Willow ,'Showtime'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I think toddler Charles was named after Charlie - because he saved Desmond's life and facilitated the reunion with Penny.
Desmond centric episodes rock.
I had thought that Richard Alpert was on the Island since whenever the pirate ship was foundered there.. . but this episode makes me think he may have only been there since the 50s.
no. I think he's been there longer than the 50s.
He would have to be in no less than his 80s if he was there in the 50s -- I'm betting since the pirate ship, at least.
What makes me foam at the mouth this time (there's always at least one detail that makes me yell at the screen) was the reveal that the Others all learn Latin... when so far as I can recall, there's been no mention of that in all the past seasons and many many scenes we've had with the Others.
Richard is likely pretty ancient. He gets to leave the island from time to time. There was that stint as Batmanuel in the mid-90s. So he has the capacity for heroism. I'd like to hear his Latin.
Whidmore being an Other rocked. Latin as the secret language, not so much.
There was that stint as Batmanuel in the mid-90s.
Batmanuel = AWESOME.
Well, his brief stint as a sugar baron in the 00ties - not so rockin'.
Oh, and somehow I had missed people calling Frogurt by that name on the show and thought it was a twopism until I heard Sawyer call him that last night.
I was reading Cindy's recap on TWOP (squee) and read this:
Next, Daniel is at the backdoor to the hatch, banging on it like he'd just stopped Sawyer from doing. He's pleading, "Please let this work," over and over again. And hey, I like most of these characters (or enjoy watching them, at least) even Daniel, but after the way he lectured Sawyer, I'm sort of hoping it doesn't work because I'm mean like that. I am not a "the rules apply to everyone but me" sort of person.
I had assumed that the same rules didn't apply because he and Desmond had met back in Oxford already and Desmond was his Constant. Though... Desmond didn't remember it during their encounter at the Swan door so... oof, this show makes my head hurt.
I assume Desmond is special because of the Hatch explosion, which dosed him with the Island's time-hopping juice.
Desmond didn't remember it because he met Farraday after the whole explodey hatch thing - that's when he started time traveling.
Or, at least, that is how I understood it. And he needed to find his constant to stop traveling.
Didn't Desmond also live through a whole bunch of stuff twice? I get a little confused when it comes to him.
