azatoth Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 didnt someone predict this earlier in the thread? i did. i was aware of a spoiler somewhere where the island being a sort of cork was mentioned. it was for once a really cool episode. i like the idea where jacob and MiB are constantly in a sort of game trying to outsmart each other within certain rules that seem to be in place. what i'd really like to see is that MiB is really the good guy and the writers are fooling us to believe he's the baddie. so far jacob's been the biggest dick by grabbing a bunch of unwilling people to the island to take his job. but i am sure the writers don't have the balls to pull a complete 180 in the finale.

pcock Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 it seems to me that it could easily not literally be heaven/hell purgatory etc. they planted the idea there in a big way, but it hardly seemed concreted in fact. anyway that was the first episode of lost in a very, very long time that didnt feel like it was acted out by retarded high school children. good stuff. if they keep that up till the end this could very well be majorly redeemed.

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 i don't want to be debbie downer but despite being better than usual it was still shit. and made no sense whatsoever. so jacob brings people to the island to prove to this other guy that people are not bad? ok.... and the island is a cork. ok.... and richard turns up and jacobs like "hey man you want a job?" and i'm like seriously? 6 seasons and now this? and the smoke monsters plan to get richard to kill jacob, did that seem a bit retarded. pretend to be his wife then go smokey on his wife and then tell richard that you are smokey.... huh ok i'll go kill the devil if this smokething says so ok.... what else is on in the lost timeslot? cougar town? basically the cork killed laura palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wire. Which lost a little believability in the last season, but was still about three million times better than Lost ever was. But also, it wasn't 22 episodes a season. I've never seen a truly tight 22-episode-season show. 10-13 can definitely work, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blir Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 See what happens when you have a really different story and minimal cast members? An excellent episode. I've gotta hand it to Nestor Carbonell, I think he acted brilliantly, it sucks that he plays such a minor role otherwise. It was great seeing the original man in black again, he looks fucking intense. Also, that was the only time I've ever liked Hurley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
