So LOST kinda finally got good again last night (SPOILERS)

Post by **Fender** » Thu May 10, 2007 2:29 pm

Probably the biggest plot reveal we've had to date.

Anyone else still watching, or has everyone given up because it was boring and no questions were getting answered for a few months?

shhh !!!
still have to watch it.

it has picked up the pace again though. the first 6 eps of seas3 were a snorefest. naomi is a gift from heaven (olo pun)

Why does everything have to have some dude wearing eyeliner nowadays?

Haven't watched the last 10, now 11, episodes... And now something good happens...

But the thing is, I need to watch them others before I watch this one...

In short, I fucked up

Balls...

i thought last week's was pretty good. haven't seen this weeks yet so fuck off spoilers

Locke is fucked.
Also I bet Sawyer is going to die.

great ep :icon14:
it rocked how Locke owned pretty much the entire Others' camp. also, quite interesting that Richard was there before ben, but hasnt aged since

ownage
and. locke

I've read that we can expect 5 deaths in the month of May. Since one has already happened (Locke's dad) we can expect four more.
Judging by what happened to Locke I'd say he's one of them (though I'm not convinced).
I think Sawyer is now doomed since his flashback arc is completely tied up now since he got his revenge.
I would also bet Ben will die and, if Locke survives his wound, will be usurped by Locke as the other's leader.

aye, locke wont die. I mean, his flashback arc is also tied up but he's too important to the whole mythology plotline. also, when claire was taken we didnt expect her to be seen again but she returned regardless. something tells me they're going to do the same with locke. probably (or.. hopefully) as the new Others' leader. cause he's the shit like that

spoiler highlight to read

Ben shoots him.

I think killing off Sawyer just because his arc is complete would be a bit cheap.

Yeah after last weeks episode I thought "Maybe they just said it wasn't purgatory because they never thought people would catch on so fast. If this isn't purgatory, I don't know what is."

Yeah, yeah, it's all red herrings and whatnot, but airplane crashing, falling out of a helicopter, being in a car crash, getting lost with a sailboat, surviving gas attacks, ... all that seems to lead straight to the island.

Post by **MKJ** » Thu May 10, 2007 8:41 pm

true. however, since the show is due another 3 seasons, they wouldnt give it up in season 3. also, "zomg hell" (or purgatory) is just too easy, and a lot of it just wouldnt add up.

i'd be seriously disappointed if it were to be just dead people on their way to the afterlife. would ruin the whole hanso viral marketing campaign, too

Post by **SplishSplash** » Thu May 10, 2007 8:44 pm

hey, nobody said anything about giving up

Post by **MKJ** » Thu May 10, 2007 8:45 pm

i meant giving the jig up. especially in such a seemingly obvious red herring way through Cooper

Post by **SplishSplash** » Thu May 10, 2007 8:49 pm

True, the fact that he spelled it out is pretty much the only thing that convinced me that it can't be purgatory.

Post by **Pext** » Thu May 10, 2007 8:57 pm

well ~ i think locke can't reach full myth status without dying first, right?

yeah. you have to collect seven balls, gather them and summon a dragon ...

What do you mean. As opposed to what?

Killing a character off as soon as their character arc is complete is the appropriate time for them to exit the story. Such is literary convention.

Post by **Jackal** » Thu May 10, 2007 9:19 pm

My obligatory "out there" theory is that its the Garden of Eden.
Forbidden knowledge, no babies allowed, slithering snake monster thingy, etc.

Perhaps Dharma discovered the location of the Garden of Eden and wanted to harness its powers through science.

well they did find Adam & Eve

Sawyer's a funny character though and they keep enough other people around who just seem to fuck around all day without any real arc of their own. Sayyid, Charlie, the Koreans... yeah they all have their stories, but they're all kinda meh.
That doesn't mean I think they're bad characters, I'm just saying it's not so much an "arc or death" thing.

I have no theories for Lost anymore. This episode combined everything like every genre in sci/fi in one:

Time travel/ghosts/monsters/invisble man

Come one wtf, it's not fun anymore, if the wrighters say that they have a logical explanation for everything then they really gonna have to reveal something very soon before I stop watching it.
