So the new episode of Lost came out.
Wasn't that bad, but still introduces more questions than answers :dry:. The show really needs to start taking a different direction or fans will be left with a sour taste in their mouth when nothing is answered...
One question though: Are we supposed to know what Jacob is referencing to when he says Jack "has what it takes", that caused such a reaction? Or is it another unanswered question we're unaware of?
I agree, all that setup and the cool lighthouse and zero payoff.
Only thing that I got out of it wasSpoiler: ShowJack's ghost dad was either Smoke Monster/Lockelganger or one of his minions. That and "Jack has a pivotal role to play which we already knew.
What was all the other reality son shit about? It didn't seem to really relate to anything.
i think a new dark " team its organizing :P Claire, Locke ,Sayid may be next ( controlled by dark smoke or whatever ) should be fun.im curios who is coming to the island
Jack has played the leader role from the beginning, maybe he will be the new Jacob (protector of the island )
jack never thought he had what it takes when it came to pleasing his father (or life)i guess.Quote:

Or they could just tell the truth and admit they don't have a effing clue how some of the stuff fits into the story either.:dry:
What a surprise :rolleyes:
Another small tidbit I noticed: I think we are supposed to infer in the latest episode that when Sayid asked Locke to bring a special someone back from the dead, it was Nadia.
However, he mentioned the "she died in his very arms". Could he actually be referring to Shannon, who "died in his very arms"? I think it was mentioned that Shannon would be returning this season.
didnt nadia die in his arms after she got ran over?
He was there beside her but not precisely in his arms.
I think that's the good side mounting....I feal a cruel trick coming :)Quote:

And now for Jacob's "touch"... If you refresh your memory on the past episode with flashbacks of Jacob (or just look at Lostpedia), you'll notice that the camera focused on him "touching" every single person he visited. And Richard Alpert had received it as well. Does that mean that now, Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Hurley, Jin/Sun, Sayid, etc. have all become bonafide Richard Alperts?
And the touch makes it so that... you can't kill yourself? I guess that's why Locke could bring himself to suiciding, which was why Ben did it for him. But I feel like there has to be more to it. Why didn't smokey just kill Ilana in order to free Ben? And why was it mentioned that "he knew the rules" and couldn't kill Sawyer (By the way, where the fuck did Sawyer go?). Might just be a hunch, but I think anyone Jacob "touches" enters into their "rules", and can't be killed by smokey. Another small tidbit is that Jacob did touch Ben at the Statue, so it may be entirely possible that Smokey can't kill Ben either.
Looks like the new Lost came out ~2 hours early :O If anyone's dieing to see it atm.
Downloading it now.
CTV in Canada shows it at 7 so that they can show American Idol after it.
As to the episode I thought it was one of the best in quite a while and Nestor Carbonell was absolutely fantastic as Richard .Didn't realize he had those kind of acting chops.
Damn Canucks and their fucked up airtimes. Guess it's inevitable when they can't get any decent shows of their own, have to tune in to our shit.
A good episode indeed, but one thing that did seem a little out of the ordinary was that in general, flashback/foward/sideways always would always alternate with another, supposedly "present" timeline. This episode was pretty much one giant flashback, with no pauses in between. For dramatic effect?
I like that it wasn't more of the same old same old.Also for a change it gave more answers than it created questions.
I found this to be particularly interesting:
Also, did anyone else think that Jacob was being unusually aggressive and forward during the flashbacks (as opposed to his generally passive, ambiguous attitude)?Quote:
In this game of white vs. black, right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, all we really know is that Jacob and Smokey pretty much hate each other's guts—and that they keep some rudimentary form of a score by trading different colored stones. When Jacob gots Richard on his side, he presents Smokey with a white stone, the equivalent of sliding over another point in a game of Foosball. The Man in Black, as Smocke, did something similar when he successfully converted Sawyer in the cave with all the candidates' names (I think he either removed a white stone from a scale or added a dark stone to it, tipping it in the favor of the darker shade).
The last episode was pretty decent, and in my opinion did answer a fair share of questions. One of my only complaints now are what they are planning to do with Sayid. One of the show's main themes is redemption, and the way Sayid seems to be going right now, he isn't getting any of it. The show just seems to make Sayid out to be incredibly one dimensional - will see another side of him later?
Stephen Colbert bashes ABC's constant ad of "V" on the Lost airing:

...Now available on microwave. XD
All's great on the lost front except for 1 thing! what the hell is going on with Walt??? i'm convinced he will play some part in this season and let's not forget about jack's father Christian!
What about Jack's son? He also could play some role in the next episodes.Quote:

Eh?
I guess both smoke monster and the good Jacob have the ability to transform to a dead man. Same power different cause
Maybe.Quote:

What we have to conclude from this is that Jacob is a lying motherfucker and as such doesn't qualify as the 'good guy' by any stretch of the imagination.
I don't understand what game smokey and Jacob played.
It is obvious that smokey wanted to kill Jacob but he couldn't
kill him directly because this wasn't part of the rules.
What rules???
It's like rugby , any supposed rules are secondary to whatever causes the most mayhem in the end.
It's not a battle between good and evil. It's a battle to keep the absolute evil locked in a place where can only influence a very limited amount of people. Jacob is not the good guy, he is just evil's guard. To accomplish his mission influence people, he is not lying but he uses them. The not influencing story was a good one 2 centuries ago but in the last decades he had an army working for him and even killing people. So he is far from 'the good guy' prototype by any mean for my standardsQuote:

Care to cite your sources for this?
Or are you just full of wank?
No "bad" people are on the list?Quote:

That's perfectly fine.Quote:

Saywer is still on the list and I think that Sayid was also. More "bad" than "good" both of them at least from my point of viewQuote:

Edit:
Couple more things: Miles and Linus were both apparently candidates (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Candidates) yet seem to have been crossed out. I guess it could be surmised why Ben was crossed out, but why Miles?
And as for Kate, it seems a little ambiguous:
Quote:
Very likely Kate Austen, who met Jacob as a child when she was caught trying to shoplift a lunchbox. Jacob helped her, paying for the lunchbox, and touched her on the nose. The name "Austen" was not seen in the cave, but was later seen in the Lighthouse, not crossed out. Carlton Cuse said in an interview that Kate's name was on the cave wall and crossed out, but regrettably did not make the final edit.
You really haven't a clue, do you mate?Quote:
