Stuff we'll get answered:

Mib's > smoke connection, etc
Adam & Eve
The locked room in the sub
Possibly why the island was underwater in the premiere

I didn't read the answers themselves just the questions that would be asnwered so I'm really excited we will see answers to question 2 and 4 and how they come up with explanations.
All these seemed pretty obvious that they were gonna get answered, IMO.

So considering who the episode after this one is focused on, you know who pretty much has to be in locked away in the sub, right?

Ya I mean I guess for him to be relevant to the plot, he has to be.

But what I can say is I really enjoy their episodes. Their on/off island narratives tend to connect & parallel in really intersting ways. Like Ji Yeon where you had the flashforward/flashback/on-island stories all coming together brilliantly or This Place is Death where the writers managed to tell a really cool love story through space & time. And Found & DOC are two other amazingly put together episodes.

So yeah, I'm excited for their ep next week. Crazy to think they've been apart since season 4.

I agree, I've always enjoyed their episodes a great deal. I've enjoyed the way their relationship has continued to evolve even though they're apart. I almost wish we could take extra time just focusing on what happens when/if they find each other... because I don't think it'll really be all roses and happiness.
 
Sun is interesting off-island... so I wonder if she will be as interesting in the alternate timeline.

Next's week episode could be simply
___sDesmonds
in the alternate timeline and the other characters in the island, but it wouldn't make much sense... But if
he's actually in the sub, then I guess we will see it (as the cliff hanger) in the last minute of this week's episode since it would be too weird having it him pop out at the beginning of
EP. 11, now, reading the EP's title it may simply mean (here's where my money is)
we will see him living off island AND in the alternate timeline
which is FAR more interesting, because instead of seeing a island/alternate timeline parallelism we will see a
normal world/alternate
timeline parallelism which will probably give us a lot of hints as to what is the nature of the alternate timeline/universe. So I hope it's option 2...

Also I forgot to say, something else that will be answered (which REALLY deserves an answer given how fucking weird that was), this was said by Carlton and Cuse:

The 2*birds yelling Hurley's name.

Very wtf moments that will get an answer, and after watching Ab Aeterno my theory is
that it's jacob. remember the boar?
.

Also, there's something semi spoilery that Mattew fox said, but you could interpret it in different ways:

The two timelines will "solidified into one", no more sideflashes, flashbacks etc. Around third way into the season (I'm assuming this will happen in EP. 14 because of EP. 15's centricity)

well not really...yet
I swear to god if they actually take their time to explain the fucking
Hurley Bird
and they end up explaining nothing else about
the cabin
, which imo is the most glaring question mark in the entire show, I will lose my shit :lol

It'll take, like, 30 seconds to explain or show the Hurley bird, perhaps even tangentially.

Explaining the cabin is going to require a decent chunk of time, including some visual aids like flow charts.


Also, I don't think there should be any doubt that Desmond is on Widmore's sub. It is literally his last chance to get incorporated into the on-island endgame, and he sure can't play important enough of a role in the X Land B-plots to deserve full cast member status.
 
I assume Desmond is there because how else could Widmore get to the island? He's tried and failed before, probably many times. The island isn't done with Desmond though!

I just assumed Widmore found the Island because he knew, from meeting the Losties in 77, that 815 passengers would leave and return to the Island a second time(which is why he had been watching the O6 since they got back). Wouldn't take much for a man of his resources to track Ajira once he realized it was their flight...

But your theory works too, hadn't thought of that.

Or it could just be that Hawking gave him the goods--maybe a combination of all three.

It's also how the freighter got to the island, too, bringing back Miles, Daniel, and Charlotte.

How long has it been since 815 crashed? Enough time to get their in a sub?


Do you mean since the Ajira flight? If that, it's "possibly" only been a few days, barring some time displacement that we don't know about. That flight was supposed to be sometime around January 07...or 08, not sure.

The original plane (815) was 04, so it's been at least 3+ years since then.

