Not gonna lie....all I saw was a giant snow penis...

and vaguely...I tried to figure out how this snow penis is connected to the island.

I had not realized that the foot only had four toes until seeing the snow foot.

Really? Do you even watch the show?
 
Well something new is up with Claire... although she looked sinister in Jacob's cabin. We also got to see Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
 
yea, we knew Jacob's cabin had the ash circle broken so smokey could get in there (i think that was revealed before seeing her in there?)
 
My theory (maybe it was mentioned by someone else in this thread) is that all of the events on the show will lead up to the current flashes. In other words the show will end with the "new" flight which doesn't crash. It's just a guess really, I can't wait to see what really happens.

Oh man, if only they threw Charlie in there instead of the black guy. This was actually the first Lost episode i remember laughing at. Miles with the food court line was perfect!

Oh snap! I knew he looked familiar, but I just couldn't place it.

Why would I be paying that much attention to the foots toes? There is much more important subtle things that deserve my attention.

As for the episode it was pretty uneventful. I hadn't even realized that an hour had passed by the time the show ended.
 
Does anybody have an explanation as to why Kate cried after talking to Sawyer on the Dharma pier. Was it because she realized she couldn't be with sawyer or something else?

Sayid mentioned that it had only four toes the first time the foot was ever shown. Start by trying to pay attention to the main things, then we'll worry about the "more important subtle things" later.

When was this? I have obviously missed something. Also I wouldn't call one thing Sayid said a 'main thing'.

Season 2, I believe. Sayid and company sail around the island and see the statue.
 
Photo it gives the date of Claire in the hospital as 10-22-04. Didnt the plane take off in Sept?

I was going back last month and rewatching some of the season 1 I saw this.

Claire is seen waking up. With a confused and concerned expression on her face she looks down and feels her stomach, and notices that she is not pregnant. A baby's cry is heard and Claire starts off into the jungle in a daze, apparently looking for the source of the crying. Claire sees a light in the forest and walks toward it. She encounters Locke sitting at the table at which she received her psychic reading (in her flashback later in this episode); the psychic's electric lamp is also present. As she approaches, Locke draws what appear to be the psychic's cards from a deck one by one as he stares down at the table (the first one making the sound of a metal against metal, like a knife being unsheathed); they exchange a few brief words:
CLAIRE: What's happening?
LOCKE: You know what's happening.
CLAIRE: But I don't understand. Why --?
LOCKE: He was your responsibility but you gave him away, Claire. Everyone pays the price now.
As Locke finishes saying this, he looks up at her with a creepy expression on his face and has one black eye and one white eye. Claire then hears a baby's cry and runs into the jungle. She finds a crib (with a plane mobile identical to the one later found in the Nursery). Claire pulls the blankets back, finding a thick dark pool of blood and begins screaming hysterically; just then she wakes up.

I have a feeling this was Unlocke speaking to Claire in the dream. Forshadowing her giving the baby to Kate. Kate leading UnClaire to Aaron is going to be the thing that leads Unlocke home.

Doyle should have used his powers to get some 3-way action with those hotties in the back seat of that cab.
 
[quote name='Magehart']Worst episode in a long time. I feel like I wasted my life.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I agree as I did not feel like anything really important happened, although I guess Claire appears to be the new Rousseau.

Also, I am not really liking the 'alternate reality' they keep going to, but it seems like it will mean a lot as they keep building it, so whatever.
 
[quote name='BackInBlack']wow, i could have just watched the last ten minutes of that shit if i had known.[/QUOTE]
Yes. If only Desmond would flash back to 2005 and tell the producers to forget about Kate episodes. Do it, brother. Nothing's irreversible.
 
For those who watched the original Degrassi Junior High/High way back in the day. BLT from that show is the black guy Justin on Lost.

Well that explains it. I didn't start watching regularly until season 3 or 4(when my wife finally got me on board). That would explain why I wouldn't have known about it previously.

Some people are speculating that the date on the sonogram is her estimated due date.

That would make perfect sense. IIRC Ethan said the baby was 36 weeks along, another 4 weeks for normal 9 month term would put it around that date.
 
Meh, they're squandering the time they have left. Three hours so far and all we know is Fake Locke is the Smoke Monster and there's an alternate reality that is really starting to look like that is the actual A plot. This just seems like season 4 and 5 all over again. Introducing yet another group of weirdos on the island we've never seen (yeah, they are Others, but that's no excuse). They've got to get back on track, recapture season 1's level of suspense. Even the "cliffhanger" endings just don't wow me anymore, not like when Michael went all Taxi Driver down in the Swan. Wow...Claire is standing on the hill acting like Rousseau 2.0...yawn. Unless there really was an infection, that the old Dharma hazmat suits and Rousseau's people getting sick was the same thing Sayid supposedly has?
 
