claire's *story* is really interesting but i don't think it's come up since the first series!

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 00:20 (seventeen years ago) link

she's jack's sister you buttheads

― this is cutty (mcutt), Monday, 19 February 2007 00:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I like her new fringe.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 19 February 2007 01:04 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, she looks really great in this last episode...

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 19 February 2007 02:57 (seventeen years ago) link

perhaps Charlie will accept his fate and go on a kamikaze mission to rescue Jack/some other herculean task to benefit everyone else.

That would be pretty great. Though I suppose it would take some more convincin by way of near-misses that Desmond saves him from. And then maybe the mission would serve a redemptive function and he would survive. Though he already very flagrantly cheated death one time (the hanging episode).

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Monday, 19 February 2007 05:55 (seventeen years ago) link

good point, he's already been dead (they never touched on whether he had any kind of NDE) once.

things that have not yet been mentioned/people who have not yet appeared this season:
- the two kids (and why they were out in the jungle with 'Others' bare-feet)
- rose and bernard
- rousseau
- michael and walt

also am i bein insane but is alex really the daughter of benryman and rousseau?

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 10:30 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't think so/think that would be stupid
but can't rule anything out

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 10:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I think she's DEFINITELY Rousseau's daughter but don't know whether Benry is her real dad or just her adoptive dad.

oh now i remember what i was going to say last week: rousseau *captured* ben. so either: no they've never met or: he raised alex 'as a father or: it was an inside job, rousseau helped benry get inside the losties' camp.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 10:38 (seventeen years ago) link

i need to watch the episode where the phoney psychic comes clean again.

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 10:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone else find the whole "Mr. Eko is dead, the island killed him" really unsatisfying and annoying since it was never alluded to again in this episode?

Yeah I was thinking about that too. I think focusing heavily on the flashback/dream/whatever took away a lot from what's going on on the Island at that moment. I mean, we really need to know what happens with Locke and looking north and I suspect by the time THAT episode rolls around, we've already forgotten why we should care.

I was just reading someone's complaint that at least part of why LOST is losing steam now is because there's too many personal subplots, whereas in the first season, everything that happened on the Island almost always involved the entire ensemble cast. It's really hard to follow what's going on with one group (Losties) when there's something else happening with another group (Kate/Sawyer) and yet another happening at the same time (Jack).

― Stuck in ILX Limbo (Roz), Monday, 19 February 2007 10:49 (seventeen years ago) link

i think the rigidity of the format (ie the one character, one flashback) thing makes it really difficult for them to handle simultaneous action, which is kind of annoying. i suppose the last episode only sovered a few hours of island time, but those hours were probably covered on the prison island in episode six. i think they either need to kill a bunch of people or figure out how not to ignore them so much of the time.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 10:52 (seventeen years ago) link

sounds like the ratings are slumping enough for them to probably try and wrap it up either this series or next woot

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:00 (seventeen years ago) link

perhaps Charlie is 'next' because as with Ana-Lucia and Eko he has killed an Other (as have Sun, Sawyer and now Juliet - possible clues as to who will cop it further on in the series)

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i doubt charlie will die really. it would be a bit straightforward.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:07 (seventeen years ago) link

perhaps the spirit of rock n' roll will perish within him.

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I sort of wish they'd mix up the Others Island stuff with the beach/ensemble scenes in each episode a bit more. Either that or have Locke, Sayid and Jin go in there and kick arse and get Jack back asap.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:10 (seventeen years ago) link

unfortunately Island Momus now has a name (SPOILERS DUH)

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:10 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a bit like in 'final destination' where all the characters are named things like 'alfred hitchcock'.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:14 (seventeen years ago) link

i am so psyched for Flame exploration

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:20 (seventeen years ago) link

been thinking over s03 and why i'm not quite feeling it enough yet and it comes down to: MORE SAYID PLZ, i think.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:25 (seventeen years ago) link

wash your mouth out. the fuck it has.

-- temporary enrique (miltonpinsk...), December 21st, 2006 2:46 PM.

but my frustration with the show was largely because i knew there'd be a big gap after the first 6. now it promises to be every week until the end i'm pretty happy with things.

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:55 (seventeen years ago) link

hmm. i was off my medication.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:57 (seventeen years ago) link

that or: i kind of knew the six wouldn't work, even though there were some great bits, but these last two haven't done it for me either. maybe they should have made the six *entirely* about jack kate and sawyer on the other island and not bodged the other stuff. thus ep 7 could have started with more of a bang. getting them *off* the island is/was a big chore.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:00 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah like what they did with the tailies. but that would have risked alienating the section of the fanbase who aren't Jack/Kate/Sawyer fans.

