"Across the Sea" Live Commentary

[AlanC9]

So Smokey isn't really Jacob's brother either???

Sure he is. He's just dead.

Here's a question, though: the "I wish I could kill you scene" from Season 4 (5?)...when did that actually take place? It had to be post-MiB death, right? If so, how?

 

[Gertch]

So we got a few answers. Though I think we could have done without the flashback. We have been watching all along.

 

[What's his face]

According to Lostpedia, RealMom's name is Claudia. NutMom doesn't have a name (yet)

Though it was nice to see Evangeline Lilly with some make-up. It was almost enough to make me forgive her acting.

 

[Elemental]

Wow I'm doing well in calling things tonight.

This eppy wasn't exactly that unpredictable. Aside from that beginning which I didn't see...

Why couldn't I have one moment please!

lol sorry. You done well.

 

[RoJoHen]

According to Lostpedia, RealMom's name is Claudia.

Well, yeah, she told us that in the very beginning of the episode.

 

[Trippy]

RealMom said in the episode that her name was Claudia.

MiB's body is dead, but Smokey lives!

We need an av contest so I can make a Not.Dead. av for Smokey

 

[WeAreTheBorg]

I had totally forgotten about that season 1 scene. Nice connection.

Thank you!

Still no name. That's bogus!

Actually, his name seems to be "brother".

This episode didn't seem to answer any questions other than who were Adam and Eve? And why were there black and white stones with them? And it left many more questions.Where did FakeMom come from, how did she know about the light and what it does and why does she think everyone else is bad? Why did she favor the brother rather than Jacob? Why can't they leave the island? Who came before FakeMom.... This episode was just unsatisfying.

Black and white stones from the backgammon game representing the common theme of light/dark, good/evil, etc.

I think, however, it isn't all, black and white, pardon the pun. There is good and evil within us all, and within the characters of Jacob, fakeMom and MiB.

 

[Samurai8472]

And so a backgammon game washes up on shore?

Jumanji!

 

[Agent Richard07]

So if they are twins, why did MiB look so much older than Jacob during the "do you know how much I want to kill you" scene?

The darkness in him made him age faster.

Could Allison Janney be Eve?

Yep.

I really want to see how Smokey becomes Smokey, like really smokey.

He goes into the Magic Light Cave and discovers, "Holy shit, it's not magic light! It's fire! I'm on fire! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

Then he turns into smoke. But since he can't really die, he stays smoke FOREVER.

Good call!

What was the mom rubbing on her leg and why?

I thought she was shaving her legs.

He's totally not dead. He's gonna wake up and stab her in the chest!

Another good call.

So can they undo last week's stupidity and bring back Sayid, Jin, Sun, and Frank with it?

I think that's what the flashsideways are.

I thought he was gonna Hulk-out into Smokie right there.

So did I.

Still no name. That's bogus!

Actually, his name seems to be "brother".

That was my little in-joke too.

 

[RoJoHen]

I think that's what the flashsideways are.

I think this is fairly obvious at this point.

 

[coolghoul]

Good calls RoJoHen... Even when you were half-joking!

 

[RoJoHen]

I'm actually one of the writers of the show. Didn't you know?

 

[sidious618]

I think that's what the flashsideways are.

I think this is fairly obvious at this point.

What? An epilogue to bring everyone back? God, I hope not.

Um...no, not an epilogue. The flashsideways story still isn't finished. Desmond is still on a mission. It's pretty obvious to me that these characters' stories (even the dead ones) aren't finished.

maybe the grand finale will feature the prime timeline characters making one last ditch effort to make things right into what once went wrong... succeeding in putting the island at the bottom of the ocean before their plane even passed by it.

maybe the flashsideways are actually not flashsideways, but actually we've been watching the real finale of the show all along?

that seems to be a popular theory
