TV: Lost

[QuigonWindu]

Maybe Sawyer decided to come home after all. After the copter with the Oceanic 6 left. Sawyer decided he needed to get back to Kate. Because he loves her. So he went under a new alias so as to not spoil any secrets of the island, and he went home on the freighter.

When Kate rejects him and he is left with nothing and no-one he takes his own life. Jack is the only person who attends his funeral.

I mean, I don't know, I'm still picking Ben. But this came to me yesterday.

[DblDwn]

Kate would be there. She has feelings for Sawyer, that is why she was so hurt by his comment in the bedroom, so she wouldn't have dismissed his death and had the attitude about why Jack would think that she would want to pay any respects. She would be devastated if something happened to Sawyer.

[Blizzard]

^That's what I was going to say. Kate would never had said, "Why would I go?" if Sawyer was in the box.

[JackBauer24]

I just had a brainstorm. Maybe it's Justin Timberlake's **** in the box.

[DblDwn]

LOL!!!! Nice.

[Blizzard]

Okay, now that was funny. :lol:

Rumor has it that we're getting an extra episode this year.

A genuine episode, or another "all-new" arrangement of clips and lame-o voice-over?

No, a REAL new episode. Check it out:

TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[STar war spUNK]

I HATE THIS DAMN SHOW. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. another damn week of waiting for the next episode of confusion.

[Ripley]

I'll be honest I'm surprised the writers had big enough balls to go through with it.

[Blizzard]

My rabbit ears had a meltdown and I hardly saw anything. Heard a whole lot of screaming, though.

[Blizzard]

I am going to try to watch this episode online... but I still can't think of anythign that could be said about it.

Besides knowing that Sayid isn't being Forced to work for Ben, he's doing it as revenge.

[kopernikuz]

I'll be honest I'm surprised the writers had big enough balls to go through with it.
With what? They copped out where I thought they'd really lay the hammer down...

If they'd had real balls... Claire would've been dead under that rubble, but it was just a tease. If they'd had real balls, Sawyer would've gotten killed under all that fire... that was a joke, lol. Not that I want those people to die... but let's be honest... Ben's daughter, who was never that important (other than the way she was used in this episode as a pawn against Ben) wasn't much of a casualty... you could see that coming. And the other three "dominoes" mowed down in front of Sawyer... who the heck were they anyway, LOL? I really expected to see someone important go down in all that.

Considering what we know about Aaron off the Island... Claire dying would've been understandable... but I'm glad she didn't because there's still her connection to Jack to "discover"

But the smoke monster bit... holy crap. That was cool as hell.

Almost always when the ad is "I have a gun at your head" the writers usually backout with deus ex machina showing up to crap on the gunman. The fact they actually blasted the minor is pretty shiny. Plus Ben now doesn't come off as a total freak.

Artwork and specs for Lost season 4 DVD!

[DblDwn]

Ben told Sawyer that they didn't kill him so that he would be motivated to turn Ben over to them. So it could be that they were missing on purpose and just trying to scare him. Presumably they are all ex-military militia so they are better shots than that display showed............unless they were missing for a reason.

So what's up with Ben telling Sayid that he sailed the Elizabeth to Fiji but he ended up in the middle of the Sahara with a gash on his arm? I'm guessing the sailing to Fiji story was a lie which, what, leaves us to believe that he was somehow beamed or teleported off of the island and that was how he arrived on his back in the middle of the desert on the other side of the world?

[Blizzard]

Yes, the time travel was somewhat obvious. I don't like it. Now anything and everything on the show can just be explained with science fiction.

I watched this episode twice and and still think it was a waste of an episode.

I want Heroes back!!

[Lord Tesla]

Yes, the time travel was somewhat obvious.

Time travel? There was time travel in that episode? I didn't notice any...

I don't like it. Now anything and everything on the show can just be explained with science fiction.

Well, we've known since Faradork's little missile shot that there's a heckuva temporal anomaly out there to sea...that wasn't "science fiction"? Isn't the whole thing kinda...science fictional? And if SF is done right, then the explanations are plausible and at least internally self-consistent--I'd like to have that be the case, in the end, myself.

I watched this episode twice and and still think it was a waste of an episode.

