See You In Another Thread, Brothah [Lost]

[on:]

New thread! And the title doesn't suck. Anything that's related to Desmond can't suck.


So what if she's a main character? Charlie died. Kate just needs to die now.

[Reply #1 on:]

uh no Lost this week? Baw

[Reply #2 on:]

Aw, it's okay! There'll be Lost for every week from now to eternity*.




*Eternity being May 23rd.

[Reply #3 on:]

How come you American people who have access to commercials that say "Lost won't be back for 2 weeks" didn't warn us other weirdos about it?

[Reply #4 on:]

I honestly didn't know until Tuesday when somebody told me it wasn't going to be on that night. The preview for the next episode last Tuesday made it seem like it would've been this Tuesday. Then again, I could've just not noticed the date on the promo, but I'm positive it never said "Lost will be back in two weeks".

[Reply #5 on:]

May 23rd, weiner? I'm pretty sure you mean May 25th.

[Reply #6 on:]

Nope, I meant May 23rd.

[Reply #7 on:]

TV.com says the next episode, "The Candidate" airs May 4th...?

[Reply #8 on:]

yay, lost on my bday

[Reply #9 on:]

Cool! Hahaha...I should do that for my birthday - Lost marathon.

TV.com says the next episode, "The Candidate" airs May 4th...?

Yes. But the final episode is May 23rd. Funnily enough, that's the same date the world ends...according to my sources...i.e. my inability to cope with the loss of Lost.

[Reply #10 on:]

WAIT WHAT.  LOST IS ENDING???  :P

[Reply #11 on:]

I will probably cry when it ends. Either because it'll be a shit ending, or because I'll have lost my best friend of 6 years. Also I find myself more emotionally connected to TV shows and pets than I do other humans who I have direct contact with

[Reply #12 on:]

This is like that time scrubs ended... and then it didn't end, and made me look like a tit.

[Reply #13 on:]

Yeah, instead of ending it got really crappy.

And what's wrong with looking like a tit, dare I ask?

[Reply #14 on:]

Ya, tits look nice. Especially on women.

[Reply #15 on:]

Heh, Chay could be a bearded tit.

..sorry about the imagery.

[Reply #16 on:]

One word review of The Candidate:

Damn

[Reply #17 on:]

Heh, Chay could be a bearded tit.

..sorry about the imagery.

Bearded Tits are cute though:



I agree that The Candidate was a rather sad episode, I wasn't expecting that ending

[Reply #18 on:]

awww, birdie.


Yeah. I was thinking "Lost will make me feel better and I can relax for a bit" NO, SORRY. Pah!

[Reply #19 on:]

I was very upset when:

Show spoiler

KATE DIDN'T DIE!!!!!! GOD DAMMIT, ALL I WANT ON LOST IS FOR HER TO STOP WASTING SPACE AND DIE ALREADY!!!!!!

I mean, look at the final four flight survivors. Jack wants to stay on the Island, Hurley's listening to whatever the ghosts tell him, and Sawyer wants to get off the Island. They all have pretty good motives. What's Kate's motive right now? ... Exactly, she has none! At least Sun and Jin had something to go to back home (a little thing that we had a whole minor arc about: a baby), Kate has nothing! And you'll say "what about Claire?!" Well, Claire's going to die next episode. She's been following other people around for the last half season and has no motive anymore, she's just wasting space too.

