WFTB – S1E15 – Homecoming Live TweetUp Transcript

Once again we had a great group of LOST fans join in to watch LOST together and tweet their thoughts. Homecoming was an interesting episode, the return of Claire brings up lots of emotions. The threats from Ethan in his quest to get Claire back, for whatever reason that is, bring the survivors together in purpose for a least an episode. Jack, Sayid, Locke, and Sawyer team up with Kate (five guns, five men (er, four men one chick)) to take the fight to Ethan. Then things go awry after Jack loses his gun. Read through the live tweet to find the answers. As always, the comments are open for you to add your thoughts.

Next Live Tweet will mark our one month anniversary of tweeting lost live from the beginning. Its been and will continue to be ... awesome!


#LOST #WFTB Tweet-Cap for LOST #115 "Homecoming" LiveTweet (read top to bottom) #s1e15

justinkeyes:Intro shot: Charlie "Living Is Easy With Eyes Closed" Pace

nyakototo:I'm in!

batchoutlost:Wet and Wild Jungle action from the GetGo!

ZachsMind:OK pressed play. Might help in the future if we coordinate better. LOL

islandscientist:It's interesting how Locke still calls Jack "doctor."

Psifen:How can we make Claire look dead... no make-up...

VivaLaSara:@justinkeyes That's one of my favorite tattoos. I'm thinking about getting it, Beatles AND Lost reference!

nyakototo:Safe? Maybe not.

Sefus:It's interesting how Locke still calls Jack "doctor." (via @islandscientist) I noticed that. Seems strange.

Sefus:Who are you people? (claire) This is creepy!

ccollinsmith:Is a freaky moment when Claire doesn't recognize ANYbody. Brain resets to the crash.

justinkeyes:I was worried about Claire's amnesia the first time around, but it worked out better than I thought it would.

HapiBnBusiMom:Rebooting PC; I'll be back!

nancymk:I guess that she was drugged?

ZachsMind:How do make up artists make a woman ugly and beautiful at the same time? Do they take classes for this?

MollyFaraday:Locke in the shadows again...half illuminated

batchoutlost:Claire freaking out like a trapped polar bear right now! Does she not remember because she flashed? Nah it's trauma. Ethan=CrazedWolf

Psifen:The whole Charlie/Claire thing creeps me out, Charlie just seems so stalker-ish with her.

ZachsMind:"If it's been almost a month why hasn't anybody come to get us?" Cuz you're LOST! Duh. *smirk*

justinkeyes:"Who is he, Ethan?" Well, there's a season 1 answer and a season 5 answer...

nyakototo:Define your terms Charlie.

Fourgasm:@justinkeyes And a Season 3 answer....

ccollinsmith:@ZachsMind - Eye makeup. That sunken eyed look. Had a field day with it in this ep - later with Charlie.

VivaLaSara:Haha, I love Claire "We're friends?" Just the way she says it...

nyakototo:@Psifen That's why I have never been a fan.

ZachsMind:The Locke/Boone scene seemed kinda jarring. What was that about? Seems out of place.

batchoutlost:This Charlie/Claire scene is channeling the CW demographic LOL. Claire as has many questions as Locke has flame-lit grins

MollyFaraday:"Ethan's the bad guy."

nelly061:always been a big fan of Claire. Ethan looked so creepy you'd think he was Tom Cruise's cousin or somethin

ccollinsmith:ET @justinkeyes "Who is he, Ethan?" Well, there's a season 1 answer and a season 5 answer...

VivaLaSara:@justinkeyes "Who is Ethan?" can be summed up to "Creepy scumbag"

lostdogs10:C&C Make a cute couple

justinkeyes:"You all everybody! You all everybody! Acting like you stupid people wearing expensive clothes." Still want a full-length copy.

Sefus:You all everybody!

batchoutlost:"Why hasn't anybody come to get us?" "We got picked up for a FULL SEASON, open ended!" - Show Runners. YouAllEverybody interlude!

