But we already know all about Charlie's childhood, with jackass butcher father & piano-buying mom.

We've already seen a young Charlie Pace (age 8 per Lostpedia) on Christmas morning:http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/lostpedia/images/6/61/JeremyShada.jpg
Show would have to explain how the Pace family adopted him from Desmond and Penny in the early 80s.

yeah, wtf @ Egyptian hieroglyphs? If Lost turns out to have anything to do with extraterrestrials, I will be angered beyond reason and prompted to wanton violence. Srsly, I would have a Twin Peaks-style total wtf series of unanswerable cliffhangers than some Stargate bullshit.

pretty sure it was the egyptians who wrote in hieroglyphs, not aliens
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 10 April 2009 16:48 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm referring to the long-established relationship b/w aliens & egyptians, as extensively documented by science-fiction.

Are aliens really so much more unpalatable than say Jesus? (Mr. Eko & Charlie's Catholic ghostings, Locke's Christ-makeover)
was much more disappointed that Desmond didn't action-hero growl "see you in another lifetime, brother" at Ben before he threw him in the water.

Not that I'm actually afraid they'll do that, but given Lost's sci-fi leanings, the hieroglyphs did give me pause.

Somewhere in the Temple is a donkey wheel that activates the Stargate.

I get that a Lost/Stargate crossover would be barftastic, but there aren't a whole lot of options on the table. It's either aliens or jesus or jesus-aliens or coma-fantasy. What else could they reasonably do?
Wasn't Twin Peaks resolved as demonic anyway (and therefore in the jesus-realm)?
― Philip Nunez, Friday, 10 April 2009 17:57 (fifteen years ago) link
there were UFOs in twin peaks
― cutty, Friday, 10 April 2009 18:06 (fifteen years ago) link
xpost: Well, the Agent Cooper/Black Lodge thing could be construed as demonic, but Lynch unraveled all the more soap-operatic elements of the show to absurd lengths and then just left them hanging. There has bee some debate as to whether he did that with the intention of picking the show back up in some other context, or if it was a big "fuck you" to the network for forcing him to resolve the murder mystery and then moving the show to Saturday nights.
As for Lost, I'd be happy if they just stuck with the quantum mechanics/wormholes/electro-magnetism/time-travel, basic dualism, fatalism vs. free will etc. I mean, sure, these themes are time-worn to the point of cliche as well, but the show has done a great job with them thusfar IMO, and any further, significant cosmic extrapolation would be unnecessary, especially if it had to do with alien-egyptology, but maybe that is just a matter of personal taste.

there were UFOs in twin peaks - yeah, there was the whole Major Briggs/Project Bluebook thing, but that was pretty quickly dropped, if I am recall correctly.
― Imaginary Dead Baseball Players Live in My Cornfield (Pillbox), Friday, 10 April 2009 18:09 (fifteen years ago) link
there hasn't been any inkling of UFOs in lost. this show is about egyptian pirates.
― cutty, Friday, 10 April 2009 18:13 (fifteen years ago) link
we'll see..
― Imaginary Dead Baseball Players Live in My Cornfield (Pillbox), Friday, 10 April 2009 18:15 (fifteen years ago) link
well now that you said it, the writer's will see this thread and put UFO's in the show

ffs Ben tho "well, we don't even have a word for it..."
really. so you've just been referring to it as 'it' all this time. ok.
Some people on lostpedia think he calls it "Ammit", which would make sense, but he kind of stutters on the line and it isn't clear.
― abanana, Friday, 10 April 2009 22:04 (fifteen years ago) link
I think he said Amirite?

3.2 million dollars!

The podcast mentioned that that figure will be explained in this season, presumably in hoth.
I originally thought it was a coded message regarding coordinates, but now i'm guessing he just had a really huge student loan.
― abanana, Saturday, 11 April 2009 02:29 (fifteen years ago) link
I already kinda love Miles, but I'm definitely awaiting/hoping to see how his ghost talking is going to be some kind of side effect from radiation/time travel.
― Nhex, Saturday, 11 April 2009 02:31 (fifteen years ago) link
I really want the next episode to move the plot forward rather than fill in gaps from the past but I will do a complete U-Turn on this stance if it involves Miles talking to dead pirates.

The game of Risk we saw set up in the barracks indicates that we’re not dealing with an alternate timeline version of 2007. Back in 2004 (pre time jumping by our Losties) when the Losties were living in the barracks (before Keamy’s team invaded), Sawyer and Hurley were playing that same Risk game and it appears to be set up the same way (see 4×09 The Shape of Things to Come) in 2007. This leads me to believe that the version of 2007 we’re seeing is an extension of the version of 2004 we saw before all the time jumping occurred.

what about the theory that the current version of locke (post-death, post-2nd-plane-crash) is a smoke monster apparition à la ben's kid and christian shepard?
― s1ocki, Saturday, 11 April 2009 16:35 (fifteen years ago) link
Thoth supposedly wrote the Book of the Dead--so it would be Miles appropriate.

xp nah
