it cut off what i was gonna say., i was gonna say: omg, i have had too many guiness and bass whilst watching american footbnall tonight, but6 it got cut off.

It's going to be awesome. Hobbits and zombie lawyers...how could it go wrong?

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 01:48 (twenty years ago)

I'm interested because it has a lot of former Buffyverse writers working on it. But I don't really like J.J. Abrams.

Also, I'm going to have to tape it because it's on at the same time as Smallville (even though I think Smallville is the worst show on television, I can't resist The Pretty).

The only thing that gives me pause about it is that ever since I heard about it, it reminded me of this horrible as hell show called The New People from 1969 -- produced by Aaron Spelling:

http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-74/The_New_People/

about a group of college students who, on their way home from a cultural exchange trip to SE Asia, crashed
on a deserted South Pacific island. The island had previously been used by the Atomic Energy Commission as a test site, and so was
complete with buildings, cars, provisions, and test-dummy mannequins.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 01:51 (twenty years ago)

Ned!!!!!!! The New People sounds like the greatest show ever made! Yoo R Cuh-razy. It almost sounds too good to be true.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 01:55 (twenty years ago)

Seriously! Aaron Spelling! Hellooooo?

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 01:56 (twenty years ago)

This is a version of the Stockholm syndrome, isn't it?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 01:57 (twenty years ago)

(I honestly don't think I've EVER liked a show of his.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 01:59 (twenty years ago)

Alright, look, I'm drunk, but even I know that Aaron Spelling Spells E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N-M-E-N-T!!!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 02:00 (twenty years ago)

Not even Fantasy Island?

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 02:01 (twenty years ago)

He did that one? That I'll allow!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 02:01 (twenty years ago)

Not even Vega$?

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 02:10 (twenty years ago)

The New People does sound great. Bring it back, Aaron!

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 02:15 (twenty years ago)

That one just sorta washed over me.

GENIUS

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 02:58 (twenty years ago)

I thought that LOST was Gilligan's Island meets Fearless meets The Village. And Survivor, I guess.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 03:10 (twenty years ago)

Oh, you said that one already.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 03:10 (twenty years ago)

It's on at the same time as America's Next Top Model! Oh, choices!

Not that it matters, I'm going to be having classes Wednesday nights.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 03:27 (twenty years ago)

When I saw the promos I thought "All right! This is just like The New People" which I loved in its first run (Aren't you too young to have seen this then, Ned? Has it ever been repeated?) I'm glad the Amish in the City thing will end soon. Although the creature aspects make me wary.

― nickn (nickn), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 07:36 (twenty years ago)

thats it, i'm starting a rumour that Freeway the rapper named himself after the dog in Hart to Hart. OK, Mr. H?

― zappi (joni), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 08:10 (twenty years ago)

Wow. Aaron Spelling can't hold a job, can he?

― Hey Jude, Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:59 (twenty years ago)

what was Dark Mansions? sounds quite goth.

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 15:04 (twenty years ago)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago)

(with you)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago)

me too. although i hope that the monsters turn out to be tattoo from fantasy island.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 15:09 (twenty years ago)

i was soooooo drunk on ilx last nite. i'm so glad i didn't post anything more annoying then this thread title. It literally took me ten minutes to spell out the word entertainment up above. i won't be having any beer for a while.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 15:23 (twenty years ago)

if there are no sleestacks in this show I'm gonna be PISSED OFF

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 15:23 (twenty years ago)

SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago)

Hrm?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:09 (twenty years ago)

FUCK I MISSED IT GOD DAMN IT

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:11 (twenty years ago)

This show is like everything great about "Alias" wrapped up in a carnivorous shawl.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:16 (twenty years ago)

I like this metaphor. Do say on.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:17 (twenty years ago)

I enjoyed it also. Fearless meets Blair Witch meets, um, you know, everything really.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:19 (twenty years ago)

I liked the hobbit dude too.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:20 (twenty years ago)

although i'm scared of what The Stepfather is gonna do. That scene with him and the orange peel was kinda frightening.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:21 (twenty years ago)

The three leads (Party of Five dude, Merry and Trembly Brave Girl) are fantastic. The peripheral characters are all excellent (I really like the Japanese couple, the pregnant woman, the heavy guy, and the son). The way they built the menace was outstanding and WOW I HAVE NEVER SEEN A SHOW SO FRAUGHT WITH TENSION AND TERROR ON PRIMETIME TV.

I am certain that Merry is a terrorist.

(xpost OMG THAT'S WHO THAT IS?????)

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:22 (twenty years ago)

Hm! Tension is always good, I like the sound of it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:24 (twenty years ago)

(Hmmm, maybe that couple is Korean.)

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 September 2004 00:24 (twenty years ago)

I missed this airing because I'm stupid and took the wrong bus after an extemporaneous decision to go buy comics. Fortunately, comics allowed me to see a SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE EPISODE WAY BACK IN JULY.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Thursday, 23 September 2004 01:11 (twenty years ago)

I kind of thought it sucked. The script was ridiculously awful, and what was with all the super close-ups?

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Thursday, 23 September 2004 08:49 (twenty years ago)

Is that the predator out in the jungle?

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 23 September 2004 09:52 (twenty years ago)

I think it's a supersonic government monkey. Or it could be one of the giant babies from It's Alive III: Island Of The Alive.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 23 September 2004 10:06 (twenty years ago)

So whats your take on where they crashed? Were they shot down because they were flying over somewhere they shouldn't have? Now they are on some sort of gov't controlled island?

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 23 September 2004 10:16 (twenty years ago)

I have a feeling they are gonna work that rashomon angle with different people's memories of what happened before the plane crashed. I could be wrong though. And who was that guy running up the aisle on the plane in doctor jack's memory of the flight?

I'm all for Government Experiments Gone Awry Island, just as long as dinosaurs aren't involved.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 23 September 2004 10:43 (twenty years ago)

Yeah my wife said if a "jurassic mother fucker" appears she's done. i heard mention of a Chupacabra on the island. That was the hobbit guy running by on the plane.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 23 September 2004 10:50 (twenty years ago)

Ah, okay. I couldn't tell who it was. I don't know about him being a terrorist. I think he's just a druggie.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 23 September 2004 10:55 (twenty years ago)

unfortunately i already know what happens next week. i will not ruin it.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 23 September 2004 10:57 (twenty years ago)

MORE TALK!

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 23 September 2004 13:29 (twenty years ago)

are they going to rerun this episode? I didn't realize it was on because stooopid sfgate didn't put the article about it on the front page until AFTER IT WAS OVER

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 23 September 2004 13:34 (twenty years ago)

I liked it a lot but it seems way more like it should be a miniseries. How is this gonna be sustained? (Hahaha I think I said the same thing about halfway through season 1 of Alias)

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Thursday, 23 September 2004 14:03 (twenty years ago)

The only thing I would change about this show is I would use "Lost" by The Cure as the theme song/in promos.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 September 2004 14:04 (twenty years ago)

my guess is that they are in purgatory.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:39 (twenty years ago)

It's not dinosaurs! I have the producers' words.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Thursday, 23 September 2004 15:48 (twenty years ago)

It turns out it's THE ELDERS OF THE VILLAGE WEARING RED ROBES OMG

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:03 (twenty years ago)

I'm looking forward to the inevitable makeover in reverse that will happen to the characters - everyone getting increasingly shaggy and skinny and dirty. The princess-who-paints-toes is in for a real makeover.

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:24 (twenty years ago)

I'm hoping she gets the "head-bitten-off" makeover.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:25 (twenty years ago)

Show was good, I *really* like the girl.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:42 (twenty years ago)

I read a rant against this show where the ranter was:

- complaining about the inconsistency of the color of the sand on the beach;
- complaining that the physics of the crash were completely unbelieveable.

I had to stop reading before I transmogrified into an electric being, leapt into my monitor, pinged through routers and satellites and leapt from this person's computer screen so I could beat his face out of the back of his head for being just too fucking nerdy.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 September 2004 16:45 (twenty years ago)

The COLOR OF THE SAND? Um.

I had icky reception, watching this, so I kept wondering if the mysterious Thing was something dark, but visible, or if it was just...mysterious. Hell if I know, my TV is all fuzzy sometimes. That kind of interfered with the whole scary factor of the show. I think I liked it though.

Greg Grunberg was the actor playing the pilot, and I was all peering at him, wondering if I was recognizing him right through the blood (and fuzzy reception), and then wanting him to make sarcastic remarks or something like Weiss, his character on Alias.

It *will* be interesting to see how they sustain this...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:02 (twenty years ago)

Apparently Ahnold, Apollo Creed and Jesse The Body are on the next episode.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 23 September 2004 17:04 (twenty years ago)

I heard they are going to rerun both halves of the pilot (last night and next week's eps) on October 2nd.

I really liked the show except for a view cheesy diaglougue parts. The dog reminded me of the Simpson's episode with Mel Gibson. The dog that Homer made Mel add to the movie that was shifty-eyed.

― Pup. E. Dawg (rocknrolldetox), Thursday, 23 September 2004 22:08 (twenty years ago)

A polar bear?

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 30 September 2004 00:08 (twenty years ago)

A POLAR BEAR WTF INDEED

More likely than not, this in two episodes has become my favorite TV drama since Twin Peaks, I shit you not.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 30 September 2004 13:06 (twenty years ago)

OMG but did they really need to show us the SHRAPNEL REMOVAL!?!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 30 September 2004 13:07 (twenty years ago)

I watched the one last night but was mostly disappointed, due to: overly model-esue actors, shitty dialogue, predictable character interactions/types, but mainly TOO MUCH CHARACTER DRAMA, NOT ENOUGH CRAZY ISLAND ADVENTURES/WTF-NESS. It got better near the end of the episode with the polar bear and the 16-year-old distress signal. I might give it another shot to see if it gets any weirder, but if it stays like this, it's not living up to the potential.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 30 September 2004 13:17 (twenty years ago)

those polar bears have got to be pissed off what with all of the heat, no wonder they are killing people.

okay i am about to sound like the aforementioned nitpicky nerd, however, a couple of things did bother me.....besides the polar bear in the jungle.