MollyFaraday:Latin! wow Charlie is a scholar, or an other hahag

nyakototo:He is. *LOL* Wait, I got the joke, right?

VivaLaSara:Chill baby brother

nyakototo:@nelly061 He is. *LOL* Wait, I got the joke, right?

lostdogs10:@Sefus I turned the sound during the song.

nancymk:Ethan is really creapy in this episode!!

ccollinsmith:@MollyFaraday LOL on Other/Latin reference

VivaLaSara:Gotta admit, Ethan has skill....

nyakototo:I think you are wrong about that Charlie.

batchoutlost:Charlie, you big hearted shrimp! Jin put off by charlie's nattering. Is he high right now? (Random Monster Sound, nah it's death man)

VivaLaSara:RT @nancymk Ethan is really creapy in this episode!! // Isn't he creepy in every episode? lol.

MollyFaraday:Annyoung! Arrested Development holla!

islandscientist:The first time I watched this episode, I wondered if Ethan was even human. Just turns out that Charlie is easily defeated.

justinkeyes:Oh, creepy Ethan. Yeah, I agree with Charlie and Jack. Let's go kill him!

Sefus:Yeah. Ethan is pretty badass.

restartt:I'M MISSING LOST . This isn't the epic Ethan episode, sadly.

nancymk:Locke doesn't want to kill Ethan because ???? (who is in control?)

nyakototo:@islandscientist The Others seem trained in fighting. To kill.

VivaLaSara:@islandscientist RT I wondered if Ethan was even human // I thought the same! He is very robotic with his actions...

batchoutlost:Charlie is soo NOT UFC material! LOL Is Ethan a Death Reaver? Evil minion. Killing one a day would have eliminated the whole cast :P

nyakototo:@islandscientist I thought the same thing about Ethan.

ccollinsmith:I'm guessing Claire. RT @LOST_WFTB where did Ethan get the cat scratches?

justinkeyes:@LOST_WFTB Didn't he get the scratches from Claire? I can't remember.

Sefus:where did Ethan get the cat scratches? (via @LOST_WFTB) I would imagine Claire. Maybe.. Polar bear?

nyakototo:Double standards Jin.

islandscientist:"The others" is said a lot in this episode.

batchoutlost:@LOST_WFTB I think the CGI is a result of the Island Madness that occurs with no other filming locations left Charlie, Makin'Copies!

VivaLaSara:THIS IS MY 815th tweet! I'm spending it well, with my buddies. Thanks for putting out great ideas, and listening to mine.

ZachsMind:So Charlie was a conman, but he wasn't the brains of the outfit back in Manchester. Sheds more light on S2's "Long Con"

islandscientist:@nyakototo It seems that they're trained to fight without killing as well.

justinkeyes:@JeffSays No, it's the one where Claire comes back from being kidnapped by Ethan. Charlie has the flashbacks.

nelly061:oh this is the one where he vomits in the copier. Hilarious!

islandscientist:@justinkeyes No, Claire still liked Ethan the entire time until Rousseau led her back.

nyakototo:@islandscientist Hahaha, that seems to be true.

Sefus:I remember the flahbacks used to confuse the he'll out of me. Heh. Now I'm always looking for something.

ZachsMind:Ethan's less intimidating now that I know he's a Doc like Jack. He seemed more superhuman before, but he's just better.

HapiBnBusiMom:Guys, I'm outta here; ABC.com player not working for me tonight in IE or FireFox Standard or HD versions. Have fun! :-(

MollyFaraday:I understand Charlie wanting to protect Claire, but keeping her COMPLETELY in the dark....not the greatest idea

ccollinsmith:@ZachsMind Charlie is a very bad con man. And a bad thief. He's really just a junkie trying to pay for his next fix.

justinkeyes:I love how Locke's "maybe..." theories usually turn out to be correct.

nyakototo:@MollyFaraday I agree.

batchoutlost:"Untrained Hands" Yeah Kate you Bank-Robbin' Badass! Kate: If I grow a mango tree, will you come and shimmy up it?

islandscientist:@justinkeyes I didn't catch him saying "maybe." Which one are you referring to?

