Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

He was also one of Vern's sons on Oz.

that episode probably made me more mad than any other in the season. horrible stupid death for 2 major characters, possible/likely death for another major character and a popular minor character kind of quickly tossed in there as part of one of the dumbest sequences in the show's history.

also, it was broad daylight when they got in the sub, and pitch black out by the time they swam back up to the beach. how long do you reckon they were down there, a half hour tops?

This isn't really the first time you've noticed a bizarre time inconsistency on the "island", right? It is maddening though, I agree.

eh it just blows my mind how boneheaded they can be about basic logistic stuff sometimes while trumpeting that they have a staffer whose whole job is keeping an eye on continuity.

That staffer's name is Raymond Chandler Jr though.

OTM.

lols

for some reason it really bothers me that the kwons were talking to each other in English. Like, all their lives they've always talked to each other in Korean and now that they both speak english they just switch.

I think Daniel Dae Kim was losing his accent a little bit when he was shouting, too.

that whole scene was seriously lacking ll cool j and a shark.

i thought it was awesome!

Worse series finale: the one that I am imagining for Lost or the actual one that was aired for Seinfield?

Perhaps the final scene will be Bob Newhart waking up next to Suzanne Pleshette.

Seinfeld was at least nihilistic and anti-plot enough that there was something kind of appropriate about their finale

What pop song should they close the finale with? I'm hoping for "Save It For Later."

Island will turn out to have been dream in comatose mind of alt-Anthony Cooper

this show has been mad cheesy to me lately. Not that is hasn’t been in the past but damn I’m just not feeling it

im going to be the only one who is incredibly happy about this episode arent i.

"AH HOPE YOOO HAD THE TAHM OF YORE LAAAF!"

pretty sure i disliked this ep, but i watched it at like 3am last night after 11 hours of driving so who knows really

so dead kwons is the first kind of palpable indication that sidewaysverse is conclusively better for some of the characters huh?

I liked this episode, even though the whole bomb "he can't kill us" thing didn't really make sense to me. Are they implying that flocke physically can't kill them (and thus the bomb was fake-wired in a way where attempting to disarm it actually armed it) or that they island won't allow the candidates to be killed by flocke (bomb was wired normally but just would have malfunctioned and not blown up if left alone)? Either way, flocke did sort of kill Sun, so I guess maybe he can only kill them in indirect ways or something, I don't know.

Really, maybe the last episode should just be Jacob and Man in Black attentively listening and taking notes while that weird kid reads them all these island rules that they have to play by.

first one. locke didn't kill sun, sawyer did by arming the bomb

I don't blame Sawyer, though.

If Jack, who has rarely if ever had one of his plans work out the way he wanted it to, told you this story about Smokey not being able to kill them and by way of explanation just said "Trust me", would you buy that?

I wonder if Jack regrets making Sun come back so she could die in a submarine.

of course he did, that's he had to feed the ocean with his salty salty baby tears at the end of the episode

this is why i hate these kinds of things that come down to whether a character can or can't be killed by certain people -- the responsibility for those deaths suddenly shifting to Sawyer because he sped up the bomb's countdown slightly is ridiculous, but that's just the kind of things the writers would hinge it all on.

duh this show is D.U.M.B.

anyway i thought the whole thing in the black rock was Jack and Hurley couldn't be killed period because they were CANDIDATES -- if Sun and Jin both died does that mean that's bullshit or that they'd been ruled out as candidates by some random logic in the interim?

Christian appearing right before Michael died is never going to be explained is it

Oh don't worry that's on Raymond Chandler Jr's list of stuff that gets explained next week.

I'd also like to know how Christian visited Jack off-island.

(and set off the smoke alarm!)

I'm still in jaw-dropped awe at how poorly they handled the Jin/Sun story arc over the past TWO seasons. I'm... truly... speechless.

I guess the deal is that smokey couldn't leave the island or spread evil or wtf ever until everyone including Jacob was dead? So he manufactured Jacob's death and now is killing the rest of them? Because otherwise he could have left before Alpert arrived. But does that mean he needs to kill Desmond and Widmore and Tina Fey and all the chumps who ran into the forest as well? Does he not need to kill the spooky little boy? What about Rose & Bernard!

my wife was pretty appalled that Sun didn't scream "go escape and raise our fucking daughter that you haven't met yet" and more and more i'm feeling the same. maybe they can kill off Claire too and just put all the kids in an orphanage with Walt for the spin-off.

okay maybe I'll get ribbed for this.. (sawyer's horse, I earned that..) but what if Adam and Eve are Claire and Jack? She doesn't appear to be going anywhere.. Sawyer, Hurley and Kate either die or somehow escape with Widmore? Locke turns the wheel to escape into the Sahara.. and poof! Jack and Claire stuck back in time with nothing to do but die (and collect black and white stones).

it's not jin's daughter i thought

yeah, this is ultimately what bothers me too. Tricking somebody else into killing other people (especially if it's basically an accident) should basically count as the same thing as killing them yourself. I mean, if Locke sent a monkey with a loaded gun into the sub would that have been an acceptable way to kill them too?

Nah, it's Jin's baby. Speaking of babies, do you remember when this show was always about babies?

Total waste of time! Surprise!

Wasn't she preggers from english tutor?

BTW i'm fine with locke sending a dharma shark with a gun to finish candidates off.

xp to babies/waste of time - I read a good theory on that: something about how Jacob's game appears to be 'bring people to the island, have them choose good even if it means death' and babies aren't capable of that choice, and as such, shouldn't be on the island - bam! No pregnancies.

Anyway did it already get posted here that the finale was extended to 2.5 hours? Yay!

Wasn't she preggers from english tutor?

Nah, Juliet tested her and it was Jin's.

I mean, if Locke sent a monkey with a loaded gun into the sub would that have been an acceptable way to kill them too?

Only if Sawyer had taken the gun from the monkey, said "I know how to disarm this thing" and then sprayed the room with gunfire, repeating "Oops!" again and again.

If that's the case, why bring a pregnant lady to the island, or those two little kids from the temple, or etc.

poor english tutor! that guy got no breaks. except having to pay child support I suppose.

(xp) no idea - but bear in mind the children were taken into "protective custody" almost immediately when they got onto the island, the others tried to take Aaron too.. So perhaps the temple was thought to be the one place safe enough for the few kids that did make it onto the island despite all odds.. even Walt was only given back to Michael because it was obvious he was getting the hell off the island..

Kids on the island get all sorts of weird island powers -- but Walt creeped them out with his superpowers already formed.

Remember when there was an ash ring around the cabin that apparently did something? It doesn't seem like that meant anything.

Aaron didn't seem to have any powers.

Wasn't Ethan born on the island? He didn't have any powers.

The ash kept MIB inside.
Ethan had superspeed and superhealing and supercreep.
Aaron had power to turn Claire crazy.
