See I would've thought it would be hillarious to see! Awkward for sure, but hillarious.

That Locke/Helen scene is my favorite of the season so far. Well that or Locke's meeting with Jack, it's a tie.

Lostbeth · 02-22-2010, 08:04 AM

Locke meeting with Jack for me.
The scene with Helen was great as well.

iKi · 02-22-2010, 08:17 AM

nice pic!!!! made me gooseflesh when we saw similitude with this, when sprinkles wet his face in the alt, and he LAUGHS too indeed!!

Best of season to me is whole 6x04 from beguining to end!!!

OK this is MIB and posted in his thread but... well given that it's Terry too, post it here too, cos after all it's the actor playing the role

His face and reaction when James put the whisky glass in his hands was so freaking hilarious!!!

he was just like, eh?, WTF?

and staring at the glass and at his wet hand!! Terrific Terry!!!

Liz01 · 02-22-2010, 08:33 AM

Yeah Smoke Monster probably can't drink, he looked confused as to what to do!

Terry's expressions are amazing!

Oh Locke was so happy in that moment. I love that he could always predict when it was going to rain.

iKi · 02-22-2010, 08:40 AM

yeah, and if it drinks, it's useless he has no consistent material form to retain the liquid inside of him

I am so happy Terry plays John's replica, I mean, once he's killed off, well then we got a great thing: to watch him in 2 "different roles" (in brackets) in the same day and show

so given the tragedy of the situation of the killing off crap, it's one of the "in best of cases"

PS I agree: "... it would be hillarious to see! Awkward but hillarious."

OMG!!!! It’s soon time for a new thread WE NEED A TITLE!!!
I would think of something like……. “There is no such thing”, maybe the most shocking sentence in S6 concerning John…

A mini-Q&A with man-of-the-hour O’Quinn, who shares his thoughts about playing the Man in Black and the Smoke Monster. After you read it, use the space below to spill your thoughts—and theories—about UnLocke.

EW: Any hints you can provide about where we’re headed in the next chunk of episodes?

TO: My guy—Smokey, as I call him—has a plan and he has an objective, and he’s working toward it. The question is, ‘Is it for his own good or for the good of everyone?’ That’s still up for debate.

EW: The Man in Black/Locke/Smokey revelation was a major advancement of the Lost mythology. How did you feel about that twist?

TO: I thought it was one of the biggest leaps that people were going to have to take, in terms of suspension of disbelief. Like, “Okay. All right then.” But they’d already been set up because you knew Christian, Jack’s dad, was walking around and things like that. Somebody said, “Did Lost jump the shark?” and I said, “Either they always have or they didn’t.” You know? It’s just one more giant leap. People seem to have taken it in stride. I was afraid that it might be asking too much of an audience to accept that, but everybody seems to be dealing with it all right, so I’m real happy with that.

EW: Is it an honor to be the Smoke Monster?

TO: Oh, yeah. It’s fun to play. I mean, it’s just totally different from whatever John Locke was. Bad guys have better secrets. And if he’s a bad guy, he’s got a lot of secrets. And that’s what frustrates people. When [Sawyer] says, “What are you?” and Smokey says, “What I am is trapped,” okay—you don’t pursue that question. Everybody else will go, “Well, what the hell does that mean? Who are you? Come on, man!” But we’re going to have to wait until another week to find that out.

EW: How did you go about playing this new character? It seems like a tricky needle to thread—as you’ve said, it’s “hard not to load things up, become arch.”

TO: Well, it is. Not because of any instruction, I chose to…. In the scene, for example, right after I told Ben I was Smokey – “I’m sorry you saw me like that”— occasionally there’s residual Locke emotions or feelings that Smokey gets that may surprise him, may irritate him, that he can’t completely control, so he’ll be smug or make fun of John Locke. Or say he was a loser and he was pathetic and he was broken. But for my own edification, I keep a little spark of John Locke alive in this being, whatever he is… so that if for any reason, anybody wants to summon that spark, it’s there. And I think sometimes Smokey’s indifference is my choice. Smokey’s puzzled by it: What is this persona he’s inhabited? Maybe it’s stronger than he thought it was. But that just gives me things to play in the scene, gives a little bit of color to a scene. And I enjoy it. He was moved when he told Ben that John Locke’s last thought was, “I don’t understand.” And he was surprised to be moved.

EW: In last week’s episode, Ilana said that Smokey is “recruiting,” and we saw him go after Richard Alpert and Sawyer. Is his first order of business to recruit all of the castaways?

TO: There’s some recruiting that goes on. We’re doing an episode now called

Spoiler:

He has a purpose. As you know, all of a sudden, they’re establishing all these rules. “You can’t do this unless this…” It’s like a children’s game. We keep making up new rules [laughs]. So the recruiting has to do with fulfilling the rules.

EW: What feedback are you getting from fans?
TO: People tell me they like Bad Locke: “I like the new dark guy.” And I say, “Well, that’s good. I’m having fun playing him. I don’t know if you’re going to like him when it’s all over, but as long as you’re liking watching.” It’s amazing to me—what is this love affair we have with bad guys? With the bad boy in high school, with the anti-hero, et cetera, et cetera? Because I was always just a very nice boy. I didn’t get it.

thanx!

uh but I don't read stuff, wanna know no impressions or possible spoilering things

hey, what about the title for new thread? I thought of "There is no such thing" but if someone comes up with a happy thing, but there's none....

OH maybe.... "Maybe it is destiny" "Maybe it is" (Helen, John) ???

I like that it's given Terry more material to work with. Locke was never evil, so it's kind of fun to watch Terry play a more sinister role.

I really like Terry's take on that. I would love it if there were some Locke inside of Smokey, that's incredibly interesting.

So very true.

Thanks for posting that!