ZachsMind:Kate says to Jack "Locke told us what happened." One of those few times when Losties actually DO share information.

ZachsMind:Jack telling Kate that the guns could lead to people shooting each other in the jungle? AnaLucia/Shannon: prophetic.

lostdogs10:@ZachsMind Wasn't Charlie's brother the leader of Drive Shaft?

nyakototo:I didn't know your band was the important thing in the world Charlie.

ccollinsmith:@MollyFaraday "Wanting to protect" is very big theme with Charlie throughout his entire arc. Doesn't always make best decisions tho.

Psifen:Does every character in Lost at some point in their life try to be a con man?

justinkeyes:@islandscientist Oh, right. I had forgotten that.

ZachsMind:Agreed. Charlie's never been good at being the leader, but when Desmond points down... Charlie follows through.

justinkeyes:@islandscientist Locke mentioned that maybe Ethan wasn't alone.

MollyFaraday:Charlie is so bitter towards Liam. Problems with royalties, abandonment, and drug issues. aww Baby Brotha

VivaLaSara:@ccollinsmith Charlie has very good intentions though, he pulls some Don Quixotics

islandscientist:So, Ethan came on the Galaga submarine, right? Which would mean a whole crew of others was working with him.

nelly061:hah! Boone ur so useless, the last thing he did of value was finding those pens in the pilot

lostdogs10:Way to go Boone, all he had to do was keep his eyes open

justinkeyes:Ethan killed Steve, er, Scott! You bastard!

VivaLaSara:@justinkeyes Locke seems to clue in on the future, I wonder if it's solely because he's smart....

batchoutlost:Not bad Locke, already have a Security System set up, eh? Too bad the others leave no footprints. Ethan just confirmed his badassery

ZachsMind:...and Boone drops the ball.

nyakototo:@LOST_WFTB I think there is something up with Vincent. Obvious, right?

VivaLaSara:I want Hurley to do my funeral service.

nyakototo:Because you are talking to her Claire.

Sefus:Sorry I kept calling you Steve, man. (Hurley at a funeral) love Hurley.

nyakototo:Yes you can Claire.

Psifen:Why would you keep me in the dock Charlie? I'm already in the dock.

justinkeyes:@LOST_WFTB Well, in their defense, they learned a lot because of their failure. Unfortunately for Scott, it cost him.

ccollinsmith:@MollyFaraday Liam used Charlie & then used him up like junkies do. At least he reached out (too late) when Charlie went to Sidney.

ZachsMind:So it wasn't really Boone's fault? Since Ethan used the water?

ZachsMind:And thus begins the Steve/Scott feud.

MollyFaraday:Did ya have a nice sleep Captain America? jk jk love you boone!

batchoutlost:The Hanging of Charlie was either a Smokey Biscut or a way for Ethan to kill indirectly. Claire's Already in the Dark (SPOOKY)

ZachsMind:By this point it must have seemed they were having funerals every other day.

islandscientist:@ZachsMind I guess Vincent tripped the trap thing?

nyakototo:You are such a jerk Charlie.

VivaLaSara:Charlie is the worst criminal ever, he took all day to take Churchill's thingy....

lostdogs10:@ZachsMind He could have used a tunnel.

ccollinsmith:@LOST_WFTB I guess if you want to play 7 Samurai it's a good idea to have a REAL warrior leading the planning.

ZachsMind:What did he keep her in the dark about? Did I miss a step?

nyakototo:@batchoutlost Ohh, I like you what said about Claire. So true!

islandscientist:@lostdogs10 Yeah, there could have been a tunnel entrance out near that shore.

nancymk:"Scared idiots with sharp sticks" sez Locke- how accurate at the time for the Losties!

