Lord of The Curry Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 Get ready to not like this season then.
Youth N Asia Posted December 21, 2008 Report Posted December 21, 2008 Believe me, I'm preparing myself
dubq Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 I just hope they spend more time on the island this year than off it You realize that the entire theme for Season 5 is "getting back to the island" right? I mean, it's only been said like 500 times.
Mik Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 I think there will still be a ton of island narrative. I'm also more interested in what the fuck happened to Locke on the island and how he reaches out to everyone as Bentham. Obviously the Bentham stuff is off island but we have to figure out how Locke fucks everything up first and that should take up a fairly sizeable part of the season. I'd say it's going to be pretty close to 50/50 myself.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Or even if it's Locke that fucks things up. For all we know he does fine as a leader but the fact that the O6 left the island is likely what causes the shit to hit the fan.
Shooter in a Wedding Dress Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Just keep in mind, Locke keeps being right, and I think the overall theme of the show is what the man says is the point. The island brought them there for a reason, they left before that reason was discovered, so they have to come back. All this shit with the others and widmore and being on/off the island is, to me, just distractions from the main star of the show, the island itself. And this season is guaranteed to have the island as it's main focal point, regardless of how much time they spend on the story of the 06 getting back.

Lord of The Curry Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Season 4 for Christmas. Can't wait to marathon that shit.
Matt Young Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 For sure. I'm watching all 4 seasons prior to the new one. I'm just not waiting until 3 days prior this time around. I ended up starting season 3 around midnight January 30th/31st and finished the whole 18 hours or so just before the season 4 premiere.
Scroby Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Who is Jeremy Bentham again? Sorry it's very hard for me to keep track of a lot of the characters now. There's just so many of them.
Youth N Asia Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Who is Jeremy Bentham again? Sorry it's very hard for me to keep track of a lot of the characters now. There's just so many of them. apparently it's a name that John Locke takes. Coffin dude from season 3
The Metal Maniac Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 Are spoiler tags really necessary for things like that? I mean, anyone reading this far into the thread has either seen that already, or has already had a shitload of stuff spoiled. Like, the season ended months ago.
Youth N Asia Posted December 25, 2008 Report Posted December 25, 2008 I know, doesn't matter either way though
Aero Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 I finished rewatching season 4 this past weekend, but there's one thing that didn't make much sense to me. When Sayid and Desmond are on the freighter, but before they find out that Michael is Ben's spy, they get a note slipped into their room that says "Don't trust the captain". What was the deal with that? When they met the captain later in the episode, he was very forthcoming, information-wise, as Sayid said. And in later appearances, he seemed to be a decent guy, as he tried to help Sayid and Desmond when he let them use the zodiac raft to get back to the island, AND he was against Keamy. Plot-hole or what?
Matt Young Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 It may have been Michael trying to cover his ass so they wouldn't reveal his identity to the captain, but more likely than that, it was Keamy and his people trying to stop Sayid and Desmond from siding with the captain so that they could fool them into taking the side of the Keamy-led crew.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 26, 2008 Report Posted December 26, 2008 Yeah, I'd always assumed that it was Keamy or one of his platoon who left the note. Agreed that it could've used a bit more exposition though.
Jingus Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 In other words, it was a loose thread which got completely forgotten about. Which tends to happen a lot on this show. Get used to it. Anyone explained what the hell the deal was with that gargantuan statue foot which had four toes? Or what the deal is with the numbers? Or several million other questions? Let's face it, Lost has so many unsolved mysteries that there's no possible way that most of them will ever be explained.
Spaceman Spiff Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Foot statue is supposed to be addressed this upcoming season.

Shooter in a Wedding Dress Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 I had a theory about something, that may of been discussed here or elsewhere, I'm gonna tag it just incase... Anyone now thinking the Black Rock ended up in the middle of the island as a result of the island "relocating" a previous time? Magnus Hanso finds this powerful island pop up under his boat, his son Alvar starts DHARMA to tap the islands mysterious resources after father returns with stories of this island? Thoughts? Not really spoilers but it's a damn good theory so I'm tagging it.
Youth N Asia Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Foot statue is supposed to be addressed this upcoming season. yeah, and from what rumors are about the foot the question to go along with it is: just how long has Richard been on the island?
Lord of The Curry Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 Why is how long Richard has been around spoiler-tagged?
Youth N Asia Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 ...cause the rumor is that Richard's gonna be seen barefoot this season and he'll have one less toe than normal...like the foot statue Forget spoiler tags
The Metal Maniac Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 I've had that idea floating around in my head for a bit. I'm pretty much convinced that the island is Atlantis, and the ancient Atlanteans somehow were the first to truly unlock the power of the Island, causing it to move, and also destroying virtually everything on the island, save a few chunks of stuff (like the foot) and those weird underground places Ben went that had the hyrogliphics (which I know I spelled horribly) on the wall. And of course, because the Island wasn't where it used to be anymore, everyone just assumed that it must've sank.
Shooter in a Wedding Dress Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 We need a shot of Locke's toes, bet he's got like 4 and a half.
Youth N Asia Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 are they going to be 6 seasons or 7?
Scroby Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Was it ever explained why Libby was in the nuthouse when Hurley was there?
Youth N Asia Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 not yet, but I'm filing it under because everyone on the freaking show has to be connected to each other no matter how forced it seems
Scroby Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Speaking of everyone being connected. I picked up the season 2 dvd set (finally) and checked out the connections part of the spacial features. I had no idea the woman who picked Hurley's winning numbers was messing around with Sawyer or that Locke and Hurley had the same boss. I still want to know why Libby was in that hospital.
