Lost

[PinkPrincess113]

This episode was so good! As usual! I'm so glad I found this thread No one else I know watches Lost besides my BF but it's great to have other views!

I wonder what will happen to Sayid! This is all too crazy with them being new recruits..
Why didn't Sun time travel back to 1977 with the rest of them? Was she not supposed to be there? Why was Locke not in 1977!?
I still don't get the black smoke thing and Christian/Jacob?? Must be religious..
I think older Ben may die since we just saw the young ben in this episode.....

CANT WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK

When Christian showed the picture of Jack & Co. in Dharma suits to Sun. It was sooo creepy! In early episodes Ben made a list to bring Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley to the dock. Any connection here? Is that because Ben & Co. were curious as to how Jack & Co in a picture from 1977 would be on the island in 200x?

^ hmm interesting. I thought this was a great episode.
I loved Juliette's reaction when she was holding amy's baby and amy said his name was ethat...creepy. Where is Daniel? why did sawyer say he's not there anymore?

here's some interesting remarks from darkufo. It made no sense to me either..
Now would be a great time for the vehement "nothing that already happened can be changed!" movement to explain why the original Dharma radio transmission is playing on the co-pilot's radio as he attempts his mayday call. Especially since Rousseau had changed the message in the mid-80's and had actually turned the message off about two seasons ago. Following the one time string theory, hearing that message in 2007 would be an impossibility.

and some theories about Sun..
For the past few weeks, I've really tried to rationalize why Sun would've been separated from the other group of characters. Maybe it's because she didn't fully recreate her circumstances on the initial Oceanic flight. Sun was with Jin then, and although she was holding his ring on the plane Sun still boarded Ajira alone (Sun even states this episode to Ilana "I was traveling alone"). Or maybe Sun wasn't sitting in one of the magical seat numbers, and the other 5 were? I've also theorized the island considered Sun 'tainted' by all her contact with Widmore, leaving her behind in 2007 for that reason.

has someone else noticed this on the cabin scene with Sun?? Spooky!!
(I think it's Claire..)

last remark from darkufo..really interesting!
Uh Oh!
It certainly looks as if things *have* changed. From the moment Sun and Frank walk past the rusted lamps on the rundown Dharma dock to minute they arrive at the overly ramshackle barracks... something's way, way off. This isn't the way the Others left the barracks not-so-long ago, and it's definitely not the result of a few short years of neglect. Big trees grow way too close to the buildings, and everything looks extremely beat up. As Christian takes them inside the recruitment center, we see printed signs hanging at odd angles and the dust-covered photographs and recruitment materials used by the Dharma Initiative. We saw this place 10 minutes ago in 1977, and now we see it 30 years later... only it can't look this way because after the purge we know the Others lived here for a good decade or more. And when they did live here they kept **** neat and tidy - they kept the bushes groomed, the grass watered, and Ethan was pretty handy with a hammer and nails. It's not possible that the Others would live here without de-Dharmatizing the barracks, especially considering It would get a little creepy living somewhere surrounded by photos of people you mass murdered with poison gas. So what does it all mean?

It means of course, that something's changed. Someone has changed something in the past to create the timeline Sun and Frank are now seeing. This jives well with the original transmission still coming from the radio tower, and on a more extensive level it explains the subtle changes in scenery, decor, and circumstance that we've seen throughout the whole show. Faraday's theory appears to be wrong: things can be changed. The bigger question is this: were they changed for the better?

Was the purge avoided? If so, what happened to Dharma? What happened to the Others? Is the whole island dead? Is the whole world dead? Was the war Widmore predicted already waged? If so, did the right side win? And if something really terrible did come to pass, how can Sun, Frank, Ben and Locke fix it? Or is it up to the 815 crew to make those changes from their position in the past? BIG questions.

It was very strange to me that the baby was "Ethan". Since season 1 I never perceived Ethan Rom to be as young as this episode would have indicated (Born 1977, the first time we saw him was season 1 when it was the year 2004.. he certainly didn't look 27 at the time). I had always assumed that Ethan was as old, if not older than Ben. I don't know if anyone else would agree with me. And here in this episode Ethan is just a newborn and Ben is at least 13-15. I don't know if it's just some sort of continuity error or it's actually Ethan after all.

During the entire episode it took me forever to place Radzinsky's character because he was so familiar. I had to end up checking Lostpedia, but I relearned he was in the Hatch with Kelvin and committed suicide at some point in time.

Christian is so intriguing. I can't wait for the moment everybody realizes he's Jack's dead father. I can't still figure him out. Maybe he is alive, just the same way John Locke came back to life after the second plane crash.

What I want to know is why Christian said "you've got a long way to go" or something like that to Sun when she asked to find Jin. Does that mean that they are still alive, or maybe they are still whirling through time?

Confused so much!

 

[melfreya]

I think he meant it quite literally..that she has to travel 30 years back in time to find him..a long way to go indeed!

 

[yellowetpink]

^ bleh that would make it so more confusing!

I still wonder what happened to Claire?

 

[mordant]

I just read rumors/spoilers for the season finale.

O...M...G...Lost writers.

 

[melfreya]

I really don't want to know this but...where???

 

[mordant]

hahaha, here you go. Read at your own risk.

[melfreya]

^^^ holy s*&%!!!!!!

 

[mordant]

This season just keeps getting better.

I kinda saw the whole Sayid/Ben thing coming when Sayid kept talking about destiny and with the way he looked at Ben, plus my bf kept yelling "Sayid's gonna kill Ben, Sayid's gonna kill Ben"

OMG, I can't wait for next week.

 

[December_25th]

So what happens now?

Sayid kills Little Ben... which obviously wasn't supposed to happen because we've seen Ben grow up to an adult. But if this is the case and Ben really is dead.. what the heck happens now? Who will go carry out the Purge of the Dharma Initiative? Will it even happen anymore? What happens to adult Ben? + million other questions I won't even bother thinking about

I thought Faraday said a few weeks back that "whatever happened, happened". So.. did he mean that the past can't change because it already happened? Because it looks like Sayid did a hell of a job demonstrating otherwise haha

And I looked at the spoiler at lostrumors and wtf! It doesn't make sense. But I'm relieved that it wasn't something else because it honestly wasn't a huge huge spoiler. I ended up reading about the flash forward episode spoiler for last season's finale and I kicked myself for MONTHS after because Lost is usually the one show I won't read spoilers for. When I read it at the time I didn't think it would come true... but it did. SCENE FOR SCENE.

For some reason, episodes that center around Sayid just don't interest me. I don't know why. *shrug*
Is next week a Kate episode?

 

[metrochic]

I wish Faraday would come back to the show and then maybe he could explain some of this stuff. I don't think little Ben died...i think he somehow survives b/c whatever happened in the future happened and he can't just disappear??? We know he's on the island somewhere, so what, does he just go poof and gone?
I didn't like when Sayid hit Jin...not nice!

 

[LoveLetter]

I don't think little Ben is dead. Him being shot (when little) might lead him to be the man he will become.

 

[Razzz.]

^^^Sayid episodes don't really interest me either!

I don't think little Ben is dead. Him being shot (when little) might lead him to be the man he will become.

I read that Kate tries her best to save him, also I saw an image somewhere of him lying in what looks like a hospital bed in next weeks episode, so I'm guessing that he won't die.

 

[metrochic]

I thought the scene with Sayid tied to the tree after he was given the truth serum was awesome, esp. when he called out Sawyer's name.

 

[incogneato]

^I loved that too, especially when he started laughing
