHT!
:rofl:

Now...what's it corking? The bowels of hell? That's my vote.

[Fleshdancer]

44. I've read that before, but....

cork sounds so odd to me. How can the island be a cork when corks float but we see the island under water in the side flash?

[MorningGlow]

45. Not literally

It's existence is stoppering up something, and if the island is not tended, whatever it is that it's preventing from getting out WILL get out and make a mess of life on earth (evil?)

[Goblinmonger]

54. I think cork and eden go together well

The island could be the stopgap to paradise.

[Bucky]

60. In the side timeline, after the island is destroyed... all the characters are fixing themselves.

They're not perfect, but they each seem to be doing a slightly better job of muddling through life and solving their hang ups. Even Locke's dad seemed to be less of a bastard. Did Jack & Juliet blowing up the island actually kill evil in the world?

[Goblinmonger]

64. I don't know about killing evil

but something. Locke is still paralyzed. Sayid was still a torturer (though certainly doing a better job of redemption). But they seem to be on better paths when they aren't being manipulated by the evil Jacob :evilgrin: We don't even know if Sawyer is still a con man.

[Bucky]

65. I think they hinted at that in the airplane, when he cautioned Hurley about revealing his wealth.

Of course that could just be a set up. We'll know how "redeemed" Sawyer is when we do his flashback. If people are calling him James instead of Sawyer, he's on the path to self improvement. Actually, I'm more interested in seeing the slidetimewise version of Jin and Sun. I just don't see how he'll get back to the plucky fisherman's son he once was. In Island time, it's been three years since he's seen his wife. I'm pretty sure Sun has had at least a couple of affairs in that time (most likely with Charles Widmore). She's not the most faithful spouse in the world, even if she did manage to keep her mitts off Michael.

[Goblinmonger]

66. I thought that was a misdirect

since it went nowhere. I'm guessing he's trying hard to be a stand up guy. Maybe his parents never got killed by Locke's dad since we know Locke is still in touch with him.

[SoxFan]

58. "Putz"

Hey, that fits, too...

[amyrose2712]

47. I have a somewhat similar theory...

I hadn't actually thought of it as "The Garden of Eden" but that is a good idea. I was thinking more in the lines of them being angels testing men. Or possibly living out a punishment from god. I reminds me somewhat of Bartleby and Loki's situation from the movie Dogma. Or Lucifer's stance as written in Memnoch the Devil. I don't know if there is a "good" or "bad" side. There are a few things tht the Man in Black has said that make me think this. "They come, they kill, they destroy , they corrupt, it always ends the same." Makes me think that he is not "evil" Also, when he tells, I think Sawyer, that he has been hurt and he has loved and that he wanted to go home. This leads me to think that possibley they have be forced there by "god" These are just thoughts. Sorry if they are incoherent. I know what the hell I am trying to say. I think. So, it goes with LOST.

[soleft]

42. Half way thru Ben's speech my partner handed me a box of kleenex

She knows me so well.

[amyrose2712]

48. Ben looked so very dejected in that last shot. I felt so bad for him. nt

[graywarrior]

49. Jack, on the other hand, kicked ass

[amyrose2712]

50. Yes, annoyingly so.

[graywarrior]

51. Lots of twitching going on.

Bring back Sawyer!!!!

[amyrose2712]

52. YES! I love me some Sawyer.

[graywarrior]

59. Too many weeks without him.

Sheesh. We have needs.

[Goblinmonger]

55. That dynamite scene, was, well....

dynamite. (sorry)

Great transition for Jack from a man of science to a man of faith.

[Bucky]

61. And he did it all without any Jackface!

No doubt about it: Jack is the one who's going to take down Smokey McMIB.

And one last prediction: just to screw with the fans, Sawyer is going to end up with Sun.

[XemaSab]

62. I prefer Hurley and Sun

:P

And on edit: Her name would be Sun Reyes, which is WAY TOO PERFECT.

[graywarrior]

63. Hahahahahahahaha! Sun! OMG! Hahahahahaha!

[soleft]

67. So who are the remaining six again?

Jack
Hurley
Sawyer
Sayid? Still?
Kwon - which one?
Kate?

[XemaSab]

68. You're forgetting Walt

:P
