[WarpSpeedChewy]

Ahh new thread. I'm going to comment to being a top poster here like I used to be.

Continued from the last thread.
What has already happened has happened. You can't change the past. Forget Desmond. Before the island moved and even started time hopping, we already knew that Alpert visited Locke as a child twice but didn't know why. Now we know! That means that his meeting with Locke has always happened! I say this is fact. Richard knew exactly when he would be born. Am I making sense now? The time hopping is not changing anything on the island. No new memories. These events have always happened. Desmond is just an exception.
Well we really can't say for sure that particular event is only related to Desmond, though. I'm not really saying it's changing anything except new memories that happened in that past are being remember. Sorta like memories on top of memories. But I just watched some older episodes today and what you are saying kind of makes more sense since guys like Ben and Richard are always emphasizing why it's important Locke stays alive.

Yeah, I mean, all his stuff is solid, but I think that, based on what I've got into so far, he could use a little time to really pull something together that's as wonderful as Gold was. I don't know though. That's interesting he's got unreleased stuff yet to be put out there.
The guy has literally a library of unreleased material.

I'm assuming you've read Y: The Last Man? I haven't read many comics, but that remains as my favorite comic ever and I really can't image anything topping that for a while...
Y is one of the best things I've ever read. I hope the ending of LOST comes close to the genius of Y's ending.

I have read two comics, that and Watchmen. I read that one a long time ago though and would love to reread it at some point.
How many volumes of it have you read ?

[whoaisame]

new thread, awesome.

I was reading some other forums and came across some interesting stuff. One thing I read was about the whole time looping type thing, and it theorized that Charlie himself was the musician that programmed the musical password in the Looking Glass. But, kind of contradictory, someone theorized that the oceanic 6 in every other repeated timeline, never left the island. The only reason they did is because Desmond turned the key, was able to see the future, saw Charlies fate (Charlie was supposed to die, as he did in the previous time loops on the island), but Desmond delayed his death, so Charlie ended up entering the password and getting the Oceanic 6 off the island.

[secretemily]

hey-o new thread

[alann]

If they find a way to bring Charlie back, I will high five everyone I know.

[sdbrown]

I'm sure they'll bring him back. Not for good, but I'm sure he'll be back for at least a few appearances before the end.

[HoldingOntoHope]

If they find a way to bring Charlie back, I will high five everyone I know.


haha best thing i've heard all night.

[Greg]

if Charlie came back i would be pretty happy about that. he was one of my favorite characters. maybe he will come back and save Claire! haha

this post is mostly so i am subscribed to this thread now.

so just for kicks...

Jin is alive!
Locke is a chump!
Jack should not have shaved his beard!
Vincent is the island!
Kate is an Other.
I love you Penny! haha
alright i am done. all in good fun, lata.

[CellarGhosts]

The guy has literally a library of unreleased material.
Haha, I guess it doesn't surprise me. Looking forward to hearing what he does next, though, whether he releases any of these albums or comes up with something new after his hiatus.

[valencourt]

wouldn't it be crazy if Jin does in fact turn out to be dead. Then once the Oceanic 6 get back to the Island, there is a time-shift that goes back to when Jin is alive on the island, and Sun sees him and crap, but then the time-shift happens again, and he just keeps dying? . For the record though, i do still believe he's alive. Though, I have the feeling since we're supposed to see Jin on the island again, it's supposed to make us think he's alive. I have conflicting pov's.

[nivek87]

The official Jack thread.

hahaha win.

So we know the "Lets go backers" have 70 hours left to return and this is 3 years after they left. Do you think the island is having a reverse Narnia time effect, meaning, in Narnia, once they enter the wardrobe, years and years go by, but once they leave it, its only been like a split second.

In this case, maybe the island is the place that is moving extremely fast and although it feels like it has only been a day since the island began time shifting, that its actually been much more? I have a lot of trouble imagining this time shifting effect going on for 3 years.

[CellarGhosts]

That's what I was discussing with drudo in the past thread. It would explain why Desmond didn't get the memory until much later. I really hope they don't experience years of time hopping.

oh woops, didn't see that jess. yeah, I definitely think we are all on to something with that. Otherwise, its getting be loopy...see what i did there?

the only thing that contradicts itself there is Locke being dead in LA at the time, when Desmond received that memory. There's no reason he should of received that memory conveniently 3 years later, unless it was somehow delivered at that time on the island. However, when Faraday gave him that memory, Locke was marching through the jungle -- not in LA doing his dick in the box move. Did the writers mess up somewhere?

