**** Official "LOST" Final Season Discussion Thread ****

[Brian Boitano]

you have no idea what you are talking about.

they been finished writing the scripts for all the episodes. they took this picture at the beginning of production of this season. of course that shit is relevant. nothing is incidental with the shit they put out.

the pict is patterned after The Last Supper. Sayid is in the same position as Judas. you think that's coincident?

I know what the pic was referencing. The promo is old. And calling this more than a cute way to get all the cast members into one pic is an...

Over-analyzation.

 

[shootdagift]

Any input on this?

Like others have said, I think it's just a promo pic to generate speculation and interest.

Over-analyzation.

the entire series is filled with metaphor, analogies, cultural references, allegory and symbolism. shit, that's part of the reason why the show is so popular.

religious reference is weaved throughout the series so why would something like this be just a cute way to get everyone together.

The Lost Supper

The cast picture for season 6 is a recreation of The Last Supper, a 15th century painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The Last Supper was the last meal Jesus shared with his twelve Apostles and before his death. Accoring to what Paul the Apostle recounted in 1 Corinthians 11:23–26, with specific reference to eating bread and drinking from a cup, Jesus told his disciples "Do this in remembrance of me".

• In the cast picture there are 14 people, instead of 13. Locke takes the place of Jesus, Jack the place of 'doubting' Thomas, Sayid the place of Judas Iscariot, and Kate the place of John (or Mary Magdeline).
• In the first some of the characters appear to be looking into each other in pairs.
• Locke (or Flocke) always stares forward.
• In the second version of the photo, Claire and Miles switch sides, Hurley moves to the left, Sun and Ben switch with each other.

 

[Brian Boitano]

Exactly. A cool way to get the cast members together for promotion. Nothing more.

But didn't Jack have scratches on his neck when he was on the airplane, indicating that what happened/happenining on the island is still transferring over to the sideways reality?

And he also didn't remember having had surgery on his appendix.

jacks scars and his appendix being removed, although they may have happened on the island, when they get home, they will not remember these things. it will be as if they didnt happen. so they have to find a way to explain these thing, thus by making it seem like the scars are from the past. possibly, jack will end up fighting someone one and they may give him the gash on his neck. but once its all over, he wont remember where it came from.

 

[TimRock]

i keep reading in forums that Flocke is responsible for bringing sayid back. How is this even possible, if flocke and sayid never crossed paths until they met in the jungle. You mean to tell me that Flocke now has the power to bring back dead people, no matter where he is?

And how could he bring Sayid back if he could not get inside the temple

 

[TimRock]

And how could he bring Sayid back if he could not get inside the temple

thats exactly what i said. now if it does turn out that he brought sayid back to like, there better be a pretty good explanation for it. cause im not buying that.

He couldn't have brought Sayid back to life. Richar said he had never seen the island bring a person back from the dead. They said the same thing happened to Claire, so did Claire die too?

 

[TimRock]

claire was in the house that got hit with a rocketlauncher. i assumed she was dead, because of the way myles looked at her right after. i watched each season twice, first time around, i didnt notice this. if you own them, check out the part where keemie and his men come to the island and kill alex.

*If claire did die in the house bombing...she was holding the baby!

Question: Have y'all ever thought about what would happen if she (Ialana) poured some of the dust from Jacob's death into the water at the Temple what would happen?

nah never thought about it. but i thought there must have been some reason why she took it. maybe we will find out next week, or not. i still want to know how she ended up in the hospital.

Yeah I know what episode you're talking about, I guess I wasn't clear with what I was saying...If the island can't bring people back to life,then Claire couldn't have been killed in the blast.

 

[DTaylor]

Yeah how she ended up in the hospital? How Jin ended up in Sayid's brothers Restaurant Freezer? This show is supposed to be ending with more questions than than Jeopardy.

 

[MonkeyBizness]

You're over analyzing. Thats just where he decided to sit after they took a break for lunch more than likely.


@ Niggas trying to analyze a promo pic now. That shit came out last season, probably before this seasons script was even written.

I know what the pic was referencing. The promo is old. And calling this more than a cute way to get all the cast members into one pic is an...

