Lost! - Page 46

This is starting to look a lot like that episode of Star Trek: Next Generation, where they got stuck in a time loop and they kept going 'round and 'round until finally Data figured out a way to pass a message on to the next time loop that gave them enough of a clue to break the loop (like, say, a sequence of numbers).

Poor Daniel, but why was he all "crazy dude waving a gun around?" That really didn't make any sense to me given his character so far, except that it served the plot point of getting him shot.

I think the direction they were going is that his new discovery that it might be possible to change the past had changed his attitude, made him more in charge and assertive.

I think you're right.......of course, the creators of Lost probably never watch Star Trek

Last night set up an interesting final season.

I wonder if that was the original incident at the Swan or if them hitting the electromagnetic pocket was the original incident that required the button pushing.

Does anyone remember what the station is where Desmond turned the key?

A bit of a cheat introducing entirely new characters and story to create the cliffhanger. And having some ancient dude transmute himself into looking like Locke pushes things further into the realm of the supernatural. I didn't really love the finale and am less than optimistic about how much I'll like the final season. All of the characters entirely switching motivations on a whim is getting tiresome.

"I changed my mind". Dunh dunh DUNH!!!! Um, lame.

"Why do you really want to blow up the island?" Jack/Juliet: "Because I'm heartbroken." What??? Not because you hate the goddamned island? Both of them have to have relationship reasons? Lame.

Quick, here's a flashback explaining why Juliet pushes men away! Ok, now immediately have the scene where she pushes Sawyer away! Ok, that's a wrap.

Open the show with the guy who ends up being Locke! Now, reveal that it's him at the end of the show!

They had all season to set up an awesome finale, but instead they crammed it in the last minute. Lazy, sloppy, and not at all effective.

The only moment I actually enjoyed was Juliet going down the chute, because I think Sawyer is at his best when he's losing something. Emotional scene, done well. An anomaly in a sea of WTF.

Oh, and Jacob?? "Here's a pen." "Here's a candy bar." "Talk to me for a second so your beloved gets killed." WHA? And not WHA? in a good way.

This finale left a bad taste in my mouth, which I hope dissipates by 2010.

Wow. Seriously a lot going on last night! The return of Vincent. Rose and Bernard enjoying their "retirement." Did anyone else notice in the scene with Kate and that other little boy that he was holding her toy plane?

The notLocke reveal was awesome! Locke box! So I guess he really is still dead then. Or not.

I think the statue is Sobek. Here's another source of info with the following quote: It was believed, in some sects, that Sobek was the creator of the world.

Also I went searching online, since I was wondering what Richard (Ricardus) had said and didn't take Latin in school, and found that the answer to "What lies in the shadow of the statue." is "Ille que nos omnis servabit."

"He that will save us all."
