Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

i can't remember the mechanics of hamster time-travel

this always bugged me:

hamster sits in the maze
hamster does not know how to run maze
hamster is zapped by daniels machine
hamster's consciousness travels to future when hamster has been taught how to run maze
hamster successfully runs maze
hamster's brain explodes

when is the hamster taught to run the maze?

the others are probably the most inconsistent thing about the show
i know they moved into new otherton after they killed all the dharma guys
but my brain just can't fathom how the same group of people that enjoy muffins + book club at juliet's house also live in this wacko temple throwing ash everywhere to hold back the ancient egyptian death god

Maybe because the Temple Others never lived in the barracks in the first place? These guys look like they'd been there a lot longer than the people who were brought over on the sub to sort out security and medicine and fertility shit. Maybe several hundred years longer.

expect this lil dude to be making a few cameos

how did the flight attendant end up at the temple, though??

She and a couple of the kids were taken by the Others IIRC?

She is in cahoots!

If island is underwater as a result of events in 1977, Sawyer is the only one Jacob could have visited with.

Elaborate?

In the SSN 5 finale, Sawyer's Jacob visit was the only one that happened prior to 1977. So if (big if, I know) Jacob died on the Island in 1977, then the other visits didn't happen--or happened at different times.

Ah, right. We still don't know exactly when the island sank in the flash-sideways timeline; if the island went down in '77, when the bomb went off, or if the bomb started a chain of events that later on sank the island. (I'm also a bit confused as to how a hydrogen bomb detonation would cause an island to sink rather than just blow chunks of it around. OTOH hey it's an island that can teleport through space-time....)

x-post I have a feeling that the Others who lived in the Dharma barracks were the more recently recruited ones--like Cindy and Juliet--and those at the Temple had been around a lot longer. The nu-Others were sent to the Temple in SSN 3 so that's why we see Cindy there now. Not sure if Ben was the leader of the Temple Others too. Richard probably floats between groups. He wasn't around the Barracks during the cage-sex era.

Jacob specifically told Hurley to get on the plane, so I'm sure he thought through the ramifications.

just remembered that it's been three years since the Oceanic 6 left on the chopper and everyone else went time-travelling, so who knows what the Others (alpert people/barracks people/temple people) have been up to in the meantime?

but my brain just can't fathom how the same group of people that enjoy muffins + book club at juliet's house also live in this wacko temple throwing ash everywhere to hold back the ancient egyptian death god

but they *are* the same people. these were the same guys who dressed like hippies while terrorising airplane crash victims, and speak latin, and had some weird new-agey funeral ritual. also throwing ash around to ward off the smokemonster just seems like the DIY equivalent to turning on a smokey-repelling security fence imo.

I really get the feeling that Ben's takeover of the group was what led to all the modernization/adoption of suburban lifestyles and so on, and it's mostly his weird obsession with the pregnancy thing that led to a lot of it. Few of them really seemed to care, and the New Age/hippie stuff seemed more like their default mode.

Also lol @ Sayid being saved by the same thing that saved Ben after Sayid tried to kill him.

Thanks Keyes! That is what I meant- Sawyer's parents died around 73-75 iirc, he made a comment to jack about how he couldve gone back or whatever.

I still think plane ride is flash forward & that jack is going to get that neck wound fighting for the others against smokey before being zapped back to 2004..

Next ep is called "What Kate Does" - a ref to "What Kate Did" in Season 2 (itself a ref to the book "What Katy did").

least appealing episode title ever tbh. i wish they would do more ft. character names in the title tho. only Kate has had this privilege iirc altho Sun and Locke have been referenced in ep titles via crappy puns.

Future episodes:

DEStiny Calls
The Times They Are A-ChanJIN
WALTabout
The CLAIREvoyant
The EKOnomist
Flashes before your MILES
The BENginning of the BENd

Here Comes the SUN

glad you guys took my bait

oh i forgot they did Hugo too (Everybody Hates Hugo)

PAOLO Can You Go?

THE MAN IN BLACK to the Future

titles to the first dozenish (i think) episodes of this season are floating around the internet. wikipedia has some. i won't list them because some are fairly suggestive, but i will say there's another sun pun involved.

reading this thread while catching up on season 4 is like ~being~ desmond

You should read the Season 4 thread!

why would you..

Flash SAYID-ways
Ex-ROSE-ay

why would you..

i mean who reads the season 6 thread of a show while they're still watching season 4?? what fresh hell is THAT

yes and i am echoing your sentiment

i am watching the season finale of season four.....RIGHT NOW

if you're stuck in 2008 I recommend a hydrogen bomb

this thread is about lost season 6. why are you reading it dude?!

WEST SAYID

Shit, it's tonight! It's going to take me another week or two to get used to Tuesdays being Lost night.

I know I'm Hooked on Lost again because I immediately started poring over that picture and looking for clues.

wow w/634 messages per episode this thread is going to be legendary

OH JEEZ A KATE EPISODE HOW LAME getting posted 634 times is going to get a little tedious though

probably not as tedious as the actual kate episode will be

Hardcore on the run Kate >>>>>>>> Island Kate >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Oceanic 6 mothering Aaron Kate

60 minutes of Kate prettily beating the shit out of people is a-ok with me