― Stuck in ILX Limbo (Roz), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Ben can't be Rousseau's husband, because he has been on the island his whole life, whereas Rousseau & fam & crew crashed there 16 years ago (I feel like I should specify "16 island years".

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:32 (seventeen years ago) link

only if you believe ben and rousseau! also he could have got rousseau preggers even if they are both telling the truth there. or juliet's magic drug maybe created her...

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

danielle was already pregnant with alex when she got shipwrecked right?

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:40 (seventeen years ago) link

SO SHE SAYS.

but yes.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:40 (seventeen years ago) link

err juliet's magic drug wasn't created in 1988.

― Stuck in ILX Limbo (Roz), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

only poxy fules are enslaved by time and space.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link

why lost is lost:

How to Fix It

For characters: Kill Jack. Kill Kate. Kill Nicki and Paolo (or whatever) and never, ever, ever make such a grade school attempt to introduce new characters again. Make Charlie interesting again instead of the whiny, jealous infant he became. Don't screw up Desmond. Cripple Locke and bring back his mystic bent. Let Sayid loose. More Sun & Jin. Make Sawyer say something besides "offensive attention-getter, unimaginative nickname. Sarcastic comment and/or question." Oh, and maybe explain where Danielle is after all this time.

― GAWD PVNCH (yournullfame), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Let Sayid loose.

Most truest of all.

― Bellicose Veins (Rock Hardy), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Charlie was never interesting.

Benry flashback is urgent and key (either tie-in with Rousseau/Alex or do separate ones for them also).

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

More Sayid. I've been saying it since, er, there stopped being so much Sayid.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I think they said somewhere the season would end with a Ben flashback.

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

i think the losties and others may kind of join each other in some way, at least by the end of the show.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm still pissed that Sayid's "Keep two, kill the rest" thing didn't come off.

― onimo (nu_onimo), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

are they going to give fuckface Pickett the same kind of funeral they gave his wife? how will Juliet explain his death to Tom, Ben and co? it's hard to imagine any of them giving a shit about him really.

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:26 (seventeen years ago) link

NRQ OTM. Eyepatchy dude + smokey monster (also possibly + barefooted kind posse [may still be other Others!]) may turn out to be shared enemies. Or maybe Jack + Ben + Juliet + Tom get kicked out of Othersville for their shenanigens.

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

barefooted KID posse

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

More Sayid. I've been saying it since, er, there stopped being so much Sayid.

I would love a show with Sayid just taking out Others Rambo-stylee. He can get rid of Charlie as well.

― The Many Faces of Gordon Jump (Leon), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

There's lots of reasons to miss Sayid, not just for his badassery: 1. he's this show's Professor, I miss him building radios out of coconut leaves and Hurley's butt-sweat, 2. of all the man-candy on the island, he is the Great Romantic, 3. Sawyer saved all his best nicknames (Cpt. Falafel) and zingers for Sayid.

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:41 (seventeen years ago) link

i had forgotten that he and hurley built a radio and heard the past. harumph.

'the wire' has ridiculously elongated stories, but it does at least touch base with minor characters from time to time.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Sayid had the best man-on-man friendships too (Sayid + Hurley, Sayid + Charlie esp), besides Sawyer and Jack (what a shame having 6 episodes starring both almost exclusively and no Jawyer/Sack time!!).

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Did anyone check out the Polar Bear Mural thing?

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:54 (seventeen years ago) link

One painting, in a style reminiscent of the mural Desmond painted on the Swan's wall on the Island, has polar bears, an inverted Buddha, mountain peaks, and the word Namaste on it. It and the third painting are on the wall opposite of the bar. Many viewers initially thought that the Namaste was written backwards. In the actual filming and the majority of the scene, the painting appears to Desmond's left, with Namaste written correctly. In initial shots the film was reversed, causing the painting to appear on Desmond's right with Namaste written backwards. It is unknown if this was intentional or not.

― Captain Purple Items (nu_onimo), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

In the orientation films they say "Thank you, namaste, and good luck" - namaste is a Hindi salutation.

― Captain Purple Items (nu_onimo), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

There have been a lot of paintings of a similar style in LOST (Hatch wall mural, this one, Claire's babydaddy's paintings, etc) - I think this is because they were all painted by director Jack Bender.