I like when we come to the same conclusions. And thinking about these separate timelines and who's where and whatnot is now getting me confused.

Edit: Oh and Drew, this is thread VII.

[Greg]

i feel like the "left behinders" will only go through a few days of time traveling. as in they are in various times but in like 72 hours or so. but the "lets go backers" have been gone for 3 years or whatever. so like Narnia the time in each uh "world" will be totally different. like in the Narnia books the kids leave Narnia and when they go back it is thousand of years later. but on LOST it seems the opposite will happen where more time passes in the real world than it does on the island. i am basing this off an interview from Damon and Carlton as well when asked about the love quadrangle that will be going on haha

Ha I am completely with you. Charlie needs to return in some fashion this season.

[alann]

I need to read the Mirror Matter theory more often.
Jack or Widmore turns the wheel counter-clockwise on advice from Locke (maybe fixing the time problems)
Ben turns the wheel clockwise on advice from Christian (causing the time problems)
That's an interesting thought.

[xeno6919]

Ha I am completely with you. Charlie needs to return in some fashion this season.
They will probably just have someone listening to Driveshaft in some way. Or there will be a VH1 like documentary of Driveshaft on someones tv in the background. That is how they will show Charlie again. Lol, I really want Chalie back for real though.

I know I wouldn't mind titles being posted prior, as long as there aren't any synopsis included before the ep. I still think we might have some complete purist out there who might get pet peeved at a title being posted prior though. I'd say to wait it out.

I've often thought about that theory, i feel like there has been mention that time on the island is different than the real world, shown in last season by the dead doctor and stuff. I definitely feel that both the left behind people and the people that have to go back are all happening at the same "time." used loosely haha

I don't really mind that episode. It's probably my least favorite though.

[drudo182]

Expose > The Other 48 Days

I think that's my least favorite episode.

[CellarGhosts]

Expose > The Other 48 Days

I think that's my least favorite episode.
The Other 48 Days is also down there. I'd have to re-watch them both though if I were to decide which I disliked more. In fact, I just need to re-watch alot of older episodes. It's been a while since I've done that. I have been watching some of the episodes airing on SciFi though.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

The whole comparison to Narnia is misplaced. I think it has more to do with entering "Narnia" in this case to find yourself in a different time period, not so much how time flows. I think Jack, Band and the rest will probably end up going through the "wardrobe" in this case being some kind of wormhole that finds the island in DHARMA times.

I would love to see a Vincent centric. Since his mobisode was the most interesting and cool.
We could Vincent flashbacks too where he's being painted by Jacob.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Expose > The Other 48 Days

I think that's my least favorite episode.
I feel completely the opposite. I actually really liked "The Other 48 Days" episode. I love seeing stuff life that through a completely new perspective. Kinda like playing through Resident Evil 2 as Clarie the 2nd time you play it.

[drudo182]

I didn't mind The Other 48 Days but I felt it was awkward. Every couple minutes having a black screen with title text just got old. The Mr. Eko portion was very cool as was Goodwin. And then the guy that played Mike on ED was in it. Love him.

[crit]

I thought The Other 48 Days was quality. I am glad they only took one episode to tell that story, because they probably could have spread it out if they really wanted to.

Some of the time transitions were awkward sure. But I felt it to be a lot better than Expose. With that said though I didn't hate Expose either. I give the writers a lot of credit when focusing on the other survivors who are there who aren't all important to the island. You have to address those people at some point. I think it was probably done the best though with Rose and Bernard on the S.O.S. episode. That was a great way of showing characters reaction to the island that didn't have some cosmic tie to it. Nikki and Paulo were a poor man's Rose and Bernard.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

I love Rose and Bernard. They are the best.

Interesting fact about the S.O.S. episode: It's somewhat autobiographical on the life of the actress who plays Rose. She apparently had a husband who she met later in Life that ended up passing away soon after they met. A lot of that episode apparently used some of her personal experience with it. That really had a big impact on me the 2nd time I watched it.

[recall reality]

I loved The Other 48 Days when it aired, maybe a little bit less in retrospect, but far from my least favorite.

Expose was disappointing, Lando wasn't on the island.

To me Rose and Bernard complete the background of LOST for me. I know what you mean but it's nice to see them there. I'm curious though if they have anymore plans for them.

Great news. I wish LOST were a hour and a half show.

[drudo182]

Probably Bernard.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

You can't have Rose without Bernard. There's way too much fondness for those characters. I can see them having a well done ending.

[alann]

Theory:
Olivia Godspeed said that there was a volcano on the island and it erupted a long time ago.
I'm thinking that if the flashes don't stop by the season finale, we will see the eruption on 5x17.

