Television Lost: The Final Season
- Thread starter The Flying Potato
- Start date
It's the only positive of being a jobless student
feck it...I'm staying up. 5 minutes now, no point going to sleep now really is there.
Do you work Mockney?
I shall avoid this thread now then til tomorrow afternoon. I'll spend the day watching it get bumped and feeling sad.
Just click that link and watch it Sol...you know you want to
It's really really interesting so far.....hehe
Epic!
Yeah, that was a rather good episode.
Nice background on Richard there. I want to know Flocke's real name though. Setting up for a good second half of the season
That was very good.
Why didn't Ricardo use his feet more when he was chained up?
Ricardo asking to live forever didn't really make much sense. I suppose it fills in one of the blanks though.

The priest said he didn't have enough time to repent and redeem himself for taking a life ?
Things we learnt from this episode:
*Richard has been around from the 19th century.
*The black rock broke the statue.
*Smokey killed the crew of the black rock and only left richard alive so that he could manipulate him into killing jacob.
*The island is a prison for the smokey and if he escapes evil will spread throughout the world.
*The name of the island is Cork
*The knife that the smokey gave richard to kill jacob is the same knife that sayid planted in his chest.
*Jacob taught dogen martial arts.
Good episode that...should have been longer.

No hiatus. Episodes straight until May 4th (5th in Britain). Don't know what happens after that but the finale is going to be on May 23rd (24th). I'm telling you this here because you probably shouldn't check Wikipedia's list of Lost episodes. There was an episode whose central character was obviously hidden for a reason and it was just revealed.
Really sad when today's episode ended, but things do make a bit more sense now.
Ohhh yeah, of course.
I blame it on 6am.
Asking to live forever still wasn't very well thought out by him though.
Interesting that Jacob said the island was analogous to the cork and not the whole bottle-cork combination.
This suggests something underworldly... like the island is a cap to something. We've seen Smokey come from under the underneath of the temple wall (when it turned into Ben's daughter after rising through the grate).
I'm still hoping on a volcano

I'm assuming a Tsunami broke the statue, or at least carried it onto the statue with enough force to both break it and carry the ship inland. A wooden ship isn't going to break a stone statue
Brilliant episode.

Fantastic ep and Nestor's best performance without a doubt.
did you cum ?
It clearly showed the black rock smashing into the statue...although the force of the tsunami might have softened up the statue before the ship collided with it.
I bet it seemed a good idea at that time...feck even i'd be tempted now
Brilliant episode
So the island is a cork stopping evil from being released, what does this mean for the alternate reality then? The island is sunk but the world seems fine, better even for most of the losties.
Jacob says he doesn't want to interfere but surely bringing Jack, Hurley, Sun etc to the island is interfering.
Interesting that they used the whole 'stab him before he speaks to you' thing again. If MIB can't be killed by knife but Jacob can that seems a bit unfair, wonder how MIB can die then.

feck yeah that was awesome
Top episode.
Vida what makes you think the island is called Cork? I thought that was just a metaphor by Jacob.
Nestor Carbonell was very good, liked his back story a lot. Anyone notice the ships Captain was called Hanso? Can't remember the first name but it wasn't Alvar, which means Alvar Hanso is a descendant of him, which is how he knew about the island to fund the Dharma Initiative.
Was great to see more MIB in his original form, or at least the form we first saw him in. I wonder what he used to look like.
The cork thing is very cool, at least now we know the island has an actual purpose, rather than our Survivors fighting to save it just because it's special. Now they have a real reason and purpose. Some drive.
It kinda confirmed Smokey = Bad and Jacob = Good which I know was already guessed by many but they left it ambiguous for a reason.

Magnus Hanso, Alvar's Grandad, alot of him and his connections to the Black Rock were covered in TLE
Best episode of season 6 that !!
Great acting by Nestor as well. Gripped from the start to end. Might just re-watch on Friday as well.

awesome ep!
though i dont understand why there was a Sherman tank in the jungle?
I'd put them as a parallel
Best episode of the Season, and one of the top top episodes of LOST. Loved every minute of it, wish it had been longer.
Awesome stuff. And thats what most people are calling the island now. I guess some folks are talking it too literally since it was only a metaphor.
And wasn't Carbonell amazing? I was sure that I had hyped up the episode too much in my head but it lived up to all the expectations.
I love the chemistry between Jacob(Mark Pellegrino) and MIB(Titus Welliver) in the few scenes they have had together. Its almost as if they've both grown weary of fighting for centuries, so they've learnt to be cordial when they meet each other. Also like how the writers actually have us hanging on to each word that those two might say because it might have immense implications. Bastards !!

And I really don't think it's clear cut that Jacob is NOT the enemy / devil...theres ambiguity on both sides, although the pionters heavily stack towards MIB, but Lost often want us to believe one thing and ignore another.
Here's another 4 letter word ting from the same source;
This word has no A's, one E, and as of episode 11 it will be clear that this four-letter word is what this series is ultimately all about
I thought
evil
Was a good episode but is getting way too much praise.
Their explanation of ship breaking the statue and then landing in the middle of the jungle was lame to say the least.
Jacob brought the ship to the island to prove MIB wrong and then just let him kill all the people on board bar Richard? What?
Conversation between between Jacob and Richard was poor. I was expecting something monumental like the interaction between Jacob/MIB in S5 finale, Ben/Wildmore or numerous Jack/Locke ones. But it seemd very quickly stitched up to answer some questions.
The last sequence between Richard, Hurley and Isabella was way too melodramatic for my liking.

Crusty's is far more likely a reckon....The first one has been pretty stenuously denied I'm sure. I think they ruled out it being anything religious in the first season after all the purgatory speculation...I think at any rate...Plus Jacob pretty much dunked that theory - literally.
How exactly does a wooden ship break a freakin' 100 foot statue to pieces??? Was it made out of paper mache?!
One thing I don't get...
So we see in this episode that they washed up in the middle of the island thanks to a tsunami or something, yet in the episode where Jacob and MIB are introduced we see the ship not too far off shore and the weather's pretty fine.. Hmm?
