Back, Forward, and Sideways - Official LOST Thread

Silly wamprat.....tricks are for kids!!!!! I'm not falling for that nonsense again!

 

ok all done with season five minus the last episode!!!

I sucked Rebecca into season 5 last nite she wasn't caught up...i kept telling her it was the best one so far!!!

honestly. Life & Death of Jeremy Bentham & He's our You...were just unbelievable.

The kid that they got to play ben....SUPER creepy!!!!

 

rewatching the incident. jacob is visiting the survivors....i love this show. can i just say that.

so excited about tomorrow.......

 

A trailer for the new episode...tonight! And it's not a Rick Roll, I promise.

 

which means that if it was on tonite then we talk about it.

 

well apparently i was right about the smoke monster. still confused as ever, but i guess i expected MORE answers

Thoughts? comments?

 

sooo is it an alternate reality? the bomb made the island go to the bottom of the ocean.

 

Yeah, I liked the candidates premise! It's the first plot line that I've really been captivated by for a while. Well, that and the alternates. I'm pleasantly surprised by this season.

 

Ok here is a pix of the wheel with everyone's names....there is a name we didn't see on the wall.

 

Am I correct in thinking that pure speculation, based off what has already aired and no advanced knowledge, is ok to post without blacking out the text?

Some friends and I have a loose theory. It sounds like the "candidates" are for someone to take over Jacob's position, right? Or at least maybe... depending on how much we can believe of what Smoke Monster says.

First - it looks like Jacob has been looking for these candidates for a long time. Why? Did he know he was going to be killed? Was he planning on leaving?

Second - what if the candidates are not to only take over his role? Could there be several archetype roles on the Island? For example, it seems pretty obvious that Claire has taken over aspects of Rousseau's role - arrives pregnant on the island, gives birth, her baby is stolen and she subsequently becomes a somewhat crazy wild woman opposed to the Others, who she says have stolen her baby. Likewise... more subtle, but I wonder about a parallel between Richard and Hurley. Both appear to follow Jacob's (or others') orders without knowing why they are doing what they are doing. And finally, could Smoke Monster be recruiting Sawyer to take over *his* role?

 

T i like your theories!!! very plausible.

TONITE TONITE THE SHOW IS ON TONITE.

singing it like westside story.

 

good point...and he was WATCHING everyone..

Ok so the black rock is a spanish ship right...and richard is aka ricardo. speaking of which were was he last week..he told sawyer they would be safe at the temple...is he hiding out waiting for his moment to strike? maybe he will hook up with jack and hurley since they are out on their own...

SO i think Jack is going to be the next Jacob...i think it was sort of foretold at the lighthouse in the episode before last. only 10 episodes left? BREAKS my heart!!!!

 

ok from last week's episode looks like Richard was from the Black Rock...freaking awesome when Jack sat down...i was grabbing the pillow covering my eyes...well sort of. hehe

very cool....

Personally i think that T's theories are right..i am calling Jack as the new Jacob.

 

i just wanted to say i was right on both counts

wow great episode...i like how they explained what the island does...i just liked it all, well done.

only 7 left!!! ACK!!!

 

Just wanted you all to know that I have now succumbed to the glowing crack known as Lost. Watched 4 eps yesterday and 4 the day before. At this rate I'll be caught up in no time.

 

it is my favorite show...period...let me know what you think!!!

 

Just saw the latest episode. This is wrapping up nicely!

 

Drats. I had a whole post typed up this morning and then my computer crashed before I could post it. And now I'm too lazy to type it all again.

One point I wanted to make though... I'm starting to think that Jacob's death wasn't part of his main plan. Rather, I think it was more that he had a contingency plan in case the MIB succeeded in killing him. There are two points for this. First, Miles' said that Jacob was hoping right until the last moment that Ben wouldn't kill him. Second, there was Jacob's speech about free will in the latest episode. I don't think it was what he wanted to have happen; he just planned for in case it did.