MollyFaraday:Frick Charlie looks so damn cute in a suit... but withdrawl is doing quite a number on him

islandscientist:@ZachsMind He didn't tell her about Ethan's threat at all.

ccollinsmith:I wonder if Charlie's need to protect comes from his disappointment over Liam never protecting him.

nyakototo:Cheshire grin.

Psifen:Jack looked like he had second thoughts about giving Locke the gun after Locke answered if he had ever used a gun.

islandscientist:@ccollinsmith I think it just comes from Lucy saying that he could never take care of anyone.

nancymk:Does anyone think that at this point Locke knew how to use a gun?

batchoutlost:Another Deus Machina that Boone Helped Out With! I WONDER if Charlie used a gun with his shady (ALFIE-look alike) con pal?

Sefus:Claire is pretty ballzy acting as bait. Screw that. Just give me a gun!

ZachsMind:This was painful to watch the first time, seeing Charlie digging himself further in.. But it's not so bad knowing.. well.

nyakototo:@Psifen Or he was thinking 'show-off' *LOL*

MollyFaraday:"Why doctor, you've been holding out on us" hah then the grin of the century

Psifen:Copy machine sales pitch by Charlie the druggie.... so embarrassing.

nyakototo:Charlie looks dead. Yuck.

lostdogs10:ha ha Locke and load,

VivaLaSara:This copier scene is painful for me, I feel so embarrassed for him...

ZachsMind:"Scared idiots w/sharp sticks." And now the guns are introduced into the mix. A bad variable, and yet a constant too.

batchoutlost:Charlie still doing a better job than my local Kinkos' routinely did :) Give that man a towel! GEEZ!

Sefus:"Scared idiots w/sharp sticks." And now the guns are introduc... Read More: http://is.gd/12XWB

Psifen:How come when Sawyer killed the polar bear they didnt serve up some bear steaks?

ZachsMind:"Why doctor you've been holding out on us." I love how O'Quinn delivers his dialogue. He's the coolest geek ever. LOL

ccollinsmith:@islandscientist Would have to disagree in that Charlie also wanted to take care of Lucy. The need to protect preceded her comment.

nyakototo:Tell me something I don't know Kate.

MollyFaraday:LOVELOVELOVE this scene, but you just feel so bad. Even with the chill hawaiin music hahaha

nancymk:@batchoutlost withdrawal- he should have gotten help at that time.

VivaLaSara:"I know atleast one polar bear seems to think so" God, Sawyer is hilarious...

ZachsMind:I mean Terry O'Quinn portrays Locke as a very cool ubergeek. I don't know if he's personally a geek.

ccollinsmith:@ZachsMind O'Quinn rocks. But Emerson's an equally cool geek. And they're great together.

nyakototo:I need to be a hero. Waah.

MollyFaraday:aww Sawyer in his blue shirt "bygons" hahah

batchoutlost:Armed, Kate's officially now part of the LOOP, (dude)!

justinkeyes:@ZachsMind They were confusing Scott and Steve earlier ("White Rabbit" maybe?).

VivaLaSara:Corny storm cloud view....

nyakototo:Ethan looked like he came out of the earth.

Psifen:Damn Ethan looked hella creepy when he popped out of there!

ccollinsmith:RT @ZachsMind "Scared idiots w/sharp sticks." And now the guns are introduced into the mix. A bad variable, and yet a constant too.

MollyFaraday:A-Team meeting!

Sefus:Pregnant lady be chased by a crazed maniac in the jungle. Nice going morons.

ZachsMind:Actually this scene where Dominic Monaghan is playing an addict trying to operate a copier? Inspired comedic work. =)

MollyFaraday:hotdamn Ethan, peeking up outta there made me shiver

ZachsMind:J: "Yeah I remember you shot him. and missed." S: "Well. Bygones."

Psifen:GOSH DARNIT CHARLIE! Again I ask... will someone please start throwing rocks at Charlie...

nancymk:Ethan and Jack mud wrestling AGAIN

nyakototo:Thank you Charlie. Damn it all.

justinkeyes:Nice job, Charlie!

