Lost Season 5

[CrustClock]

Truth drug? What shitty writing. The acting in that scene is cringeworthy, especially the spaced-out hysterics.

Sayid has become such a badly written character - his personality is mercurial; he'll just flip from reticent, philosophical and conscientious, to a cold motherfucking badass, to mr. sensitive; from sadistic fuck to mr. pacifist, and, in that awful Russian-carpark scene; to a clueless moron. That little scene was fucking awful; such bald exposition, and Sayid's character is portrayed as a gormless puppet, dependent on Ben's orders; whereas before he was the only one who saw through Linus' lies. What was so genius about the writing of Locke's character was that he was a mysterious, knife-wielding hunter in the first season, and you really wanted to make him the hero of the thing, but in reality he's a fucking chump. All his life. To be fair, they've kept that aspect of Locke's character consistant, but for all the other characters they seem to have forgotten to have their actions reflect their personalities. Instead this show is now about cliched time travel plot devices.

Well this episode was awesome.



Again, time doesn't work that way.

Secondly, what are you talking about? Locke was in the coffin. Ben killed chilled him. Ben, after attacking Penny, got on the plane with Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid (with Locke in the back). Ben is already back on the island.

Locke has already seen Ben on the island and has chosen not to take his revenge on him. Presumably, he feels that Ben too was just following the prophecies of his death. He's also the leader of the Hostiles (Others) now anyways.

I think what he meant was Ben might die from the injuries sustained in the plane crash

See, it's not hard to follow. There's just some gaps.

I see now. Most of my confusion was based on not remembering things that happened a while ago.

[Biblo]

The only decent human being in the whole show is Hurley.

and he's a nutbar

[buttplug]

and he's a nutbar

lol foodpun

[Poltergeist]

I actually kind of liked that episode, better than the last few we've had. I think the actor playing Sayid did a really good job when he shot little ben.

[Biblo]

lol foodpun

maybe I should've said Apollo Bar

[Biblo]

Surround Screen Smoke - Playing: Lost reruns.

yeah that was a little dodgy i must say

[Poltergeist]

lol azn scientist from the orientation movies is miles dad who didnt see that coming


also calling it now hurley causes the accident that makes them install the computer in the swan

Hurley is the origin of the numbers, he decides the code or whatever, no idea why I didn't think of that as soon as time travel was involved.

Also can we just have some more Faraday episodes please? I'm pretty sure we only care about him and Desmond now.

Also I'm starting to like Jack a little more now as a character.

[buttplug]

Are you kidding me.

John n' Ben ones are the best.

[Biblo]

Faraday episodes ftw!!

I hadn't thought of the numbers thing, that would make sense on some level. The only snag being Hurley's lottery numbers. Without them it makes sense that they were just a perfectly innocuous serial code that got re-used a few times and due to time travel appeared to be controlling Hurley's life. But the fact that every single lotto number was matched perfectly, it blows it out.

Tangent: About 3 years ago the Irish lotto numbers came out as 4 8 15 16 23 24
I swear that's 100% true. Fucking nuts. The fact that the wrong number is just the right one reversed blows my mind. Unless it was rigged. Then it's just normal

[Poltergeist]

Actually, Hurley being the origin of the numbers is the only thing that makes sense, because it would mean his lottery numbers WERE completely random and weren't influenced - he just knew what they were going to be


Wow that doesn't make any sense at all if you're not me. I can't explain it.

[Poltergeist]

It doesnt make sense becuase if you watched the episode this week, the numbers were the serial number for the door on the hatch, hurley has nothing to do with it.

also they are key numbers in the valenzetti equation, which hurley still has nothing to do with. also it wouldnt explain how those numbers won the lottery when hurley played them. the numbers are just important, and at this point, not the result of anything except the island

Ah, I live in England and the newset episode doesn't air til sunday.

What I thought wsa that Hurley was the origin of the umbers, like, he told the numbers to the crazy guy who repeated them, who would then go on to tell them to Hurley in the past, which would mean Hurley was the cause of the numbers - If Hurley didn't tell the crazy guy the numbers, he wouldn't repeat them, and hurley wouldn't use them in the lottery, they would STILL be the winning numbers in the lottery, however.

[Biblo]

its already been explained that the crazy guy got the numbers from the radio tower on the island that broadcasted them continuously until the french team crashed on the island and rousseau wrote over the message with an SOS. this was the reason hurley was on the plane in the first place. he followed the numbers to australia, found out nothing then headed back to LA on oceanic 815.

this is, atleast what i can remember from season 2 or 3.

so this circle would only really happen if hurley is the one that makes the numbers broadcast. it still doesnt make hurley the cause of the numbers, but more like a tool for the island. because the island wants hurley there, and the island makes the numbers important, not hurley.

yeah but if hurley causes the broadcast it takes a lot of mystery out of the numbers. maybe they were chosen as the serial code because of the valenzetti equation. then that influenced hurley to broadcast them. outside of the lottery everything is now mundane

I'm my own grandpa

[Biblo]

I'm my own grandpa

[Poltergeist]

Hey I actually liked that episode. It certainly gave Miles a little more value in my eyes.

[Biblo]

hurley broadcasting the numbers wouldnt make them mundane, because the source of the numbers are still a mystery.

well then we're getting into Terminator territory

The Terminator was sent back in time stop John Connor from being born, but in doing so, caused his creation, as Kyle Reese was sent back to protect him. Terminator was only created because Cyberdyne found the Terminator that had been sent back in time.

Both John Connor and the Terminator essentially appeared out of nowhere.

The numbers could be the same

[Poltergeist]

i guess the point is to solve all the mysteries before the end of the show, otherwise it would leave everyone blueballed as fuck

hurley broadcasting the numbers wouldnt make them mundane, because the source of the numbers are still a mystery.

I actually get more entertainment from the show thinking that they won't solve half the myseteries. It's less of an annoying experience that way.

[Poltergeist]

Oh hey there Abrams great fucking move killing off the most interesting fucking character you cunt
