Re: LOST Tonight
 

Okay, we have to discuss this episode after everyone has seen it.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

i haven't watched house since like the middle of the third season...it was waaaaaaaaaay to stretched out and then they went on a break so i forgot everything that happened and i never really got back into it...would it be worth it if i did?

Re: LOST Tonight
 

You're talking about House MD? We're talking about LOST. I'm confused.

But House does come back next week.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

Already saw it, thank you BitTorrent. It was a good episode. We'll have a full on spoiler-thread as soon as you've seen the whole thing.

And happydude, House is good too. House's assistants ended up resigning from his team but they're still working at the hospital and he has a whole new set of quirky sidekicks.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

It's on in half an hour for me - I believe.
I've been anticipating.
Expect a reply later on tonight or tomorrow.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

I just got done like 30 minutes ago watching it on TV.

We should discuss after our other PT friends are done.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

wow...lol...sorry i meant lost...don't know why i typed house...so yeah...question still stands...

Re: LOST Tonight
 

Well, I think it would definitely be worth it. Especially now that you can watch all the episodes at once on abc.com in streaming HD. Nothing better than that. This season has seen a lot of significant plot twists.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

Will we resume discussion in our previous LOST thread or will thatmariolover create a new one specifically for this episode?

Re: LOST Tonight
 

I edited the title with the episode name and date, so let's just discuss in here after everyone else is done viewing.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

unfortunately...that's only for you southern bastards...we can't watch that here in canadia :(

i'd have to go rent it or god forbid...download it.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

Are you serious? That's too bad. I pretty much watch all my shows (LOST and House) on my laptop via streaming HD.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

yeah...both ABC and fox only allow US IPs to connect to the streams...i suppose i could go through a proxy, but i don't think that would work out all too well.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

Happydude, this might work for you. Not sure if you've tried it before, but it uses google as a proxy: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/h/4807

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

Such a good episode. I'm so glad LOST is back... even if it's only for a few episodes.

Re: LOST Tonight
 

no...doesn't work because the origin IP isn't hidden...so ABC/Fox still sees my canadian IP and doesn't let me watch.

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

Have to wait for tomorrow to rewatch the ending; the sound cut out for the first five minutes of the last segment.

Time travel and teleportation is making my mind go

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

Wow, awesome.


My brain hurts

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

WOW! So many crazy things happened.

Alright, so now that everyone has seen it...

how do you guys think the 'black smoke machine' functions? And I'm calling it a machine, because it very much so seems to be a machine to me. If you listen closely it clearly makes a grinding metallic noise.

Well we wont know fro sure until we get a look inside the room Ben went into. Sad that they killed off Alex though :(

Spoliers

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

I don't think its a machine. I like to believe its actually some sort of organism that Ben just has control over maybe.

Also want to share this site. It has one of the most detailed LOST theories I have yet to see. In terms of offering explanations for everything. It can be hard to wrap your brain around all the info though.

Heres a visual representation of what this guy is talking about

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

So basically, it's Donnie Darko all over again.

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

Damn it, I don't even know which order to read that timeline GM posted. I'll just wait until the show ends, and I'm not going to think about theories and explanations anymore!

*spoilers*
And about the last episode - I thought it was really good. I couldn't believe they killed Alex, I wasn't too happy about that. But I'm just really glad Claire didn't die. I also loved the way Ben woke up in the middle of the desert. And when Ben said "that'll do it" when Sayid emptied a clip into that guy.

Small things aside, it was a significant episode in my opinion. I always like it when it explains some stuff.

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

The fact that Ben allowed Alex to be killed shows just how devoted he is to the island.

I also loved the scene where Ben and Widmore face off in Widmore's bedroom. I don't get why Ben couldn't kill him. Might have something to do with time travel. But I love how Ben vowed to kill Widmore's daughter and Widmore vowed to find and get his island one day. That was such a great scene. Clashing of the titans.

We also learned that Sayid is voluntarily serving as Ben's hitman when earlier in the season we thought he was maybe being blackmailed into doing it against his will or something.

Also, I'd just like to tell Hurley to STFU. I hate him so much. He's loud, dumb, and annoying. Right now he's caring for Claire's baby and everything just cause he thinks that'll get him laid by Claire.

Fat chance, Hurley. Pun intended.

I thought the scene where Ben takes out the two armed camel-riders was a bit of a stretch. He's super smart but come on, he's not that agile and skilled.

Also, why does Locke insist on calling everyone by their first names?

If Sawyer wanted to be called James, he would've told everyone. Same goes Hurley. Everyone calls him Hurley so why does Locke have to be oh so different and call him Hugo? It's just annoying.

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

I think the fact Ben "allowed" that to happen, doesn't mean he was picking the Island over her, it means he was underestimating the lengths they would go to, and therefore, for once he didn't have the upper hand in something.

I love how human it made Ben, that episode. He is now my favourite character by far, because he gives off some really low-key Grissom-isms.

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

My guess is because Widmore has been to the island.

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

I love the fact that Locke calls everyone by there first names, i dont know why but i like it. I also love sawyers nicknames for everyone.

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

Yeah, I did too. But he kind of stopped doing that, didn't he? Like ever since he lost that ping-pong match and had to follow his part of the deal by not calling people nicknames. I guess he just doesn't do it as much.

He's kind of bonded with Hurley though. Like last night he didn't want Locke and Ben taking Hurley with them. And he's definitely on a more intimate level with Kate. Maybe he's just kind of obtained a greater respect for his fellow survivors.

Oh, also the scene where Locke, Sawyer, and Hurley are acting all serious and dramatic, and then the camera reveals they're just playing a board game, that was a funny moment the writers made. :D

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

Like Typh said, I don't think he ever thought they would kill her. A minor miscalculation. And we still don't know if she was his daughter or not.

Maybe Widmore is Ben's father or something, killing him would result in some kind of paradox. Might explain why Ben's father hates him so much, and why Ben killed him without even thinking.

Sayid volunteered, yes, but the smile we saw on Ben's face tells us that he manipulated Sayid to make him want to do it. Just like he always does.

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

Er? We know that Ben raised her and treated her as if she was his own. Even if there is some revelation that she was actually his biological child, we already know that Ben feels she was his daughter. The impact he feels from her death doesn't change for him.

Or, the less convoluted explanation that Ben hated his father for the way he treated/abused him for over twenty years. Their relationship wasn't shown to be a positive one, and Ben isn't a character that is shown to be especially forgiving or merciful.

There are enough mysteries in this show without creating new, unnecessary ones. :- )

Re: LOST Tonight (The Shape of Things to Come: 4/24)
 

I was just stretching my imagination with Ben and his father.

But about Ben and Alex - I wasn't really talking about the impact of her death. It still isn't clear who her real father is, and Ben saying that she isn't her daughter doesn't help at all.
