Basically everyone is going to die on the island (Except Jack & Kate obv.) but it's okay because they're all living happily ever after in alt land with most of their island memories. I hoping there will be a twist or something but this season has been really straightforward and un-lost like I'm not sure there will be.

It's quite annoying that they've undone a lot of epic death scenes and I have the feeling the alt only exists because they didn't have the guts to do a tragic ending without the safety net of the alt.

"I have the feeling the alt only exists because they didn't have the guts to do a tragic ending without the safety net of the alt."

I THINK YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

[lostwithme]

Yep. So pathetic. :(

[exmemoriter]

I would've been fine with a tragic ending, but I guess I appreciate the Sideways world in that it shows me all of the hey!-shit-didn't-blow-up! happy life they would've had.

I'm hoping that Sun's inability to speak English makes her somehow significant in that she hasn't exactly spoken to Smokey. She's spoken to Flocke, but she hasn't spoken to him knowing he's Smokey.

IDK, I'm just looking for a way for her miraculous recovery to not be sexist and ableist and racist.

[worthadime]

that is really bothering me, too. :\ so I hope you are right. I enjoyed her "bitch please" look to Flocke when he was asking her questions.

[piratesswoop]

how is it ableist

[so_patriarchal]

it's using a disability as a plot point and a metaphor that is instantly and magically cured when it serves the plot's purposes

I think the 'sickness' isn't real or is easily curable. Sayid showed he still has feelings by not shooting Desmond. Claire just seems a liitle crazy. Now that her friends are back, looks like she's slowly going back to normal. Dogen's line about "Everything your friend once was will be gone." sounds like bullshit now. They better explain how exactly Sayid was brought back to life...and the rest of this sickness shit.

How is Claire claimed when she so easily left Smokey?

[exmemoriter]

I think she's still claimed.

[lostwithme]

They need to explain what that means exact, because they're not being very clear.

[exmemoriter]

I agree. It's getting a 'little' frustrating. :\

TOO FAST, BRAIN. TOO FAST.

I have a bad feeling that the Alt is the HEA after all even though it would make zero sense for that to be true.

It seems impossible to "end" the Alt world within the small amount of time we have left, so it's probably here to stay. I think it's a shame, because people in the Alt might be alive, but remembering the island hardly good thing.

How can you have a HEA when you remember a completely different life and everything that happened in it? I mean, people you've killed might not be dead, but you still murdered them in cold-blood in another life and you remember that forever. IDK IDK

I really hope Des's job is to tear down the Alt completely. RT might not be perfect, but it's a million times better than a HEA in the Alt.

I hate the island and the island timeline. I want everything there laid to waste. I thought they might go that route but now I'm not so sure. Whatever, man, I can live with that timeline existing as long as the island is destroyed for good.

[xevochic]

S1-S5 were island and island timeline how can you hate it?!

That Alt shit is cheesy and boring. HEAs don't even go here.

[beesknees7]

The island is a dick, Jacob and MiB are dicks playing a game, making pawns out of everyone. I don't want them to win. Also, I'm butthurt over all the great characters that have had shitty lives and/or died because of their manipulations. I wanted them to find peace and happiness, but they ruined it by making the alt all about "DO YOU LIKE ME? CIRCLE YES OR NO" cliche, trite bullshit. So now I don't know what the fuck I want besides seeing the island destroyed FOREVA.
