I liked the commercials better than the show tonite. Watching our favorite cast members as prisoners isn't particularly entertaining, at least not for me. After the quick opening scene, which was great, I felt like I was just marking time, waiting for them to tell us something interesting.

Which they never did. Additionally, it seemed like there were more commercials more often.

The commercials are more frequent, the episode ends early just so they can cram a promo for next week in, and they've given up on cliffhangers and all the subtle touches that made the show interesting.

Last night the decision was made to only watch lost on Tivo an hour after it begins airing. Maybe apple should use Lost in it's iTV ads... "Watch Lost, No Commercials."

It's all a failed roving Disney land. Think about it....

1. The four toed statue was going to be a "tropics" Mickey with sandals and surfer shorts.

2. The monorail magnet got a bit out of hand causing the necessity of the button.

3. The Peter Pan ride had a wrecked "Black Rock" (Captain Hook's ship) with real dynamite.

4. The Others are simply the employees who finally snapped after hearing "It's a Small World" for the billionth time.

5. It explains the infatuation with the kids.

6. The Others' costumes are left over from rides/characters.

7. The hatches could all be named for Disney movies/themes "Curse of the Black Pearl" and such....

8. Finally : Who owns ABC again?

yeah this 'sode was ok. i loved the beggining. i remember first saying "holy crap is ethan the plumber!?!"... *sigh* good times..

the flashbacks sucked. it never showed any denouement to finding out that it wasn't his old man.

i really expected a good portion of the episode to be devoted to what feels like the next episode is going to be for. for catching up with sayid, sun, jin, and hurley. also it would have been nice to see a little of what happened with the hatch and the other side of the island.

but now we see a lot of explanations emerging from some of the wierder things on the island. the polar bears, the shark with the dharma logo..

craazy

wow.. can't believe how many ppl didn't like this 1st episode of the 3rd season..

i thought it was pretty good..

lots of new storylines to come out of it.. tale of 2 cities indeed!!

jacks flashbacks were a bit crappy tho..
 
I kind of think LOST has become too spread out for its own good. There are so many parallel storylines going on that it is taking away from the show. When it started it was interesting because there were always un-answered questions you wanted to know the solutions to, but then they kept stretching it, and stretching it and now we have numerous people and stories spread out all over and between that fact, the excess commercials and the month-long breaks they take in the season, the show is losing some of its flow (which thereby makes it less captivating).
 
I can't believe they are actually going to take a hiatus and restart the damn show in February...

I like the show, but its become almost painful to watch...

Thank God for my DVR.

Have there been any updates to the bogus web sites?

Noo, remember this whole thing is Hurley's dream... they already told us that last season!
Click to expand...

You are correct. I stand corrected.

In fact, wasn't Hurley eating chicken and watching an old Bob Newhart at his house in one of his flashbacks? The plot thickens:confused: :p
 
Seriously, if they don't answer some IMPORTANT questions this season, I'm done.
I mean **** people! There's still unanswered questions from season 1, why are they creating new questions now?
What did we learn? His name is Ben. La-de-freaking-da. :rolleyes:
 
I liked the episode a lot. Just like the other seasons, the opening was great. This episode alone opened up a few more mysteries to solve. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Jack, Kate and Sayid escape (most likely with the help of their friends). And I really like the girl Juliet. I can see her and Jack becoming closer, thought is she related to Ben in anyway? They kind of act like they're married. Also what ever happened to Michael and Walt? Did they actually make it back home safely? I really want to see how that turned out. And of course all the other characters... what are they doing?

Another season brings many questions! :D
 
Meh.

Not a great start. So many damn commercials...it's hard to follow the story.

Never mind that ABC HD wasn't coming in right on Directv so I had to watch the stretched out standard cable version and cry about how pixely it was on the huge TV. :p
 
Sure seemed like to to me.

I have both the season finale (s2) and the season opener (s3) on TiVo and will compare tonight.

How do you get HD regular channels from DirecTV? Are you in a big market?

Ah, nevermind:

Austin, Cincinnati, Greensboro, Las Vegas, Madison, Memphis, Portland ME, Portland OR, Providence, Reno, San Antonio
 
I wonder if "Unlocking the Meaning of Lost: An Unauthorized Guide" by Lynnette Porter and David Lavery was ever one of the book club books?

I wonder if the town we saw is named Otherville? That's better than Bentown.

Actually it's Sawyer, not Sayid. Until they escape, I hope the story focus switches to other characters and anything more interesting, such as what Hurley had for lunch.

Another season brings many questions! :D

Wasn't there a lady on the phone with two guys in a plane? Nawww, I guess I just dreamt that.

NOOOOOOOOO! For some reason my tivo didnt record Lost last night. I got home nice and late, ready to relax, have some snacks and absorb the season premier. But alas, no Lost in my recordings. Dont know what happened, but I guess now is as good a time as any to test out the iTunes TV downloads.:mad:
 
Oh.. and did anyone catch what book they were reading?
The sexy hostess was holding a Stephen King novel.. for some reason I just assumed it was The Stand.
 
Eh....?

I have come into the "Lost-addiction" pretty late, so I downloaded all Season 1 and 2 episodes, and watched them all in about a fortnight.

So, I have been waiting impatiently for about 4 weeks now for this episode to come out.
Waited for it to be aired in the US, and grab it off the web without the commercials. :D

But.... eh....?

The island may not be an island, but just a peninsula?
Jack's father is not such a bitch?
Ben is in charge of the Dharma initiative?
Trinity has got long blonde hair? :)D )
Was that guy who helped Sawyer escape just a setup?
Doesn't Kate look cute in that dress? (knowing she can't be waring that much underneath... :p )

The same ol' addicting trouble with Lost:
You watch the episode hoping for some answers, but getting treated to some more questions....
So addicting, yet so annoying at times.

Show being aired next week same time?

EDIT:
Just occured to me....
Aren't you lot also starting to realise that most charcaters we know have done something bad, and have gone to jail?
We don't know about all of them, ofcourse, but as even Jack has been put behind bars.... :rolleyes: hmmm.....

Yeah, that's what I meant. I don't know what I was thinking... :eek:

Edit: Doctor Q, yeah what happened to that? Was that Desmond's girlfriend?
 
yeah it was Desmond's girlfriend, and I expected something about that! That was the coolest thing the show did all last season and they probably won't get back to it for a month :rolleyes:
