Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

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

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

good because they only showed that THREE TIMES last night (between recap episode, recap at beginning of new episode, then within new episode)

Yeah, I get that they're in 2007, I think this season will be about accomplishing something that propels them back to 2004 as if the island never existed.

Xp interesting about the Paik/ring observations!

bloody kissing is the worst

im sort of hoping they open every show with it

haha replaces the LOST title card

so i think we're supposed to get that their lives were connected to the island long before oceanic 815 right?

kind of hoping still-crippled alt.locke is somehow going to save everyone from evil.bad.fake.locke.

yeah but that's nothing new? their lives being connected.

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

Yeah, that and her posthumous 'it worked' were indications that she was briefly aware of the fact that an alternate timeline had been created.

but didn't Miles establish when explaining his power to Hurley that he just has access to a dead person's final living thoughts, not actual communications from beyond?

Yeah, but her conversation with Sawyer showed that she had awareness of it while living, hence Miles was able to pick it up, being some of her last thoughts. (Reminds me of MIB's last-thoughts-of-Locke monologue)

Apropos of nothing these posters are really nice!

oh ok...i think i was distracted or something during her death scene so i didn't really catch that

There were a bunch of little exchanges I had to replay. The fact that the post-implosion Swan set looks so different now totally threw me, too, so I didn't realize everybody was in 2007 for a while.

It's weird that the Dharma van travelled with everybody, too.

Someone must have been touvhing the van.. The same reason clothes can timetravel

________

Finefinemusic might be right that there isn't an alternative universe thing going on but rather another reset happens later this season. Anything is possible.

That reminds me. Tonight's episode of Fringe is supposed to have universes colliding. I really like that show a lot.

Oh yeah, one more thing. This thread has given me some hope since when I posted yesterday that Black Tunic Guy/Fake Locke may still have a chance at being the good guy. He might be the key to resetting everything and sinking the island (if there isn't alt universes). He found a loophole but killing Jacob isn't the only thing he has to do...

BTW, I was thinking Miles was sort of like "who would want to talk to the dead (my gift is a pain in the ass)" when Hurley said "visit me anytime".

lots of jabber about the dharma shark in the underwater shot implying that the island sank later than 1977 btw

brb, starting a band called Dharma Shark

will be shocked if there is not already a band named dharma shark

there isn't one that Google knows about, at least not on the 1st page

Someone must have been touvhing the van.. The same reason clothes can timetravel

Oh right, I'd forgotten about the rope Sawyer was holding when Locke went down the well to turn the wheel.

it would be kind of awesome if only men's clothes could time-travel

quick dan snail mail yourself a copy of this thread and dont open the envelope and you will have eternal rights to the Dharma Shark empire

speaking of Fringe, I was thinking how it's weird the special effects in Fringe are so good while the effects in Lost are so cheesy. I guess maybe they aren't using much CGI in Fringe, maybe more old-school effects instead?
