Lost 2: Tied to a Tree in a Jungle of Mystery

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd have preferred to have had bits of this story play out over the season, instead of using up a whole hour of it when we're so close to the finale.

It's actually not all that unsatisfying an origin for Jacob and Smokey.

Also thematically, I notice that we have yet another mother willing to sacrifice her son. Also I guess the temple pool's revivication of Ben and Sayid must be connected to the Glowy Cave....

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I'd have preferred to have had bits of this story play out over the season, instead of using up a whole hour of it when we're so close to the finale.

Someone mentioned on twitter that it was shown out of order. Apparently it was supposed to be shown earlier in the season. That would have made more sense. But yes, it would have worked better as interspersed scenes.

I feel like there's still more origin story to come. Let's hope it gets told quickly, if so.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, huh, that would explain why it's not connected to the big events of last week.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do Lost's mysterious Jacob and the Man In Black play when they're sick of black-rock-white-rock?

Not watching Lost, all I see is Lucifer, the Horseman of War, and an escaping demon.

I think she means in the context of ita's SPN interpretation.

I think that still might be it.
