LOST (the tv show)

[thebridge15]

:lol:lol:lol

the only girl i really liked on the show was claire

kate was annoying. sun was annoying. boone's sister was annoying


they didn't really have that many main female charactersThe female LOST characters were really hit or miss for me. I liked Penny, Rousseau, Alex and Juliet and hated Claire, Kate, Sun, Shannon, Rose, and Ana Lucia.

[junior94]

Btw, since this is already being bumped here a couple times, this was likely brought up at the time but I'll mention it for those who missed it anyway... I believe it was in the season 6 DVD set (not to be confused with the complete series set) that I don't have, but I heard about, there was a letter included that pretty much answered the season 5 question of who was in the other side of the outrigger shootout as some of the Black Rock crew members, so in that particular time flash they were in the late 1880's somewhere.

[comerelaxnow]

You guys ever notice that the Dharma Van is the same EXACT van that drove up and shot Doc Brown in Back To The Future?? Ha!

[dmbredsox36]

So I'm making my way back through the show from the beginning and we're towards the end of Season 2, when Michael shoots Ana Lucia and Libby, and the one thing that really annoyed me was how long could it possibly have taken from the time Locke tells Jack about Ana Lucia and the time they get back to the hatch?! It can't be THAT far away that if they hurried, they couldn't have gotten back before all that went down. I know in the grand scheme why it had to happen, but just a little something that bothered me. One of several things to come I'm sure. Haha

[dh4645]

And on a totally different note, and I admit this is a bit of a tongue in cheek, cynical view of things, but the idea at the very end is that these certain pairings of Jack & Kate, of Sawyer & Juliet were the true soulmates of each other and thus were brought together in the afterlife so that they could "move on" together, finally. And yet, you think about it, theoretically Kate and Sawyer could've had VERY long lives to live back in the real world once they escaped the island for the last time in the finale, hell they could've each lived another 50+ years, and it's not crazy to think in all that time they each could have met someone else and had a very long and fulfilling marriage with that person, far far longer than they knew Jack or Juliet, respectively. And yet when they finally die, it's not that other spouse they 'move on' with. If I was Kate's potential post-island husband I'd be pissed she dumped me for another dude when she died :lol

haha, i see your point.
but what happened on the island was so life changing, they had to end up together.
we always knew jack was for kate

The only problem when you fly through the show that fast is that it ends so fast. Before you know it you're gonna be hitting season 6 and the finale. It's never the same after the first time (obviously).

True but I already have an idea of how it ends. Unfortunately, as much as I tried to stay away from it, there was just too much conversation about it when it happened to not know anything.

I do like it like this though because I don't have to wait a week to see the next episode of six months for a season premiere. That would be torture.

[Styx Cover Band]

I'm rewatching Season 6 on Blu Ray (got it for Christmas) and it looks insanely good. Actually almost too good. There will be times they have a close up of the actors face and I'll get distracted because of a blemish or something out of place, ie I just watched Ab Aeterno last night and everytime they had a close up of Richard's face I could see all the white in his dark beard

Kate having Aaron and calling him her son. :freak

[junior94]

It was pretty crazy. I would have hated waiting an entire off-season to get to season 4.

Yea that all was a majorly defining time in the show's life. It was toward the end of the 3rd season that Damon & Carlton successfully negotiated the (largely unprecedented) move of setting the definitive end date of the show for 6 seasons, so essentially greenlighting in one shot the next 3 (& final) seasons of the show. Though actually it was looked at more in terms of number of hours in which to tell the rest of the show, but it was huge, because while they already had the broad strokes sort of down from the start of what they wanted to do with the full arc of the show, knowing exactly how many individual hours they had remaining over the course of 3 "seasons" allowed them to get much more specific in what rate and pace they'd do the rest of the show. And the break from s3 to s4 was supposed to then be where they'd start the new format of taking the much longer break off (as you say, 8 months) not coming back til like January but then doing each new episode back to back straight thru til the finale of that particular season. The irony being that during season 4 is when the WGA strike hit, so they wound up with fewer hours to do with the s4 arc that they'd planned and accordingly had to restructure the pace of some of the stories.


