Lost Liveblog S03E16 – The Incident, Parts 1 & 2
I watch Lost and this season as one of the Delta Park Project’s research interns I figured it would be helpful to liveblog my thoughts. First of all, the episode description from Lostpedia: Jack’s decision to put a plan in action in order to set things right on the island is met with some strong resistance by those close to him, and Locke assigns Ben a difficult task.
So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make sense to anyone who doesn’t watch the show already and yeah, if you haven’t seen this episode, Thar Be Spoilers Ahead. Yarr.
* A spinning wheel? Really?
* What it is you’re spinning has to come from someplace, traditionally a creature. This is Polar Bear Wool?
* Something in my brain looking at the back of the person spinning just went OMG CHARLIE!!!!!!
* Looks very old here…
* That thing on the wall is pretty and I bet Rob knows what it says. I wonder if it’s helpful at all.
* Black Rock?
* They’re American?
* Is it because I watch too much Battlestar Galactica that I think Black Rock “crashed” like 815 “crashed” like 316 “crashed” and this happens on the Island over and over again?
* Who are they? And which one’s Jacob?
* Do you know how badly I wanna kill you? WTF? What is the agreement. What loophole?
* Oh so now we know which one’s Jacob. But who’s the other guy?
* Gratuitous Statue shot! That was hot.
* oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhweeeeeeeeeeooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….
* That was my dramatic (ascii) reenactment of the music at the beginning.
* I see they’ve upgraded Mac (in the “I’m a Mac” ads) from a hoodie to a cardigan. Nice.
* Trucks and corn! Weehaw!
* Kate? She’s green eyed and freckly.
* Oh look it is Kate.
* Wait is that Jacob? Did he appear in all their lives at some point?
* Pass? AWESOME!! Someone needs to give Kate a reality check. Such as reality is.
* mmm. Bossy Sayid is bossy.
* Manscara is all paranoid? Hrm.
* Oh good, Psycho Stewart is all worked up.
* Six years? Not FOUR years? Or EIGHT? (I had to ask!)
* I wonder why he’s so fixated on it being NOW NOW NOW. Can’t he wait till after a coffee break or something?
* Looky! Locke!
* A title I’ve discovered is incredibly temporary…hrm.
* So Benry admits he never met Jacob?
* “That is my recollection, yes.” hee!
* Manscara’s never seen someone come back to life, Locke’s never seen someone who didn’t age.
* So Locke tells Benry he is gonna KILL Jacob, and tells Guyliner he’s gonna THANK him. If that’s the same thing, I’m worried about Locke.
* I know a certain Mister Peacock is gonna LOVE that scene!
* Row, row, row, your boat, gently on the beach, merrily merrily merrily merrily 1973!
* Candidate, huh? FRIENDS?
* I think the phrase is “What the fresh hell is this?”
* It’s another H Bomb?
* Random church with a little kid. Two coffins? His folks? Sawyer?
* Yup. Jacob.
* I’m feeling like the pen is familiar.
* It’s The Letter!
* “What’s done is done”, huh?
* Sawyer shot Kate down, huh?
* How did Juliet swap Sawyer places? Weird. She’s convinced by Kate’s story and dragging him on an adventure? OMG!
* I like that she’s not like this all the time, because watching Juliet indulge in badassery is REALLY cool.
* HA! Tank top and no goggles or anything but he is wearing gloves working on the bomb.
* Whoa. MANSCARA is questioning all this? What in THE hell?
* Ah ha, maybe Locke had a plan by planting a tidbit with Benry to see what would happen.
* O! M! G! I think Locke just out-Benry-ed Benry! Didja see his whole face change when he said “You are.” DUDE!
* Aww, what are they planning?
* AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
* OK so Jacob saved Sayid’s life. But that was TERRIBLE.
* So that had to swim under a waterfall and all that but now that they are at the bomb they can just walk out?
* It’s Dharmia? Right next to the bomb?
* DUDE!