1. the little boy's dog. a dog would not run off into the jungle alone and seperate himself from the pack (the people). it goes against the dog's nature. his kind have evolved to know that where go the people, so goes the food.

2. the pregnant woman just eating whatever anyone hands her. yes, of course she is hungry but she is not a garbage disposal. i find it doubtful that she would scarf down anything without knowing what it actually was. pregnancy can cause strange reactions to certain foods, some foods are dangerous during pregnancy and i think she would be concerned about that. especially if she had any preexisting allergies. also, the japanese couple is way too suspicious.

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Thursday, 30 September 2004 13:25 (twenty years ago)

Any guesses on what extradition-girl was accused of?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 30 September 2004 13:28 (twenty years ago)

here's what is bothering me: um, nothing, really. hopefully I can catch #1 on saturday, but so far this is looking like fun WTF-ness. it won't hit its real strides till later hopefully, i don't want all the rabbits out of the hat just yet

damn dominic monaghan still looks like a hobbit. damn there are some beautiful women on this show. damn why'd he have to shoot that bear, maybe it was friendly...or a talkative genius bear with a knack for repairing jet engines and radios!

my other wtf? moment: what person in their right mind would volunteer to climb a mountain after snorting heroin?

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 30 September 2004 13:47 (twenty years ago)

I think you just answered your own question there.

HIS DARK MATERIALS CROSSOVER!!!!!!

Ha! Combined with LOTR crossover = fantasy for people who like 2004 AD rather than BC (or whatever).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 September 2004 13:48 (twenty years ago)

The hobbit would do anything to get in extradition-girl's pants. Failing that, the blonde girl.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 30 September 2004 13:48 (twenty years ago)

Your not supposed to eat sushi whilst pregnant. Anyway we all know Walts dog died in the crash and this dog is a spy for the secret gov't base hidden on the island. i think the show is based around Dean Koontz's "Watchers".

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 30 September 2004 13:59 (twenty years ago)

I have a feeling they are gonna work that rashomon angle with different people's memories of what happened before the plane crashed. I could be wrong though.

But you weren't!

How many episodes in do you think it'll be before fat dude who calls everybody 'dude' freaks out wrt foodlessness? And until the hobbit rockstar freaks out wrt running out of smack? I really like how the show's chronology is day-to-day. I think it should be a useful temporal agent in chronicling their DESCENT INTO MADNESS.

And what about BALDY EYESCAR MANG? Is he using his powers for good or for evil?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 11 October 2004 17:16 (twenty years ago)

I am curious though why they didn't attempt to seek WHAT was broadcasting that signal that had supposedly been going for 16 years. I mean, those broadcasts don't just come from ROCKS and TREES and POLAR BEAR CORPSES IN WRONG CLIMATES.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 11 October 2004 17:20 (twenty years ago)

Wasn't that just the episode before the most recent one? I'm sure they'll address it, just give them time, geez.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 11 October 2004 17:30 (twenty years ago)

I was disappointed by last week's episode. Too few polar bears.

― adam (adam), Monday, 11 October 2004 17:33 (twenty years ago)

Why aren't they all moving away from the dead, rotting bodies? It makes no sense.

― aimurchie, Monday, 11 October 2004 17:48 (twenty years ago)

Aw, handcuffs girls is a murder (or something) with a heart of gold.

Some of the spoilers I've read for this sound k-lame. But it's the only fictional show worth watching aside from Dead Like Me.

― miloaukerman (miloaukerman), Monday, 11 October 2004 18:55 (twenty years ago)

Oh but the lameness of the spoilers (I'm just gonna assume there is some spoiler overlap) totally AMPLIFIES the levels of CAMP.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 11 October 2004 18:56 (twenty years ago)

Heh, I'm glad I have studiously avoided spoilers so far. I learned my lesson after the last season of Buffy.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Monday, 11 October 2004 19:10 (twenty years ago)

This is getting weirder, but not in an interesting way.

Handcuffs girl looks kind of like Barbara Bush (the younger)

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:56 (twenty years ago)

YAY DESTINY! Last night's episode was good.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 14 October 2004 11:52 (twenty years ago)

Is Jack seeing things? And do we know if Locke was paralysed and suddenly healed?

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 14 October 2004 12:05 (twenty years ago)

I had to miss this. What happened?

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Thursday, 14 October 2004 12:08 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, the whole wheelchair thing was confusing.

Wild boars were going for the bodies, so it was decided that the bodies would be burned to keep away wild animals. They had a little service for the dead at the end. Also, they'd run out of food, so Locke talked about hunting the boars for food, and was acting like military man, with a whole suitcase of knives that he'd checked. There were flashbacks to Locke's life, with allusions to Office Space (TPS reports!). Apparently Locke liked to play some sort of military board game and act like tough-military-man, but really he was just some sort of office peon in his life before the plane crash.

um, someone else continue. also, i thought jack was seeing things but then it turned out to be locke, back from the boar hunt. but maybe it was both?

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 14 October 2004 12:21 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I think he was seeing images of his father/grandfather or something.

We found out that Locke was in a wheelchair for the past 4 years unable to walk. Well now he's walking....which leads me to speculate that this island is sort of a supernatural place.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 14 October 2004 12:42 (twenty years ago)

I decided last night it was Purgatory or something similar and they're all dead, but my girlfriend doesn't buy my "Purgatory does SO have polar bears!" theology.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 14 October 2004 12:44 (twenty years ago)

Jack kept seeing random Agents from The Matrix. Locke saw something huge out in the jungle but told black dude that he didn't. TPS REPORTS! I forgot about that, holy shit. Freckled dangerous hottie who looks like Barbara Bush the younger tried to use this thing not-a-terrorist dude made to track the power source of the signal but dropped it out of a tree. Hot non-pregnant blonde girl is trying to use her special booby powers to get the hobbit rockstar junky who's almost out of drugs to fish for her. He and big fat dude who calls everyone "dude" go out in the ocean trying to spear fish. They are dumbasses. Oh yeah, and Locke lived this shitty life before, wheelchair bound, mean boss, girl-wot-he-stalked-via-the-telephone or something, etc, talks about how it's his DESTINY to be this great hunter dude, they keep showing this scene from right after the plane crash where he looks at his feet and wiggles his toe and smiles. I think he's going to be one of the most awesomest/clichedest characters of the bunch.

That was my original theory as posted on 9/23....im still sticking to it. Of course it will really suck if we have to wait something like four years or however long the show runs to find out. The anticipation is killing me.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 14 October 2004 12:48 (twenty years ago)

I hope they never ever explain the polar bear. Ever.

I've been downloading the episodes from BitTorrent. It's great to be able to go back and match things up - there's tiny details from the first episode that reap big rewards later on.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 14 October 2004 12:54 (twenty years ago)

girl-wot-he-stalked-via-the-telephone

he mentioned helen at work and it seemed like he was talking about his girlfriend, and then he was on the phone talking about his aus trip and it turned out it was some sort of paying phone service, so maybe he was calling up a phonesex service to talk about his everyday life. and being all delusional and stuff, he bought her a ticket to go to australia with him, and she was like, uh, you're a customer, that would be inappropriate.

nickalicious, i was totally thinking that during the fishing scene...they'd be swearing up a storm!

I, in a complete shock, think the pregnant blonde woman is hotter. I never go for the blonde. I don't know what's happening. Dark haired lady is fine, sure, but you're all giving Barbara "Scrunchy-Face" Bush too much credit. Jenna's become hotter than her sister anyway, due to the fact that her public meltdown will be more spectacular, and that Barbara looks like she'd make a bug-smashing porn video for a senior project at Yale.

I'm looking forward to every single episode having a scene where there is a fight on the beach and someone says, "Hey, break it up! What's going on here?"

Why did Locke think he could go on a brutal trek thru the outback in a wheelchair? And why was his boss being such a jerk to a guy in a wheelchair? Total discrimination lawsuit.

And Daniel Dae Kim's character is quite a dick in his way, but I think we shouldn't discredit the facts that A) for as bad as he treats her, he does definitely love the shit out of his wife, and B) he knows how to make teh food for them to eat. Consequently, he will end up becoming big fat guy who calls everyone dude's best friend.

If I knew philosophy better, Id figure theres some significance to having a character on the show named "John Locke"

― still bevens (bscrubbins), Thursday, 14 October 2004 17:59 (twenty years ago)

Locke was concerned with social contract theory and human nature (especially -- or at least in response to Hobbes -- as revealed in "the state of nature," the hypothetical state in which humans existed without government, authorities, laws, etc), so if Lost Locke is the one to suggest they agree on some rules to keep Harry Knowles from eating the kid, there you go.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 14 October 2004 18:05 (twenty years ago)

(Judging from his interest in rules-based games and sitting outside the group while everyone else passes the drama conch around, until a Real Issue like food comes up, that wouldn't be out of character, I don't think. Especially since, coming from him, it wouldn't be read as a coded "vote me King of the Island" command.)

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Thursday, 11 November 2004 07:11 (twenty years ago)

The main problem with this week's episode is their completely foregoing the entire WTFness of the island thing to focus entirely on trying to make us somewhat sympathetic to this arrogant douchebag. Thankfully, next week they will get back to addressing the island's WTFness, or so it seemed from the closing thing.

And F you guys, the peanut butter thing was cutesy pie. "Extra smooth" indeed, Hobbit.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 November 2004 13:51 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, and the thing with Charlie/Hurley in the woods where Charlie was like "I'm sure you know where some food is SOMEWHERE, look at you" and all that, that was a good moment between them. I like when Hurley is more involved in the story.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 November 2004 13:53 (twenty years ago)

Im sorry but i was half asleep when sawyer explained his story? some clear it up for me. He was a con man, but what was up with the letter? I really like Sayid, i hope he don't die or get eaten by Marlon Brando.

― Velveteen Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 11 November 2004 14:05 (twenty years ago)

ha ha "eaten by Marlon Brando"!

