Lost Season 5 - Spoilers EVERYWHERE! :p

[Paro]

Best episode this season and I've loved all episodes this season so far.Season finale is going to blow our brains. With one more season left after this one has to wonder what will happen either way, fail or succeed, what's going to happen?And what's in the shadow of the statue?! What's with the egyptian hieroglyphs, where does the energy come from, what is the island really!?

God, I love this show, the temporal gymnastics, and all it's character's fracked up parental issues.

[Psychotic]

God damn. That was good television. Everything Eloise did with Daniel throughout his life, you realise why. To try to change by pushing him as hard as possible to be the best he can be. But she also knows it could backfire and she could be the one pushing him to his doom at her hands. Thus "For the first time, I don't know what is going to happen" to Penny. Daniel's Variable theory and all that. Which is weird as she seemed like such a huge believer in "whatever happened, happened", that phrase they all keep throwing around.

I love the episodes leading up to Lost finales. You can see the slow and unstoppable descent into insanity gradually building up and it's fantastic.

EDIT: Holy I just realised Faraday is the guy from Saving Private Ryan. Man, I knew I'd seen him somewhere before.

[The Man]

Great episode, possibly even better than the Ben-centric one a few weeks ago. (SPOILER)man, Faraday had a bleak existence though, didn't he? Methinks his final thoughts would've been about how his bright ideas about changing everything resulted in nothing being changed, and how his own mother raised him so austerely knowing that she'd end up inadvertently killing him as a direct result of him traveling back to the past. I kind of think he almost had to do go back there for the sake of not smurfing up everything massively though, since if he didn't go back to 1953 then the H-bomb would probably explode, killing everyone and creating a time paradox.

though it's possible Eloise was just hoping that if she raised him well enough he'd be able to change , but who knows really. Maybe we'll find out more in future episodes.

Anyway yeah, definitely one of the best this season so far.

[Del Murder]

So what was Daniel doing on the mainland for 3 years?

Lost sure loves to kill off the newer characters.

[Psychotic]

So what was Daniel doing on the mainland for 3 years?

Hiding from Charlotte. He shouldn't have talked to her, really, because until he did, he was invulnerable.

Lost sure loves to kill off the newer characters.

Look out, Miles! I'm pretty sure they added the tail section folks just to kill them. Looking back on it, they had absolutely no bearing on anything whatsoever.

[Flying Mullet]

The producers and writers said they strayed from the original story idea in season two. I wonder if the tail section was purely a ratings grab that backfired. The only way the tail would tie in is if Rose and Bernard are Adam and Eve or Bernard has some impact on the story still.

[The Man]

I'm still convinced Rose and Bernard are going to end up being Adam and Eve. I also think they originally planned to do more with Libby's character until her actor got a DUI, but I also think we may still end up seeing her again through Hurley at some point. Though I think I remember someone saying Darlton claimed we wouldn't, but I don't remember if they had a source on that.

[Flying Mullet]

I thought I read somewhere a year or two ago that we would see more of Libby, but we haven't, if I'm remembering correctly.

And yes, a DUI is a character write-off on <i>Lost</i>.

[McLovin']

They said Libby's story was done and there was no need to show more of her.

Carlton: Uhh, you know, again, these are not questions that we are going to answer. I think the point we were trying to make with the Libby story is that everything is graded in terms of importance for us, and, as we are doing the last season of the show, it's not going to be sort of a didactic, you know, here's a list of a thousand questions that we're going to answer. That would not make for a very entertaining show. We are focusing on what we consider to be the significant questions, and mysteries, and character relationships. That's the story that we're gonna tell. I think that the reference to Libby was more illustrative of the fact that I think, we accept the fact that in the end of the day there will, probably, you could ask a spectrum of a thousand different fans “Well what question did you not get answered?” and there might be a thousand different answers, but we are focusing on what we consider to be the main questions of the show and the main narritive. It's i! mpossible to tie up every loose end, and we don't really consider, honestly, Libby's story is incredibly tangential to the principle action on the show. For us, the focus of the final season really has to be on the main characters and what would generally be acknowledged as the most significant mysteries.

[Psychotic]

Desmond's actor is in a spot of legal bother after apparently groping and motorboating a female crew member on the Lost set. So Desmond is probably going to get shot or catapulted into the sun or something now.

[Moon Rabbits]

MOST UPSETTING EPISODE EVER.

Really. Daniel added so much to the show. I wanted his character to stay alive, but I'm really impressed with how the writers played him out.

Juliet + Sawyer = captured by Dharma. I can't wait to see how that plays out.

Also: I think the producers are lying about Libby's story being finished. She worked for Widmore, toooooootally. Speaking of the Tailies - Bernard isn't the only surviving one. Cindy is alive and living with the Others.

[Flying Mullet]

I think we were supposed to forget about Cindy. Not that she'll come back for a surprise, but that she was a bit character who's gone from the show.

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

Great episode! Cant stand Jack though!

[Psychotic]

I actually watched the Taillies episode the other day and wondered about the possible return of Cindy. But I think I agree with Mullet. Even among the Taillies she was a pretty minor character, and the likes of Nathan and Goodwin got more screen time.

[The Man]

So, according to Wikipedia, the central character for this week's episode is (SPOILER)Richard Alpert.

SMURF. YES.