And of course, the one other very small, minor and inconsequential detail about that period was only the introduction of the concept of flashFORWARDS (!) being used in the season 3 finale :p

(at the time in the press, leading up to the s3 finale Carlton in some interview had just said "there's one more important event from Jack's past that we have to show the audience to tell his overall story", this was the party line to still hide the whole flashforward notion from us until show night)

[junior94]

And one of the early smaller clues you can look back on and notice during Jack's whole off-island story there to it being a flashforward is when the other doctor first talks to Jack, the head of the surgery department he introduces himself and says to Jack "oh yea the hero, twice over, now". I guess upon first viewing you wouldn't really think much about that, but in retrospect you realize he's talking about this burning car on the bridge that happened the night before, and obviously the "first" hero instance being the 815 story of him helping people from the wreckage.

[junior94]

Okay I'm going to bump an old request here of mine, because I'm poor and have literally no shame whatsoever. :lol If anyone would have a way of just getting me the audio portion from the commentary tracks from each of the season 6 episodes that had ones recorded for them, I'd be more grateful than I can tell you. I'm just really dying to hear the commentaries for those ones, that I think was for like 5 different episodes right? thanks.

[junior94]

So excited, finally found this one Blockbuster location like 5-7 miles away from me (the other 2 closest ones for years now both shut down lately) that had all five discs of the season 6 DVD set to rent, and at a really cheap rate so I was finally able to get a hold of them. Can't wait to finally hear the commentary of D&C on Across The Sea tonight!! :)

[I'mOnGreyStreet]

Anyone who is watching the show for the first time, don't click the spoiler. I'm re-watching the series due to lack of good television, and wanted to comment on a theory from season 2.


Wow, just finished the episode and it was brilliant as ever. It's amazing how so much can happen in an hour.


My theory: They were all handpicked to end up on the island by some super-secret government. They were all "guided" to that flight, the plane was led off course then downed on that spot by the super-secret dudes. Desmond works for them and he was shadowing Jack while they were running, to see if Jack was right for the island. Some sort of wicked experiments going on.


The more I watch, the more I go crazy.

Really impressive theory considering it was just after the first episode of season 2.

Actually, Im curious to hear anyone's reaction who didnt watch season 6 on TV and instead ripped through them on DVD/BD. Because one of the worst things about season 6, to me, was the pacing. With only one hour a week and tremendous anticipation, getting hit with episodes like What Kate Does and Recon was a total shot in the nuts for longtime viewers.

I remember, especially when that video leaked of the first hour, that was someone filming the big screen on the beach for the fan screening down in Hawaii, how right at that time I wished I could just be cryogenically frozen and woken up in June so I could wake up, go to the TV and watch all of season 6 in one straight shot, it would've been instantaneous for me :lol

Alright so I have about 4 episodes left in Season 5, then it's on to 6. But I needed to ask a couple questions for my own sake, I think my mind is slipping from understanding the last couple seasons. lol

1. Now with Locke being 'alive' again, am I right in saying that the MIB has taken over his body? Or is there a point where that happens? Or is Flocke like the other 'dead' people we've seen wandering around, only with a special loophole because he's left and came back so MIB can use him to kill Jacob? It's frustrating me I can't remember the explanation.

2. And while we're on the topic of dead people, who's responsible for the visions of Christian, Walt, Hurley's psych ward friend, etc? MIB or Jacob?

Thanks for the help! It's been a much more enjoyable ride this time through with no commercials and episodes one right after another. Looking forward to The End. :)

1. Yes, it's MIB as Locke. It happens when Ajira crashes, he appears as Locke, but he is not in Lockes body (as you'll see in the finale). And MIB is not using his appearance as Locke to physically kill Jacob, he's just using it to trick someone...

