LOST (Spoilers!)

s06e05

I find it a really slow episode. I expecte more from an episode written by Damon and Carlon, and directed by Bender.

I was good. not bad for sure...not great either.

[spoiler]the Good:
-Jack's alternative ( or not?) reality was had
-The lighouse scene (jacob's theme included) , I want to see more things like this in this show!!!!
-Giacchino's music when jack's son plays the piano. a touching scene.

By the way, watch the "mirror reflection" when jack arrives to his father's house I love this guys!

The Bad:
- Claire subplot. Emile deRavin is so beaituful as awful actress. Jin character was specially stupid.
-they returned to the "create suspense". We don't need more suspense...we need people talking widely.[/spoiler]

Does anyone else think the music is almost becoming a cliche of itself? It sounds like Lost music because it's meant to be Lost music. I think what made it original died somewhere in season 5. Jacob's theme is still fantastic, but what captivated me about the first four seasons music seems to be lost.





That the reflection from the car windscreen in the sun.

Lighthouse = New Jack theme

Season 4 = perfect blend of old material being used in new interesting new ways and three bloody amazing new themes - the freighter. Locke's mystery theme and the best of them all in Lost, the O6 theme. More please.

Oh God! it was fast!!!! A great action packed episode ( 24 filmakers can learn to how directed and edit the acton stuff from here !!! )

The last 5 minutes are apocalyptic as hell (hehe), it could have been a season finale episode for sure!!!

it's ironic, the climax of this episode was far, far better than the climax in "the Incident", wich was particulary bad.

..so it wasn't a Sun episode. I wonder if the name was part of the ploy as it finally broke the season 1 centric rule.

I enjoyed it apart from the ending which got too schizophrenic and difficult to keep up with.

The best bit was seeing Keamy and Omar again.

And the fight between Sayid and Dogen was expertly choreographed.

But now we have more teams than ever.

- Kate, Sayid (and we assume Sawyer wherever he is) are with Smocke
- Miles, Frank, Sun, Ilana and Ben are together
- Hurley and Jack are together
- No idea of the status of Jin or Richard
- No idea of the Others at the statue
- No idea on the Ajira folks on Hydra island

Right?

Indeed. A great fight.


Add Claire (or whatever she is now) to the first group. I don´t understand why Kate has joined Smocke´s group though.

I may be wrong, but I think this is the first time they've used slow motion in a sequence in Lost (at least a long shot).

Ok, I was wrong

Glad we are done with the temple. It was a nice set, but it didn't feel like the story was progressing with the characters in one place for six episodes.

Happy he's dead. And Lenon. Didn't hate them, just didn't care. More Smocke please.

I thought that was by far the most excellent episode of the season. Wonderful character development on Ben, and interesting development for Jack and Richard. The guy who plays Ben really nailed the emotional parts of this episode. I thought that scene with Illana (Allana?) in the woods was really gripping. I also LOVED what happened in the alternate reality this episode. It was so perfect, from Ben's description of Napoleon's downfall to his coup of the school administration. It was such a great episode, I thought. Did a lot happen to progress the story? Not so much, no. But the character development in this episode was up there with the best of Lost, IMO. I liked the theme at the end, as well as the [spoiler]the reappearance of Widmore [/spoiler] as I had been wondering what happened to him.

Here's a question. When Widmore told Locke that if he didn't get back to the island that the wrong side would win (back in season 5, was it?), which side do you think Widmore thinks is right? I wonder if he thought Locke needed to go back so that the man in black would win, or if it was his intention to keep Locke alive (which he did try to do) so that the man in black would not have a body to use so that Jacob would win. I think Widmore is on "team Jacob" (to borrow a phrase).

I really didn't like that episode. The alt stuff was boring and could have been much less complex. I can't stand Ilana and wish she would drop dead.

The stuff with Jack, Hurley and Richard should have been pushed into another episode that features them more rather than just being a small side plot.

As Jordi said, the Oceanic Six theme felt forced. The bit on the piano was fine but the sudden introduction of the strings was pretty bad.

And the final scene....my God, that's got to be one of the worst cliffhangers ever on the show.

(Btw, the credits at the beginning listed William Mapother (Ethan) as a guest star, but he wasn't in it as far as I can tell?)

I´m with Bregt here. One of the best episodes of the season. I liked the stuff of the alternate reality, without any doubt the most interesting material we´ve seen. Let´s be honest, so far the episodes focused on Claire, Kate or Jack were boring.


I agree. Although Jordi told me episode seven (or eight) is focused on Richard. Maybe episode six has been like a teaser of what we´ll get?


Yes, terrible sequence, only comparable to the opening sequence of the season. I asked then if they are running out of budget. I insist.

Ah ok. I guess I was trying to avoid looking at the credits. I couldn't avoid seeing Alan Dale though.



Well I hope there's one soon. I did like the exchange between Richard and Jack when they met in the jungle.

"Where did you come from?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Try me."

"...not yet."

I love it when the writers know what we want and take a dig at us like that. Sometimes it's not even a dig but just clever wording.
