alpert is not affected (meaning he is not transported during the time shifts.) he told locke next time he saw him, he (alpert) wouldn't know who he was.
― cutty, Thursday, 22 January 2009 17:47 (fifteen years ago) link
he wanted to see something manmade just to gauge what time they were in I thought. not that it helped much
So what's the deal with Alpert then? He isn't affected by the island moving?
seemed like none of the Others were affected, in that group only Locke jumped in time

Alpert's an original inhabitant (like Ethan, Dharma dudes etc.) Seems like the time-jumps only affect Oceanic castaways and freighter ppl. xposts

crazy xposting sorry.
If the island is dislodged from time, why would it disappear?

could be the others that were around when the island went http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:4bVK-5JPpTGdMM:http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h212/mkalfus/How%2520to%2520Find%2520the%2520Island/IslandDisappears2.jpg are unstuck in time too and locke et al are just running into the past versions of them
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 22 January 2009 17:52 (fifteen years ago) link
desmond is dislodged from time. the island is dislodged from space. the castaways are dislodged from time and space.
― Disco/Very (Roz), Thursday, 22 January 2009 17:54 (fifteen years ago) link
in 2007 the island exists, it's just not where it was (near indonesia or wherever) anymore.
― Disco/Very (Roz), Thursday, 22 January 2009 17:56 (fifteen years ago) link
this makes it seem like the island is moving in space (jumping all around the ocean), not just time

relative to the island the castaways arent dislodged in space tho - theyre just riding it around
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 22 January 2009 17:58 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah they're moving with the island, but also with time.
― Disco/Very (Roz), Thursday, 22 January 2009 17:58 (fifteen years ago) link
surely if locke went into the future alpert would know who he was? or why wouldn't he? (unless there's some reason for this that alpert just hasn't explained yet)

wonder where vincent is and if he's time-travelling too. That would be one confused dog.

as far as i'm concerned, bernard, rose, and vincent can fucking die

Vincent was on the beach in the scene where Frogurt bites it.
― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Thursday, 22 January 2009 19:04 (fifteen years ago) link
actually for a second, i thought that the dog that really looked like vincent on the first t-shirt hurley looked at (not the i <3 shih-tzu one) was about to start talking to him.
― Disco/Very (Roz), Thursday, 22 January 2009 19:08 (fifteen years ago) link
funny he found a size XXXXXXXXXL shirt in a gas station

where else would you buy a shirt that big

Yeah, the Rose/Bernard stuff from last night is pissing me off. They're changing the way the characters have been written up to this point.
― WmC, Thursday, 22 January 2009 19:15 (fifteen years ago) link
The shirt INSIDE the gas station was not at all the same shirt as OUTSIDE the gas station.

I thought Hurley telling his mother about the island was way over-written too. Okay Hurley is a bit dumb but he's not a 3 year old child, he's not going to be telling an obviously hard to believe story and be all "andthentherewasasmokemonster and then and then and then we pushed a button to save the world" etc etc...

i thought that scene was more of the writers being meta like "yes we do know that when you put it all together this series is completely batshit insane".
― Disco/Very (Roz), Thursday, 22 January 2009 19:32 (fifteen years ago) link
^agreed, it was obviously overlabored for that metajoke factor. But at the same time, I was honestly touched by it, Garcia's performance was one of his best in the series. The character clearly cares so much about his mother, and he knows he's going to tell this story that's totally illogical and impossible when everyone already thinks he's totally crazy - Hurley's giving up this last piece of dignity in a way.
― Nhex, Thursday, 22 January 2009 19:36 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah there was definitely an element of meta to that Hurley scene, but I didn't like it. I think sometimes the episodes are flailing all over the place tempowise (esp at this stage of the seasons) and they never know how much of who and what and when to use but I still enjoy Lost a great deal, it's v ambitious to do what they do which I guess explains these failings.

Also, how awesome was Sawyer slapping Faraday, then telling Charlotte, "Quiet, Ginger, or you're getting one too!" It's like he stepped right out of a Bogart movie for a second.