* Ohhhhh, it’s like that.
* Wait, “protecting our leader”?? Who is that exactly? Ellie?
* Who lives here?
* If they dodge the right folks they should be ok right?
* Oh it better not be Sayid who gets it. No no no no no no no. (etc)
* Oh don’t shoot him because of the nuclear device but slam the device up against a wall and that’s ok? Dropping Sayid ON TOP OF IT on the floor of the van is fine? Jebus.
* Oh Terminator. I want to like you. Really.
* Y HALO THAR SUBMARINE!
* Look at her face, Julet is sad to watch her possible happy future slip away.
* Every time someone gets in a boat I wonder if they’re the ones who fire flaming arrows.
* VINCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* ROSE!!!!!!! BERNARD!!!!!!!!
* Why aren’t they happy about this!?
* I understand all the tension and action but I want more of the Miles and Hurley Show.
* Oooh! Do webisodes of Miles and Hurley and their antics. I’d LVOE that.
* They’ve been stuck there for three years!?
* I like that Bernard has just as much sarcasm as Sawyer. (:
* They knew they were looking for them?
* “Because we’re retired.”
* “It’s always somethin with you people.”
* Rose is the smartest person on the show.
* So we die. We just care about being together.
* I cried when Bernard and Rose were reunited. I love them. Give them webisodes too! (:
* What’s in the box? Hurley’s guitar case? Hot Pockets?
* How does Ilana-Lucia know anything about anything on the island?
* So she already knows who he is? And apparently what he wants? WTF?
* What’s with the cabin? What’s the ash got to do with it?
* Shadow of the Statue, huh?
* It doesn’t seem like there’s enough cabin to light up the sky like that…
* Flannery O’Connor, Everything That Rises Must Converge (Short story collection.)
* OMG!
* Locke this time? What’s he gonna say to Locke?
* Did Jacob just bring him back to life? Did he apologize for bringing him back or for falling out the window?
* Does this mean the Island didn’t bring Locke back when he landed, Jacob did it already so it didn’t count as coming back when he got back to the Island?
* “I’m a Pisces.” Hee!
* Benry thinks Locke already knows he was pretending? Is Benry still a move or two ahead?
* “I lied. That’s what I do.” Wow, it seems like Benry’s finally broken.
* Does Locke have some sort of plan for something or is he just once again out Benry-ing Benry?
* OMG it’s Charlie’s DriveShaft ring! (sniffle) hang on a second, there’s something in my eye…
* Sun has some very nice vows.
* So does Jin.
* Now I think I have something in my other eye…
* Why are we stopping? Oh goody. Although the First Annual Jack And Sawyer Squint-Off might be fun.
* OOOH! Well. Sort of ooh. I’m sad there’s not more statue.
* How did they know Jack would be here?
* Ohh! From this we can deduce that each round of Squint-Off lasts 5 minutes.
* So Jacob (Christian) talked him down? Was that Jacob sitting over there?
* OMG it’s an Apollo bar! I had one when they released them a few years ago. It was good!
* “I guess it just needed a little push.” heh.
* Come on Jack, sit down! He used your real name and everything!
* Sawyer is talking to someone about this? Wow.
* What’s done is done, huh?
* Yes, Jack. What IS it about?
* OK, really? Jack is willing to change history for Little Miss Oh Today I Don’t Think I Like You I’ll Sleep With The Other Guy? THIS is his reason?
* So Jack is gonna REWRITE HISTORY for Little Miss PolarBearCamWhore? Oh you have GOT to be kidding.
* When he said “I had her” I thought he meant his ex-wife.
* Dude. Just…dude.
* Oh and Juliet just up and changed her mind? This is why girls have a bad rep, Juliet!
* Am I the only one waiting for someone (Sawyer) to say “This is why we can’t have nice things!!”
* Juliet, right?
* Seriously, Juliet, the man covered in someone else’s blood has a point.
* Juliet you are making me very sad. And Sawyer too.