Which brings me to another revelation: if we count Frank among the dead (which I'm doubtful of), that means that all the "main" characters without fully-devoted flashbacks are dead and all the characters introduced after Season 3 are dead. And all the plane survivors are dead except the 5 listed in the last paragraph, Walt, Rose, Bernard, and Vincent. Speaking of which, what the hell happened to Rose and Bernard after the hydrogen bomb time warp? They weren't in the immediate blast radius, but they were still unstuck in time. Are they in the 70's or in the jungle? Anyway, my point is that Desmond, Ben, and Richard are too much fan favorites for them to merely kill them off before the finally. Sure, we knew Sun and Jin from the beginning, but was I the only one that Jin had to grow on? I mean, he was a complete douche at first! And Sayid had no emotional attachment anymore due to him going to the dark side this season; he had no motives anymore. Miles is the only major character left that we didn't know until a while in and we don't have much emotions vested in right now. We haven't seen him in a while and we don't really know what his motive is at the moment. Of all the remaining characters, I wouldn't be surprised if Miles and Claire are capped off before the finale. I really was happy when Kate got shot, but now I'm sad because it seems she won't die. THE BULLET'S STILL IN HER AND SHE'S SOMEHOW FINE?!?! But anyway, Desmond won't die. They won't be bitches. And they won't kill Richard off so soon now that we have a vested emotional interest in him from a recent episode. Sawyer, I think he might die in the finale, just a funny feeling. He's always been the one that's been fine with being a martyr of the remaining, so why should he stop now?

[Reply #20 on:]

Jack's crying at the end was very convincing.

Also, weiner, if course you're not the only one who Jin had to grow on. Him being a douche at the beginning then becoming a better person was the entire point of his character.

[Reply #21 on:]

BAWW!!!

[Reply #22 on:]

Anyone else have a small moment of "OMG YAY" when Kate got shot? She spun around and went down like so many fans had hoped... then was still alive... *sigh*...

Also, Hurley crying = sad. Actually, that whole thing... verge of lousy tears the whole time. Damn you Lost

wait wait wait... Did Lipidus die too?? No wai not even a real death scene for him! Nooooo.... maybe he'll swim ashore next week all messed up? Fingers crossed.

Also - why did nobody get the bends from resurfacing from the sub so quickly? And... could that bit of water be really so deep that they're 5 minutes from the surface?? Then swim out and survive? Uhmmm yeah I don' tknow if that's so realistic.

Wahhh. Emotional.

[Reply #23 on:]

I think they shot Kate and let her survive just to tease us.

Also, Weiner, Jack said the bullet went right through, so..yeah. It's not still in her so far as we know.

And regarding Jin...what's your point? The fact that we had to get to know him better first before we knew he was a good guy...I'm still not sure if Ben is a good guy but I don't want him to be killed off..

[Reply #24 on:]

I found when Locke shot that guy guarding the plane really fake, watch it in slowmo, it's terrible.

[Reply #25 on:]

But...but...I thought he really shot a guy.
Now I have to question my whole existence.

[Reply #26 on:]

With Jin, I was saying that in some regards I hadn't fully become able to like him because of his initial douchitude. His death shocked me, yes, but I don't feel his death would have as much of an impact on the audience as if Desmond dies. Some people might not fully like Jin, some might not have an emotional connection to him. I for one was becoming sick of the storyline for him and Sun for the last two seasons being "zomg where are they?!?1?!/!" like how Claire's only been like "baby ate my dingo!!!!11!!" And when he was in the past, he felt like he wasn't doing much to develop his character, it felt more like the "oh, well, Jin's here, we might as well use him..." kind of a deal. Of the main cast left at that point, I felt like the three who died were the most likely to be sacrificed by the writers and producers. However, that still doesn't get over the fact that Kate just needs to die already. I've hated her since Season 2 and she has no purpose anymore. Just get rid of her already and save us all the trouble.

I just don't believe that the bullet would just go right through her, any1else. It feels like too much to suspend. Sure, Locke having a bullet go through him where he didn't have a kidney made a little sense because, well, he didn't have a kidney there. But I thought where Kate got shot there were organs that some may say are just a little bit vital, like, say, you know, a lung and the heart. If it were a little higher then I could've suspended disbelieve and said "oh, it went through that part between the ribs and shoulder, but that looked like a kill shot to me.

It looked extra fake because there were no marks on Locke at all from the shots. No fancy CGI showing the bullets going through his nanocloud, no marks on his clothes, nothing. It made it look like the guards were just horrible shots.

