Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

btw who will help me bankroll a Hurley/Miles spin-off series

ghost cops fighting crimes!

the Kate/Jack/Sawyer/Juliet musical chairs game was worse imo (xpost)

the comic con vid is definitely the source of that detail about kate killing her dad v her dad's employee.

i think a lot of the duller moments of the premiere will be a lot more interesting in hindsight after we've seen more of the season.

I had a total BUMMERZ moment when Rose started talking to Jack and I was all "wait, she's goingto die of cancer now, isn't she ;_;"

yeah as an episode in and of itself it was kind of a dud imo, but the details that they'll be mining will definitely make it more interesting

haha my wife said the same thing about Rose

Maybe Rose doesn't have cancer in the flash-sideways!

yeah everyone who i watched it with burst out laughing at those terrible cgi fish

my wife and I lolled at that too

I was too busy going "oh snap, the island is underwater" to lol at fish

I oh, snapped at the underwater dharmaville swing set and then also lolled

I think I was kind of like, "get that fake-ass fish out the way so I can see that foot"

it kind of reminded of a letterman top 10 intro

Yeah, I assumed that the split into parallel realities would occur at the moment of turbulence. But that appears not to be the case.

It looks like the new timeline's created in 1977 with the Jughead explosion. So there's years of alternate history leading to the 2004 we saw in this ep. The character dynamics are largely the same even if the details are different at this point, but that may change as the two lines converge somehow. We know that the history of the island in the alt-timeline is mostly the same, ie the statue is built and destroyed, Dharma comes to the island, etc. So some event happens between 1977 and 2004 to sink the island.

ha ha otm

No, the statue had already been built and destroyed and Dharma had already come to the island when the Incident happened. No reason to assume it didn't sink then.

Ah, that's true. We were shown nothing on the sunken island to date it post-Incident/1977.

yeah i think the bomb going off propelled the 77-ers to their proper timeline (2007, with Ajira Airways, Jacob, Ben etc.), while creating an entirely new timeline where the island sank and they never crashed.

I didn't hear one fuckin frackles

there was a blondie though

gonna be pretty ;_: if this season is frackles-free

I hope they make some bold fashion choices for ben this season

I am thinking that the reason that Juliet knows that it worked is that she became unstuck in universes due to being right near the blast.

Damn lotta posts to catch up on the last 12 hours!

A theory on Lostpedia was that MIB saying 'nice to see you out of those chains' he was referring not only to his having arrived in chains on the Black Rock but also having been a slave of Jacob's for years, which I thought was awesome.

Why was Jack's neck bleeding btw?

so they have something to connect the preceding events to when shown later on, a la the rip in Ben's coat

lol women don't understand alternate realities

Thanks for the call above on Puppet Master guy from Heroes being the cab driver that Kate sticks up - it indeed was David H. Lawrence.

And the Desmond thing is definitely interesting, since he has been untethered to time, perhaps he will also be untethered to the shifting realities..

btw who will help me bankroll a Hurley/Miles spin-off series

The Shannon thing I'm pretty sure they said she didn't accept their offer to come back - that's the only reason she was written off the plane.

And for Juliet... so she should be totally alive and cool in the alternate universe, so she'll probably pop up again some point this season. Maybe you're right and that's how she figured it out right before she died.

they writers may try to be cute and reconcile the two time lines as one--

the current 2004 lost people all become friends, jack operates on locke, sawyer bangs kate, hurley becomes mayor of LA, and somehow they decide to go back to the island in 2007... when they wake up in the aftermath of the bomb going off.

wtf, one of my Facebook friends just wrote "I don't have a TV at home, what is 'Lost'?" as her status

so, my (prob wrong) thought on the nice to see you out of those chains thing re: alpert - the only character we've seen in chains (and that locke has seen in chains) on lost is Anthony Cooper (lockes dad, the real sawyer)

from lostapedia:

Acting on knowledge obtained from a file given to him by Richard Alpert, Locke carried Cooper to the Black Rock and then lured Sawyer there to kill him, claiming that the man he was holding captive was Ben. After Locke locked Sawyer and Cooper in the Brig together, Cooper told Sawyer about how he came to the island, corroborated Naomi's claim that Flight 815 was found with no survivors, and shared his belief that the island is actually Hell. Cooper then inadvertently revealed his past connection to Sawyer, who handed him the letter he wrote to the original Sawyer as a child, demanding that he read it. When Cooper mocked Sawyer and tore up his letter, Sawyer strangled him to death with a chain. ("The Brig")

so its possible that alpert gets to inhabit memories/peeps as well?

imo it was super disappointing that they didn't let Sawyer pop up with a familiar nickname for one of the 'strangers' he met in the airport, but maybe they were afraid that would send the wrong message about him being aware of everything.

xp: I'd maybe buy that if the Locke in question who made the comment was actually Locke

well hes part locke, or at least has access to his memories - ie the whole telling ben what his last thoughts were

I also enjoyed the return of the slow motion walking while violins play part of lost

it was long as hell and I don't even remember what part it was, only that it happened

brother

wtf, one of my Facebook friends just wrote "I don't have a TV at home, what is 'Lost'?" as her status

gtfo

the other thing that makes me think the fake locke chains comment is more than just "oh hai you were on that ship" is that the look on alperts face is much more "oh shit/oh wait you know about that" shock than i'd expect otherwise, unless he somehow is too dense to have figured out who fake locke is at that point which is doubtful

I just thought it was general undisguised terror on Alpert's part.

maybe. idk there seemed to be an element of oh snap spit-take about it. my idea is def far fetched tho (although not much more so than them somehow getting cooper on the island or 90% of the other shit, so who knows)

I agree with mr. PIES! PIES! PIES! PIES! PIES! I think people go a little overboard with the interpretation of this show sometimes.

slow start but was enjoying this by the end. got the eps from hotfile/rapidshare, worked like a charm :)

sawyer was hard to watch in this. he just sucks when he's actively angry. also gaaaah @ "you got it, blondie"

smokey and temple stuff all pretty cool.

Smokey has gone back to being terrifying

yeah them setting up the Sawyer angry vendetta blaming Jack re: Juliet was terrible, really hope they don't work that angle the whole season

It's a very natural vendetta to set up, though. They've spent pretty much the entire series in competition with each other and have never really been best buds, so it would be very odd and wholly out-of-character for Sawyer to be all "I know your shenanigans just got my wife killed but it's okay because you meant well."

unless he somehow is too dense to have figured out who fake locke is at that point which is doubtful

It may be that while he knows MIB he has no clue that MIB imitates the dead of the island?

(meanwhile Kate being all "I feel your pain" on the outside while on the inside she's all "WOO-HOO I HAVE BOTH OF MY FUCKTOYS BACK" is also v in-character, so while I'm not looking forward to another round of pussy-go-round it sort of seems inevitable at this point)

Not one of those alternate reality guys bothered to grow a goatee? Come On!

^^^ this. I read an interview with Lindelhof and Cuse where they talk about the Sawyer/Jack/Kate triangle being back this season, and that it was something fans wanted to see -- what fans are they hearing from that wanted this? Twilight teens?

more important frogurt trivia: he is also "roach" (the mute helpful kid) in people under the stairs.

the Sawyer entry here is kind of incredible
