[Movie] L O S T [possible spoilers]

First hour was terrific, second hour was decent. I just wanted to address this for you fellow Losties:

Spoiler:

Am I the only one who still finds it COMPLETELY FUCKING RIDICULOUS that Juliet survived the fall down the mine shaft last season?

FELIPE NO

Dude. I kick myself in the ass every time I watch an episode. I should have never gotten sucked into this show. It disappoints me every time.

Spoiler:

FUCK Juliet. Bitch should have never survived.

Also, now not only do we have to do with survivors on the fucking island AFTER AN H-BOMB, we have to deal with a PARALLEL UNIVERSE where everyone never even ended up on the goddamn island (at which point I throw my hands up in the air and want tio punch a bitch.)

BUT WAIT! IT GETS BETTER!

Not only do we now have parallel universes, THREE LOCKE BODIES ON THE PLANET AT ONCE (what the fuck), and a Juliet that NEVER DIES until Sawyer touches her, JOHN LENNON AND A JAPANESE SAMURAI (or some shit) SHOW UP IN A MAYAN TEMPLE WITH THE FOUNTAIN OF FUCKING YOUTH IN THE HOUSES OF HEALING!

what. the. fuck.

this show.

Most amazing jew boots

Good show.

I thought I finally went deaf when

Spoiler:

you see her waking up in the jungle at the beginning

I really like this beginning. This is gonna be a great final season!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Extremely disappointing. The show is sometimes amazing and other times is just so disappointing with the shit they throw in some episodes just to drag us along. I like how they answered almost nothing these two episodes. The whole others temple thing was total garbage. In general, the whole episode I was saying fuck these airplane scenes, get me back to the island. In contrast, I didn't have a problem with the flash scenes in earlier seasons.

However, at least its not Heroes, which is the most fucked up show ever in terms of quality. Season 1 godly, becomes crap, becomes good, becomes crap, good, great, crap, three episodes later.. good. Now back to crap.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Woah, I got answers to all the things that got me intrigued me in season 5, all in the first two episodes. This season will kill. KILL!

Awesome stuff.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well...

Spoiler:

It was a very cool episode, lived up to the hype in my opinion. I do like the new characters (Lennon and the asian guy). Everything worked fine for me. I wish Juliet had a chance but then it's good to see James very pissed off. When he made Miles communicate with Juliet was awesome, just love the way he pushed him to the ground.

However it was kind of weird that Ben didn't have much screen time or having him had more significance for that matter. Other than that, I was really excited when Claire was in the same taxi as Kate, it caught me off guard and I just love it.

The cliffhanger is good too, definitely an episode that I'll be watching a lot until the new one comes up.

By the way yes, quit fagging up this thread. JJ Abrams hasn't been directly involved in the show since season one.

Now quit fagging up our thread.

It's because he ruined the masterpiece of social commentary that is Star Trek, which has never been and never should be about lasers pew pew pew. smokes pipe Furthermore,



Anyway. I enjoyed the premiere. Some observations:

Spoiler:

The point of divergence in the two timelines clearly isn't the plane crash, as I had previously predicted. Lots of things are different to the first time around. Hurley's in coach, Jack's in row 24 instead of 23, Boone's alone, Desmond is... Desmond, and Charlie is choking on a bag of smack instead of overdosing. On top of that, the actors all look a lot older and have bad hair. More importantly, the island is underwater. Hrmmmmm.

Glad to see some solid confirmation that smokey, Locke's impostor and the man in black are all one and the same. Lots of stuff resolved regarding him — the ring of ash around Jacob's cabin back in S3 is, in fact, a barrier against him, judging from what the dudes inside the statue and the temple were doing. Also, the judo bullshit he pulled on Richard was pretty unexpected and kind of awesome.

Lost has always done a pretty good job of working new characters in — Lennon and Japanese guy are both kickass. The whole thing with the temple still has me a little uneasy, though; I can't really bring myself to accept that the losties were on the island for two months and didn't even stumble across the walls of the damn thing. Hum.

THIS FUCKING SHOW. Kind of glad it's finally coming to a close, honestly. Shit, so far we've already had some HUGE answers and we've only seen an hour and a bit of the season that should (hopefully) clear up everything.

