Administrator Toups Posted May 16, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted May 16, 2009 It sure was! Juliet. Great scene with her trying to hold on to Sawyer and Kate trying to help. I figured Juliet was going to die since there were reports of Elizabeth Mitchell booking a pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 18, 2009 Members Share Posted May 18, 2009 Toups, are you a fan of these things Lost does like Tawaret statue, the Hatch, the Temple, the Numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 18, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted May 18, 2009 I wouldn't say I'm a "fan" - I don't really do anything or seek out to find more information on them or anything like that. But I do like them as part of the show and mythology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 19, 2009 Members Share Posted May 19, 2009 Oh, I don't go into those decoding-the-show discussions. Very tiresome! I just let the writers write it all out. But I like these bizarre things that pop up all the time — I mean, for God's sake, a Tawaret statue?! — it entertains me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 From discoalan on Guardian's website, a bit cleaned up: To the question ‘are they making it all up’ — large parts, probably, but something interesting happens if you just look at the series finales. You can see the big story arc pretty clearly. Here’s the entire story in chronological order, rather than episode order, —In 1845 Jacob and the man in black sit on the beach watching the Black Swan and discuss how much the man in black wants to kill Jacob. But for some reason he can’t [season 5 finale, see comment above about the recurring images of black vs. white, in the series]. A war begins, good vs. evil, although we have only seen hints of it. —An electromagnetic pocket on the island explodes, creating the ‘incident’. [season 5 finale] The hatch is built to stop it recurring. The island undergoes some kind of trauma — no children can be born here. The war escalates. —Jacob goes out into the wider world and makes contact with our heroes. [season 5 finale] —When Desmond fails to operate the hatch, the oceanic plane is brought down on the island [season 2 finale]. It brings with it all of the people with whom Jacob has made contact. Presumably they are here to save Jacob/the island from the Man in Black. —The man in log cabin, previously thought to be Jacob but lets assume it’s his enemy the man in black, tells John Locke to ‘help me’. [season 3 finale] The man in black takes the body of Christian Shepherd and tells him more explicitly that he needs to leave the island and die [season 4 finale] Locke dies [season 3 finale, Jeremy Bentham’s coffin] prompting Jack to have visions telling Kate ‘we HAVE to go back to the island.’ They don’t know why, but now WE know that they are pawns between Jacob and the Man in Black. —Locke’s dead body returns to the island. Just as with Christian Shepherd, the Man in black takes control of Locke’s body [season 5 finale] and uses it to kill Jacob. He tells him ‘you have no idea what lengths I have gone to get back here.’ Jacob dies. Not sure where it goes next, but feel it’s significant that our characters are being controlled by higher forces. We now know that ‘Locke’ is helping the Man in Black / Shadowy figure from the Log cabin / Christian Shepherd on the island. And we know that Kate, Jack etc. have been touched by Jacob, possibly making them his guys. Charles Widmore and Ben Linus are just pawns in a bigger game. A game, that will presumably end with a couple, dying in a cave, with a black stone and a white stone — a clue planted early in season one.

Members MarkH Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well, if this is accurate, it is very useful. It gives a big part of the overarching throughline that helps us decipher all the details. I used to love things like the statue...but it becomes exhausting (for me) to "hold it in mind" for season after season, waiting for some kind of explanation. I think that was my problem. I expected everything to be clearly explained and wrapped up. So, I spent too much time "puzzling", rather than just enjoying. And that, eventually, gets to be exhausting.

Members Sylph Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 I think so, too. I read this several times and it just makes sense! However, I'm not sure if it totally kills the suspense or... I just have a weird feeling after "knowing" this. It's not bad at all, it's very good as a story, but I think I shouldn't have read it and should have waited for another 8 months to see things wrapped up. I love it how they stuff the show with so many things: the spinning wheel, the tapestry, Penelope allusion, Flannery O'Connor, Egyptian myth... Love it! And more because of the wide compass of it all: literature, mythology, science... Everything from every place on Earth! I did, too! But also when Damon Lindelof clearly stated: There will be unanswered questions, it made total sense. Who on Earth can explain so many things in one season left? But I'm hoping the most important stuff gets explained. And one of those is not the Island. Damon Lindelof: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
