Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

why would you ever need that

It is a question worth asking.

I have a feeling that gif will make a reappearance immediately following the finale.

any joe frank fans in here? there was a bit where flocke talking to james almost mimicked exactly a bit from joe frank's take on the joseph story. the part where he goes (and i misquote) if you were my son, i would never have allowed this to happen; i would pull you off that cross so fast etc....

Huge Joe Frank fan here. Don't you mean MIB talking to Richard though?

Not so much Locke, but Ben Linus is a walking Joe Frank monologue, and everyone's backstory was pilfered from This American Life segments.

really curious where they'll go with the 'Charlie' episode

Begins with him busking in Purgatory: 'I know what it's like to be dead ... I know what it is to be sad'

Why does Kwon have to be Sun or Jin, when they have a kid who is conveniently not even on the island?

MIB said in last ep he had no idea whether Kwon referred to Jin, Sun, or child

Not that the writers have never broken a convention they set up, but the flashback they pulled to illustrate the ambiguity showed Jacob touching Jin & Sun, and without some kind of additional ovarian massage scene, that sort of rules out the kid.

But he went and touched Kate too and she's not included.

did they replay the kate touch when they were in the cave of names?

No. And I thought Ethan was designated Other ovarian massager.

did jacob actually touch sun, though? or just jin?

both

Huge Joe Frank fan here. Don't you mean MIB talking to Richard though?

yeah that's the conversation i meant.

has anyone, like me, watched the premiere episodes a second time? once you've gotten over the initial novelty of 'new lost!'... they are exceedingly tiresome to watch.

i did notice that hurley is clean shaven when coming back from sydney, despite having huge sideburns at locke's firing a few days later. alt timeline hurley is evidently some kind of wolfman.

also sun seems to get detained at airports a lot.

Hurley is a hairy guy. I reckon he could grow them pretty quickly.

Always thought the original Jin and Sun backstory was one of the best, and they've kind of wasted it as a plot point, especially her evil megalomaniac dad. I hope that comes back into play rather than the endless yearning and confused faces they seem confined to these days. That said I don't see the baby being a big deal, the Island and the scriptwriters don't seem remotely interested in it.

maybe kate marries sawyer and takes Ford as her last name, making her the real #15

According to wikipedia the next ep is a jackback and then the show will diverge from season 1's order.

I'M GONNA JACKBACK
("NOW HOLD UP, MAN!")
I'M GONNA JACKBACK

I hope that comes back into play rather than the endless yearning and confused faces they seem confined to these days.

Hah ha ha, yeah, so true - Sun's possibly the most wasted character on the show

It's sad because it seemed like around S4 we'd see a changed, evolved or more evil Sun during the Oceanic 6 storyline, but not much has really come of it. A really wasted opportunity here.

She is a human reaction shot.

If I was the actress I'd be kind of embarrassed to be there at this point ... 'have you seen my husband? oh, he's dead in the past? ok. what, you can take me to him? ok. whatever you say, i have no initiative even though my backstory is replete with references to me standing up for myself'

show could use more season 4 Gordon Gekko Sun imo

otm about sun, she shoulda killed someone and then been "oh shit, Jin is still alive?"

Sun and Lapidus have only been back on the island for about two days haven't they?

I was really dreading Sun refusing to go with Ilana to the temple this last episode.

Sun and Lapidus have only been back on the island for about two days haven't they?

same amount as jack hurley et al

not really accurate, there were in the 70s for a while

theyyyyyyyyyyyy

not really accurate, there were in the 70s for a while

Same amount of time has passed, though.

really? the whole season was like a week long!

xp

whatever it was it wasn't two days

just read lostpwdia and while it doesn't state it explicitly, it looks like the time jack and everyone spent in 1977 was no more than three days

you said two days

;)

I agree that Sun exemplifies some wasted potential but y'all are forgetting her awesome oar-whacking scene where she takes Ben out followed by the "I lied" shrug.

I'd have a little more respect for her if she beat some answers out of Richard with an oar too

it was cool when she shot Pickett's wife. lol Pickett.

Poor Trixie! And yeah, that oar scene was great, tru dat

It would be really great if the writers start using Sun as a proxy for the viewer by having her run around the island and use oars to beat answers out of people. Especially if she beats Jack into unconsciousness in the process.

Jack and Kate are Adam and Eve after Sun kills them with an oar.

^ & xp: can get w/ this idea. Lost writers reading this thread, please write this down.

its amazing how every character on lost at some point in their life perfected the technique of knocking someone out with one blow. charlie knocks desmond out cooold with an oar at the end of S3. i think kate knocks someone out with a wooden instrument at least once a season

Yeah last time I tried to knock someone out with an oar I had to hit them five or six times. It was so embarassing.

haha! rewatching the end of S2 at the moment its a real peak of the show imo. you still have the goofy light-hearted episodes while at the same time the hatch stuff is genuinely mysterious and the introduction of ben is probably the best thing that ever happened to the show. S6 needs more ben!
