yeah these last few episodes of lost have been absolutely terrible. feels rushed as shit, slapped together, over 9000 plotholes, just so they can answer some questions and kill off some people. The finale better be damn good, or this show is going to be remembered as the most pointless show to ever exist
evangeline lilly has dated–
the hobbit dude
the actor that played saiyid(i’m only guessing that is how that name is spelled.)
and she’s dated the actor that played micheal, {walt’s dad}
as for this week’s episode…pretty good.
didn’t really answer any Q&As, but it was compelling anyway.
but i can’t figure out why the adoptive mom had a hard on over jacob’s bro not leaving the island.
since he doesn’t really turn into the smoke monster(evil), until jacob tosses him into the lit cavern.
and he just wanted to be gone from the island…HE DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THAT STUPID LIGHT…HE JUST WANTED TO USE IT TO GET OFF THAT @#$% ISLAND!!!
?
o 0
She didn’t want anyone to leave because people would come back for the light.
YUP…everyone was thinkin the same thing as u.
maybe that’s why…wait a minute!!!
maybe, just maybe…the mom had this planned out all along.
maybe she wanted to piss off mib,…so he’d end up killing her(releasing her from her smoke monster state+attachment to the lit cavern), maybe that’s why she said “thank you” to MIB…
…then she hoped/planned on jacob to toss MIB into the lit cavern so MIB could replace her as smoke monster…
…BECAUSE THE SMOKE MONSTER IS THE PROTECTOR OF THE LIT CAVERN/ISLAND!!! AND NOT THE JACOB CHARACTER!!!
remember…jacob was able to leave the island…and he did, if you remember, when in last season’s Saiyid storyline where jacob stops saiyid to ask for directions and Nadia got hit with the car.
and when jacob was in the taxi with hurley. etc,etc…
he has left the island on many occasions…because he was never the protector of the island to begin with , it was the MIB dude all along! even if MIB is not fully aware/conscious of it(his role).
also, remember the episode involving the french chick when she was preggo with ben linus’ adoptive daughter{forgot her name…the daughter i mean}…
…anyway, in that episode, the rest of her shipwrecked french friends and husband got pulled under the temple…where they where psychologically “changed”…and they called the smoke monster the “GUARDIAN OF THE TEMPLE”
perhaps the temple is really the island, and the smoke monster is the island’s protector…and that is really why that MIB/smoke monster can never leave the island. cause the smoke monster is the only thing that keeps the evil of the island contained. i’m guessing.
oh who really fucking cares anyway!?!? why am i even bothering trying to figure this shit out anyway?
WHO’S ON FIRST?
CHARLIE BABBIT.
This show is pure nonsense.
absolutely. i concur.
but besides that, someone here at this thread stated that they believed that the show would end with jack n locke overlooking the sea, sitting on a tree stump.
i agree. i’d say that is the correct prediction…but i think now, with jin,sun, and saiyid death, that kate sawyer hurley …are goners too.
dont know about desmond and blonde chick though
what happened to ben linus? i missed that episode.
I think he, miles, and rich are still kickin around somewhere, cookin up hella schemes. (though i could be wrong, i missed the jack episode, was only filled in on the details)
terrible.
Agreed. I was totally bored for the entire duration of this episode (expect the flashback to the season-1 Evie Lily… boner city…).
MORE HATE!!!:rock::rock::rock:
I don’t like this show, but I’ll stick around to watch the finale which will probably make BSG’s finale look like a fracking masterpiece.
Final 10 minutes were the highlight of the show, cave was chessy as hell. Overall poor episode.
I actually liked this Episode. There’s a lot of theories out there… like Smoke Monster is the soul of MIB - hence, the lady’s mentino to jacob that going in there is ‘worse than death.’ I don’t think i buy it, but technically it’s plausible.
Thinks I noticed, or thought I noticed, or Im stupid and got it completely wrong:
The Mother would not have taken Jacob and killed the mother, if MIB wasn’t born as well. She took that as a sign that he was the future protector of the island. Born without a name, and wasn’t expected by the mother. Thats why she always favored him, and thought he was 'special.'
The mother never aged, just like Richard. She looked the same when the boys were given birth as she did when MIB stabbed her to death.
Jacob stopped aging when he took over for her - I assume its because of the juice he drank right before… the mother said “They are the same now”… I assume this means protects and immortal.
MIB actually died. We saw MIB’s body being layed down next to the moms, so smoke monster was either A) the soul, which I doubt or B) was actually imprisoned in that light, and was able to escape because MIB’s body entered. The true purpose of that lady wasnt to just protect the light, but to keep the prison safe from outside interference. Of course, Jacob within the first 10minutes of holding the job completely fucked it up.