2. I think I read somewhere from someone involved in the show that anyone who had a vision of a dead person, besides Hurley, was seeing MIB. Hurleys visions all actually dead people manifesting themselves (except his friend Dave, I think that was MIB).

And #2 makes sense that if he can appear as locke, then he'd be the one that appeared as the other people that had died. Thanks for the help ~

didn't Jack have a convo with MIB at some point and asked him "2nd day here I saw my dad in the jungle..was that you?" and MIB says yes. I vagule remember a convo like that.

[magic stuff]

Yes, but there was always some inconsistencies that suggested it wasn't always MIB. Sometimes there would be whispers (which we eventually were told the meaning of, and only Hurley could see these people), sometimes they would just appear, and sometimes they would appear after we heard the smoke monster clicking noise.

I can't find the interview but some actor or producer said that it was safe to assume that unless Hurley was the person seeing the dead person, it was MIB. It's still weird though that sometimes they were accompanied by smoke monster noises and other times not.

Season six starts tomorrow. :multi

[JMcCartyFBI]

Got the encyclopedia for my mom for Christmas, spent most of the holiday reading it myself, and then forgot to look for the one question that's still bugging me. That would be, did they ever come up with an explanation of how Christian appeared to Michael on the freighter?

It was pretty definitively stated that MiB couldn't leave the island unless it was really close by like Hydra. They kind of wormed their way out of when Jack saw Christian in LA after he was rescued by saying that he was a delusion brought on by Jack's meds, but that still leaves Michael and the Kahana as the only other time Christian was seen off the island.

There's probably no answer, and it's just a shame that they didn't know what Christian was far enough in advance to avoid the plot hole, but maybe someone came up with a creative work-around.

[junior94]

The single biggest sticking point I have after all this time, that I was waiting to get further commentary on to explain it some that never came, is what in the hell happened in that cabin in season 3, that's bugged me the most. That was played at the time like a major mythological moment, and I have little idea as to what the hell went down. I mean, I guess that "presence" was the Man In Black in some way, but the single eyeball? The blink-and-you-miss-it shot of the old man sitting in the chair? Why everything went nuts when Locke turned on his flashlight?


Far as I can figure the only enlightenment we got later in the series about that scene is Ben finally admitted to Locke (I think in s4) that he was indeed faking for Locke's benefit, he didn't really see an invisible Jacob and knew he was talking to an empty chair.

[scrock25]

I loved the ending, but for people that breezed through the show in a matter of months, I can understand why they wouldn't like it.
I caught up with LOST in about a month and a hlf and i ended up being able to watch the finale live and i still liked it. But i probably liked it cause a friend told me the show was about characters not answers before i started.

[tankdan]

I enjoyed interpreting the ending in two ways:

1: The whole Season 6 arc, flash sideways or whatever, I like to think that it was an alternate universe kind of thing. I don't like the heaven-thing at all. It's much more satisfying to think that it was an alternate universe and they "remembered" everything that happened on the island in our universe.

2: Don't hate me, but for those few seconds after the series finale, where they showed the empty beach, I loved thinking that the whole thing didn't happen, that the plane never crashed. I know it was just filler until local news, but I still enjoyed those few moments.

[breckbrew]

I like how that threw everyone off too. Everyone was reading so much into those final beach scenes, when they were really just meant to be a cool down period. A lot of people just watched their 6 season investment end; those last few shots on the beach helped close things up for me.

[Beefsteak1138]

It wasn't even on purpose though. Those ending shots were put there by the network (not the Lost writers/producers) to soften the transition between the finale and the evening news.

Yeah, and for not really being a planned part of the whole thing, I thought it worked really well.

Edit: Man, I need to watch this show again.

[scrock25]

I agree, I've got I-IV on DVD and V-VI on BRD and really really just want to sit down at night for like 2 weeks and watch the whole thing again, but that's not happening. Me and the wife are trying to get through the Sopranos right now, so I don't really see time to start/get through LOST again as well. Not to mention, Sheena wasn't at the level of fandom that I was with the show.

