You mean the flares? I'm pretty sure all aeroplanes have flares somewhere, to use in the case of a crash or other emergency. And guess what? It crashed. :rolleyes:

Hmmmmm, I work for a major US air carrier, and have never heard of these types of flares being carried on a domestic aircraft. I've checked with a lot of folks around her including pilots, and the consensus is that they aren't there. First of all, they are considered "dangerous goods" and would have to be regulated under strict guidelines. Second, they would have to be secured from access to anyone. Third, they surely wouldn't be bottle rockets! Now I know that this was supposed to be an International carrier, and not US, but still... I'm not sensing that this is in the realm of possibility. (not that anything else on the island is either!) :)

Its not a big deal, it just stuck out in my mind!

Anybody got experience with other carriers, and flares of this type being available on an aircraft??

I am not sure that I would like flying on an aircraft knowing bottle rockets were on board. :)

I am beginning to like certain aspects to Lost, and not others. I am starting to feel that this would have been done better as a November "sweeps" month "mini-series"; rather than a "year" long series.

Caught the episodes with the Korean couples "back story", and the drug addicted band member. Both very good stories, but worth my wading an hour for good material, I am having my doubts.

I am much preferring "Clubhouse". Some of us are pointing to the "real world" of Lost. And Clubhouse does not reflect real world either. At least it provides some "uplifting" hope. Not too mention so many story lines (as in Lost) it is hard for the casual viewer to just jump in and enjoy the show.

I hope that the rumors that I heard that Lost was a one season series is true. At least this way I know that I am half way through the pain of finding some finality to the show.
 
There are some good things and bad things about the show.

Some of the story line is good, but you are right, it does drag out at times. I also feel that if I miss once or twice, I'll be too far behind to catch up because I won't know the "secrets" that are revealed each week.

Kate is hot though. Don't care what she did.

For some reason, I think she and the crummy guy may have a past that is yet to be revealed.

Shows like Lost is causing problems in my house. My other half comes home from school or work, and wants to talk about their day during the show. Thanks for Cox DVR, I am able to rewind (like Tivo), though they find it rude when I pause or rewind to get the details on what was said.

I feel your pain!
My wife comes home every Wed night at 8:50... and she is unhappy because I don't come and meet her at the door and listen to all she has to say. Just 10 minutes, that's all I ask! Then I will give my undivided attention. Its tough to invest 50 minutes in a show, come to the very peak of interest and then have it ripped away. 10 minutes is all I ask!

LOL...

In our house they can come in at the start, and if I pause the DVR to listen to what they are saying they take offense. Or if I "rewind" to catch" something during their chat. Now that is "pain'.....

I hear you, especially with a show like Lost where the first 50 minutes is just a build up to the last 10. :p

But why would they get mad if you pause the show or rewind? Or why not just pause and then go talk to them for 15 minutes and come back. I know its the show sucks you in but why not do it at the 45 min. mark where there is always a commercial?

I am not sure that you have been with the same person for 12+ years. :D

It is a matter of respect I guess. If I came home with "tons" to talk about I would say so. In some relationships it is a sign of "disrespect" that you "pause" a show that you are watching. Sign of the times. Years ago, you had few options. Now you have shows that so much meaning in short passages, that the rest is fluff.

Or 27+ years!
You cannot give the slightest impression that any show is more important than small talk. You could lose ALL TV privileges :p

Now, we know the show is not more important than our significant other, but c'mon, just 10 minutes and its done! Its one of those loyalty check things, just to see how important they really are.
 
I missed this week's episode (long story - bad move with TiVo season pass manager resulted in a recording of Wednesday's "The Apprentice). Can anyone provide a brief synopsis of important points? I haven't been able to locate anyone I know who recorded it.

Thanks!
 
I think she has a bright future...

I really enjoy this show. I started watching about 6 episodes in, but I managed to get the past episodes and watch them over a weekend and I've been blown away. It's a really good show. It has a few familiar actors in it that I enjoy, great job casting.

I do wish they'd get back to explaining how there are polar bears on the island... and what is the thing on the island from the first few episodes.
 
My favorite character, Hurley, said his name isn't really Hurley, but that he won't tell why people call him that. What did THAT mean?

i was trying to think if Ethan Rom is an anagram or something.

It's certainly an odd name, so it just might be.

Let's see what shuffling the letters gives us...

To Herman - Maybe the show is dedicated to somebody.

Rah Monet - For fans of artist Claude.

More than - More than what??

Hate morn - The sun comes up pretty early on a beach.

Wait, I got it...

Hot Ramen - What the castaways really want most! :)

And if you want my serious guess, Ethan Rom is an anagram of other man.

haha, yeah he's funny. i was trying to think if Ethan Rom is an anagram or something. he's the one not on the manifest by the looks of it, but who knows!?

ethan rom=other man is the right answer.

i thought this weeks show was one of the better episodes.

and hurley sounds like the nickname you'd get after losing a drinking contest.

will we ever find out who won the golf bet?

and claire is fine, fine fine. kate's not bad either.

HEY... that's right, the golf bet!
I forgot about that!!

Kate's not bad either?????
Not bad!!! NOT BAD!!!!! :rolleyes:

I just don't want Sawyer near my Kate :(
I hated it when she kissed him :mad:,
but loved it when she busted him :D

But that won't last... to much tension to be milked from that one.
Besides, she has a dark side, and is a "bad girl" that wants to be good.