[drudo182]

Let's hope the flashes stop before then... I don't know if I want an entire season of that unless they start lasting longer.

[alann]

With or without flashes, I still want that eruption with the main characters on the Island. It would be so phenomenal and epic.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

I wonder if the ash around the cabin was meant to be a hint for the volcano. Maybe Jacob is some kind of guardian for the Volcano. I need to watch "The Man Behind The Curtain" again.

[Throwback]

If they do a volcano eruption, lets hope they get some legit special effects. The freighter explosion looked so shitty.

[drudo182]

Freighter explosion wasn't too bad. Polar bear... yeah, that's been the worst.

[recall reality]

I agree, I thought that maybe Jughead might have something to do with another eruption, but we're talking an H-bomb... they would have had to bury that thing deeeeeeep.

Perhaps we'll go back and see the eruption... I don't know.

I'm thinking it will have something to do with the last season as well.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

I'm always surprised to learn how special effects are used in the show. You'd be surprised to see how seamless it is.

The polar bear graphics have gotten better over time. The monster looked incredible in season 4. Best it's ever looked.

[drudo182]

The monster does look cool for sure. When Ben turned the wheel, that looked insane too.

[alann]

The hatch implosion was pretty sweet.

[nivek87]

the island blooping was definitely one of my favorite special effects.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

The monster being released and attacking Widmore's men is my favorite special effect.

I'm a big fan of the island 'bloop'. I don't know if this is CGI but the editing in the time flashes has been REALLY impressive.

[krishasaheadake]

I have been watching season 2 in between new episodes. You can tell the pace of the show has sped up since.

[stayillogical]

Oh man, can you imagine if the DVRs didn't catch this and the four minutes was to allow for a huge reveal at the end? There would be mass chaos :-d

My sister and I always set a program to stop recording at least 4 minutes after, just in case. I remember the days when we didn't have the good sense to do that. Oh man, missing a LOST ending would be the worst.

Totally. I loved the first transition, the one with Locke and the rain.

The monster being released and attacking Widmore's men is my favorite special effect.

And then cue the sad music, "I have to say goodbye to my daughter John." I cried.

It might have been of the storylines cut because of the strike, though more than likely we'll never see it, we're so far detached from that part of the story right now (unless she was in the mental ward because she was time travelin')

when Des held up that picture of Faraday and who we now know as Theresa my room mate and i thought it was Libby and thought it was that somehow she had been involved with Dan and had been doing the time traveling thing. but then they showed us Theresa and we realized we had not gotten a good enough look at the picture.

I'm going to shoot this theory around again. I thought of it a few days ago and posted a tid bit about it in the last thread.

Basically, I feel like Ms. Hawking was not only finding where the island will be, but when the island will be as well. If our "lets go backers" are going to travel back to the island, I think its going to be really key for them to travel during a time where people are expected to be arriving. If they travel to a time where company isn't expected, they are going to be attacked, captured, or killed. However, if they arrive to the island during some time such as the beginning of the dharma initiative, they could easily be passed off as dharma recruits and continue on undetected.

That's some very good thinking, Kevin. Because of the crazy fluctuations of both time and place on the island, there would probably be some good times for them to arrive and some really bad times to arrive due to all of the events that have taken place in the history of the island.

I'm thinking something along those lines.

I think that in the 70 hour time limit, Sawyer and the other stay-behinders will flash to the three years later point that Jack and the others are at. So, they need to get back to the island during the time between the flash when the Islanders get to that time period and the flash when they leave that time period to reallign the island (which, in my guess, is flashing around because it lost Jack's crew when it moved the island and is trying to correct that issue).

As for why they HAVE to get back then, maybe, according to Ms. Hawking's calculations, it will be the last time they flash into the same time period, or maybe if they don't get back before X amount of flashes, the island will be destroyed or destroy the world (like when the button had to be pushed).

Sounds plausible to me...Kate will just have to deal with Sawyer being three years younger.

[stayillogical]

I watched the episode again and think it's more likely that Widmore is Faraday's uncle rather than father. Just the way he said, "Shut up, Ellie" seemed kind of brotherly to me. That was even my first reaction when I heard him say that, but I set it aside after finding out he was Widmore. Anyways, I wouldn't like either of these to be true, too many family connections already, but if Widmore has to have a connection to Hawking aside from fellow Other, I say brother.

Early season 3 was absolutely awful, almost made me lose interest in the show. It turned around completely though

[TachyonEvan]

Just watched Jughead again.

