LOST...Season 6

[ricojes]

You guys are good. I thought he just looked like a guy who was very confused as to why someone would run his ass over.

I actually thought locke looked exactly like he did when Jacob touched him after being pushed out of the window by his father, but that's just going off memory, as I haven't rewatched any episodes...

 

couple question...

 

What was in the pouch that Hurly took from Ilana's possessions? Was it Jacob's ashes? And why was Ilana handling the dynamite, Richard could have juggled them things and wouldn't have blown himself up...

yes, while some thought that it might have been the diamonds, it's come to light that it was in fact Jacob's ashes.

 

i agree that Locke looked a lot like he did after the fall. thought the same thing myself.

LOL I was going to bump it myself but you beat me to it.

 

Saw on the cast listing for this week that David (Jack's sideways son) is back, so perhaps we'll see a Jack-centric sideways story. You have to figure that if Locke survives Des running him over that he head to Jacks hospital. I'm starting to think, however, that Des meant to kill Locke...don't know exactly why...just have a feeling.

LOST 6.13 | "The Last Recruit" | 9 p.m. ABC

 

The Lockeness monster's camp merges with Jack's, and alliances are forged --- and broken.

One question. Apparently, in the sideways world, Leonard was never rendered.... how do you say.... near-catatonic due to his listening-post surveillance of the island. How did Hurley get the numbers? Or... did he get the numbers and "open the box"? Did he win the lotto? It wasn't really explained where he got his money, right?

A former Western New Yorker is one of five finalists in the contest to have a fan's promo air during the second-last episode.

We can vote for his entry this week. Here's a story about him with a link to the contest site.

Lost glory?

I think it was explained in "Everyone loves Hugo" during the presentation at the beginning, something about working his way up Mr. Clucks and buying a franchise, and then all of the other projects helped make him very rich. I think anyway, I'll be watching it again on my DVR later.

what hazed said. it was mentioned that it was his love for chicken which drove him to open his first restaurant, and then he franchised from there. no lottery. no numbers.

He did win the lottery, Hurley mentioned it to Sawyer in this season's season opener on the "sideways" Flight 815.

 

From Lostepidia: Episode LAX Part 1:

 

"Leslie Arzt is pestering Hugo Reyes to do an impression of a character in his Mr. Cluck's commercial. Arzt finds it hysterical, then asks how a guy like him came to own a major corporation like Mr. Cluck's. Hurley replies that he won the lottery and happens to like chicken, leading a downcast Arzt to quickly excuse himself. Sawyer warns Hurley not to share his lottery win with strangers, saying it will make them try to take advantage of him, but Hurley brushes it off: can't happen, because he's the luckiest man alive. "

good catch!!

[SonOfWade]

good catch!!

 

I remember thinking (at the time) that Sawyer was going to con poor Hurley. Little did we know Sawyer was on the other side of the law.

Last weeks promo to get you pumped up for tonight...

 

 

I have to say that this promo is pure genius. The Wonka song/lyrics so embodies Season 6 and the last few crazy episodes to this wonderful shows conclusion.

[Hazed and Amuzed]

good catch!!

 

Good catch indeed

You know, the next day, I was thinking the Gene Wilder lyrics were a little dig on the 'sky-is-falling-and-Lindelof-&-Cuse-don't-know-which-end-is-up' fans. Lord knows there's plenty of them.

 

Willy Wonka knew exactly what he was doing and everything that was going on with the machinations of his factory. The only wild cards were the kids and guardians: would they prove themselves, or create havoc through their choices (usually aggressive ignorance / lack of any willpower to not f--- things up, in their glee) the way kids do in their Small Drunk Adult way? You could well argue that Wonka was just screwing with their minds on the boat, working up the paranoia in a sarcastic sort of way --- 'We're all gonna die... or something even worse!!!'

 

I'm enjoying the last bit of ride we've got left, and I trust that LOST's Messrs. Wonka are saving the best for last and that there will be a good (not necessary happy) conclusion.

Did I read that Losts' series finally is going to be 3 hours long?

Actually, 5 hours.

 

There will evidently be some kind of 2-hour build-up (I'm not sure if it's going to be a new episode in the 8 p.m. slot, or if it'll be a repeat of the previous week, which is my guess), starting at 7 p.m. on 23 May. Then, two hours of the episode titled, "The End" and then Jimmy Kimmel is going to have an entire-cast interview on his show.

[duey]

Wow...that was fun. Too many classic Sawyer quotes to post right now. An amazing episode that will require a decent nights sleep to digest.

question: did this change over the course of the season ala some other revelations on that flight. i seem to remember it being the franchise, and then this is 100% true too.....