Apparently, Sawyer was the kid who wrote the letter, and he never found the actual Mr. Sawyer the letter was intended for. Instead, he found a pretty lady to make sex with who had a stupid husband he could scam some money offa, and when he saw their kid he realized "he had become Sawyer".

I think this was the weakest episode yet.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 November 2004 14:25 (twenty years ago)

I think having Sayid out on the lose going around the island though may be one of the best moves the writers have made. We'll see for sure next week.

that was pretty good. the kiss scene. the episode was pretty hokey though. plus, we had someone over last night who had never seen it and we had to do that whole "ït's usually a lot better" song and dance. why does that always happen? and i did think Sawyer's was the weakest of all the flashbacks (i have enjoyed most of them).

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 11 November 2004 14:43 (twenty years ago)

i did think Sawyer's was the weakest of all the flashbacks (i have enjoyed most of them)

Yeah, it was the weakest by far. Judging by the previews next week should be better.

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Thursday, 11 November 2004 14:45 (twenty years ago)

it made absolutely NO sense that everyone on that island didn't hold Sawyer down until he gave up the medicine. Or at least told them that he didn't have it. Why would 3 characters be the only people who cared enough to help someone who was dying??!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 11 November 2004 14:45 (twenty years ago)

For one thing, I think everyone's much less scared of things in the woods now that Locke is out there killing and cooking them. For another, it seems like they've sortuv postponed any more island revalationing for now to lay out some exposition on the characters. It does seem though that they'll be getting back to the X-Filesness of the shit soon, with whatever crazy shit is apparently about to happen to Sayid.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 11 November 2004 14:55 (twenty years ago)

That kiss, was, without a doubt, hot.

At first I thought this show was just a mini-series, but is it actually a show that might go on for more than one season? And should it?

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 11 November 2004 19:08 (twenty years ago)

If I knew this show had an ending i.e. "24" it would be better. The show is a show about characters, but it doesn't at all seem like they will be rescued--after all, if they get rescued, the show is over. And given that it is a series, viewers do not expect it to end in May. That said, if ABC decided to rescue the cast and start with a new one in a new locale next year, it would make watching this season much better. The last thing I want is to see this become a true soap, where this year Kate sleeps with Sawyer and next year it's Jack etc. "Melrose On An Island" works for me if I knew there is an endgame in mind. I will quit watching the show if the cliffhanger is a baby being born and Kate getting dragged off by a polar bear into the jungle.

I bet Nicole is right. My guess is that he is the dude that was hanging out with Locke..."He has some experience...he found some tracks..."

That guy with Locke looked so familiar. Maybe he does a lot of commercials, he's got that look.

I missed an episode and a half. Did they ever let us know who bonked Sayid on the head when he was setting up the transmitter thing?

Arthur, you rule with the new name, I have to say. Hey, are you free on Wednesday during the day? Will call you tonight.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 18 November 2004 16:37 (twenty years ago)

Did they ever let us know who bonked Sayid on the head when he was setting up the transmitter thing?

No, it's a mystery. Sayid thought it was Sawyer, but I doubt it was him.

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Thursday, 18 November 2004 16:40 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, it was time for a change. Free on Wednesday? Yes, yes I am! Unless I'm in SF, but it looks like I can't afford it. I'll post more on the Lucy Lurex thread. Hi, Nicole!

And finally: OMWTFG...fucking GOLF DUDERS!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 18 November 2004 18:45 (twenty years ago)

Now I keep thinking this show is just going to get weird, sort of The Prisoner-like or The Island of Dr. Moreau, or, even, Jurassic Park. But it won't get weird like that. There's a perfectly rational, boring explanation in the end... grr.

The golf was kind of a nice touch, but won't there soon be Golf Rage? I wonder what else will be found in this apparently endless supply of washed-up-on-shore luggage.

Sayid clean-cut and in uniform? Phwoar. Sayid remains the best part of the show. xpost.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 18 November 2004 19:42 (twenty years ago)

I'm glad Hurley finally got a bit of air time. I'm not sure why, but I get the feeling he's going to be one of the characters that grows the most as the series goes on (and I don't just mean he's going to lose weight).

There has been speculation on the main LOST message boards about the upcoming episode entitled 'Raised By Another', mainly that in that episode, Claire will die while giving birth to her baby, and Charlie will end up raising it. That notion is all well and good, but I actually think that episode will be about Michael and his son, and that they'll save the childbirfin scene til the season finale.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 18 November 2004 19:56 (twenty years ago)

If Claire dies in childbirf, somebody's going to have to start lactating real quick-like, or the baby's a goner. So I think you're right.

At first I was looking at Hurley closely, trying to see if that's a normal-sized guy in a "Big Mama" style fat suit, but no, that actor is a big dude. If they manage to slim him down during the season, that's one dedicated cast member.

Last night's quibble: after 16+ years, would Danielle's sedatives still be effective?

― the apex of nadirs (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 18 November 2004 20:55 (twenty years ago)

Well, apparently she has electricity (coming in from a mysterious big thick cable coming from the ocean [did Sayid not wonder where the other end of the cable was coming from?], so I imagine there is some sort of refrigeration/storage setup there.

I'm also working under another theory that Daniel Rouseau is completely a figment of Sayid's imagination, and that the island consistently is playing with people's realities in a way that guides them towards their truest selves or some hippyesque shit like that.

I think my favorite thing about this show is how completely open to all sorts of possibilities it is with regards to it's story and setting and everything.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 18 November 2004 21:01 (twenty years ago)

ha ha okay apparently the next episode (not until Wed after next FUCK YOU ABC WE DON'T NEED A RERUN OF TEH BACHELOR AKA TITTY PARADE) IS "Raised By Another", which deals with Claire, her child, her nightmares, etc. I AM ALREADY PROVEDED WRONG.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 18 November 2004 21:09 (twenty years ago)

Hmm, maybe there's some sort of psychoactive fungus (with windborne spores) growing on the island that acts like Swamp Thing's sweet taters. I'm pretty sure Sayid heard the voices at the end of last night's episode because Danielle planted the suggestion. That is, if she really exists.

― the apex of nadirs (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 18 November 2004 21:13 (twenty years ago)

It's Wednesday after next because of Thanksgiving, though! For once I won't fault a pause in scheduling, because I doubt I'll have control of the television Wednesday night.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 November 2004 21:14 (twenty years ago)

The 8 Wednesday timeslot has had the added effect of having me in front of the TV come 9pm, which is when AUSTIN CITY LIMITS comes on PBS here, so I've been catching a lot of that show also, since LOST hooked me. Last night was split between POLYPHONIC SPREE and OZOMATLI.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 18 November 2004 21:16 (twenty years ago)

(This is where I humbly say that these kind of Nickalicious posts are one big reason why I love the man and regret not meeting him yet.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 18 November 2004 21:18 (twenty years ago)

Weirdly, since Lost started I've missed South Park every single time it's come on, because after Lost I feel so television-satiated that I turn it off without even stopping to wonder if there's anything else good on. I keep having to download SP to see what zany misadventures those kids have got up to this time.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 November 2004 21:27 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm...we've had this discussion before, Tep, but I'd be interested in your thoughts now since it's slightly framed differently: you've argued that television is a necessary means of keeping in cultural touch, something I find highly overstates the case. But would you then say that exposure needs to be measured out and parcelled so you don't 'binge,' as it were? It seems...well, oddly rationalized (as opposed to rational).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 18 November 2004 21:45 (twenty years ago)

Oh, not at all. Or, well ... I mean, I'd definitely say there's such a thing as watching too much television, especially depending on how you "watch" (I don't think bartenders in bars where the TV's on ESPN all day need to worry about having watched too much TV if they put Lost on when they get home, etc). In this case, it's not so much a feeling that I've seen too much TV or anything, I just ... end every episode without any desire to watch more TV that day. Or movies, for that matter.

Mind you, it might be a different matter if a show I liked just as much were on that same day, at least if I couldn't download it.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 November 2004 21:50 (twenty years ago)

That's a fair answer, thanks. (There's more I could say in general but this isn't the thread for it.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 18 November 2004 22:09 (twenty years ago)

You guys should start that thread, certainly.

But the rest of you are mental, that was a dumb episode.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Friday, 19 November 2004 16:10 (twenty years ago)

You guys should start that thread, certainly.

Well I actually think we have, or at least talked about it elsewhere! I'd certainly be up for thinking about it more if Tep was.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 19 November 2004 16:16 (twenty years ago)

I think we pretty much did that, though, like you say -- any more and we'd be going around in circles. (I'm softening rapidly on the "it's also important TV should be on TV" part, because with TiVo, Showtime/HBO/Cinemax/Anime On Demand, rapid releases of DVDs, etc., that's not the default by as significant a margin.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 19 November 2004 16:25 (twenty years ago)

I do think the ability to free up one's schedule that way is significant -- and very welcome. In the same way I like viewing movies and reading books and listening to music as the moment takes me, the idea of TV viewing in a similar set-up is a fine thing indeed. At the same time it doesn't change the fact that I simply really have constantly kept letting go of TV in general for years upon years now for a variety of other reasons, as discussed previously -- so instead I look to these threads, for instance, as a way to enjoy discussion among friends and fave posters, without feeling obligated to keep up with the actual thing-in-itself, er, itself, which is very refreshing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 19 November 2004 16:48 (twenty years ago)

I dreamt about Sawyer last night. I have had passing crushes on the men in the show, but didn't expect to like Sawyer. I've lost my interest in the doctor and the peanut butter nutter. Sayid is looking hot, too.

good episode last night. ETHAN ROM "MORE THAN" also if you spell out his name you get A-N-O-T-H-E-R, without the M. And the psychic was all "DO NOT LET THIS CHILD BE RAISED BY ANOTHER."

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 2 December 2004 11:16 (twenty years ago)

How stupid was Claire that the junkie hobbit had to spell out to her that the psychic had set her up?

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Thursday, 2 December 2004 15:05 (twenty years ago)

Yeah Claire, way to be a believer in the dark arts, dumbass broad!

