LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
I'll just start a thread here, as there may be things to talk about this season.
What did you guys think of the season premiere?
This conversation was semi-interesting (not great), but it's Friday and it's helped me kill 12 minutes. http://insidetv.aol.com/2010/02/03/intr ... -premiere/

Re: LOST: Season 6
As usual, we're left sitting scratching our heads.
The two parallel realities are confusing.
I thought the two episodes were damn entertaining though.
Can we make this thread a FF? It'd be nice if Sylvus didn't gay it up by insulting me in any response I bother making in a thread simply because he has a keyboard and a mouth.
(That can be edited out upon the FF thing)

Re: LOST: Season 6
I felt that they were interesting episodes, but I didn't feel that 'that' much really happened. I just expected that since we're down to fifteen or sixteen episodes, the shit would start hitting the fan. I recall having a similar feeling during the last season of BSG. While the writers on Lost have clearly demonstrated a larger vision than Ron Moore ever did with his show, you can't help but worry. I want someone to make me eat my words when the season ends and it all turns out to have been a wonderful ride.

Re: LOST: Season 6
I'm concerned that the ending will be a let-down, but I'll keep an open mind and enjoy the ride until then. I just hope there's some way they can leave me satisfied.Kaldaur wrote:I felt that they were interesting episodes, but I didn't feel that 'that' much really happened.

As far as the episodes and not much happening, I guess that the introduction of the separate timelines probably took up a lot of what they could do with the episodes. Not to mention them having to lay the groundwork for what is going to happen in each of the timelines/realities/whatever. I think I read somewhere that they have talked about unifying everything like 1/3 of the way into the season. How long has it been since everyone was on the island, in the same year, in the same timeline?
I can't wait to see where they go tonight.

Re: LOST: Season 6
I overhyped the premier last week to myself, so it wasn't the next coming of Lost Jesus...but it was still a good 2 hours of my fav show.
I'm not too concerned how they end it...most likely everyone will hate it...but what I'm concerned with is how they handle the time travel. So far, I feel they have done it well...if they just abandon any time travel explanations I will be disappointed. Its a tough thing to put in a tv show, and so far have been very happy with what they did.

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
With my lack of WTFHEADSSPLODEs, I will say that I am intrigued by the new other camp. The Japanese other, along with his translator, appear to be interesting characters, just as long as he isn't the stereotypical karate dood.
Also, I didn't know that the writers of Lost were stealing hacks, but here's the proof. Lost was actually a 1960s show!

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
So this is the last season of Lost?
Can we just get a poll at the end to see if it was worth watching the whole show? I gave up on it after 1 season because of the misleading advertising.

Episode 2
I've been reading Alan Sepinwall's TV column for a few weeks now, and his blog is full of good infos. He does some pretty good reviews of Lost episodes, and catches or thinks about some things that I don't always notice.

I was hoping she would be the one they killed off at the end of last season.

From what I've heard, he was actually in that episode where Kate escaped from the Others back in the third season (or whenever that was). It must have been before Always Sunny blew up.Keverian FireCry wrote:I got a kick out of seeing Rob McElhenney('Mac' from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) in the latest episode.

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
So creepy. So good.
Anyone else getting the idea that if the plane hadn't crashed, most of these people's lives would have turned out okay? Not good, not bad, but decent? Excepting Kate, but even she got away. I just get the impression that they would have led normal, mediocre lives. We'll have to wait and see what this is to portend, but right now, it's a toss up to me whether or not they'd be better off if the plane hadn't crashed or Jacob and his crew hadn't interfered in their lives at all.

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
Its more than not having the plane crash, its an alternate time line where the island didn't exist. No island = no Jacob = no plane crash
But yes, their lives would have been mostly normal. Does this mean Jacob is the cause of Hurley's bad luck?

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
True. I guess it just comes down to whether or not Sayid was saved by the pool, or by something else after he was dead. Miles seems to think it was something else, and since he can hear and talk to dead people, I'm inclined to believe his diagnosis.

The Sayid we know is now dead. Even if he were to redeem himself, we all know that happens to those people. I feel a bit sad about that. He had a kind heart even if he did bad things.
Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
He was one of my favorite characters...now he's just an annoying smokie dolt. But whatever, the show goes on...and it is good...but a little too fragmented right now for my tastes. No jack and hurley at all in that episode makes it feel like the story isn't going to really move along much.

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
Im seeing some similarities between this and Stephen King's The Stand.
Man in Black recruiting main characters, usually the physically strong ones. A crazy chick.
Both stories will end with many of the main characters, the chosen ones, dying.

The bomb was the end of last season. Stay with the program!
Definitely some Stand-ish vibes, but I don't really know if it's fair to let Stephen King lay claim to the concept of a good group and an evil group going at it

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
I was referring to the visual aspect. Plus, King stressed the religious overtones in a heavy way, whereas we're only getting a slight religious vibe from Lost. BSG featured that as well, although it didn't take the Stand route of good vs. evil, just differing sides with political agendas.

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
This is the first time I watched this show (A friend had it on while we were playing some boardgames) and this show looks so mind-blowingly weird I'm going to go back and watch it from ep 1 on NetFlix (this is how I started watching 24, accidently caught an episode during season 3 or 4).

