I didn't know that someone posted a new "Pics That Make You Laugh For Apparent Reasons" thread.
Oh wait. It's just the LOST thread. Damn.

I know, right?! The wait is already maddening!Domino Theory said:The official sneak peek for next week's episode...
OMFG.
I Push Fat Kids said:Oh trust me... I've tried to like this season. I'm usually 3 drinks deep and borderline jubilant by the time the opening logo does its thing. I also make sure to sober up for a second viewing which usually makes it even more disappointing.
PS it's good to critique things that are shitty (like picking Adam Morrison)
Coolio McAwesome said:* The mysterious kid that showed up on the Island in the most recent episode was not the same kid that we've seen in the past. It was obviously the same actor, but his hair color was clearly different. (His hair is blond in this clip, but his hair was a completely different color in the last episode.) We've now seen at least two different kids now that have the same face and the same basic personality. If you haven't figured it out yet, these kids are essentially the Oompa Loompas. I expect them to start singing by next episode.
Nameless said:For the record, this isn't directed at anyone in particular, but it perplexes me to no end why people go out of their way not to enjoy something. Much less something they claim to be a fan off. To 'waste' their time merely to have something to complain about. Why? There literally has never been a show on TV where one couldn't over scrutinize to the point of negativity. Not one. Jesus Jacob Christ, being in a constant state of malcontent can't at all be pleasant, can it? If you feel LOST sucks, as someone said earlier, stop watching. You'll never find a simpler solution to anything. The "I invested 5 years" argument is bullshit..Why torture yourself? What does that say about your life that you rather spend it negatively than.. not? The most logical course of action would be to stop watching now, and if you must, finish off the series in a chunk once it's concludes instead of miserably trudging through the rest of it(that's what I'm going to do with the last 7 or so episodes of Heroes at some point).
Not saying LOST threads have to be a giant circle jerk but there's a difference between smart criticism and incessant bitching. There's a difference between pointing out plot holes and shitting on the story by jumping to conclusions about what you can't possibly know when there's still six hours left in the narrative. And just because the writers didn't take the series in the direction of some lame-ass theories you spent far too much time coming up with doesn't mean the season is lame or poorly done. Some of the shit, some of the stupid ass fuckin drivel posted in this thread(s) has just wrong & ill-informed, if not pulled directly from someone's ass and slapped on the keyboard. FUCK.
Only 6 hours left. At least try to enjoy it. Do it for me. And if you you think I'm an asshole do it for yourself. You might fine that the sun's a little brighter in the morning.

SpeedingUptoStop said:They probably all have contributed their own ideas to the mythology and where eps should go, but Darlton are usually the final say. We probably give them more credit than they deserve a lot of the time, just because it's easier to sum it up to two guys doing the whole thing.

Solo said:They basically covered this in that BAFTA video someone posted in last week's thread. The episode writers come up with a "draft", then Cuse and Lindelof mark everything up, make changes, converse some more, make more changes, and then that becomes the first real draft. Sounds like for non-Lindelof episodes, what the credited writers actually wrote could have been changed wholesale by the time it airs.

Drealmcc0y said:4 of the spoiler sources have rated the finale. Although they havent seen the whole script, just most of it.
Solo said:Yeah, dont you hate it when a show that is going out of its way to evoke its first season in its last drops in a playful reference?
Radogol said:So, ITT, I'm seeing references to ascene and many hints that Solo will be a sad man come next week. Guys, I'm just a lowly junior, but please spoiler tag the preview info.hospital
greepoman said:There is noscene in the preview.hospital
Solo said:Don't worry, ducky. I am taking note of everyone who does not believe. When the day of reckoning comes and the BOSS returns, they will all be Artz'd. Except for TheGreatDave, who will be Caesar'd.
TheGreatDave said:I don't want him doing thangs because he's dead.
brandonh83 said:Yeah. When characters die on Lost, you never see them again.
brandonh83 said:I'm not sure why people are having such a hard problem seeing this. It's a classic part of storytelling. IMO the show has been BUILDING UP something for Locke to do, in the end. Hell. People think we're crazy for thinking this, but I think they're crazy for not seeing the obvious. You don't spend six seasons of a story that for a large part dwells on one character who puts so much stake in something, only to have him die a very anti-climactic death and just be done with. Storytelling doesn't work that way and I'm not sure why so many seem as opposed to it as they are. If they don't redeem Locke in some capacity, Lost will be the biggest letdown in history for me, personally. I'm not saying he will come back to life. I'm saying that somehow, something concerning his character, something important and awesome will happen that needs to happen in order for the story to come to a close.
But again, what boggles my mind the most is how people are so against it. Who wouldn't want Locke to do something fucking amazing after all the shit he's been through? That's like the whole point of his character and an overall moral of Lost: if you believe in something, you keep at it no matter what. That's what Locke did and because of it he will see some redemption. And if you ask me? That clip for the next episode only makes it EVEN MORE evident than it already was.
"Because he was stupid enough to believe that he was brought here for a reason."
Biggest red herring of all time? Possibly so.
Radogol said:Not even in the sneak peek? If so, I apologize.
duckroll said:Meanwhile in a stroke of irony, Locke's likeness is now taken by the main antagonist, who stands against everything the island is, and serves only to dispel all hope and belief anyone has in the island because he wants to destroy it and escape. In his eyes, Locke was just a part of his own plan, and he failed in his role as a candidate.
duckroll said:Ultimately, Locke could well have died that pathetic and worthless death and never return to life or have any other major action again. But instead of being a failure, he could simply have been the very reason Jack decides to do what he ultimately does - oppose NotLocke.
InaudibleWhispa said:I wonder if when Desmond meets Penny for coffee a certain Miss Burke will be there.
Hmm, probably not. But I've no doubt we'll see the Juliet scene at some point. I wonder how it's going to tie in.Solo said:Desmond already met Penny for coffee. They were meeting an hour after they met in the stadium. Before the events of this last episode. In other words, we're not going to see that scene.
