LOST — Page 13

I just want to give a plug to the LOST forums I goto. http://www.lost.com/

With how they are rushing through things now, I wouldn't be surprised is that is the last we see of the statue. I imagine that they will explain verbally that "the others" are descendants of an ancient race who has been on the island for a very long time, and the statue was their handiwork. 

I wonder how many toes Ricardo Alpert has?

This out of order story telling method gets confusing. I wonder where Ben is at this time (LeFleur's "three years later" time). It is 1975, and since Ben was born sometime in the early nineteen sixties, he would be a teenager by this time. So I wonder if he is on the island yet, or if he is yet to arrive.

Another thing that is kind of weird, Richard always looks the same, no matter what time period he pops up in, same kind of clothing, same hair cut. However, when he meets Ben for the first time, he has kind of a shaggy hair thing going on, and is wearing tattered season-two-others style clothing.

I figured this was because the "hostiles" desguised themselves as primitives when appearing before the DHAMRA initiative much like they did to the castaways. However, in the last episode Richard had no problem showing up clean cut and nicely dressed in the barracks for all to see in the last episode.

Nobody around here really seems to care too much about this show, but since this is an SW forum, I thought it worth mentioning that episode thirteen of this season is called, "Some Like it Hoth" lol.

You know, I cannot imagine watching Lost and not being a SW nerd, you'd miss soooo many references.

I LOVE this show, and spend alot of time over at http://www.lost.com/

Do you think we will find out why the Donkey Wheel is frozen in this episode?

I still love this show...Probably my fave on tv at the moment!!

Being bored at work on Mondays we usually listen to a few Lost pod casts, which really does help fill in those missing blanks.

That's awesome, about the "Hoth" title; the creators of the show are big self-proclaimed SW fans, so it's neat that they're working it in like that (there have been a bunch of other SW references throughout the series -- one of my favorites was when Sawyer referred to Jin and Michael (during the building of the raft) as Han and Chewie).

At first I thought it was a typo in the listing I read and that someone accidentally put a h on the end of hot. Even if Hoth doesn't get an actually reference in the episode (I have a feeling it will, and that it will come from the mouth of Sawyer. Just a hunch I have.) but if not, we will at least very likely be getting some new info on the arctic station/outpost at the end of season two and the frozen donkey wheel.

It was pretty cool when they recreated the "No, no, NO. This one goes THERE, that one goes THERE." bit from ESB word for word with Jin and Michael building the raft.

This season has been great, show just gets better all the time. Feels weird to hear Jin speaking English now, he is like a whole new character.

Oh yeah, I was very much joking about the Alpert statue thing, and I actually didn't mean to suggest that it might be a statue of Alpert, but rather a product of his race of ancient four toed people ;)

That last episode was awesomness! I called the ending the minute Sayid said he now knew why he returned to the island, it is exactly the way I would have written it myself (if I were privillaged enough to write for such a show).

This season has been great. The closest thing to a perfect run they have had so far. If they can just keep it up for the last few episodes...

Hmm, interesting quotes. But I am pretty sure the guy is dead wrong. If I am right with my own theories of the show, then Faraday and Mrs. Hawking are not 100% wrong in his "if it didn't happen, it can't happen".

I think the writers meant it when they said Mrs. Hawkings rules of time travel are the rule they themselves will follow, and I am pretty sure they are still following that rule too (with the exception of Desmond's memory of Daniel popping into existence). They cited Heroes as an example of what a confusing mess things can become when time travelers are allowed to muck with everything, and they wanted to avoid this sort of thing themselves.

Daniel explained himself right before taking a deep breath and knocking on the door to the Swan that Desmond seemed to be different suggesting that the rule did not apply to him. Desmond has something special about him, and I might even go as far as to say that Widmore may have intentionally deployed Des on the island so that he could change the rules (if you remember last season, Ben was quite pissed at this changing of the rules). Keep in mind, no Desmond on the island, no Penny searching for it and finding it, and no Charlie opening up communications and allowing the freighter to find the island, which ultimately would mean no Keamy coming to the island and blowing a hole in Ben's adopted daughter.

I am willing to bet little Ben has not taken his last breath, and that a certain spinal surgeon is about to out himself as the workman he is not. And I am even more willing to bet that Benjamin Linus will grow up remembering the man who shot him, and the man who killed him. He has been pretty harsh on Sayid, because he tried to kill him, and he has always really liked Jack, and had confidence Jack could remove his tumor and knew he wouldn't let him die, because he didn't let him die when he was a kid. 

Crazy? Absolutely, and that is why we love it so much.

Anyone who has not seen last night's (Apr. 1st's) episode, "Whatever Happened, Happened", there are spoilers for that episode below.

Aright, so I was off a little bit, but I was right about Ben living and but it looks like I am wrong about Ben remembering everything. And I was way off about Jack helping him though.

If he remembered everything, then his obsession with Juliet (who is the one who wouldn't give up and let him die), and his harshness in using Sayid as his hitman. But from what Richard said, he will not remember any of the events surrounding his injury (cop out way of avoiding the issue). Kind of funny that it turns out Sayid's shooting Ben is what turns him into the monster he becomes.

A lot like that episode of The Outer Limits, where the girl goes back in time and kills Hitler as a baby, only for the woman in charge of taking care of baby Hitler to go buy a gypsy woman's baby from her in order to keep Hitler's parents from discovering that their son was kidnapped and murdered, which ultimately results in the historical Hitler we know.

Exactly what I thought.  Of course, the only alternatives were to let Ben die (which would negate all of the time travel rules they've been telling us about) or to have Ben remember everything and have recognized everyone the entire time they were on the Island (which retcons everything that has ever happened since we met "Henry Gale").  Either one would have upset me to no end.  However, a throwaway line by Richard does not satisify me.  The Island/Others having the power to alter memory would have been a useful feature before (in the future), and I would like to get more of an explanation than "it just does, ok?"

"John Locke and the Temple of Doom"

Just having some fun with Photoshop this morning.

Indy would have noticed the broken floor before Ben fell.

I'm not sure if you have to be on Facebook to see it, but I've been hosting a Lost Discussion with my friends on there.

Feel free to jump it if you want!

Last night's episode (titled "Some Like It Hoth") was strangly on topic for these boards.  Hurley in 1977 trying to write Empire Strikes Back from memory, making it a little better, and avoiding Return of the Jedi especially the Ewoks?  Awesome.

... holy shit.  Why did I not watch that last night?

Off to ABC's website to watch it in HD ......

I watch my episodes Thursday morning so I can do my Facebook recaps, but I almost didn't for this episode.  Miles-centered?  Come on.  The title was the only thing that inspired me to watch it instead of tossing the recap to someone else.  I'm glad I did.  Its only a couple scenes, but part of it is ACTUALLY THE MORAL OF THE EPISODE.  I'll let you watch it yourself.