It has changed so much from Season 1, it is like watching an entirely different show. It looked like a great character study with strange things happening. Now it is a big GOOD Vs Evil showdown.
I still love it though.

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
Oh yeah, it has also been one of the most web friendly shows. They have put up websites, hidden clues, held mysteries, filled backstories, held art shows, where you only could go by solving the web clues. It plants commercials between other shows, they had an Oceanic 6 billboard in the Flashback show, so be careful, it can get addictive as hell.

Oh, that makes more since. I initially thought you were referring to the 180 from being forced to work with Widmore to wanting to work with him.
Yeah it is a bit puzzling to see him go from Widmore to Sayid so quickly, but don't most episodes in Lost end with big 'WTF' moments like that?

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
If you think about Desmond's history on Lost, he pretty much has been forced to go places the whole time, and has often struggled against that, usually because he just wants to get back to Penny. Early in this episode, Widmore told him he was going to have to make a sacrifice, and toward the end of the episode (after talking with Daniel Farraday/Widmore and flashes of knowledge of his "other life" from each side) he understood exactly why he needs to make that sacrifice and finally accepts it. IMO, he went with Sayid in part because of his new acceptance and knowing that he's going to have to go with the flow regardless. I think we'll also find out that he has more planned, or that going with Sayid fits in line with Widmore's plan.
I thought it was a great episode, and I can't wait to see the rest of the series and Desmond gathering the Islanders in the alternate timeline/universe/whatever and showing them what should/could have been.

What did you think of the Desmond statement "I know who you are, you're John Locke" A suprised Locke then dumps Desmond down the well. Following this series of events back in alt realty is Desmond running Locke over. Was that a coincidence? Can Desmond communicate between selves somehow?

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
I'm still kind of on the fence about that. Was Desmond "getting revenge" on Locke for throwing him down the well? Was he running over him with a car to shock him into "remembering" (perhaps not the right term, as it's not necessarily in the past, but you get the drift) the island, since so far all we've seen as catalysts for "remembering" are (near-)love and (near-)death?Sumdaor wrote:Sylvus wrote:If you think about Desmond's history on Lost, he pretty much has been forced to go places the whole time, and has often struggled against that, usually because he just wants to get back to Penny. Early in this episode, Widmore told him he was going to have to make a sacrifice, and toward the end of the episode (after talking with Daniel Farraday/Widmore and flashes of knowledge of his "other life" from each side) he understood exactly why he needs to make that sacrifice and finally accepts it. IMO, he went with Sayid in part because of his new acceptance and knowing that he's going to have to go with the flow regardless. I think we'll also find out that he has more planned, or that going with Sayid fits in line with Widmore's plan.
I thought it was a great episode, and I can't wait to see the rest of the series and Desmond gathering the Islanders in the alternate timeline/universe/whatever and showing them what should/could have been.
What did you think of the Desmond statement "I know who you are, you're John Locke" A suprised Locke then dumps Desmond down the well. Following this series of events back in alt realty is Desmond running Locke over. Was that a coincidence? Can Desmond communicate between selves somehow?
However, I totally think that he can communicate between selves or even more than that, maybe it's shared knowledge. Like in last week's episode, he'd pass out (from the EM blast; from touching Penny) in one and his consciousness would awaken in the other, and while the speed of the flow of time isn't the same, he experiences what is happening "at the same time". If you remember alt-Desmond zoning out in his car before Ben Linus came up and asked if he was Pedobear, that was right after he was pushed down the well by Locke. Was he there to awaken alt-Locke, zoned out and saw Man-in-Black-Locke push him down the well, and then decided to hit him?
I don't know, but this is going to be a fun ride!

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
I think that looking at it in terms of remembering stuff in the past is completely valid. I've been wondering if the "alternate" timeline isn't a result of the island being destroyed in the past, but more the Man in Black getting off the island and reshaping reality. Everyone keeps saying if he gets off the world will end, everything changes, blah blah.. so I mean, this could be it. And people remembering the original timeline is them fighting through Evil Locke's influence. Daniel's mom said that Desmond wasn't ready, that it wasn't time, she seemed to be completely aware of what was going on. I'm 99% sure we haven't seen the last of Desmond in the proper timeline, and I have a feeling he was trying to jumpstart Locke, or maybe just to get him together with Jack, because you sure as hell know that he'll be Locke's doctor! Will be interesting to see if alternate Locke is able to walk after the accident... I wouldn't be surprised.

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
Another very good episode. I got a bit chocked up when I saw Hurly at the end.
Anyone think Lapidus made it out? They kind of just let that one hang.

Lapidus pulled Jin out. I'd be willing to bet the farm on it. We saw his hands floating away at the end, and we never saw Lapidus get off the sub.

Re: LOST: Season 6 - Possible [SPOILERS]
I was under the impression that Lapidus bit it when the sub hatch door exploded inward and hit him. I guess you could technically survive that, but I'm not sure you'd come to before you drowned. It does make sense though I guess, since one of the Kwon's was on "the list".Kaldaur wrote:Lapidus pulled Jin out. I'd be willing to bet the farm on it.
