"I Hope You're Happy Now, Jacob"--The LOST Season 5 Thread

i am going to start throwing hot pockets @ ppl when they piss me off now.

also: LIBBY SAYS HI

Neil Frogurt was played by the guy from the Aaron Burr "Got Milk?" ad.

I know I'm in the minority but I really missed Ana Lucia! And I love how they brought back Frogurt as such an asshole you knew he was going to be brutally killed sometime - and that did not disappoint. Sayid ass-kicking was fabulous as usual. Really entertaining eps tonight!

frogurt is also the free dude in "people under the stairs". newt?

Washing knives in a dishwasher -- tsk.

Great episode(s).

I <3 shih tzus

I downloaded and watched 30 minutes of this before I realized I only had the second half! Fuck! I was like "Man, this is hard to follow, even for lost" And the first half is still nowhere to be found.

The moment Frogurt spoke I said to my roommate "this guy is going to die horribly" haha.

At least 2 people in the room simultaneously "WHAT the FUUUUUCK!??!"ed at TimeCop lady (Fionnula Flannegan)'s island marker pendulum lair or whatever it was.

Daniel Dae Kim still mysteriously in cast list!

Maybe his corpse landed within the radius.

That was a very strange and satisfying episode.

God I wish they could ditch the one character flashback/foreward format and do every episode in his awesome bonkers jump to everyone all episode long format all season.

this was great as a "oh yeah, we're not fucking around" opener.

Ha I totally called it that 'Neil' was gonna die.

am i imagining things or was he literally wearing a red shirt when he first appeared this ep?

Dr. Candle's baby (obviously Miles, amirite?) made the Prince/Aaliyah baby sound! It's like the Wilhelm scream of baby sfx I guess.

why obvs miles? just because he is ASIAN?

I didn't think it was Miles, but just thought, "oh, they have a newborn" (ie. either they brought the kid from off island, or the infertility thing hasn't started yet at that point)

I wonder who will turn out to be Charlotte's constant (Ben?)

the whole bit about Desmond being uniquely special / you can break the rules of time / Daniel appears in his dream was fuckin great

But it wasn't a dream it was a MEMORY!

Dr Candle's newborn implies that at some point babies COULD be born on the island.

For a second I thought they were really going to cut off Juliet's hand!

(ie. either they brought the kid from off island, or the infertility thing hasn't started yet at that point)

Yeah, I think this is what we're meant to take away -- I don't think the kid has to grow up to be anyone we know.

They obviously blasted the 'wheel room' at some point, probably all the baby problems start then.

I wonder who will turn out to be Charlotte's constant (Ben?)

i'm kinda thinking she doesn't have one.

when frogurt died i said to my roommate, 'eh, he was annoying anyway.'

didn't somebody theorize that dr. candle was miles' father at some point last season? because that was in my head so when i saw him + baby i was like 'oooh' and maybe that is why miles has special powers - because he was born/lived on the island.

"God I wish they could ditch the one character flashback/foreward format and do every episode in his awesome bonkers jump to everyone all episode long format all season."

I read that this is how it is going to be for the rest of the show.

also, wtf at crazy church chalk pendulum

seems like some sort of foucault's pendulum which is letting them know where/when an "event window" will open so they can re-enter the island.

i assume the entire season will consist of trying to convince hurley, sun, and kate to go back to the island.

why would sayid say never trust ben, if it seems he is still working for him?

i never got the impression he was working for him because he LIKED him, just because he had something on him.

i assumed it was cause ben had him convinced he was doing the right thing ie protecting his friends getting revenge on baddies etc

yes but he's not following his credo to hurley of "whatever benjamin linus says, do the opposite"

ha yah he went back on that pretty fast

Hugo recapping 4 seasons of LOST to his mom was lol.

lol yess

so this season= PrisonBreak?

Alan Dale can do an American accent pretty well, but Widmore last night kept slipping into Dale's native Australian.

Mixed feelings about this, but I remember feeling the same way after the openers in other seasons too.

It was great in parts but can't help they're digging a big hole of boring non island stuff to fill half the series, eg the effort to get Kate/Hurley/Sun to agree to go back. I found myself waiting for the parts back on the island mostly as the other bits are a bit too real world.

Also I have to say Sun's "I want revenge" thing and Sun in general now seems utterly boring. Kill her off asap. I don't want to watch high powered meetings between her and Widmore.

I mean did anyone else just groan when Hurley ran to the police as it's hard to imagine the storyline of him inevitably being broken out of jail/wherever being in any way interesting? Surely it's clear as day they're all going to go back one way or another.

I assume Sawyer/Juliette love interest is on the cards v soon.

also Ana Lucia appearing was so fucking obvious and then "libby says hi" made me cringe!

but yeah I'm not utterly hating, I have faith, the openers are never as big as the finales I guess, takes a while to reset the scene and get the plots developing and intertwining again.

aw libby says hi was great

think I just hate Ana Lucia, haha

tugging max's heartstrings is easy

time travel pedantry--

• if when they move thru time they cant get to their camp anymore, why do their clothes come with them. also why does the zodiac. and the bullet in lockes thigh.

• when faraday talks to desmond why does desmond not remember until 3 years later. it would make more sense if he remembered on pennys boat.

• when desmond sees faraday why doesnt he remember him. from the army or whatever. and then remember him later.

i <3 ana lucia was psyched to hav her back

ana lucia is about a thousand times better than kate and jack and juliet frankly

• if when they move thru time they cant get to their camp anymore, why do their clothes come with them. also why does the zodiac. and the bullet in lockes thigh.

corny

wouldve been lol if they were all naked tho

when desmond sees faraday why doesnt he remember him.

this is the most important point I think. he had really met Daniel (at a REALLY IMPORTANT time in his life in the past) but they treated it like he was meeting him for the first time.

maybe that was desmond traveling back in time

i think thats all going to be waved away with some kind of "desmond is weird" which is fine by me i guess

lol at the end of the recap episode when the producers were all we are glad were entering a phase where we start to answer questions instead of ask them

yes but he's not following his credo to hurley of "whatever benjamin linus says, do the opposite"

I kinda thought Sayid first hated Ben, then worked for him, then at some point (that we haven't seen yet) broke with him and started hating him again

who is Ben's crew at the meat market? we're not supposed to know any of them right
