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

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.

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.

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.

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...

hurley is crazy tho

hurley is lol fat tho

throwin hot pockets

hot pocket shouldve hit ben tho

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".

^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.

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.

8. ugh at blatant setting up of Juliet/Sawyer shipping. Jawyer?

Su-su-Suliet!

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.

ARGH the first 2 episodes do not air in Latin America until March 7th.

see you all then...

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.

Dude you think that all the female characters are boring and should be killed off! Except Juliet, who is like the most boring of all of them. TBH high-powered business-bitch Sun is pretty much the first time she's been interesting in five seasons - I bet she knows all sorts of hidden secret shit now, and we kind of need a Widmore ally to keep the plot moving.

I thought the first episode of this was like OMG WAU! and the second was just pretty good. I like the new format, I can't really see what good flashbacks would do from now on except for freighter dudes and maybe Ben. I liked Daniel's de facto leader status as the only guy who know's what's going on, but the time-jumping could get annoying after a while.

The link between him and Desmond is way cool. Presumably Hatch Desmond didn't recognise Daniel for the same reason Later Island Desmond didn't recognise Daniel despite seeing him at Oxford - weird Constant relationship and all that.

Who were the British guys who amushed Sawyer and Juliet at some point? Dharma dudes?

I love how Richard has picked up Ben's mantle of being comedy condescending to Locke. "What's the compass for?" - "It points North, John."

And most importantly - would smash Ana-Lucia.

Presumably Hatch Desmond didn't recognise Daniel for the same reason Later Island Desmond didn't recognise Daniel despite seeing him at Oxford - weird Constant relationship and all that.

ha ha did i not just say this is going to get waved off as "desmond is weird"

British dudes are probably a Widmore faction from the past, pre-Dharma... I don't think they looked like any of the previous Dharma suits.

Sun being very devious and revenge-motivated is a good development.

And most importantly - would smash Ana-Lucia.

Yessir

sun looked good in the last episode

I love the fact that none of the people off the island have any idea what is up with the people on the island, and none of the people on the island know the six are alive.

I do think it's weird that Sawyer thinks the helicopter went down along with the freighter ... I'd think that he and others would have been able to see it flying away?

i lold when ben asked if jack had inquired to locke regarding the fate of the island and the people on it - of course he didnt u silly man dont u know the island chooses its inhabitants based on their proclivity for not asking really obvious questions

Lostpedia suggests that memory loss among time travelers (such as Desmond and Faraday) could be a course-correction so that their knowledge of the future doesn't prohibitively affect the present.

Dude you think that all the female characters are boring and should be killed off!

well yeah, note to lost, get some good female characters. kate has her moments but to be fair they have practically written all the female characters into these boring roles. kate running around with a kid, sun as completely unconvincing power business woman who actually just is pining for dead husband, juliet just hangin out kissin losties.

the stories/events just don't challenge the male characters in the slightest, eg there is not a single female character involved in the mythology of the island/the others/etc etc.

Except Sun, who appears to have ended up slap bang in the middle of it. The whole mythology of the island seems to be tied up in whatever Ben and Widmore are fighting over. And Claire, probably.

And Penny.

Haha and Charlotte, but yeah whatever.

It's not the same as Ben/Richard/Locke/Hurley/Desmond/Faraday etc etc etc. Men get the magic island powers and women chase their babies/men around the place.

I'm not indicting it from a feminist point of view, I'm a guy, what do I know, it's just quite boring. Why isn't there a woman involved in the actual mythology of the island, DIRECTLY? Why aren't there female characters you want to ask questions about?

Claire is the only one, and she's v v v much in the background.

x-post and Charlotte what?

and Charlotte was born there or whatever, has been there before ... we haven't found out yet

"after you spent all this time trying to get back here"

Charlotte is still very underexposed tho. I assume they're expanding the Charlotte plotline but she's the only one who even has the potential to have a direct role in the whole "the island" element of things. Or the only one who is even vaguely interested in the power/nature of the island.

Like seriously...why do none of the female characters give a damn about the island and all the stuff practically every male character in the show is going bananas about?

Well now there's Ms Hawking, and if she's really Farraday's mom then she's going to play a bigger part

(I know she's only ever had like 5 mins of screentime though)

yeah here's hoping...I just think they've sold short a lot someone like Kate in particular, who used to have good flashbacks and then weird island stuff used to happen to her. at what point did she just become one dimensional action woman with zero personality? and sun, what is her character now? who is she? it's just v unconvincing.