I'm planning to watch it again, as early as tonight, if possible. I thought it was rather interesting, myself.

[Blizzard]

Time travel? There was time travel in that episode? I didn't notice any...So you didn't hear Ben ask the receptionist what the date and year was?

[Lord Tesla]

Presumably they are all ex-military militia so they are better shots than that display showed............unless they were missing for a reason.

Maybe they had a list? Or two: A hit, and a don't hit, list.

So what's up with Ben telling Sayid that he sailed the Elizabeth to Fiji but he ended up in the middle of the Sahara with a gash on his arm? I'm guessing the sailing to Fiji story was a lie which, what, leaves us to believe that he was somehow beamed or teleported off of the island and that was how he arrived on his back in the middle of the desert on the other side of the world?

It was an apparent teleportation. Obviously, the teleportation trick is not one Ben wants generally known, or even known to his newest henchman. Of course, Sayid hadn't yet been given "Double-O" status yet, maybe he'll learn the secret later...

What I found interesting is that this isn't the first time someone in Dharma livery has turned up that way, mysteriously in the desert: recall the polar bear with the Dharma collar. Also, that Ben was, if I recall correctly, outfitted for cold weather--where was he on the Island where it gets cold? If, in fact, he came directly from the Island to the desert...

[Lord Tesla]

So you didn't hear Ben ask the receptionist what the date and year was?

Yes, I did. I was only half-serious. First, anomalous temporal effects are part of the program, and have been: Faradork and his overdue missile, Faradork and Desmond and their follies in radiation assisted time slips. It's a given. Second, after a journey from the Island, to the desert, and back into more-or-less civilization, by a variety of means, he might need to confirm he had kept track of the days correctly. People do, from time to time, lose track of day and date without time travel being involved. :)

I wish I had heard the exact date involved. It was in 2005, and I thought it was one of the later months, suggesting nearly a year had passed since the incidents currently unfolding in the Island continuity; and I believe Sayid made a reference to a year's passage, as well.

If that's the case, I'm interested in finding out what Ben's been doing for that long, and where he's been. I'm not inclined to think he actually did any time travel in getting from the Island to the Desert. However, moving in space is moving in time, and certain kinds of movement can lead to temporal anomalies: Perhaps he was merely trying to verify that he had moved only in space, not time, at least not anomalously in time.

[DblDwn]

It was October of 2005, that much I know for certain, but I forget the date. The 24th is coming to mind though. So it is a little over a year since the crash.

[kopernikuz]

Yes, the time travel was somewhat obvious. I don't like it. Now anything and everything on the show can just be explained with science fiction.

[Blizzard]

LOL Ripley!

Yay, it's Thursday!!!

[JediJaina]

The hard part about this show is now the flash forwards are becoming a flashback within itself. I enjoyed last week's episode more than this week.

[Blizzard]

I think I liked this week more. But I missed most of the ending so I will have to watch it online tomorrow.

[Ripley]

Spoiler activation!

This episode was alright, but it is probably the weakest one this season. Jack's on island story was pure filler that could have been skipped. Having most of commandos surviving super smokey when regular smokey pwned Eko like a ***** is weak as well. The best part was the flashforward since this outing is very obvious with the "why Jack is a pill popper" point. The few bits with the Locke splinter group was good fun.

The main point is how Something Nice Back Home fails in comparison to The Economist and The Shape of Things to Come, the two best flashforward episodes this season. Both of those episodes push the plot forward in the present and future time frames. Essentially two major thread are woven so far in the future; the survivors in California struggling with their metaphorical post-trumatic stress disorder over the yet to be seen events that results in the Oceanic Six's exodus from Craphole Island. The other thread is the continuation of the war between the Island, personified by Ben, and the outside world, personified by Widmore. Then of course you have Sun off in La La Land. :nahnah: When Economist and Shapes of Things to Come add significantly to their respective island and post-island storylines last night episode adds little to the post-island story and almost nothing to the island storyline. Oh I am calling the Desmond/Sayid showdown.

Also the writers have created an interesting situation for Ben. Until Ben's latest episode all of the flashforward episodes centered on remaining season one characters that have stayed on the show throughout the entire run, and all of the flashback episodes focused on post-season one characters or ones returning (Michael). Ben having a flashforward does make sense from the viewpoint of his importance to the Island. However Ben has a wealth of background material to cover. I sincerly hope the writers have not given up on the past of one of the shows' best two characters.

