Good interview with Damon Lindelof...

I think we tend to use the monster when it relates directly to informing character, as opposed to just an arbitrary plot device that can move the trees around and make scary noises.

haha, really? because it seems more like the latter these days. also, gotta love painting the death of eko as a sort of simpsons-writers-esque MESSAGE TO THE FANS.

I just read that interview with DL upthread:

There have been sort of vague questions as to how much story we have or what the plan is, and I think that the only thing that I’ve ever said on the record is that if we were in a position to actually end the show on our own terms, that it would probably be at the end of four years. That would be the ultimate nexus point for the show. But unfortunately, it’s completely moot whether it’s four years or five years or seven years, because I don’t own the show and [co-creator and executive producer] J.J. [Abrams] doesn’t own the show and [executive producer] Carlton [Cuse] doesn’t own the show - Touchstone and ABC own the show. And as long as it’s a show that is popular and that people are watching, they’ll never let us end it, which is sad and depressing.

I never knew this was how things in TV work. I was actually really hoping for them to end it at season 4/5 because I can totally see myself losing interest after the 4th year or so, if there are too many things unanswered.

And at the rate they're going, it's gonna be really tough to deal with the timeline - Losties are still in 2004 and we're in 2007 already.

― Stuck in ILX Limbo (Roz), Monday, 12 February 2007 19:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I kind of hope after 4 or 5 years they have a finale that, while maybe not the END of the show is so obviously "GUYS STOP WATCHING NOW WE ARE JUST DOING IT BECAUSE THEY MAKE US FROM THIS POINT ONWARD" it will practically be an ending.

I want the series finale to resolve almost everything but leave them on-island, so they can save the getting-off-the-island for a BIG SCREEN MOVIE EVENT. Terry O'Quinn's bald-ass head, LARGER THAN LIEF.

awesome!

time manipulation theory is a GO.

― Rick Gibralter (grady), Monday, 12 February 2007 23:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Time flux is necessary addition to the show's mysteries probably because they want Malcolm David-Kelley to play Walt again in season 4 but also want it to make some kind of sense that he's now an adult-sized teenager (as opposed to 10 yrs old). Luckily it is also kind of interesting.

So I looked up the domain registration for http://www.mittelosbioscience.org

And it's actually registered to Richard Alpert, and he gives a Portland, OR registration address, but a fake phone number. ARG maybe starting up again?

― Brig. Chop Them Up (scarymonster), Monday, 12 February 2007 23:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Rousseau has never mentioned what year it was when she crashed, I just realized. All we have there as far as defining time data is the sixteen years the message has been repeating - on the island.

xpost I read on thefuselage.com that that is supposedly a fan-site, but it sure is fucking fancy-looking to have been slapped together by LOST fans.

I still really want an other to use the line "nah...we were just fucking with you guys that time!". preferably Tom...."the lists?? you believed the lists!??"

Yeah, this is taking a lot of getting used to. Pinch me?

Hey on another subject, in season two, does anyone when Jack and Kate meet the others in the woods, while trying to get Michael back, whether Tom says "you stay on your half of the island" or "you stay on your side of the island"?

― the people's prince (jergins), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 11:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Side.
Two days.
I do love Tom. I love the way he scurried for Jack after showing his blood revulsion.
i got really annoyed at Evangeline's two acting skills - kicking ass and sobbing into a microphone (walkie talkie) while doing her sad darting eye thing.
Why did she have to fall down, just like she does every time they run through the jungle? Not her fault, but...it's such a trope at this point.
And as has been pointed out upthread (the one in heaven/space)hammering the head of what's his face until he is left twitching should not have been resolved as what's his face suddenly awakening and escaping the cage to kill them.He shoulda been dead! or really disabled!
i hate any and every dramatic scene that has a female protaginist fumbling with whatever important thing she is handling.
it is done to death. the fluttering hands just don't fucking work any more.
Another fucking trope! I am really embracing my profanity this morning!
Kate fumbling with the lock, the walkie talkie, etc. needs to stop.
Anywhoo, I ate some great pasta carbonara last night! And now my tummy hurts:(

If they don't start asking TechnoKarl questions like "WTF do the Others do/want ffs!?!?!" in the next few episodes, I will go mentalistic. Actually, because that would be so simple, I fully expect Karl to die as soon as he gets back to Lostie home base.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I was actually thinking he would die on the way back, and then Alex would hate them and not be their friend and not meet her birth mom and be emo with those big blue eyes of hers swoon.

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

My guess is that they make a big deal out of deprogramming him after all the others' happy sunshine videos he watched.

― Slump Man (Slumpman), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link

In true LOST fashion he will probably survive, but his arrival to camp will be largely (if not entirely) ignored, no Sayid questioning, no Locke sweatlodge deprogramming, not even a "dude who're you?" from Hurley.

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

He is a tap of answers and information. He's so fucking doomed.

least favorite part about show.

― Rick Gibralter (grady), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

FWIW I actually like Karl and hope he isn't as underutilized as I expect him to be. Not just as a plot device, but as a character. In fact...

MY PLEA TO DAMORN LINTELORF: PLEASE KILL NIKKI AND PAULO AND MAKE ALEX AND KARL REGULAR ACTORS-NAMES-IN-CREDITS FLASHBACK HAVING CHARACTERS PLZ THX.

PS ALSO TOM.

If "everybody" = me and Melton, obv.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

other than that, 100% agree.

actually, given Tom's "big friendly bear" demeanor of later episodes (as opposed to the growling Zeke persona), is there any chance that he (or any of the other regular Others) are brainwash victims themselves?

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I think Tom is a THESPIAN, whereas we saw him as this growling scary kid-stealing guy come to life off the Gorton's fishstick box in the pre-Others Experience days, I think we're now supposed to get that he was just sort of hamming it up and playing a part (a part that involved kidnapping, raft-exploding, and bola-ing, but whatever).
