Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

But didn't Jack save Charlie's life? Would have thought he'd remember that.

How come Kate's world is basically the same in both timelines.

she is the balance point, where the scale tips.

In the original timeline it's really doubtful she would've done all that stuff with Claire... also (they really should've mentioned this) she didn't actually kill her father but some random dude accidentally. But yeah, basically she's the same person - but that's arguably true for everybody, just certain circumstances/events or specific pivotal choices changed their lives.

hm... this could mean something!

I just meant that her life is pretty much the same ... still wanted for murder, still on the run. Almost everyone else seems to have gotten something positive out of the world, but hers arguably is worse because her stepdad is still alive, possibly.

She's cool with Claire in the alt; in island time Claire wants to shiv her bad.

I don't know if Sun would call getting shot in her pregnant belly after her father tried to have her secret boyfriend killed "positive."

I forget, why is bad dad cool with Jin marrying her in the orig. timeline, but not in the alt?

claire such a fucken awful actor

About Kate - but remember her "stepdad" turned out to be real dad after all, and thus her relationship with her mother is probably not as horrible, overall it's still better than the regular timeline. What is Kate's ideal world, though? Does she really want to have a life of thrilling adventure and constant escape?

As for Jin - we don't know how they met in the alt, but apparently Jin worked as Sun's bodyguard and then hooked up, as opposed to their random meet in the regular timeline. Also in the alt, Sun's father figured out that Sun secretly saved money and was planning to run away with him (even though Jin didn't know this), which surely was a factor as well.

unfair imo xp

did you see desmond talking to her at the airport

claire such a fucken awful actor

yep

who'd be better as claire? naomi watts?

i don't get that kind of criticism, as if this show would be the same or better without "MOY BAYBEEEEEE!" it's part of the inherent sell

I think sun's dad should have been played by ian mcshane, but i have no beef with claire.

just realized: Jacob summoning the storm on the Black Rock to make it hit the island is exactly what Prospero does at the beginning of The Tempest.

^^i thought this too!

iirc "it's the island from The Tempest" has been bandied about at some point or another

WTF at that Richard gif, oh my god. People on the bus looked at me funny for laughing aloud!

what the hell is in his crotch

wow didn't even think about The Tempest...

did you guys see the willy wonka themed ad for next week's episode? they've really been on fire with those lately.

liked michael showing hurley the ocean view of the other island, reminded me of christian showing jack the water in the very first season.

That "Next Week on Lost" thing was buck-ass wild, for sure.

Jorge Garcia is just about the worst actor in a major tv series ever. Good thing his character is lovable and cuddly.

xpost srsly!

yeah that thing was hilarious. at this rate the ad for the finale is gonna be the Rocky Horror soundtrack or something.

first scene w/ Hurley at the grave got me kinda choked up tbh.

LIBBY!!! I have waited years!
Jack is now going to operate on alt-Locke aye?
Fun parallel of Desmond and Locke hurting each other.
Does Desmond turn the wheel or does Vincent save him, Lassie style?

Also, I think Hurley found Adam & Eve's stones at the campsite..

Fun parallel of Desmond and Locke hurting each other.

Best part of the whole episode.

i hope they keep utilizing the flash sideways for more opportunities at crazy sudden violence n shit

desmond to hurley: go with your gut

yeah awesome WTF ending haha

i wish there was more Libby backstory from the real universe, but still I was definitely happy to see her get an episode, even in the sideways universe

oh cool they "explained" the whispers

boom ilana, bye

never get sick of those jaw dropping random deaths

great episode and so glad they knocked off ilana. also dug hurley's hair really gettin nappy as he asserted himself. iron like a lion.

Jack is now going to operate on alt-Locke aye?

ooh good call

Maybe they will kiss and flashback to their secret perfect love.

lol @ this show for establishing that richard and jack don't get blown up by dynamite due to ~fate~, then sending ilana to get it because idk they were tired or something.

Poor hot dead Ilana. :(

good ep altho the whole true love angle is retarded. also people who die on the island end up in......... purgatory!

So probably wheelchair Locke's near death exp. provoked either Island memories or allowed Smokey to slip into him.

When Jack's about to operate on him he'll start shouting "Why do you find it so hard to believe!"

Uh, so let's see--Sawyer & Miles will arrest Desmond, maybe after interviewing Hugo. Des will help awaken Sawyer's luv-memories of Juliet. And then, uh, more stuff happens.

The whisper explanation was kind of funny. Almost like a bone tossed to all the "I want answers!" people. Hurley should walk around saying stuff like, "So that's why the Others were doing all that fertility stuff," or "So that's why those Dharma drops are still happening."

des smugly driving away from hugo & libby was out of some cheesy 80s anthology show

Why does Des have to go through this whole circuitous approach to get people to remember their alt-selves? I know people probably wouldn't believe him if he directly told them what was happening, but it feels more plausible than hanging around Mr. Cluck's in the hopes that Hurley needs your advice about a woman who thinks she knows him from somewhere.

there were at least two shade-tippin' scenes by Desmond last night

ilana blowing herself up made me LOL out of surprise

speaking of LOLing, I turned on the TV a few minutes early last night and so saw the very end of Dancing With the Stars, and the couple who were kicked off were slow-dancing for their "farewell dance" and then all of a sudden the music picked up and turned into a really bad Broadway-style version of "We're Not Gonna Take It" and the guy started doing a very awkward faster dance with lots of arm flailing and boogying and for some reason this struck me as hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing. I was trying to stop because LOST was starting and I didn't want to miss anything but every time I thought of the stupid song and the dude's terrible impromptu dance I started laughing again, until I was crying.

I saw that, too, and thought it was weird, but mostly because "Broadway-style version of 'We're Not Gonna Take It'" also sums up Jimmy Fallon's Glee parody (ft. the cast of Parks and Recreation) from a couple months ago.