I do think this was one of my favorite episodes yet though. Are they really "not alone", or is the island's power manifesting "Ethan Rom" and "Danielle" based on Claire's and Sayid's DESTINY?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 2 December 2004 15:12 (twenty years ago)

i only could watch a few minutes, but i saw that part. my question is why did he (the psychic) set her up?

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Thursday, 2 December 2004 15:19 (twenty years ago)

because the baby is to be raised alone by claire. he saw the plane crash in her future and hence....

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 2 December 2004 15:21 (twenty years ago)

I just love all the SPECULATION this show leaves for me to do. When Danielle said "it killed them all", did she mean a MADNESS? Did she inject Sayid with something related to this madness? Was Danielle even really there at all, or was the island showing Sayid 'what he needed to see?', as Locke put it.

I especially love the pacing; each individual episode has all sorts of dynamics, but the total storyline is piecing itself together ooooooh soooooo slooooooowly.

xpost EMILY! I think he saw the plane crash and the survival and all that and knew that putting her on that plane would put her on a path that led to her raising her child.

Artificial Lifeform EXperiment (ALEX), was what the French lady was working on, it's her life's work -- her child.

ALEX grows and develops free will and leaves her.

Due to his bioengineering, he is very strong (can take on Claire and Charlie by himself).

He gave himself the name Ethan, and just thought of ROM when Hurley asked.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 2 December 2004 16:32 (twenty years ago)

Okay, it opens with a not-pregnant Claire waking up in the caves/jungle hearing a baby crying. She runs around presumably tracking the baby's cry, which leads her to Locke, who is doing something with a deck of cards (they look like TAROT cards, and are making a strange metal-scraping-on-metal sound). Where his eyes should be are the black and white stones they found on Adam & Eve when they discovered the caves. He says something like "he was your responsibility, and you turned him away, now we all pay the price" or something like that, then she hears more babycries and takes off through the woods again. She finds a crib with a tiny mobile of an Oceania airliner (a replica of the crash vehicle) that is all busted open just like their plane was. She then digs through the blankets looking for her baby, and she finds a puddle of BLOOD at the bottom of the crib.

She wakes up screaming with Charlie trying to calm her down. She wasn't just dreaming but SLEEPWALKING apparently, and the palms of her hands are bloody.

some choice tidbits my wife keeps sending me from the fuslage.com

1) Romulus and Remus were "given away" by their unwed mother....they were raised by a She-Wolf...found by a shepard, they were then "adopted" by he and his wife and given their names....later on, after they kill and overthrow their evil uncle.Deciding to found a town of their own, Romulus and Remus chose the place where the she-wolf had nursed them. Romulus began to build walls on the Palatine Hill, but Remus jeered at them because they were so low. He leaped over them to prove this, and Romulus in anger killed him. For the rest of his life Romulus ruled alone, proving himself a great leader in peace and war. He did not die but disappeared one day in a violent storm. The Romans believing he had been taken up to heaven worshipped him under the name of Quirinus.

2) As a little addition to that Roman history, it is also believed that Romulus went on to have children that were LOST and wondered for many years before ultimately settling Rome and giving rise to a great civilization of Romans.

3) I think there is really something to the ROM=Royal Ontario Museum. If you check out their website, you will notice that one of their branches is set up to preserve biodiversity. And on their endangered list.....polar bears. Maybe they were transplanting some polar bears in the cooler regions of the southern hemisphere? Genetically modifying?

it's great!

It doesn't quite go as far as I want it to go sometimes, I admit; every episode kind of wraps up with someone learning something about themselves and it seems a bit "safe". I don't think it's going to tilt headfirst into fucknut weirdo Twin Peaks territory. But it's still my favorite new show.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 04:39 (twenty years ago)

well i am certainly glad they stopped ending each show with a musical montage, anyway.

i think the phrase 'guilty pleasure' applies - mostly i'm fascinated with how the writing veers from stupid to smart and back within mere minutes! does alias do that too?

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:17 (twenty years ago)

Yes, and how. It's all going to be part of my thesis.

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 07:22 (twenty years ago)

Great example of stupid to smart back-n-forthing with this show: the contrast between the episodes WALKABOUT and THE MOTH. Walkabout was smooth, powerful, and leaves me wondering so much about it still. The Moth...like OMG what a SUBTLE metaphor, good lord.

I've noticed in the past few days, watching a variety of Marvel comic character based movies that Daniel Dae Kim is apparently some sort of fall-back very small scientist role player for that franchise - he was in both THE HULK and SPIDEY 2. His Americanized voice is surprisingly nasal.

My new money wager is that, in the next few episodes (which are still too far away), Jin and Sun BOTH will start speaking English all the time. And Walt will use his special powers to manifest a Graeters.

ok, i've been found out. i'm a dork, but get the dates of things confused, sorry. i thought the two hour alias was going to be in the place of lost on jan 5.

a lot of things are on purpose, of course.

― cºzen (Cozen), Friday, 24 December 2004 01:34 (twenty years ago)

the sexual tension between wrong turn dude and his spoilt sister is pretty much unbearable. is it ever revealed that they wr incestuous identical twins?

― cºzen (Cozen), Friday, 24 December 2004 01:40 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

I AM SO HYPE FOR TONIGHT'S EPISODE, HOLY SHIT.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

I imagine it will be jam-packed with WTFishness. Waaaay moreso than last week's Kate Lies To Everyone Just For A Fucking Toy Plane dealie.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

Everyone on that show is Canadian.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

Last week's was the weakest of the series so far, I thought, unless that little toy plane turns out to have been made from plastic explosive.

― I Am Curious (George) (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:22 (twenty years ago)

OTM.

FUCK THAT LITTLE PLANE. It better have like some kinda CIA TRACKING DEVICE in it or something.

Plus, like, did they just give up on Claire altogether or something? I mean, for fuck's sake! It pissed me off, too, when Sayid called her "the pregnant girl", like, dude, SHE HAS A NAME, you of all people should remember, since she found your precious photo of your precious lady you liked that you were supposed to torture, DICK.

One thing about last week's episode that I did like, that I didn't even notice until watching it again later: at the beginning, right before they find the waterfall, Kate says "SSSHHH", and then Sawyer says "smell blood on the wind", but seriously there is someone whispering "HELP". That was really subtle and freaky as shit.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:35 (twenty years ago)

I do like though about last week's that it set up a lot of things that will end up being way more important in the future than that fucking toy plane, ie FOUR FUCKING GUNS, Sun overhearing Jack & Kate's talk (where Jack was like "I'm the only one that knows about you"), the tide washing in.

The best thing though about last week's was Shannon singing "La Mer" for Sayid at the end. And her creepy "brother" watching from the shadows.

I wish they would go ahead and make Rose a full-on main character.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

forget kate, shannon's the hotness.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

I like how all the men keep getting scruffier, but the women linger seemingly forever in a state of permabikiniwax.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:00 (twenty years ago)

I want to strangle Shannon with piano wire. Does that make me a bad person?

― I Am Curious (George) (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

she's fit.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

yowza!

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 13 January 2005 02:09 (twenty years ago)

john locke droppin' some seriously freaky science on sisterlover.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 13 January 2005 02:13 (twenty years ago)

I think he discovered some of Swamp Thing's sweet taters.

― I Am Curious (George) (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 13 January 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

What's going on with the blonde girl and her creepy brother?

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 13 January 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

what was it he said when locke asked him how he felt when he thought shannon was dead? did he say he was relieved? i didn't hear, people were talking and it wasn't recorded, grr.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 13 January 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

hm, incest. neat.

― Remy IS THE Snush (x Jeremy), Thursday, 13 January 2005 05:47 (twenty years ago)

It seemed like the end of a chapter when y'know, the ending happened.
Total freaking weirdness, but the whole "OMG she/he is dead! Oh, wait, nope, not really dead" threatens to get old if they do it again.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 13 January 2005 05:55 (twenty years ago)

Okay... anybody want to recommend a good site to get me caught up on the first six episodes?

― Remy IS THE Snush (x Jeremy), Thursday, 13 January 2005 06:01 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, he said "relieved."

www.televisionwithoutpity.com usually has comprehensive recaps, though the ones I've read have been (deservedly) snarky. Never read one of their Lost recaps, though.

― nickn (nickn), Thursday, 13 January 2005 06:52 (twenty years ago)

BROTHER SISTER MAKEOUTS. SUPERHERO BALD GUYS. COMPASSES THAT WON'T POINT NORTH.

― imagine it to the tune of "No Surprises" (nickalicious), Thursday, 13 January 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

I missed last night's episode, but did they go into what the brother and Locke found in the woods?

― 57 7th (calstars), Thursday, 13 January 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

Not really. Only that it seems like some sort of door.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Thursday, 13 January 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

Nope. It's still just a hatch with no means of being opened. Locke compared it to Michelangelo's "David". Because it has a small penis.

PEE ON ME!!!!

that was a pretty damn fine episode, i gotta say.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 13 January 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

if they want to make this show authentic then hurley needs to drop some pounds man. if they ever get really hungry they can all survive off one of his man-tits for days.

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 13 January 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i liked that one last nite. a good mix of intrigue/humor/action/WTF?-ness.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 13 January 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

Dude, Jin totally speaks English.

The thing with Jack giving Kate the seeds: I think it's foreshadowing, and he's going to get her PREGNANT soon.

I loved in the beginning when Hurley was talking to Jack about his digestive problems, the whole time gathering leaves, and Jack was like "you're not gonna EAT those are you?" and Hurley was like "dude, who said anything about EATING them?". I love when shows acknowledge the fact that people, you know, TAKE DUMPS AND STUFF.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:25 (twenty years ago)

At the very end, Locke says to Boone, "Follow me," and all I can think is "I am the way and the light." Still wish Shannon had bit the big one.

― I Am Curious (George) (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:31 (twenty years ago)

john locke!!!

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 13 January 2005 15:33 (twenty years ago)

Anyone notice the inconsistent camera work when Locke and Boone were walking from the hatch? When it was on the two characters it was pretty smooth, but when they tried to get in close to just Boone it was some herky jerky Lars von Trier shit. Unfortunately it was just poor craftsmanship rather than anything resembling story telling.

