Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

/I wonder if it's supposed to take place after the on-Island stuff, except none of them can remember the Island. /

i said this upthread--i believe alternate timeline is what takes place after the finale, not as a direct result of the bomb being set off
--shite new answers (cutty)

yeah i've been thinking the same thing

or maybe it's not what DOES happen after the island, it's what COULD happen after the island and the existence of this alternate reality will be revealed to everyone by either jacob or smokey and then they'll have to CHOOSE

Maybe it takes place after they die, if Juliet could see it in her death throes?

jack has no idea what is going on!

haven't they been dropping a ton of clues that Jack's the one person in the flash-sideways who knows what's up, or at least kind of entered that reality from somewhere else and is kind of out of wack?

Alt-Claire pulled her baybee name from the LOST ether.

there was that 'moment' between jack and frackles at the airport in the alterna timeline, wasn't there? like a look of deja vu or something?

deja fu

also Jack looking confused/dazed in the plane and generally not acting like he did in the Season 1 version of the same scene, and him having to ask his mom when he got his appendix scar, etc.

Also I think Locke kind of noticed something was up when Ben had his back dramatically posed to him before revealing himself, like maybe this was going to be a guy he's seen before.

i really don't see how it could be after the finale...like as i said, why would so many things have reset to pre-plane crash if it was a later date. what would be the point in after the finale being so set up as before the finale? they'd have to go "oh btw this is after" and explanations would be really dumb (not that they are beyond this)

yeah i dunno, i think it could work out that way somehow...all i know is that the flash-sidewayseses better be just the structure of the first handful of episodes like the time jumps last season, gonna be a fucking drag if they do these for the whole season and finally explain them in the finale when we all wanna hear about other/older mysteries.

Yeah the flash sideways needs to go somewhere soon or I'm gonna flip.

Don't think they're gonna take it that far - we just passed the 1/3rd mark for the season, and it seems like they're more aggressively tying the flashes together (though I wonder, if it's going to be a Ben flash, how Sayid and Jin will be involved or if that will just be put on hold).

Still waiting for the Arntz flash. poor guy gets no screen time.

this is where i'm at

I purposely didn't hook up for olympics bc I was pretty busy and knew I wld become addicted no joke. Yet still regret...

island ref!!!

shit just got real

real genius reunion

totally

jesus i forgot about all this commercials

Was just thinking same thing

And how creepy that lighthouse mirror scene was - creeped out even hearing Jack talk abt it

oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiit

The whole time I was thinking "If Ben Linus buys it before either Jack or Kate (or both of them together) get brutally murdered, I'm going to break my television."

just wish he woulda killed that pointless chick.

for a moment in his flash forward i thought he killed principal 'no dick'

Though it may be obvious already, I dug the connection (also back to Michael's return and death) that none of the chosen can kill themselves once they've been touched by Jacob - the same way Locke had to be killed by Ben, his self-hanging would've inevitably failed.

AFTER ALL THIS TIME ALL I KNOW IS THIS: in my ideal flash sideways world, Ana Lucia and Ilana become very VERY good friends.

Random thoughts:
The return to the season one musical montage felt really nice. I like that everyone returned to the beach like that.

Miles' oops or uh oh was pretty funny. And the comment about eight million dollars' worth of diamonds..finally Nikki & Paolo served a purpose.

The Jack/Richard scene was pretty intense-nice to see validation Rich did come from the Black Rock. Wish Jack wouldve demanded a few more answers but it is pretty common for this frstrating show.

Widmore's arrival might give Sun something to do again! That's exciting. Every episode my friends & I do the countdown to the "have you seen my husband" interjection.

Nice to see Alex again. I guess Rousseau works two jobs because the actress asked to be written off?

None of the candidates can kill them I assume? I wonder how that ties into all of Michael's suicide attempts?

Ahh Nhex didn't see your post about Michael. On the boat we saw Christian who seems to be bros with Smokey..but it was Friendly who told Michael the island wasn't done with him. We're going to need an official Lost bible to sort this all out after show ends.

The whole "Jacob touch" rule is also kind of a convenient idea for why just about everybody who was on 815 from the start of the show is dead now.

It wasn't Tania Raymond (Alex) who wanted to get written off the show, it was the mother, Danielle (Mira Furlan) - it seems like Alex's death was written to complete Ben's arc that season.

Good pt. about Smokey/Michael though - it seems like Michael was working indirectly for the Jacob/Others faction. Both Christian and Libby popped up as ghosts on the freighter though, supporting what he did. Unless Smokey ALSO hated Widmore! This could be a development coming soon...

Don't think we'll get a consistent explanation for this, honestly. But I always loved that whole bit about Michael not being able to kill himself, and seeing that idea returning.

I worded it poorly but I was implying that Mira Furlan's character "works two jobs" & thus we probably won't see her on screen (because she wanted off the show).

best episode of the season yet

yet another question i doubt they will answer: Why did they say Sayid had to take the pill by his own free will, when as a candidate he would not have been able to kill himself?

But jack needed to give it to him

so glad that promo last week was fronting, Michael Emerson is the fucking man

During the replay of last week's episode (with the little pop-ups that fill you in on what's what), there was another instance of the annotations telling the story that the episode forgot to tell. It said that Dogen did not kill Sayid during their fight because doing so would have caused his "scale," so to speak, to tip towards evil. Much like Sayid's, etc.. Wasn't because of the baseball as much as because the baseball reminded him of Jacob, good/evil, and so forth.

I think that herein lies the answer, re: Jack needing to give Sayid the pill (which he was told was medicine), who would take it willingly (as medicine). I think that this also sheds a lot of light on the ridiculous lengths to which the Others, or at least the higher-ups, have gone to get other people to do their dirty work for them. I think that this is a pretty silly explanation, but there it is. I think that's that.

plenty of silly shit tonight ("it's this way... no, i'm pretty sure it's this way... NAY, IT IS THIS WAY") but def best ep so far why because good job Michael Emerson

so where the hell is Jin? holed up in Claire's tent with a bum leg I guess.

is Smokey taking them to Hydra Island cuz he knows Widmore is destroying the main one?

loved the whole Elba analogy

Is it because I've been watching seasons 1 thru 3 without commericals or are the new episodes shorter, the commericals longer?

it's funny how Alpert handily won my LOST character who you are most anxious to find out what the hell their deal is in season six poll and now just a few weeks later it feels like we pretty much know all we need to know about him and that's that what else now

his story is so empty i thought he might actually get blown up tonight.

when is someone going to do a mash up featuring claire yelling about her baby and michael yelling about walt?

really, really loved sideways Ben having to work with Arzt of all people to see his scheme through.