^Next season. You had me confused there for a sec.
Oops... sorry!

Yeah, it's for next season:wink:

[Morridini]

Just saw the latest episode. Finally an episode I really liked.

Richard, we finally got 100% confirmation thet he don't age, finally. Can't wait tpo see more of him.

My current theory of Lost (changes daily), is that everyone on the island are reincarnations of people from the Black Rock, and Richard is trying to find his old mates, as Lock picked the knife, it showed that Lock was one of Richards enemies...... Yes it makes total sense...

Also, had we seen that black dude who helped Lock at the hospital before?

Jack's father and Claire in the cabin, soo obvious......lie of the century.

Ah yes, and the whole "move the island" explains how Echo's brother ended up on the island.

Oddly enough the better a Lost episode is, the more questions it bring.

[Lord Tesla]

Just saw the latest episode. Finally an episode I really liked.

Richard, we finally got 100% confirmation thet he don't age, finally. Can't wait tpo see more of him.

Doesn't age, or ages only very, very slowly? We don't yet know exactly how old he is.

Morridini wrote: "My current theory of Lost (changes daily), is that everyone on the island are reincarnations of people from the Black Rock, and Richard is trying to find his old mates, as Lock picked the knife, it showed that Lock was one of Richards enemies...... Yes it makes total sense..."

Interesting. But there are two things to remember: 1) He asked what belonged to Locke already (or words to that effect), implying that all might at some point belong to Locke; 2) the high school guidance counselor (or whoever the joker at the school was talking to Locke about science) told him that "Dr. Alpert" at the Mittelos organization was interested in him, an indication that Locke was not an enemy, but a candidate still under consideration. Candidate for what? The job Ben Linus ended up with. Maybe we should start calling him Benny the Bench Warmer?)

Morridini wrote: "Also, had we seen that black dude who helped Lock at the hospital before?"

Roger, that. He was Mathew Abaddon, who later approached Hurley in the Twinky Academy, after the Oceanic Six had returned, claiming to represent the airline. He also appeared to be in charge of organizing the Widmore "rescue" expedition ultimately carried aboard the Kahana.

I really liked this one, too. One thing I thought stood out: Locke seems increasingly (to me) to have been modeled on SF writer Philip K. Dick.

[Morridini]

Doesn't age, or ages only very, very slowly? We don't yet know exactly how old he is.

better way to say it would be "We got confirmation that there is indeed something funky about his age" Nothing had been put in stone before, that long hair in Bens flashback might have been an attempt to look younger they could say. But now we see him in the 50s looking just as now, so it's confirmed that he was in the 50s looking the same as he do now. I fit is time travel, never-aging or whatever, we don't know yet.

[DblDwn]

What was the "correct" answer to Richard's question to Locke? Richard seemed to look satisfied when John first grabbed the vial. Was that sand in there? Sand from the island I imagine. So the vial of sand from the island, symbolizing in this instance the island as a whole, was what already belonged to John. Funny how sometimes asking the question is all it takes to figure it out.

So it's Abbadon who plants the idea for Locke to go to Australia. That puts John on the plane. That's all it took to get John there.

Claire wasn't sitting there when John walked in so she is now in the post-existence realm of puzzlement that Christian is in since she just appeared out of nowhere.

How often does the island "move?" Also, please remind me how that pertains to Eko's brother. Was it because he wasn't supposed to be flying in the South Pacific in the first place yet ended up on a plane there? I forget but that is what stands out to my recollection of that episode.

[Morridini]

Also, please remind me how that pertains to Eko's brother. Was it because he wasn't supposed to be flying in the South Pacific in the first place yet ended up on a plane there? I forget but that is what stands out to my recollection of that episode.

He was flying (dead) in a small airplane, such a small one that probably only can fly a few hundred kilometers at a time, in Africa. Between Africa and the Island we have a small pond called the Atlantic Ocean and a rock called South America, thus the Island moving most likely explained how he ended up there.

[DblDwn]

Not to mention the even larger pond known as the Pacific.

