Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

Also, they killed off every character who cared about understanding anything--Daniel, Locke, Charlotte--and left a bunch of pawns behind.

Yeah I think this is what pisses me off the most.
Maybe if it was some artfully crafted character drama with dialogue that ~makes you think~ I might forgive the mystery stuff being pushed to the sidelines but truth is all that stuff is excrutiatingly bad, the mystery stuff is all they have going and as ppl have said (and me upthread) we still don't know what we're rooting for.

This series is making me forget some of the awesome stuff, I really think the Locke story was a great example of what they ~could~ do.

THIS SHOW IS GONNA KILL US ALL LIKE AN AIRBORNE FUNGUS!

Kind of can't wait for it to be over so that some obsessive can make an entire series re-edit which deletes all flashbacks, flash-forwards and flash-sidewayses.

we still don't know what we're rooting for

This kind of sums up why I've been feeling impartial about this season - every couple of episodes someone needs to DO SOMETHING and sets off to a random location from a previous season where the hang out with a small group of followers until someone else needs to DO SOMETHING ELSE and go to another location with slightly different group of followers, possibly with some bloodshed en route. Then someone gets mad at the group they're in and shifts over to the other group for a while and so on. I didn't get hooked on this show for the cliquey group dynamics.

i am transferring all of my obsessions w/ this show over to fringe which is unfortunately even less likely to end in a satisfying manner

^^^have been contemplating such a sublimation myself, is it at least awesome while you are watching it?

yeah, first season was kind of rough but its really hit its groove this season--plus the 'non-mythology' episodes are totally watchable

last episode of FRINGE was easily better than anything we've seen on LOST this season

grady just texted me to say that hes DJing the L O S T wrap party tomorrow night

FUCK THAT GUY

haha

He should just play "You All Everybody" over and over all night.

that and whatever was on hurley's headphones before the batteries went

and selections from the OST

Tell him to play Moneen, they've written songs about Lost. Heh.

i met a guy in a LOST band. i think i linked their myspace on this page. pretty funny. if you are into harry potter bands and stuff like that.

Maybe a little Geronimo Jackson.

xpost is that the one that plays at Knitting Factory Brooklyn every tuesday night?

Recommendation -- drop the Rockford Files theme music into the middle of something.

Would it be too cheesy to use the LOST flashback-whoosh.mp3 or panning-trombone.mp3 to segue in the set?

Recommendation -- drop the Rockford Files theme music into the middle of something.

This pretty much applies to any DJ set. In the top 5 tv themes ever imo.

Play the Heroes theme music (if it has any.)

Music for the Heroes series is by Wendy & Lisa (ex-Prince) actually.

Lindelof: It’s like when you spend time with a 3-year-old, you quickly find out that one question just begets another — there’s a “why” in the wake of every “why” — and the only way to end the conversation is to say, “Oh look, a Chuck E. Cheese!” The show is doing its best to say, “Oh look, Chuck E. Cheese!” For example, we’ve now given the viewers as much as we’re willing to say about the numbers, and we’re moving on.

this is some straight-up Billy Corgan-caliber audience condescension. I was pretty much ready to let certain pet mysteries slide at this point & just get comfortable for the coming spectacle, but srsly fuck these dudes. I will still watch, but now w/ EXTREME PREDJUDICE

er.. prejudice

Starting to wonder if the finale will explain the Adam & Eve skeletons as promised in all those interviews a few years back as "proof we knew what we were doing all along".

didn't they do some kind of teaser/joke reference to them earlier in the season? can't remember now.

You know when they do explain it, it'll be something so ridiculously cheesy and sentimental the internet will throw up in unison. "The whispers are ghosts" ain't got nothin'!

It'll be proof that... we are all John Locke. Gullible, *wanting* to believe. Then a smoke monster eats us all.

No episode tonight. Or you could say there's a flashback to Richard's flashback of a few weeks ago.

LOST: The Animated Series

Maybe there'll be a Real Ghostbusters style spin-off with Smokey reformed and in the Slimer role.

Watching the last Desmond episode again, wonder if they'll explain why Charlie is much balder in the alternate timeline.

CarltonCuse

We are now mere hours from locking the cut of the finale. We have been living in the editing rooms for 6 days and nights straight.

lol at cuse stumbling into the daylight to find that no one cares anymore

postsecret

The secret script for the LOST finale has been leaked online. I'm not peeking but you can find it with a Google search. 8 minutes ago via web

HOLY SHIT THIS PART

LOCKE walks up to WATERMELON, which sits silently on a table by the ocean. JACK stands beside the table, making some sort of face that the actor is paid to make, JACK pulls a gun out of his pants and points it to his head. JACK looks at watermelon.
LOCKE: DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T DO
WATERMELON does not respond, SAWYER walks by
SAWYER: Sup frackles
SAWYER kisses WATERMELON
The camera pans down, revealing that KATE lays dead near the table. Violins play, HURLEY walks in slow motion towards LARGE BIRD sitting in tree near the table.
LARGE BIRD: Hurley!
JACK screams, shoots himself in the head

Why is there a watermelon there?

I'll tell you later.

So do we have four or five more hours left in the series?

Because I don't care about spoilers, I read it. And it feels as fake as a fake thing to me (because of the way it's written, specifically the acting directions, rather than the content).

I kind felt that way about other spoilers that turned ot to be true, so I'll stay away from this.

I checked imdb for the cast listings for the final episode and Watermelon is definitely on there.

Must be MIB's real name.

Walter Mellon?
