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

I think the writers have already admitted that they fucked up over Charlotte's age.

If she was about 5 in 1977, she'd be 32 in 2004 which looked right to me.

Yeah but in an earlier episode Ben recapped her life and claimed she was a lot younger.

because the island wanted them to

Ben just got his maths wrong (he was under pressure) is all. Charlotte didn't point this out because she liked the idea of being a few years younger.

lol

ITS JUST LIKE REAL LIFE

i love that Charlotte left the island at an early age (was Daniel only warning her to leave personally in the hope that she would somehow not return? didn't he figure she'd be evacuated anyway?) but later in life got into Geronimo Jackson ("turn it up!") anyway.

i hope you're happy now, jacob

Anyone know Latin?

didn't i say locke was in the crate, you all owe me $5

o my head

so smokey/locke/yemi/bens daughter are all the dude in black at the beginning then

probably christian as well

"ille qui nos omnes servabit" = "he who will save us all"

eeeeehhhhhhhhyeah, I guess........
xpost

and jacob gives items to sawyer (pen) jack (candy bar) kate (lunchbox) hurley (guitar) but nothing to locke and sun

thinking out loud here obv

oh goddamn those motherfuckers!!!!!!

which makes the ones who got items go back to 77, but not locke and sun

now that's television

I think Jacob just had to touch everybody or their stuff

overall it was an good episode but they must be saving the best for the last season

this was my favorite comment on tv without pity's message board so far -

"I've invested five years of my life in this damn show, thinking Locke was special. But he only thinks he's special because Richard told him because Locke told HIM. We finally see him take hold of his "destiny" and it turns out it's NotLocke, it's some other...thing....person...whatever. Wow. I guess John Locke died as he lived -- a gullible fool with no life purpose. Fuck."

yeah...my interest in Locke has always been far outstripped by his apparent importance, so i have no problem w/ that.

The actor who plays Smokey/Black Shirt in the opening scene with Jacob looked very familiar. Anybody know who that was?

Silus from Deadwood (Titus Welliver)

question - the dude at the beginning - Jacob said they disagreed, but do you think Jacob agreed he had to die?

Comments: Hi Titus Fans, I knew Titus in high school and can tell you he was a great guy.My sister Beth was his girlfriend for a while and I got to know him fairly well. My sister still says he was the best man she was ever with. Just fyi I'am gay and one time at a party some idiots were saying fag alot and Titus told them to mind their tongues.One of the guys told Titus to fuck off,to which Titus responded which of you is the strongest? A very large linebacker stepped forward, they all started laughing and the next thing we knew Titus had punched the guy right in the mouth and down the jerk went. I can tell you the other guys just backed off. I'll never forget that,which I think is an indication as what kind of guy he is.He hated bullies.Anyway I was sorry to hear of Titus's fathers death,he too was a kind and brilliant man.

"overall it was an good episode but they must better be saving the best for the last season"

fixed.

format FAIL

oh shit i knew juliet's red shirt was gonna kill her. :(

xxxxpost he gave sun and jin his blessing

cocksuckers.

ricardos!

Did Sayid get anything from Jacob? Other than a dead wife, obv.

"I've invested five years of my life in this damn show, thinking Locke was special. But he only thinks he's special because Richard told him because Locke told HIM. We finally see him take hold of his "destiny" and it turns out it's NotLocke, it's some other...thing....person...whatever. Wow. I guess John Locke died as he lived -- a gullible fool with no life purpose. Fuck."

But Locke remembered being strangled to death. He's still Locke to some degree.

Hmm that cliff hanger sucked, didnt leave me thinking omg it left me thinking f this shit.

Also how long so corpses stay looking so fresh?

titus locke remembered ben's memory of strangling locke, duh

i have no idea whether this was a good or bad finale. it was lols mostly, like locke dropping out of the building behind Jacob while he's reading flannery o'connor.

i like the whole loophole idea. it was a theory of mine way back that these characters have been playing these roles out over and over ad infinitium. seems to be the direction s6 is going.

thought all the actual jacob/locke/ben stuff was cool; the relationship shit seemed even stupider than usual. like seriously how many times can juliette and kate flip-flop their attitudes in one episode? lol women are fickle. their motivations make absolutely no sense anymore at this point

yeah kate and juliet changing their minds every two seconds was annoying and made no sense. it's obvs they stuck in the juliet flashback (which was the only one that didn't involve jacob) just so they could have a reason why she would change her mind. lame.

also wtf no desmond? is this his punishment for motorboating?

too bad juliet didn't have that flashback any other time in the past three years

things i dug:

1. jacob/ben/locke/black rock/shadow of the statue stuff
2. hey jacob is the dude from dexter
3. hey jacob's frenemy is the dude from deadwood
4. sawyer and jack punch-up
5. richard knocking out eloise
6. "I'm a Pisces."
7. Juliet being a badass in the sub.
8. NKOTB lunchbox
9. Rose and Bernard reappearance was pointless but i lol'd at "son of a bitch" and "we're retired."
10. the driveshaft ring to rule them all.
11. black L O S T on white background title card

things that were crap:

1. the love square
2. no desmond
3. no older eloise or widmore
4. jack counting to five - did he get his dumb tattoo yet?
5. still not knowing how christian fits into all of this (although i guess he's like whatever NotLocke is?)
6. sawyer not giving phil or radzinsky a proper beatdown.
7. rose and bernard were still pointless.
8. i wish they had brought in jacob before because more than ever it looks like they pulled his story out of their asses, like oh he's been in their lives all this time. he's almost a one-man nikki and paolo.

why didn't you tell me that before i took jack out in the jungle to beat him up

tell me you guys didn't cry when juliet got pulled down the hole

that was sad. but seeing her bloodied and activating the bomb with a rock was worth it.

(i love her)
