Since I don't enjoy watching the good guys be helpless torture victims, I did sudoku puzzles instead of watching last week's episode. Which means I also missed the "next week preview". Is this week's episode looking to be more of the same?
Actually, there wasn't really any torture... it was just another misleading preview (more or less). I suppose it depends on your definition of torture.

As for next week... I can't remember. :eek:
 
Oh, dear. You know things are gettin' bad when Penny Arcade starts taking shots at you:

That was my thought too..

Who has cancer? The obvious Ben, or someone else?

I opt for someone else.

I'm betting Ben has the cancer, and what I'm using to base my bet on the death of Mr. Eko is twofold - he got seriously screwed up by the bear, and I remember hearing somewhere that Adewale has a strange contract this year.
 
I also thought the bear would account for his death.

Ben is the logical choice.. and it seems to be the implication on the show trailers, but we all know that those things are notorious for being misleading, and I figured the "obvious" choice was probably the wrong one here.

Too true - I have that thought tickling my brain too.

But you know - you brought up a pet peeve I have about the show. They try too hard at being cryptic - and it's beginning to wear thin.

Case and point, when Jack escaped the operating room/cell and ran to the door, Ben said "If you open that door, we all die". What the hell would have been wrong with saying "Look, the ocean's on the other side of that door, don't open it"?

I totally agree. I'd appreciate it if they moved back towards some traditional story telling and tied up some of the oh-so-many loose threads.
 
What did the kid just say to Eko? "Go fish?" That's what it sounded like.
OK. Well, yeah, I guess that does make more sense now that you say it. ;)

But what did Eko really tell Locke at the end of the episode? "You're next" or "I confess"?

Maybe someone out there reading closed captions could tell us
 
OK, now I'm convinced - LOST is a cross between Riven and Michael Crichton's Prey.

I'm glad somebody said this. I have been itching to play "Riven" ever since I started watching "Lost," only I'm not smart enough. :rolleyes: I look at the pretty pictures and click here and there, only to make no sense of it. :confused:
 
The Dark Tower

Given my last post....

Any "Lost" watchers who also have read "The Dark Tower" series?

What is the similarity between the two in the sense of people being thrown into abstract and unknowable situations and being forced to "figure it out" nonetheless?

I'm looking for an "experience" similar to "Lost" that I can follow through until the "end." I have to say that "Lost" worries me in the sense that "Alias" disappointed me and in the sense that "The X-Files" also became a disappointment.
 
Intrigue!! Boringness!! Mystery!! Snoozes!!

Does anyone else find Locke to be more 'chipper' this season?
The Lack of Jack appears to be doing him some good.
 
I'm glad SOMEONE remembered Black Smoke Monster. The castaways sure didn't... they tromp through the jungle like it's the safest place in the world.

I liked Lost back when there was "something" in the jungle "out to get them." The fact that it turned out to be a Black Smoke Monster was quite disappointing.
