Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

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

what fans are they hearing from that wanted this? Twilight teens?

TWoPpers

Yuck

most disgusting savages iirc

Many people as well as various inanimate objects: Son of a bitch

what did Juliet say before she said she had something to tell him? Was it "would you like to get a cup of tea?" -- i.e. was she flashing forward to when she meets Sawyer in un-crash time?

also I'd like to see an animated gif of Juliet falling down the hole

was she flashing forward to when she meets Sawyer in un-crash time?

Oooh, hadn't thought of that.

no walt/michael on the flight has throttled my hopes of a walt and smokey psychic combat throwdown,
but seeing Sol has raised hopes for Ian McShane/Deadwood superreunion.

good catch lostpedia, i missed this:

Flashsideways timeline: Sun & Jin are not married. Sun is called Ms. Paik, not Mrs. Kwon, by the customs officer at LAX. Neither Jin or Sun are wearing wedding rings.

oh hey

was that posted? sorry if it was

I think the plane trip we saw is the end result of what is going to happen in this Jacob/MIB post hatch explosion life that Sawyer et al landed in. Smokey wants to go home- maybe his struggle with Jacob (in Sayid?)- will cause the real reset, send the island under water somehow, allow the 815 flight to off without a hitch. With a lot more clever LOST tricks I am not capable of writing...

Isn't it interesting that locke's knives and jack's dad's coffin- two tangible objects that were of significant use on the island- were the two things missing from the flight?

All of the island events we saw last night are in 2007, though; the plane trip is (presumably) in 2004.

No, 2004. That's when Desmond blew up the hatch, right?

Or yes, I guess the hatch would still have looked like wreckage in 2007.

Yeah, everything on the island was same time frame. Ben definitely killed Jacob in 2007, and then Jacob appears to Hurley and says "I died 10 minutes ago."

The parallel timeline aspect of the show this season is going to keep me awake at night, but I welcome the challenge.

hi maria last night i got a gif animator to make a bram/smokey gif
in the meantime here is juliet falling down the hole as requested you sadist
