Watch Lost S06E11

As Widmore leaves the room, Jin, who has been standing just outside watching, asks Widmore what Desmond is doing on the Island. Widmore says it'll be easier to show than explain and tells Zoe to bring Jin to the generator room where they can start the test. Zoe protests that the test is not scheduled yet, but Widmore insists and tells her to get it ready now.

Watch Lost S06E11

Loved the episode. Only problem I have is that Daniel seemed to make quite the logical leap when talking about "what if all of this wasn't supposed to be their life" with Desmond. And brought up the nuclear bomb, etc... To all of us who have been watching the show, this makes sense. But how does a pianist, with no knowledge of an island, wierd physics, time travel, and such suddenly steer his thinking towards this conclusion? A slight contrivance on the part of the writers I think, but perhaps explainable if we find out the two timelines are "bleeding together" as was postulated.

I am so not smart enough to follow anymore....my brain hurts (or fried like Des).I love it anyway, so glad I've watched from Day 1!!! It's so bittersweet, I want it to continue but I can't wait to get to the end...

Mike, Excellent review and work as always! Loved the ESB references...stop dissing on the Matrix sequals, they really arent that bad, you are just looking at them in context to the amazing first one..hrm, kinda like asking "how could people hate THIS season of Lost", when all we are doing is comparing it to older seasons ;-)I think the full link of the sideways world to the "real" world was obvious..the only real question i have is the nature of Eloise and her involvement..the real problem is that I do not think there is TIME to get a full background on Widmore and Eloise, or really all of the "Others" for that matter which is my real problem with this season, there just isnt enough TIME for it all to be revealed (as promised) and some of these things are important..like why is Eloise so knowledgable no matter which time she is in (the real time, the alternate Desmond time from all his episodes, Sideways land, etc)? Will we ever know?This is where the faith of MIB/Jacob vs. the Science of Season Five (Faraday) comes into play, and is another of my problems, what are we supposed to believe? I just do not think there is enough time, period..i know die hards are always going to have questions and maybe I should just "go along for the ride" but I just cannot acccept "it is what it is" or "its like medichlorians, you dont want to know" as the answers..but i did like the episode, would have loved it more 2 seasons ago...but my thoughts are that Desmond realizes the problems with the sideways world..he saw that he ultimately had to fail Widmore in order to get Penny, and that the two are in conflict with one another, he cant seem to have both. It seems like "the Widmores" will do anything in their power (which is considerable) to live the lives that they want, that they are entitled to (which again, we dont understand because we dont understand "the others") but it seems like the others ARE obsessed with their kids, more than usual, and are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they livethis i think reties into the "no kids on the island" thing and was the original reason WHY Charles left the Island to have Penny, he lost Faraday anyway..oh well, maybe the nuances wont be answered, guess i should give up on my quest for full disclosure lol..not sure, but it was cool to see the references in the sideways worldmaybe desmond will gather the passengers (including the random red shirts from the whole run of the show?) at the coffee shop and scream "WE HAVE TO GO BACK" in the end..in a complete side note: V was actually good last night, surprisingly..

test it on Captain Solo... HAHAHAHAHAHA AwesomeOk, so after this episode my prologue theory is out the door now. So, I am thinking midlogue. I am thinking they are going to go back to the island from sideways and that will make the current 2007 timeline correct. Confused? good. me too.It may also explain why Sun did not go back to 1977. She is going to die in sideways time so could not go back to 1977 from there. Therefore, her normal 2007 self could not go back to 1977 because it would create a paradox or something. ok more confusion... i knowalso, in Daniel's notes, notice that is says "Object @ light speed". Is that object the island? hmmmm...I am going to have to watch this episode again tonight since the only good thing on Wednesday is South Parkbtw, great job on the recap, as usual

I've been watching some of the old episodes from season 3, and there's something that I noticed. (Maybe it was mentioned here previously - sorry in advance if it's been hashed out already!)If you look at Season 3, Episode 17 "Catch 22". At 37:54, the monk/priest guy has a picture of him with Eloise Hawkins on his desk. That's super bizarre. With this and last night's episode, I'm thinking that Eloise is orchestrating the whole shebang.

