The Following S01e15

Show all headers | View raw

Jimmy was introduced in the series\u2019 pilot as a friend of Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Mouth (Lee Norris), who at that point are on the outside of the \u201Cin\u201D crowd. After also appearing in episode 1.02, we don\u2019t see Jimmy again until episode 3.15, \u201CJust Watch the Fireworks,\u201D which sets the stage for what happens in the following hour by focusing on Jimmy\u2019s feelings of isolation and inferiority, as well as his apparent hatred for his fellow classmates who either ignore him or torment him.

The reason why this synopsis does the episode a disservice is because of all that it leaves out: every nuance, every poignant line of dialogue, every close-up on faces full of emotion, every powerful lesson it imparts. School shootings are something no one ever wants to experience, but bearing witness to a depiction of one is something I believe could actually be educational. While it could be argued that exposing someone to something like this can plant a seed in one\u2019s head and drive or inspire copycat behaviors, I would argue that this episode could actually be a deterent. You watch it and you see the devastating consequences of school shootings and you can\u2019t imagine anyone afterward ever following Jimmy\u2019s twisted path. Truly, I often wonder the difference it could make if this hour of television was required viewing in middle schools and high schools.


And I also did an interview with Allison Scagliotti, whose character Abby is originally one of the hostages but is let go by Jimmy when she starts to go into diabetic shock. We as viewers don\u2019t know it at the time, but when she makes her escape, she ends up being the only witness to Keith\u2019s murder, something that reverberates across the following season. Reflecting on first receiving the script for the school shooting episode, the actress told me, \u201CI was extremely moved by what I read, mostly because the Jimmy character was someone that could be very real. Who knows how many Jimmys there have been and still are in schools everywhere? The tragedy of what becomes of him is enough to wake people up, I think.\u201D


This episode is never far from my mind, and it was especially stuck in my head following the Parkland school shooting just over three years ago. In the wake of that 2018 massacre in Florida, I posted the text of Lucas\u2019 end-of-episode voiceover on my Facebook page.


In a 2016 Huffington Post feature on the relevancy of school shooting episodes, the authors wrote about how Jimmy\u2019s anger \u201Cresonated deeply with Tree Hill\u2019s residents and the audience.\u201D And the following year, Vulture observed, \u201CIt\u2019s strange now to applaud a high-school show tackling the issue of a school shooting \u2014 but at the time it aired in 2006, and we hadn\u2019t yet been inundated with shows tackling the same subject matter in exploitative ways. This episode spoke to the broad feelings around gun violence while also staying deeply personal to the show and its characters.\u201D Added the author, \u201CIt\u2019s hard to watch, but completely moving, even over a decade later.\u201D






Immediately after defeating Krang, Shredder appears to fight you. A health-restoring pizza will drop into the arena so you can get back and HP you might have lost when fighting Krang. 

Shredder has the following set of attacks:


In 1977, following the events of the previous episode "The Variable", Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) and Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) witness a young Eloise Hawking (Alice Evans) kill her adult son Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies) in the Others' camp. As Jack and Kate debate whether they should follow through with Faraday's plan to detonate a hydrogen bomb in order to change future events, they are attacked and captured by the younger version of Charles Widmore (David S. Lee). Eloise believes their claim of being from the future and decides to take Jack's advice to detonate the bomb. They travel with Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell) to a pond, which has an underwater entry to a series of tunnels in which the bomb is stored. The tunnels lie beneath the site of the Dharma Initiative's barracks. Kate does not want to take part in Jack's plan and leaves. However, an Other refuses to let her go, prompting an unseen Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews) to shoot the Other. Sayid agrees to Jack's plan, but Kate still refuses and compares Jack to John Locke (Terry O'Quinn), whom Jack once regarded as crazy. She leaves for the barracks and the others enter the tunnels.


In 2007, following the events of the episode "Dead is Dead," Locke meets with Richard at the Others' camp and tells him that he now has a purpose. Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim) confronts Richard about the fate of her husband and the other survivors stranded in the past. Richard grimly informs her that he watched them all die. Locke, Richard, and Ben Linus (Michael Emerson) travel to the location where the time-jumping Locke will appear, so that Richard can remove the bullet from his leg and tell him what needs to be done (as seen in "Because You Left"). They return to camp, where Locke speaks to the Others and tells them that they are going on a trip to see Jacob, from whom they take orders but have never met. Locke tells Sun that Jacob will know how to save their friends. However, he later admits to Ben that his plan is not to ask Jacob for help, but to kill him.


Wow - you're gonna be on the evening news ! That is so cool, congratulations.



Richard did always seem to have the answers, and now we know it is because he'd already met alot of the castaways. And - seems to me that Eloise was giving the orders, not Richard. She didn't ask Eric and RA to go with her - she kinda told them to. And 77 RA was following Eloise - not Jack.



All you faithful Whatever Happened Happened lovers are cracking me up. 'OPERATION ERASE 5 SEASONS OF LOST' I doubt will ever happen. LOL. Sure - I think something is gonna change, but it's not going to be so drastic as to make the last 5 years not count.