Enough nitpickery tho.. I thought last nights episode was one of the best of the bunch.

― major jingleberries (jingleberries), Thursday, 13 January 2005 19:53 (twenty years ago)

People, it's the White Stripes!

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Thursday, 13 January 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I'm pretty sure now that Walt (inadvertantly) caused his mom's sickness AND the plane crash. He's also going to be the one to open the hatch that Boone/Locke were staring at. The bit at the beginning where Susan was talking about taking Walt away from Michael was a little too similar to some real life stuff going on for me to not freak out.

Okay and holy shit CLAIRE! I've watched that last bit quite a few times and still can't be entirely sure if she's still pregnant or not.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 January 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

Okay, here's where being a comic nerd pays off!
The comic Walt's been reading is a Spanish translation of the pretty mediocre Flash/Green Lantern: Faster Friends which features AN UNDERGROUND, CRASHED SPACESHIP (and a crazy polar bear).

― Huk-L, Thursday, 20 January 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

did walt stab the polar bear in the face?

― La Monte (La Monte), Thursday, 20 January 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

Walt stabbed the polar bear SOMEWHERE.

They kept showing some ALIENS on EXAMINING TABLES or something in it, too. I wish Michael hadn't thrown it in the fire!

In Claire's diary, I wonder who she wrote "I HATE HIM" about...her baby-daddy? Or maybe even DUNT DUN DUUUUUUUUUUN her own daddy!?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 January 2005 15:08 (twenty years ago)

http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/5740/200/5740_2_1.jpg

From Comics.org (the comics equiv of Allmusic):

Synopsis:
An alien captured by the GA [Golden Age] Flash and Green Lantern escapes and captures them. Their wives ask the current heroes to find them.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 20 January 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty sure now that Walt (inadvertantly) caused his mom's sickness AND the plane crash.

Once he was able to visualize hitting the target in his mind, he was able to do it perfectly. And when he was doing his assignment and said he didn't really care about the birds in Australia, a bird hit the window! I think he may be able to make things happen with his mind/imagination, but it could just be a mcguffin.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Thursday, 20 January 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

Did the bird hit the window because he didn't care about his homework or because he wanted his parents' attention?

― Huk-L, Thursday, 20 January 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

Getting their attention was the end, the birds in the foreground of his thoughts were the means. Rerun next week - bah.

― I Am Curious (George) (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 20 January 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

goddamn I was expecting to catch up on the episode I missed last night and I cant tell one fucking thing that happened by reading the recent posts. I take it last nights episode wasnt earth shattering? No incest this time?

― Juan, the Magic Don (jingleberries), Thursday, 20 January 2005 20:33 (twenty years ago)

it was a big and very, very good episode.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 20 January 2005 20:34 (twenty years ago)

This was DEFINITELY a GREAT episode. David Fury seems to be the writer of all of my favorites so far (Walkabout, Solitary, this one). He's doing the upcoming Hurley episode too! HYPE.

Jack pissed me off in this one, how at the end, when Charlie was like "dude, she had a dream about this Black Rock place" and Jack was like "dude, it's just a dream"...like, um, do you not remember only 3 episodes ago you were flipping out with guilt about how you ignored her having dreams about being attacked and then she got attacked? Come on, Dr. Dude!

That scene where Michael got off the phone and got hit by that car totally caught me off guard.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 January 2005 20:53 (twenty years ago)

Also, my sister pointed out something I would've totally missed, but when Charlie and Claire were kidnapped, 4 people set out to find them; Jack, Kate, Locke, and Boone. They eventually split ways to follow two different "trails". Jack and Kate found Charlie (thanks in part to Jack hearing noises that he thought were Claire screaming that Kate didn't hear). Locke and Boone found Claire (thanks in part to Locke following, um, a feeling that Boone couldn't feel). She thinks it is a signifier of SIDES FORMING.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 January 2005 21:01 (twenty years ago)

Of course, they actually found Claire while they were out looking for the fucking DOG.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 January 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

Boone is Locke's ZOMBIE BOY. At some point Locke may sit down and decide whether he wants to be a cult leader or not, hnn? I have a feeling it's not intentional.

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 20 January 2005 21:59 (twenty years ago)

I don't like how they haven't bothered to elaborate on what happened to Charlie while he was gone. Does he not remember? He was all stupefied for two episodes and now he's back to normal.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 20 January 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

The black lady who's convinced her husband is still alive snapped him out of it...WITH A QUICK DOSE OF PRAYER.

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 20 January 2005 22:57 (twenty years ago)

yeah I know, but he never talked about what he saw or what happened. same with people who saw the monster in the forest. It just seems like a cheap authorial device, to hide this from the audience.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 20 January 2005 22:58 (twenty years ago)

I'm just glad they gave us *something* this episode. A few more clues, and on and on it goes... Excellent to see the polar bear in action, plus learning that Walt has some kind of special powers (what was it that his step-dad said: "When he's around... things happen." oooh. (if he made the bird hit the window, did he make the plane crash? Was he tapping into something "in the universe"? I don't know, but at least this episode was exciting in that questioning way.) I'm wagering big time that Claire is no longer pregnant.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 21 January 2005 03:57 (twenty years ago)

I have a feeling it's not intentional.

Are you kidding me? Locke mindfucked Boone with some hallicenogenic! That's called brainwashing where I come from, and then Locke calls it "setting Boone free." COME ON!

― Huk-L, Friday, 21 January 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

I think he only did that to Boone because he's afraid of Boone going kookoo-for-coco-puffs like ETHAN did.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 21 January 2005 15:06 (twenty years ago)

But Ethan isn't one of them.
And yeah, if he's truly building an army, he should get Sawyer onside. But COME ON, Boone has a weak mind and a past of being manipulated, and who does Locke go after next? The kid.

― Huk-L, Friday, 21 January 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

And he's already manipulated Charlie by convincing him that he alone is responsible for helping him get off drugs. Which is kind of stupid, because Charlie would have been forced to kick the habit after a couple of more days anyway because his stash would have run out.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Friday, 21 January 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

what was it that his step-dad said: "When he's around... things happen."

I thought this was a bit Harry Potter.

he's afraid of Boone going kookoo-for-coco-puffs like ETHAN did

Ethan didn't go crazy though, he is the French woman's son or something.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 21 January 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

I thought this was a bit Harry Potter.

It's a bit Twilight Zone, is what it is. That family with the boy who could "make things happen" and they all had to do as he pleased lest he to something horrible to them. "It's A Good Life"

― Huk-L, Friday, 21 January 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

OMG I just looked at some spoiler/promo pics for the next episode (not until Feb. FUCKADOODLEDOO!)! They are going to PWN February sweeps. Fuck off American Idol!

xpost yeah I thought it was DEFINITELY like that Twilight Zone ep too. It's like Twilight Zone meets Forbidden Planet meets Real World: Nowhere meets Giligan's Island!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 21 January 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, it's easier to take such a blatant TZ crib when a) it's this well done and b) the whole show has been in the vein of TZ from the beginning (i'm kinda hoping we see a flashback where someone--Locke maybe?--sees a gremlin on the wing)

― Huk-L, Friday, 21 January 2005 17:54 (twenty years ago)

I'm glad this whole show hasn't turned out to be about the sexual tension Kate and the boys.

I can't wait for Hurley's back story.

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

Thanks to you guys, this thread, and the power of THE TORRENT, I am now completely addicted to this programme, which hasn't even started over here yet and may not until the summer.

Is it just me or is Sawyer the worst mercenary ever? "Sawyer, we saw you take this thing we want out of the plane,"
"Oh, you really want it? It'll cost you."
"How about we just punch you in the face?"
"Well, you could, but it'll cost...HEY!"

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Sawyer is just a big baby now. "Naw, I didn't read her diary, see, aren't I actually a nice ol' softy?" They may have gone too far with the con-man with a heart of gold thing. i used to be scared of what he would do. now the hobbit is pawning him!

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

I shouldn't have been so surprised that he'd take a punch in the mouth and laugh about it. "If you're not stringing me up by the neck, I got no time for you, pussy!"

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Friday, 21 January 2005 23:47 (twenty years ago)

Right, but does he like getting punched in the mouth? Maybe he does. Maybe he's weirder than we thought.

Him with his weird concave chest.

(I have to pretend I don't find him attractive or Bloke won't let me watch the programme anymore.)

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Saturday, 22 January 2005 09:28 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

Is the new episode on tonight? I'm totally pumped in a really lame way.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 9 February 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

TONIGHT! ISSA SOMEBODY GUNNA DIE!?!?! I think so, Jar Jar Binks.

If this comes even close to living up to the promo clip they've been showing on ABC for what seems like the past EIGHTY BILLION YEARS, we should be in for a night of action packed excitement. I'm personally kinda happy to see Jack and Sawyer forced to work together for once.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

We're gonna be getting new episodes every week for AT LEAST the next four weeks. Flashbacks = Charlie (tonight), Sawyer (next week), JIN (after that [HELLS YEAH]), and then Hurley (HELLS YEAH-ER]).

I am addicted to spoilers for this show.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 19:48 (twenty years ago)

My favorite is the one that says that SHPOILAH Sawyer chases a boar he swears is 'out to get him' in the one after this one END SHPOILAH.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 19:49 (twenty years ago)

― La Monte (La Monte), Thursday, 10 February 2005 02:01 (twenty years ago)

I'm still torn between loving this show and becoming increasingly frustrated with it. I'm excited when I start watching each episode and then, y'know, it dwindles. I want more clues, dammit.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 10 February 2005 02:02 (twenty years ago)

I like how even the regulars don't know who the extras are. Steve? Scott? Whatever.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 10 February 2005 02:06 (twenty years ago)

i didn't like the extra i-was-a-no-good-junkie flashbacks. wasn't that the whole point of that cave-in episode? that he's trying to be more responsible for people. i think i get the point by now.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 10 February 2005 02:07 (twenty years ago)

Hurley's "I never know how to end these things" line was pretty funny in its delivery.