Do you have all the Soprano's season? I have 1-5 on DVD if you want to borrow them.

[scrock25]

Borrowing the entire DVD boxed set from some friends. Not BRD, but it'll do.

[Beefsteak1138]

Nice. I rewatched them once but can't see myself doing it again. I'd think about selling them but they're not worth much.

[scrock25]

Right, that's what we're doing. We already watched the series when it was on "live", but just wanted to catch the whole thing one more time because it's so fucking good. Like you said, I probably wouldn't find myself watching it again in the very near future.

[Beefsteak1138]

I tried rewatching Lost via Netflix but the quality is too bad. I'm going to hold out for the blu-rays.

[scrock25]

I saw the BRD Boxed Set at Best Buy and just about shit my pants.

I wanted it sooo bad but it was just way too much money.

[Beefsteak1138]

I figure I'll wait a year or so, then pick it up on the amazon marketplace for relatively cheap.

[breckbrew]

Anyway we can lease the BRD box set?

[Dramageek]

Anyone have the complete series Blu-Ray box set? Is it worth it?

[scrock25]

Anyone have the complete series Blu-Ray box set? Is it worth it?

I'm a huge fucking fan, big as they come, and couldn't bring myself to drop 2/300 hundge on something that's going to sit around that I'll probably never get to watching all the way through again.

I'm fine with 4 seasons on DVD and the last 2 on BRD. If I feel like it maybe one of these days I'll replace the first 4 seasons I have on DVD with BRD, but that's about it.

[Beefsteak1138]

If you buy the seasons individually from amazon, you can get the complete series for about $140 or so.

Rewatching the series with friends who havent seen it

its so awesome to know what happens in the final season and see how the writers knew

[breckbrew]

I wish ABC could replay the entire series in primetime.

[Beefsteak1138]

That would be mint.

[scrock25]

Would be awesome, right?

I suppose it really wouldn't take too long if you're watching one episode a week like they would be on television. Would only take a bit over 2 years.

[breckbrew]

And it's not like they have any stellar programming on now anyway.

Edit: Except for modern family and cougar town. And maybe wipeout.

[parkmandrill]

And it's not like they have any stellar programming on now anyway.

true. I bet Lost will eventually re-air

[scrock25]

You think so? On prime-time?? Has that ever happened where an entire series is re-aired in a prime-time slot???

Or are you just talking like in syndication? I know they were showing the series on Sy-Fy during the day for a while.

I mean on the level of Seinfeld reruns

[scrock25]

Oh oh oh, right.

[Beefsteak1138]

It'll get bought and aired by a cable network, methinks. Even Sopranos did, but that was godawful to watch edited.

[scrock25]

Godawful isn't doing what that station did to The Soprano's any justice at all.

[Beefsteak1138]

I mean, I didn't expect to to be any good but even with those low expectations it was worse than I thought.

[Joruus]

Nice. Maybe this is the way to go. Does the box set have any extra bells and whistles that would justify it?

The only real bell it has is an extra disc hidden under the map. The rest is just filler.

definitely, when things get moving fast there's a little bit of pixelation (cable and streaming stuff), blu ray doesn't have that. and audio, blu ray has like what, 8 channels i think? crazy.

[Beefsteak1138]

edit: I have FIOS so it's definitely not my connection speed.

Wii doesn't support HD Netflix Streaming, so that's the issue.

I had never seen an episode of this until Christmas. Saw it on Netflix instant and went to town. Just finished the finale tonight. What a great show.

[pathetic]

Watching season 1 again. Walkabout and white rabbit are so good

got through 4 eps and she says that i can tell her whats going on if i want. hah. nope she has to be cnfused like the rest of us wereo

I have a number of TV series on DVD. I can never make time to re-watch them. I start and then I never finish.

This right here.

