Ri...I don't know why this just occurred to me.<br /><br />Richard told Mock Locke, "I'm this way because of Jacob," referring to his immortality.<br /><br />So, when Ben kills Jacob, is Richard outside on the beach experiencing some kind of horror-movie death via rapid aging?<br /><br />It might explain why he's pictured with all the dead characters in the LOST insert in EW this week.<br /><br />PS: This is Studiorose; for some reason OpenID isn't working today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-51042769655899372982010-01-23T03:33:53.399-05:002010-01-23T03:33:53.399-05:00EvaHart sez: "Did anyone else think that Juli...EvaHart sez: "Did anyone else think that Juliet's flashback was odd and set her apart from all the others? I know it showed why she changed her mind and her decison with Sawyer, but to me it seemed out of place and highlighted the fact Jacob was not present in her life."<br /><br />I thought that divorce flashback was a bit awkward as well. I think it occurred to the writers that practically no one (save Sayid and Jack) would benefit from a "do-over," so they had to come up with ways the other Losties would be on board with the idea. Juliet's reason, while flimsy at best, was enough to ensure that Sawyer would also go along with the plan (he must have turned his brain off in order to accept a do-over, considering all he has to lose). I still don't know why Kate went along with it, unless she was thinking, selflessly, that it would benefit Claire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-88393686556930589732010-01-22T18:36:22.576-05:002010-01-22T18:36:22.576-05:00Lost is well known for it's jaw dropping, irri...Lost is well known for it's jaw dropping, irritatingly amazing cliff hangers but this one topped them all. And the fade to white instead of black? A perfect touch.<br /><br />So the big question of whether time has been reset. I'm still unsure, but surely if time is reset Locke won't have been killed, and therefore Jacob cannot be dead, it seems stupid to undo such a massive event. OTOH Jack and the others realising that they can't go back would also be weird. I think that there will be a split/parallel timeline kind of thing that would show what would happen in either scenario...or something like that. I'm sure the writers know what they are doing!<br /><br />I always thought that Richard's disbelief in Locke's 'resurecction' is a bit other the top. As Not Locke says is it any stranger than an immortal man? A smoke monster? Time travel, a person that can speak to the dead and miraculous healings? Has Richrd been on the same island??!!<br /><br />I loved that Sun found the Driveshaft ring, way back in season 3, I was shouting at the screen when Claire missed it. I really hope it finds its way back into either Claire or Aaron's possesion.<br /><br />Did anyone else think that Juliet's flashback was odd and set her apart from all the others? I know it showed why she changed her mind and her decison with Sawyer, but to me it seemed out of place and highlighted the fact Jacob was not present in her life. Although it is possible he met her at another time in her life.<br /><br />It's been great doing this rewatch with everyone, I can't wait for all our many (and there will be many) discussions on season 6!EvaHartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-12952706230707423362010-01-22T18:10:40.653-05:002010-01-22T18:10:40.653-05:00There have only been three shows before LOST that ...There have only been three shows before LOST that have really grabbed my attention, that I felt like I would literally die if I didn't see, but nothing that has consumed me to this extent. And never until this past July would it have ever dawned on me to delve deeper into a show than 'watercooler' talk. Reading a blog ( a what?) about a tv show, much less making a comment, was just crazy talk. But all you eloquent, much-smarter-than-me, beautiful people here on Nikki's Rewatch blog have opened my eyes to an unknown realm of awesomeness and for that I thank you.<br /><br />When I first saw this ep and MIB said the name 'Jacob' I thought 'finally, the mystery of Jacob will be cleared up.' Boy was I way off!<br /><br />@Susan - I've never wanted to admit that I'm just not that ooey gooey over Rose and Bernard. Yeah, they have a sweet backstory and they're happy just being in love & I'm happy for them but like you I hope this is the end of their story. Of course they had to reappear at some time since we didn't see them get a flaming arrow to the chest and it was nice that the writers gave them a happy albeit corny 'ending'. How did they know it was 1977 and where were they scavenging food from? They couldn't have entered Dharmaville without being electrocuted or at least seen on surveillance, no?<br /><br />When Sayid was handling the core of the bomb he had on gloves then he didn't! (If that's already pointed out, oops!)<br /><br />I noticed several promises being made - Kate promises Jacob not to steal anymore, Sawyer promises his uncle not to finish the letter, Jin and Sun make promises with rings, Sayid promises to take Nadia home, John promises Ben things will be different when Jacob is gone.<br /><br />Verification word - perat - what my six-year-old nephew wrote that he saw at the beach, for real - perats, dawfins and waals.tiasabitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-67398265358798267482010-01-22T16:50:14.601-05:002010-01-22T16:50:14.601-05:00As a die-hard Lost fan, I've been following an...As a die-hard Lost fan, I've been following and enjoying this blog for two years and occasionally post a comment, and hopefully will post more during Season 6. <br /><br />Nikki and others have mentioned the seeming continuity misfires and other errors concerning night turning into day, and vice versa, passage of too much or too little time between scenes or events, difference in clothes being worn from one scene to another, etc. <br />The frequency of these inconsistencies has convinced me that they are not mistakes, as they seem to be, but reflect a constant changing of time and place that the Island undergoes<br />as the story unfolds.

I've always thought she was an off-Island person recruited by Jacob for a specific purpose, that being going to the Island to present corpse-Locke to 'Ricardus', and check on the status of whoever was supposed to be in the cabin. Of course, season 6 will most undoubtedly prove me wrong, but that's just what I've thought this whole time.Batcabbagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609077644806458692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-80709230585330774202010-01-22T09:30:11.628-05:002010-01-22T09:30:11.628-05:00Don't forget Jacob needs extra wool to pull ov...Don't forget Jacob needs extra wool to pull over our eyes.paleoblueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098848867397221344noreply@blogger.com
