Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

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?

to trick locke into getting killed by ben and brought back?

i think people are assuming jacob can see everything that will happen which may not be true? like maybe he didn't know sayid would be turned?

if he could see everything then he...

idk, it would be pretty lame neway

xp locke getting killed was part of mib's plan yeah but why exactly ben did it i can't recall atm

ben just hates locke, or he used to. i think that's all.

ben definitely was adamant--"he has to come too" regarding the corpse

ben killed locke once he said that faraday's mom knew how to find the island

iirc

correct. maybe that was all part of MIB's plan though. aka the island wanted it to happen.

right. only moments after stopping locke from killing himself.

MIB was disguised as Alex Linus/Rousseau last season so there's no rule about him having to be someone who died off the island.

OTOH, the rule that he needs their corpse on the island does seem to be true (Yemi, Alex, Christian, Locke).

Oh wait, maybe not even that. He was Ben's mom at some point, I think?

MIB was disguised as Alex Linus/Rousseau last season

wait what

He was Ben's mom at some point, I think?

wait what

head hurts

don't remember him as rousseau ever

yeah pretty sure that hasn't happened

Alex Linus/Rousseau

i.e. her name should be Alex Rousseau but Ben Linus raised her..

wait no, he did appear as alex, that's right---ben went to the temple to be judged. smokey filled the room and then appeared as alex

why is jacob just jacob while smokey-man has to hot-body, as it were?

yeah why doesn't he just walk around as deadwood guy

deadwood guy was just another hot-body

no point walking around as someone nobody recognizes, he uses locke for a reason

but jacob pre-stabbing might have also been able to shapeshift had he any use for it. or else it seems MiB got all the useful skills

aha: it's not that smokey is limited ONLY to people that have died off-island, it's that he is limited ONLY to *corpses* that have made it to the island?

I was gonna say that jacob can go off island and mib can't but jack saw his dad off island