Edit: What I've been thinking of doing is taking a night each week (the same night every week) and watching one episode per. Kind of like the normal TV schedule when it was airing "live", only I wouldn't break for summers/holidays.

It would still take 2+ years to finish as there are 100+ episodes, but that seems to me to be the best way of doing it. Instead of just trying to hammer through the series in chunks.

i watch a bunch of shows when they are on every week (well on the dvr the day later or the weekend after), but i also love hammering through shows in chunks. doing that now with BSG on netflix streaming. 2 more eps in season 2.5!

I thought about doing that before. If I buy a new TV 46-55 inches in the next couple of months that'll make it easier too. Also will make it a lot more exciting to play my 360 the way I should.

Okay that bad news is, that JJ Abrams produced "Odd Jobs" pilot reteaming Emerson & O'Quinn has been sorta pushed back til next year's pilot season. But the good news is Emerson's been cast in this new pilot "Persons Of Interest" that Abrams is doing together with Jonathon Nolan (Chris' brother). It's for CBS, Jim Caviezel is playing a former CIA agent and Emerson's sort of his boss, this uber-rich guy. And from what I read if it goes to series and goes into 2012, Odd Jobs will likely get recast, or just die altogether.

Though to be perfectly honest I sort of look at Caviezel's casting as a bit of bad news as well, not a big fan of the guy. He's barely got a pulse. And hey maybe we'll get lucky and Terry will wind up with some supporting recurring role on this show :)

[junior94]

Help me out here guys, I have to see if I'm missing something. EW's newest cover story is "Life After LOST", what the main cast and creators are now up to. Here's part of the blurb from Damon.

"I expected that I would stop thinking about it as much, but I still think about it all the time -- in a very healthy way," he says. "Since we wrote the finale, I have not had a single Lost thought, like, 'Hey I just had an idea for a cool story for flashback!'"


Do those two statements not directly contradict one another?

Well, the more I think about it, that makes sense, but let me put it this way -- I don't feel bad or stupid that I read it as I did. :lol It's still a little ambiguous.


Btw, it seems like O'Quinn's biggest project since has been a Lifetime TV movie. that's just wrrrrroooong. (but again, he does have that new pilot role I mentioned above coming up)

[Useliteski]

reading the first page of this thread is too funny. so long ago haha.

Well as my March Madness brackets failed on an embarrassing level over the weekend I decided it was time for round 3 and popped in Season 1 and am flying through it again. I really miss this show.

[lockman21]

I'm rewatching the whole show. I'm almost done with season 1. Holy hell, I forgot how incredible the last 5 or so episodes of season 1 are.

rewatching this. already have goosebumps

[jmkratt]

Wow, forgot how much of a douche Walt's Mom & Brian were.

[Useliteski]

it's amazing how so many more things make sense the second time. i love this show to death

[magic stuff]

I'm close to starting this again. Just don't have the balls right now, cuz I can't afford to get sucked into this right now :lol

I really want to pace myself and watch no more than 2 episodes in a day, to make the experience last longer (no homo), but I know I'll end up watchin 4 a day or something ridiculous.

[jcc522]

Just finished the whole thing for the first time. Not sure what to think about the ending. Jungle Claire is hot.

[Useliteski]

i thought the ending was the best part about the entire series. it proved the show was way more about the characters than anything else. the writers and the producers here created a group of likable characters and developed them so completely and fully to the point where we were attached to them no matter what the circumstances were. I for one know thats why i kept watching past the first season. Never in my short life have i ever watched a show where i have felt so strongly about a group of people, and the ending was more of a homage to the time they spent together than a resolution or a conclusion. Many questions were left untended to regarding the island, but i got a feeling the show's writers wanted us to feel that way.

i doubt i'll ever love a show as much as i do this one.

My favorite is Desmond, I would be his Penny anytime! :hump

Funny, my two favorite characters aren't even part of the main cast. Jack was pretty awesome too.

