Continuity errors is srs bsns
PREVIOUSLY ON LOST



HOLY SHIT, SAYID SHOT BB!BEN

Fandom asplodes with !!!, WOULD YOU KILL HITLER???, HOW DARE YOU SHOOT A CHILD, SAYID IS AN HERO, and BEN IS DEAD NO HE ISN'T YES HE IS YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST YES YOU CAN NO YOU CAN'T.

Then, Kate becomes awesome again and Jack gets booted out the Jack/Kate/Sawyer/Juliet Love Boat when he refuses to save Bendolf Lintler, which is what Juliet is doing, because she's an ethical doctor (or aiding and abetting terror, depending on how you see it). There was some important myth stuff in the latest episode, "Whatever Happened Happened", like Richard taking Ben to the Temple where he can get healed and lose his innocence and memories (thus answering Hurley's question of how come Ben didn't remember Sayid in 2004), but according to DarkUFO contributer Vozzek69, that's not more important than a continuity error -- I mean, a totally super secret clue to the writer's true endgame. It's all a matter of perception!:

Know what they see? Only what they need to see. Or more specifically, only what they need to be shown. Which is why when Jin turns little Ben over, the bullet hole in his zip-down hoodie is now on the exact opposite side of his chest - on the other side of the zipper. It's not even close, it's a complete mirror image of the spot where Sayid drilled him precisely through the heart.

Continuity error? Maybe on 24. But this is LOST, and we're seeing exactly what the island wants us to see, through Jin's eyes. But through the eyes of Sayid? For him the bullet went right through the kid's heart - no need for a coup de grace. And this, my friends, is how the island isn't so much manipulating the events or happenings we see from week to week. What's being manipulated are the perceptions and experiences of the characters on LOST, and yes, even the flashbacks.

Vozzek further continues to extrapolate on his theory that Lost is totally like a M. Night Sham-wow movie, with children who aren't really there and portraits that change. Things progress normally, with people going "ILU MANG" and

if they DO mean somthing. I must say, this is the most SAIN explanation iv ever heard for this.

and on the flipside going "uh, dudes, it's just a continuity error". In comes zorro, member of Team Continuity Error:

Honestly, I think you're completely over-thinking simple continuity errors. In fact, one of the things you use as proof--the fact that the Swan looks slightly different after its first appearance--has been confirmed as a simple continuity error. It just seems like you're trying so hard not to get fooled by the surprise ending that you end up fooling yourself into obsessing over meaningless things.

This might've been written off as a harmless bit of dissent, except Vozzek replies:

Honestly, I think you're completely over-thinking simple continuity errors.

Ummm... wow. Just WOW.

Yikes.

Zoinks, even.

And the war of Continuity Error vs. Tttly Super Secret Clue begins! I am in there under my eljay name, buongiornodaisy, as a member of Team Continuity Error. The debate bounces back and forth between "continuty error" "secret clue" until people start going on and on about how rude zorro is being!!!

Vozzek gets the big picture. Those of you who criticize him don't. Continuity errors!! That's absurd.

As GENIUS, detailed, and meticulous as the writers of this show have been, how can any of you really believe they are continually and constantly having continuity errors? I personally totally agree with Vozzek on this one.

Vozzek, thank you for your clear and well-thought-out reply to my points.

Hehe... ah, Zorro. Respectfully, I just can't argue with anyone who still thinks something as big as a migrating bullethole, this late into the show, can be anything but intentional. Yes, continuity errors can, do, and have happened. But something this big? You're off your rocker. Don't ask for screenshots, just go back and watch it.

Boy, zorro, you're really something today. Do you think maybe time-travel is possible? With this show you have to either be willing to suspend disbelief or go watch AI.

I find it difficult to respect Vozzek after making this kind of comment. Not only is it based on faulty assumptions, but it's downright arrogant and condescending toward anyone who disagrees.

According to Lostpedia, here is a list of Bloopers, Anachronisms, and Continuity Errors from Season Five. Knock yourself out Vozz, and explain them all according to your Shyamalan theory.

Ok zorro you win. I am guy that told you to go to Wal-Mart last week in last weeks “Things I noticed” comments and I totally apologize because you responded to me with total class. However I must say, then I was quite upset with you, today I am not but I still have something to say.

My issue with you is still the same. How can you pick apart everyone’s theories so confidently and all you know is what we know….nothing!! That is why they call them THEORIES! (Theory is defined as an Idea formed by SPECULATION) Do I have to define speculation too?

Raymond said...

This will end just like the "There's No Time Travel On Lost" feud ended. Vozz and those who are seeing the same things will be proved correct and those from the School of Zorro will never be heard from again (until they create new usernames to argue on the wrong side of the next debate).

Ken said...

I'm not reading all messages, but Zorro you are a completely rude and closed minded person. What Vozz is explaining is that Aaron is not really DISAPPEARING. Gawd, whats wrong with you. He is talking about certain perceptions of certain characters of the show. Not all the time, not all continuity errors or so called, alright.
The bullet wound was on ben's left side of his torso, and when Jin (the very next scene of the very next episode , they display the would on ben's right?? COME ON thats NOT continuity you....

Eventually the blog admin's had enough of it:

Stop, just stop!

Discuss the contents of this recap NOT each other.

Any further offtopic posts will be deleted and repeat violations and you will be banned.

This is meant to be fun people, some of you are seriously draining the fun out of it.

But as the thread is still going, we'll see how many people actually listen to him (although he is VERY generous with the baahleet button). (ETA: There are still people trying to wedge in their thoughts on zorro, but the conversation has now steered towards whether Aaron is real or fake.)

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated event. DarkUFO's just come off another epic debate as to whether a woman seen in the background of a shot is really Claire.
