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

yeah exactly, I like his whole "it doesn't fucking matter, stop doing stuff" thing he's going on. I'm hoping they push him further this way.

"what's the point of mopping the floor? it's just going to get dirty again"

Apart from the first couple, Jack tends to figure heavily in the plot at the start and end of each season and disappear for ages in the middle of it. But he's not been in this one THAT much. He's getting more interesting now he's become this faux-hippy "I was sent here for a purpose" figure but mostly because I want to know what the deal is with his dad and Claire and the cabin.

I mean really Sawyer's had more screen time than any of the other characters by a mile but that's cool with me because he's one of the best and he didn't even get a flashback in last season.

with everything re-edited in CHRONOLOGICAL order

I thought I was the only one thinking about this.

whatever

the island demands it

kate's had two centric episodes this year which is one too many imo

YES

They're holding the Juliet episode over til pretty late in the season so perhaps we'll get a big Others reveal or something. Or she'll get killed.

this season has been doooooope best yet

I have a bad feeling she's going to get killed, just to set up the boring Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle again.

how good would it be if they knocked off kate

it's too bad roger lives until the purge

how good would it be if they knocked off kate

Both of them at once?

mmm I like that tooth filling/"my teeth hurt" theory, because it was pretty clear that what was being dug was the Swan and not the Orchid - we saw them stamp the numbers on it!

so where oh where is Rosenard?

with everything re-edited in CHRONOLOGICAL order

Aside from the inevitable DVD/Blu-Ray sets, they could actually do this by also selling a DVR pre-loaded with the entire series, so you could watch chronologically or as originally presented without having to swap discs out.

i probably wouldn't bother including most of the first two seasons flashbacks tho

ESP. KATE'S

Watching the whole thing in chronological order would be lame and would make absolutely no sense from a character development point of view.

hmm interesting point matt

ya but it would be weird

we already know how the characters develop. i'd rather see it in (ok, heavily edited) chrono order than just rewatch the whole thing from the beginning. but i have lol-ADD.

many, many xposts

don't really blame the writers for a patchy season, i think the fill-in-the-blanks stuff is sort of necessary given the structure. In the timeline, we start off seeing point A and then point C, and then point B - it's good that we do get to see point B, just to remind people what happened before and after and confirm everyone's theories. and even stuff like seeing danielle and the frenchies was enjoyable, pointless as it was.

BUT what would've worked better is if point B had hinted more towards point D, something beyond the characters' present timelines, whether that's in 1977 or 2007. so far, the only exciting stuff that's been revealed about anything after where they are now is the Incident + an upcoming war + "shadow of the statue" folk - all of which is great, but not enough after 4-5 episodes of just backstory.

as for watching it in chronological order... lol you'd start off with sawyer and crew looking up at the back of the four-toed statue/christian and locke at the donkey wheel.

perfect :)

Thing is, we're already watching it in chronological order from the point of view of a core group of characters. What would be really fucked up (but cool) would be putting all the flashbacks into chronological order, which would probably make it start with some of the Richard Alpert stuff coming up in two episodes.

looking forward to all those scenes with Driveshaft mashed in between Locke and his dad's kidney-stealing drama.

rip driveshaft

Heaven needed You All Everybody.

i'd like to see Alpert in the Looking Glass feeding a shark, just because

pirates would totally keep sharks as pets

Think he'd get Mikhail to feed the sharks for him and just sit on a plundered throne looking cool.

i miss patchy. that guy saved season 3.

I started photoshopping Richard's face onto Capt. Jack Sparrow but gave that up pretty quickly.

It would at least explain the eyeliner look.

x-post As far as filling-in-the-blanks being a bad thing--this is a show where you have people saying "I'm still worried about Penny because we haven't seen what happened between the points where Ben was thrown into the water and when he made the phone call to Jack."

She whacked him over the head with an oar. (hoping)

Ok so I just got caught up. Kinda freaking cuz I searched that hieroglyph with the smoke monster and it's clearly in cahoots (or maybe about to do battle?) with Anubis! (?!?) But wtf does that make the smoke monster? Is there a Giant Shape Shifting Smoke Snake Of Judgment in Egyptian mythology? If not, then ???

Gahh, I haven't had time to think about anything cuz I've been catching up beginning with season 2 at the rate of like 4 eps in a row every night for the last month or whatever. I don't know how I'm gonna function watching one episode one week at a time.

way to get caught up rabies!! I know the pain of catching up, I think I did it in season 3 and have been suffering for my fix ever since

I hope Roger runs over Jack and Kate with a bus.

Ohhh maaannn, I turn on the TV cuz Lost is supposed to be on tonight, expecting a new episode, but I guess NZ is behind in airing cuz I tune in and it's just Lawnmower Man landing the plane on the island when Jack and everyone first get back and they gotta sneak em into the Dharma camp bla bla...fuckin drag!!

no new ep this week rite? :(

No new ep. Instead: "The Story of the Oceanic 6" catch-up special.

A clip show :`(````````

yeah you got caught up at exactly the wrong time :P
