The Lost Season Five thread

I just marathoned season 4 to catch myself back up to the plot, and I think the pacing got a lot tighter after the writers knew exactly how many episodes were left.

Screw you guys :( the show is awesome again now. Ever since the end date was finalised the writing has improved drastically.

Just watched episode 3 too now. I'm intrigued by how Richard is neveraging. :D And funny how the spoiled brat in 1954 is Charles Widmore. I wonder how Desmond will do?
Can't wait for next episodes.

He doesn't age because he's moving through time also.

I think that if you stay on the island you don't age. That's one of the reasons Widmore wants to find it.

I Doubt it. He seems to be a daily presence among the others, spending years or decades at a time with a single group. If he were traveling through time, he only show up among them occasionally, and appear to have aged at at least some point in the past or future.

This week's episode needed more of last week's Sayid badassness.

No wait, EVERY episode needs more of it. :cool:

I'm starting to have X-Files syndrome. Staring up at the insurmountable shitload of unanswered questions and thinking, "Either the writers are waaaay smarter than I am, or this is going to be a train wreck to rival the Star Wars prequels."

Since the the former has NEVER been the case with network television, I have a sinking feeling that the latter is true.

Notice how some of the early mysteries such as the numbers, the voice of the smoke monster, the re-appearance of dead characters (before the island starting jumping), etc. have been conspicuously absent for about the last two seasons? Like maybe we'll just forget about that stuff and concentrate on the shiny NEW mysteries being thrown our way every ten seconds. It all points to a huge hole in the ground that the writer's probably have no idea how to fill up, regardless of how well-written the new episodes are. There better be some dazzling answers to all this shit or I'm gonna be pissed.

X-Files syndrome. :grr:

By "voice of the smoke monster" do you mean the whispering? If so, then at least two (edit: maybe all three? Hurley and Jack have both been seeing dead people, even though they've left the island.) of those things have been specifically mentioned this season. Or late last season. Like I said before, I binged on episodes over the course of a weekend, so they stat blurring together in my mind with all the back and forth they do.