Over-analyzation.

this ninja here. take a look at the quote from Carlton Cuse's interview with USA Today dated 10/27/09 re: the Last Supper promo pict.

There's been so much analysis of the this year's promotional poster. Do you have a big part in creating that?
Yeah. Everything in the design of that poster is intentional. We oversaw it -- now we know the audience looks at that stuff so closely, so we don't want there to be anything that we don't approve, especially at this point in the game.


Why is neither Walt nor Vincent in the Season 6 promo picture? -- Holly
Well, I'm not going to explain why anything is what it is, other than that everything is by design. You'll just have to watch the final season and decide for yourself. It's a little bit like, "Why is Paul McCartney holding a cigarette with his right hand when he's a lefty on the Abbey Road cover?"

Whelp, goodbye Ben Linus. At least he kept it 100. So much so he let his stolen daughter get merced for the island...And whats fucked up is that I liked that grimy mufucka more than Jack.

God I want that Jack nigga to die....And maybe that Kate bitch too.

 

[whackjobgrim]

Maybe if we lucky Ben will answer a question before he gets merced out. But more than likely we won't be getting any answers until Richard's episode. Two more to go.

you think bens gonna die this episode? i dont think so. you cant kill a character like that. I think kate is gonna die though. And i think we will get some answers tonight as well. It shouldnt be a dissapointing episode.

 

[Timdawg187]

tonight is all about Ben right? Guess I'll watch the previous episode they usually show before the new one...

 

[whackjobgrim]

With this episode being about him and his irrelevance this season i think his days might be numbered. I mean he really can't hit a higher pinnacle than killing Jacob. Then you have to figure eventually the secret of him killing Jacob is bound to get out. And all it takes is for right person to find that out. Then boom! its over. My guess it'll probably be Richard or Ilana.

its funny because he was supposed to die in the pilot, but the execs wanted him to live, you probably knew that anyway...I wouldn't lose any sleep if he was to get merced
And as much shit Ben caused on the Island i'd actually feel sorry for him if he died tonight...but that was fucked up how he let his daughter die like that

Actually it wasn't his daughter, remember he took her from, ol'girl, Danielle Rousseau, but he did raise her.

 

[whackjobgrim]

Oh really?...When did that happen?

 

[JaRonin]

If Ben dies tonight, I bet 108 dollars that Flocke will kill him. Perfect symmetry to him killing Locke two seasons ago.

 

[TimRock]

flocke could have been killed Ben. a long time ago.

 

[...]

Oh really?...When did that happen?

Yeah he did take her from ol'gurl and raised her. Why I have no idea. But that was said a long time ago.

 

[TimRock]

i think he was being sarcastic. he took her because widmore told him to. he wanted ben to kill the baby. but ben refused.

 

[...]

Oh really?...When did that happen?

You didn't tell me that she had a child. What was it I was suppose to do.

 

[whackjobgrim]

Yeah he did take her from ol'gurl and raised her. Why I have no idea. But that was said a long time ago.

It wasn't a serious question. I was pointing out the fact that the poster failed to read the quote that the poster he quoted posted. As you have now done the same.

billybob quoted timdawg with info i'm sure he already knew. And even if he didn't I had already stated this in my post.

Actually it wasn't his daughter, remember he took her from, ol'girl, Danielle Rousseau, but he did raise her.

So I then replied with:

Oh really?...When did that happen?

Then you followed in succession...

Yeah he did take her from ol'gurl and raised her. Why I have no idea. But that was said a long time ago.

Word up. I can't stand Jacks bitch ass. I would love to see the black smoke smack his ass into the side of a mountain or some shit.

For me Jack and Kate. Jack people have already said why but Kate I don't like how they try to paint her as a sympathetic figure. I can see someone making an excuse for her killing her step dad but there's no excuse for her getting the dude killed at the hospital and then the bank robbery just for the toy plane.

I don't want the show to end and she has a happy ending.

well she didnt get the dude killed at the hospital, he got in the car and wouldnt get out. that was his fault.

but either way, kates ending wont be a good one. she will probably die on the island, and go to jail in the real world.