MollyFaraday:Jungle boy!

lostdogs10:This the team I would want on my side,

ZachsMind:Claire walking out in the rain reminds me of the Jurassic Park scene where they put a goat out to lure the TRex..

VivaLaSara:Haha "jungle boy". Go charlie! That creepy scumbag needed a few holes in 'em.

batchoutlost:Charlie has gotta be imagining either his pub friend or his evil brother when he 6-shoots Ethan! Ana Lucia would approve.Save Claire!

nyakototo:@ZachsMind *LMFAO*

Fourgasm:@justinkeyes Are you condoning "an eye for an eye"?

Sefus:I like how Charlie just unloads on Ethan. 4-5 shots ought to do it.

MollyFaraday:Yay Charlie. I agree with what you did. Especially now that we know who Jungle Boy really was

ZachsMind:I haven't gotten to the point yet where Charlie kills Ethan yet. Can't remember how he gets the gun. LOL

ccollinsmith:Wonder if Jack wd have used sister as bait if had known... RT @Sefus Pregnant lady be chased by a crazed maniac in the jungle.

ZachsMind:Ah.. Jack. That's how. =)

justinkeyes:Poor Charlie. That scene with Lucy is rough.

VivaLaSara:It's probably good Charlie killed Ethan. Even if they did get info, they would have gone to check it out, and get shot up by Others

batchoutlost:@LOST_WFTB Nice, and Rare to have such a quick reveal: Charlie:Gun?Gun.

Psifen:I kinda agree with what Charlie said about how Ethan wouldn't have talked, but then i remember that Sayid exists.

ccollinsmith:@ZachsMind Jack's gun goes flying into the mud.

islandscientist:The first time watching this, I disagreed with Charlie's action some, because I wanted answers. Now, I think better of it.

MollyFaraday:Shut your face Lucy. stupid mean woman.

Sefus:You'll neva take care of anyone, Charlie. You junkie!!

islandscientist:@ZachsMind Jack drops his gun before jumping on Ethan. Charlie takes that one.

nyakototo:@VivaLaSara Yes... yes. I don't know why I wished for another sort of something before he got shot.

VivaLaSara:@MollyFaraday Stupid mean MOOSE, you mean. Lol.

justinkeyes:@Fourgasm Ethan strung up Charlie and left him for dead. Payback isn't fickle like destiny, but it's still a bitch.

VivaLaSara:Claire's bruises went *poof*

Psifen:Bad Robot!

nyakototo:@islandscientist That's what I struggle with.

MollyFaraday:Okay so im such a nerd: If a guy gave me peanut butter, i think that would be one of the most romantic things in the world.

ccollinsmith:I don't think they would have gotten any useful info from Ethan. Others very good at revealing little to nothing - and at MISleading

Sefus:Great episode!! I'll be reading about this. You guys have great ideas. See you Wednesday hopefully!

ZachsMind:I wonder.. if Charlie didn't kill Ethan, that would have changed things.. Would Charlie still be alive?

MollyFaraday:@VivaLaSara Stupid mean Lucy Moosey.

VivaLaSara:@MollyFaraday I gave my friend a jar of imaginary peanut butter when she graduated

justinkeyes:Another great episode, people! I might be watching "Outlaws" on Blu-Ray next time around.

VivaLaSara:@MollyFaraday Stupid mean Lucy Moosey. // LMAO.

ZachsMind:"You'll never take care of anyone." Well that's more bittersweet now than it was on first viewing.

ZachsMind:Weird how Hurley's presence in this ep is so peripheral considering the friendship Charlie and he would develop later.

nancymk:@ZachsMind As a drug addict that is true. Once he got clean, he really wanted to take care of Claire

VivaLaSara:Well, good watch tonight. I'm going to watch True Blood (new addiction) and go to bed. Last day tomorrow!