― La Monte (La Monte), Thursday, 10 February 2005 02:09 (twenty years ago)

I swear, I heard people up and down my street all "FUCKIN AY CHARLIE!!!". I think the real deal with the Charlie flashbacks this time around were sorta meant to show us that Charlie is very much capable of A) being a horrible person, and B) being helpless to stop himself from doing horrible things, sometimes.

Charlie puking in the copier, though = ROFFLE.

I loved that little bit where Boone dozed and then woke up running around all helpless. He's still such a JACKASS. If he's not the one of the main dudes that goes this season (as the producers have been threatening), I'll eat my hat.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Thursday, 10 February 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

Charlie you dumb cock.

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 10 February 2005 13:18 (twenty years ago)

Other assorted things I enjoyed this episode: Locke with FEAR in his eyes, fucking JIN FINALLY GOT SOME SUBTITLES, Sawyer all like "well howdy-doo doc, looks like we got FIVE guns", Claire remembers peanut butter awwwww, NO QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED WHATSOEVER.

I think he did have a point though when he was like "do you really think Ethan would've told us anything?".

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Thursday, 10 February 2005 13:21 (twenty years ago)

maybe if sayed shoved bamboo under his fingernails. i bet ethan isn't really dead. he's an alien.

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Thursday, 10 February 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

I think The Office ("off buying a paper company in Slough") reference was the only thing I liked.

Man, I do not know why I watch this show.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Thursday, 10 February 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

haha, I caught that Office reference too!

I liked this episode but I want more about the GIANT FUCKING SPACESHIP UNDERGROUND PLEASE.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 10 February 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

The Office reference was a nice touch. This episode was okay, but it was nothing special.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Thursday, 10 February 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

I want more about the little boy with eerie psychic powers please.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 10 February 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

The Office ref was great, of course, and the music that played during the photocopier demo scene (pre-vomitage) was funny - that scene seemed more of a departure from the usual Lost tone, but yeah, the whole episode = no questions answered! (I laughed a lot at the "howdy-do-dah-do, lookee here at this 5th gun!)
Aliens would be a nice twist, but really, at this point, anything would be a nice twist.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 10 February 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if those scratches on Ethan's face came from Claire or somebody else.

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 10 February 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

You know, I was thinking, what if those scratches on his face are from VINCENT TEH DOG? What if it's only because of VINCENT that she got free? I guess we'll never know.

I do like how they snuck a couple of things in under the radar in this episode. Like:
1. Locke is familiar with teh 9 mm.
2. the photocopier Charlie was trying to sell was the something-or-other C-815 (the # of the flight, the # on Kate's plane)
3. Sayid's "how convenient is it that she has amnesia/how did she 'escape' Ethan?" talk with Jack.
4. That conversation between Jin and Sun about Claire, it would seem that he...
a) actually cares about Claire and her baby,
b) suspects Sun understands more about what's going on than she's letting on, or
c) a little of both.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

Wait, is Jin the Korean man or woman? The Korean guy might understand a bit of English himself.

xpost
So the guns are out of the box now! There are sure to be some near-deadly hijinx with those guns. Sawyer probably already has all the bullets hidden away.

I don't get that Claire is still pregnant. So she was just having Braxton-Hicks contractions when she got kidnapped?

I felt a little cheated by the Charlie story. I want Hurley's back story and I want it now!

And I hate being reminded of that sickening imaginary peanut butter.

They say they've been there a month already. I guess I can give up on my hopes of the reverse makeover, where they all get really scraggly and skinny. Shouldn't their clothes be a bit more tattered by now? I guess they've got lots of dead passengers' luggage to plunder.

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

We WILL see Ethan rising from the grave before the season's over. He's already inhumanly strong, unless in Lost-universe it's possible to lift an adult by the throat and hold him at arm's length. And he already had the zombie stare down pat.

Seriously, Hurley should be doing a Jared Fogle by now, but if anything he looked bigger last night. They better keep that guy away from the craft service truck.

― Curious George Rides a Republican (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:16 (twenty years ago)

So she was just having Braxton-Hicks contractions when she got kidnapped?

That's what I got anyway, since, before her and Charlie started heading back to the Rape Caves and got hijacked by Ethan, her contractions had stopped again.

Actually though, I just watched the pilot the other day, and it would seem Jorge/Hurley actually HAS lost a wee bit of weight. I think the most noticeable, realistic physical transformation though has been Terry O'Quinn/Locke. His physique has DRASTICALLY changed since the pilot episode(s).

This epidode was LAME. How CONVENIENT of Charlie to lose his shit. It felt like the whole flashback buildup was just to dispose of Ethan and avoid any further clues or details about what's up. Waste of time this one.

― 57 7th (calstars), Monday, 14 February 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

I'm beginning to think that, like X-Files, the writers/producers have no clue what's behind all the mystery they're mounting.

― Huk-L, Monday, 14 February 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

I think the bigger problem is that, while the producers claim to have things all mapped out, their writing staff is MONSTROUS. Too many chefs yadda yadda.

Supposedly tonight's episode features ROBERT "T2000" PATRICK as Sawyer's con-man running buddy in some of the flashbackery! I think this should be a good one, if only finally having Sawyer in a situation wherein he's not the guy who has the thing somebody else needs.

ps Nicole/Leon if you see this check your gmail, I sent you that Dizzee track!

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

Thanks nickalicious!

I think that Sawyer may have had somehting to do with the death of Jack's dad, if you pay attention to that scene with him and Boone in the police station.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

I think Sawyer is actually Aquaman.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:20 (twenty years ago)

WHEN IS THE HURLEY EPISODE! I WANT FAETTY.

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:20 (twenty years ago)

Totally Nicole! He was all "Hey Croc-Hunter, don't you want to hear my side of the story!"...I bet Jack's dad was "the real Sawyer"!!!!

The Hurley episode is not the one after this (which is Jin's), but the one after that. From the looks of it, it may be the best episode all season. Myra Furlon (who plays DANIELLE, TEH FRENCH LADY) is listed in the imdb credits!

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

I bet they'll kill Hurley just to fuck with me, he's the last likeable character on the show.

Tonight is Drew Goddard's episode, and he is a continuity WHORE, so the show might actually make sense for the very first fucking time.

But I hate Josh Holloway and his community theatre style-skillz, so maybe it'll be yet another episode full of suck.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

It is pretty definitely confirmed that one of the main characters will die before this season ends. I'm kinda beginning to think it will be Sayid, because A) without him they will be screwed in oh so many ways, and B) his romance with Shannon is developing very quickly as opposed to being painfully drawn out as is the formula for relationship-building with long-term story type shows like this.

Of course, another side effect of the build-the-Shannon/Sayid-thing-quickly-then-kill-him-off possibility is that Shannon, who is finally starting to develop some kinda self-confidence, will be thrown right back into "OH I NEED MY CREEPY 'BROTHER' TO RESCUE ME" mode or something.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:48 (twenty years ago)

I've heard the one who dies is one of the biggest characters.

Hopefully it'll be Sayid though, Naveen can move onto better things.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

Plus his "Iraqi" accent is starting to piss me off a little.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 16:55 (twenty years ago)

That episode sucked.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 17 February 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

It started off with potential, a little grizzly w/ Sawyer's childhood story. And then, y'know, general suck.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 17 February 2005 02:19 (twenty years ago)

Except for Hurley, of course and always.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 17 February 2005 02:20 (twenty years ago)

Dude, whatever, this episode was excellent. They played us right into that "oooh, he killed Jack's dad" thing, and of course it was something so much different.

That story that Locke told Kate & Sawyer was so fucking creepy.

The clip at the end though, the promo for next week, that looked pretty exciting. "WE'RE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE ON THIS ISLAND AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT!" Locke gets all the best yelling lines.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Thursday, 17 February 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

Okay, see maybe it's this: there are great moments in most episodes, but sometimes no real cohesive tension that builds throughout the episode. Maybe this could be said to make it "interesting" though, in form, more representative of a real (?) situation? But ultimately it's a tv show - I like the characters, I like the story, but I don't like the meandering (with excuse as "background story/possible clues") that seems to go on a lot in place of proper story. Yet still I watch and enjoy it, so hey, they're doing something right.

The "I never" game scene was awesome.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

I have to say that this is arguably be the most charasmatic, believable, character-invested ensemble of actors on American television right now.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

After that story Locke told, his making friends with Walt doesn't seem out-of-nowhere AT ALL. I wonder if later they'll reveal Locke was 'different' like Walt is.

Cue Cozen: "JOHN LOCKE!"

Does anyone else think the whole chasing-the-boar thing might be [i]supposed to[/i] seem so much like a Native American visionquest, or is this another one of those I'm-reading-too-much-into-it things?

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if Casting was supposed to find a character whose eyes resembled boar's for the shrimp shack.

(That's gotta be one of the weirdest sentences I've typed in a while.)

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

I have to say that I think you may be right, Dan. I just thought about this and realized: I love them all; I don't want anyone to die, please.
xpost

I really want them to talk about toilet issues soon though. You'd think it would've come up. This would make for some good comedy/humanity. Also, time frame - how long have they been there now? (sorry, I don't read the Lost websites or anything, just this thread!)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

They have done toilet issues! That one time Hurley was talking to Jack about his stomach being all fux0red up (while gathering leaves) and Jack was like "you're not gonna eat those are you?" and Hurley was like "dude, these aren't for eating" before he trundled off into the woods towards the sweet release.

In the preview for next week they said they've been there almost a month now.

― known vaginatarian (nickalicious), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:22 (twenty years ago)

The fire alarm here went off w/ 10 minutes left! WHA' HAPPENED?

― Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

The boar and most of the other allegorical/metaphorical things that have gone on all seem fairly vision-quest-y - maybe this is all one big peyote trip/alien drug induced nightmare/drrrreeaaam... (but I freakin' hope not.)

haha, Maria - "Casting call: older men with boar-like eyes, southern drawl."