[Reply #27 on:]

I just figured the shots don't even register on him at all. Or I didn't really think to look that deeply into it. I don't find it that important to the story.

I always liked the Sun and Jin storyline. We all get different things out of it. But I do agree Kate could be done away with. It does seem like we're being teased for wanting to murder her in cold blood. Maybe she can die the same way the marshal did..

[Reply #28 on:]

She's never going to die. Just get over it right now. SHE'S NOT. GOING. TO DIE. Best come to terms with this reality. I don't want there to be suicides when the show ends and she's alive.

[Reply #29 on:]

Oh, I know they swam in the ocean to get out of the sub, but when kate is back on land the hole in her shirt and the blood is gone, at least from what I can tell.  The wound wouldn't have stopped bleeding.

And I totally thought she had died too, it was the most glorious moment of lost, but then she got back up and RUINED IT.

[Reply #30 on:]

For Amy:

She's never going to die. Just get over it right now. SHE'S NOT. GOING. TO DIE. Best come to terms with this reality. I don't want there to be suicides when the show ends and she's alive.

Also, found this in an article:

When asked why "The Candidate" was filled with such sorrow, producer Carlton Cuse told EW.com it was to prove that the "show is willing and capable of killing anyone." Also, to send a message about the man masquerading as Locke: “There is no ambiguity. He is evil and he has to be stopped."

As well as:

there was little mythology this week (the show is saving that for next week's monumental episode, which focuses entirely on the history of Smokey and Jacob)

[Reply #31 on:]

Fuck you all. Kate's awesome.

Sad for Jin and Sun. Although his hands floated out of frame... he could still be alive...
Also, what does that mean for Ji-yeon? I think hurleys crying was the most saddening.

Can't wait for next week.

ALSO, last ep is now a 2 and half hours. Tits.

[Reply #32 on:]

Anyone notice how Claire's hair is the worst compared to the other girls'?
What were Kate and Sun using that Claire couldn't get on the island I wonder.

Perhaps hanging around Flocke so much and he gives off a lot of static electricity.
Lost writers, answer pls!

[Reply #33 on:]

At this point the only reason I'm still watching this show is for a sense of completion..

[Reply #34 on:]

Bianca ruined you

[Reply #35 on:]

That was pretty amazing. The first half of the episode I was like "Huh? What? Where is this going?" and then the end...wow.

[Reply #36 on:]

I like the Man in Black now. Dammit Lost!

[Reply #37 on:]

