Episode 6x14 / Re: MIB's real name is

« on: May 14, 2010, 10:39:47 AM »

FWIW- I read the article and I agree with what they say. They have no choice but to tell the story the way they want to and be happy with what they present to the viewer. There is no way they could make everyone happy with any ending to this story.

I have been saying for years with the show, enjoy the ride because the trick is always better then the reveal.

At first I was kind of on the fence on this episode, but when I look at the list of chat subjects on this board and the passion they are being argued, I have decided the episode did exactly what the writers wanted.

Remember when Locke blew up the other sub? The one Jack and Juliet were going to use to go home (season 3 I think).

After Locke blew up that sub he was on the doc wet and we never understood why. In fact I looked on lostpedia and here is one of the unanswered questions form the episode.

--Why was Locke wet after returning from placing the C-4 aboard the submarine?

Now I have not idea how this relates to what happened with this sub -- but it has to relate somehow? No?

Maybe MIB "leaves" by killing all the candidates?

I actually like Sun, she sems like a wild card to me. You never really know what to expect from her, so I'm hoping that we find out that her and Jin were both selected by Jacob, and for whatever reason neither can die (until the island is done with them).

Yeah, that scene where she went off on Richard in Korean was probably some of the best acting we've seen in the whole show. I mean the rage was so intense I was almost getting uncomfortable. "This lady is freaking out".

Also, to the point of her suddenly speaking english again, perhaps her memory came back because...wait for it...Jin is her constant. eh?

Why would she need a constant??

Well, not that I think it is true or anything but - She could need a constant because since Locke chased her and she hit her head she is going back and forth between Alt reality and this one. Hence her reaction when she saw Locke in Alt reality. - I mean I don't think she speaks English in the alt reality.

I always read what you guys have to say about the show, but this is my first time posting here.

What if the ALT is what their lives would have been like had Jacob never "touched" them? The ALT sideflashes only started to happen after Jacob's death (right?)... So maybe without Jacob's intervention, our losties' lives would have been different (with some similarities, but not identical). Realizing that somehow (?), Desmond is now playing the new Jacob. Not that he'll replace Jacob in the end (I also want Jack to do it! Haha), but since he asked for the manifest, it seems he's the one with the candidates list now. I'm not sure what he's trying to do helping everyone remember the island. What does he expect to happen once they all remember it? The universe will implode and things will magically be like they were in the original timeline? Sounds lame. But maybe he's gathering everyone so they can go back to the island and this time Jack will have to do the right thing. But how could they possibly hope to find the island again? And what is Desmond going to have to sacrifice? Penny and/or his son? Himself? And why?

Since nothing makes sense when it comes to Lost (or does it?), I'm gonna go with the idea that Vincent is the key to all those island mysteries. I want the dog back on the show!

Welcome Bud. We try to be a quality bunch here. With exception of myself of course. I'm a rick with a capital "P". Anyway I really liked this idea for a while, but then remembered that Jacob touched Hurley AFTER he had already been to the island. Unless there was a touch we haven't yet seen of course.

Also remember Sun and Jin are not even married and when we saw Jacob touch them it was at their wedding.  I was thinking it was a change without Jacob touching them till that episode.

Well he talked to Richards wife (can't remember her name) and she never even visited the island -- at least that we know of.

Episode 6x09 / Re: Why does Locke want the plane...

« on: April 01, 2010, 06:23:40 PM »

Yeah, either he wants them all in one place so he can kill them.  Doubtful, in my book.  Why wait and just kill the ones he's already got?  Or, they need to be together for the plane trip to work (like the way they needed a special passenger list for the trip to the Island to work properly).

His need for all of them made me go back to thinking that "the sum" of them was equal to one "Jacob".  As in 4+8+15+16+23+42=108.  So, maybe Jacob's last name is "Wallace" (aka, #108)?

They developed the whole story line about the cave and lighthouse to show the numbers corresponding to the candidates, so it would be hard to imagine that #108 is meaningless, but I don't think the six adding up to 108 means all six are needed or that 108 is Jacob because it's been clear that there are six candidates LEFT, but all the others were considered at one point.  Also, why would Jacob have his own name on a list to replace himself?  Unless, of course, he was once a candidate to replace someone before him, but I don't think they have time to go that direction (if they had stretched this out a few more seasons, maybe).  My guess is that Wallace is someone else, maybe the guy whose body MIB inhabited before Locke.  On the other hand, TPTB have said that they used some names on the wall and in the lighthouse as a nod to friends and family and crew on the show, so maybe Wallace is just someone special to the producers and they put that name in the #108 spot as a special nod.

One thing that struck me when going over the names and the fact that smokey/locke said they all have to leave together. Remember the push last season how they all had to "go back" together.

At the time we did not know it, but we know that whole situation was a complex plan by smokey to get Locke's body back to convince Ben to kill Jacob. To kill Jocob it seems only Lockes body and Ben where really necessary.

So why did that all had to go back? and why was Jocob helping to make that happen? It seems there was more to it then just the plan to kill jacob.

Episode 6x09 / Re: So how does MIB become Smokey?

« on: March 31, 2010, 01:05:03 PM »

So Smokey can't cross water, can't cross the "ash line," and can't cross the pylon-energy-field-thingy.  He's starting to sound pretty easy to corral.  What is it about those things that he can't deal with?  The ash and the pylons could have something to do with magnetic energy.  What about the water?

I remember a few season back when the speculation was Smokey had to be connected to the ground - thus could not make it over the electric fence. Now that we know Smokey is also visions of other people I am not sure if that still makes sense. I mean why can "locke" go over on the boat but not smokey?
