Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

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!

xp statements like that always make me think about Heavenly Creatures

I'm pretty curious about how Ben's character is going to progress this season actually... even as a master manipulator he still inherently believed in Jacob and "the island" almost as much as Locke. Now that he's been completely schooled in that game (compared to his tit-for-tat with Widmore) and his seemingly genuine remorse for the deaths of Alex and Locke I wonder how they're going to resolve his character, since he's too important now to get unceremoniously killed off.

This seems to be the first time in the whole series where Ben doesn't have any kind of agenda at all. He seems kind of rudderless.

He might still have some bad shit planned for Sayid I suppose.

rudderless ben frustrates me, he's the show's biggest 'waste of a character' imo. though when flocke sent ben out to retrieve richard from the beach, ben still had the old compulsion to lie about everything, so maybe they'll salvage him yet.

Yeah at this point he's completely expendable. Though if the show's about 'redemption' I'd imagine he'd redeem himself by saving somebody before he gets reduced to paste

I like what they're doing to Ben right now, personally. He's just a few hours out from finding out that he's been the biggest tool in Smokey's toolbelt for years -- I figure he's going to get his bearings and go terminator in a couple of episodes, and it's going to be so much more effective after the whiny 9th-grader "you...used me" line to Flocke.

Maybe it's the cover of their forthcoming album of sensitive semi-acoustic ballads?

is that the smoke monster diving down Richard's shirt? yeesh

just watched eps 3 & 4

3 so very rubbish and eye-rolly

4 someone on fbook called it answerfest wtf

sleep pattern fucked as usual so probably gonna end up watching this on justin.tv at 2am again. at least i get to see the ad with tracy jordan and stevie wonder.

ha you get to watch it with US ads. what's that like for you?

his name is tracy morgan btw

ffr

irl

oic

i wouldn't mind the ads as long as it was a great episode. also the omg i am watching us tv live novelty has helped.

fyi to my Canadian comrades it's on A Channel at 7pm & ABC at 9, since Olympics are on CTV..

"He kind of pops up like Obi Wan Kenobi"

Couldn't Jin not really speak English when Claire last saw him? Not that she's in any state of mind/body to notice that

that's the least of this episode's problems tbh

It just occurred to me that

Locke + Smokey = Loki

barf

"oh what's that you stepped on? whoa it's Shannon's inhaler dude"

come the fuck on

the episode synopsis on my cable guide actually referred to him as Locke Monster

really hoping this is leading up to a big B-52s song cue

there goes a nahrwalt

the sappiness of the alt timeline makes me think either (1) that world will come into an apocalypse very soon or (2) it is a world lacking in free will due to the monster being released from the island

can't believe they're just inventing kids to try to make us feel sappy about now

Claire was almost not terrible for a couple moments. Crazy as numb is scarier then crazy as hysterical shrieking obv. It might have been effective if they didn't telegraph everything so badly. lol @ jack being a total ego maniac re: this might answer all our questi-- OH MY GOD MY NAME IS HERE GO TO ME NOW

"the episode synopsis on my cable guide actually referred to him as Locke Monster"

the locke mess monster!

cuz he's kind of a mess. for a monster.

lol at jack-ass choking himself up over the message he left on his son's answering machine.

Lots of allusions to White Rabbit, loved the "key" being under the statue.

whole show starting to feel like a bunch of allusions in lieu of actual content tho

"hey what if we traveled back to dinosaur times and died and these skeletons were us" <--- Hurley's "voice of the audience theory" shtick not cute anymore

jacob is about as useless as jeff probst

Wonder if smokey was going to bring Sawyer to lighthouse, have Ford see "his" church*, them escape somehow that way? Jacob called Jack's overreaction/HULKSMASH?
*I deifinitely saw Korean building in the mirror for a second, and what looked like a church.. Maybe the one Sawyer's parents' funeral was at.

jack is such a fucking tool

the Jack I knew from S1 didn't just go around randomly throwing tantrums and smashing important-looking shit. this is just dopey.

i mean except for Christian's coffin but that wasn't random.

Jack is such a fucking tool
