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

cap i dont actually know thts what gonna happen i just think probably it will

why would it land on canada? we're so nice! :(

I think Adam and Eve are going to be Rose and Bernard, personally.

Nikki & Paolo, obv.

Des & Pen have nowhere else to go either.. well, except Oxford.

Hmm. If Faraday's mom is in Oxford and Ben was in LA with Jack and Locke's body, we can assume Ben *probably* didn't find the time to fly to Oxford to talk to the oracle, but that instead she was in LA as well? Though with Ben you can't assume anything..

Perfectly plausible that Crazy Time Lady is Daniel's mother. Remember Des has already met her once before, in London, and that she played a pretty big role in guiding him to the island. I'd say it's more likely that she can be in two places at once, or in some way get between them very quickly. In any case, Daniel probably doesn't know for sure that she'll be in Oxford when Desmond arrives.

The thing we're forgetting is that Faraday had been living in the year 2005 just before the time jumping began--so when he meets Hatch Desmond & tells him to go to Oxford, that might be where the Time Lady was in 2005. The scene between Ben and the Time Lady in CA is presumably happening in 2007. So Time Lady could be Faraday's mom.

I don't know what year it is that Des wakes up with the new memory--but he and Penny are still living on that boat, so maybe it's still 2005.

i'm willing to wager it's not his mom. enough.

I think she said something about him being off the island for three years, but I like the way you and Matt think

cut down by cutty

Can I shamelessly pimp something I've been working on for work? (Contains: double ep. recap, Iain Lee, etc...):

The Lost Initiative Web Show, Episode 1

Cool show, what did you do on it?

uh

holy SHIT!!!

zomg

kinda jealous but would also be disappointed that he's not just like Ben

is it likely that Locke (or anyone) could run into THEMSELVES on the island? i'm thinking kinda cliched scenes where they have to avoid being seen by their previous self but save them somehow - probably best not to start doing that but when they're shifting back in time it's so inviting

!!! super jealous of gr8080 right now

xpost Maybe they're the whispers in the trees.

also would like to see how Richard finds out the O6 did make it back home (as he revealed to Locke). presumably he jumps fwd in time and off the island? more like Desmond than Ben presumably.

i just can't get enough of Ben's face there - truly an acting masterclass

You know, one of the things that really bothers me about this show is how there will be extended periods of time when nothing spooky happens. This is an island with a giant smoke monster, weird voices, ghosts, a terrifying specter that lives in a creepy shack, etc., etc., and yet everyone on the island seems totally cool with it now. Juliet, who to my knowledge had never lived on the island until the end of Season 3, doesn't seem to be experiencing any weirdness. Smokey and the crazy alarm sounds haven't been used in awhile, even though the castaways are in the past, back when it might have still been normal for them to be used (or polar bears or etc.). Yet it seems like they're just traipsing around the island without any worries apart from the other people on the island, despite having no weapons or tools to speak of.

Juliet, who to my knowledge had never lived on the island until the end of Season 3, doesn't seem to be experiencing any weirdness.

Juliet has been on the island much longer than the Oceanic passengers!

I thought she lived on the island next to the island.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliet_Burke

no, the others' village was on the main island, the research facilities were on the second island

Right, so how come the Others don't hear voices, is my main question.

Is that a phenomenon created by the Others?

Juliet showed a lot of fear the night she and Kate were handcuffed together & faced Smokey (but some may have been acting since we later learn she handcuffed herself to Kate)

What about the scene where Juliet runs into the therapist lady - Goodwin's wife in the jungle? There were whispers in that scene, did she react to them? Anyone remember?

I think "how come the Others don't hear voices" is one of the reasons we are watching the show - the others give almost nothing away about themselves which makes us want to know! ;)

The voices pertain to Smokey, which to the best of my recollection the Others have no control over (except Ben, who can sort of summon him).

I'm looking at this map:

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/lostpedia/images/6/6e/Islandmap2gs3.jpg

Thinking about early in the show when someone found the cable (Sayid, I think?), which was eventually used to find the underwater station, correct? But wouldn't anyone walking on that beach have noticed the Hydra station? Later when Sawyer, Jack and Kate are imprisoned, Kate (?) seems pretty surprised to discover she's on another island.

Something weird about that map--the station they found by following the cable was the Looking Glass, right?

A lot of the maps seem to have a good deal of guesswork:

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Fan_maps

Where did that crater come up in the show? That must be significant rite?

They mentioned a volcano in Ben's childhood flashback.

Where have the rivers on the north end of the Island ever been mentioned? They're on almost all of the maps.

Michael Emerson to me: "you're going to learn things about ben's past this season that will make your hair stand on end"

these maps are based on Rousseau's original drawings right? that's probably where the rivers and crater are from. this one seems like the most accurate to me: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Image:TheLostMap_version_P.png

xpost whoa

Hmm, that one has the cable in a totally different place.

it seems about right though, just thinking back through the episodes and how much time they took to walk from one place to another, and where the other places are relative to the beach - the cable is definitely much nearer to, and the Hydra island further from, the castaways' camp than what the first map shows.

(btw, i don't really think it's that useful to think about this too much because like you said, a lot of these maps seem to rely on guesswork mostly).

The announcer for the Mets and Knicks has a vlog about Lost:

Does anyone else here listen to LOST podcasts? Most of them are pure lameness but the Dharma Dummies is pretty thoughtful & well produced. They specialize in multi-part character analysis episodes.

hai ilx

these espisodes were cracking, were they not?
I am very much excited about the rest of the season.

bai ilx

woahhhhhh

omg omg omg

omg

Ferreal!

This ep kinda heavy handed imo

faraday love stuff is c-o-r-n-y buttttt WIDMORE

I guess they're doing the is-he-evil-or-not again with Faraday but at least he's a better character than Juliet. I still love how he lets the truth out at odd moments.

Loving the whole Locke/Alpert interaction cycle!
