Couple of quick questions…
-
Is the recap show before the premier an adequate memory refresher? I’m a bit blurry on some of the time travel/Jacob/Ben stuff.
-
How many episodes will there be in this season?
Or they could put 'em all together, and create some sort of weird “combination” Locke.
That’s John Hawkes. You probably know him, as I do, as Sol Star on Deadwood.
Just because we didn’t see them, doesn’t mean they weren’t on the plane. We didn’t get our first glimpse of Claire until Kate hijacked her taxi.
Ooh! Wait–what if the cab driver really IS the creepy puppet-master guy from Heroes? What if, by not crashing the plane, the characters flew into the world of Heroes?!
We’ll have evil Easu-Locke vs Evil-Syler. Creepy manipulative Momma Petrelli going toe-to-toe with creepy, manipulative Ben. And Officer Matt Parkman meets Pilot Seth Norris!! :eek:
Remind me about the one-armed skeleton. Do we know who this character was and did we see his demise last season?
That’s right! The glasses fooled me.
He appeared in the Buffy episode “I Only Have Eyes for You” as a janitor (possessed by a ghost). So I knew he looked familiar on Deadwood…
Wasn’t he one of the crazy French chick’s team?
Wow, a whole new gigantic mystery introduced (the Temple) in the season when they’re supposed to be wrapping things up…
I haven’t read the entire thread, but did anyone notice that the Island Flight Attendant (Cindy?) said she recognized Jack as having been on the first Oceanic flight? Seems like a clue to what’s going on in the two timelines.
Well, the writers and producers have an excellent chance to prove they planned the entire plot from the start… if scenes with Waaaaaaalt as a child show up, they had to be filmed years ago…
The temple was entirely new?
I don’t think she said the first Oceanic flight, but just the first flight (or first plane that crashed, or something). The second one being the Ajira flight.
I think it’s been both of them. If you notice that Christian Shepard appears in two different outfits, and sort of behaves differently based on that. One is Jacob the other is Esau.

For the moment, but The Amazing Fenris predicts:
[ul]
[li]Jack sees/tries to fix Locke…can’t (and maybe Locke dies on the table–probably not though). Jack becomes pathetic-hairy Jack of S5.[/li][li]Sawyer cons Hurley…Sawyer has the “cursed” money which screws him up and Hurley remains cursed by The Numbers anyway.[/li][/quote]
Hurley says he’s the luckiest guy in the world. I don’t think he believe he’s cursed in the ATL (alternate timeline). Since the TL has changed in 1977 there’s a slight divergence that will manifest itself as we go through the ATL’s narrative.
Next episode is called “What Kate Didn’t Do.” That doesn’t bode well for ATL Kate.
As soon as I saw the slew of new characters ( others[sup]3[/sup]?), I kinda lost interest. If they couldn’t wrap this up with the bazillion characters we already have in this mess, how are a bunch more going to help?
I was a little disturbed that we had to watch Sawyer screaming and Juliet falling down the hole at least four times in a 10 minute time span. Once at the end of the recap episode, once during the “previously on Lost” recap, once during the teaser, and then once more after the first commercial break. It was almost a relief when Juliet finally got to die a little while later. Poor woman.
I was confused from the very beginning when the dying Juliet wasn’t at the bottom of the deep shaft next to the bomb but rather a few feet into a horizontal tunnel with no bomb. I thought I was seeing an alternate reality of some kind right there. Maybe so?
If not the Temple, the Japanese guy and his followers. I guess the Temple was introduced earlier, but it wasn’t actively used like we saw last night, was it?
This confused me also. Although - I guess she stayed in the same basic vertical location but got pulled into the present day with everyone else, and today the bomb site is actually the hatch site, so she was at the bottom of the hatch crater…or something. Hell, I don’t know.
Since we know that when Esau possesses people, their bodies remain (Locke, Yemmi, and they made it a point to show one armed Frenchy dead where he fell in, but he came back “infected” with the rest of the team), here is a possible theory: Jacob can possess also, and he uses the actual body: Jacob is Christian, whose body was missing after the crash, and Jacob is now Sayid. The reason Jacob’s list says that if Sayid dies they’re in trouble is that if Sayid dies, Jacob to come back in Sayid, and they’re in trouble with Jacob for having done something wrong. Maybe Jacob and the Temple Others needed Sayid to die, in the pool, for Jacob to be able to use him permanently, unlike Christian, who is like a temporary host only or something.
