LOST (Spoilers!)

Ok, this just another of the dozens of questions that are still to be answered, but why didn´t Rousseau recognise Jin after the crash if they had already met many years before and Jin has exactly the same aspect?

Nither do I. But then if Jin and Rousseau didn´t met up close (after the crash), why does Jin recognise her (the young Rousseau) at the beach?



Yeah, that´s possible. I suppose 16 years of isolation can put your brain upside down.

Ok, that´s it then. If not, it would be a total incoherence, even for Lost.

Haven't read what you wrote so far because i've only seen the first 2 episodes of the season so far, and will return to the topic once i catch up, but i have to say that - BASED ON THE FIRST 2 EPISODES OF S5, i am very disappointed, both music-wise and show-wise. WHERE THE HELL IS THE COOLNESS OF THE ISLAND? Giacchino is completely off this season it seems and i wouldn't blame him. When i put my favorite SEASON 3 LOST MUSIC in this morning, it came to me again, how cool LOST used to be, with all the creepy new discoveries in the island and the new mysteries that took on, once an old one was solved, along with the pathos and the tragic music of its music that shook our world through the speakers with its power.

In the first 2 episodes of season 5, everything is completely tossed; i don't need to explain it to you 'cause you're obviously ahead of me in terms of catching up and all, but needless to repeat i am heavily disappointed.

No, we didn't; i personally didn't anyway, i had no clue where they were going to take it from that point onwards and i certainly don't like what's going on here. S5E2 is probably the worst episode of LOST ever, with the crappy childish trash-tv-like Hugo dialogue with his family and the soap-opera-esque storyline. Not to mention that Sayid looks like a retarded kid with the new "i've been so tortured under Ben's service through the last 2 years and i've been through so much that i am evil now". All his coolness is lost; the same goes for many other characters now, and the show in general.

But even if some predicted where it'd head from now on, that doesn't excuse how bad it is.

I'd say that, yes. Sawyer came to mind as well and on a slightly lesser tone, but still, Locke; yes.

I still love LOST immensely, but maybe Battlestar Galactica will do the trick ...?

Ugh, 5.05 is the absolute worst Lost has ever been. Absolute trash. Crap story, crap acting, crap everything.*


*Average music.

Yeah.

I thought Rebecca Mader sucked anyway, since her first moment in Lost. I can't stand her, so cold, so graceless.

Really? Wow I found the episode pretty interesting, and you know I´m not the biggest fan of all the time travel stuff, but they are tying up a lot of things lately (another thing is if they make any sense).
And it can be fun discovering what did John do once he left the island, and obviously how did he die (in Ep 7, "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" maybe?)..

And another thing: Smokey is back! Oh, and special guest appearance by Cabin Christian. Now this guy/thing/whatever he/it is, is officially in my top priority of things I wanna know.

Crystal as water.

Aaaah! She died purely because of her own horrible acting skills, who wanted her to die as they couldn't stand any longer themselves (the skills that is).

lol, episode 13 is called "Some Like It Hoth". If that's not a Star Wars reference I don't know what is.

And episode 14 is "The Variable". The opposite to "The Constant"?

I totally dig it, and have since the first episode of this season! I think it's getting better and better.

Things will slow down now, I'm pretty sure. Not when it comes to answers (I heard the guy playing Abaddon say that we're in for a treat in the next episode, learning what his relationship is to it all), but as far as the pacing goes, I think the most hectic part is over.

The time flashes made everything seem extremely fast paced, but then again that was the point of it all - to tense things up. The L.A.-plotline - meh, it could've been better, and there WAS some redundant stuff there, but I definitely also think it could have been worse. The last episode was good on that point - I particularly liked Ben's line about having to take care of some business and him showing up, looking like somebody used him as a punching ball.

What I'm basically saying is that I'm every much a bit as 'on board' as I was last season. I don't regard season 5 as any bit worse than season 4, which presented its own challenges when it came to digesting where the show was going. I'm watching consistently good television, which for me pretty much beats everything else that's on right now.
