The Christmas Dinosaur is one of the best movies Ive ever seen, but in the movie there are a couple of mistakes about the dinosaurs and the pterosaurs, like they say that pterosaurs are flyng dinosaurs but no dinosaur can fly, the pterosaurs were only cousins of the dinosaurs, and they thought the pterosaurs ate man sized creatures when the biggest ate baby dinosaurs, however this is still a very good movie

Even though I've never followed this show before, I watched the re-cap before hand and then the premiere. It was interesting enough that I'm debating whether or not to keep watching, go back and watch from the start, or neither.

well, a TON of the enjoyment of watching the whole series will be lost since the recap spoils tons of cliffhangers for you.

But then again, there are many many things the recap didn't touch at all - it didn't even mention Michael and Walt, two very important characters - and the pacing and acting of the episodes themselves are worth experiencing. I'd say watch it, you'll probably forget the details of the recap before long anyway.

I liked instantly picking out the little differences in the rebooted timeline from the original one.

Ok, like what tbone? Because I was trying to do that but my memory is not that awesome.

I'm not sayin' I'm just sayin'.

Well immediately I asked why Jack's head wasn't shaved. and my wife said I was nitpicking.
on another show, maybe, but on Lost, nothing is an accident or oversight.
Then there was Rose comforting Jack instead of the other way around....Hurley is lucky instead of cursed, Shannon isn't on the plane....

etc..

how does that work exactly? is there an "ABC Australia"? or does some other network get to show Lost episodes?

Channel 7 in australia shows Lost. But also a lot of other ABC programming. They've got some kind of contract. We're usually a season or two behind on shows on Free-to-air because the cable networks air the shows pretty much the day after it airs over there. But in the case of Lost, 7 'fast-track' it and we get it a couple of weeks behind.

so jorge garcia and his really cute girlfriend (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2318/2510408810_f621e6fc

remember that scene where miles and hurley discussed the consequences of time travel?

well, if miles was a cute brunette, and hurley sounded like he'd just woken up, it's kind of like that.

so the show ends with NONE of it ever happening? no thanks. the show is about the characters finding themselves, learning about their flaws and their mistakes, and learning to live with them. the term LOST is as much about the characters as it is about the crazy island. the show won't end with the characters losing all of the prior story. that's the cheap way out.

also, season one didn't start with flashbacks which showed the end of the season. it showed flashbacks that preceeded the start of the season. season two didn't start with flashbacks that showed us the end of the season. it started with a flashback that took place right at the end of season one.

no, don't buy it. sorry.

I think you're looking at it all wrong.

The idea behind the theory is that they will play out the off island storyline showing the difference in character development based on their lives after the plane doesn't crash.(which is actually what's happening anyway, the only difference here being the question, is it an "actual" reality, or an "alternate" reality.)

It wouldn't be as if none of it ever happened, more like all of it happened.

I think the new timeline has introduced a few mild plot holes that I highly doubt will be patched (though they might be, who knows!) If you think about it, given the things that have changed in the alternate timeline, neither Claire, Hurley nor Locke have any reason to be on Oceanic 815, yet there they are. Agree/disagree?

The episode premiered here last night.

Grant, Claire, need to go to LA because of her child, they shwed that in the first seasons. Hurley was giving the option to go or not, it was free will, jacob tells him about the flight and tell him he may or may not go. And Locke was returning home after he was not allowed to take that tour in Australia

Grant, Claire, need to go to LA because of her child, they shwed that in the first seasons.

She went to LA because the psychic told her to go to LA, and he only told her to go to LA because he knew she would crash on the island. If she wasn't going to crash on the island he had no reason to put her on that flight.

Hurley was giving the option to go or not, it was free will, jacob tells him about the flight and tell him he may or may not go.

I'm talking about Hurley's original reason to fly to Australia, which was to find out about the cursed numbers. If the numbers weren't cursed (remember, he's the "luckiest guy in the world" in the new timeline) he had no reason to go to Australia.


And Locke was returning home after he was not allowed to take that tour in Australia

Locke went to Australia for a walkabout, which he was told about by that black guy who turned out to be Charles Whidmore's assistant. Presumably he told Locke about the walkabout because he knew Locke was destined to crash on the island after returning from Australia. If Locke wasn't going to crash on the island, why would that mysterious guy show up to tell him about the walkabout?

Nice tries though Natiest.

Didn't that psychic eventually out himself as a fraud? I'm thinking he didn't know shit about any crash.

Good pull on Whidmore's guy putting Locke on the walkabout path, I'd forgotten about that.

so the question you're asking now is, how did these 3 get put on the path that gets them on the plane? Claire somehow still finds the couple in LA. Hurley still goes to Australia, presumably for some "lucky" reason. And Locke finds interest in a walkabout from somewhere else.

The real question now is why? what's the significance?

There may be no "why", perhaps the writers just got lazy and put them on the plane just because they wanted to. Or, the alternate universe might be "correcting" itself somehow. I guess we'll see as the show goes on.

I always felt like there was more to that psychic story than meets the eye, but now that I think of it, it's possible that the writers made him say he was a fraud to get rid of that storyline, so they wouldn't have to clean it up later. Whether or not he's a real psychic, though, he's the one who put Claire on Oceanic 815.

I'm glad this is the last season if only so I don't ever have to watch another kate-centric episode. Kate annoys the fuck out of me.

if the alternate universe storyline is one big exercise of "these-characters-are-who-they-are-at-the-core"....then I guess that's the "why" I'm really worried about. is it because they didn't have any more back story or future story to explore? We already really know all of these things about these characters, so I'm worried that if the alternate universe story doesn't actually play into the "real" island storyline, then they just wasted half of the screen time of the last season on character study that didn't really move any of the characters forward.

That's the part of the "reset" that I've been against. But i'm still hopeful that it all ties in, story-wise.

I agree that they will come together.

I think all of them being on the same plane will eventually become more significant, and therefore we will find out that they were all pushed to Australia for different reasons. The fact that Kate and Claire are hanging out makes me think that fate still has plans for them.

I love you.

So is everyone here thinking that these new flashbacks are a parralel reality created by the bomb going off?

Because I'm thinking that they are not a paralell reality but the same reality we are seeing on these new episodes. That is to say the bomb worked and they never crashed THAT time, but for some reason they all ended up back on the plan together and crashed anyways.