Will Desmond discover that Penny is the mother of Jacks doofus of a son? hhmmmmmm..... I think SO!I also like the theory of freewill vs. fate. That the sideways is the losties living their life the way in which they wanted to and the current timeline is what their life is destined for. In the end when desmond states "I have to show them something." He is going to explain the island timeline and see who will go there willfully. Those who go willfully maybe are the candidates? Idk....just like the rest of you! God this show really turns the gears in my noggin. BTW, Just like Desmond episodes, Mike V you never leave me disappointed!-Jackson

Yeah! Love the Dezmundo episodes! What a great character and he and Penny are so great to watch as a couple on screen!All this talk about meeting up for coffee - there was another "couple" that had some coffee and whose meeting had a profound effect on the timeline of events on this crazy show - Desmond and Libby "Smith". Curiously they never shared a scene together until Libby had been buried on Boone Hill and the boat -"The Elizabeth" appeared on the horizon during Libby's funeral. Eloise - such a fascinating and mysterious character! Can't she just put us out of our misery and answer questions directly! lolMaybe she really is in charge somehow as she indicated to Jack at the end of season 5?Like in "Flashes Before Your Eyes" - noticing Eloise's broach again - could this new one refer to the 2 timelines?I cheered at Des' last statement of the episode in tracking down all the oceanics. Something exciting is going to happen when all these folks get together. I am ready for Sideways world to end! It's just not how it is supposed to be! lol Penelope Milton? Des' disappearing wedding ring?What on earth is going on? Why all the mystery surrounding Penny's mother's identity in both timelines? Will Penny and Chuck Widmore EVER be in a scene together on the show?I hope Dezmundo doesn't turn into a monster with all this EM exposure! Have to watch this episode again tonight.Thanks Mike V.

AUStar Wars - Did I refer to ESB? Oh yes....testing the electromagnets on Captain Solo...i made myself laugh with that one too..thanks! LOL Oh come on...those Matrix Sequels were BAAAAAD! Reloaded is more watchable than Revolutions...I will say that. And I did watch them multiple times when they came out. But in comparison to the First? No comparison. It was just so good! I have to say that LOST, to me, never has really dropped in quality. Yeah there was a rough episode here and there...but they are seeing their vision through. I think with the MATRIX...they didn't have a vision for parts 2 and 3 and tried to make it fit the mold they set forth in the first one. Kinda like Pirates 2 and 3. But whatever! To each his own. I still own all of the mentioned movies on DVD and/or Blu-ray! I still complain about The Prequel Trilogy for Star Wars (which yes are awful in comparison to the originals...and maybe just in comparison to real films!) but I'd probably still buy them on Blu-ray. Glutton for punishment right here! All I can say about your "not enough time" argument is this: EXPANDED UNIVERSE! LOL Let other authors take a shot at it and flush out these characters with Darlton's blessing. A la the Star Wars Expanded Universe. I still think we'll get some of those answers you're wondering about. Maybe not, maybe so. But it just seems so important to the end game. Widmore and Eloise seem heavily involved....maybe if we get a Jacob/MIB backstory...Wids and Eloise will somehow be in that too. Speculation, but you never know! We still don't know what we're supposed to believe and I'm not sure we will until the finale when we see it play out! Interesting speculation on THE OTHERS and THE WIDMORES. Could be right! And yeah the whole KIDS ON THE ISLAND playing into the giving birth on the island could be a good connection....I think we still need to get that answer. I would hope we'd get that answer! Yikes...don't get me concerned about this NOT ENOUGH TIME business! LOL I want to enjoy the ride! I still have to watch V, but that made me more excited now! And love the Desmond Coffee Shop speech. Good times! As always thanks for the comments! Gotta move on to everyone else now! 041b061a72