ABC sucks for showing what I think they showed on the previews for next week. I won't say what for the peeps who don't like coming attractions, but man - they just might have taken some of the fun out of it.


yeah...RA was following Eloise directly...but Jack is the man following through with Daniel's plan and everyone else is listening to it! So then in theory, Richard is following Jack! 



i watched the coming attractions too and don't remember what you're talking about! lol



I am just expressing my concerns of ALTERING TIME in terms of continuity and irrelevancy! The Whatever Happened Happened concept was a perfect way to get around this. And for the most part, it stays intact. I just worry about what is going to happen if they mess with it! Like I said, I have complete faith in the writers....always have even in the DARK times of season 3. But this is nuts!!! 



And thanks for congrats on the news!! It should be kinda crazy! We'll be doing it live via webcams on SKYPE. Hopefully I don't freeze up on LIVE TV! Or be so mad at the cliffhanger that I don't want to talk about it! lol


Well we had the official LOST Podcast FINALE for the season. And it was a darn good one! We won't hear from Damon and Carlton until Comic-Con now...which they said they have some nice treats planned! 



Synopsis of what was discussed: 



Follow the Leader - they discussed Locke and Jack coming into their won. Locke is a very strong and compelling guy in communion with the island. we should be very disappointed if we don't get more information on his "resurrection" by the end of the season. Jack, after weeks of being a janitor finally has his mission. But he doesn't have 50 people following him like in the olden days....Just Sayid who is up for any excuse to kill people (their hysterical words, not mine!) 



They joked about Jacob being a 60 foot tall flaming being and kept the theme going the whole podcast. That was a good time, since one of the Q&A's asked if Jacob was french and that's why he doesn't have a shower in his cabin! LOL They said, it's not in Jacob's best interest to take a shower because he's a 60 foot flaming man! ahhh good times. 



They discussed as with every penultimate episode of a season, they like to get their characters as far apart from each other as possible and see what happens (and in this case they are separated by TIME too!). Anyway, they also mentioned their disappointment in ABC's promos showing Sawyer, Kate and Juliet's status after going on the sub. But then asked the key question "HOW" do they get back? Carlton Joked....."magic box???" 



Okay...so the Q&A's



Q: Someone asked the question we've discussed a lot. THE COMPASS. Where did it come from? How does it get rusty when it's just goin to time travel back to 1954? Will it eventually deteriorate causing a hole in the space-time continuum? 

A: They said everything with the compass is intentional. They think of LOST as a mysterious show with a bit of Magic and Fantasy elements. There is a theorem out there called an Immobius Loop....which is similar to the Chicken and the Egg (which I have brought up on many occassions in comparison thank you very much!!). They said they spent way too many hours in the writer's room discussing the compass. But they really dont want to take away from the mystery of it. They don't want to OVEREXPLAIN Lost on certain things. With the compass...it's just one of those fun things that it has no beginning or end....and the deterioration? They said it's intentional...purposely perplexing, but will have no resolution. That's the fun of it apparently! lol Well, I can't lie, I did think it was pretty cool. But I thought the decaying of the compass would go somewhere!



Oh and Damon joked at the end that if Jack succeeds in his mission, the compass would be freed from it's eternal loop. And mentioned a scene they should have written between Kate and Jack. Kate: Why are you doing this? Jack (seriously): I just have to free that compass! Well it was funnier when Damon said it!



Q: Ahh yes, the Comic-Con Video. The question was, the video never happened. But that was Faraday's voice....what is considered canon on the show?



A: It is confirmed, the voice in the video is Jeremy Davies. And they said that the video was made before season 5 ever went into production. At the time they knew that some of their losties would end up in DHARMA times. They knew that Sawyer's crew would be living there for 3 years. They initially envisioned Daniel having this discussion with Chang but it isn't the way the story panned out. They compared it to J.K. Rowling having complete control of her characters, but there are 400 people working on the story of LOST over the course of a season and things just didn't work out. Instead, they sent Daniel to Ann Arbor. This might explain why that scene with Daniel in the Orchid looked so goofy when he walked down the platform with the crazy cannister and then ran right back to talk to Chang. It probably wasn't their original intention with the scene. They apologized but also said that in previous seasons things worked out for them to tie things into the Comic-Con events. But with this season, the theme remained alive, but they only consider events "ON THE SHOW" as canon. 



So satisfying or not, there's your answer! 



Q: When will we know who the good guys and bad guys are on LOST. Which side do we root for? 

A: They played a game of good guy/bad guy and named some characters. Hurley - Good, Kate -Good, Richard -Not sure yet, Frank Lapidus - Good, Sayid - Depends on the day lol



Q: Years ago the producers told us that we didn't have enough information to formulate an answer to how the show is going to end. When will we have enough information to put it together?

A: This is pretty exciting news: By the end of this finale and by the end of the season premiere of season 6 we will have all of the building blocks to put together the fundementals of what it's all about. We will get a sense of where they might be going with the story. Cartlon further added jokingly...we should be able to really put it together by the last episode of season 6 lol 



Well my friends...THAT is crazy. Sounds like we may have lots to talk about on Thursday!!