I don't feel like retyping everything said in FC, so here it is

Show spoiler

<JoshTheater> that was awesome Amy
<JoshTheater> did we really need the flashback explanation?
<Amy> yah
<Amy> some people would
<Amy> so, because he "died" he could take on the form of his own body
<JoshTheater> Hardcore Lost fans didn't
<JoshTheater> indeed
<Books> um
<Books> The man in black
<Books> He was never dead..
<Books> Why was he dead at the end
<JoshTheater> Books, he was ALWAYS dead
<JoshTheater> that's the point
<Books> he was a ghost?
<Amy> He IS the smoke
<Amy> that is all he is
<Amy> its not life, and its not death
<Amy> but because his body was dead, he can take on that form
<JoshTheater> indeed
<JoshTheater> but he couldn't once his body decomposed
<Books> They did an Xavier thing, like in X Men, with the machine to connect to all the people
<Books> with the light
<Books> Whatever Lost
<Amy> whatever, gtfo books
<Amy> you suck
<JoshTheater> I hope they explain the light more
<JoshTheater> and why the Man in Black is special
<Amy> well
<JoshTheater> I was pissed they still didn't give him a name
<Amy> I think he said that cuz she knew he was evil
<JoshTheater> that's annoying, growing up without a name<JoshTheater> how did he know about using the light to build the donkey wheel?
<JoshTheater> Also, who DID build the donkey wheel, if he didn't?
<JoshTheater> or maybe he did, before he killed her
<Amy> josh, I think someone called him milo
<JoshTheater> what
<JoshTheater> when
<Amy> idk
<JoshTheater> I didn't hear that
<Amy> during it
<Amy> Im prolly wrong
<Amy> he knew how/what to build cuz the dead people told him, Im sure
<Amy> AND THAT IS WHY HE CAN CONVINCE DEAD PEOPLE TO DO WHAT HE WANTS
<Amy> AND THAT IS WHY MICHAEL MADE HURLEY GO SEE MIB
<Amy> I WIN
<Amy> josh, he still could have built it after dying
<Amy> in his human form he can hold things
<JoshTheater> true
<JoshTheater> I don't know about the convincing dead people to do what he wants, Amy
<JoshTheater> also Michael didn't tell Hurley to go see MIB
<JoshTheater> Hurley just had to come up with something to do so that's what he decided
<JoshTheater> Hurley lied and said that's what he was told to do, but then confessed to Jack that he had no idea and just bullshitted
<Amy> Josh
<Amy> late
<Amy> later
<Amy> michael told hurley
<JoshTheater> I don't remember that
<Amy> rewatch it
<JoshTheater> What other evidence do you have of MIB having the ability to control ghosts, Amy?
<JoshTheater> I really don't think this is true at all
<JoshTheater> Hold on though
<JoshTheater> The reason MIB is special is that he can see dead people
<JoshTheater> Hurley can see dead people
<JoshTheater> Hurley is like MIB then
<JoshTheater> OH SHIT
<JoshTheater> NO I LIKE YOU HURLEY
<Amy> JOSH
<Amy> I WAS IN THE SHOWER
<Amy> AND THINKING THE SAME THING
<Amy> ABOUT HURLEY
<Amy> Because Jacob brought the candidates to the island BEFORE he knew he was gonna die
<Amy> how do we know hurley isnt a candidate for mib
<JoshTheater> I didn't know MIB had candidates
<JoshTheater> o0
<Amy> well, we dont know
<Amy> thats the point
<JoshTheater> What language were they speaking at the beginning of the episode and why did they suddenly switch to English?
<JoshTheater> that was weird
<Amy> spanish
<Amy> I think they just switched to avoid subtitles
<JoshTheater> it didn't sound like Spanish
<Amy> it was the same different one as richard
<JoshTheater> it was really awkward though
<Amy> she said gracis
<JoshTheater> why have them speak spanish in the beginning at all
<Amy> k, so the lady gave her food to eat and then she could speak it
<JoshTheater> lol

[Reply #38 on:]

I can't believe Australian TV is airing these episodes straight away now! I'm going to wait until tonight and watch it on TV, just like I did in the beginning in simpler times. I did read the short blurb about it on Wikipedia though so now I'm extra excited..

[Reply #39 on:]

I read somewhere they were speaking Latin...

All the old island people spoke latin (like when they asked that cryptic question about who was standing in the shadow, or whatever it was? That was Latin. Wasn't it??)

I agree...  Smokey isn't MIB. Smokey is a completely independant entity and took over MIB's body after he died in the light hole. So, who/what is Smokey? How far back do we go!

Daww Adam and Eve - yeah. Righto.

I kept thinking how left of field it was that Jacob kept harping on to fake-mother about how much she loved MIB more than him. I never saw any impression of that, at all. Paranoooiiid. But really, it came across to me that when MIB was born he was completely unexpected. Real-mother didn't even know she was going to have twins, she didn't have a name picked out. And fake-mother didn't expect a second baby to be born either... how does this all play into the story... I haven't figured that out yet... it leaves too many questions right now for me..

Some people speculate that MIB's name will be Aaron. And will somehow tie together that way... with the mother abandonment, and being brought up by others... etc..

Ehhhh SO MUCH TO TAKE IN... but seriously, only 3 eps left and we spend a whole 42 mins on this episode? Now?? Yeerkk... hurry up Lost!
