Lost

[HRose]

I thought it kinda sucked for an episode.

The suck is that it is really coming with a poor resolution.

It’s pretty evident that the duality of Jack/Locke throughout the show will mimic the conclusion. Locke is the smoke monster and Jack will be the new Jacob. Both living happily together for eternity.

Locke the believer who becomes the one who wants to get away, and Jack the unbeliever, who now embraces the belief and is the only one convinced he’s there for a reason.

Just to add to this, next episode is Jack and Locke POV together. The one after that is Jacob/smoke monster POV.

I used to, but they had some other show on last night, and I can’t wait until they put Lost back on the air, because whatever show they had on last night sucked balls.

I would watch a TV show that sucked my balls. You bet.

[Jackstar]

That was the problem. My balls were not involved, and I must scream.

I miss the days when the show included a boy and his dog.

Perhaps if you call his name loudly, he will return.

I’m pretty sure the dialogue made mention of having line of sight on the target.

I’m pretty sure you’re wrong. When Zoe radios back to base to “demonstrate” their capabilities, she asks “Do you have a fix on my position?” And her position was, uh, in the middle of the jungle. No line of sight on that first mortar or whatever it was.

Yea but the second mortar attack at the end of the episode when Zoe has Sawyer and Co. at gunpoint she mentions line of sight I think.

Now you’re worried about technicalities of things like lasers?

Aside from the day/night thing we’ve seen this episode a few times.
We could have cut out alot of fluff if the last time Widmore was on the island he would have explained to the losties what he was trying to do, offered them safe passage off the island and let the mercenaries do their job without interference from a confused group of survivors.
Instead our heroes got in the way and here we are again.

Yep, this is what I’m referring to.

I don’t remember that, but the first mortar clearly demonstrated they didn’t need line of sight.

[Jazar]

Maybe because the Tina Fey clone was transmitting her location for the first mortar attack.

[Tracy_Baker]

I don’t remember that, but the first mortar clearly demonstrated they didn’t need line of sight.

There could have been a tracking device in the handheld radio for the first shot. The radio was smashed, so they needed LOS for the next shot.

[Rasputin]

Megatron does not require line of sight.

Awesome. They should have gotten him to write for the show.

[MrCoffee]

I just love it when they kill some many extras.

[Hunty]

One of the shabby crew with Locke looked exactly like Jack Sparrow. I was giggling every time I saw him. I assume he copped a mortar in the face, sadly.

My girlfriend and I thought this episode was kind of dull by the high standards of the last few, but that it was one of those necessary sort of ones that put a lot of pieces in place for the big finale. I didn’t begrudge it too much.

I would watch a TV show that sucked my balls. You bet.

I watched it for years when I was a kid and it did nothing of the sort to me, despite scurrilous and unfounded rumours about Matthew Kelly later.

[HRose]

There’s one aspect completely ignored that is infuriating.

Everyone who watches the show has a simple question: what happens if the smoke monster leaves the island?

Instead it’s 10 episodes that the characters discuss how or whether to leave the island with Locke or Widmore or whatever. Yet NO ONE actually even wonders what happens if Locke leaves.

They know that if they leave they go back to normal life. But they don’t even wonder even for a second what the fuck Locke has to do outside and whether or not this may lead to a problem.

None of them give a tin shit in a wooden bucket. Hurley and Jack both seem to be a little concerned, and they’re trying to figure out what the right thing to do would be. Sun only came back to Cork Island because she was looking for her husband, whom she found. Sawyer doesn’t care about anybody at this point. Kate’s always been a self-centered bitch. Claire, in addition to being crazier than a shithouse rat, just wants to find the dingo that ate her baby or whatever. Richard doesn’t know what the guy plans to do, but the idea he’s gotten from Jacob is that it’s probably not so great. Ilana was trying to keep him on the Cork until she blew up. Desmond’s got some kind of a plan, but we don’t know what it is.

The only people who are seriously obsessed with getting off are Kate and Sawyer. Everybody else is just following them around, because that’s all anybody who’s got less than 30% of the lines in an episode ever does.

You apparently missed a few very important scenes.

[MatthewF]

Yeah, like stuff about the entire world as we know it ending, or that small bit about pure evil unleashed unto the world. Just a couple minor bits.
