Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

maybe he can't cuz Sayid is a candidate

see also getting Jack to give the poison pill

It's against the rules ... of baseball!

There's no crying murder in baseball!

The baseball reminded him of the flashback episode he might have gotten if he'd been introduced three seasons ago.

This was highly entertaining but basically bollocks, although I really have no idea where they're going with this at all now.

But yeah, all out war will make things fun. Pretty sure Smokey isn't getting Kate any time soon, although he might get Jack. No way in hell is he getting Hurley. Hurley will save them all.

Getting impatient for the Richard and Ilana episodes now though.

people starting to like this season

guessing that this missing Jin business is setting up for a Jin/Sun on opposite teams ish.

esp since he's a mean bad gangster, etc. guess, tho, is that if they DO set up the opposition and fail to resolve it (ie - one of them ends up being on the losing/bad team), it'll be Sun who's revealed to bo the truly nasty one (cf what she did with her time away).

like, while they were gone:

Kate---acted right, raised a kid
Jack---went crazy??? was an alcoholic???
Sayid---killed all of this dudes
Hurley---went crazy??? talked to dead people??? still decent, tho.
Sun---GANGSTA
Aaron---pooped his pants

well ok, this was the best ep so far. glad they killed off the new characters. hope the alt.timeline story adds up to something.

who were all those people with locke at the end?

temple turncoats. I don't really get what they initially believed

Maybe for Smokey to leave the island he has to kill everything on it

Wondering about this too ... evidently the island was in a stalemate for a long time; Jacob living kept MIB in check, Dogen kept MIB out of the Temple. With them out of the way, MIB has free reign over the island. But he still can't leave it, and he evidently needs other people to leave. Otherwise he could indeed kill every living person on the island and thus free himself. And raising an army to oppose Jacob's army seems pointless since MIB could defeat any group that isn't protected in some magical way.

The mortal fear of everyone who knows of MIB is that he will kill anyone who opposes him - but what does it mean to join him? What's the point of your being in the group to MIB, beyond your own survival?

here's the thing about all that:

What if Smokey's presence is the only thing keeping the island afloat, and that's what they mean when they say everyone is going to die? Was joking when I started typing this, but it is Lost..

"temple turncoats. I don't really get what they initially believed"

i thought cindy was pretty cold when she explained to lennon why she and that group of people had to leave, all turning her back on the temple without a second thought. though it does make a little sense, given that her character seems to live through everything...

Yeah, I'd be interested to know why Cindy was so "with" the Others throughout. I guess she had the kids to look after, but I'd like to know what stories the Others had told her.

Also:

Apparently Claire folding clothes falls under the category of "iconic"

i still don't really get who these Others are. what happened to that Other who was an old woman from like, season 2? Miss whatsit?

like, are these Others Batmanuel's others, or some other others? They aren't dharma others.

If you're thinking of Miss Klugh, she was killed in S3 when Locke, Sayid and Kate found the house with the radar station with Mikhail and the chess computer. These are all the same Others group since the first season, since we saw Cindy and the kids that got kidnapped from the tail section.

Where does the Sheriff fit in?

One of a zillion Others wiped out at the end of Season 3 without a bit of notice. Shocked that Mac made it back!

this episode certainly kicked things off in the right direction. would like to know exactly what the black smoke showed kate to make her switch teams that fast

The black smoke didn't do anything to Kate, she followed on to see what was going on because that's what Kate does.

My guess would be that it doesn't have proper control of Jin and Sawyer either, and that you probably need to have died/nearly died for it to do its thing.

i don't think it showed her anything? she was just following claire

yeah srsly not sure where everyone is getting this 'kate switched sides' business

miles saying claire was "still hot" was a horribly formed "joke"

To be fair to Miles, he probably realises his limitations and is aiming at the right level. She went for Charlie after all.

Miles knows his type: he finds them crazy, and leaves them crazy or dead.

I thought claire was already gone when miles showed up on this show but I must be misremembering.

i was thinkng the same thing

Yeah, same... don't remember them ever meeting.

Claire was with Miles and Sawyer after Keamey's attack on New Otherton, before she walked off into the woods with Ghost Christian.

Oh yeah, duh. Right.

Totally forgot about that whole bit where he's staring at her like she's half-dead

we have no idea how she got "infected" right?

we do! she went off with christian. they were in the cabin together at the end of s4.

why does smokey choose to appear as people everyone knows are dead?

also didn't locke speak to christian? he didn't get infected iirc?

i don't think speaking is what infects, or else dogen wouldn't have warned sayid, he's already infected

i don't think speaking is what infects

that's true. he spoke to ben et al too.

"why does smokey choose to appear as people everyone knows are dead?"

he can only inhabit dead bodies, right?

he's not in locke's body

he can only inhabit the likeness of a dead body on the island that died off the island

jacob's whole scheme is f'in retarded. let's bring locke back to life after he was pushed out of a window so he can die later, and become the vessel for the smoke monster to kill me?

who fuckin devised these rules??!!

not me, but that is apparently the case, no?

plenty of people have died on-island. christian and locke were the only ones who died off-island.

yeah, not disputing it. jackweed writers devised them.

xxxps i just thought kate had that devoted cult-ish look as the rest of them towards the end, figured she had one of those looks into the island ala locke ("and it was beautiful")

though jacob's plan was to bring in locke cause he was a "candidate". the problem was MiB at the same time figuring out he could use christian to trick locke into thinking he was some kind of great leader before jacob got a chance to... right?
