L O S T [possible spoilers]
The old L O S T thread can be found here
So, since we finally have a new season to watch, let's talk about it. I must say that I like it very much so far. They didn't fuck up the first episodes of this season like they did with season 2 and 3. A lot of new faces, most of them are pretty much okay. Also, Jack has finally stopped to be a total faggot, that is pretty positive. Sayid in Germany was pretty cool, too, of It's definitely going to be an interesting season Jam it back in, in the dark. |
"Interesting?" I'm not looking forward to it at all.
I can't even sit through flash forwards, let alone knowing that six of the Losties are going to end up on the mainland. I'm glad that they finally decided to focus on Sayid, though. A little attention paid to the original characters is NICE. I'm sick of being introduced to insignificant, inconsequential characters. (After the whole Nikki and Paolo thing, I don't trust those motherfuckers at all.) I was really upset when I saw Ben was pulling the strings on that whole mission in Berlin. I'm convinced that this new "freighter" group is what's left of Dharma. (As evidenced by Charlotte in the desert with a polar bear corpse and a Dharma collar). Why I think I am so resentful to this new season is due to the fact that they've made me sit and wait 8 months, and I feel like the whole plot line is changing. It's moving fast, which is normally fine by me? But I am TERRIFIED they're going to overlook all the things that they've set up in the past and leave them unanswered. Fourth season, and we still don't know what that goddamn smoke monster is. I mean jesus christ, can we get any more ridiculous? I'm starting to question why I bother watching at all. I know they're going to break my heart. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
By the way, is it just me or is Hurley even fatter than before? I mean, this dude is so fat, you can barely see his face anymore
I was speaking idiomatically. |
And I agree that the plot is going south fast, every episode a new question pops, and none of the 3 previous seasons questions were awnsered, and what the heck are all the future flashes coliding after all? 3rd season jack was so keen in returning to the island, 4th season he's a normal citizen again... What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
As much as I want an answer to the smoke monster mystery, I know it won't happen until much later.
My main problem with the questions on this show is less that they aren't answered and more that they aren't ever fucking addressed. Am I the only one who feels that if I saw a flying cloud of death-smoke, I would not stop talking about it? The problem is that a ton of these mysteries go ignored by the cast, and that, if you ask me, is just poor writing. Granted, my friend who is a huge Lost fan tells me that they never knew when the show would end, so they didn't want to address anything until they had a finalized show schedule. Regardless, it was relieving to hear Locke say point blank "what is the smoke monster" a few episodes ago. I think the "man on their boat" Ben was referring to is none other than Michael. I'll bet money on it. As much as I don't really like the direction the story is going, I think this season is off to a fantastic start. Unlike season 3 (which I think is the weakest), it has a definitive seasonal arc. Season 3 was a train wreck with no clear direction. Season 2 atleast had the seasonal arc involving the hatch, which is why I loved it. Season 4 is shaping up to be the season that centers on getting the 'Oceanic 6' off the island, so I'm happy it has some structure. How ya doing, buddy? |
Imagine this, you and your friends are camping somewhere, for a whole week, no phone, no way of coming back, yada yada, on the first day, ya'll see a flying cardbox who kills a bear, now, honestly awnser, how many days you think you can talk about the box before one of your friends just say "enough with the box already!" It's normal human behaviour, and the writers are right on not over using the question, and because if every couple of episodes someone asks about it, and no one awnsers it, the viewer is gonna be pisst and loose interest. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I too was relieved when Locke said something about the smoke monster. $20 says they're going to explain it away by saying it's Jacob's spirit or some shit. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I'm not saying they should discuss the mysteries at length every episode, but you don't find it odd that these people encountered a fucking flying smoke monster and didn't atleast say "hmm, that was weird" ?
I read a really great theory about Jacob and the smoke monster on a Lost forum. Pretty far fetched, but pretty air-tight in terms of logic holes too. I have it spoilered here, complete with awesome drawings the guy did: Spoiler:
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Jesus CHRIST, Sprout. That is one goddamned far-fetched theory.
But like you said....it makes sense. Far-fetched and insane, but really, a pretty good explanation, if you like that sort of thing. I kind of hope that's how it goes. It's totally true about The Stand/Lost have these insane parallels - you can see it as early as season 1. I hope there's some truth to that theory. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
How about a spoiler warning in the thread title?
I love the new season so far. New characters are actually pretty awesome. I thought Dan simply had a shitty actor at first, but after about ten minutes I realised that the acting was intentional. Good all around. It's keeping me gripped as ever. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

Thx for the link :-)

So how does this grand theory explain that Ben aged at a normal rate but not Richard?

Really enjoying the season so far. I like the new characters somewhat. Dan's great, as is the pilot. The other two I just want to bugger off and die somewhere. Why can't they make another decent English character? Hell can we just have Charlie back?
I'm seriously rooting for Locke's group, if not for the fact that it has all the best characters in it bar Sayid and Desmond (who are now off to the freighter anyway. I expect them to royally fuck that boat over when they discover the Boaties true intentions). Hoping that Sawyer and Locke stay alive, although things look bad for Sawyer. I just know they're gonna do the whole "noble sacrifice" thing and he'll die to save Kate or something equally shit.

O my, the first episode this season I loved!
Spoiler:
Next week looks doubly good. I love Desmond. How ya doing, buddy? |
It was an okay one for a Kate focused episode, but, typically, the Kate-centric are the worst ones.

One nice thing about these flashforwards is that they are posing very interesting questions. The Oceanic 6, the fact that they are telling this blatant fabrication about what happened, Aaron... They're all very cool questions that we can be assured that we'll see a resoution to soon. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Does this mean Aaron counts as one of the Six?
We can basically rule out that Kate was actually pregnant--simply because she isn't dead. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
FELIPE NO |
I wonder why people aren't wondering about the age of the baby, and the timing. I would think that there would be people other than the Marshall who were investigating Kate and aware of her crimes, yet nobody wondered why she wasn't pregnant at the time of the flight and now suddenly seems to have a baby?
Then again time seems to move at different rates on and off the island... How ya doing, buddy? |
Although very interesting, this story keeps getting more twists and not enough answers...
I'm beggining to wonder what Ben did once he sided with the "hostiles" and why are the "hostiles" against the Dharma initiative. Spoiler:
Jam it back in, in the dark.
Not six....more like half a dozen...
