Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

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

I'm envisioning an 80s-era rom-com movie poster w/ shade-tippin Des in the seated in his car in the foreground w/ Hugo & Libby sitting on a park bench or something in the background - Hugo w/ a "don't look at me" expression & Libby w/ a knowing smile that says "that's so Hugo."

I'm thinking they made Ilana's character extra-obnoxious in the opening scenes, just so that her sudden demise would be that much more satisfying & hilarious.

she was really bangin her handbag around just after hurl made sure to remind us how unstable the dynamite was - was expecting it. not as obvious as so many surprises tho and did quite enjoyed it

but GO WITH YOUR GUT!

Jack has seen Christian on the island and off the island.

Actually, I bet we'll see Christian in the next episode since everything seems set up for it to be a Jack-heavy episode.

What is with all the little woodsy children wandering around the island, smirking at people.

a technique they perfected with frogurt.

i'm imagining the lost guys informing desmond's actor at the beginning of season five, "so, you're going to be sitting out the next season and a half. but don't worry - when you come back, you make the show awesome again."

I think cutty means Jack has never had a proper meeting with Christian, which to my memory is true. Christian spoke to him once off island, but never on island.

was the kid last night different from the kid we'd seen before?

same kid, tho he looked a little older?

i would have rather had no explanation for the ghost whispers than the weak shit we got

I got the feeling he was thinking "DOH DOH DUH DUH I'M JACK DUH DUH DUUUH"

LOL

xp OTFM - liked this ep, but that was some bs

like it should be pretty obv when dead Mike emerges from the whispers & swirling breeze that we're dealing w/ some island ghosts, but then to have Hugo actually say the words "oh, so that's what the whispers are" ...

Why is ghost Michael bleeding? Did he get into a punchout with ghost Ana Lucia?

hurley's gut told him what the whispers were

yeah he might as well donned a visor, pulled out a pen and a clipboard with "questions to answer in season 6 checklist", and been like "and check!"

yeah i definitely cringed when they did that, but unfortunately there is that WE DEMAND ANSWERS crowd they have to satisfy every so often, despite it inevitably being kind of lame when they do explain these mysterious things

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.

reckon that was smokey, unless you think jacob wanted to kill everyone on the ship.

good ep tho, the alt stuff is quite interesting now. thought it was cool how the order numbers in mr clucks corresponded to their actual numbers on the island, it feels like their stupid coincidences actually matter in the alt. really really like the idea that the alt is some sort of bullshit world created by smokey....

After Hurley and his Mom exited the banquet I thought I heard her say "remember we have the Human Fund next week" or words to that effect. The Human Fund was a fake charity George Costanza invented on Seinfeld. Anyone else hear this?

Someone did.

whoa, did Hugo's mom just say he had an awards dinner for the THE HUMAN FUND next week?

Money ...for People!

Claire had been spending time with fake Locke and when questioned by Jin she clearly states that Locke is not Locke, it's her "friend" or whatever. And the last time we saw her she was hanging out in the cabin with Christian.

I do suspect that Jack is seeing his father and not Locke. I guess we'll see next week.

Re: the boy in the jungle: he looked like a similar boy but with darker hair and older.

re: whispers = ghosts. I suspect Hurley's got it at least a little wrong, and this is more misdirection, like this is not the end of the whispers reveal.

thought it was a diff kid. one young jacob another young smokey?

Kids are both played by the same actor, though they definitely looked different. Very interesting.

ok so some of the lost peeps can see the kid, and some cant, right?

The mystery kid did seem to be getting older. I really think it's Jacob, and there's some weird thing where he's come back and is getting back up to the right age rapidly.

that sounds okay - jack seeing smoke as his dad no

In the kid's previous appearance, Sawyer was able to see him, but Man in Black was surprised at that.

there is always a lot of speculation along the lines of "this actor looked slightly different/spoke more slowly/had a longer beard.... therefore it is some kind of magic island thing" which has never 1nce panned out ever ever ever

Is Desmond a candidate? Was the rule only candidates can see the kid referees?

nor has the "character x sees character y where all other characters see character z"--see sawyer horse

when libby said, 'do you mean... A DATE' that drawn-out pause is pretty magic islandy.

I can't wait until L O S T is over and someone who isn't me can pan through all the LOST threads and collect a list of every nutball baseless "theory" that didn't end up coming true

Did anyone else notice the thick, thick makeup on Libby/C. Watros? Troweled on!

anyone think jack may have seen something else not his dad when he looked at locke? his face looked like he had seen an animal of some kind imo.

every nutball baseless "theory" that didn't end up coming true - tru, but what fun is this show w/o otherwise seemingly intelligent & reasonable folks bending over backwards to explain this ridiculous shit

ITS THE SAME DAM KID

i've just watched it again and if you look at jack's face (and i think his pupils) it seems like it's an animal with four legs...tho can't quite tell what kind of animal. it's not a cow, a goat, a sheep, or a pig tho.

I can't wait until L O S T is over and someone who isn't me can pan through all the LOST threads and collect a list of every nutball baseless "theory" that didn't end up coming true

this can sit next to and be dwarved by the list of obvious devices and plotlines that came to nothing

like a pony or a donkey maybe...but a different size.

Jacob reincarnated, aging quickly?
xpost to jaymc's pics

not a pony - his nose twiched like it was not a pony

this thick libby makeup and ponies in pupil details I'm missing is giving me conflicted feelings over maybe getting a better TV.

whatever animal it was it also looked sort of like a person, a southern man

Yeah, I'd be shocked if that kid doesn't turn out to be Jacob.

Why would the kid need to be Jacob? Jacob can already ghost around in adult-form.

I don't know, but come on, look at that kid - that actor was almost definitely chosen strictly for his resemblance to the actor that plays Jacob.

wasn't the earlier theory that the kid was aaron?

no one can see ghost jacob but hurley though

i love how the kid gets under flocke's skin: "DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!" lol

yeah thought that too, would be good if the kid said "smokey has an embarrassingly small penis" or "smokey was bullied regularly as an island child" or something...

throw the desmond down the well, so my smokey can be free