Ah, yes, of course, Hurley's toilet issues. But are there latrines? I'm simply curious and I figure they're drawing the story out so why not mention these details of everyday life every once in a while. More details, toilet and non-toilet, to enhance the narrative flow, please.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 17 February 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

I was close, Sawyer isn't Aquaman, he's Batman. Maybe Locke is Aquaman. Or Ethan was. Someone has to be Aquaman!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 February 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

Supposedly, that Korean gobbledygack on the screen while Hurley is on the TV the little girl's watching is something like "lucky winner los angeles" or something.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 February 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

That makes sense.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 24 February 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Okay, one of the not-subtitled lines in Korean, while everybody's on the beach yelling at Jin and then Sun is all like "HOLD UP YATCHEZ I SPEAKAH THE ENGLISH", apparently Jin says he caught Walt lighting the raft on fire and burned his hands trying to put it out, but she never translates it into English for Michael.

But what I want to know is, did Walt just light it up with a torch? Or did he use some of his special superkid powers again?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:51 (twenty years ago)

Firestarter/backgammoner!

He lit the fire WITH HIS MIND obv.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

I figure, that's a pretty appropriate "GOTCHA" to get on his dad, after his dad burned his comic book (a method of 'escape' omg, even if it's only escapist cartoon literature).

― Huk-L, Thursday, 24 February 2005 19:14 (twenty years ago)

Unsubtitled translations from the Fuselage:

Jin (to Sun): You don't believe me either? (Michael asks, what did he say?) It's not me. It's not me. I didn't start the fire, okay?

During the fight:
Jin: When I walked by, the fire was already burning. My hand got this way when I tried to put the fire out.

After Michael asks Sun why Jin would run away if he didn't do anything, she says to Jin, amazingly enough, "He's asking why you ran away if you didn't do anything wrong."

15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Thursday, 3 March 2005 13:18 (twenty years ago)

I'm so disappointed they didn't spring for the licensing to play the actual music from the Twilight Zone at the end when they showed the numbers on the hull of the buried spaceship.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 3 March 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

42 is the natural vibration frequency of human DNA! Google told me so!

What a great episode! I love that it left the notion of Hurley's mental health open-ended for future flashbackery, and that the only one he told about his dealio back home, Charlie, doesn't believe him! Plus, little does Walt know that, if they get back to civilization ever, Hurley is totally good for the $83,000 he owes him!

Plus, dude owned A BOX COMPANY IN TUSTIN! Locke worked at A BOX COMPANY IN TUSTIN! JOHN LOCKE!!!! < /c0z3n>

Those scenes where Locke had Claire help him build the cradle, those were sweet and only a little bit creepy. Only really creepy because of her dream (do we remember that far back?)

The scene where Hurley almost freaked out on Danielle and then she opened up to him and then he hugged her was so beautiful! "You must be the French chick" haha.

I'm glad the show isn't all about the sexual tension between Kate and her boys. So many shows center so completely on unrequited love.

I loved her line about "I'm pregnant, single, and stranded on an island in the middle of the Pacific, does it really matter that it's my birthday?".

Also that one where Jack was like "okay guys, stay there, we'll find our way around and meet you guys" and Hurley's like "SCREW THAT, there's a path here, how bout you guys stay over there and we go on" haha.

Sawyer was reading A WRINKLE IN TIME btw.

Is the boy going to set fire to the raft again with his mind while Sawyer's engrossed in reading?

So Locke owns Boone, Walt, Claire and Charlie a little bit. And what's her face, the sister.

4 years since Locke last walked, 4 aces on Boone's shirt
flight 815, safety deposit box 815
Danielle has been there 16 years
23 skidoo

I read on teh fuselajh that the Chinese symbols on Boone's shirt translate into "container" or "coffin"! And he was the one talking about redshirts! Dun dun DDUUUUUUUUUUUN!

That thing where Hurley was doing the press conference and Hurley was all like "the first thing I'm gonna do with my money is make sure my grandpa [who has worked 3 jobs for 52 years] gets some rest" and then HEART ATTACK GRANDPA TITO YOU ARE DEAD...that scene really got me!

This was a very sad episode, come to think about it.

I'd like to thank Scott once again for his herculean efforts in the thread title which caused me to start downloading this show from the internet, knowing nothing at all about it. Last night's episode alone was worth it. I thought it should have been the season finale, personally.

I've also missed a few episodes due to fucking WORK and FAMILY OBLIGATIONS and other bullshit barriers to watching television. I'm buying the DVD as soon as it comes out.

I'm sort of getting concerned that the writers are just throwing out all sorts of crazy shit and don't really have a good idea of where they're going with it. It's not like it's a normal drama and they're setting up sexual tension between potential couples that they can just forget about if the audience doesn't like it, there needs to be some sort of resolution to some of the plotlines eventually.

(What did Hurley say to Sawyer about Harry Potter?)

"Looks like somebody steamrolled Harry Potter."

It looks like this is the beginning of a major test of these survivors though - Locke losing his legs, Charlie now is going to have to fight the temptation to get high again (you KNOW he's going to find out about the drugs), next week it looks like Jack is going to have a struggle with his confidence & ability as a doctor and leader...wow.

Also: the drugs were packed in little VIRGIN MARYS, after his mother told him he was the immaculate conception. FUCK.

I thought the episode was kinda meh. The father / son reunion was unbelievable. The scene with the plane was great, though. And I'm wondering what's inside that huge pod now.

― 57 7th (calstars), Thursday, 31 March 2005 13:24 (twenty years ago)

This was the first episode I've seen since, like, the first eight. I had given up on the show because there were so many loose ends I knew the likelihood of them getting tied up before the inevitable season 3 cancellation was nil. Last night's ep only confirmed in my mind that "Lost" is basically "Twin Peaks" on an island, and we all know what happened there. Entertaining, though.

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Thursday, 31 March 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

Also: I'm not sure, but I'm fairly certain that the response to Boone's "we're the survivors of Oceanic 815" was met with a "there were no survivors of Oceanic 815" on the other end of the transmission. CONSPIRACY A GO GO.

Also also: that part where Sawyer was like "can you KEEP IT DOWN"...I think those three red shirts are going to be season 2 regulars. The one on the left was Scott/Steve (whichever one Ethan didn't kill to death).

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 31 March 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

Anyone else think the noise the plane made as it teetered and fell was the same sound that accompanies the mysterious crashing of trees that happens now and then?

― nickn (nickn), Thursday, 31 March 2005 21:05 (twenty years ago)

I forced my developmentally disabled clients to watch it (I was subbing in for a shift), and they were stunned.
They mostly like "COPS", or Lifetime movies. First, they asked what it was about, and I said "A bunch of people survive an airplane crash and end up on a deserted island. But it's really creepy and cool." So, we watched, and they asked "Is this real or fake real?" (a fairly common question with this group of three individuals).
Then i realized I was going to have to force them to watch Survivor! tonight. Explained as: "A bunch of people are delivered by airplane to a deserted island. But they have to do all of these challenges, and it's kind of fun.It's real real. Lost is fake real. None of it is really real."
They were very patient about the whole thing.

― aimurchie (aimurchie), Friday, 1 April 2005 05:14 (twenty years ago)

they haven't done "next time on lost" at the end of an episode in a while =(

― La Monte (La Monte), Thursday, 7 April 2005 00:13 (twenty years ago)

okay, it's only CTV that doesn't show them apparently. what was on the preview?

― La Monte (La Monte), Thursday, 7 April 2005 00:18 (twenty years ago)

why are you sad, they did it tonight.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 7 April 2005 00:18 (twenty years ago)

oops, x-post with you. you don't want to know what they showed. it's too harrowing.

I predict that shiny hatch made Locke bulletproof, and he's going to get shot next week and just smile.

― Curious George (1/6 Scale Model) (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 7 April 2005 01:22 (twenty years ago)

Do you remember Lord of the Flies? There were two tribes, one led by the hunter, and the other led by the nice guy. The hunter's name in Lord of the Flies was JACK.

"Don't tell me what I can't do!"

The title of this episode should've been Sun And Jin Save The MOtherfucking Day.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 7 April 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

Am I the only one who was shouting "YEAH JACK! DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT" at the television?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 April 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

"Don't tell me what I can't do!"

I liked that they used this line again with Jack.

― Leon WK (Ex Leon), Thursday, 7 April 2005 12:49 (twenty years ago)

I was kind of hoping that Jack was going to completely snap and chop the body up into bite-sized pieces.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 April 2005 12:52 (twenty years ago)

I'm with Dan here. I was really pissed at the lack of amputation-via-door-slam.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 7 April 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

this episode was tres boring for something that should have been exciting. no surprises this week, I knew boone would bite it last week; I was hoping for a monkey baby or something but no dice. kate bosworth is totally dull and annoying now. MORE LOCKE PLEASE. Also, Ed-chick, Jack's wife (who must have some ABC contract since they keep pushing her appearance on that crappy Stamos show) was so annoying I was hoping he'd leave her at the alter or she'd die or something.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 7 April 2005 13:11 (twenty years ago)

I already had the post-amputation script written in my head, right down to Hurley barfing. oh well.

Sun and Jin were great!
Is it just me or do Sayid and Sisterlover have *no* chemistry? I wonder if they hate each other in real life? It's like watching 12 year olds kiss on a dare, eck.

I wonder if Locke will become the "spiritual" leader and Jack the "logical" warmonger. hm.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 7 April 2005 13:22 (twenty years ago)

"Is it just me or do Sayid and Sisterlover have *no* chemistry?"

It seems kinda forced. they could have come up with a better pairing.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 7 April 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

Sayid is way too cheesy as loverman.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 7 April 2005 13:29 (twenty years ago)

Monkey-baby, ha ha. Or chicken baby.
Kate Bosworth? I don't think she's on the show is she?
I feel like I don't need to watch anymore, just get updates.

― 57 7th (calstars), Thursday, 7 April 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

I was hoping the baby would have a tail or hooves or something.

― Leon WK (Ex Leon), Thursday, 7 April 2005 13:34 (twenty years ago)

dood died right when baby was born, right? now it's a ghost baby.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 7 April 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

Argh Jack's wife was the worst. What the hell was going on with her eyebrows?

