Lost (TV show)

One thing that's strange - Desmond said to Jack "What if she's fixed?"
And now I've just thought - in the episode where Jack keeps thinking he's seen his father, Locke says something very similar - "But what if it's possible?"

And this 'brother' thing - there must be some reason behind it. Does Jack have another relation to Desmond that he doesn't even know about?
 
Two words to describe the show LOST.

STU-PID!

They made it out like some monster was on the island, only to find out its not. It's humans, I quit watching it after the first season, got tired of all the nonsense.

Now HOUSE is a good show!

I think there might have been copyright issues that cropped up later which weren't considered originally.

Interesting. Maybe someone with the DVD set can see whether it's been blurred on there too.
 
The show does seem to be getting a little more preposterous. I can only take so many twists and turns before the plot becomes a pile of gooey spaghetti.

Its funny, When I heard the premis for that show I felt sick. Just what we needed was another doctor show. I swore if I heard stat, freeze, or objection one more time my head was going to explode.

But that show is either one of if not the best shows on television. I cannot belevie how well Hugh Laurie can pull off a flawless american accent, speak his lines with such conviction, and walk with a limp.

Best. Actor. Ever.
 
oh, i forgot to mention this. may have no relevance wahtsoever but there was a logo on the toolbox (i think it was that) and it was also repeated on Desmonds jacket. looked very much like a feng shui compass, with a little design inside possibly.

here's a typical compass....

In case there weren't enough reasons to watch...

In all the madness, there will be some love on the island this season.

"We're in the 9 o'clock slot now," Andrews said, referring to the show's new time. "Men and women alone on the island, they have needs. Needs that must be fulfilled."

Hmmm.... From that article:
I think there's this sort of interesting American conceit, 'Everybody else on the planet should speak English,"' co-creator Damon Lindelof said. "The fact that there are people who don't speak English, we sort of demand they adapt to us, as opposed to the other way around.

As we all know, Sun Kwon speaks English. And so does Danielle Rousseau. I guess American conceit saw to it.

That's funny because English is from England, not America :rolleyes:

*prepares for "the language Americans speak is not English by any stretch of the imagination" argument* :p

No, no. In England they speak Anglish, because the language resulted from the invasion of the Angles who invaded with the Saxons in, um, I forget. The 5th century?

Then again, why don't Americans (Canadians, USians, Mexicans, Nicaraguans, Brazilians, etc.) speak "American"? :confused:

Hey now, I don't consider myself an American for living in Canada, and I bet Mexicans, Nicaraguans, Brazilians, etc wouldn't like it either.

And yes, I know you didn't mean it like that, but it's just another annoying American generalization.

There was an episode of Married With children where Al had to take the drivers test. Mr Marcy(can't remember the name) was helping. He asked Al about trailer hitches. Al said thats never on the test. He goes to take the test and is asked "English or Spanish." He said that he is an American, and wants to take the test in American. The examiner pulled out a dusty test looked at it and said that he hoped Al knew trailer hitches...
 
For those who didn't record it, the first episode will be rebroadcast the hour before the second episode on Wednesday. You can watch that great opening scene again.
 
I played around at www.oceanic-air.com some more tonite and found a hidden video clip from the climax episode from last season. It starts with this image:

Episode 2.02

Spoilers for people who didn't see yet.. highlight below to see:

Did anyone else notice that the shark on its underside or something had that strange logo found on all of Desmond's stuff in the hatch?

Michelle Rodriguez makes her first appearance next week... yay! :)

Even though Desmond kept using "brother" with Locke, I still felt that Desmond also remembered who Jack was when he moved his face so Jack could see...
 
Since its the next morning I decided to unhide it.

I only saw that on my second time through the show. (I love direcTV. I get to watch it on NY time and LA time) :)

I wish I could remember what one snowman said to the other snowman?

Google suggests its "Do you smell carrots?"

no wonder Desmond is a bit whacked. He can never get more than an hour and a half of sleep at a time.

Too bad he can't upgrade his computer - cron scripts or Automator might be able to help with that.

Oh, in case no one else caught it... the name in the logo on all of Desmond's stuff was "DHARMA".

So is there another logo that says "GREG"?

Seriously though, I wonder what the acronym stands for? Or is it something to do with Buddhism?

Interesting.. here's a defintion of "dharma":

Hinduism & Buddhism.
-The principle or law that orders the universe.
-Individual conduct in conformity with this principle.
-The essential function or nature of a thing.
-Hinduism. Individual obligation with respect to caste, social custom, civil law, and sacred law.
-Buddhism.
-The body of teachings expounded by the Buddha.
-Knowledge of or duty to undertake conduct set forth by the Buddha as a way to enlightenment.
-One of the basic, minute elements from which all things are made.

Lowercase "dharma" might be a religious reference, but I'm guessing that DHARMA in all caps is an acronym for a government program, like DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).

My theory (subject to frequent change without notice):

There's a government plan to study a tropical disease (and whether it has military uses, if the plot follows convention). The disease, known only by its assigned code numbers, affects polar bears and sharks, and the effects on humans were being monitored from below ground by a research team with a multi-year food and energy supply. It's been going on for many years, since the days of LP records, but the project staff, other than Desmond, were infected and he's now stuck there with his old equipment. His communication system doesn't work, and he's paranoid about the people he knows are on the island ("the others") since they were infected, and in fact might have been brought there as research subjects.

Even more out-on-a-limb: Perhaps the equipment generates a huge magnetic field, as seen with Jack's key, and when focused it can bring down an airliner. In which case Locke was right that the island brought them there.
