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

And why the hell didn't Jacob pick Richard as the leader?

Of course I mean "primitive mystical shit" that involves speaking Latin and dividing the world into good & bad people.

I also wanna know why Richard Alpert appears to be american while all the other Others are english.

btw that other who was pointing the gun at faraday was WS09 material. so hot.

god bless the hot Others.

so this makes Widmore roughly twenty plus years older than Ben who was born in the early 60s. You'd have to wonder when their rivalry began - Ben didn't show up on the island until he was about 11 or 12, and didn't take over as Other leader until the purge in 1992.

otm, I loved her.

Yeah, Ellie has to be Miss Hawking/Farday's mom--though I wonder why she didn't just tell him not to go to the island? Maybe she did & he didn't listen or she let him go because it would muck up the timestream to stop him.

I didn't see previews for next week, but the cast list is whoa!

i was waiting for someone to mention that

coma chick is the girl in the picture in daniel's lab. he fucked up so he's trying to save charlotte because she is coma chick's constant maybe?

this was a great episode I thought, btw

Oh, and at this point do we need all the bait-and-switch scenes like when Ellie tells Daniel "You couldn't stay away, could you?" making it seem as though he was once a part of her crew?

Thought the latin was pretty stupid. Especially "Ricardus Alpertus". It's LATIN for Richard Alpert...

Whereas Spanish would be Ricardo Alpertez

yeah that was LOL

ricardo alperta in the italian

Ichard-Ray Pert-Alay in the Pig Latin.

Richar' Alpeuuuuh in French

Ricky Apples in Little Italy.

reekard allpurt in the german

could be nothing, could be EVERYTHING, this woman was in last night's episode (uni library) and is also the woman who told Hurley it was his lucky day/she got him onto flight 815:

someone post a pic of hottie other plz.

ok that is definitely something
they would NOT go all l&o repeat offenders style with something where every detail is so important, would they?

Also wondering about Ellie's throwaway "you couldn't stay away?" line that Charlotte and Miles didn't bother to comment on..

here you go cutster:

Benjaminus Linusus....foreign languages are easy!

That other's accent was weird. more bad British accents in last night's episode than ever before...when Desmond visited that woman whose sister Faraday had messed up she was like straight out of some American version of Dickens.

Also that reminds me, wtf was up with Desmond's bizarre scarf plus sunglasses leisure combo?

mmmm-hmm:

i lolllllllled at that! he was tryin to be suave like sayid but it was not working.

yeah he looked like a low level businessman on holidays who bought the sunglasses in duty free

"time to unwind...I'm on the mainland now. on a little island called GREAT BRITAIN, it may not have bears and time travel but they make a damn good cup of tea"

btw i was wondering last week - is la so humid that sayid's blowout would have gotten ruined from lying on hurley's couch/being transported to the hospital? he started the ep w/ perfectly styled locks and ended up with poodly mess.

damned republican guard shampoo

i lolllllllled at that! he was tryin to be suave like sayid but it was not working.

I was starting to think I was weird for thinking that was so funny.

I noticed his hair too! Poor guy spent all that time on the island without his straight iron and still can't get no peace.

I kind of loved Desmond's uber-purple outfit!

i wish i was better at picking up important plot details/twists than noticing who needs to go on what not to wear.

show of hands: who's upset widmore wasn't actually a pirate?

the other thing I was thinking last night. isn't it handy that Oxford University is just basically a cloister walk and a library? apparently the design was based on a Scottish wine making monastery

x-post I wanted Widmore to be 500 year old son of Alvar Hanso or something yeah

alpert is the pirate

with that eyeliner, there's no way he couldn't be! i want johnny depp to make a cameo as his twin bro.

i think i read that it wasn't eyeliner

i wanted them BOTH to be pirates, though. still struggling to son each other in ages old pirate beef.

yeah i know, i just prefer to think of him as eyeliner dude still
xpost

i bet alperts older than the pirates--hence the latin

my guess is that alpert has been there since at least the foot

alpert prob has four toes

torn between 'can't wait for inevitable locke goes completely batshit' and 'get a new shtick already, dude.'

if alpert gave locke the compass, then locke gave alpert the compass, where did the compass actually come from?

erm...look over there....quick!

Remember when Kate walked out of the hatch and saw the Black Horse? What she really saw was Sawyer, only seeing Sawyer would create a Paradox, so either the Island or her own mind replaced it with something else she has loved in her past, the Black Horse.

Whoa. Is no one else commenting on this because it was already obvious, or because it's implausible? To me, it's the best explanation so far of the weird shit that people have been seeing on the island.

locke didnt give alpert any compasses

Let me say again that I LOVE the direction this season is going in so far.

lol i didnt comment on it because it sounds like the dumbest idea ive ever heard zach but hey to each his own
