Not much to report though other than that LIBBY will be back. which, if they're talking about it, prob means she's appearing for like six seconds or something.

It's nice if for no reason than just to give Hurley's story some kind of resolution. There was an EW interview recently I think where they were totally laying the blame at her Watros' feet for not coming back, it seemed kind of weird, but I guess it worked out.
Also good to hear that Michael would be back for sure - Perrineau was publically grumbling about how they took the character out (understandably!) so I wasn't sure if they would bother, but similarly Walt didn't get a scene with him.

9.29 - they say that (in Season 5 finale) Ben "stabs" Jacob. Not "kills"... I mean it's pretty much a given that unless we see someone actually die they could still be walking around in the next ep (Jin, Locke, everyone ever) so I guess we didn't really believe it...

I don't believe anyone is dead. Except Adibisi.

Maybe my dream of a Labyrinth-style ending could come true then... Charlie partying with Ethan and all that.

that's actually an 8 1/2 style ending

it's gonna end with people walking around the island giving each other warm looks and sawyer giving everyone hugs, softly saying "frackles, frackles, frackles" while violins play for 30 minutes.

Maybe more like a Star Wars ending, you see the ghosts of Christian Shepherd, Charlie and the horse standing at the side digging the party.

really thought there'd be a trailer by NOW, i know there is some contest with 815 winners getting to see a sneak peek
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 12 January 2010 22:59 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't need a trailer. it's not like im not going to watch it. and the idea of it attracting new viewers is pretty unlikely.
― free the charmless but occasionally brilliant Dom Passantino (history mayne), Tuesday, 12 January 2010 23:01 (fourteen years ago) link
i think they've said somewhere that the trailers won't have any new footage at all anyway. they seem pretty intent, more than usual, on keeping things under wraps for this season.
― Roz, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 09:58 (fourteen years ago) link
been re-watching season 5 because i got the dvds for christmas
man i'd forgotten how awful awful awful the off-island stuff is: the 'we have to go back' storyline never made sense to me and still doesn't
it's all made up for, of course, by the awesome time-jumping on the island and the 70s dharma stuff that comes later
― david cam'ron (tpp), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 12:28 (fourteen years ago) link
tried watching some season 5 and found it horrrrribly boring. :(

what the fuck was atlas shrugged doing in the company of the other books the show promoted

They can't put any new footage in the trailer without blowing the cliffhanger. That said, I'm pretty sure the bomb going off didn't reset the timeline - watched the series again and Alperts "I watched them all die" recollection to Sun seemed to hint at it. It's possible the bomb blows back into the present day though.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:14 (fourteen years ago) link
i always thought alpert's 'i watched them all die' was bc of the gassing and im assuming they all... died. but i like that theory better!
― tehresa, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:16 (fourteen years ago) link
There also has to be a reason why it was so important to Ellie that her son went back to the Island so she could kill him. And "that's how time works" doesn't really cut it.

I recently finished catching up and farraday's "don't you see....humans...they are the variables" thing was so stupid
― super sexy psycho fantasy world (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:21 (fourteen years ago) link
farraday is cool tho
Yeah I love Farraday but it felt like they were taking his dialogue and just inserting familiar science words and then that was all somehow crucial to the plot and just like.. :\

I think Faraday was driven to being a soppy unscientific tit by thinking he could somehow save Charlotte, which he clearly couldn't.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:28 (fourteen years ago) link
i dunno pretty much everything they come up with on lost seems really stupid after a while and yet when you're watching it, they feel like the most important and mindblowing pieces of knowledge you'll ever receive.
― Roz, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:30 (fourteen years ago) link
Well, he kinda did save Charlotte, no?
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:30 (fourteen years ago) link
He told her in 1977 never to go back to the island otherwise she would die, but she still went back in the present day, and remembered the crazy man telling her not to go back. Then she died.
― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:32 (fourteen years ago) link
But the bomb thing means everyone's alive now. Wasn't that Faraday's idea?
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:34 (fourteen years ago) link
The bomb thing doesn't mean anything necessarily - Faraday couldn't save Charlotte by telling her not back to the island so I don't see why he should necessarily save everyone else by telling Jack to explode an atomic bomb.

didn't sayid say something like "the last time I saw concrete poured this thick it was in chernobyl" when he was in the hatch

yeah it's like a few months after the series the spell is broken and you've all these random shards of vaguely stupid info...
no doubt after a rewatch and once s6 starts the magic will work again.
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:49 (fourteen years ago) link
The "we have to go back" stuff still seems unconvincing a second time around. Jack had always been single-minded about wanting to leave and didn't believe all the "island = your destiny" stuff - just because Locke said right at the end that he was going to move the island and then did, doesn't make everything else he said come true or make any sense.
One way of looking at it could be that Jack really didn't have much to live for with his dad and wife gone and so the vague notion of 'saving' everyone back on the island became overwhelmingly important to him. But they didn't really go with this angle.
Much as I love Lost what frustrates me the most is that none of the good storylines can exist without some sort of extra-bullshit explaining them. Eko and Locke have some success on the island finding old Dharma stations etc - because Eko gets some information in a dream that he otherwise wouldn't have. Same with Locke and Jacob's cabin.
Miles and his ghost talking crap which it seems like you just have to accept is genuine Derek Akorah-style woo. Admittedly they haven't used this too much to advance the plot but it made the freighter guys believe that the Lost gang didn't kill Naomi, and it's used a few other times.
The time travel constant stuff - I'm willing to go with time travel as a viable mechanism (and was initially impressed that they seemed to be explicitly setting out the "what happened, happened" rules) but when they try to complicate this with the stupid idea of a constant and all of Faraday's other crap it just becomes completely random.
OTOH, I have possibly been watching a bit too much Lost...
― Not the real Village People, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:50 (fourteen years ago) link
To be fair though, didn't Jack want to go back also because he was going fucking mental? EG hallucinating, seeing his Dad? I don't think it was a rational thought process, he got back to the real world and totally lost his shit.
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:54 (fourteen years ago) link
i can't keep it all in my tbqh, even when it's on. classic show but i've never rewatched any of it. i like it more for miles/ben awesomeness now than for the unfathomable plot.

"Faraday couldn't save Charlotte by telling her not back to the island so I don't see why he should necessarily save everyone else by telling Jack to explode an atomic bomb."That's his Plan B -- the bomb goes up, they never crash, Charlotte never comes back to the island, or even if she does, sudden time vortex death syndrome doesn't apply.
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 19:58 (fourteen years ago) link
charlotte was gd hot. come back charlotte!

yeah i gave up caring about whether it all fit together and made sense at some point during the last 2 seasons
still love this show tho. amazing ben moment from the S5 episode i watched last night:
ben and jack are sitting on the plane that will take them back to the island and jack asks what is going to happen to all the other people on the plane and ben turns to him and says "who cares?"
:D

dats what im talking about

yeah i'm almost done rewatching a lot of the show (cherrypicking S1-3 and all of 4 and 5), and even though it gets really muddled and ridiculous at points along the way i don't really mind, if anything it's more exciting to me as it goes along. it really gets pretty tiresome how often they let characters voice the audience's "that's riduculous!" reactions or go "it's not a question of where so much as....WHEN" though.
― some dude, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 20:10 (fourteen years ago) link
also half of season 3 is people returning to the base camp in slow motion after being captured or going through some crazy monster shit