I guess I always assumed that they were flying in small trips, similar to island hopping, while on their trip and they had crashed on the island on that stage of their journey. I was drunk during a couple of the Eko episodes, I still don't even remember the episode where he was killed by the "monster," so my recollection is hazy at best on what was going on with his brother's flight plan.

[Blizzard]

FINALE TONIGHT!!!!

[DblDwn]

Finally watched the last episode yesterday. A few things:

* So money that Sun takes her settlement cash and buys the controlling interest in daddy's company. That was great.

* Where did all the C4 come from? You would think that it would be pretty hard to hide all of those explosives for the duration of the trip up to that point. Where did it come from and who planted it there?

* The more I watch the more it does appear that Jin is really dead when they go back (which would mean that he would have to die in tonight's episode). From the reactions given when Sun was asked if he had died on the island to Sun's emotionally charged rant to her father about 2 people being responsible for his death, plus that character killing DUI that Daniel Dae-Kim got last year, it's not looking good for our favorite ESL graduate.

* I had been wondering if when Jack tells Kate that she isn't even Aaron's blood when they are fighting about Sawyer if Jack said that because, obviously, he knew that she wasn't or if he had said that because he had found out that he was. Question answered. Talk about a mind f**k when he learned that Claire was his sister. No wonder he wants to go back so badly. His father and his sister were both somewhere on that island.

* I don't see them shocking us with character deaths tonight so, other than Jin, I would guess that everyone else is safe. The shock will be in the cliffhanger pertaining to the story and there's not going to want to take away from that by killing off too many long-time characters. Jin will be enough. I say that because my woman is really hoping that Sawyer doesn't die, because he's with Jack going to where the militia is and he's not on the chopper when they leave. But I reminded her that Jack tells Kate during that fight in their home that Sawyer chose to stay, not that he's dead and that's that.

* After the "6" leave then who of the main character does that leave on the island? Locke, Sawyer, Ben (who does leave at some point anyway), Juliet, Rose and Bernard (not main character but surely not just fillers at this point either), Claire (in some form or another), Jin (if he does survive the night but I highly doubt it...........call a cab player) and Michael and Desmond both on the freighter at this point. That's it that I can think of. Everyone else is either dead (Charlie, Boone, Shannon, Eko, Ana Lucia, Libby) or a part of the "6."

It will be interesting to see how they script next season with the majority of the main characters back in the real world in real time without the need for flash-forwards. Although I imagine that tonight's inevitable "damn you Lindelof and Cuse" cliffhanger will shed some degree of light on that anyway.

[P-Ray]

I'm curious to see how they are going to continue for 2 more seasons after they are supposedly "getting rescued" tonight?

[DblDwn]

Only 6 of them are going home tonight. The rest are staying behind with the Others and the militia. There are plenty of places the story could go. The problem is that the main WTF cliffhangers have all taken place mid-season. The first season ended with the hatch blowing open. The second season ended with Jack, Kate and Sawyer captured by the Others. Neither of those had any kind of "HOLY $H!T" moment to leave us discussing all summer. Last season had the closest thing when we came to find out in the final moments that Jack was meeting Kate and that we had been witnessing a flash-forward and not a flashback. That finale last season raised the bar for this show in terms of season enders. I would imagine that, with that in mind, we are in store for the biggest cliffhanger of them all tonight.

[Blizzard]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Okay, Got that out of my system. I am good. I will comment more tomorrow.

I'm curious to see how they are going to continue for 2 more seasons after they are supposedly "getting rescued" tonight?

It took them 4 to get off, it will take them 2 to go back. :superhappy:

[kopernikuz]

Wow. Well done.

Too much to digest right now... too tired. But quick thoughts that come to mind:

1. What was being said on the phone to Kate? I thought I heard them say something about "unlisted number" but the rest of it sounded backwards (likely all of it?), someone will have that online playing backwards tomorrow at the latest, lol.

2. Wow. Just wow.

[STar war spUNK]

i cried. the end.

[Blizzard]

I cried, too. Twice.

[kopernikuz]

The backwards speaking has been translated:

"The island needs you. You have to go back before it's too late".

[Blizzard]

Now everything is going to be about how to get back to the island. And what horrible things have happened to everyone they have left behind and how they can fix it and how can everyone live happily ever after like Desmond and Penny.

