I should also point out that piece is really fantastic. Kind of an overview made up of a lot of different charts and sidebars. There's a great talk between the Polar Boro and physicist Sean Carroll.

I found it in Borders, but they also had the last issue out. I think they must have just gotten it in like today.

Lucky me.

Hmm, I'll stop by a store on my way home, check it out. With the way we get anything here in Michigan though, it may or may not get here for another 6 weeks, but who knows. It's always a roll of the dice.

"The Last Recruit"
"[ ]OUNDELAY"
Most likely "Roundelay," an episode focusing on everyone, bovs.

614
"The Candidate"
Jack/Locke

615
"Across The Sea"

This string of 6 final hours will melt my face off.

Edit: so I hadn't really thought about it, but HIC being treated the way he is is a result of his being I'm the press for the wrong reasons, correct? That's probably good then. Abc saw they couldn't just remove him; he was too integral. But they had to do something.

well not really...yet
lol...

So I got spoilered on something...

I'm not even mad. I have no one to blame but myself :(

On one hand I wish I wasn't spoiled at all, on the other, at the very least I'm glad it wasn't something about the Finale

Any point in telling us this but to tempt us into asking you what it was?

Was it atleast a spoiler you were happy to see happen in the show?

I, too, picked up the new issue of Wired. Some bits about Giacchino, Gregg Nations, the show's continuity guy, and an interview with Darlton. Here's one bit from Carlton about the way people could react to the resolution of the two timelines that I found interesting:

"We don't know whether the resolution between the two timelines is going to make people say, "Oh, that's cool" or "Oh, fuck those guys, they belly-flopped at the end." But the fact that we're nervous about it and that we're actually attempting it- that is what we had to do."

Hm, makes it seem like the resolution could be partially inconsequential to the larger end game of the series. Like, the X timeline is the arc for this season, but not the key to the end of the series. Which gives hope to a lack of "total conversion" or "reset", but will probably give credit to the "filler!!" crowd.

I'd be okay with that, kind of. I want it to play a part in the end, but I'd be alright with it not being the thing that makes the ending. I don't see it as being filler like some of the haters do, though.

What I get from that quote is, the X people will probably end up killing them selves to convert to the island timeline, or things will course correct to the point where the timeliens are very similar regardless, and these lfash sideways were a glimpse at another existence (of many) where the Losties never crashed, but were still manipulated into similar circusmstances by the literal hands of fate. The island story is still the main story and the x universe has it's own conclusion, it seems.

What happened to "both timelines are as important as the other!"?
Click to expand...
I don't think they said that, I think they said they're both equally valid/real. I think the implication was at the start of the season by fans that this shit doesn't matter, it's not directly relating to the on island material, that's pretty obviously not the case anymore.

Darlton said by the end of LA X the audience would have enough information to put the mystery all together, I think the only thing that episode really gave us that we didn't already know (most fans knew the sideways were coming) was the hint that the losties have some sort of knowledge of the original timeline, with Jack checking his neck etc.

Just watched the sneak peak - I dont see why any of you would think I would hate the scene. It was great, for two reasons. First, Im loving seeing Jack soiling himself in the presence of MIB, and second, the more MIB runs down Locke, the more I believe Locke will play a big hand in his downfall.

Shit, add a third: its the first Jack/"Locke" scene all season. Hell, its only the second in the past 2 years.

Yeah but Desmond says brother because he was a priest. In the X world, I'm guessing he wasn't.

I see no reason to think his time at the monastery didn't happen. Unless I'm missing something.

There isn't really, except that it'd be quite odd with the corporate Desmond we see in the X world.

I'm fairly certain this "final cast photo" was taken the same time as the original ones they released at the start of the season.

Either that or ABC just sucks. I mean they still list Desmond as a guest star in the press releases.

Either way, he should be on it.

Oh, and WOW. That clip was awesome. It definitely confirms
Walt wasn't Smokey

Not really.
he could be lying, there could be reasons why he could do it for Walt and not Locke, for example Locke being alive, meaning there would be two Lockes which would spoil the illusion he was attempting

I think it has been said already that Smokey only takes the appearances of dead people.

I got my hint from him, but I couldn't really discern much of anything from it. Basically just said Desmond made two attempts at course correction in this episode.

Shiet. I always thought of Locke as the Roslin of the group.

Also why was Kate kinda nerfed from the whole thing? Why isn't she a candidate? I know she's boring as dogshit, but she's an original cast member, and was pretty important in the first few seasons.

I was rewatching BSG recently and I don't think the kid was ever really that important. They hinted at it during her birth and those dumb dreams, but later on I think they stopped giving a shit about the baby.

Also I thought it was shoe-horned but I've just noticed all these hints at the series finale. So much talk of "God's plan" and "angel" and shit like that....I'm not angry anymore :D

I especially liked how they retcon'd their way out of having two half human half cylon babies.

I guess the kid was important because it led them in to a final confrontation, but...it could have just been a dog they were chasing for all it mattered. In fact that would be BETTER.

FUCK, VINCENT IS THE CYLON BABY.

I was pretty ecstatic when they killed Cally off. And no that's not a spoiler, that's a scene that you will all be wishing for when/if you watch the series.

I spoiler tagged it anyways.
