I'm looking forward to the Jacob/MIB back story. Hopefully will explain quite a bit.

How the **** do you get 'throwaway?' Has someone actually seen it and characterized it as such? It could be throwaway, but it seems to me that Jacob and MIBs' back stories could be a rich vein to explain A LOT.

I don't know how this could be considered "throwaway." It should basically explain why they're on the island....that's what we've been asking for 6 freakin years.

At the Paly Festival back in March, the producers said that between Richard's episode and this episode "Across the Sea", most of the mysteries of the island would be revealed.

Tonight's episode, "Across the Sea," focuses on Jacob and the Man In Black. When were these guys first conceived?
Lindelof: We had to start talking about the overall mythology of the island in greater detail in the cracks between the first and second seasons, before our characters went down into the hatch. That conversation basically kicked out into the other major arc of the second season. Which was: Who are the Others? Who are these other people on the island, and who was their leader? And who was he receiving his instructions from? By the time the show got into its third season, we started to hear references to this character, Jacob. And I think it's safe to say that those conversations started then. Do you think some fans get disappointed when they find out that everything wasn't plotted out from the first episode? Cuse: I think the answer is, once we announced the end date, I think a lot of those concerns went away. I can't imagine that there are many authors that are able to, basically, conceive something entirely beforehand. We feel strongly that the show would be worse if we were just marching forward. The creative process is not like a situation where you get struck by a single lightning bolt. You have ongoing discoveries and there's ongoing creative revelations. Yes, it's really helpful to be marching toward a specific destination, but, along the way, you must allow yourself room for your ideas to blossom, take root, and grow. I think that's how we approached the show: We had a rough idea of certain things, a specific idea about other things.

Huh?
I thought Richard's episode was one of the best directed and acted in the entire 6 year history of the show. I still believe that Richard thinks they're in Hell, contrary to the producer's original claims that the Island wasn't hell or purgatory. The script itself tells us that it's purgatory. As to the other mysteries, hopefully they'll be revealed tonight. |