A Lost about Kate is like a Simpson's about Lisa.

Yeah, its kinda frustrating that they are still introducing entire groups of people during the last season.

Finally watched this episode last night, and I agree.

It was a dull episode, and things are going way to slow for the final season.

Someone earlier said they were worried about it ending up like Star Wars Episode 3, where things are drawn out too long and the conclusion comes to abruptly.

Maybe they'll prove us wrong, but I just don't see the importance of the alternate timeline story getting so much time, when they could be using all that to deal with the main story on the island--especially if they were going to introduce new characters again.

Couldn't agree more. There's so much on the island that has been willfully ignored or left to "the viewer's interpretation." I realize that the producers want this to be character driven, but they're leaving us high and dry on a lot of compelling events and ideas.

It seems like the parallel timeline is a way to show us that the outcome for each character is the same regardless of path. Which is to say that the bomb only "worked" to prove Faraday's original point (no re-writing history) in a very roundabout fashion. If this holds up, then there's two major events to come this season: 1) the battle of Jacob and Ol' Smokey Locke on the island and 2) collapsing the alternate/parallel timeline and our "real" timeline back on top of one another. Is that a fair hypothesis?

I would like to see us focus on #1. Smokey's been around for a long time, and I wish the writers were more interested in that backstory.

Yeah, that was me too. I think a good comparison would be Rome. Where they found out it got cancelled and just took the planned season 3 plotline and tacked the most important portions of it on at the end of a truncated season 2. A span of years went by in a flash. Augustus was one actor one episode, and a different actor the next. It felt odd as a viewer, and I'd say that's the ONLY stain on an otherwise stellar show.

But at least Rome had an excuse (cancellation). Star Wars had no excuse. And I'd love to throw a handful of dog shit in the faces of whichever HBO guys pulled the plug on Deadwood (Milch, the creator, was somewhat to blame as well). That show was pure gold and didn't even get an appropriate ending, and the two 2 hour movies to finish the story (a la Firefly and Serenity) were never made and never will be.
 
I was unimpressed again. That may be because I haven't found the alt reality/flashsideways that interesting. It builds up to unLocke telling Sawyer they were "candidates"...I thought we pretty much knew that from the begining of "the Incident".

I thought the same thing. The "answer" we got tonight was kind of known for a while if you thought about it. I'm getting so sick of no questions being answered. I can't wait for this shitbomb to be over forever.
 
They really need to establish some sort of relevancy for these flashbacks to the alternate reality ASAP, as they're the worst part of this season. I'd like to know what the point is to make them anything but more flashbacks that I've been tired of since S3. At least the other half of the show is starting to pay off, if just a little.

Why watch then? I've given up plenty of series over the years. If I dont enjoy something I'm not going to put it on my tv.

I really liked this episode and though there werent any concrete answers (need to watch it again), they tightened up the story and moved it forward a lot.

Because I invested so much time in this show I can't stop when its almost over. I might as well finish it.
 
interesting. not Kate on the wall, only one Kwon on the wall. they're giving us a little, very very little.

right now the parallel time line is getting a little frustrating. I get it, the characters are tied together. sooner or later it needs to be relevant to what's going on the island.
 
Just when I thought this show couldn't get any more heavy handed in its symbolism, we now have "Jacob's Ladder."

I think I'm going to go shoot myself to dull the pain.
 
Damn, so much negativity. If all you wanted was answers you all really should have just waited for the box set of season 6 to come out.

The sideways story has to have everyone meet in an organic way, its not like everyone could just meet up in 20 minutes after landing and getting off the plane.

We learned the smokey wants off the island. That was my hunch but now we know from the source that's what his end game is.

We learned Richard is scared as shit of smokey. Jacob may be reborn as one of the "special" people (maybe he's already done that as Siead). And maybe he's been reborn as a spirit of a child.

They also laid out the 3 things the lost characters will do this season. Sit on their hands and do nothing, Help Jacob, or Get off the island / help smokey.

Also we learned "Kwon" is special. That could be Sun, Jin or their daughter Ji Yeon. And "Sheppard" is special, that could be Jack, Clair, Aaron, or maybe even Jack's Dad.

EDIT: Crap Kate married Jack right? If so I guess that would make her a Sheppard too. Seeing as how Sun is a Kwon due to marriage.
 
[quote name='DarkNessBear']Damn, liked this episode made a lot of things click. And Kate was probably on the wall, just crossed out somewhere.[/QUOTE]

I think you are only crossed out if you are dead. At least that's what it seemed like when Locke crossed off his own name.
