Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

Richard obviously now thinks it's hell now because he's picked up on being a lapsed Catholic. He went from thinking it was hell to thinking it was purgatory back in ye olde 1800s when Jacob gave him that talk, but the modern Catholic church has been distancing itself from the notion of purgatory, so Richard's new crisis of faith led him back to thinking it was hell.

He obviously is keeping up with Vatican trends on the island.

well, he knew what cyborg zombies were!

he musta learned that in cyborg zombie catechism

i know he's been there a while but i'm not sure richard would have been able to travel to modern day LA so easily. it's like encino man or something.

the education of ricardus

kate's horse joeks on the new podcast (around the 9 minute mark)

i think i'm just gonna give up on the podcast. maybe because i don't like listening to podcasts in general but it really feels like a waste of time to listen to them laugh at themselves and not really give any insight into the show or how they make it

The rules are sort of viewer speculation except all along Christian and ekos brother etc seemed to imply person has to be on the island...like why else write in those bodies being there? I think these areas are where it becomes clear their addiction to making shocking endings and reveals etc means loads of confusion by the end. Eg basically "yeah that was irrelevant" being a fair description for tons of happenings.

Like sayid etc, how does his "possession" differ from dead people? Does anyone think they'll even bother ironing out smokey so he makes some sort of sense...

Only just occurred to me last night but having expected a Jack-Christian confrontation on the island for so long, it's now no longer possible assuming that Christian on-island was always only ever the manifestation of either Smokey (now trapped in Locke form) or Jacob (now dead which presumably prevents him from doing a lot of stuff e.g. appearing as others if he ever did) or both. Just makes explaining the whole deal with Christian ever more pertinent I think.

Is that from Hark, a Vagrant?

Yes!

What these two countries mystical entities could not achieve from years of talking, has been resolved by global warming," said Professor Sugata Hazra.

Anyone wishing to visit now, he observed, would have to think of traveling by submarine.

The thing that bugged me apart from the modern accents was when Hurley was repeating Richard's wifes words to him and then just stopped repeating them and he was somehow able to know what she was saying. Apart from that though, good episode.

Haven't the writers already stated the island is not purgatory?

It confused me but I interpreted it as Hurley was saying everything she says but they just didn't show his talking parts because he wasn't the focus of the scene

i don't think they'd just omit his talking parts, i think hurley actually stopped translating. which confused me too. i got the sense richard had somehow become aware of his wife's presence and what she was communicating to him, because he more or less knew when she was done talking and had gone.

nah it was a representation that through Hurley's translation, Richard was able to talk directly with his wife. i.e. Hurley was saying everything she says but they just didn't show his talking parts because he wasn't the focus of the scene

but yes Richard did become aware enough of her that he could tell when she was gone

so i guess jacob saying "they'll live but you'll never be able to see them again" was a description of hurleyvision, and MIB's "i can let you see them again" was his smoke manifestations.

Right now I'm guessing there will be a third magical force on the island besides Jacob and Flocke, represented by Ghost Christian and the blond kid, and the correct choice will be to follow them. like entering the Atrus book at the end of Myst.

if they moved the goalposts one more time in the last 5 episodes or something i would just...spit on my own carpet, i guess.

I've been rewatching the series in recent weeks w/ the intention of coming back around, full-circle, to this season's goings-on at around the same time that the show concludes. Anyway, I've just settled in to the drudgery of early S3 & am full-on into all the lovey dovey FRACKLES Sawyer/Kate banter & ... *VOMITS LUNG*

"One more thing - You taste like strawberries." "You taste like fish biscuits."

are you gonna watch the jack tattoo episode again? shudder

xp - Otherwise, the S3 water-treading is a lot easier to take when u don't have to wait a full week or more for NOTHING to happen AGAIN.

I just rewatched S3 and totally agree that it was more watchable the second time when you are not dying to know what the fuck is going on.

I skipped the flashback scenes in Jack's Tattoo

Yeah, I'm going to watch them all. I'll be kickin it w/ Bai Ling, Paolo & Niki all too soon.

lol I totally forgot about Locke's narc/wayward youth sidekick

& hippie-terrorist Hank Jennings!

hey guess what guys it is "taco night"

sawyer didn't tell frackles they were on a different island why because he wanted her to believe that they had a damn chance.

BREAKING NEWS: They've finally announced what the last episode will be titles.

SPOILER ALERT:

It's called The End.

L O S T was secretly a Beatles album all along.

Hurley is the walrus.

your only friend

we're exactly halfway through the season now.

so who's the focus tonight? anyone know? guessing Hurley or Sun/Jin.

Jin/Sun. Spoiled myself on this episode. Big ending. And things should really start happening next week if certain theories are true. But we can wait 90 minutes to talk about that.

Can I just say how much I hate the sound of "Amazing Grace" played on a bagpipe.

Good episode though.

don't see how that was a "big ending" tbh -- as the episode came to a close i kinda felt like i had mostly just watched the show spin its wheels, one or two intriguing things aside

Reading the spoilers, Desmond seemed like a big deal, but as it played out it was pretty anticlimactic, sure. Nonetheless, there's been a lot of speculation that Desmond is going to be pretty key, especially with respect to the alt timeline. So if those theories are true, things could start getting interesting next week.

Anyway, I enjoyed this episode. Didn't like last weeks, so don't know what that says about me.

So was Mikhail's eye just a parallel to the other timeline, or is this the same Mikhail? "The John Locke I knew was par--"

also felt the spinning wheels sensation this episode :/ any quick guesses how desmond's ability is 'the key'?

abanana, that's certainly the question we're meant to be asking... i'm not so sure this is an "alt" or "other" timeline after all. but we shall see.

I'm a sucker for Sun and Jin episodes. Also Sawyer's: "No, 'cause THAT would be ridiculous!"

so nothing actually happened this ep, right? did i miss something?
