Lost 6x09: "Ab Aeterno"

[coolghoul]

But, I'd rather see his flashbacks.

Seconded. It would be cooler to see what happened with the Blackrock - it would cover what we saw beginning in last season's finale.

History is the same up until 1977, then everything changes.

From all that we know so far, yes, the divergence should occur due to the bomb.

Unless - the bomb doesn't cause the divergence,and is only a vehicle for the Losties to jump forward to the current island time. In which case, the Losties might still jump backward to whatever time for whatever activity is the planned plot climax. But that way is just unknowable until the creators reveal all. So, I'll stick with the 1977 idea.

So I think at this point, we might see an old Richard Alpert in the flash-sideways (in case he no longer remains ageless from 1977 onwards). Or maybe he will accept to be the protector of the island. And then *he* can remain ageless. (Cos Jacob also doesn't seem to age).

I'll sign off until the episode airs for you guys. I don't want to risk posting spoilers accidentally.

I'm watching it too. How come nobody hates me?

 

[What's his face]

Wow. Richard was an alien all along? Didn't see that coming.

edit: Seriously though, it's really good.

 

[Jaron]

I like where this is going.

I voted Excellent. There were more revelations in this episode than in any other in the series, if I'm not mistaken.

One of the best episodes in the entire series, IMO. Nestor Carbonell is an incredible actor.

This episode really hits home that this series is almost over

Agree. It's the turning point in the whole series. Answers! The four letter word revealed!

Holy Fuck this series is really coming to an end!

Yup. Amazing and yet sad at the same time.

I'm thinking about calling the man in black "Sam Mendes", because that's who he looks like.

The six bonus minutes are going to consist of the Firefly chick in V doing her sales pitch for the 4,376th time during Lost this season.

Please...no more of her.

I hated her in Stargate and I hate seeing her in those commercials every ten seconds during Lost.

Unfortunately, I probably won't give V a chance because it has her.

Yay! All questions will be answered, right? :P

Surpisingly, not so funny after all

Here's what "ab aeterno" really means...

from the eternal

Literally, "from the everlasting" or "from eternity". Thus, "from time immemorial", "since the beginning of time" or "from an infinitely remote time in the past". In theology, often indicates something, such as the universe, that was created outside of time.

Well I'll believe it when I see it, but if it's true, I'll gladly eat my words. After 6 seasons of the "art of the stall" I've just gotten way too cynical about this show.
