lu: (Beyond creepy)
[livejournal.com profile] deadcinderella inspired me to talk a little about Lost. Not the episodes themselves, but just in general.

A lot of people have told me that they (really sorry about the pun) lost interest in the series. Too much mystery, very few answers. Some say Locke is weirder than ever, and that J.J. Abrams is going to explain everything through the realm of the "unnatural".

Now, I say, seriously people.

Anyone that OMGLOVED the first season, all it's questions, mysteries and, quite frankly, bizarre things has no right to decide, right now, that Locke is "weirder than ever". Does anyone remember that creepy herb he put on Boone's head in season one that made him hallucinate? All his craziness towards the hatch, that yellow light (which was explained by pure and simple reasonable facts) and all that jazz.

If you think rationally, all Locke did on that episode was hallucinate with the help of really cool herbs that he had to save Eko. He felt guilty about Boone, Boone shows up on his subconscious. He felt guilty about Eko. Guess who Boone told him to save? WOW. Very psychic that all was, eh?

All I'm saying is... patience, my dear hobbitses. Anyone that has seen Alias know how crazy and bizarre J.J. Abrams is. He already said explanations will be scientific. He also said he had enough script for six seasons. I was programmed, from the start, to only get some answers by then. Were you whole lot not? What would be the fun if we found out everything so soon?

Season three is amazing so far (the last ep... WOW) and, as Renata said, we don't waste time watching poker matches. This is not Big Brother. The fun of the series isn't to see Kate in her bathing suit.

...Or maybe it is, like some of the theories say. After all, sometimes is does seem that one that island WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH AND BEN IS WATCHING YOU.

In Lost two plus two can equal five. And while some people decide that is an absurd and turn their backs on the series, us, believers in J.J. Abrams's craziness, wait to see the insane, but rational, equation that would give us that result.

ETA: I've just seen this picture in [livejournal.com profile] fly_meaway's journal. Look at the plane, to the right, behind Walt. See the symbol? Now tell me all of this wasn't meticulously planned.

I don't think it's fair of me to link you to the audio files they made (when they clear out the rest), but I can copy some stuff:

This for instance is from 3.04, when Jack hears the intercom for the second time. Just before Juiliette comes in to get Jack to operate on Colleen:

1. Speaker 1: (Everythings) under control (.5 sec)
2. Speaker 2:yeah? (2.35 sec)
3. Speaker 2: You know what he's doing to Colleen? (3.09 sec, note CC had "Karl" instead of Colleen)
4. (they don't know yet what is said here)(4.19 sec)
5. Speaker 1: the man knows what he's doing (5 sec)
6. Speaker 2 it was a mistake bringing those two here (7 sec)

Then some more in EMFH: Sawyer waking up on the operating table and the first intercom scene:

1. voice 1: No we shouldn’t do this (0 sec)
2. voice 2: just stay on okay/ just stay focused ( 1 sec)
3. Benry: And... (2 sec)
4. Benry: I'll check Goodwins house (3 sec)
5. unitelligable whisper (4.5)
6. Tom: where do I start, in the two days since the sky turned
purple, we’ve been blind our comms are all down and I can’t get
them up again and in case you forgot Colleen’s in critical (5.25)
7. Benry: Juliet’s taking care of her (16)
8. Sawyer: Ahhh, where am I? (19)
(20 sec right after sawyer says where am I there’s a weird noise,
could be his sighing but it sounds processed) I think this is just
him sighing.
9. Sawyer: what the hell are you doing to me? Let me up
10. Benry: Jason.
11. Sawyer: let me up
12. Jason: bite down on this please
13. Sawyer: you bite down on it
14. Ben: its for the pain.
15. Sawyer: Wait. Wait let me up. no.
14. Benry: God I hate needles.
16. Sawyer: No. No. What are you doing.
17 Sawyer: Wait
17. unintelligible whisper (56 sec possibly free 'em)
18. Sawyer: wait what are you doing,
19. what happened (1 min spoken quickly, possibly Sawyer screaming)

Then this is from Tale Of Two Cities, when we first hear the intercom:

1. has she tried to talk to him/shall we talk to him (3 sec)

2. Look on (4.5 sec)

3. Has he answered/his head is hurt (6 sec)

4. dont/won't talk (6.2 faint)

5. we're not sure if he knows that much/ we’re not sure if we’ll find out much (7 sec - 8.65 sec)

6. that's what I was thinking (8.5 sec)

7. (to) let him go free (9.8 sec)

8. it's not easy keeping something that secret/sacred (12 sec - 15 sec)

{Jack: If you're trying to talk to me, i can't hear you}

9. what are you gonna do/ go on and do it (14 sec, in background)

10. Let it go Jack (Christian's voice? 18 sec)

11. Now I can tell what you're doing (20.3 sec)

12. unintelligible (21.2 sec, possibly "Bring it back to her")

Some of these are not always really hidden, but some stuff is. So interesting. I can give you more if you want.

WOW! Those are incradible. Like... WHOA. I can't believe that some people actually decipher these things. Amazing. Where did you get all this? Fuselage?

Yep, TheFuselage.com. There are two people that actually do the deciphering over there. If you get an account there, then you should go to the 'general theories' board and in there (at the top) is the Whispers thread. The now called Whispers and other hidden audio.

I have more if you want :D

Is it free? I'll totally go there, if it is.

I would loved it if you could parte more, though. =D

Yep, it's all free. The only thing that you need to pay for if you want special things, but that's only necessary for the people who spend almost all their hours on there, I think. I can hardly keep up with the site, but I like to go there from time to time.

So yeah, it's free.
And I'll give you some more this coming week :D

Oh, yay!

And yes, I will join!

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