*Note the chick in the pic with Faraday at Oxford - are we to assume this is Theresa?
*Does Alpert visit Locke because Locke tells him to or because he's prophecized as a leader?
*Alpert keeps the compass. Is it the same compass that Locke DOESN'T choose? Maybe Alpert only wanted Locke to choose the compass so it would affirm what Locke said two year prior. Maybe it's not about destiny at all.
*Radiation=cancer.
*So, the Jughead/Swan connection doesn't entirely work. That concrete would NOT stop an h-bomb. Not enough concrete, not enough time.
*Pickles are kind of gross.

Was season 4 the first season when it went to 16 episodes non-stop? Season 3 overall was a great season, there were just those 4-6 episodes right when it either started or came back from break that mucked everything up because they had nothing to do with the plot whatsoever.

TPTB intended to have it 16 episodes non-stop, but because of the strike we ended up with 14 hours, a month long break after Meet Kevin Johnson, and a small break before the finale. Yeah, the thing that made some of season 3's episodes less than stellar was due to the fact TPTB didn't have an end date and didn't know where they were writing to.

Good to know about the equation, I must of missed that in the previous thread.

*Alpert keeps the compass. Is it the same compass that Locke DOESN'T choose? Maybe Alpert only wanted Locke to choose the compass so it would affirm what Locke said two year prior. Maybe it's not about destiny at all.

I still don't know what to make of Richard's intentions, specifically of the test. Seeing Locke born affirms his story, but I don't know what to make of the rest, as far as Locke's potential leadership status. Richard and Locke's initial meetings in season 3 are much more interesting at this point... Locke's destiny with the island is still one of the more pressing things on my mind.

*Radiation=cancer.

Ben? I also like the idea of a link to the mothers deaths in child birth that someone on here posted.

*So, the Jughead/Swan connection doesn't entirely work. That concrete would NOT stop an h-bomb. Not enough concrete, not enough time.

I'm thinking more and more that Jughead will have a lot to do with the end of the show, specifically the "seismic importance" comment from Darlton. Sayid's comment about concrete and Chernobyl is a great connection, but I don't think the Swan has anything to do with Jughead. You actually see what is behind all that concrete in the LOST video game... but it isn't really canon is it?

Sounds plausible to me...Kate will just have to deal with Sawyer being three years younger.

I don't know about why they have to get back, but that idea of a brief sync in time makes a whole lot of sense. They've hinted that they won't drag out the '06 for the whole season, so hopefully those 70 hours go by fast.

There are definitely a few time periods I'd like to see explored, I really hope the flashes don't stop soon, or at least, that they don't return to the present for good... a least not for a while. If Jughead was any indication, the island stuff is going to get really good.

I'm really glad I remembered about fish biscuits recaps, just finished the jughead one and it was great as always. highly suggest everyone checks it out.

[recall reality]

I think I like Locke more than Jack.

While Jack is who I would call the main protagonist of this show, as much as there could be one for LOST, I think Locke is the most important, and IMO interesting.

I think Locke has always been right about the island, about its importance to everybody. He has had the right intention from the start, while Jack, not so much. The fact that he will die for it says it all. Following faith is much harder than anything Jack had to do in getting off the island, thus I'm a bit more understanding of Locke's struggles. Of course, I probably would have done as Jack did. Locke's blind faith is as detrimental at points as Jack's complete lack of it.

Despite the past animosity, and while they may never get along, I think Jack will ultimately take a great deal away from the teachings of our John Locke.

I like both of their characters a great deal, and the balance between these two, science and faith, has always been one of my favorite themes. I hope they both find a balance by the end.

The early part of season 3 is probably the weakest part of the show so far. The first few episodes while being good really drag on a lot and Stranger in a strange land just wasn't good. But from that point on the show kept going up and hasn't come down since. Season 3 had a lot of important moments in the show.

I didn;t mind Expose that much either

Agreed completely.

Incidentally, I think "Eggtown" might be my least favorite episode. I dunno though. It's either that one or "Expose". :shrug: just don't care for either one, to be honest.

Mid-season 3 completely turned around when they found the bus. Honestly, I was barely watching that episode because I was nearly done with the show and then I loved it and loved the next week too. After that the season took off and turned out as to be as good as season 1

THe part where Jack bothed Ben's surgery so Kate and Sawyer could get away was fucking awesome though

Lindelof: All we can say is, whatever convention we’re using in the premiere episodes -- nothing in the show is season-long.
There are actually sort of three acts to the season. The first act is the first seven episodes, the second act is eight through 13, and the final act is 14 though 17. I think we can all assume the first act ends with the O6 getting to the island, but any ideas on the second two?