Hence, Jacob can leave the island because he’s the protector - he’s not bound by the same rules as smokey. Smokey couldn’t kill jacob, because he took over MIBs body, and whatever the mom did to ‘make sure they couldn’t hurt eachother’, applied to Smokey after he took the body. Doesnt really explain what she did to make them not hurt eachother, and technically we saw Jacob kick MIBs ass twice and ‘kill’ him, although I guess the explanation was ‘a fate worse than death’ so maybe he really wasnt killed…
I dunno. More questions, some half-answers. I think they could have done a lot more with the 3rd last episode. But I won’t call it bad, I enjoyed it for what it was. Im assuming that Jack is gonna hafta get his hands on that sauce that Jacob drank to become the new protector…
And man, I feel bad for MIB. Dude just wanted to go back to where he came from - can’t fault the dude for that. the bitch of a ‘mother’ killed his REAL mother (uhh how were the babies fed? lol) and then manipulated those kids their whole lives. Bitch deserved to get ganked, and JACOB was the gullible dipshit. Made me kinda flipflop on the whole good/bad thing they had going between them. Its more MIB was a victim and Jacob is just a retard.
dunno i thought it was okay. somethings are better left up to imagination and literally explaining them kind is a let down. like everyone assumed the whispers were dead people, but then when michael told us it was like oh well ok thanks. i think it would of been so much better if it was just let unanswered but then fans go crazy so they have to write episodes like this which will never satisfy
the mother being the original smoke monster and manipulating the man in black to kill her was pretty cool. also playing jacob vs him by appearing as the kids dead mother so jacob could be the sucker to protect the island and man in black the sucker to take over as the smoke monster was smart.
i was hoping the show would end with something random like everyone dying then jacob admitting man in black won and asked if he wanted to play again and then it looped back to jack opening his eyes in the jungle but now i see it’s gonna end on the lame jack sitting on the beach with fake locke similar to s5 finale beginning. maybe they’ll be a scene of jack touching people a la jacob.
if they wanted to explain the mysteries and i also know they say the flash sideways will be important, it would of been nicer if they used this season (and last) to have multiple flashback episodes involving jacob/mib a la season 1/2 instead of trying to cram everything into one episode.
if they set it up like this:
sometime in season 5 -> this episode appeared over 2 flashback episodes
sometime in season 6 -> flashback explaining the “rules” over MIB: why he can’t cross water, what’s up with the ash
sometime in season 6 -> flashback explaining what’s up with the cabin, lighthouse, who gets chosen as a candidate
could of turned out better
i forgot in my rambling i also liked the idea that
the island is life itself and needs protecting, but at the same time people just don’t want to protect it and look for ways out of their responsibility. who knows how long jacob and his “mother” were protecting the island, but it’s obvious both want out of the responsibility and would rather die
Slow but appreciative clap
Someone had to say it.
Alright, but none of that explained why the island spit out black smoke or how Smokey KNEW that making a wheel turn and shining light in the water would be a time machine/ portal off the island. There MUST be some supernatural explanation to all of this. We now know that Smokey could see dead people and Jacob could not. Also, as far as we know, he’s the first person on the island that ever did. Why? Who knows?
How are candidates determined, anyway?
So many unanswered questions. I have a feeling I’m going to hate myself for ever watching this show…
When The Prisoner ended in the 60s
chance we see Damon / Carlton ever again after the finale?
also damn i forgot how hot kate was in s1

Yeah, I saw her in that episode and nearly fell in love with her again… but then I remembered how boring she’s made the show. It doesn’t make me want to penetrate past her any less, but I can’t forget what she and Claire have done to the show. Just every main female character in this show made it almost unbearable, other than Juliet. I could look at her all day.
The island spitting out smoke was a result of MIB going into the tunnel of light. Foster mom said that whoever goes in there suffers a fate worse then death. MIB body died but his “soul” survived in the form of the black smoke. In a previous episode, MIB as smokey mentioned that Jacob took away his body which happens in this episode. And since MIB’s body died, MIB as smoke monster could assume his form. But the fate worse then death was because MIB is no longer human.
MIB knowing that turning the wheel would do something is only explained by by his mom saying that he’s “special”. Same with how he could see dead people. I don’t think they’re going to delve into a scientific analysis or anything like that because… well I don’t think anyone can. Just like Hurley or Walt or Miles. If they tried to explain it scientifically… it’d just end up sounding silly.
