"Lost" Season 5 Excitement Thread — Page 9

I thought they said one more person went with Lapidus - a woman - but I can't imagine who it would be since we're to assume the five time jumped and we haven't met anyone else yet.

The Walt thing - I don't know. It seemed like they were trying to quell all the "WHAT ABOUT WALT?" questions that keep coming up, but still leaving it open for him to come back later. I'm wondering if that's the last we'll see of him.

---

He's a fantastic character - really, he and Gaius Baltar on Battlestar are probably the two most complex, interesting characters on TV in a LONG time. I don't think that's in short part due to how good the actors are playing each of them!

Their avoidance of Sun is very strange. I know why Locke didn't get to go see Sun (and honestly, if that was like a commitment thing from the actress, that she couldn't be there for that episode, their writing around that was BRILLIANT), but why would she and Sayid NOT disappear with Jack, Kate and Hurley? OH WAIT! I just thought of something -- Jack, Kate, Hurley...and Sawyer -- that was the list the Others had way back in Season Two - who Michael were supposed to bring to the camp! Maybe there's a connection there...think about it - they're the only ones who are in that time period from the plane but, so far as we've seen NOT in the group (Jin was in the van with the Dharma shirt, so something DIFFERENT must have happened to him than to Sawyer...)

---

That's my point...those four are in the past together and ONLY those four since Sawyer will meet back up with them. Jin is with Dharma so separate.

---

I don't understand why Sawyer and Jin are necessarily in different "timezones," as it were. I get the impression from Jin's behavior and the length of his hair that he's been with Dharma for a while. Same with Daniel, from the season premiere when he's helping to make the Dharma video. I'm guessing that they've all kind've hooked up with Dharma and been working with them for a while, because that's the time period the island ended on when Locke left.

OHHHH. I get what you're saying. I thought you were saying that Sawyer was in, like...a whole different time or whatever.

I want a Jin/Sun reunion RIGHT THIS MINUTE.

In the midst of the chaos, I've lost track of Rose and Bernard. Where and when are they?

In the next episode, apparently titled "LaFleur" will introduce a couple new (possible short term) recurring characters named Amy (played by reiko aylesworth) and Phil (played by Patrick Fischler) Reiko's IMDB page lists 3 episodes and Patrick's lists 4 (I'm guessing passengers on 316, but possibly Dharma people from whatever time period Jin was in).


Also, a lot of upcoming episodes have really great names (He's Our You; Whatever Happened, Happened; The Variable)

that's what I was thinking. Maybe some sort of Counterpoint episode.

I was wondering about that too. Michael believed he couldn't die until "the island" was ready for him to die and his work for the island was done. So I found it interesting that Locke could die.....although I guess maybe he didn't....

The only thing that makes me think the island prevented him from killing himself was Ben's timing. I know it's a tv show, but for him to walk in at the EXACT moment John was about to step off the desk? Bit of a coincidence...

bumping for tonight's episode...

btw.. next week is a rerun... what gives?!?! i thought they wanted to run the season without a break!

Doc Jensen's article today (a very interesting one) points out we're midway through the season as of today. I guess that means it'll end with a killer cliff hanger tonight.

They must have spaced them out to get the last episodes of the season into May...

That article was killer! I love that Doc Jensen thinks so deeply into LOST so I don't have to. :)
