Three hour premier! Whoo!
FUCK! Im only 3/4s through Season 2!
Then you'd better get on that!Three hour premier! Whoo!
Three hours?! OMG yes! I can't wait for this!
Every time I think about this show, I am puzzled as to why I keep watching. I mean, it is seriously awful. That aside it is sooo goooood.
I'm curious how much of the next two seasons are going to take place on the island at all. Like, we see how the Oceanic 6 get off the island, and we've got a good idea of who's left on the island, so we've all but reached the point of the flash-forwards, so I'm guessing these next two seasons are going to focus on Jack and Ben getting Locke's body back to the island, but apart from that I have no idea how they're going to use the rest of the time they've got.
But let's be serious. If anybody can stretch a simple plotline into two seasons, it's Lindelof, Cuse, and Abrams.

To be fair, one hour is a full series recap.
Also, I do agree with Jackie in the sense that the show has gotten consistently stronger with each season. I think all the actors have really grown together in a lot of ways and become not only stronger and more convincing individually but as a cohesive ensemble as well. It also helped that they have killed off a lot of the weaker actors. As much as I dislike a few of the existing characters, it's because they're convincing in their role and I find the character they're playing unlikeable. Luckily, since last season and the remaining seasons are shorter, there's very little space for the filler episodes which cropped up far to often in earlier seasons. Anyway I have really high hopes for this new season since I'm expecting the increase in quality to continue to the end. I'm a tad concerned that there are too many questions to answer in 34 episodes and that things might get a little cluttered or rushed but I have confidence in the writers and producers as well so it's not a genuine worry. It's just that thinking over the list of things that have to be explained at this point, I get a little dizzy.

And now we know that Desmond is somehow "special" and can exist outside "the rules"... fuck.
Could Hawking be Faraday's mother?
Unless the baby was adopted I dont think it was Charlotte. Pierre Chang and his wife were both asian.
It was good. It was REAL good. Having Faraday be such a pivotal character was an amazing choice. I was all "HOLY FUCK" when they showed him with the original Dharma crew. And now we know that Desmond is somehow "special" and can exist outside "the rules"... fuck. And I seriously LOL'd at the bit near the end where Hurley summed up the entire show so far to his mom in about two minutes. And also I have a pretty good guess about Richard and his seeming agelessness now.
Also nice touch with Neil wearing a red shirt and getting killed, but Sawyer borrowed one of his shirts - which was also red - leading us to fear or suspect that Sawyer is marked for doom... which makes me sad.
Could Hawking be Faraday's mother? He told Desmond to go find his mother so she has to be someone important which probably means we've already encountered her. As we've seen, Hawking knows about weird anomalies and fate and so on and she's British and she was writing equations all over a black board and doing crazy experiments just like Daniel and...well yeah. Maybe that's reading too much into it but it seems possible, no?
Who is the baby in Chang's (i.e. Candle's) house on the island? It has to be important in some way. Could it have been born on the island? My guess is no since babies and their mothers die during the birth. Who knows when this began but it's likely it was a still a problem when the DI was around.
Desmond is only special because he is currently existing in both places at once. He is one of the people that got off the island that they can still talk to on the island. So when Faraday tells him something that is in the past, it will come into memory in their present. It is a really smart idea.
Hawking is definitely Daniel's mom. She has to be!
Could Widmore be his father? The reason I ask: it seems pretty clear that "Ellie," the Other escorting Daniel around the bomb, was Hawking and she and Widmore were around the same age and both Others at that time. It seems possible...
When Charlotte died I was just sad to watch an episode of the show die. On her deathbed she basically divulged an entire episodes worth of flashbacks (and from what I understand what would have definitely been an episode had season 4 not been shortened.)
Overall I honestly think that episode kind of sucked, even if we found out some cool stuff. So far "Jughead" has been a good example of how to do the new Lost right. And this episode was an example of how to do the new Lost terribly wrong.
I have to respectfully disagree with you.. Jughead was a great episode, but last week's ep was probably one of the best non-season finale episode.
No offense or anything since you went about saying that nicely. But if you think that episode was one of the best of the series then you either have really bad taste or your enthusiasm for the mythology of the show outweighs your enthusiasm for good television. Probably both.
Or option three, which is the correct one: opinions are subjective and you are really overstepping your bounds on this. Hell, personally, I found Jughead to be the weakest episodes of the season, so far. That doesn't make my tastes bad or my passion for the show any less, it just means my opinion differs from yours.
I don't see that it cheapens anyone as a character. Your personality isn't defined by how you're born, it is defined by your experiences. Even if Ben changes as a result of his judgment, it's still a life experience and it's still a path he'd been heading down for a while. Whatever happened...happened.
He assured Whidmore he was going to kill Penny. He knew Desmond was in town from meeting him and would easily have been able to presume Penny was there as well as a result. The big thing, though? When he calls Jack, the blood is clearly fresh, probably not all his and he's on a dock. Considering Penny lives on a boat now, it's the logical conclusion. I'm not sure one way or the other whether he succeeded, but my guess is he at least tried to kill Penny and ran afoul of Desmond. My best guess is that he did not succeed and Desmond will follow Ben to the island to make sure he never tries again.
Now that I've had time to think on it, I'm relatively sure the ending was a red herring. It really all depends on whether or not the Dharma Booth Video is considered canon. If it is, then Daniel's presence would indicate he had to survive. If not, well, I just don't know.
Now THAT'S how you do a finale. Wow.
That was worse than the first time I had sexLook, I'm sorry, but to be fair, it was my first time too. And it was years ago, it's time to let it fucking go.
On another forum I go to we've decided to call the other guy/deadlocke Esau. Oh lost and your silly biblical imagery.
Hey, so what the hell's going to happen in '77? Basically the two obvious outcomes - everyone's dead or Oceanic 8whatever never crashed - mean no last season to speak of or such a dramatic change in direction that I just can't see it happening on a big budget primetime TV show.
Yeah, key word on my part was "obvious" - one of the cool aspects of how extreme a cliffhanger it was is that the obvious outcomes can be discounted... Cheers for yr thoughts, looks all very plausible. Will have to see whether the show's writers give a shit about plausibility. ;)Hey, so what the hell's going to happen in '77?

There's more than two potential outcomes.
Un-Locke already knew they were coming, though, so I doubt that's it.Thinking about this some more, how do you/we know un-Locke already knew that? Didn't he & Ben go inside the foot of the statue before the people with Locke's body arrived on the beach? Was there some earlier scene where he showed recognition of who those people were?
Uh.I haven't really been paying attention, but is that actual real canon, or just the strongest theory going?
No, "they" are the 1977 crew.
Ethan was conceived on the island, which was after the statue was destroyed.
