ok, when Miles told Sawyer, "It worked", i assume that was Juliet referring to the "time zone" they are in which is the present and not necessarily to all the this stuff never happening.
wow two hours of filler & GARBAGE. i didn't expect it to continue to match the quality of the first 1 1/2 seasons, but come on. they have no idea what they're doing here & are just wasting time until revealing hopefully some awesome solutions they're sitting on. but in the meantime i'm not waking up for this crap anymore. i'll just wait until it's finished & then catch up. can't blame them for stretchign out what should have been 2 or 3 seasons into 6. we're idiots. i'm hoping for more funny moments. when the show is aware of itself, doesn't take itself too seriously. when sawyer, locke, & hugo are sitting in one of the houses, & hugo says 'sawyer your making a mistake', then locke says "it's his to make hugo", and the camera pans out to show they are playing a board game. it could have been the start to a thousand conversations in lost. i r.o.f.l.'d.
Yeah, I don't think Sayid was ever dead. That's why Miles had that look on his face when Hurley was talking to him. He knew he wasn't dead.
especially now they've been full on time travelling, anything can be explained away by alternate timelines, smoke monsters impersonating anyone, alternate realities, warring god/kings' miracles, etc. it's just gotten way too cheap. it's changed from sci-fi to sci-fantasy to boundless fantasy. my interest peaked with the discovery of the stations, orientation videos, when locke met mr. ecko etc. it still had some rules. what season(s) happened when the writers' strike was going on b.t.w? anyone know? probably its downfall.
I was kind of thinking that Miles was going: "I can't talk to this guy. If he's dead, why can't I talk to him?".
I can't believe anyone came away with that take on the premiere. But to each his own. Whole lot to chew on overnight and on my morning run. Christian "in transit" is definitely a double meaning. Be interesting to see where they ultimately go with LA-X
I thought it was completely badass how the people in the Temple went into such panic when they heard Jacob was dead. The Temple guys have a spring that heals people, concrete walls surrounding them, and heavy artillery, and they inevitably go into full panic mode. It really goes to show how scary FLocke really is.
Also, isn't the smoke monster supposed to be the guardian of the Temple? Maybe when FLocke says he wants to "go home," he means taking back what's rightfully his, his own sanctuary that was stolen from him, the Temple itself.
Okay season premiere. It was actually kind of boring. IDK, maybe I was TOO HYPED for it. The last scene wasn't that shocking IMO.
Crazy theory that some guy posted on another forum regarding Desmond's disappearance: Spoiler "Desmond disappeared because Charlie lived and so he must be with Penny somehow in order to give birth to Charlie in the first place."
because of how crazy they've gotten now with the rules, everything that can be done now & easily explained- nothing can really shock us anymore. remember how great simple things were like the stations & orientation vids, different characters just meeting each other in the real world etc. those days are long gone after time travel, warring gods, miracles, etc. now anything's possible, so nothing can be surprising. it's just cheap now. i'll still watch them all, holding out hope they have somewhere to go (i.e. bringing it all home by tying in what USED to be important, linus vs. whitmore etc. who seem all but irrelevant now), but i won't be making a point to catch the original broadcasts.
When did Hurley mention to the Others that Jacob was dead? I think there's a strong possibility Sayid is Jacob. I think the Others intention was to kill Sayid so Jacob could use his body. The water didn't heal the asian guys hand after he cut it, so maybe this is when he realized Jacob was not alive anymore, and they had to drown Sayid for Jacob to use his body.
Near the end, when the Japanese guy was tending his garden. They asked him if Jacob would be returning to the Temple and Hurley said that he didn't think that was going to happen. They started glaring at him and Hurley said he was dead and was surprised that they didn't know. That's when they scrambled, set off the fireworks, and poured ash around the temple. This was long after they had put Sayid in the pool.
I don't think the New Others knew Jacob was dead for the reasons Cannonball mentioned. But that doesn't mean that Jacob didn't know Sayid was unsavable and would provide a dead body to inhabit.