MollyFaraday:@VivaLaSara I want imaginary peanut butter! and a DS ring, and a full length "You All Everybody" on my ipod

lostdogs10:Good shipper momentts with Claire and Charlie and good fight with Jack and Ethan.

VivaLaSara:@nancymk I think he wants to improve his karma

islandscientist:@justinkeyes Nice. I don't mind lower quality for these, though, since I spend more time on twitter than watching.

ZachsMind:Well when characters aren't needed, the writers usu. don't bring them in. Yet they felt a need to keep Hurley visible.

lostdogs10:@ZachsMind I think Charlie was always fated to die but not until he had to complete his purpose.

MollyFaraday:Through it all, I love Charlie. That is all.

VivaLaSara:@MollyFaraday Here's your imaginary peanut butter | | < --- crappy jar. And just imagine a full length You All Everybody

ZachsMind:@islandscientist @ccollinsmith Thanks. I figured that out, about Jack dropping the gun. Not very wise on his part.

ZachsMind:I disagree that Charlie did the right thing. Ethan did not need to get shot. Jack's right. He was more valuable alive.

batchoutlost:Jack: Never Leave A Gun Behind! +1 to Man2. Was Ethan's murder to even the Dead Count?Desperate ploy 4 Claire?or No way to hold him ?

MollyFaraday:@VivaLaSara hahahaha Thankyou! A dream come true!

lostdogs10:@ZachsMind Jack probably wanted pay back from the last fight.

ZachsMind:@lostdogs10 The argument of faith vs free will is as old as the argument of man of science man of faith. =)

nelly061:they shouldve shot a scene w/ Jacob giving Churchill that cigarette case HAH!

ZachsMind:Either that, or as we learn in Flashes Before Your Eyes, maybe some events would have only been postponed..

nyakototo:@ZachsMind I apply that to a future scene with Jack and Ben.

ZachsMind:Ethan could have behaved similarly to how Ben (Henry) behaved in S2. Maybe some events would have transpired sooner..?

ccollinsmith:@ZachsMind Def not wise to lose the gun - but Jack had a personal vendetta to attend to and just wanted to get very physical on Ethan

lostdogs10:@ZachsMind Hawking told Desmond the universe has a way of course correcting so in this season it wasn't his time,

justinkeyes:@Fourgasm Considering "what Kate did," I'm sure she'll back up Charlie. ;)

ccollinsmith:Well it's been fun you all everbody! Hope to catch you for "Outlaws" on Wednesday. One of my favorite s1 episodes!

ZachsMind:@lostdogs10 re 'course correcting' I happen to agree w/her but it's an interesting What If to explore.

ZachsMind:Also interesting to note now that we know Desmond was Faraday's Constant, that Hawking made a point to visit him.

ZachsMind:Hawking's appearance in Desmond's life at the jeweler's makes more sense now that we know she's Faraday's mom.

nyakototo:@ZachsMind I feel the same way about Charlie. I disagree with his action.

ZachsMind:@ccollinsmith re: Jack & the gun, not a good strategic move. In hindsight he should have secured the gun w/Sayid B4

ZachsMind:forgot the hashtags & sent that prev @ccollinsmith msg w/o em lol fixed!

nyakototo:@LOST_WFTB Vincent always comes in the most opportune moment.

Fourgasm:@justinkeyes But she isn't the "leader" and she was on her way to prison.

lostdogs10:Ethan in the episode had a weird animal like stance most of the time.

nyakototo:@LOST_WFTB Vincent always comes in at the most opportune moment.

ZachsMind:I wish they woulda used Vincent more often. He seemed to be more present in the 1st 2 seasons. I understand why but still

ccollinsmith:@ZachsMind Oh totally agree wrt gun. Didn't have enough characters to say the vendetta part kept him from thinking it through.

ZachsMind:Agreed re: Ethan's animal stance. He did appear rather feral in this episode, moreso than prev eps.

ZachsMind:Seemed the director/producers/whatever wanted us to think him superhuman, but he just was smart & ruthless. Driven.