* While what she says is true, doesn’t Sawyer know he and Kate could never ever be?
* Does it hurt? Oh let me poke at it with my jungle grubby hands then!
* LOST, you are losing me big time here. I’m not a Jater or a Skater, I don’t like her with either one of them. And now Jack’s entire motivation is HER? Puh-LEAZE!
* One Fruit Roll-Up. Hee!
* Jacob and a guitar case in a cab. Huh.
* Definitely NOT dead. Hrmmm…
* So Jacob did this to Hurley? Ohhhhhhh, ok…
* I like it better when Hurley just sees dead people Miles-style. I hope he’s not just crazy.
* “Not my guitar.” So it’s not his, or it’s not a guitar? ARGH!
* I love you Hurley. “Or the past. One of those.”
* Really, a guy covered in blood skipping up to the drill hole with a suspicious backpack? Yeah that’ll go well.
* No big Bruce Campbell-style “Gimme some sugar baby” when he takes off? LAME.
* I always thought it was an old LADY who lived in a shoe…
* (Yes I know it’s just a sandal. I was trying to be funny.)
* Benry doesn’t know what happened to the statue? Or just doesn’t want to say?
* I wonder why Richard is so huffy about this.
* How do you shut a door like that?
* If Jacob is such a special different dude type guy, will a knife really do it?
* I really hope it’s not Sayid, I like him. Nobody will sit and hold his hand?
* Miles has a point, what if this IS The Incident?
* Where did SHE pick up “Live together die alone”? She wasn’t there when they crashed…
* This should be…interesting.
* Nice! Here comes the Scooby Gang!
* BITCH THIS AIN’T A CUTSCENE PRESS A!!!!
* They’re such Star Wars fans, I wanted Juliet to say “I love you” and Sawyer to say “I know”.
* After all that, NOTHING!?!?!
* Oh here we go!
* OMG the hole is eating the drill! DUDE!
* And that’s how his arm goes, huh?
* GOOD! Stewart should get it!
* NO! That’s not fair and like the last time I saw someone get pulled down a hole it didn’t feel right.
* “Do you have any alcohol?” Hee!
* Well hello Ilana-Lucia. I’m sure they’re going to totally believe you that it’s ok.
* She asked again!!!
* What?????? There’s an answer? And I don’t know what it is???? ARGH!
* UPDATE: I looked it up. Answer is “Ile qui nos omnes servabit”, or Latin for “He who will save us all”.
* OK in the box was…Chucky Widmore?
* OMG! IT IS LOCKE!
* Kelly’s Mind: Will It Blend? Again, the answer is yes.
* So yeah WTF is that!?!?
* OK how is this a loophole? What’s going on here?
* Reincarnation or something?
* How is this a loophole?
* Dammit. This is Benry being all human and here’s his baggage all coming out. I hate when he’s human.
* Oh that’s better.
* Oh Sawyer I am so sorry for you.
* OMG SHE’S NOT DEAD!
* That little blood from the mought thing tells me she’s probably close though, right?
* And then it vanished?
* And now it’s white with black letters? OMG!
* So did it work? Do we know? How does this make the Island so you can’t be born there anymore?
* Will the final season be white on black credits?
* Are they copying Heroes with that “Destiny Found” like it’s the label of the final “chapter”? I hope not. They are SO much better than Heroes now.

I think I died a little tonight watching this. I so wanted to go all Captain Fanboy and be like “ZOMFG that was teh shit!!1!”, but I’m just like “meh – lame”.
Seriously, I just… I really need to sleep on it. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be more coherent.
Oh and yeah, I didn’t pause and translate on the spot or anything, but I’ve got me a nice HQ screencap, so I’ll get going on the wall-weave.
Wall-weave? RE: more coherent.
And yes, I will be making artwork for our non-single for out non-band.

My new theory about the lists Ben refers to: The important thing isn’t being on these lists. It’s *not* being on them. They are lists of people to remove from the field of play, as it were.
