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

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

yeh would be funny if miles cuts of dad's hand

dan really is the male version of thingy um juliet - the same rubbish plaintive face and soft annoying voice every time and nothing else ever

Wait, what is this junk? Is it just gonna be this recap shit till 10?

no new ep this week dog

My local ABC feed is out entirely -- good timing.

gotta love Pierre clutching at the arm that's going to disappear in the future in that con video

what's the "new perspective" the trailer was boasting about?

So who narrated the clip show tonight? When I found out it wasn't Michael Emerson I didn't stick around.

It was Werner Herzog iirc

According to the episode's Lostpedia entry it doesn't sound like there was any new illuminating perspective or anything. Just a clipshow.

This show appears to give us an answer to one of the show's mysteries when Carbonell states that it was Charles Widmore who faked the wreckage of Flight 815.

^^we already knew this, right?

Next episode's called "The Variable". Centered round Des or Faraday I hope?

Both I hope. Desmond fans are getting severely fucked over in this series but they've got to bring him back properly sometime soon, and his main relationship seems to be with Faraday now. But probably a Faraday ep - he seems to be the character to move the plot forward in a big way as they've been hinting since the start of the season.

It was Werner Herzog iirc

oh man, Werner Herzog describing Hurley throwing a Hot Pocket at Ben = the best of all possible worlds.

Anyway according to lostpedia it was Nestor Carbonell. Whenever they let the character actors narrate I always wish they'd let them self-editorialize, like describe everyone else all-business and then say things like "the sensual, eternally handsome Richard Alpert, whose eyelashes are naturally that luxuriant." Beats hearing about how Claire is Jack's sister for the third year running.

I can see them doing more backstory type stuff, eg we all are going to know what Faraday knows or why he's there or something he did 20 years ago rather than anything new, sigh...

What he knows and why he's there is probably very significant seeing as he's the only one who knows how all that time travel shit works and how they can get back to 2007 before Ben gasses them all.

He'll probably get unstuck in time which should help them to cover all the bases at once. Which means more of his annoying mum.

All of the above means less monster/others, who cares if they get back or not, haha.

it would be cool if they jump fwd again to around Purge time - maybe the Incident could trigger that

i wonder if they'd actually show us Radzinsky blowing his brains out (bringing him into it does suggest this but it's not necessary, just neat) - seeing him enter numbers/push the button for the first time would be cool

My biggest worry is that it'll get too caught up with the whole how Faraday came to love Charlotte back story and we'll have a new Rose/Bernard wet blanket all over again. But the name of the episode alone I think points to some big shit going down, so worst case scenario if it gets a bit bloated by Lost fumbling to make you feel things there'll at least be some payoff. + they've seemed to have cut back on that stuff quite a bit this season so I'm optimistic.

i wish the 'previously on lost' guy had narrated.

great long interview with Darlton: http://www.bullz-eye.com/television/interviews/2009/lost.htm

i didn't miss anything with the clip show then?

how they can get back to 2007 before Ben gasses them all.

Thought that said "before Ben glasses them all". Season 4 finale: BIG FIGHT in EAST END PUB.

bring your own cricket bat

man, i love this show to deth.

'Lost' Star Sued for Sexual Harassment

Posted Apr 24th 2009 7:45PM by TMZ Staff

Henry Ian Cusick, who plays Desmond on the show "Lost," is being sued for sexual harassment.

According to a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Chelsea Stone claims that while working on the show, Cusick placed his hand on her buttocks and caressed the back of her body while making moaning sounds.

She also claims Cusick "placed his face on top of her breasts, moving his face from side to side." He then squeezed her breasts with his hands.

According to the lawsuit, approximately twelve days after this went down, Stone was let go. ABC and Grass Skirt Productions are also named as defendants. She is seeking unspecified damages.

Cusick's rep had no comment.

All of the above means less monster/others, who cares if they get back or not, haha.

Dunno, there are still loads of Others left in 2007 aren't there? The ones that Locke was supposed to lead and before he suddenly vanished. They only really killed off the hard dudes. We still know less about the Others than anything else on the show and it doesn't look they're in much of a hurry to tell us what their deal is before next series.

Meh to the Monster now. It's good when it's smashing things up but everything they hint at on top of that is a bit lame. They won't explain that until next year either. It needs to spend more time wreaking carnage and less time going "Egyptian gods, ghosts, woooo".

is it possible that faraday knows what lies in the shadow of the statue?

also hope they do bring back charlotte.

really looking forward to alpert episode.

I have a feeling the Alpert episode may be a hoax as it's not mentioned on Lostpedia :(

when has aintitcoolnews lied?? u must B-Lieve

yeah lostpedia has a pretty strict spoiler policy and never mentions whose centric episode it is more than a week before it airs. we'll see, some of the other forums seem to think that it's gonna be a locke episode.

the report on ew about henry ian cusick is even more o_0

Stone says that ABC and production company Grass Skirt Entertainment, which are also named as defendants, did nothing to keep her away from Cusick after she complained and, over the next several days, the actor and fellow employees became "very hostile" toward her.

On Oct. 28, 2007, Stone was informed that she had been fired, the lawsuit states.

Per the suit, "plaintiff suffered humiliation and severe mental and emotional distress, and suffered injury when by means of her stress Plaintiff miscarried," causing Stone to incur various medical expenses and suffer 'physical injuries, physical sickness, substantial losses in earnings" and other indignities.

el oh el

the actor and fellow employees became "very hostile" toward her.

not to judge before everything else comes in but this is a weird detail (the bit about other employees).

It's motorboatin', brother!

psyched for tonight's

I tuned in when they were rolling Des in on a gurney. Can someone tell me what, if anything, happened in the couple of minutes before that (at the very beginning of the episode)?

"previously on lost" happened

!
