The island wanted LOST SEASON SIX THREAD to happen (***CLICK CAREFULLY -- CONTAINS SPOILERS***)

Yeah, it's probably easier to look at Lostpedia than sort through the old threads.

just searching the date the episode aired could be helpful if she wants to see what we thought was going on

unless we thought sawyer was the horse

lol *that* much i knew

wait how is there now sawyer-centaur.jpg by now

can quite easily imagine sawyer getting turned into a centaur and losing his temper about it: "well gee I'd love to help ya doc, but in case you didn't notice my lower half is just about ready to compete in the KENTUCKY DERBY"

^ the final scene that Matthew Fox is always bragging he knows about

I had a whole lot of stuff remembered wrong, mainly not important stuff. I'm enjoying season 1 a lot more now I don't have to wait a whole week between episodes and get mad furious when they waste like a whole 10 mins on having a fight or looking pensive.

yes!
the end of episode vignettes of everyone at the beach enjoying each other's company by campfire to stringed music still got really old, though.

^^ Any tv show that ends with some song with either instrumentals, or pensive songs with female vocals (fox network shows are all over this) need to cut that out. I'd rather take a hundred "oh shit, shocking conclusion!" Lost endings than a few more of these.

how many characters introduced after season 2 have even really been important or had much long term screentime? I mean Juliet obviously and I guess Faraday and Lapidus, but it seems like in general the show is intent on always coming back to the original core cast, and when someone new shows up I usually don't expect a lot more than a brief arc.

Curious to see where they're going with Miles, given that he doesn't seem to have any structural function in the story as it is.

pretty lolsome when hurley's cd player ran out of battery tho xpost

the first one they did where it ended up going all sinister as it turned to locke was superb tho

lol a friend of mine's sister is the prostitute that got killed on Deadwood iirc -- supposedly they were interested in her being a long term regular but she or her family was embarrassed or uncomfortable about the ahem nature of the show/role so they wrote her off

"Lost" .... Aldo (1 episode, 2007)

lol just saw this while rewatching old lost! he was guarding the place where they were clockwork oranging carl (karl?).

McElhenney said that 50 weeks of each year are consumed by acting, producing, and writing for the show, but he did find time to appear in the third season of the television show Lost as Aldo in the seventh episode, "Not in Portland". He is shown reading Stephen Hawking's A Brief History Of Time 22 minutes, 40 seconds into the episode. This was as a result of McElhenney meeting Lost co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof. Lindelof is a fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and offered to give Rob a small role in an episode. Though Aldo is thought to be deceased, Damon Lindelof revealed that Aldo isn't dead (Lindelof also joked that "No one dies on that fucking show") and may actually appear in a new Lost episode.

totally want aldo to come back and save everyone in the finale.

A friend of mine just gave me the AVIs of the entire series, I started watching episode one with the intention of re-watching the whole thing and then it occurred to me quite how many hours of my life that would take up. I might start from season four instead.

Just watched the first Claire episode. I'd forgotten how intense it seemed at the time, compared to anything else that had happened, that Claire had to raise her baby etc etc. Nothing really came of it throughout all 5 seasons, so I hope it leads to something in the final season other than 'lol psychic'.

(I mean, I know Aaron was raised by Kate or whatever but Aaron himself has never seemed that important. Maybe the whole psychic thing was just meant to motivate Claire even more to keep him away from THE Others in particular, rather than 'others'.)

The baby's dad looks quite a lot like a young Ben imo :)

they'd resort to actual prostitution to become a TV prostitute?

(holy lolz @ yr screenname)

WHAT THE WHAT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj-KpOrbLSM

possibly fake but v pro job if so

I hope that the season opener is random ppl we've never seen before dodging falling polar bears for 2 hours

Yeah, it's a fake. It's a real commercial but not for LOST:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxis7Y1ikIQ

too soon

the real commercial is pretty gross imo, i can understand if they wanted to go for that kind of shock value if they were actually talking about polar bears dying from the ice caps melting, but instead they just use it as a super weird device to address something else entirely

Reminds me of Twelve Monkeys.

i was naive and thought surely no-one else is using polar bears - tho it did seem somehow familiar. pretty gross i agree.