[Useliteski]

John Locke was my favorite character. I used to stay up for hours after Lost staring at the ceiling wishing i was as cool as he was. I forget who it was on the show that points out that Locke was the only one that realized what a pathetic life he had off the island, but that really hit me pretty hard.

After reading the last few pages of this thread I finally decided to start rewatching. I'm not sure if I'll watch the entire series all the way through again but I probably will. I have watched the first 2/3 of Season 1 in the past 10 days or so. I am hooked all over again. The first season is so damn good, even when you know what is coming.

I am pretty sure this video has been posted in here before but this really jumped out at me when I was watching Walkabout last night. Great foreshadowing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHfSaBspid4

My roommate is about to watch the show and I'm probably gonna watch it with him whenever I can. I want to try something and see how he likes it, but I'm not sure the proper placement.

Across the Sea: looking back, even though the episode wasn't as bad as it's initial viewing had a lot of people thinking, it clearly was in the wrong spot for season 6. I want to have him watch that episode earlier on, but I don't know when. I'm leaning towards either before or after Ab Aeterno. What do y'all think?

[jmkratt]

OK I am watching Everyone Hates Hugo from season 2. At the beginning when Hurley's in the hatch he starts stuffing his face. He chugs a bunch of milk from a milk carton...totally forgot about this scene! Walt's face on the milk carton, lol.

[magic stuff]

How much fun would it have been to watch LeBron play with Eric Gordon, a Suddenly In Shape Because LeBron Is Here Baron Davis, Chris Kaman, DeAndre Jordan and especially Blake Griffin? Wouldn't that have been one of the ten most entertaining teams in the past 35 years? Let's see … the Showtime Lakers, Bird's 1986 Celts, the 2000-02 Kings, the '96 Bulls, the Seven Seconds or Less Suns, maybe the 1983 Sixers, maybe the 1993 Suns, maybe the 2002 Mavs, maybe the '84 Knicks (just because of Bernard and MSG) … s---, I'd rank the Pipe Dream Clips fifth or sixth. Throwing LeBron on the Knicks or Bulls would have been almost as fun, admittedly, but holy schnikes, LeBron AND Griffin on the same team? It makes me want to put on Jack's "Lost" beard from Season 3 and say, "We have to go back … "

[junior94]

Been watching a few s2 episodes again... I forget, we (or the show) ever come up with any decent theories on why Radzinsky bothered to intentionally cut out the portion of the Orientation film warning against using the computer for anything non-button related? Because honestly otherwise the best I can figure, the only point that served was just to make the introduction of that concept be that much more dramatic, and timing it perfectly of course with Michael first interacting with Walt on there (or, who he thought was Walt at the time). And if that's the case, it's kinda lazy writing, if there's no logical reason he'd have to make that edit.

Not unlike how at the start of season 3 when Locke mysteriously became mute in the wake of the hatch explosion. the ONLY reason for that was it made him saying "going to find Mr Eko" an overly dramatic moment when he suddenly regains his voice.

[scrock25]

Season II is my favorite season even though it's on the bottom of a lot of peoples list.

[jmkratt]

I like Season 2 a lot. However, every time I rewatch it (3rd time through now) I despise AnaL more. She sucks at life.

[magic stuff]

I know a lot of people still don't like it, but the more I think about it, The End is one of the best episodes of television I've ever seen. I absolutely love the resolution to the characters. It was so well done I forgot about a lot of the mythology and mystery stuff.

Evangeline Lilly is preggers yah'll. And apparently she's no longer with Dominic Monaghan. Both were news to me.

[comerelaxnow]

I am half tempted to start watching the whole series from the beginning again. It would be my 3rd time. I go a few months without it and then i get all excited to watch it again. Hands down my favorite show of all time. No other show would ever prompt me to sit and re watch every episode from start to finish multiple times.

[MacGuyver]

I dunno... the way they set up so many mysteries, and by the end fail to answer so many of them.... it just leaves it empty for me. Although the story arc of the characters is fantastic, the actual on island stuff just begets so much more information, and for the writers to say 'it was never about the island' is really a load of BS. overall still a good show.

