Lost...

[dabrockster]

I've been getting a little too geeky with LOST these days, listening to podcasts and reading forums. It's unbelievable how many people said they expected the nurse fooling around with the principal to be Juiliet. You dumbf***'s, Juliet is going to end up meeting Sawyer and getting coffee together. She's not going to be a tramp hooking up with a disgusting old man.

Sounds like you ventured to the Teeny-popper LOST site..

Another point. Back to my theory that the flash sideways is showing the characters' final destiny and that they have life lessons learned from their time on the island imprinted on them at a subconscious level... I still don't know exactly how it fits together, but I thought this played out perfectly with Ben's story. The writers showed us both stories together and once Ben made the correct decision on the island, the decision he would make on the flash sideways was already made. He had manipulative tendencies still, but he had the integrity to make the right choice (which was developed by making the right choice on the island). If he shoots the girl on the island and goes off to take another shot at being the boss of the island, then the flash sideways would have shown him dusting off Alex and taking the principal position.

I think you are right..

Juliet is a doctor not a nurse right?

Yes that's true, but I don't think that would rule out that she's not a nurse in the flash sideways. People's lives are definitely different in various ways.

Yeah, I've read theories that it is a bit of an epilogue to the show.

I liked last night's episode, and my favorite part was the school principal, previously seen as the jerk reporter in the early Die Hards and as the EPA inspector in Ghostbusters.

He might have when he paid for her NKOTB lunch box she tried to shoplift... can't remember.

he touched her on the nose.

Decent episode last night. There wasn't a ton done to advance the story but we learn a little bit more about where this all might be going.

I think the writers are doing a very interesting thing (very intentionally I might add) as they paint Fake-Locke/Smokey in almost a sympathetic role...one which I'm sure won't last.

Also, Charlotte was pretty smokin when she was all dolled up.

I'm excited for next week's episode as it is all about Richard Alpert. So again, there won't be a lot done to advance the story next week, but it'll give us more of a firm foundation as to who he is, where he's come from, and why he has done what he has done.

For me it was probably the weakest show of this season, but I'm still completely enthralled. Desmond locked behind the door in the submarine?

Me too. I have be waiting for this episode about Richard..

Spoiler

Didn't they already reveal that he was one of the guys on the slave ship that landed on the island 400 years ago or so? Hasn't he also been referred to as Ricardus? Was that the Spanish version of Richard 400 years ago?

Yes, that is right. Also, Richard was in chains on the ship. So either he was a slave or (more likely IMHO) he was captured and being held as prisoner. mutiny? His promise was to never die, so I'm thinking he was facing death, thus the exchange would have so much appeal.

Interesting episode last night. Glad we finally got Richard's back story. One of the things that the producers have started to do with this show is give you just enough information so you can mostly understand someone's back story or why they've made the choices they've made.

I wish they would've shown a little more about his evolution on the island, but that's mostly a minor complaint. Otherwise, good episode, lots to digest over the next week or so.

7 episodes left before the series finale.

I loved the episode last night and everything it revealed. I think they are borrowing from the Incarnations of Immortality series and Jacob/Locke are God/The Devil and now the candidates are potential replacements to God.