Just finished re-watching Season 1 (yeah it took ages). Not too much that seems any different second time round, except a couple of things. Rousseau says she hasn't seen anyone else on the island, but has heard them - obviously crap, I guess they get around that by having her be kerrazy. I forgot also she tried to trade Aaron for Alex (by taking him to the pillar of black smoke, even though there were no Others there).
Tom Friendly on the raft seemed really really creepy, as up until then there's no real sense of a team of people making a concerted effort to 'get' them - it was only Ethan and Danielle who'd appeared til then, who seemed to be acting alone.

Anyway, the most interesting bit that might make more sense now is what Locke says before blowing up the hatch (and just after nearly getting sucked down a vent by smokey) - they're talking about the Island bringing them there:

LOCKE: Boone was a sacrifice that the Island demanded. What happened to him at that plane was a part of a chain of events that led us here -- that led us down a path -- that led you and me to this day, to right now.

JACK: And where does that path end, John?

LOCKE: The path ends at the Hatch. The Hatch, Jack -- all of it -- all of it happened so that we could open the Hatch.

JACK: No, no, we're opening the Hatch so that we can survive.

LOCKE: Survival is all relative, Jack.

JACK: I don't believe in destiny.

LOCKE: Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet.

OTOH, it also just sounds like yer average Locke bullshit, so who knows...

I forgot also she tried to trade Aaron for Alex (by taking him to the pillar of black smoke, even though there were no Others there).

yeah i've noticed a lot of that in my scattered re-watching lately (just got through S3), things that are ambiguous enough that they're not flat out RONG in retrospect but were clearly pushing in one direction that it seems the writers were as convinced of as the audience was at the time. I think Rousseau even says something in S3 about not wanting to see Alex because she wouldn't recognize her, which makes the trading Aaron thing even goofier.

still really bothers me that when jack is in his druggie crazy phase and he goes to steal meds from the hospital he says 'you go find my father and tell me he's not drunker than i am' or whatever... would jack be that out of it to say something like that? i don't think so. it's weird.

bear in mind he's a raging alcoholic and hopped up on random prescription meds that he wrote out for himself, so it's possible... and well people time jump in their minds all the time in the show!

but whatev-STAY ALL DAY, IF YOU WANT TO

plus he was having hallucinations of his father non stop...and his life consisted of flying to australia and back while drinking booze and taking meds. loved druggy jack

i can understand if they wanted to go for that kind of shock value if they were actually talking about polar bears dying from the ice caps melting

Uh hold on, that is what they're doing. It's kinda great imo.

i mean they could've done it directly by talking about the polar bear death toll, instead of comparing the weight of emissions to the weight of polar bears or w/e weird equation they used

polar bears did 9/11

So I've heard they (producers? fans?) have put up Facebook pages for alternate timeline Lost characters. The one I stumbled across so far is Cassidy Sawyer--obviously Cassidy married to Sawyer.

"producers? fans?"

quite an important distinction!

i've heard they have also put up descriptions of kate making sex on locke/ben/signey bristow, but im not sure if it's canon.

I mean I think it's official but I don't have confirmation. Could end up being like that polar bear promo.

Cassidy Sawyer is a profile page rather than a "Page" page, and she's a fan of all the spanish pages for Richard Alpert, Locke etc - definitely fake.

Skimming through season two, and while I'm getting annoyed at the amount of time they devoted to Charlie's boring life story, how on earth did I forget "You All Every Butties"?
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/lostpedia/images/2/29/Everybutties.jpg

eh just click it

oh god i don't remember that at all! what is that!?

Hehe, it's some ad for diapers that Drive Shaft are recording in one of Charlie's flashbackzzzzzzz. His brother Liam ends up selling his piano for drugs or something.
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/You_All_Every_Butties

Promos time. No new footage yet though.

ABC:

Spanish promo which I like more cause um, Radiohead. Also, chess.

I like the chessboard thing but otoh WILLIE + I love that huge guitar part

Ooh liking the chessboard thing!

”Just finished re-watching Season 1 (yeah it took ages). Not too much that seems any different second time round, except a couple of things. Rousseau says she hasn't seen anyone else on the island, but has heard them - obviously crap”

She was specifically talking about the Others, right? I watched the Jin and Rousseau ep earlier today, and it's not necessarily a plothole. If Faraday was right about the variables and constants, then Jin would have been able to alter the course of events. That would explain why Rousseau didn't recognise him in S1.

yeah i'll just handwave that one away, since it's 20 years into her psycho past, and as crazy as she is Danielle probably doesn't think time travel/immortals exist