Thought if Widmore was aware of that, you'd assume he would have got on the freighter himself...

Bah, yeah. 316. I mean if Widmore was somehow tracking that plane would there have been enough time for him to have got there yet, assuming it's only been a few days in Lost time.

It's so weird how time has been compressed over the last 3 and a half seasons. That mindfuck (I think in the other thread) that the Jack bridge-jumping scene in season 3 only happened a couple weeks ago for him really got me. :lol
 
I still find it weird that the sources ratings rated
Desmond's episode
the second lowest of the season after Kate's episode. I know people can say it doesn't matter and that they haven't seen the final episode, but no matter how you look at it it is very odd. I don't understand how a
Desmond episode
could possibly disappoint that much, and no, that isn't me saying that it will disappoint (even though the source ratings continue to be spot on) but that I simply find it the most odd rating.

I find it kind of confusing as well. It could be a twist that people don't like, a lack of plot progress, or characters acting stupid and unreasonable.

**PURE SPECULATION, I HAVE NO SPOILERS**

Well, I certainly would rate it extremely low if it was
Desmond's death
. The contradiction in the title could possibly be explained that it is referring to the flash sideways. Especially considering the wedding ring on his finger.

I would assume it's due to the lack of answers. the low rated eps this season have the least mythology in them.

TheGreatDave said:
Well, Dr. Linus did pretty well.
That had some mythology bits tucked away, like Jacob's thoughts on Ben, Illana's role, x universe Linus family on the island, miles robbing nikki & paulo.


Not to mention, Ben's speech at the end gets 10/10 from any sane person regardless of the rest of the episode.
 
Given
Desmond's___
role in LA X, I don't see how
his
episode couldn't provide some form of answer, unless they're saving that for the finale. Regardless, a strong character driven episode still shouldn't get that low ratings. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see.

That is the most moving speech I've seen on the show. I hope Emerson get an emmy nomination for that.

Who wrote it? Might be a clue as to what the deal is. Could just be a modest, Sawyer-type episode that sets up a bigger role down the line, rather than a big emotional one.

I'm not sure who wrote it, can't seem to find that info. Jack Bender is directing. And the guest cast list features (careful, don't read and regret)
Dominic Monaghan
.

I wouldn't be so sure that Jack Bender is directing. The numbering fiasco for this season (counting LA X as one or two episodes) has completely screwed up various sites' writing/directing lists.

Hmm, well DarkUFO have Jack Bender as directing and they're usually pretty accurate. But yeah, without the press release we can't be sure.
 
Well maybe it's because like I said,
heee
's simply living a
peaceful life off island and the episode itself isn't too exciting
, the low rating is weird... hmm I guess we will see.

Also I can't wait to see (from the preview)
Sayid's "I can't feel anything"
(from the preview) next week... seriously creepy. And I say next week because I won't be watching this week's episode sadly, so I'll watch the 2 together next week.

Why not watch online or through another source tomorrow?
Plus, the Enhanced episodes often spoil stuff from later in the episode.

Are we allowed to talk about casting call spoilers in this thread?

Preferably not. That's Dark UFO-level stuff. After an episode has aired you can discuss the casting issues, though.

I'd also prefer it if character centricities for WTDF and the finale don't get placed in here. That's about the only thing that would genuinely scare me out of the thread.

Fair enough I see you point, there pretty much always really minor though, but best not to risk it

I'm pretty sure neither episode will focus on one person in particular.

Also, I refuse to believe this 11th episode can fail in anyway, short of the character randomly dying in some capacity, Faraday-style. IT CAN'T FAIL. Fuck the ratings and fuck you people too!
Haha, don't get me wrong I'm not expecting disappointment at all which is why I find the rating so odd. As usual, my expectations will be as high as ever for a
Desmond episode!

I've read some casting call stuff that I thought would be minor but actually spoiled me MAJOR stuff about MiB n' Jacob, so yeah I'd rather not have stuff like that here.
