lost season 5

great episode. loved all the red herrings, so my theory is:

overall, the time travel storyline is finally paying off, seeing Charlotte again was a great touch.

it kinda bored me

Finally seeing the statue was cool, but yeah, kind of a boring episode.

Nah, thought it was a decent episode.

I got all wet when I saw the statue, thinking that it looked a lot like the Egyptian God Anubis who was the God to protect the dead and bring them to the afterlife. Then I remembered the hieroglyphs in the hatch and I was like "aaah...!" even though I had no idea what the hell was going on. Then all of a sudden the ankh symbol showed up (did anyone notice if the statue was holding the Ankh symbol in its hand? If it did then it's definitely Anubis) around that guy's neck and then Richard showed up and he obviously doesn't get any older so if we're stepping into Egyptian mythology then that's just fine by me.

EDIT:

It's Anubis... fo' sho!

Too much Juliet and no Kate is the recipe for a bad lost episode.

Richard is always suave as fuck.

I'm beginning to like Juliet more and more... on my penis.

See what I did there?

worst episode so far. the ending was pure awful. did sawyer really need to explain about the 3 years thing? i think everyone got that from what horace said. "is 3 years long enough to get over someone?" end of scene. but no we're back into making tv for really dumb people (so saywer has to spend 5 minutes with a soft piano moment) who only care about romance or some dumb shit. kates back who cares. stop it!!

thats the last we'll see of the statue probably. the time jumping has stopped so maybe we'll see the toes again. seems like a tease they put in and they don't really have anywhere to go with it so thats it.

god the ending was painful. the way they all stood spread out around the van. sack th director, sack the writer.

it was alway going to be a boring detail fillign in episode and it didnt disapoint.

2 weeks till next episode so next week i'm going to play soft piano for an hour and stare at a photo of kate

fuck you lost

i liked this episode. more dharma stuff plz. clearly the ancient egyptians came from this island. they turned the wheel and found themselves in tunisia and walked east and came up to the nile and set up shop there. is alpert an ancient egyptian? he's starting to become a favourite character, suave as fuck indeed.

i like his tuck. his trousers look a little spacious in the front though.

they have these birds with the hugest tits going but they just cut away or cut up the top and leave it out of the shot

whats the fucking point

its like 90's libby on neighbours and you cant see anything

no point!!

Hmmm... it could also be the statue of Tawaret

  Quote

Taweret became seen, very early in Egyptian history, as a deity of protection in pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women wore amulets with her name or likeness to protect their pregnancies. Her image could also be found on knives made from hippopotamus ivory, which would be used as wands in rituals to drive evil spirits away from mothers and children.

 

But... the toes doesn't really look like anything human.

ankh necklace, anubis statue, "Horace" (Horus) Goodspeed...

we get it.

Egypt.

I hope Kurt Russel shows up to help them get through the Stargate.

*puts 2 and 2 together and gets bored*

Oh wow, I really like the idea of, as Azatoth said, the ancient egyptians actually originating on the island.

Is it just me though, or does the statue really look like Kate from behind? It's got the same body build, the same curviness and tone of the shoulders/arms. I mean, the more I look at it, it looks like Kate. And I'm thinking, now that we're seeing our favourite planecrash survivors as being an important element in the island's past, then why the hell couldn't it be Kate?

I bet we'll be seeing more of that statue and the whole egyptian element later on in the show.

Yeah, Kate is very muscular and broad-shouldered... but do you're not serious, are you? I mean, all the old Egyptian statues look like this.

I'm only half-serious, and yeah, I guess you're right.

Here's a thought though: where in time and space are Sayid, Sun and Desmond? They're not with Locke and Ben at the crashed plane, and they did not teleport/timetravel and drop into the lagoon with Jack, Kate and Hurley.

sayid and sun are probably in the same time as jack, kate and hurley, only somewhere else. locke and ben seem to be in the present, whenever that means.

OMG WHAT IF THEY ONLY SHOWED THE BACK OF THE STATUE BECAUSE THE FRONT HAS THE FACE OF LOCKE?!?!1!!/

I don't think we know yet... but they are 30-31 years old / Male / Caucasian / American

who fits that description?

Probably someone who was onboard the Oceanic 815 who turns out to have grown up on the island! OMFG! IT'S JACKx0rs!

LOL! i was about to say the same thing!

overall that was a pretty lame episode and i agree with everything andy said about the whole sawyer/kate thing and the ending where they were all perfectly spaced next to each other outside the van...so stupid, but it was cool to see the statue (for a split second...wow, thanks, guys, you shouldn't have). i'm down with the whole egyptian mythology thing, but uhhh, kinda seems tacked on, yea? the egyptian angle hasn't been there from the start, has it? as far as i know, they just started showing those temples with the hieroglyphics on them this season, right? i mean, ben went into the secret passage that had some glyphs on it at the end of last season, but was this present back in season 1, 2 or 3?

i guess it just pisses me off because now it's starting to tread dangerously close to a novel i've been working on for the past 4-5 years. when the show started, the only connection was that they were both set on an island that is kinda hidden from the rest of the world, but now that they're throwing in time travel (not a huge part of my story, but it is there), wormholes/portals and the ancient civilizations with high technology/magic it's like...ok, i wish you guys would have shown some hint that this was where shit was going several years ago and maybe i would have done my shit differently. i mean, the stories are completely different and the style is not at all similar, so i'm not too worried about it, but now i'm going to have to deal with people saying "oh, you mean like on lost?" when i start describing the basic premise to them and that's not exactly the kind of comparison i'm looking for. fuckin' bastards.

and really, the whole not showing people on camera for a few seconds to build suspense thing is getting really fucking overused on this show. how many times can it happen in one season? in one episode? the sawyer one was one of the worst of the batch so far. he's got such a distinct voice that there's no mystery. as soon as he says one word you know it's sawyer, so what's the point of doing the mysterious reveal? i just don't get that.

another thing i don't get - why the hell is sawyer only interested in some pussy if jack has already had his cock poking around in it? is he gay for jack? is it his way of one-upping him? out of all the bitches on the island he shacks up with juliet? even with reiko aylesworth standing right there with a recently deceased husband? seriously? isn't that the best time to run your con man game?
