Lost: Season Six

[flash9286]

Depends on what you mean by classic. It isn't the best episode of Lost, probably not in my top five off the top of my head. I think a lot people where going to love any episode that told Richard's back story.

[Guynemer]

I'm confused as to why so many people felt this was a classic episode. It was good, but nowhere near the heights reached in Walkabout, The Constant or several other truly classic Lost episodes.

I'm with you. I saw that the denizens of one website had voted it the best episode since The Constant, and I felt like I was taking crazy pills.

[Dr Strangelove]

I was hoping that Richard's past went back a lot further - to Rome or Egypt, but maybe giving him the name Ricardos was sufficient hint.

[Drake Tungsten]

I was hoping we'd see more of the Island's history as we explored Richard's.

This. Was kinda disappointed because of lack of it.

[rah]

The only reason I ranked it high, (not the best) was because there was no future alt-universe to waste my time.

And yes I was dissapointed that it really gave us nothing really new that they hadn't already alluded to.

I wonder how hard Guy just came in his pants at the sight of Sun taking off her shirt...

[Drake Tungsten]

Dude, that episode was way better than last week's.

And next week's looks even better! Desmond!

No comment.

Dude, that episode was way better than last week's.

Disagree. Other than the Kate ep, none of this season has been bad, but this was par for the course.

And next week's looks even better! Desmond!

About goddamn time. Pretty much everyone was speculating that Des was behind the locked door, glad they were right. I'm not sure what his purpose will be, though. If he doesn't get a happy ending (oh, grow up), as it appeared he did at the end of last season, I'm gonna be pissed.

[Guynemer]

Did I miss it, or did Alternative Jin not look in a mirror? I saw Sun do it, but not Jin. If he didn't, I wonder if that means Sun is the candidate.


Jin popping Mikhail right in the eyeball? ****ing badass.

[Drake Tungsten]

Other than the Kate ep, none of this season has been bad, but this was par for the course.

Disagree. This episode had an actually interesting Sideways story (because we knew that Jin ended up being found in the fridge by Sayid, but we wanted to see how) and had on-Island action that featured almost every character. Plus, Sun got down to her bra, dude. And Jin looking at the pictures of Ji-Yeon on Sun's camera was just as touching as Richard's moment with his wife, the highlight of last week's episode. I think this was the third best episode of the season, after Locke and Ben's.

The only lame part was Sun running into a tree for no good reason and then suddenly being unable to speak English, but that was rescued somewhat by the fact that I think the loss of English ability will probably mean something later and the fact that the actress who plays Sun is a way more convincing actor in Korean. That Korean rant at Richard was awesome.

[Guynemer]

I think it was a bit of the Alternative world spilling over into the Island world; it appeared that Alternative Sun legitimately could not speak English.

Also, you are right, Sun in bra = awesome.

I think the premiere and Sawyer and Richard episodes were better than this; it was on par with Jack and Sayid, and clearly better than the Kate crapfest. (The Locke and Ben episodes, needless to say, are the cream of the crop.)




While I love Desmond, I do worry about bringing him back. It better be for a great reason, because his story appeared to be relatively tied up, and happily so, at the end of last season. The other question I have is just how much time has elapsed since Ben shot him. 316 took off the next day, right? Can't be more than a week has passed--how did he get Des out of the hospital? Whither Penny, Charlie, and Eloise?

Also--what will happen when (if) Des encounters Ben on Hyrda Island? Is Ben destined to suffer yet another curbstomping?

[DaShi]

Jin and Sun's story was like a bad Korean drama. I couldn't help but think that was deliberate.

[Drake Tungsten]

I think it was a bit of the Alternative world spilling over into the Island world; it appeared that Alternative Sun legitimately could not speak English.

That's what I figured, as well.

[Guynemer]

Let's count the people who have beaten the **** outta Ben:

First, Danielle shot him with a ****ing crossbow.
Then, Sayid tried to beat the truth out of him.
Ana Lucia took a turn at him as well.
I don't remember if Jack or Locke beat him when he was locked up in the armory too, but I think at least one of them did.
Then, Jack intentionally botched his spinal surgery.
Then, Jack beat the ever living **** out of him when heading for the radio antenna.
Then, Danielle knocked him out when he was tied to a tree.
Then, James had a go while dragging him along after John.
Then, Keamy pistol-whipped him at the Orchid.
Then, Desmond ****ing destroyed him after he shot Des and threatened Des' family.
Then, Sun knocked him the hell out with an oar at the 316 crash site.

Undoubtedly, more to come.
