Lost liveblogging episode 5

Okay, I’m at a weekly Lost viewing party and will be dropping hella knowledge on you. Be warned, possible spoilers ahead!

10:01pm: Locke’s dead, Hurley is still fat, Sun is still hot. All is well.
9:50pm: I cut my finger on my softbox before the Lost party and it’s been annoying the fuck out of me. Damn you Photoflex.
9:47pm: Did Daniel Dae Kim have to hire a foreign tutor to teach him how to speak English with an Asian accent? It’s awful and borderline insulting.
9:40pm: Sawyer and Juliette need to have sex already.
9:27pm: Lock has really, big, breasts.
9:25pm: “Locke should suck my balls!”
9:21pm: There’s a black cat giving me crazy allergies. Benadryl isn’t working fast enough.
9:15pm: People watching Lost for the first time think Lost fans are absolutely bat shit crazy.
9:10pm: Watchmen commercial. Pants jizz.
9:06pm: The irony of Jin is Daniel Dae Kim has to yellow voice every episode. One step forward, two steps back.
9:01pm: Sun looks evil, but now she’s just doubly hot. Would tap.
8:48pm: Lots of screaming and shit. These girls take their tetris seriously.
8:58pm: I’m eating pizza. It’s fucking delicious but I can’t eat and party at the same time.
8:55pm: Ok, I’m giving up on indenting for now. Just trying to make this look relatively normal. WIll fix the annoying blockquote quote later.
8:47pm: Caitlin would eat one sandwich, and then have bags of natural Cheetos for the rest of the week.
8:45pm: Intense Tetris 64. How do you even play this? Magical blocks can meld into OTHER blocks.
8:37pm: Discussing the merits of root beer. The Japanese hate root beer.

Update: liveblogging is a bit sluggish with WordPress, but I will find a suitable time to hone and refine this much needed e-skill. Lost just isn’t as interesting as it is when you’re watching it by yourself, thinking hoping that Locke would just die already.

Lost’s time travel dilemma

i09 elaborates in succinct detail about plotholes in Lost’s logic for time travel and the paradoxes it has potentially caused.

It’s interesting that – as far as I can remember – we’ve never seen what happens when Locke, Sawyer and friends “time travel” from the point of view of someone else. What does Ethan or Richard Alpert see, when Locke vanishes? Does Locke actually physically disappear, or does something else happen? I have a feeling there may be a surprise waiting for us there.

There has been a ton of time skips in the first few episodes of season five, and I would be very surprised if they dutifully patched up all the loose ends on this violent and abrupt ripple through the spacetime continuum. While the writers are opening Pandora’s box for associations between the DHARMA of yesteryear and our unlucky island crashers, I think they missed out on some key what-the-fuck moments.

FutureAlpert gives Locke his compass, so Locke can give it back to him in 1954. Does this mean that the compass is stuck in a time loop? Is there only one compass, which Alpert gives to Locke in the future, and then Locke gives back to him in the past? Or does the 1954 version of Alpert have two compasses now? Also, does Alpert only know to give his compass to Locke because he remembers Locke giving it to him in 1954?

It really gets so confusing that half the fun is yelling out theories across the room while it’s airing. I’m wagering, however, that the Time Loop Theory will be 95% accurate until the very end, save for any last minute rewrites or twists to the series finale in 20010.