 

potential other examples

 

1)desmond had a wedding ring on the plane, after, not so much

2)claire had the name aaron picked out when talking to kate, didnt know the sex when talking to desmond

 

i think things in sideways are not so cut and dry, perhaps not totally linear in nature. or maybe there is just a ton of stuff to keep track of haha

[UConn James]

I dunno, duey. My digestion is pretty good. Made the weekly pizza... but starting this week, it'll usually be on store-bought French bread (from their bakery), rather than from-scratch dough. It's going to start getting too hot for the oven to be on for very long. Plus, with our new GSP puppy, it's a handful to keep an eye on him and do all that mixing, rising and rolling stuff. I dunno. I'm not very keen on starting a LAMP to discuss that whole thing of loss-->despair thing 2 years ago and how we're starting out with a new little guy. But, maybe. Anyway. *cough* Once more unto the breach, dear friends!

 

In the Answers Will Be Questioned pile:

FLocke admitted that it was he who took the guise of Christian Shepard on Day 3 after the 815 crash. Do we believe him? That was a heck of a pause before he said it was.

 

Positively looked like an episode of "Survivor" what with all the little factions and groupings colluding on who's going to do what, who's on whose side, etc. OK, Sawyer thinks Claire is psycho... not without reason. But, she gets on the boat at the goading of Kate, who sings, "I ran all the waaaay here.... just to say I'm sorry. To take you back to Aaron. I ran all the waaaay." Something weird for me is that Claire didn't ask, and Kate didn't say where/who Aaron is with now. Were Kate to say that she gave Aaron to Claire's mother for the time being, that opens a whole new avenue for her.

 

Loved the interplay b/w Sawyer James Ford and Kate at the police station. Again, we get Miles saying "jabrony" only this time, I actually know what it means.... Ditto on a great scene b/w Sawyer and Jack on-board the Elizabeth. Jack talking about destiny, the feeling the last time he left the island... that it was like a part of him was missing.... Sawyer wants none of it. "They make pills for that, Doc."

 

Sayid was sent to shoot Desmond in the well, and said he did. Contrary to Doc Jensen's wrapup last week, the well is really not that deep. (I didn't agree when he wrote that either. The torch only dropped for ~ a second. Regardless, I don't see how Sayid would've shot Des. It seems like there is a glimmer of a human in there somewhere. We still don't know if Sayid is referring to Nadiya or Shannon, or whether Smokey's promise is supposed to come to pass in the sideways world or still to come in the original timeline.

 

But then, FLocke seemed to have no freakin' clue what Sun was talking about with her period of seeming cross-interference b/w the sideways and original world vis-a-vis her inability to speak English and identifying Locke as they were being unloaded from the ambulances in the hospital.

 

Who exactly was "the last recruit" tonight? Was that supposed to mean Jack? Claire said as much, that by allowing FLocke to speak to him, Jack chose his 'side.' Jack --- seemingly Jacob's favorite --- is with FLocke now!!?? And yet, in the sideways world, we're liking how his relationship with David is growing and bonding. The question I'm left at the end is whether Jack will, during the surgery, flash on who Locke is/was/will be and what he'll do as a result.

 

Funny thing with Jack's reaction to Claire's news at the will reading. He had the exact same reaction at Christian's wake when he found out from Claire's mom that Claire is his half-sister. He touches his temple in the same spot and turns away.

 

But, maybe the biggest thing tonight was the event 3 seasons and 3 years of island time --- through time itself(!) --- in the making, Sun and Jin are together again in the original timeline. But rather than a pagoda, they meet under the shadow of the semi-permanent pylons. The reunion, tho, is all too brief. Looks like Widmore has changed his plans. Everyone on their knees! Sending rockets into FLocke's camp... that can kill anyone but FLocke. Doesn't appear that Widmore is on anyone's side but Widmore's... one thought of mine this week is that he may want MIB in order to take over his immortality. Here's a guy we've seen from age 17 dressed as an American soldier, age 40 as Faraday was killed, age 55 being booted from the island and now 67-70 in the course of the 2004-2007 timelines. He's someone who likes old things that have become valuable. Someone who had leadership of the island and lost it by trying to set himself up in the outside world. Trying to find the electromagnetic pockets, of which he was told of one by John Locke that sent him 3 years into the future. Stands to reason, then, that Widmore might be searching for a pocket that'll send him into the past, etc., or one that might give him the same powers as MIB? I dunno. I just had a queasy feeling when he made that original deal with Sawyer. Widmore never said what he was at the island for --- Sawyer surmised that Widmore wanted to kill FLocke, and the old chap just played along.
