Lost Season 6

[megoscott]

HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!!

That was the most intense episode ever. Sayid! Oof, ok, Smokie/Man in Black may have a point, but he is a murderous *******.

[bizzaro megomauler]

Jack and Hurley had better watch their bee-hinds. Aaron was not supposed to be raised by another or "an OTHER" which is why more than likely he will be the one to fill Jacob's uhhh sandals? and where was Sawyer???

[megoscott]

Where's Sawyer, where's Jin?

[bizzaro megomauler]

Where's Sawyer, where's Jin?

Jin I can understand not being at the temple yet, but Sawyer was with "Locke"

[bizzaro megomauler]

There must be some connection between the two realities. They made a point about jack's scar that he had sewn up on the island and he couldn't remember "getting his appendix out".
Rich

Bingo, finally someone else realized, their conciences are in two places, and their "soul" occasionally drifts between them.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!!

You got that right! You know I've been afraid of Claire since her return...But I've gotta say that Badass Sayid TERRIFIED me! I hope that there is some redemption for some of these characters who are apparently going over to the darkside....Otherwise it's gonna be a freakin' massacre at the end methinks.

Who's left on the "good guys"? Jack, Hurley, Miles, Ilana, Frank, Sun and.....gulp, Ben?! Wouldn't it be ironic if Ben turns out to be a big hero in all of this?

The deck seems stacked against our heroes...after all, MIB/Locke has a pretty powerful bad side in ol' Smokey. The good guys, apparently, don't have anything to counter that except for creepy mysterioso Jacob who hasn't been exactly forthcoming in details about what the heck is going on....

12 episodes left but I'm already fearing the worst....

Jin's still crapping his pants after dealing with psycho Claire last week

Where's Sawyer

Busy shooting another ep

[megoscott]

Ok, it's been awhile. How awesome was last night's Richard Alpert episode? I wanted a lot more from it, but it was still pretty great. The shot of the statue in the storm was very cool.

Odd Mego sighting: Listening to Jorge Garcia's podcast, he randomly mentions 2XL...lol. Geronimo Jack's Beard

I thought it was pretty good. But less for the story of Richard and more that it finally ties together so much of what we've seen - the fact that the Others insist that everyone must choose of their own free will and an explanation of what exactly the island is and Jacob and MIB's (and Richard's) roles on it. Finally, we have more an idea of *** is going on. I hope we get to find out how Jacob and MIB got to the island and became who they were as well.

One thing that confuses me is that MIB seems to so far be a responsible leader, despite the fact that he's manipulative and been shown to outright lie to get what he wants. I'm curious as to why he outright kills so many yet lets others live.

And Jacob was a lot more hands on back in the day with the self-defense. He seems to have mellowed out now. Plus his relationships and dialogs with Hurley and Elana seem to show that he isn't just a freewill will win out without his direct influence kind of guy, though that's his philosphy.

Now that we're seeing so much more of Jacob and MIB, their figures are starting to appeal to me more.

Oh, and the name of the guy who owned the Black Rock - Magnus Hanso - turns out to be the Great Grandfather of Alvar Hanso, one of the founders of the Dharma Initiative. Hm.

[megoscott]

Smokie seems to spare people who have some use. He scanned Richard to find what he can use to manipulate him--Isabella--who he then impersonated. Same with Locke when he first scanned him and then Eko who was scanned, then manipulated, then finally killed when he wouldn't cooperate.

Yeah, Magnus Hanso was mentioned when Widmore bought the ship's log of the Black Rock in that auction awhile back.

[megoscott]

It's interesting--someone was mentioning that maybe the reason the monster killed the pilot in Season 1 was that he wasn't Lapides, who was supposed to be the pilot but slept in.

In other news, I'm astonished that the board censoring software feels the need to star out W_T_F.

I agree, it doesn't seem to make much sense. I am sure he could fine something to try to manipulate in almost anyone.

Why does Jacob allow the smoke monster to kill people at will (except for candidates)?

If only people that Jacob brings to the island can come to the island, then did he invite the Darma initiative?

I had thought for a while that the island was the gate to hell -- I was hoping it was something more......