I was watching some of season 2 again recently and when they've got Ben in the hatch and he's been outed for the Henry lie, and he's telling Jack (or whomever) that the leader of his people is such a "great man" (shrugging off that he's not referring to Tom, with the Losties at that point having every reason to assume Tom was their leader) well, I guess we can only think Ben is indeed talking about Jacob there... ? Though as we later learn, he'd never even seen Jacob in person before the s5 finale, but I suppose this was just an earlier stage of Ben just trying to use the Losties' ignorance as a weapon to make them believe he had bigger access than he really did (probably the biggest moment in that whole story thread is the cabin scene in late season 3).

The writers didn't come up with the Jacob storyline until Season 3 anyway. I assume at the itme they probably meant he was referencing himself.

I'd agree with the second part, although I don't know if the first part is necessarily true. Just because it wasn't introduced when Ben was introduced, doesn't mean they didn't already know they were going the Jacob route.

But I agree, I don't see why he would bother describing Jacob to the Losties, he was very egotistical and self-righteous, so it's very easy to think he was just pumping himself up to them.

I just finished the whole series and I'm not sure how I feel about the finale at all.

Someone in class last night mentioned the name Desmond and it just made me smile.

I miss this show. :(

I don't know. I just don't feel like I really cared for it.

[joshizzle3]

I liked that I didn't worry about the plot or the mythology, and it really was about the characters. Then, it wasn't satisfying. But looking back, it was the best way to end it.

And I was one of those who watched it live in a full movie theater. That wide shot before the cut to commercial when Jack and Locke jump at each other... I have never heard a louder reaction from a theater.

[joshizzle3]

I like Season 2 a lot. However, every time I rewatch it (3rd time through now) I despise AnaL more. She sucks at life.

Yeah Ana Lucia is a total cunt.... but the bold was intentional, right? If so, :lol. If not, :lol :lol

[dh4645]

FYI, the Deadline website has a report that the Person Of Interest pilot from Abrams' Bad Robot company & Johnathon Nolan that features Michael Emerson is getting "mixed buzz", and also Abrams' Alacatraz pilot starring Jorge Garcia is not looking super likely to get picked up.

At least they kept Fringe.

Both shows got picked up!! Pretty excited, especially for Alcatraz.

I've been sorta skimming back over some season 5 episodes lately, and there's still one major detail that's always bothered me. When Sun first meets Richard on that beach in 2007 holding the Dharma group photo from 1977, she asks if he knew those people back then. And Richard replies "Yes, I watched them all die".

umm, no he didn't. For one thing, he wasn't even there on the scene of the hatch being built when Jack threw the nuke down the shaft. And even if he had been, the most he would've seen was them all suddenly vanish before his eyes, because they jumped ahead in time to 2007. It was used at the time as this big shocking, revelatory moment for a commercial break, and it ended up not even remotely being anything true. WTF?

I read somewhere that there was a deleted scene that showed Richard in the jungle watching the whole thing happen, including the flash and then there disappearance (which would explain why he thought the bomb exploded and they died), but it wasn't shown because it didn't fit in with the ending of the season 5 finale. I'll do some digging to see if I find the article.

[magic stuff]

Ah, found it, courtesy of Lostpedia's page for "The Incident":

In an easter egg on the Season 5 DVD set during the feature "Room 23 & Beyond with Michael Emerson", an outline of this episode is seen on a white board. It contains a different final scene: After Juliet hits Jughead, the people at the Swan site were to be seen enveloped by white light. The episode would then cut to Richard watching the explosion of Jughead from a distance. [2] This unused scene seems to explain why Richard later said he had seen everyone present at the detonation die.

On a side note, I've always loved how Lindelof and Cuse use a bunch of vulgarity in scripts and other written story stuff. The one that comes to mind most is in the finale, when Desmond tells Flocke he'll do whatever he wants, Flocke says "yes Desmond, you will" and in the script it says, "yes Desmond, you (fucking) will."

