Lost Season 6 - RE: LA X

opening act

better be a climactic symphonic rendition of "You All Everybody"

omg totes

"Let's Get Geophysical"

the whole flawed thing didn't make any sense at all

but OK

surprise surprise Jack forgot to ask how the fuck the lighthouse worked

hey he doesn't have lostpedia to consult like we do, you want him to write cribnotes on his hand for all the shit he could ask Jacob whenever he finally runs into him?

my first q would be like, dude, what are my new powers

maybe jacob can fly!

funny to think back to mikhail and the dharma guy building the geodesic dome model and everyone else confidently doing their jobs in an organisation and being ruthless and killing people and confidently risking or sacrificing their own lives towards some secret about which they didn't actually know anything or had been lied to by someone who had probably been lied to by someone who had probably etc but maybe all of them thought they were telling the truth or it was like chinese whispers or like there secret was zero

so there's a light at the centre of the island that makes people into monsters. there a massive electromagnetic source too unrelated to the light or jacob didn't know there was any relation until the man in black had something metal when they were playing board games. the button (remember there was a button on a computer that people were pressing) released the electromagnetic energy so it wouldn't build up and make the sky purple and the wee counter show some hieroglyphics. so dharma made that computer after digging down to the magnetism and then shitting themselves and concreting it in wonder why they were digging down before they ended up shitting themselves

then jacob decided to make a hundred lists just of people names including one list all over the ceiling of a hard-to-get-to cave in case he forgot wonder where he got the chalk from

looking forward to the finale

maybe jacob can fly!

He can teleport anywhere in the world to touch potential candidates!

random question: were losties for or against mr. eko? I wasn't in the loop back then. (re:underused interesting characters.)

nice work conrad

stuff i would like explained

1) Christian's body and how MIB went about using it (e.g. finding the coffin and burying the original corpse so Jack wouldn't find it? or perhaps Jacob did this)
2) How Jacob was able to leave the island (it would be cool to see him prevent MIB from using the wheel somehow only to start using it himself - or maybe he just took his own sub)
3) How Jacob first identified and learned about his candidates (googling 'loser' via his Lighthouse coconut internet telescope?)
4) Why Jack's cut is happening
5) Who did the smokemonster carving in the Temple - was it Smokey himself or the temple-builders, having encountered Smokey in some way (an earlier version of Smokey, caused by the same light cave)
6) The CABIN ffs why was Jacob using it, why he stopped, who broke the ash

2) How Jacob was able to leave the island (it would be cool to see him prevent MIB from using the wheel somehow only to start using it himself - or maybe he just took his own sub)

im telling u he can fly

the airline finding Christian's coffin in the flash sideways seemed like an indication that they're gonna come back to that in some big way in the finale (and tbh i probably wouldn't even be thinking about Christian's body right now if they hadn't drawn attention to it last night).

there are no answers to any of those questions, there is a light, the candidates are flawed, desmond is a failsafe. those are your answers.

the airline didn't find jack's body, that was desmond prank calling LOL

something that occurred to me last night: tell me if i'm forgetting something, but MIB in his human form stopped aging at 40ish when he went into the water/became smokey/etc. but why did Jacob stop aging at that moment too? was there something in that episode that signified Jacob becoming immortal or acquiring all his powers when MIB 'died' or when their mom died or something?

oh shit forgot that it was Desmond

jacob stopped aging at that time to show solidarity for his bro that he screwed over

Jacob's fake mom never really aged, did she? I mean, they made no attempt to make Allison Janney look any older?

didnt jacob drink the magic drink that moms gave him

that specifically gave him powers?

he was a kid then

when Jacob drank the wine that's probably when he stopped ageing. too bad they couldn't give some of that to Walt right?

lol

Why did Flocke tell Ben that his new plan was to blow up the island? Didn't he JUST tell Ben that he could have the island after Flocke left?

i think because Ben didn't really believe Flocke and accepts he has to comply with Flocke's requests to stay alive for the moment. and Flocke can just tell Ben stuff believing he can't stop him.

i am such a man of faith right now

has there been any indication exactly why Des woke up and started running around taking care of business in the alt reality?

I guess there was the Charlie encounter. Guess something snapped after that?

Desmond is Fry after 1000 cups of coffee - awesome

I love how Desmond beating the crap out of Ben is what made Ben remember the Island -- I guess he's taken enough beatings there for it to jog his memory.

yeah that was done pretty well.

i do like how Locke getting his legs back is like a threshold for him in both timelines. I just hope we don't get some lame "the real Locke is fighting back to retake his body!"

that wd be cool

Desmond is Fry after 1000 cups of coffee - awesome

i totally forgot how awesome that episode was

im really starting to think that the whole "rules" thing and "powers" on the island is going to turn out to be something along the lines of "IF U BELIEVE, IT COME TRUE CUZ THE ISLAND IS MAGIC!"

to be fair it's always been like that

yeah if these are done as some sort of crawler at the bottom of the screen somebody at ABC needs to die

must... troll.. that.. feed...

don't... feed... the... troll...

i wish every episode this year had been like this.

ya kinda wish this ep had happened like, 10 eps ago

i mean, sittin' around the campfire with friggin' jacob. so satisfying after all this time...

decent ep imo

Hey guys, we are on the last episode and we still don't know how the two timelines relate.

Kinda weird.

But yeah, good episode.
