just remembering these things
the Black Rock
4-toed statue foot
Mr. Eko and that crashed plane
the polar bear
the numbers
etcah, the good old days of sheer puzzlement and confusion.
Enjoying the show even more now though. I'm a sucker for time travel. Nice to see the smoke monster again too.One thing that's annoying: why does nobody ever mention anything to anyone, or question and try to figure out WTF is going on? You'd think they'd communicate a little better. . .

whaaat
(More of a set-up episode. Kind of boring, actually, as they focused on the Oceanic 6).

this episode was a disappointment compared to the previous ones from this season.

No way.. This episode ruled. It's hinting pretty damn hard at what's going on here.
- still boring
:Pjuhls - I realize some information was given out, like with the other episodes this season, but Jack = horrendously boring.juhls

- i'm liking Jack more now because of this episode. Still have the hate for Kate, thoughlocustsloth

I loved that Hurley was reading "Y: The Last Man" at the airport.

This episode and the next is filler explaining storylines they need that they didn't have or cover yet. I think Faraday's mother and the explanation she offers is kind of over-the-top and too much drama. Plus, dude, Kate just can't get enough... Can't we leave the soap-opera content alone?

^You have to admit the scene where she shows up and says "Don't ever ask me where Aaron is," was pretty funny. He has a look of "fine, i honestly don't fuckin care anyway," and then just bones her. I was dying after that.

Yeah, what the hell was that? He honestly doesn't care, as long as she goes with him, hahaha

i just want the flashback episode where ben goes after penny (as he obviously got knocked around a bit, probably by desmond) and see if either of those two survived.

This week's episode sort of threw everything wide open again...how could they land on the island without crashing the plane? is the island even a real place?
Personally, I'm hoping the show has some kind of total surprise ending instead of just the time travel/ electromagnetic explanation.

When this last episode all averages out, it was a pretty damn good one.
First the bad: MY GOD was the whole pendulum, Mrs. Hawking speech fucking stupid!!!! The Mrs. Hawking i remember from when Desmond met her seemed much less Mary Poppins-sih, more dire, and mysterious. i half expected her to break into a chorus of "A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Airplane Go DOwn"
And the Kate love scene was unnecessary and dumb.
BUT, the rest i liked:
Jack waking up in the forest like he did after the first crash was relly cool and the mere fact that they're back on the island already is also cool (i thought they wouldn't get to that until at least the end of this season).
And this show is like an accordian of mysteries. It squeezes, giving us answers to mysteries already seen, lowering the number of things we don't know. Then it expands, adding new mysteries, such as:
• Who fucked Ben up? (i'm guessing Desmond, like colin_s said)
• Where IS Aaron?
• How did Sayid get himself arrested and sent to Guam?
• Did Hurley get flight instructions from ghost-Charlie?
• What's with Caesar, the guy who offered condolences to Jack and sat across from Hurley?
• Is Lapidus alive or will i have to kill some of the writing staff?
• If the water bottle in the canoe was from this flight, were those survivors from Flight 316 shooting at Locke, Sawyer, Juliet, et al a couple episodes back?darkufo.blogspot.com always has a "Things i noticed" article after every episode that's really interesting to read and doesn't give any spoilers.
Also, i think they were right to switch this episode with the next, which is going to be Locke's story of what happened when he got off the island all the way until he died. Can't wait to see that next week.

Hmm...the more I think about it, the more I realize this episode wasn't THAT boring. But first impressions do count.
Anyway:
- the theory about Desmond hitting Ben is a good one.
- LOL @ Ben when he says "Who cares." after Jack asks him about the rest of the passengers on the plane.- Did they really show Ben watching Locke kill himself? I find that to be absolutely hilarious (after he denied knowing about it to Jack). I downloaded the episode online, and didn't bother to download the "proper" torrent (the ones that sometimes come out later with fixes) because it's usually a very minor fix, like a glitch / stutter. So I must've missed a few scenes.

