Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

haha! people just HATE it when the plot slows down

dumb episode, further proof that kate episodes are fuckin worthless

Kate's funniest lines: "You'd better not slow ME down!" and the VERY CONVINCING "I can be very convincing when I wanna be"

yeah it was a weak episode but at least Mac was back

also the dude traveling with mac was an IDIOT

I love that they bring back Mac, after three seasons ago from a tiny part, have him complain to another character about those events, and then shoot him in the head at the end of the episode. Classic Lost!

he's the Others' Frogurt.

has kate even mentioned to sawyer that she's met his daughter? I mean the guy is about to go jump off a cliff, would think that she could at least remind him that he's still got a bit more to live for. stupid selfish kate "whaaa come help me look for claire."

Kate's funniest lines: "You'd better not slow ME down!"

Haha, I turned to my wife and said, "No, YOU'RE a jerk!"

Sayid sounded more British after being infected.

dumb episode, further proof that kate episodes are fuckin worthless

FINAL proof! there can be no further argument.

we should all celebrate, surely we have seen THE LAST KATE-CENTRIC EPISODE, EVER?

Except she hasn't been re-arrested/had her name cleared off-island so we still probably have to suffer a bit more.

Maybe we learn that in the alternate reality, all the 815ers die gruesome deaths and getting stuck on the island was the best possible scenario

Final Destination XVII: L O S T

do we know if kate is actually guilty in the alternate reality?

There was a video released at ComicCon that I think is linked upthread somewhere showing her on America's Most Wanted, because she rigged her dad's workplace to blow up, and his coworker got to work first that day? Anyone remember if Kate ever said she was innocent before, or was her conversation with Claire the first time we see her say that?

She didn't say she was innocent. She said "What would you say if I told you I was innocent?"

Ah, fair enough. Did she say that before?

"What would you say if I told you I was innocent?"

more clunky dialogue ugh

my brain hurts trying to work out all the timelines/characters now that it's all coming together. next episode looks good. the last time Sawyer saw Locke was when he jumped down the well to stop the time-jumps, right?

and I'm trying to work out Ben's relationship to Dogen and the Temple Others, esp since the 815 kids are there. former Leader? still Leader? its hard to remember Badass Ben now that he's FLocke's lil biatch

I don't think Ben's Others and Dogen's Others are the same group...?

I mean, never were...? I dunno.

theres gotta be some relationship, since aldo is in both

they must have had some overlap. but it does seem like no way could all of these people have fitted into Otherville (and i'm guessing Dogen never spent any time there shooting pool with Goodwin or whatever).

they are all one group, Ben told Alex, Rousseau and Karl to go to the temple, in the episode Karl & Rousseau bit the big ones..

also from lostpedia:
In "Left Behind" the Others abandoned The Barracks, traveling across the Island on foot to The Temple. In "The Brig" Ben tells Locke that they are "going to a new place. Well an old place actually". This is the first mention of the temple. At the conclusion of Season 3, Ben asked Richard to continue to take the rest of the group to the Temple while he and Alex attempted to intercept the survivors before their arrival at the radio tower. ("Through the Looking Glass")

the absurdity of characters making wholly irrational decisions just because they 'sense a connection,' eg claire befriending the crazy gun wielding convict, makes me a little uneasy. i know its lost, but the alt reality, at least it was portrayed in this ep, seems a little too surreal and far fetched for me to swallow.

you mean claire the girl who shacked up with and trusted her newborn with a recovering junkie?

Or agreeing to jet off to LA because of what a psychic told her?

Re: Ethan

yeah but he's Horace's stepson iirc.

xpost oh right maybe it's not alt reality that sucks so much as claire. actually, a friend and i agreed while watching that we'd forgotten how dumb claire is.

the absurdity of characters making wholly irrational decisions just because they 'sense a connection,' eg claire befriending the crazy gun wielding convict, makes me a little uneasy.

If this intuition were consistent, then Kate & Claire both would have freaked when Ethan showed up.

you're right, but i cling to the theory because it's the only way i can think of to rationalize claire's actions.

one of the clips from next week showed Sawyer meeting Fake Locke, so I'm glad that they're bringing those 2 groups/storylines together sooner than later.

i hope so! i think it will make it more interesting because there will be CONFRONTATION with smokey/locke/etc. also, we haven't mentioned how jin was like 'hold up, my wife who i haven't seen in years and thought i might never see again is probably HERE - where do you think she might be?' and kate was all 'not interested, gotta go make more rash, stupid moves!' what a fucking waste of human!!!!

I didn't think that was too far-fetched - Claire was waiting for a bus right? I could see her trying to get a cab or something but being unable to since she didn't have any money on her and it's not like she knew her way around or anything. the stupid thing was her going with Kate after that, wtf.

what i don't get is why she didn't try to flag down a COP. instead she's like 'oh these people stood me up at the airport i'll just take a bus to their house! nevermind i just got hijacked and all my shit stolen.' i mean... to be picky, she didn't even wait at the airport that long... all the other passengers were still making their way out. how did she know they weren't just late to come get her? did she try, i dunno, calling them? stupid, stupid girls.

jin was like 'hold up, my wife who i haven't seen in years and thought i might never see again is probably HERE - where do you think she might be?' and kate was all 'not interested, gotta go make more rash, stupid moves!' what a fucking waste of human!!!!

yeah this was the fucking pits--made absolutely NO sense

tbf Kate is just doing what the rest of us would re not giving a fuck about Jin and Sun at this point

dude i'd so much rather see a jin and sun reunion than more of kate doing idiotic things.

yeah jesus on the "stuff in lost i dont give a fuck about" list, #1 is "kates relationship with sawyer" followed closely by "#2 kates relationship with jack" and then "sun and jin" is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY down the list

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYLT

blueski is jesus?

did the torture test of sayid make sense re: smokey? I dungeddit.

yeah you'd think blowing the ash on Sayid would have done something if he is indeed smokey.. Can't remember if it was canon or theorizing that I have heard Smokey referred to as being an electro-magnetic something? Maybe because he seemed to be kept out by the giant pylon wall the Others built.. and why didn't Sayid heal up instantly when branded with the poker, etc? It really did seem that he HAD passed the tests..

they didn't say he is smokey, they said he has the sickness

don't conflate the two lost mysteries

I think the confusion is enhanced by the fact that lennon wasn't even 100% sure of what he'd told sayid.

oh I guess they didn’t call him smokey.. Whooops. Then why the ash test?

that's because lennon doesn't even speak japanese

Sayid and Claire have been infected by a "darkness" that radically alters their personality, in the same way Rousseau's team had been.

Maybe there's more than one smokey. like the one that polluted the healing water could be a different smokey than locke-smokey.

I just assumed Smokey could break into many little pieces and be as many people/puffs of smoke as he wanted.. I think we have seen the smoke in several pieces..

It seems weird that locke-smokey would need to possess people when he can just mimic them outright. This disease-smokey could be some kind of smokey baby that hasn't learned to do that yet perhaps?

I don't think the disease and smokey are the same thing.
