Back, Forward, and Sideways - Official LOST Thread

"Taller Ghost Walt" - I love that. Gotta give props to the writers for acknowledging an obvious incongruity due to the actor-kid growing faster than his character, and a sizable portion of the fanbase calling them on it in the past.

Ben, I agree with your assumption as to whom Ben was referring as his inside guy on the freighter.

Should be interesting to see how Ben's connection with the new characters plays out.

I'm gonna be bummed when these 8 episodes are done...

 

I didn't feel that excited about it as you did. I'm sure I will watch all of the episodes but I'm sure I will not be happy with the outcome.

Some things were neat, other things make it just seem silly now. We did save it to watch it again & I will keep these things in mind.

 

I think it's 31 minutes in the past, actually. Otherwise the missile would have landed before he even called for it.

The two clocks read:
Island Clock - 2:45:03
Missile Clock - 3:16:22

I guess future episodes will further explain this? Though I doubt it since each episode raises more questions than it answers...

 

Amen sister!

 

wait there are only 8 new episodes?? what the crap!

 

Jeff saw the Aaron thing coming a mile away, but what is Jack thinking? She had his kid? She said like twice, you need to see him, like that will explain everything kind of way.

I'm just too confused about the 'Oceanic 6' to even start to spill my thoughts, why did they now say 8 and would Ben be considered on of those 6 or 8, and if so how? He was already there, was there a second crash? Because a lot more then 8 survived the first time.

Maybe I"m just watching this & picking up on one point here, & one point there & not getting the whole thing. My heart is just not into it

And thoughts will help.

 

I think they're protecting the people that chose to stay behind. IF they were to say "Oh, like 15 people decided to stay on the island" then families and authorities would want to look for those 15 people and ruin the whole set up.

 

i don't think that ben is considered one of them.

so so far...

we have
jack
kate
syid
hugo
aaron

we have one more.................

 

I don't think Aaron counts in one of the Oceanic 6 as Kate is playing him off as her son, not a baby from a flight passenger.

So technically we have 2 more.

 

ok i am going back to watfch the preview from two weeks ago...i am pretty sure they said another one of the six will be revealed....one moment please.

ok...bad robot....nex thursday an all new LOST...blah blah blah except for the ocean 6 that have been rescued and the next one who will be revealed.

ok i took as they were going to reveal the next one of the 6 would be revealed.

 

This is my speculation from what I've been gathering of their habit of surprising people.

Jin and Sun will be the last 2 of the Oceanic 6 since Sun said she wants to raise their baby on Korea.

 

I think we're starting to be given more clues as to the possible time dilation/travel properties of the island.

These ABC sneak peeks of the forthcoming episode this week seem to speak to that effect. NOTE*** some may consider these spoilers: http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2008/02/episode-405-constant-trailer-and-sneak.html

What I've always enjoyed about this show is that the Devil always seems to be in the details. Locke serving Ben eggs from the last chicken (Chicken/Egg parallel), Hurley watching Xanadu, Sawyer reading "The Invention of Morel", Locke offering Ben the book "Valis" by P. K. Dick, Locke & Sawyer playing backgammon (remember when he taught Walt how to play back in Season 1, saying something to the effect of "two sides, black & white"?), Locke now playing black and Sawyer white. Have new sides been officially chosen? New lines drawn in the sand? Why $3.2 Million, why not $3.3 or $3.4? Ben seems to figure it out at the same time he asks the question. Dan & Charlotte playing Jedi mind trick with the flash cards. Why did it seem that Dan was having trouble remembering the cards?

I'm definitely bummed by the prospect of an 8-episode limited season...

 

I believe there are 5 additional episodes slated to begin airing late April-ish, for a total of 13?

 

Stacy, your link is dead.

 

I think Jack is or feels responsible for something that is going to happen to Claire, and doesn't want to see Aaron because of it.

 

Remaining episodes this season:

Episode 5: Tonight
Episode 6: March 6
Episode 7: March 13
Episode 8: March 20
Episode 9: April 24
Episode 10: May 1
Episode 11: May 8
Episode 12: May 15
Episode 13: May 22 (season finale)

 

I'm wondering if Locke is going to somehow end up being one of the Oceanic 6. It doesn't make sense given how much he is determined to stay on the island... but remember the first flash-forward? Someone had died, and it was aparently someone that both Jack and especially Kate didn't like. Yet Jack felt there was some connection there that prompted him to go to go see th casket. So who would they both really not like that much? Maybe either Ben or Locke?
