Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

HOWEVER

i was under the impression smokey was like--"i can get you off this island." not, "i need you to help me try and fly a crashed plane off this island."

I assume Widmore is still on the sub b/c he is not allowed/able to go back on the island.

rollin my eyes at this whole episode, iirc, it was just so wince-y

my favorite typical lost "what is wrong with these people" moment was how after kate nearly gets her throat slit her next reaction isn't to turn to her old buddy Sayid who just hung back and popped some popcorn and go "thanks for nothing WHAT THE FUCK DUDE!"

best episode so far this season tho, between this and last week i am feeling much better about the show only kind of pissing me off by the end

i think it was apparent that sayid is not being his usual jovial self

Flocke: "i can get you off this island....by going to THAT island. GATCHAAA"

I couldn't hear Claire's reply when Kate was like "wtf is your dead dog baby thing?".

"That's moy Skele-Tubbie."

So in the sideways timeline Miles's dad is alive and in LA, but he was at the construction site during The Incident, so I think that pretty much conclusively states that the bomb didn't sink the island immediately or kill many people in its immediate vicinity. Also, it suggests to me that Miles and his mom didn't leave the island immediately, and nor did Charlotte, or else how would they know each other? They met on the freighter as far as I know. I guess the alternative is just that the timeline is wacky and coincidental, but that sure would be unsatisfying.

Also, do Dr. Ben Linus, Nice Ethan, and Sexy Charlotte know each other in LA? They were all children on the island at the same time, though not exactly peers. There couldn't have been so many children on the island that they wouldn't know each other.

LA apparently the center of the universe

love how Tina Fey was just barraging Swayer with the right questions to ask, unlike the main characters ever.

she was hot

FYI dudes every woman with brown hair and glasses is not Tina Fey

Fliz Lemon was about to say her boyfriend in Guam was Astronaut Mike Dexter.

did anyone ever tell ben that juliet died?

he might like to know that considering he loved her beautiful blond ass too

I wonder if Ben is a virgin.

my wife thinks aaron is locked up on the submarine

did anyone ever tell ben that juliet died?

ha never considered that.

erm...okay first observation, a plane is seemingly impossible to fly for a total novice but a sub is obv just like riding a bike

fake locke: "i am the black smoke"

sawyer: "i have nothing to say in response to this."

kinda love that Sawyer has completely stopped giving a shit about the crazy magic of the island and just accepts it at face value now

fake locke: "please row over to the hydra station by yourself"

sawyer: sure thing, boss"

he seems pretty honest and staightforward with everyone

(flocke)

yeah he is...i see him as an ideal father figure.

oh yeah another eye-rolling thing from this ep. was Sawyer lovingly fondling Kate's dress in the polar bear cage. you just left Kate five minutes ago dude!

was hoping he'd grab a fishbiscuit for old times sake though

Claire sure did pile up a a lotta garbage.

what i don't get is where ben vs widmore is going to fit into widmore vs smokey. prob another made it up as they went along moment. i am enjoying this series but pretty sure it's going to reveal a huge amount of needless made for shock value endings, moments, reveals etc all through the show, which shames the writers a lot.

if it really is the character based show they claim it is they wouldn't need to have fucked around with the audience via the plot non stop since the very beginning.

x-post otm, left her without barely saying hi.

he seems pretty honest and staightforward with everyone

after six seasons, this is the ULTIMATE CON!

it's a "re-con"

is there a suggestion smokey killed all those people on the hydra island?

Doesn't really seem like his style.

what has he done to you???

He's never done a mass-killing prior to the Temple thing, to my knowledge. Meanwhile, The Others gassed the Dharma people and dug them a mass grave.

what i don't get is where ben vs widmore is going to fit into widmore vs smokey.

Haven't we been led to believe that Ben never really spoke to Jacob and was making shit up the whole time? I think Widmore talked to Jacob (or at least Smokey) when he was on the island and that was part of why he was forced out -- he was legit, but Ben convinced everyone he wasn't.

Whether that means Chuckles Widmore is working with Jacob or on his own sort of thing is yet to be seen.

FWIW I think it's completely possible Ben was working for Smokey and never knew the difference.

I'm rewatching S3 right now. It seems pretty clear to me that Ben is just making it up as he goes along. The Others are ready to kill Juliet and Ben lets her go, saying "the rules don't apply".

I thought it was pretty weird that Smokey called Sawyer the best liar he's ever met on an island that also includes Ben among its peoples. Also, Sawyer isn't good at lying at all.

I actually really enjoyed this because it felt a lot like Season 4, good to see getting off the island being something the normal characters actually give a shit about.

Sawyer knows exactly how to pilot a sub. You stand there and point a gun at the dude who controls it and shout "DRIVE!"

Also the plane didn't crash, Lapidus landed it. Not that anyone could get that thing off the ground without a runway.

Charlotte and Miles' relationship to each other doesn't necessarily reveal much about what happened when the bomb went off - they could have been on the sub with young Ben when it left.

Still, Sawyer tracking down Locke's dad to kill him is the biggest clue yet as to where the alt-timeline stuff is heading. I give it another two or three episodes before the characters all end up in the same place, then something big is going to happen.

what i don't get is where ben vs widmore is going to fit into widmore vs smokey. prob another made it up as they went along moment

My guess will be that Widmore sussed ages ago that Ben was working to Smokey's agenda without realising it. It would explain why he went to such effort to kill him.

dudes every woman with brown hair and glasses is not Tina Fey

Oh yeah, prove it!

swayer never actually saw the smokemonster right? only him and sun haven't i think, tho sun probably did in the temple

dudes every woman with brown hair and glasses is not Tina Fey

"they are. we looked into it and they are."

gotdam, rebecca mader, homegirl (literally tho), gotdam

still waiting for an episode where someone does something of their own accord rather than because Jacob or Smocke says "oh btw go here, now go here"

Some mental posts upthread. Hello sawyer already killed locke's dad on the island as already he was responsible for sawyer's parents dying.