I think Expose was much more enjoyable watching it the second time around.

The last episode of season 3 really helps clarify H-bomb questions. Kelvin explains the leak. It all make sense! Sorry if I'm totally late, haha.

^I unfortunately don't remember that at all. What'd he say?

ooh, great artice, thank for the link!

I think ranking the seasons, I have to do them...

3 > 2 > 4 > 1

[CellarGhosts]

2 > 3 > 1 > 4

Odd man out?


I don't know though, I'll have to re-watch each season at some point.

While Jack is who I would call the main protagonist of this show, as much as there could be one for LOST, I think Locke is the most important, and IMO interesting.

I think Locke has always been right about the island, about its importance to everybody. He has had the right intention from the start, while Jack, not so much. The fact that he will die for it says it all. Following faith is much harder than anything Jack had to do in getting off the island, thus I'm a bit more understanding of Locke's struggles. Of course, I probably would have done as Jack did. Locke's blind faith is as detrimental at points as Jack's complete lack of it.

Despite the past animosity, and while they may never get along, I think Jack will ultimately take a great deal away from the teachings of our John Locke.

I like both of their characters a great deal, and the balance between these two, science and faith, has always been one of my favorite themes. I hope they both find a balance by the end.
This is my thoughts on Jack and Locke exactly.

No way are they going to get back to the island tha fast, I'll be surprised if that even happens this season

Disagree, except for Pearl Harbor, it sucked hard.

rewatching LOST,

where the fuck did Juliet get her machete from when she emerges from the jungle with sawyer to face faraday and the blonde girl ellie?

also, i'm sure this has been pointed out, but i just noticed the polar bear painting in the background of Widmore's office with the word "namaste"

going to do better quote post soon

The "Kate, dammit, run!" was so cool.

[CellarGhosts]

The "Kate, dammit, run!" was so cool.
Hah yeah, I loved that too.

[Ailite]

I have a question, anyone who has an answer feel free to give it-

Remember when Locke found the drug plane and got the radio working way back in season 1? He said "I'm part of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815," and the guy on the other end, whoever it was, said "No, we're the survivor's of Oceanic Flight 815." Were those the Tailies and did I just miss that?

[stayillogical]

The "Kate, dammit, run!" was so cool.

During the cage episodes, the best part for me was the whole "Turn around Freckles" "This is for Colleen" ... I really thought Sawyer was a goner, SO UPSET. The whole execution was beautifully shot. Plus the music.

[xeno6919]

The "Kate, dammit, run!" was so cool.
I loved when he screams that, so much emotion.

[Ailite]

The "Kate, dammit, run!" was so cool.
Yeah it really was, that was such a good arc. It really introcuced to us how powerful the Others were

I think it was Bernard. They showed that in the tail section episode. Ana Lucia made him turn it off thinking it was an Other pretending again like Goodwin.

Ah yes, I loved that part. I was afraid for Sawyer too hah.

Yeah, I believe it was one of the tail section survivors who said that. Bernard, I think?

Yeah, the talies. They show that scene from their view in The Other 48 Days

Yeah, it's weird because in an earlier episode, the painting was behind his desk, now it's to the side. Like i don;t know, whatever.

[Ailite]

Gotcha, I guess I just don't remember it. I thought that was one of the most intriguing parts of season 1

Yea it was definitely Bernard that picked up Boones transmission, I liked how they integrated it.

Those damn Steelers. We need a new purge.

Agreed, was pulling for Cardinals.

So I'm pretty positive that Jughead was in the swan, and they had to push the button fro it not to go off. Would explain alot.

[xeno6919]

I dunno about all this really. I mean wouldnt an H-bomb going off be way more explosive and damaging than that?

[stayillogical]

That's what the fail safe key was for.

Yes.

And just for the sake of it...

I like the idea of the h-bomb being inside the Swan. For some reason Sayid saying all that about concrete and Chernobyl... that was one of the first things to pop in my mind when Faraday said to bury it.

That would be great/make incredible amounts of sense

I would also kind of like to see the bomb in the swan, don't really expect it to be. But it would be neat.

Yeah, it's hard to tell. I've never been too good at making accurate predictions with this show at all haha, but sometimes I'll think of something or discuss something with friends and it'll end up being pretty close to what actually happens. So it's in the air, really. I'm not highly expecting the h-bomb to be inside the Swan, but if it is, it would be pretty cool.

Exactly, at least you discuss things that end up being pretty close to what happens in the show. When me and my friends talk about it it just goes way off the radar turning out to be something really ridiculous, not even close to what could ever happen on the show, haha.