And to solve that ever loving question... why is the rum gone? Oh, wait, Juliet drank it all.

We had to wait a year to see who was in the coffin! I will predict right now that we won't find out how and why he is in the coffin until May 2009.

[STar war spUNK]

blah, i figured who was in the coffin last season! i love how nothing on this show isn't just a casual scene. for example, the whole backwards phone conversation (at first i thought it was just noise), and also the commercials. did anyone see the octagon global recruiting commercial???

http://www.octagonglobalrecruiting.com/

that's the site. dharma initiative. lolz! it's like when they used to do those other commercials, and you would call the number. I LOVE THIS SHOW.

[Morridini]

Just saw the finale, a decent one.

Hopefuly
Locke will resurrect when coming back to the Island

But what was up with the crappy effects? A show that has so few effects throughout a season, I would have expected to pull off better effects for the
explosion and helicopter crash

[JackBauer24]

There were two alternate endings for the finale; one with Sawyer in the coffin, the other with Desmond. I think the real ending makes more sense, though.

[kopernikuz]

Well, the other two weren't supposed to make sense from what I can tell... they were just diversionary if the endings leaked beforehand.

[JackBauer24]

True, but it would still be pretty messed up if they HAD used them.

[QuigonWindu]

DES AND PENNY!!!!!

Was I the only one who actually shed a tear?


Also, Sawyer was totally THE MAN when he jumped out of that chopper.

[Morridini]

I loved the fact that Penny got Desmond back.

Also, what a ***** Kate is, here Sawyer sacrifices himself, and she goes on to frack Jack when they get back....

Also, curious about the timeline. The Sun scene, I got the feeling it might be the furthest we have seen into the future, considering her child was able to talk, or well, say "mommy" in Korean.

[DblDwn]

Just got done watching it.

Not shocked that Jin died at all. I got a little teary eyed as well when Desmond and Penny reunited. And I wasn't all that surprised when we saw that it was Locke in the coffin but I was upset since he is one of my favorite characters.

It's pretty obvious that when Ben is down "moving" the island that following that is when he gets time shifted into the middle of the desert when he goes and finds Sayid in Iraq. The Dharma jacket and the cut on the arm are evidence of that.

What is up with Charlotte looking for where she was born? What is up with paranormal pyschic Miles knowing something about that too? I'm trying to remember if there has been anything in the past about a baby born on the island that left that would fit the timeframe for her age but I'm drawing a blank.

So, um, are Faraday and that next group in the raft up $hit creek without a paddle or what? No freighter to get to and no island to go back to. Recipe for vulture soup there.

I was sad to see Michael die. Sure he murdered Ana Lucia and Libby but he did it for his son. Any of us that are parents would do anything for our children so we really can only fault him for that so far. But he died a hero for the most part so he must be commended for that.

And what's up with Christian Shepherd being the "voice" of the island now? Is Jacob on tour or what?

So what terrible things are going to start happening? The militia is dead and it's just the Others, lead by Locke now, and the remaining others (non-capitalized). Who is left that isn't with the Others? Sawyer, Rose (kinda b!tchy about those peanuts a little), Bernard (was he even in the background in the finale), Miles, Charlotte, Juliet and I imagine a few "petty officers" who are being kept around as sacrificial lamb for the writer's when the $hit really hits the fan.

A great finale but it lacked the "OMG" of last season's flash-forward revelation because it grew pretty obvious that Locke was in the coffin. But that doesn't mean it was any less of a great episode, or episodes rather.

[Blizzard]

Hey, I am watching the same show and I know some of you guessed John was in the coffin, but it was not obvious.

DES AND PENNY!!!!!

Was I the only one who actually shed a tear?Dude, we said we did. That was the best ever! :love:

Also, what a ***** Kate is, here Sawyer sacrifices himself, and she goes on to frack Jack when they get back....Sawyer knew she wanted Jack when Kate dissed him in the jungle. Kate has never known what she wants, she only takes what she can get. I think we'll find out that Sawyer told her to be happy with Jack when he whispered in her ear before jumping.

