Lost (TV show)

[Doctor Q]

i much prefer a good girl who wants to be bad...

Then don't miss Alias when it starts. The promo they are running has the heroine (Sydney Bristow, played by Jennifer Garner) being interrogated by a bad guy and then "taking decisive action" against him. The show is more action-oriented than Lost, but both have gradual plot revelations and great twists.

i tried to get into alias but it just didn't grab me. i'm am, however, very into jennifer garner. i was lucky enough to sit next to her at a dinner party a while back. with her glasses on she kinda looked like one of those hot bookish chicks that works at barnes and noble. works for me...

WOW... How did you arrange that??
Details please...

I wanted to watch Alias, but I'm limited on TV time and restricted to shows my wife 'approves'. I know, I'm whipped. Dooooh, I hate it when that happens.

haha, i feel for ya bud. it was actually my girlfriend that got me into alias at the beginning of season 3...i liked it so i said, let's not watch any more, until we've watched it all from the beginning of season 1, so we're all caught up now and extremely excited about January 5th!

it's just kinda the bizarre element of living in l.a. everyone goes to the store, the post office, has kids...just normal stuff. you meet people and it never comes up what they do. someone has a dinner party and you end up next to someone who's career is taking off. btw, i didn't know who she was at the time...my wife had to clue me in later after the party.

at last Lost is back after way too long an absence....

i set my TiVo to record, and we were going to start watching it half an hour late so we could fast forward through the commercials....we go to start watching it, and the freakin' cable box had decided to turn itself off!!!! so we missed the first half!! i was soooo pissed as i'd been looking forward to Lost and Alias for ages!

damn cable!!! it's not the first time it's happened either, it happened on a different box in Brooklyn...anyone else ever had their cable box turn off out of the blue before??? (it was fine again once i pressed the power button)

It was a good one, you got to find a lot out about Kate. It's shady, but you can download the episode of bittorrent.. the avi's are usually better, but some arse has decided to start encoding at 24 frames/sec instead of 30, so video is a little choppy

 

[rickvanr]

I'm just watching last night's Lost, and it got me wondering.. how come the guys haven't started growing more then just scruff... and the girl are still squeaky clean

I was thinking the exact same thing last night. But us Americans don't generally enjoy the whole hairy armpit thing on women. Plus, I imagine they managed to scrounge some Bic razors from the toiletry bags.

 

[SilentPanda]

There was plenty of luggage on the plane and most likely many razors. I'm pretty sure they could manage being cleanish shaven.

If you can't find the episode on video, go here for a synopsis.

 

[MacDawg]

One of the better episodes, I thought.

Moving around the characters keeps things interesting because you don't get too focused on one or two of them (though Jack and Kate are standards).

I think the casting in particular has been excellent.

Woof, Woof - Dawg

What could possibly make the tide keep moving up the beach abnormally, which seemed to be why they all had to move further inland? That was a little far-fetched. My guess: polar waterbears.

It's not really an island, but an alien lab/observation post. The power source used to maintain the post's stability in the water has been leaking, which is what caused the plane to crash and some of the "miraculous" recoveries, such as with Locke and potentially Jack's dad (what was up with the empty coffin, anyway?).

As a result, the "island" is destabilizing and is starting to sink slightly; so what they think is the tide rising is really the island sinking.

Okay, maybe that's a little far-fetched as well...

Seems reasonable enough as it is a Sci/Fi...

Interesting idea there. It would give ABC the ability to bring back the mini-series format if and when Lost has reached its end.

because they have hair and makeup people to handle that stuff...

tv people don't use the bathroom either.

great episode btw. kate's a bad girl. i'm beginning to like bad girls.

LOVE Kate... but she isn't as bad as she pretends to be methinks. We saw some of that tender side too. I think Evangeline Lilly has nothing but an upside as an actress. The other girl is cute, with great sex appeal, but she isn't a fully developed character like Kate is.

The island sinking isn't such a bad theory... and clearly there is something about the island that interacts with their minds... Locke walking, the polar bear/comic book, etc.

I had my doubts about the series, but I'm hooked.

Unless it's on NYPD Blue...

Perhaps something to do with the swimming scene... (avoids another squeaky clean comment - I'll let powermac666 do that for me)

 

[Nermal]

Yep, good episode, finally some backstory for Kate. I wonder what's going to happen regarding Sun listening in on the secret conversation.

Anyway, apparently next week's episode focusses on Shannon and Boone.

I sure am glad they're only step-siblings now! Very, uh, informative and makes a bit more sense about why she's so snotty all the time.

Anyone else see Sawyer fighting the police when Boone was in the Sydney police station? I thought it was interesting how Boone almost saw Sawyer.. but didn't catch his face.

Well, based on that whole thing about all of these characters are supposed to have some sort of underlying relationship, I was thinking maybe they all have a connecting back story. Just a thought.

Man, yesterday's episode was freaky. I suspected something was going on when there was no blood in the water right before they go to commercials. If you watch that little cut right before the commercial break where Boone is holding Shannon, you see there is no blood in the water from that angle.

Great episode for a great show.

 

[rickvanr]

haha yeah, I only saw the last half of the episode last night... and Boone and Shannon were getting it on, a little weird, I thought the whole sister/brother was a bogus story from the get go.. a little weird they were step siblings tho.. and Sawyer in the Sydney police station was awesome.. I had to go back and watch it again.

 

[jrv3034]

Yeah, great episode! Man, what the #@$%&! is that big monster thing?! And why didn't it eat Locke when it had the chance a few episodes back?

The whole step-siblings/lovers thing helps their bickering relationship make a lot of sense. Weird.

So, the island makes people see what they want? What they need? What they fear? A little of everything?

Cool show.
