Lost season 6 with spoilers beware

[cboath]

Ecko was a member of the tail section of that flight.

Remember, the alternate timeline was created with the H-bomb in 1977, the timelines don't diverge in 2004, but 27 years prior. Different people could easily be on the plane in that scenario.

I don't expect to see Ecko back. The purportedly had a much bigger role for him in the grand scheme of things be he decided he wanted out of the deal while shooting season 2. Fairly safe to assume then he didn't get on the alternate timeline flight.

Honestly, I'm just along for the ride at this point. I've given up trying to figure anything out and I'm just letting them tell me the story. hahaha

That's been my attitude all along. My mom is all about reading all kinds of forums and even sent me a pages-long theory someone posted. I had to tell her I didn't read it, being interested in the creators' take only.

"But who do you think X is? Why do you think Y did that?"
"I'm sure they'll tell me in an episode or two."

Drives her nuts.

Same here. I'm much more interested in the characters' journeys and not trying to "figure it out."

I loved that when Sayid is driven up to Omer and Nadia's place the unseen cab driver says, "Meter doesn't stop until you get out, pal."

And it's Hurley's voice.

We know it probably isn't Hurley, because in that timeline, he's a successful businessman. It's like when Rosseau's Frernch team is in the past and they hear hurley's voice reading the number over the radio. WTF!

Hey, if Hurley replaces Jacob, then it could very well be that the voices you hear are supposed to be his - a little bit of manipulation on his part while maneuvering through space and time.

As for the skeletons in the cave, I have been hoping for a while that it is Rose and Bernard. Having separated themselves from the rest prior to the 1977 blast, I have a hunch they did not time travel to 2007. When the original timeline (post-blast) continued something could have happened that could/would drive the couple from their shack - a crackdown on strangers by the Dharma folks. They could have gone back to the cave to live or at least sought refuge their later and possibly died together at the hands of Dharma, or by suicide, or by the poison released by the Others that killed the Dharma folks.

Is it me, or does anyone want to see the "real" locke come back to life and take on Smokie in a battle for all of mankind. I just miss the old Locke, and although confused in life, maybe after death, he has realized his purpose for everything. As said in the episode where Ben stangles him, it is titled "The life and death of Jeremy Bentham" not John Locke. :confused

I always feel kind of guilty doing a pointer here to my commentary on this week's LOST ep:

http://www.spectacularry.com/?p=104

...but I swear I'm not trying to drive traffic there at the expense of your RPF-reading experience. It's just the damn thing's always so dense with info and speculation that if you come here looking for some sort of aluminum milled locking ring or to argue with Gino about T-tracks or something, chances are you're not going to have noticed Desmond in the recruitment poster in the background of Locke's interview at Hurley's temp agency in Dimension X:

...and I don't want to waste your time going off about it and stuff like that here. For example.

But.

I also mention there's a 108 stitches in Dogen's baseball. :lol

I missed the first few minutes on Tuesday, so I watched it yesterday and I don't think that was Hurley's voice as the cab driver.

Yeah, I just cued it up again on the TiVo and you're right, it doesn't sound much like Hurley at all. But there's something about the cadence and the pitch that makes me think it's Jorge Garcia's voice that's been played with. It's not like this show doesn't mess with backward masking and "the whispers" and whatnot...

But, yeah, Tuesday night I would have bet money that was Hurley, but it's not... exactly.

Still... :wacko

I was away and just now caught last weeks episode.

Something that keeps coming back to me was that prediction by the crystal baller that Claire's baby needed to stay with her or something bad would happen. I thought they meant the baby would be bad, but maybe it was that Claire would turn.

My guess is the alternate timeline is the series' "happy ending" - the main characters are all much happier there. Whatever happens at the end will probably result in the 'alternate' timeline being the true/final version.

I think this is a good guess, all the characters get what they want in the alternate timeline - supposedly because of what they are doing in the real one...

That may well be.

 

[MooCriket]

I am really looking forward to some of the upcoming eps. I am curious to see if Jacob and Smokey will turn out to be Jacob and Esau, or completely different people.

I also cant wait for the Richard centric episode the end of this month where we will finally find out why he does not age. "You're going to see mostly the origins of Richard in [episode nine]. They're going to tackle some of the present-day stuff on the island, but not much of it. You're going to get answers to why Richard has this sudden phobia of Locke and why it's as strong as it is." -SpoilerFix.com

I know it has been talked about before, regarding Richard being a slave trader or something along those lines "hence the chains", but I wonder if he goes back even farther, like an Egyptian warrior or something along the lines of that. I also wonder when all is said and done if not only someone will take the place of Jacob/Smokey, but also Richard's role on the island?

 

[cboath]

I can see Hurley as the new Richard.

 

[Guri]

Ben Linus is one of the most interesting, complex characters to hate/love on television. At first I thought John Locke speaking up to encourage him to go after power was a really supportive move, until it seemed to ignite into a moral conflict. Alex showing up was da bomb.

And Richard. Prediction so many have made were true, he is from The Black Rock.

Oh, and Jack seems to be catching on to the faith thing.

Very satisfying episode.

 

[BIKERFETT]

SOOOO all the losties that jacob has touched cant die? Does this relate back to Michael saying that he couldnt die even though he had tried to kill himself several times.

Biker

 

[MooCriket]

I agree, I enjoyed this episode very much. I often hated Ben's character early season's ago, but man I was really hoping he would not get killed tonight...and I was not dissapointed He really redeemed himself with the information he received in the flash sideways. I am happy that it would also appear that he is done with being Smokey's pawn on the island.

It was nice to see William Atherton (Walter Peck-Ghostbusters/Diehard, etc.) playing the sleezy principal.

Jack has done a 180 from last season. I am finally starting to like him. I wonder what Widmore was doing in the sub? I also really loved Hurley's comedic relief on the Black Rock:thumbsup

 

[SmilingOtter]

Jacob's touch doesn't neccesarily grant immortality - his meeting with Kate and Sawyer happened when they were young, and they seem to age like anyone else. Maybe the immortality only kicks in on the island.

 

[Starkiller0613]

Richard just said that when Jacob touches you, it's considered a gift. He didn't say what kind of gift. It doesn't have to be the same gift even for that matter, so who knows what it means for the characters exactly when he touched each of them except that it might be considered a gift of sorts. I'm sure we will get to see things play out in a way that will show why jacob did what he did and what it means that he touched each one of them.

 

[Starkiller0613]

...at least I hope. Or else I'm gonna be pissed. Ha!

 

[TheMechanic]

I'm not convinced that Jacob is the 'good' guy. I think he is a master manipulator who lured people to the island only to play his sick little game that the 'man in black' didn't seem to be into. He also imprisoned the 'Man in Black' as a smoke monster and wouldn't let him leave the island. Why?

Also, when Dogan tested Sayid he only said there was a scale of good and evil and that Sayid's tipped 'the wrong way'. He did not say which way was the wrong way. Maybe he saw that Sayid was indeed a good man and that's not what they wanted to find.

I think that maybe our folks on the island have been pawns of Jacob from the beginning, made to think they're fighting for the good side but I think they're being played.

Widmore knows what's going on. He told Locke that a war was coming.
