i bet you six million dollars it will converge in some way
― max, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:09 (sixteen years ago)
one of the obstacles is the 3 year gap between the alt line and the island as we're now seeing it. they could go a weird route where everyone from 815 ends up dead anyway by 2007. this would be simpler than trying to merge the lines but maybe less satisfying.
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:09 (sixteen years ago)
giving them the benefit of the doubt like i did Ronald D Moore (yeah and look how that worked out ha ha).
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:11 (sixteen years ago)
There's been enough unsubtle hinting from Cuse and Lindelof that there be a merge of some kind - they said this off the bat so to assuage viewer fears that the sideways timeline wouldn't go anywhere or that the existing continuity would be overwritten or erased.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:12 (sixteen years ago)
honestly they can do what they want with the timelines just don't give us another episode as crappy as last week's
watched Tabula Rasa again last night and Kate is actually great in it
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:14 (sixteen years ago)
season 1 Kate was so awesome. I think her character started to suck around the time of the episode w/ the horse. always the goddamn horse.
― Roz, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:17 (sixteen years ago)
is that the toy plane episode?
― sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:18 (sixteen years ago)
You won't be saying that when the horse magically stops the bomb from ever blowing up.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:19 (sixteen years ago)
or when the horse singlehoofedly reconciles the timelines
― sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:19 (sixteen years ago)
not the toy plane one. its episode 3 where she's living on that farm in the outback.
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:20 (sixteen years ago)
The horse will save everyone by pushing the frozen donkey wheel.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:21 (sixteen years ago)
jacob will ride across the sky on the horse imo

was weird seeing the trailer for the The Forgotten last week which stars Bernard and Alex Linus/Rousseau
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:28 (sixteen years ago)
at the time, i thought the toy plane one was just a crappy episode but i still liked kate, but the horse episode had all the stuff with sawyer and jack, and kate crying for no reason, which was when i thought yeah fuck off.
― Roz, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:40 (sixteen years ago)
If the timelines do converge, Adam and Eve are going to be alternate timeline Jack and Kate, aren't they?
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 15:41 (sixteen years ago)
They aren't going to reconcile the timelines, that would be ridiculous even by Lost standards.

cutty i just want to say i appreciate your zero-tolerance-for-shit-you-disagree-with attitude on this thread, there are things to fuck around about on the internet, and lost is not one of them
― max, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 16:02 (sixteen years ago)
no, i have zero tolerance for people showing zero tolerance for lost theories
― sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 16:02 (sixteen years ago)
i haven't pooped on anyone, just part of the dicussion. i speculated upthread and some dude and matt DC are like NO WAY MAN NEVER EVER WHAT
haha
srsly though the idea that they wouldn't resolve the new timeline w/ the others is batshit from a production cost-benefit analysis point of view imo.
― tehresa, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 16:03 (sixteen years ago)
ya i mean, would everything just end badly followed by a title card saying 'SEE?'
― amuse-douche (s1ocki), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 16:06 (sixteen years ago)
i want lost to end like the clue movie
― sir ilx-a-lot (cutty), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 16:07 (sixteen years ago)
timelines bleeding into each other must involve smokemonster whizzing along the Sunset Strip or this show is for shit
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 16:07 (sixteen years ago)
Timelines bleeding into each other sounds more convincing than Faraday sending them all back to magically make everything how it was supposed to be. Might explain Hurley's conversations with dead people.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 16:09 (sixteen years ago)
I still want them to wrap up with a "th-th-th-that's all, folks!"

Personally, I'd like to see C&L introduce new characters, pose more wtf questions & generally tighten the screws of obfuscation all the way up to the final episode, in which a Wizard of Oz/Architect of the Matrix figure will appear & call everyone to some mystical, hidden conference room for an hour-long Q&A session where all the secrets of the show will be dealt with in a series of raised hands, bullet points, and possibly even an PowerPoint presentation.

not so much that but Walt's powers definitely
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 17:11 (sixteen years ago)
"We got more than we bargained for with that boy."
Really? WHAT? He made some birds fall out of the sky. Anything else? I'm sure Jacob or Smokey had no use for such talents.
Of course Walt could just ride in on the horse and save them all yes please.
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 17:12 (sixteen years ago)
looks like somebody's got a case of "lostalgia"

*cymbal crash*
Yeah, recent interviews with D&C leave me no hope that they're ever going to do anything with Walt ... they used to say they had a plan for dealing with his aging and now they're saying it's too difficult to work around.
Probably just a thematic tie-in, but the whole Hatch creation to prevent the destructive force of the underground energy well from destroying the island (which it does in the revised '77, thanks to Jack and co.) parallels the imprisonment and release of Jacob's enemy.
Can't believe I didn't think of this, that's really good.
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:04 (sixteen years ago)
the walt thing is too bad but at least they can't make it about a superchild who is the prophetic saviour or some bullshit like that anymore
― amuse-douche (s1ocki), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:06 (sixteen years ago)
think it should end "the others were created by humans..."
― V-E-R-Y (history mayne), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:10 (sixteen years ago)
At least this show won't be wrapped up with an hour of exposition from Dean Stockwell telling us about years and years of events we never see. I hope. Though Dean Stockwell is always nice to have.
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:13 (sixteen years ago)
"at least they can't make it about a superchild who is the prophetic saviour or some bullshit like that anymore"
why is this particular card off the table? because the actor's aged out?

I don't care if Malcolm David Kelley never returns to the show, I just want to know what Walt's deal was. I still think that Season 2 was probably the show's best, but most of it just feels so inconsequential now.

There's plenty of material in place for having Walt pull a Tommy Westphall, whether they decide to do that or not.
