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

xxxxp
Haha there's an episode in Season 5 where Sayid/Kate keep asking Jack questions and he keeps going "that's not important right now". I woulda slapped him/ done that breakdance necksnapping thing with my legs if I was Sayid.

There are a lot moments involving Ben and/or Hurley that make the whole thing plain awesome.

Oh yeah I still haven't worked out why they gave Jack appendicitis in the Season 4 finale or thereabouts. Was it just to keep the gang on the beach for 5 mins instead of running off into the jungle?

no, but whenever i picture her now, i picture her with that fucked puffed-up upper lip

God, I would rather them not ask questions at all than go through this charade.

it's always funny when lost becomes like an old pc adventure game. "i can't talk about that now, go to the hatch."

"i must leave now, my people will be wondering where I am."

i kinda would've liked a scene where Ben categorically insisted that they must pretend to be primitive tribe dudes to the survivors, handing Tom the fake beard and theatrical glue and TOm looking at Ben aghst saying "this isn't what i signed up for!" and Ben just giving the "stfu do as i say" look.

and later on nudging Goodwin "told you i could get him to wear a fake beard, that's $20 you owe me"

oh come on i'm sure tom lovvves theatrical things! ;-)

i love that they made tom gay. "when i'm in the city, i like to indulge in the finer things!"

i just like how needless revealing his sexuality was, it's actually almost refreshing they just made a character gay for no plot reason whatsoever. esp the way they hinted at it when kate was changing and he was like "you're not my type"

the hotel thing was silly but yeah, that kate scene was great.

Is that John Oates??

yeah hotel was a bit ludicrous, tho in the context of michael having a meltdown it was sort of funny.

nah, no 'stache

ha - i was amused

We know what happened to Lord Custos, at least. That's one mystery solved before the series even begins.

yeah, almost the "and on top of all this you're GAY?" reaction from Michael ha ha

Part 2: http://sky1.sky.com/lost-secrets-2

(I must brag that I helped make those and play the crew member with the Adam & Eve theory)...

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?"

I like that at least a couple of the people on the plane were planted anyway. Pretty soon we're going to find out that half of the people on Oceanic flights over the pacific are somehow Dharma, Jacob, or Locke-related anyway.

nice! xpost

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.

As unconvincing as this was, it wasn't as bad as the whole "we have to lie about where we were" business they went through when they got off the island. Like I understand that for the sake of the future story that they wanted to tell, it was necessary for the characters to lie. Just like it was necessary for the sake of the future story for the characters to go back to the island, but I really wish they were good enough writers to make this stuff convincing. The whole bit about protecting the rest of them from Whidmore didn't really even make superficial sense. There's lots of other shit like this in the show I remember if I could tolerate going back to rewatch it all. But the thing about Lost is that the first 3 and a half seasons are un-rewatchable, because most of the flachbacks just aren't very compelling a second time through and they're a big chunk of early episodes, especially for characters like Boone and Shannon.

Also thought it was funny in season five when Sawyer and Jack are arguing about what to do about Sayid cuz Sawyer was just sitting around reading and Sawyer goes into this speech about thinking and how when Jack was the leader he never thought, he just reacted. So Jack was like "I got us off the Island!" Yeah Jack, you got yourself and four other people off the island and then did nothing for the other survivors for three years. Great job.

I think people need to rewatch if they think jack deciding they had to go back didn't make sense. To my memory they played out jack's slow conversion to that view over loads of flash forwards. As I already said he starts seeing his dad everywhere, and basically loses his shit through the guilt of having left the rest behind, to die for all he knows. How is it not well explained?

I'd have to watch it again to see how the pact to lie about the island comes about, but I don't remember that seeming unnecessary either.

I mean hadn't they just left an island where widmore had sent a death squad to murder them all? Kinda might just make sense they didn't want to go back to the real world all Hi!

It doesn't matter if the lying to protect people from Widmore didn't make sense (it didn't - Widmore knew they were bullshitting). Surely the whole point is that Jack doesn't think before he acts? That's what that scene with Sawyer in the barracks was all about.

How does Widmore knowing they were bullshitting mean them telling that lie made no sense? Surely that just means the lie didn't quite work, not that the motivation for telling it made no sense?

Yeah actually now I think about it I suppose in Jack's mind there was no reason for Widmore to know who any of the Oceanic 6 were. But then again I don't think they were trying to bullshit Widmore, I think they were avoiding having to tell the entire world about an island that people have gone to a lot of trouble to keep secret.

It was a bit of all those things I think. I think Locke told Jack not to tell anyone. Also like...their actually true story would have been fucking insane.

Haha, I like that reasoning, because in Lost-world logic, it does make sense - trying to tell them they were on an island for all those months which no longer exists would make them all look like psychotic, murderous cannibals or something. Also remember - Widmore already did the whole immense cover-up with the fake plane, the dug up bodies and so on. So they'd look REALLY crazy! So they were going to have to make up some kind of lie.

the plane coverup is what confuses me: the fake crash was made to look like everyone died - all the bodies were 'discovered', right? so how did they explain the oceanic six being alive? (i admit i may have forgotten/missed something here)

I don't think that for the fake crash they ever claimed to have found/identified every single body

yeah they just seemed to go based on identifying the plane and the pilot and stuff. the lie the o6 told was based on where the fake plane was found etc

oh, i thought there was that purchase order for exactly the same number of bodies as were present on the real plane

I sort of assume Widmore did his best to make it appear as tho everyone was dead. But also in reality when they found the plane etc it was buried extremely well and they couldn't really check every body.

Is it true that Walter Peck from Ghostbusters is in the new series?

no but slimer will be

apparently yeah (xpost)

I hope Walter Peck is this year's redshirt who gets to act like a pissy dick for five minutes before getting killed in an amusing way.
