Lost Rewatch House of the Rising Sun episode discussion for the Lost Rewatch

[I_Am_Lost_316]

The thing that stood out to me about this episode was John and Charlie's "getting to know each other talk"..

Locke: Do you want your guitar back?

Locke: You are going to have give something to the island.

Locke: look up.

Double guitar cases..just like canoes....lol..

This made me think of Hurley's guitar case and Jacob visiting Hurley.

Does Jacob know Charlie is ok, and that they WILL change the future..

Could this be the first clue of an alternate reality?

Double guitar cases?

Good episode. Again I like the end where Hurley is listening to music and they show all the characters. I didn't realize they did that so often in Season 1.

I liked the conversation between Sawyer and Kate about the beach or the caves.

This sis what I miss most from the early episodes of Lost.

I also miss these musical endings. It's VERY much like many episodes of Alias. I think that the musical endings are something Abrams likes to include, songs from his iPod maybe?

I'm glad they only did this a few times, then stopped. The song choices they made were spot-on perfect, though. "Are you sure" by Willie Nelson made the end of this ep unforgettable.

But shows like "Cold Case" end every single episode with a friggin' song.

Every. Single. Episode.

It becomes boring, repetitive and formulaic. Worse, I think it's lazy, a shortcut to stirring emotion in the audience. "Well, we couldn't really generate a strong emotional reaction in you with our drama, so listen to this bitchin' Tears For Fears ballad instead!!!"

"Lost" is better than that. A lot better.

I agree songs should be used only so often in episode endings. Gives it that extra special touch.


I never really payed much attention to the adam and eve. But my guess is that it is Sun and Jin. It seems like their building thir love story up and up through out the seasons. Like S1/S2 We saw their fairy tale beginning then saw thieir fall with Jin being her fathers bad boy and sun hating Jin and wanting to leave him..
But then they find their love again and in S5 Sun is obsesed with revenge for Jins death, then when she finds hope hes alive she wants to move heaven and earth to find him. Also vice versa, Jin wanting to find sun badly..

I bet they have a romeo / juliet type ending. You know tragic love story thing.
But I got no idea how the stones relate to them.

It's interesting how Kate said -- almost out of the blue -- "I don't want to be Eve." How freaky would it be if Jack and Kate had found their own bones?

Also, I'm really disappointed by Sun and Jin's relationship. They start out making Jin look like a horrible person, and Sun is going to leave him, and then by S5 she's not going to let anything stop her from getting back to him. His initial "cover yourself and don't leave my sight" stuff doesn't seem to fit, before or after.

This is the big episode in which we see Adam and Eve for the one and only time. This has been the one mystery on the show they have always hyped up and said that once it's answered it will be proof that they have always known where they were going with the show. A huge mystery because it has held up in people's minds for 5 years now based on 2 minutes of screen time.

I wonder if they will show that scene on "previously on lost" in the episode that answers it. On one hand it would spoil the surprise but on the other the general audience won't remember it from 2004 considering it won't be until 2010 that it's revisited. Another question is if they will rebuild the caves set. It hasn't been seen since the second episode of season 2 afterwhich they probably dismantled it. I'm sure it would be expensive to rebuild though which is probably why we never saw the inside of the Swan in season 5.

I did notice one new thing with that scene (which i can't believe i hadn't before) and that's Jack saying they were laid to rest there. All this time i had assumed they died there

i think that the guitar that jacob gives hurley is charlie's guitar from the island.
