Episode 14 Press Release is out


Desmond getting shafted in the PR credits once again

Why the hell don't they even put Desmond on the guest star list? He was in the last episode and he wasn't on the cast list nor the guest star list. ABC are morons.

 

[Lafiel]

Maybe desmond isn't in the next episode?

OMG The Candidate is

totally a Locke episode I mean, looking at that cast list - Anothony Cooper and Bernard (since Rose has already been in Locke's sideflash)

Jack/Locke

in the Wired article?

All the other names in the article are correct, including ep 15. I don't see why they'd make 14 false.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

It's a Jack/Locke episode. Which seems fitting to me, since the former Candidate, Locke, is gonna be handing the BOSS keys to the BOSS mobile over to Jack.

 

[Solo]

I know what the wored article says. Just making my own assumptions based off a cast-list that seems not to feature anyone Jack-related.

Unlike Locke, Jack can hold shit down on his own.

He wasn't listed for The Last Recruit either.

Or maybe Desmond is DEAD.

The only thing he can hold down is his liquor, and he gets that from Christian

I made my 15/3 designation with knowledge of who the remaining eps are about. After 15, nothing can be the same anymore.

I think shit is going to start getting real next episode, actually. Episode 15 might be the most epic...ever, but rumors are

Spoiler

it features none of the main cast as it chronicles the rise of the Man in Black

. If that's true, and we have no reason to believe it isn't, I'm predicting a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge twist or occurrence half way through The Candidate and fallout for the rest of the episode.

 

[Solo]

Oh yeah, for sure. I think these final 5 eps are going to analogous to S3's final 5 eps. Which is to say, mindblowingly awesome.

btw does Episode 16 have a centric character? Or should we assume it's everyone?

Whatever the justification, theres no excuse for an episode as bad 'The Last Recruit' this late into the final season

It was a really bad episode. After 'Happily Ever After' and 'Everybody Loves Hugo' picked up the pace a bit, I was thinking we were finally out of the doldrums - but I guess not quite yet.

 

[brandonh83]

I thought Hugo was the worst episode this season and didn't pick anything up at all, especially after Happily Ever After. This episode put several major pieces into place and kicked off the endgame as far as I'm concerned.

[Yaweee]

Guys, it isn't about Zoe. There was an interview with the actress, and the interviewer was a complete dumbass that misinterpreted what she said.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

So, Chipopo, does your endgame theory still work?

 

[brandonh83]

What? That would suck.

I don't think so.

Spoiler

I mean, like her or hate her, she is a new addition, and I think an episode that goes into her a bit more is more beneficial than anything. At any rate, I don't see an entire episode devoted to just her happening, so even if it is Zoe-centric, I'm sure there'll be a lot more going on. I would like more intel about her, so I'm all about it.

 

[Chipopo]

So, Chipopo, does your endgame theory still work?

It's um. Still tentatively viable.

You make no sense.

The Last Recruit was two or three groups of people moving from Point A to Point B... and thats about it for plot.

Nope. On the island Locke's camp moved to a beach while the Candidates moved to a boat. In the X timeline Sun, Jin, Locke, Ben and Jack moved to a hospital. That is literally all that happened. Without the Jack/Sawyer conversation and the Kwon reunion it probably would have been the worst episode of the entire series - and it came at a time when they should be actually moving the plot forward instead of just moving the characters around.

You have to move the characters around to move the plot forward.

And the Jack/Sawyer, Desmond/Sayid, and Jack/MIB conversations established the central conflicts for the final stretch of episodes.

And worst episode of Lost? That's some crazy hyperbole. Rewatch Fire+Water.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

I hope the Candidate is highly rated because of a massive story revelation/twist rather than something like a major death. A great episode is still a great episode regardless, but now would be the perfect time to blow our minds with mythology to build us up for the finale. I remember Terry O'Quinn talking about a 4 page section of script seeped in mythology and revelation. I think this was before the finale script had been written and maybe even before Across The Sea. I think the timing fits for Lindelofs quote along the lines of, "We just wrote something and looked at each other thinking, 'Wow, I can't believe we're finally writing this'".

Well, it is a locke/Jack episode, so Locke will probably die again.

Just, to me it's like you're making significant moves sound insignificant. You can think that if you want, but I disagree, is all. At any rate I thought it was a far more important, plot-progressive episode than Hugo was. The groups really seemed to play their cards, Kate brought Claire over from the dark side, Sayid lied to Smokey about Desmond and let him go (you know this is what happened), Sun and Jin got back together, Widmore played a big card by directly attacking Team Smokey and blowing Jack up, and at the end Smokey thinks he's claimed Jack. Not to mention Sun X seemingly, subconsciously recognizing Locke X as Smokey, Desmond getting Claire and Jack to meet up, and a few other things.

Definitely a bit better than what we got in the last one, IMO.

Geography is always insignificant. How significant Sayid not shooting Desmond or Kate forcing the people on the boat to allow a psychopath aboard is - will have to wait to be seen.

I feel like the writers on Lost the past couple seasons are obsessed with moving characters around geographically for no reason other than to split things up into two groups - so that storytelling will be easier. It's clunky and a horribly delivery system for the exposition they should be giving.
