Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=vLhfxI8T2cU

DUDE JUST LET US ENJOY THIS EPISODE

I'm feeling you on the only 7 hours left point. So much wasted potential this season, when I'm just imagining how awesome this season could've been if they had gone with this sooner. But shit, episodes like this are why I started watching in the first place. Just the right balance of action and intrigue, with characters I like with comprehensible motivations.

Charles and Eloise certainly have knowledge of both time lines and are pushing for the timeline in which Daniel is alive? Selfish.

lol, but in fairness, original timeline whidmore seems to be pushing to preserve the original timeline. So maybe not selfish so much as just having a completely different perspective in this timeline.

"What do you know about X?!" is the new "That's not important right now" [as in 'what do you know about sacrifice/realistic/etc'].

Eloise & Desmond awesome. I felt like Faraday suddenly having and telling all this knowledge was a slight acknowledgement of 'shit we only have 7 eps left'. I guess it's confirming the bleeding timelines/ only Desmond knows both timelines kind of direction although it's taken its damn time getting here.

this episode ruled, sorry haters

Eloise is definitely a timelord.

jj otm this was wack... important, but wack

NOT PENNY'S BOAT gave me chills

if dudes don't wanna ride five and a half seasons in either
a. ur slow shoulda gtfo this thread a while ago
b. ur right it isn't as good but damn don't u feel boring, why not just enjoy it

xp I dunno, I was quite impressed that they hadn't done anything that obvious up til now. Still I think Desmond gets a free pass for that kind of thing, so I'll let them off.

yeah no this was the best episode of the season by a substantial margin.

man i dont even know what to say, i think maybe i dig this show for some pretty different reasons than you guys, none of which were fulfilled w/this ep

Loved this episode

i mean if you're watching strictly for answers and not to be entertained by giant electromagnetic coils inducing timeline jumping, then i guess it's a pretty shitty episode.

i thought desmond waking up on the island and knowing what is going on was amazing.

yss this was great--i wish ALL the characters on this show would be like desmond post-electric and just do what other ppl tell them without putting up a fight

i feel like we got a decent amount of answers AND moved the show toward the conclusion too, so im not sure what the answer brigade is complaining about

mister jim otm so nice to see understandable character motivation for once in this dam shows life

great episode, this is the kind of mindfuckery I wish they had been indulging in all season

Only bad part of ep was return of Charlie who frankly I was hoping would just die again.

naw even he was good

I hate his teeth.

racist

forgot to mention how much i love fisher stevens

had Fisher Stevens been on before, as a different character? I couldn't remember.

was he ... Indian?

He was Minkowski, the freighter's radio operator.

was he ... Indian?

He played the Oscar-winning producer of an agitprop documentary.

don't need answers... do need a story that's more than "at the behest of others, character of the week goes here, then goes here"

doesn't seem so much to ask, really

if thats how you feel you might want to... not watch lost

I want to know what coffee shop exists at the corner of Melrose and Sweetzer in the alt. timeline, because in this timeline it's Ashton Kutcher's reaturant "Dolce" and the Penny that I fell in love with wouldn't want to meet for coffee there

thats what Desmond has to tell the other passengers, that in this timeline Ashton Kutcher exists :( great episode, I would put it 2nd next to slaughter at the temple

lol as soon as she said it i'm like "she's totally blowing him off"

haha, yeah

I could see Penny going with Sweet Lady Jane (Melrose/Orlando), but it's not really a coffee shop. Urth Caffe's two blocks from Melrose and La Cienega and that would be just her speed, but how anyone gets there in an hour from Aloha Stadium is a whole other thing.

You guys realize that no one outside of LA cares about geographical accuracy, right?

I grew up in Huntsville, AL where Space Camp is, where they set and shot the film Space Camp, and in the film they just sneak out and go to the Space Shuttle at Cape Canaveral. That's a 14 hour drive.

there are people outside of LA?

(btw i'm in sf)

This is prime podcast question material.

only point rilly is why bother bring so specific if you're also going to be specifically rong? i guess that keeps a horde of crazy losties from descending upon some unsuspecting real-life coffee shop. lord knows Urth's busy enough already.

The fact that it's an ALTERNATE REALITY isn't a sufficient explanation?

Or maybe Geisha Nails across the street serves coffee.

it's weird enough that Kate took Claire from LAX to some hospital in Hawaii

regarding subjective opinions on the final season and this last episode:

i mean if you're watching strictly for answers... -Cutty

I think the series ending will leave you thinking about a couple different possible scenarios (maybe 2 different answers to a big question)

but yeah, lots of the biq questions will be answered. I'm sure we'll find out what would happen if flocke could or does escape from the island. I bet there will be a couple holes in Jacob and Flocke's background story

erm is "subjective opinion" a reiteration or is there such thing as objective or non-subjective opinions?