Do you guys there will be some big epiphany at the end of all this?
Or just some convoluted shit about time travel, destiny etc.
- it's Lost, everything is some big epiphany. heroes will end with bullshit. lost will end awesome.********

We have a giant Lost email chain at my agency. This was a drunken, but coherent rant I had written. Felt worth posting here.
I for one never feel like this time-travel arc was involved from the beginning of the show, but rather, was painfully forced into the overall plot over the last 2 seasons. There's just too many issues I have right now with everything that's been going on. One of my biggest issues I brought up a few episodes ago.
That, everyone ON the island, as well as Ben, keep re-iterating how the Oceanic 6 MUST return to the island, yet never once has this ever been explained. The characters frustratingly just keep complaining that all of the problems are a result of the 6 leaving, yet their departure had no real effect whatsoever on ANYTHING that has happened thus far. Every single issue that has occured since Season 4 is a direct result of Ben moving the island, and the wheel-mechanism being shifted off its axis.
But these issues go back to the freighter itself. WHY didn't Ben allow Michael to blow up the ship? This problem has never been touched on since, yet it is the ENTIRE reason EVERYTHING has turned to shit. Freighters came, killed tons of people, Ben panicks, moves island, sends island into a time-disarrayed crash course... The oceanic 6 never would have even left if Ben didn't simply destroy the freighter when he had ample chance. And when they DID leave, it had zero effect on anything. Yet NO ONE in the show questions this. They simply quietly buy into this idea that it's their fault and they should return.
Another issue: Where is the old Jack? The one who took action? He's been spending the last 10 episodes with his puffy hair, sort of just wandering about, barely mustering any emotion above a sneer, and otherwise wimpering around and pleading with people.
Another issue: Why do the Oceanic 6 have to go through such ridiculous efforts to return to the island? They have the coordinates, that should be enough. Why? Because the Dharma never had to orchestrate bizarre flights with guitars and handcuffs and dead people's shoes. They just had coordinates, then came and went AS THEY PLEASED, recruiting people, and constantly shipping people to and from the island.
What about how Richard Alpert would routinely leave the island, to interview Juliette, or go scout out her sister and videotape her for Ben? Then he'd return without problems. Same with many of the Others. And what about DESMOND? He was just flailing around in a damned SAILBOAT and stumbled onto the island. No special mathematical coordinates. No preparation. Yet, for some reason, the oceanic 6 have to go through all of this silly stuff when the island actually WANTS them back on it. Why? It seems completely superfluous. Like the writers added it in for no reason. It just adds a silly level of complexity without any real benefit.
The fact is, almost EVERYONE thus far on the island BESIDES the survivors have had zero difficulty in EVER getting to and from the island. The worst the process ever sounded was via Ethan when he said "the ride is bumpy".
My last huge issue is how the show has taken a huge massive dump on all of the other survivors. Sure, we only never saw a select group of survivors in the entire show's history, but they never made the other 40+ people seem like such expendable, stupid bags of waste in the first 2 seasons, as they have now. You know things got bad back when the freighters attacked the Barracks and they were getting shot down like toy ducks while Sawyer runs around in the open with Claire unscathed.
Now, they randomly get blown up or killed en masse by flaming arrows, or completely disappear altogether. Just to make things easier, so we can stare at Sawyer and Juliette all day? FUCK!

Is Penny dead on Lost?!
Ausiello: Penny, on the other hand, definitely falls under the "ish" category. And even more ominous than the big fat target on her forehead is the fact that her portrayer, Sonya Walger, has landed the lead role in a new ABC pilot that, appropriately enough, is already drawing comparisons to Lost. The show is called Flash Forward and it's based on Robert J. Sawyer's apocalyptic tome that chronicles the mass chaos that comes after everyone on the planet blacks out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. The flash forward part applies to the vision of the future that everyone experiences during the blackout. But even if ABC orders the show to series, as many expect it will, that doesn't mean Walger is done with Lost. Quite the contrary. As a well-placed Lost insider tells me, "She will juggle both shows."
oh i bet it's true

I've followed the show through ups and downs all the way to now but I reckon it's hit rock bottom. Heroes too.
