Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

xxxp

Actually the easiest Wallace is Mel Gibson in Braveheart--but fuck that Nazi.

why do some of you people even watch the show? I think some of you are going to be heavily disappointed no matter what happens.

^^^this!

agreed

we got suckered in with some sci-fi

This is some exciting news, actually. It may be proof that Jacob is right. People don't always have to fight, corrupt, and destroy.

Actually, I've been thinking that the alt reality has been showing how much happier and better adjusted these people are in a universe where Jacob isn't interfering with their lives.

Anyway a thought I had about this show while discussing it with some friends today. The problem is that ever since the Jacob and Smokey feud was introduced there has been nothing for me to be invested in. I mean the actual feud itself, I know nothing about and have no investment in. And any "stakes" involving the other characters and their lives and disagreements has been rendered irrelevant by this feud so I just have no investment in anything that's going on with this show any more. I literally just watch the show thinking "well let's see where they go with this. Hopefully somewhere good."

But I really don't care what happens, and at this point I honestly have no reason to. There's no outcome to root for, if you will.

I don't think the presence of those 2 characters/entities really changes all that much -- there's been big ambiguous conflicts, mostly Ben and Widmore, guiding the show for a long time, and like that one this one is ultimately about the same thing (what the island is/does/"means").

Also knowing that Locke isn't Locke makes me not care about Locke, who is about 90% of the show for me.

I get the feeling that there's more to that than they've let on, though - throwing out that "Don't tell me what I can't do!" line seemed very deliberate.

i've always thought that lost posits its big conflicts primarily as binaries (black/white, jack/locke, jacob/smokey, ben/widmore, science/faith, dharma/hippies) and now i'm getting the sinking feeling that the resolution of the show is ultimately going to be the banal "it's all grey." -_-

becoz we've put in the man-hours and want to see it resolved. same as you.

show feels so empty now. they only have about five characters per ep. all of them following jacob's plan or something.

there are four bands playing a basement show tonight at my record store and one of the guys in one of the bands has another group that is a LOST-themed group called PREVIOUSLY ON LOST. good idea!

That guy being Jacob is why I'm over the whole Jacob thing. I liked him better as a spooky cabin ghost.

ya. is it a zardoz thing? like, the guy behind the curtain is a massive doucher?

yeah they should've had Rob Kyker keep playing Jacob, dude is appropriately creepy-looking

I liked him better as a spooky cabin ghost.

i thought jacob was never spooky cabin ghost, it was christian, ie, smokey?

Jacob does look a bit rubbish.

My dearest wish right now for this series is for more Widmore dudes to turn up and start laying waste to the place. It could do with a bit of menace.

in alt-world i doubt widmore cares about the island. penny and desmond are probably married too.

x-post I thought Jacob's "What about you?" line reading was awesome though.

I had to chuckle when he showed up as the idiot hitman in Mulholland Drive

he was also the ex-husband of dexter's woman

I forgot about that one!

what about guy who shoves the dude's head into toilet at the beginning of the big lebowski

Is there a number in the lighthouse labelled "Dude"?

i think my 2nd favorite line of this season is jacob's 'some people you can get in the back of a cab with and tell them what they need to do, others you have to let stare out at the ocean for awhile'. my 1st fav is lapidus' 'i'm seeing it, but i ain't believing it'.

haha, just for frank lines, i would've picked "weirdest damn funeral i ever been to"

ha that was great

Just thinking that by being a candidate, and by not being on the plane when he was supposed to be, Lapidus must have unconsciously cheated Jacob in some way. You'd think Jacob would have had the foresight to have made him not an alcoholic.

love lapidus.

he was also the ex-husband of dexter's woman

lolll

mite wanna check out 'imma christian' too

so I noticed that the Church of $cientology has purchased some adspace on the lostpedia site. I wonder how the returns are on their investment? lol Lost fans lookin for *answers*

lol the next episode is actually called Sundown.
S1 E06 was House of the Rising Sun. It's like some kind of "mirror" "image".

if they kill sun it'll be worth it

take that back

RE:LAX, the ep's about Gordon Lightfoot.

they wouldn't kill sun tho, both sun and jin have been surprisingly low-key so far about wanting to see their missing spouse that they've separated from for three years. surely the show won't kill either of them until they've extracted the sweet sweet melodrama out of that storyline?

Disappointed that no one has cited the weirdly sequenced copy of Raw Power on Lostpedia.

haha yeah on the subtitled repeat episode last week it was like "this is the smoke monster's point of view... this is the house Sawyer lived in... the song that is playing is "Search And Destroy" by Iggy And The Stooges" and I was hoping to see "this is the special Dharma version of the LP" but no luck.

Why not make an edit?

"surely the show won't kill either of them until they've extracted the sweet sweet melodrama out of that storyline?"

what's more melodramatic than encountering a dead spouse then raising your arms to the heavens howling like wolverine? or cricket bat rampage?

oh, yay, it's lost tonight

let's hope the temple was season 6's craphole island and we get some good episodes now.