[junior94]

Okay the scene itself isn't anywhere available to check out, just the written explanation of it, I guess? well okay at least that's something. Yea talk about a totally different ending, I mean not that practically speaking it's dramatically different, but for like considering what it was like as a viewer sitting there that night and your last image being her banging on the bomb and then whiteness, how the Richard thing would've played would've felt much different.

thanks man!

yeah it totally would have.

nice find other dude!

[breckbrew]

haha! That picture says "Juliet falls 200' into a foot of water." They must have know people would find it a bit ridiculous that she would fall all the way down and still be able to hit the bomb.

[Beefsteak1138]

Happy Lost finale anniversary. :(

Bummer dude.

[Beefsteak1138]

It sucks, brotha.

Did anyone get any loot from that Lost prop auction they had?

I would've loved some of that Dharma beer.

No, it was definitely a lighter beer.

me either.
BSG was close (just watched it all a few months ago)
i kinda dont want one to suck me in that much though...anymore. can't spend that much time thinking/writing/watching a tv show again. too much other stuff to do. ha

Yea, it was always a huge suspension of disbelief, that Juliet would've survived that fall :rolleyes:lol


and anniversary of the finale, whoa. It's funny, I think about how I felt back in January 2010, right like a week or two before the s6 premiere aired, wishing I could so bad cryogenically freeze myself and wake up in May, so I'd have the luxury of watching the then-completed season all back to back, I just wanted that time to pass so quick. Now without even realizing it, it's a full year since the finale aired, much less the premiere :eek

Crazy Doc Jensen just posted his supposedly final article on LOST. http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20313460_20498633,00.html

Nothing out of the norm (which is to say, it's full of batshit crazy theories and random ramblings). He does have a good new theory about The End, that the white light engulfing them wasn't taking them on to the afterlife, but that it was truly the end of everything for our favorite castaways (one reason, which is simple and makes a ton of sense, is that the episode is title The End). If you've got some time to spare, read it. I skimmed through and read the meatier parts.

[comerelaxnow]

The whole Jacks eye closing as the final image as he dies is cool and all....but we all know that people don't close their eyes when they die.

I miss this show so much. Can't wait for Jorge Gracia and Michael Emmersons new shows.

[tankdan]

Started re-watching the series right after the finale last spring, and just now finished Season 5 (I slowed down this last 2 seasons), but I love starting Season 6 again! Makes me appreciate the flash-sideways much more, plus it's something easier to focus on than all this Temple B.S. that pops up. It was wayyyy too late in the show to be introducing that many new characters.

Sooo.... he's saying it wasn't the end, it was just the end? WTF??? :lol Maybe I'll grasp it more when I see the actual story, but that made no sense to me.

It was something along the lines of, the alternate reality was a place for them to come to terms with the life they already lived, then move on to nothingness, not come to terms with their life and move on to heaven or everlasting happiness (however you see it).

I don't know if you're familiar with Jensen, but this is definitely one of his more in depth, philosophical Lost articles.

[TwoStep2888]

Doc Jensen wrote a lot of p cool stuff over the course of the series, but a lot of what he wrote during Season Six was some of the most random, made-up bullshit I've ever read about a show.

:lol:thumbsup, it seemed like every week he had a totally different view point. He was too deep into the show for his own good I think.

[TwoStep2888]

*NotLocke is walking around, openly claiming to be the Smoke Monster.*

"THE SMOKE MONSTER IS THE GHOST OF DANIEL"

next week:
"THE SMOKE MONSTER IS THE COMBINED GHOSTS OF DANIEL AND JULIET"

this is not a jokepost he actually theorized both of those things mid-Season Six.

[TwoStep2888]

:lol:thumbsup, it seemed like every week he had a totally different view point. He was too deep into the show for his own good I think.

yeah, as a Lost addict, I can safely say Lost is a hell of a drug, and Doc was a fucking fiend