Also, curious about the timeline. The Sun scene, I got the feeling it might be the furthest we have seen into the future, considering her child was able to talk, or well, say "mommy" in Korean.And they did say it was three years in the future. Aaron and Ji Yeon would be talking up a storm.

So, um, are Faraday and that next group in the raft up creek without a paddle or what? No freighter to get to and no island to go back to. Recipe for vulture soup there. Quite. Now that sucked.

And what's up with Christian Shepherd being the "voice" of the island now? Is Jacob on tour or what? LMAO! And I thought the island wouldn't let Michael die? He clearly blew up before the island left town.

Rose (kinda b!tchy about those peanuts a little)I would have been quite *****y, too, if I was going to be spending the rest of my life there and that was my only snack food. :laughing:

[kopernikuz]

It wouldn't let him die until he was "done" doing what it needed him to do. Apparently, the Island was through with him.

[DblDwn]

I think we'll find out that Sawyer told her to be happy with Jack when he whispered in her ear before jumping.

I'm sticking to my original thought from when Jack confronted her about it in their kitchen............Sawyer asked Kate to look in on his daughter for him.

LMAO! And I thought the island wouldn't let Michael die? He clearly blew up before the island left town.

Christian did say, "Michael, you can go now," meaning time to die.

i found this in reference to what sawyer says

Thought so

[Blizzard]

Aha.

[DblDwn]

Aha.

I love that song "Take On Me." The video was so ahead of its time. :nahnah:

[DblDwn]

When Locke came to speak with the Oceanic 6 to tell them they needed to go back he used the false name, after all John Locke died on Oceanic 815, but something bothers me. Now of course I don't buy for a single nano-second that Locke committed suicide as the newspaper article suggested but, since that's the story being given, people commit suicide every day and it doesn't make the news or even get mentioned in passing by anyone other than those close to the individual. Why was Locke's "suicide" different? Why was this man's taking of his own life something that was deemed news worthy by the print media? Much more going on there.

The other question that comes up is did Locke just visit the mainland as Tom had when he went to NYC to recruit Michael or did Locke get "banished" from the island, ala Ben, because he moved it? Did he move it back to where it was so that the Oceanic 6 would know where to find it?

I was under the impression it was an obituary. Probably placed their by Ben, who also organized the wake. I don't think an obit would be out of the question, I see mine in my local paper.

[DblDwn]

It didn't look like an Obit to me but let's pretend it is for a moment. Obit's are usually reserved for people who belong to the community and, even then, not everyone who dies is placed in them. Maybe Ben had it added. Maybe he didn't. But Locke would most likely not be a member of the community so why would he have had an Obit in the paper if that's what it was?

The Obit placed by Ben thing doesn't really sit with me though. If he were to do it then he would most likely have done it in order to draw everyone back together. But that's not necessary. It seems to me that Ben can find anyone anytime that he wants to. He doesn't need to instigate the reporting of Locke's "suicide," the death of someone he knows that wasn't popular with the Oceanic 6, in order to bring them together.

With Lost this conclusion just seems too simple (no offense). Now where I would begin to buy into it more would be if Ben is the one who killed Locke and then leaked the Obit of his "suicide." Leaking the death to the paper doesn't work but actually killing him in order to do so fits in more with the complexities of the show.

[kopernikuz]

It wasn't an obit... it was a filler article on a mysterious death. Ruled a suicide, but mysterious because the doorman was responding to some sort of "noises" coming from the room... plus we don't see the whole article. It was mildly newsworthy, but not an obituary.

[Blizzard]

I am soooo ready for Lost to return! I won't peek at any peeks though. :)

[DblDwn]

I'm the same way. I didn't watch the clip above for that very reason. I'm already chomping at the bit for 24 after watching Redemption so I don't need to get any more over anxious for another show too.

[JackBauer24]

Usually I'm all over spoiler clips, but I just can't bring myself to watch any of the LOST clips that are being released. I'd rather wait to enjoy it when it airs in January.

That's how I have been as well!

[kopernikuz]

Not me... spoil away! LOL :P

Both clips so far are very interesting indeed... don't reveal much of course, but are nice teases...

You could almost say that about the entire show, ha ha.

[kopernikuz]

Quite true, lol... but that is about to change I think ;)

Rewatched season four on DVD. Simply amazing.
