Lost (TV show)

Status
Not open for further replies.
In Whidmores office, when he first walks in and sits down, there is a painting (looks like its by a kid) of a mountainous island with a Hot Air Balloon in the air. I wonder if it had anything to do with the Henry Gale balloon.

I think there were a bunch of easter eggs in the office, the Lost fan sites should be buzzing already!

That whole Charlie thing was a bit of a shocker! All this time they led you to believe it was Claire. And Charlie was getting jealous...

They promised that next week was going to be an "answers" episode, we'll see.

[*]How did the numbers drive Leonard (psych patient) crazy?

That one is easy!

He was one of the button pushers.

Remember, Libby (or whatever her name was) was also in the psych ward... and she obviously has something to do with the group that runs the island (remember, she gave Desmond the boat that apparently led him to the island.) She was in the psych ward because she was spying to make sure that Leonard didn't tell anyone what the numbers MEANT. She saw Hurley was talking to the guy, so she decided to follow him around. Thats probably why she was on the plane when it crashed.

What I want to know is why the plane was over the island when the magnetic thing sucked them out of the sky. Remember, they had mentioned in season 1 that the plane had been going off course for at least 2 hours (I think) before it crashed.
 
OK, so, the main thing that I didn't like about last night's episode -- other than the fact that it did zero to advance the story -- was the addition of the old lady at the jewelry store.

The only purpose for her character was to spell out to Desmond (and by extension, us) what was going on. In your basic time travel scenario, Desmond wouldn't have had this omniscient narrator handy to tell him what was going on -- he would have to have figured it out some other way. It felt like I was watching an episode of Scooby Doo, where they end the episode with an elaborate explanation of how and why that episode's villain did what they did.

Wait, I think she actually was Desmonds subconscious. When he turned the key, his entire life flashed before his eyes. Thats why he knows the future because its been shown to him. He's also coming to the realization of what the jewelry store woman said about the man in the red shoes. He can save Charlie over and over, but he'll still die.

Btw, Im still waiting for Penny to find the Island where Desmond is at. Didnt they hint at this at the end of last season?

One of my co-workers, and I'm thinking he might be right, theorizes that the time travel actually happened.

Think about it, he talked to his physicist friend about time travel so he may have very well mentioned something about the magnetic anomalies. If Penny then talked to the physicist to try to find Desmond this could be what leads her to search for the Magnetic anomaly we saw at the end of last season.

Keep in mind also that since we've been primarily focused on Jack, Kate, and Sawyer that last nights episode may only be 1-4 days since the hatch exploded, so yes, Penny may be searching but it's still been only a little time since the explosion/detection so she's probably only just starting to get the search together.

Well, yeah, I agree with your assessment, but it still felt like a really ham-handed way for them to explain to us what was going on. I guess what I'm saying is that I would rather they found some more subtle way for Desmond to come to the realization that his (and Charlie's) fate was sealed.

Side note, but this episode does shed a little more light on why Desmond recognized Jack when he ran into him at the track (back in Season 2, or whenever it was that we saw that flashback). He had seen him before.

Yep.
 
That last episode was one of the best episodes I've seen in a long while. It had those shades of the Twilight Zone in it, which is a good thing in my opinion.

The writers have a habit of lulling you into a false sense of security and then flipping you right out when you least expect it. Great stuff.
 
There was a joke on the Colbert Report where he was speaking with JJ Abrahms on the show and he said something about finally figuring out where Lost was going when he woke up after New Years. Before he was just making stuff up for no reason. Guess he wasn't joking. Or at least he's been paying attention to the criticism.

They made a joke like that on Alias too, so he does pay attention, he just doesn't learn his lesson.

Sorry I missed that episode. Too bad the folks at ABC weren't more mindful of Abrams' debacle with Alias. Interesting enough, as I recall, anyway, "Alias" started tanking around the time Abrams started focusing on "Lost." I'm not saying "Lost" is tanking now, only that it's getting close and Abrams might need a good kick in the shins to stay focused on what this show needs to be rather than attempting to make it the television equivalent of "War and Peace."
 
Fantastic episode last week, I had almost given up on the damn show, but that one sucked me back in as a believer. Easily one of the best episodes of LOST so far. I loved the scene with Desmond asking the father for his daughter, the scotch thing was one of the harshest lines I've ever heard delivered, I felt like punching her father in the face through the TV screen :p

Hopefully tonight's is more of the same, although I am worried they'll go back to the second island and the whole Others' internal conflict thing, which frankly has been a huge downer on the whole series IMO.

I thought we'd established that Alex is Rousseau's daughter? The question now becomes has Ben just raised Alex since infant so she doesn't know any better or is Ben the natural father?
Click to expand...

I think I answered my own question. I'm guessing Ben is not the natural father since Rousseau captured Ben in her trap and only knew he was an other, didn't know a name or anything else.

Unless... Rousseau is an Other plant to gain their trust and the whole capturing of Ben was the way to get Michael to bring Sawyer, Kate, Hurley and Jack to the Others....

Ok, forget answering my own question...
 
As they're all leaving the small island at the end of this weeks episode, getting into the rowboat, there is a ship in the background - is that a mistake?
 
That didn't seem like the same ship in the background.

That was the boat they used to capture Walt that they were on at the end of the show.

I'm not really sure what to make of tonights show. They have now gone to yet another island where they live. Apparently that was Ben's definition of allowing Jack and Juliet to go "Home".

Well, Kate and Sawyer have the kid, but didn't seem to get much out of him yet. I suspect that the rescue plan will find an empty island or something much more sinister. Perhaps the patch eyed dude!

Nice little background on Jacks Tattoo. Man Whore! LOL
 
Last weeks episode was much better all 'round. I think if you didn't watch the show regularly you could enjoy that episode in its own right. They didn't seem to know where they were going tonight.
 
As far as I'm concerned, tonight's episode was the worst. ever. Too many people speaking in riddles. Too much heavy-handed mysticism. Everything seemed way too contrived. And Bai Ling is just a terrible actress. If she turns up on the island, I'm done.
 
So, wait... the promos last week promised "three answers to three of your questions."

So what three questions?

Ok, I'll give you "whats the deal with Jack's tattoos?" even though that wasn't one of MY questions.

But what of the other two??
 
What's up with the boat? When they were still on the island, it looked like a cruise ship, but at the end, it's all rusted and looked small? :confused:

I'm gonna give up watching LOST soon, it's driving me crazy. I loved the first season, but it has gone downhill ever since. :(

They said what the tattoo said but did they say what it means?

They also only explained half the tattoo.

Other things explained were, What happened to the people taken by the others, and hmm... stuck for a third.

The people taken by the others were "given a better life" then they had in their "stranded on an island" life... somehow I don't think that is an adequate answer.
