Very brief thought on Lost 6.09: Ab Aeterno

[weewarrior]

Ernsthaft, wenn ich mit einem scheinheiligen Arschloch, das gerne Moralstücke mit unglückseligen Fremden inszeniert, auf ewig auf einer Insel festsitzen würde, dann wäre ich auch mordlustig.

( Seriously, if I were trapped on an island for all eternity with a sanctimonious prick who likes to stage morality plays with hapless strangers, I'd be kind of homicidal, too.)

Sorry, wee_warrior, I thought this was selenak's journal; I didn't look at the link to this discussion properly.

Astro, could we continue any discussion on your journal as my comments are screened here?

And, yes, I miss Locke, too. Although, I will admit, less than I expected to, since we still get Terry O'Quinn being awesome at us every week (and twice over on weeks with alt!Locke bits).

Agreed! I was very upset at Locke's death because I felt that he got such an incredibly raw deal all along. However alt-Locke and most of the others are having a much better life without Jacob's intervention, which already had me doubting Jacob's goodness. As for the B&W symbolism of the stones and clothes etc, those colours have quite different meaning in other cultures. [wonders about Egypt]

Sorry, vilakins, I had completely forgotten that the comments are set to screened! You can discuss here, if you want, I don't mind.

Exactly. I didn't really like his zealotry, but I felt horrible when it turned out he had basically been duped yet again.

Sorry for not checking where I was going! Astro's post mentioned selenak so I assumed the link went there. :-P

I think Locke was a fanatic because he desperately needed something to live for. He seems to be having a much better life this time around, though I'm not sure if the father who would come to his wedding is his biological one, whom Ford is after, or his adoptive one. We never heard much about the couple who brought him up.

This makes me sound a lot more geeky than I usually am about the show, but when SideLocke was fired by Randy, you can see some pictures on his cubicle wall and one is of him and Anthony Cooper, so it's definitely his biological father.

I suppose there will be some sort of catch: maybe Cooper heard that the Fords died because of his scheme and gave up his con ways, or he was caught and served jail time? For whatever reason, he definitely seems to have stopped short of conning his son.

Hey, vilakins! Sorry for the mixup; it was all my bad. And for figuring I'd wait until wee_warrior unscreened things to come back and reply to this, and then completely forgetting. I was apparently having a day of extraordinary brain-deadness, as you can probably tell by the fact that I was, y'know, calling people by each other's names. And probably mixing up who'd said what to me, too. :) Anyway, you can always pop into my LJ and discuss stuff if you want
