I can see how someone might see that as a stupid waste of time as well. But I kinda see it as a Last Temptation of Christ sort of thing. Like a vision that shows Jack why things would have been even worse if the plane didn't crash. That the world needs them to crash on that island.

It's like the opposite of "It's A Wonderful Life."

Cuse/Lindelof have made comments to the effect that they're not going to just hit the reset button, that they don't want to make it so all the dramatic moments you already saw didn't happen or don't matter anymore, but I could definitely see them teasing it in a way that it seems that's what they're doing.
― some dude, Wednesday, 27 January 2010 19:45 (fourteen years ago) link
what about having the returned characters actually acting like they're back from the dead, or aware of the moment they faced death and unable to recall anything since leaving to much freaking out/confusion...leading Jack and co to think 'oh shiiiii, Jacob if you fix this we promise to never leave"
― mdskltr (blueski), Wednesday, 27 January 2010 20:16 (fourteen years ago) link
If they made the dead characters into stealth zombies and the entire season was an extended chase/siege story I would lol heartily

just like the star trek movie didn't technically hit the reset button amirite

OK I know someone who's started watching ALL OF IT for the first time... this week. With the aim of going straight into s6 on Tues. I think they're halfway thru season 1 already. And they are blogging it!

my brother gave me seasons 1-4 on DVD two Xmases ago and I binged on those in the space of the month or two before season 5 started. it's a good way to consume the show, the episodes where nothing 'happens' go down a lot easier when you don't have to wait a week in between.

So Tuesday night is three hours? I've looked and looked but haven't found confirmation that hour 1 will be a re-cap. Please tell me that's the case. I can't get to TV until like 8:45. Thxbye.

According to the TitanTV listing, 8pm is a recap, 9pm is a 2-part premiere (LA X pts 1 and 2)
― Nhex, Friday, 29 January 2010 00:23 (fourteen years ago) link
I have my parents visiting so will need an excuse to watch it in peace, preferably not too long after it's on as I won't be able to stand the suspense.

lol that has around 30 seconds of new content, and despite the watermark it is a very intention leak.
― abanana, Saturday, 30 January 2010 02:51 (fourteen years ago) link
and it was so totally expected... the whole 'lol-it-never-happened' thing (which is obv not the case, otherwise it wouldn't be in the first 5mins)
― DAN P3RRY MAD AT GRANDMA (just1n3), Saturday, 30 January 2010 02:52 (fourteen years ago) link
Apparently it was some sort of competition where the winners got this footage? Obviously it's pretty inconsequential and they knew it would get out though.

Here's a comparison someone did with the pilot episode.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoaRzEMpya0
Seems like Jack is maybe experiencing deja vu right? Would be interesting if these were like the flashes Desmond had after the Hatch exploded, where some of the characters have the consciousness of what happened during the first five seasons.

i don't want even 30 seconds of the premiere spoiled ffs!

I started watching that clip but after 20 seconds the guilt was too much!
― Not the real Village People, Saturday, 30 January 2010 21:56 (fourteen years ago) link
haha i thought about avoiding it but just1n3 and Mister Jim's posts were spoilery enough that i went ahead and bit the bullet, and really it's nothing worth regretting. doesn't change or detract from my anticipation of the other 115 minutes of the episode at all.

wow i actually didn't think about that - sorry for being spoilery! :(

Same here. Time to avoid the entire Internet for a couple of days. Spoilers be flying all over the place.
― tobo73, Sunday, 31 January 2010 04:04 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah didn't even think about spoileriness till after posting. sorry all.

already avoiding this thread. y'all are idiots.

Other message boards have separate Lost threads--spoiler-free and minor spoilers--so people can talk about casting gossip and stuff they've read w/o having everyone jump on them for RUINING EVERYTHING!
― President Keyes, Monday, 1 February 2010 14:29 (fourteen years ago) link
meh i didn't watch the video, but i read the comments and come the fuck on ppl, those are not *really* spoilers. relax.
anyway... one and a half days to go OMG!!! should we start a new thread or stick with this one?
― Roz, Monday, 1 February 2010 14:36 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah -- i suppose my poll thread could be used as the spoiler-free one? LOST character who you are most anxious to find out what the hell their deal is in season six
― some dude, Monday, 1 February 2010 14:37 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah we could - might need a title change though? "LOST Season Six: What the hell is Richard Alpert's Deal Anyway?"
― Roz, Monday, 1 February 2010 14:39 (fourteen years ago) link
eh maybe there should just be a new 'SPOILER FREE' thread and then this one can keep being used as the spoiler-ish one.
― some dude, Monday, 1 February 2010 14:41 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah lost threads have been traditionally pretty nicely spoiler-free imo and roz is right, there was no real revelation here. also the spoiler-avoiders should just not use the internet for 3 months before the season premiere.
― mdskltr (blueski), Monday, 1 February 2010 14:51 (fourteen years ago) link
i think there should be a new thread regardless since this is already 600+ posts long and it's going to be a bitch opening it up if you want to re-read comments on previous episodes (which i do cause i'm a nerd). can't think of a decent title though.
― Roz, Monday, 1 February 2010 14:58 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe a preemptive title: "OH FFS Lost Season 6!!!"
― Möbius dick (╓abies), Monday, 1 February 2010 16:09 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe people who are ~*~afraid~*~ of spoilers should get off the dam internet
