Lost (TV show)

For what it's worth, I just listened to the Official LOST Podcast and learned that the affair between Sun and her teacher was in fact consummated.

...Wonder who's flashbacks we'll see this week. If it's Locke's I'll be on the edge of my seat.

It must be your lucky day because, according to the Podcast, that is exactly whose flashbacks we see.
 
Whoa!

OK, to be fair to the west-coasters I won't spoil the surprise, but we just had a huge connection revealed in one of Locke's flashbacks. :eek:
 
Trippy. So far it's better than the first 2 episodes. Isn't that the guy with the fake beard at the head of the table of John's "family"? Maybe that's why he needed the beard.

They should show less of the bear. It's bad CG.

Desmond can see the future?

See, now that's the kind of spoiler that I wouldn't reveal before the West Coast has a chance to see it. :rolleyes:
 
Still no answer to Locke's legs. They said this season. Wonder how long they're gonna keep playing with us. He's got a lot of people mad at him. Who would have thought from season 1 such a seemingly simple man would have so many potential enemies.

I bet when they finally do show what happened they won't leave us in suspense till the end of the episode. Just show us what happened at the begining of the episode then spend the rest of it showing us why it happened.

These threads all state clearly in the first post spoilers are okay on broadcast night east coast time. Read at your own risk.

The guy at the head of the table in John's flashbacks is not the same guy who wore the beard as one of the Others, and John's "flashback" to the airport was a hallucination -- so I'd take the Ben sighting with a grain of salt.

All in all, yet again another in a series of nonepisodes. I'm not sure why the writers are taking this approach to the show -- it's not going to win viewers, and some people will likely give up as a result, especially with the show going dark for several months.
 
some one please help me i get brutally confused when it comes to the polar bear! whats up with that?! a polar bear in the middle of an island?! ahhah does anyone no something i might have missed?

Yep, you're right. The actor who plays "Zeke" (a.k.a. Mr. Friendly) is M.C. Gainey, and the actor who played "Mike" in Locke's flashback tonight is Chris Mulkey. But when I saw "Mike" I could have sworn that it was the same guy -- it's a strong resemblance!

I think for now we're supposed to assume that the polar bear is a product of Dharma's past experiments.
 
Ditto on the whole similar looking actor thing... I was trying to figure that out myself.

As for Locke's hallucination, we certainly should take it with a grain of salt, but I would be surprised if the writers decided to throw that in just for fun. I have a feeling that while Ben may not have been actually wanding the Losties as they boarded their flight, he did play a role in getting them on the plane.

And I fully agree with the bad CG bear. It looks horrible... yuck. Oh, and about next weeks episode... I really don't have much interest in seeing it. They made it appear that the entire thing is based around the love triangle... I'd so much rather watch Locke hallucinate or find out about those portugese dudes in the snow, or where michael and walt are. Oh well.... thus is the main characterisitic of television.... unnecessary suspense.
 
My first question about next week's preview:

Who are they talking about when they keep asking Kate, "Do you love him?!" The preview is set up to make you think Sawyer, but how many times has the preview been intentionally misleading?

This season is FINALLY picking up! Hope to see some real action next Wednesday.

The preview does't look too promising. Kinda predictable, of course you never know who's flashback we'll see. I'd rather they spend less time on the Other's side of the island. Those cryptic know-it-all Others are pretty annoying.
 
Best line of tonight's episode:
"Duuude."​
Said by my favorite character, in his usual wonderful style.

However, next week seems to be another "torture the prisoners" episode, which I find totally unpleasant. For the first time in the show's history, I'm going to purposely skip an episode. And I hope ABC is watching this thread and taking notes, because that means I won't be buying new cars or whatever else their advertisers are selling. Drop the "torturing helpless good guys for no discernible reason" story line before you lose more viewers like me.

Not to mention the twin-engine plane that supposedly flew all the way from Africa to a remote island in the South Pacific. Either the plane was using advanced hybrid technology or something else is afoot. And don't get me started on the flying stream of smoke/metal fragments that roams the island, uprooting trees, making a loud brass instrument sound and killing everything in its path -- with the exception of Dr. Ecko, who stared it down. :confused:

Yeah. I'm sick of the crap episodes that don't lead anywhere. They're not even like the crap episodes of yore that lead to stunning questions or wicked action scenes. Now it's just like "ok. they're being tortured. yay. more torturing. yay. the others are heartless. yay. ok. episode is over."

I'm rewatching season 1 on DVD and the episodes are just so much more compelling. I mean, it's like every show raises questions and solves a couple unexplained things, and the shifting-of-focus between characters is done seamlessly instead of having each individual episode focus on small groups of characters separated from the rest.

I don't know what the writers are thinking, but I consider myself a die hard fan...I've watched every single aired episode, I've spent countless hours reading theories and making my own, I've bought DVDs and episodes on iTunes....and now what was an interesting show has become kind of bland and uninteresting. Bah I say!

No matter how much I bitch and moan they know I'll keep watching waiting for a good episode to confirm that my addiction is justified...:p

I agree with you as well. While I understand the need to occasionally show them as really bad guys, I'm disturbed more by the fact that the main non-Other characters are almost portrayed as inept.
 
I really like LOST, but for some reason, I am losing interest so quickly that Im almost ready to just stop watching. I missed the season premier (stupid tivo), but caught every other episode this season and every time I come away feeling disappointed. Something is different and I cant quite figure it out...

Oh well. Ill hang around for a while longer I guess, hoping it picks back up to season 1/2 standards.
 
It really is starting to be quite messy....

I thought the show should / could be explained by normal fysics, but now I am convinced it can't.

All I really want to know, is this island giving people certain "powers"? If so, then I will watch Lord of the Rings instead.

Give it an X-Files plot, and you can write anything.
Only reason for me to keep watching is "what happens next?", and not "how did that happen?" (which was the reason I first started watching).
Know what I mean?

I totally agree with you and it upsets me very much.

Desperate Housewives and Lost were the very first TV dramas I watched. I was amazed by their quality at first, but now I realize it will be hard for the scenarists to come up with a satisfying ending.

I wish there were more short dramas (one season at most).
