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?

^ I knew that was Daniel the moment I saw him.

faraday is rockin that hat like he's gonna do some moonwalker flying guillotine magic with it later

How come Faraday has two British parents and one American accent.

ALTERNATE

UNIVERSE

This show is good at creating wtf moments. Based on the last two seasons, it's not so great at demystifying those moments, imo. I think the collective demand for answers by the fans over the years, and the producers subsequent catering to that demand, have been huge mistakes. I really don't want any answers. I'm completely comfortable without them. And I know how outlandish that probably sounds to some. I know this is an extreme minority opinion. But all I really want to do is revel in wtf-ness. That's all I want from this show. Give me something I can never figure out.

I. WANT. ANSWERS! You, sir, sound outlandish, and are in the minority.

My favourite moment was when Widmore told Desmond soz, yr back on the island. Des's face made the exact same expression mine has been doing at most of the episodes this season.

worst moment - You felt.....LOVE

I really thought Charlie was going to profess his engagement to heroin -- he loved it so much he was going to marry it -- Lost writers you fooled me again!

How come Faraday has two British parents and one American accent.

Who knows how long they've lived in LA, they could have lived there since he was little.

I'm really surprised how steadfastly Ozzy Osbourne's kids have refused to assimilate, accent-wise.

Not to draw parallels between Ozzy/Widmore, Sharon/Eloise

ALTERNATE

UNIVERSE

It isn't an alternate universe, exactly. It's a wish-fulfillment universe.

"I reallllllly wish I could get coffee across the street from Ashton's restaurant." BAM. Wish fulfilled.

so if Charlie and Desmond and Faraday all got LUVFLASHES whenever they met their gals in the flash-sideways, does that mean Sawyer and/or Jack felt the same kinda ish when running into Kate and we just weren't shown it or what?

Sawyer's main squeeze was Juliet, right (who was mumbling alt-world visions presumably while on death-throes)? DId Jack run into Kate?

i thought he maybe at least saw her on the plane/in the airport? i dunno it's been awhile since i watched that first episode.

Miles should've had a few "yo i feel like that chick totally gave me a boner...in another reality" moments

Actually wouldn't Jack see Christian going "good job, son" in his soma-vision rather than Kate?

i didnt even get into this when complaining above, but this whole twee true love peels back the verneer of altverse bullshit is totally unsatisfying to me and makes me v v worried about some big romanto-jack/kate/sawyer fucking timewaster still to come, which is the other reason i thought this ep was shit.

"we all got what we thought we wanted but what we really always want was hugs and cuddles and kissyface" arrgrgrgrgggghhh

Be fair: that's all Desmond has consistently wanted. That and some bitchen Scotch.

this episode ruled, sorry haters

OTM

many things i loved about this:

- finally we know they are actually going something with the alternate timeline!
- desmond is jumping between the two timelines! when he came back to the island that was cool but when he jumped BACK that was amazing - this is going to allow interaction between the two worlds
- was pleased that daniel returned..he is kind of awful but i've always enjoyed the storylines involving him
- elouise was only moderately cringe
- penny + desmond :D :D the only time lost has ever ever managed to do romance despite so many bad attempts

going something = doing something / going somewhere

It's still not clear to me why any of these characters would not prefer the alt-reality to the island one. Like even in the alt, Desmond meets Penny, presumably falls in love, gets married, has a kid. Charlie and Faraday can do the same. What advantage lies in the island reality?

Desmond can do all of those things.
