What do we make of this comment:About a third of the way into the season, Fox said, the show's two separate timelines — in 1977 and 2007 — "are going to be solidified into one, and we will be operating in a more linear time, to the end of the series." Once the show moves to one timeline, he said, flashbacks will cease, and the series will resolve on the island.
A third of the way into the season?Does that mean they're going to stay in 1977 for the first third of the season? Or does that mean they're going to go back to 2004 for a few episodes?It still means that I have no idea what's going to happen next season!
By the way, my friend and I have been going through season 5 again and it's been incredible. It's so cool seeing all the Locke scenes past episode 7 and realizing that he's actually the Man in Black.Also, one of the things that I realized looking back was in "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" there is a fascinating conversation between Abbadon and Locke at Helen's grave about choice vs. destiny that seems to mirror the destiny/freewill debate that Jacob and the Man in Black seem to bring up.Now that I've gone through season 5 again, that seems to be the fundamental debate throughout the season, whether it's between Jacob/Man in Black or the dueling Farraday theories of Whatever Happened Happened/the Variable.Anyways, it was an awesome season.
Yeah, I don't know what to make of that comment. He said it would be confusing at first. Maybe the 1977 timeline continues in some fashion without our castaways. Maybe we get to see the completion of the Swan, Radzinsky working in the hatch, or some stuff like that…and then we make it to the current timeline. Maybe "whatever happened, happened" and nothing in the future / past really changed. But maybe the 1977 experience was really integral to helping resolve the Jacob / Esau war. But what about the comment that Jack and Locke will square off one more time? Crazy.I've been rewatching Season 2. It's cool to go back and see all of the things that were even present at that early point in the series that have an impact on the present direction of the show. Just a great show all the way around.
That last comment was from me.
