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? |
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. |
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. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Yeah, this was definitely one of the top 5 episodes of the entire series, I think. Lots of great shit going on, and it was just incredibly well-made. The sound design when Desmond was going in and out of the past was superb.
Lost hasn't been this great in a LONG time. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
That. Was. Brilliant.
I agree Jazz, between this and the Desmond episode, these have been two of the best episodes of the entire series. The flashback/flashforward trick was GENIUS, and very very well-implemented. It wasn't a gimmick, and it totally served the story. Fucking pumped about this show again <3 How ya doing, buddy? |
Conception is different than birth, Dope.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
That's a real good point, Sousuke. I never really registered that until you brought it up just now.
Any thoughts on how Ben can produce 300+ bodies and a whole bunch of airplane wreckage? I think this has to do with the "magic box" he told Locke about last season, and I also think the monster is somehow connected to it all. FELIPE NO |
How ya doing, buddy? |
Random text goes here to avoid people seeing potential spoilers in the top 5 on the main page
Thom's gayness has never been fully revealed, but boy (pun intended) did they make it obvious last season when he say naked Kate and said "you aren't my type hur hurr" I liked the episode, but was indeed pissed about Rousseau. I have a feeling she's not dead, somehow. The writers told us that we'd get a flashback for her, and we haven't gotten one yet... Hmm... Jam it back in, in the dark. |
The extras being offed was remarkably dumb. That entire action scene was as stupid as it gets. 3 bullets kills 3 people, yet a flurry of gunfire can't even fucking touch Sawyer when he's running in front of a white picket fence? Yeah, okay.
Other than that baffling scene, everything was great. Glad to see smokey come back, with a hint that maybe we'll find out more about it in the coming weeks with Jacob. Pumped... This season is by far my fave. And Sass, good news - We get to watch the finale together in Maine <3 How ya doing, buddy? |
Some random thoughts on last night's episode:
Spoiler:
That's all. Good episode! How ya doing, buddy? |
I'm just curious to see how they get off the island. Only a few weeks! Most amazing jew boots |
Looks like Dope is out of luck
This was a good episode, but the worst of the season. On it's own, it was meh, but as a buildup to the finale? It was fucking brilliant. I don't know how the hell the Oceanic 6 are going to get off the island, what with all of them being spread to different parts of the island/ocean and all that. It's gonna be thrilling seeing how that happens. However... I fear something is going to come in the finale that will make Sass cry at the meet. Spoiler:
Can't wait! I was speaking idiomatically. |
They are FAR more likely to kill Sawyer than Desmond. I will put that on the line right now.
Desmond's entire story is being built on his eventual reunion with Penny. To put the kibosh on that would be suicidal. They would never kill off a character unless his or her arc and/or story was satisfied. This is the same reason I don't think Claire is dead. To deny her and Jack the scene where they BOTH find out they're related would be a huge kick in the pants to the audience. That's a scene we are ALL craving. The only time they killed someone before they should have, in my opinion, was when they killed Libby and then showed her in Hurley's flashback. That was just plain stupid, since they set up something possibly big and then never spoke about it again. Also, I'm still raw over killing Mr. Eko, but only because he was a fascinating and amazingly badass character. Everyone else who died had served their purpose. Believe me, I'd hate to see Sawyer die too. He always provides easy laughs and is fucking awesome in general. I just think that if we're going to see anybody die, and we usually do in a finale, it's going to be him. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Michael WON'T die, since he can't, as evidenced by his episode earlier this season when he tried killing himself numerous times and discovered he couldn't. I guess the only one who has a shot at death is Jin, considering all we've seen in terms of his grave stone, Sun saying he's dead in the press conferences and stuff, but I'm under the assumption that Jin's death is being covered up, so who knows. Hey, maybe nobody will die. I'm most interested in seeing how they move the island. That's gonna fuck with my mind. FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I don't recall her saying that... I DO remember her saying something along the lines of her needing to fulfill a promise she made to him, though.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Season 5 poster has been revealed. Fairly standard fare, but with the season premiere drawing ever closer, I think it warranted the massive bump.
Personally, I don't know what to expect this season. I *loved* Season 4 after I despised Season 3. I'm not too sure if I am thrilled with the direction they've taken it, with a bunch of the Losties off the island and the rest still on it. The seasonal arc is already well-known, with the season being devoted to the gang off the island trying to get back. Based solely on that, it sounds like it will be somewhat of a filler season, kinda like Season 3. Either way, I'm pumped beyond belief. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Personally, I think his death is being covered up. Hopefully we'll get some answers this season. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Killing off Abbadon was retarded. They'd better do some more explaining of him through flashback, because otherwise one of the more mysterious figures of the show just got an incredibly untimely death. I was speaking idiomatically. |
How ya doing, buddy? |
I just don't feel into it this season. I assume it's building to something big. The problem is, they aren't doing much building. Shit's just happening. And I'm bored. I feel like I watch the show out of obligation rather than being excited for it like I used to be. FELIPE NO |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
This was probably my favorite episode of the season. For the first time in a long time I was actually entertained throughout, not to mention the episode was hugely satisfying from a character and mythology perspective. Seriously, this episode was nigh-perfect.