It'd be nice to know some more stuff about Libby while we're at it, seeing as we've been cock-teased about her since S2, and aside from her brief maybe-a-hallucination appearances in that one episode of S4, we've seen neither hide nor hair of her and we know fuck-all about where she comes from. Kind of a pedantic loose end to dwell on, but still.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've asked myself that same question numerous times.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I forgot how much fun watching Sawyer pout and Kate look sympathetic could be.

Final Season Of 'Lost' Promises To Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm actually really, really annoyed by the regular Lost fan too. I don't know why.

Maybe I watch the show for a different reason, since I don't see these conspiracies and confusion in the "plot" at all. It's a pretty straightforward, simple and boring story, but so entertaining.

I'm also annoyed by The Wire fans, I don't know why. I'll start watching the series soon, so I don't know what to expect.

Most amazing jew boots

The only people I know right now who watch Lost are just a bunch of guys who pay attention to the show and talk about what things could mean. Nothing more, nothing less.

Only dealings I've had with obnoxious fans were years ago, back during the first season, when I had zero interest in the series and everyone I knew who watched it paid more attention to OMG BOONE IS SO HOT than anything else. As soon as they killed off all the stupid sex appeal characters and actually focused on the sci-fi elements, all of those people stopped paying attention to the show and declared it boring. Whaddayaknow.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That clip was brought to mind only because recently I was that guy. Myself along with another co-worker were discussing the premier being only a day away when somebody listening in chimed, "Lost? That show blows." What followed was a series of plot points and quizzical expressions.

"All the women die before they can carry to term."
"John Locke isn't really John Locke."
"Oh yeah, there's time travel."

"How long can you have these people marooned on an island?"
"Oh, they were rescued."
"Well then what's the show about?"
"Oh, they went back."
"...Why?"
"Uh, that's not really clear yet. You really want us to shut up now, don't you?"

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How ya doing, buddy?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Soooo yea

I'm pretty sure that was the fountain of youth there. Turns out that the guy with glasses? The one who looks like Lennon? His name is Lennon. I thought that was kinda dumb. Not very peaceful of him to kill Sayid like that.

Also, how many of you guys called Sayid coming back from the dead?

So many zombies, man.

Meanwhile, I'm left wondering about Christian Shepard's role in this whole mess. Also, Claire. Where did she disappear to?

Man in Black possessed Locke's body, correct?

Locke came to the island in a coffin, correct?

Christian Shepard came to the island in a coffin, too.

Not sure what it all *means*, but I think we can pretty much conclude that the Man in Black was controlling Christian's body since the very beginning.

So if this is true, Christian Shepard becomes null and void as a living character?

Correct.

I can't figure out why he was being possessed but all signs point to it being the case. You'll notice that back in season 5, when Christian leads Sun and Lapidus to the Dharma 'hood, he tells them that Locke is coming. Then, when Locke arrives, Christian is nowhere to be found. Spooooooky!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That doesn't explain why Christian's body disappears and Locke's doesn't.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we have ever seen Christian's coffin on the island, the only thing we see are his white sneakers hanging on a tree on the very pilot episode, perhaps it was to imply that he was disappeared from the beginning.

Also, when Ilana takes Locke's body to the base of the statue we see that she and her group carry a really big box, much bigger than a coffin, perhaps to keep Locke's body from disappearing? I mean, who knows.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

S01E05, Christian's coffin is found empty by Jack near the caves.



So unless Locke is REALLY special somehow there's no reason his body shouldn't have gone poof from his coffin (which, coincidentally, hasn't been shown since the Ajira flight crashed).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The empty coffin was shown in season 1.

EDIT: Oh, I was beaten.

Might as well write something else here. Christian isn't a very integral part of the story in my opinion. And I think he's Claire's father. And he's also that Lennon guy.

I am waiting for the second the doppelgaengers of everyone meet. Would make for a hilarious sitcom if we found Jack wooing the wrong Kate. Or himself trying to be a bigger cock than himself - who will win the manliness contest? And who will be left sobbing in the rain with the ugliest grey t-shirt on.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Didn't even think of this!

No doppelganger for Christian. Doppelganger for Locke.

Does the fact that three Lockes are in existence at the same point in time freak anyone else out? When I said I wanted to see more of Locke, I didn't mean, like, MULTIPLE LOCKES.

Most amazing jew boots

I wouldn't count the flash-sideways Locke. It's a separate reality until they demonstrate otherwise. (I mean, the island in the alternate reality was under water. I didn't see anyone in the current reality breathing water.)