― adam (adam), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

If Claire had had a monkey baby and the The Scissor Sisters had popped up from behind the bushes performing "Monkey Baby", that would have been the greatest scene in television history. (It also would have been "Scrubs" but that's another thread.)

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

Argh Jack's wife was the worst. What the hell was going on with her eyebrows?

Her eyebrows were the scariest part of that episode. Maybe they were mostly burned off in her SUV accident.

― Leon WK (Ex Leon), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

Jack's vows were ridiculously awesome.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:09 (twenty years ago)

I liked the sea urchin or whatever blood transfusion. It seemed very sanitary, especially on the fetid teeming jungle island--maybe Jack will go mad with blood poisoning (haunted by the memory of his wife's fucked up eyebrows).

― adam (adam), Thursday, 7 April 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

why do I always think that woman is kate bosworth? I dunno. you know who i'm talking about. botox lips.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 7 April 2005 16:28 (twenty years ago)

Jack's vows were awesome, yes, but his to-be wife's were even more awesome: after his dad read them, poolside with vodka, I was sure he was going to say "Son, you've mauled the English language here." haha, and then Jack said they were hers. I almost choked on my laughter.
xpost

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 7 April 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

I totally filed away the sea urchin needle information, y'know, just in case. I really want them to make alcohol (for, er, doctorly purposes) out of all that Lost-island fruit. And then play drunken Lost-island golf.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 7 April 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

I have watched the first twelve episodes and, despite just silliness and other probs, I am really enjoying it.

I should have said 'I plan' -- anyway, just not doing it for you, Mel?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 29 April 2005 02:00 (twenty years ago)

It's pretty badly written/plotted.

Don't bother.
-- Melissa W (MelCarame...), April 29th, 2005. (later)

It's alright Mel, your precious Veronica Mars has a second season.

OMG Sawyer IS the kid who was seeking revenge upon the conman that was indirectly responsible for the death of his parents, and he took on the name of that conman and started conning himself! OMG that letter is from him! How deep! What a twist!

This show was written by 6th graders on crack.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Friday, 29 April 2005 04:04 (twenty years ago)

I think you missed the point

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 29 April 2005 04:05 (twenty years ago)

The point being that this show has a lot of bullshit twists that have no real bearing on the plot or character development?

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Friday, 29 April 2005 04:06 (twenty years ago)

you missed the point

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 29 April 2005 04:08 (twenty years ago)

Explain it, then.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Friday, 29 April 2005 04:10 (twenty years ago)

They're all out to get you.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 29 April 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

"bullshit twists that have no real bearing on the plot or character development"

But the, uh, "twists" (twists, only barely unpredictable shifts in story arc, whatever) are completely 100% rooted in the characters' fears and beliefs and histories. There hasn't been one thing that's happened on that island whatsoever that hasn't had some bearing on one or more (if not all) characters. I mean, no offense, but this is about as OffTM a thing I've ever seen said about any tv show, ever.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 29 April 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

I mean, even the most shitty, ham-handedly written episodes have been ENTIRELY character development in nature.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 29 April 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

I do find it interesting though how people end up basically seeing so many different things in one tv show. And I will definitely agree that the writing on this show is occasionally borderline retarded.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 29 April 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

Sawyer gets all the best lines.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 29 April 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

Saying "The point being that this show has a lot of bullshit twists that have no real bearing on the plot or character development?" when you're a fan of Buffy is kind of incomprehensible to me.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 29 April 2005 13:58 (twenty years ago)

Hurley!

― Huk-L, Friday, 29 April 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

I've almost forgotten about the "plot" and sort of feel like I'm looking through a peephole into a hack therapist's office day after day. Which is a good thing - the content might not always be entertaining or well-wrought in itself, but the process of getting it keeps me hooked. Oh, I still want to know about The Hatch, but more wrt how it affects the characters.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

Supposedly, a retarded huge number of the more frustrating open-ended questions are to be answered in a kinda rapid fire manner in the finale, which I think is a great idea, as a fan of exercises in tension & release.

And Scott is OTM. I like when Sawyer was like "and I'm getting the evening news from a 6 year old", and then Walt was like "I'm 10!" and he's like "well then it must be true".

I'm kinda hoping that when Hurley finds the numbers on the hatch he flips out and beats the shit out of Locke.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

"as a fan of exercises in tension & release."

you can go blind doing that, you know.

― scott seward (scott seward), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

I can't think of a single twist on Buffy that wasn't heavily related to the plot or the characters and indeed the entire direction of the season. And it always actually made sense within the context of the show.

Whereas I can't see how any of the revelations about the characters on Lost have propelled the plot in any significant way, nor actually told me something new or real about them. They're window dressing.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Friday, 29 April 2005 14:58 (twenty years ago)

The plot is salad dressing.

― Huk-L, Friday, 29 April 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

Ranch or Italian?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 29 April 2005 15:02 (twenty years ago)

Thousand Island.
hahahahah.
sorry.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 29 April 2005 15:06 (twenty years ago)

I think the back stories of every character probably explain why they were in australia and, perhaps, why they're on the island.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 29 April 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

What does that have to do with the plot?

― Huk-L, Friday, 29 April 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

I'm never watching this programme again.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 29 April 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

Haven't some of the recent background digressions had some character overlap? Jack's father talking with Sawyer at the bar in Australia, for instance, or Hurley being on a television in one of the segments (involving the Korean couple maybe? I can't remember fer sure). I can't say how these overlaps serve the plot, how significant they are, etc., but I imagine these strands will be connected in the finale.

― rasheed wallace (rasheed wallace), Friday, 29 April 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

sawyer was being hauled into the police station when boone was trying to get someone to go to shannon's place, too.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 29 April 2005 15:16 (twenty years ago)

ep. 21 is rubbish, by the way.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 29 April 2005 15:16 (twenty years ago)

What's kinda interesting to me, is how much can they reveal in the Season Finale and still hook us for next season?

― Huk-L, Friday, 29 April 2005 15:16 (twenty years ago)

Whereas I can't see how any of the revelations about the characters on Lost have propelled the plot in any significant way, nor actually told me something new or real about them.

You mean, like, when Hurley, who, up until his flashback episode was played as pretty straight comic relief, got a look back on his cursed lotto experience and a) had to confront what seemed quite obviously a (never before explored) history of mental illness, b) had a direct PHYSICAL connection to the hatch, a central island mystery/plot point [not to mention how the man he got the numbers from reacted to the knowledge that they had been used in the lottery with a freaked out "YOU'VE OPENED THE BOX", if that isn't a direct indication that the hatch is a thing they should NOT be trying to open, I don't know what it], and c) helped explain in a large way why he's been so hesitant to really connect to any of his new friends in a meaningful way (as he's afraid they'll be affected by the cursed numbers just like everyone else he's cared about)?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 29 April 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

I can't wait for ep. 22.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 29 April 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

Melissa, I don't really care that you dislike the show but your dismissal makes absolutely no sense to anyone who has watched more than five minutes of it.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 29 April 2005 16:50 (twenty years ago)

I want to start watching this again now.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 29 April 2005 16:56 (twenty years ago)

I can copy you, cozen.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 29 April 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

i don't watching them all, it's just, is it worth it?

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 29 April 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

I didn't watch the clip show episode.

I don't know, some of the episodes have been terribly written (the Kate/Bank Robbery episode was probably the most dire) but the show is compulsively watchable anyway.

― Leon Jones Reynolds (Ex Leon), Friday, 29 April 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

i felt that way while i was watching it too. then i inexplicably stopped, and now i can't be bothered to catch up. i guess i was hoping that someone would tell me it had gotten all kinds of awesome since january.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 29 April 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

I love it! It may not be awesome though. I have low standards for tv I think.

usually an, hour, or, two, after the show, has, aired.

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

ah, and when does it air? I may wait up, to start a download.

if it's on at eight and it's online by ten or eleven, that is 3/4AM, here. hmm. perhaps not.

As usual with Lost, not a lot "happens" storywise but a fair amount happens characterwise. And hey, they're really the story at this point, I think. Sure I'm curious about the hatch and the crazed animals but I'm more curious about what the characters are going to do when they figure out the hatch and the original of the crazed animals, etc. Somehow that makes sense in my head but maybe not so much in these words...

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 5 May 2005 02:00 (twenty years ago)

Wow, Mr. Rock Hardy!!

really this was all just a lead up to next week and the HATCH

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 5 May 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

Walt was a little sweetie pie in this episode. I think he's kinda really afraid right now. And honestly, I don't care how close friends we are, don't wave to me while squeezing a dead dude's blood from your shirt!

Sayid's story, it was kinda heartbreaking. I just knew those horrible suits were going to make Sayid talk Essam into going through with it as soon as he went to them.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 5 May 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

not great.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 5 May 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

yeah i was easily bored by this one after waiting three weeks. i need hatch action asap.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Thursday, 5 May 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

I thought this episode was pretty flat in a lot of ways, too, but there were a few scenes that were super tense - Jack's freakout at Boone's funeral, Locke's apology to Shannon (while still covered in her dead brotherlover's dried blood, really smooth dude), Walt's series of questions to his dad leading up to the penultimate "are we gonna die?", and the whole flashback. I just think the "climax" was sorta anti-climactic. And the whole thing with the baby was like the most forced comic bit of any episode yet.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 5 May 2005 14:27 (twenty years ago)

I think Shannon now, too late, realizes she was actually as in love with Boone as he was with her.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 5 May 2005 14:28 (twenty years ago)

Walt was feeling all scared and guilty because HE WAS THE ONE WHO PUSHED THE PLANE DOWN WHAT KILLED BOONE.

she probably smells like shit, she's been stuck on an island for a month with no shower. her beav is a bit gamy at this point me thinks.

This being Lost, he'd take the gun right at the end of an episode with dramatic music playing--then we wouldn't hear shit about it for a month or two. The gun would then be stolen by a Frenchman riding a polar bear, again at the end of an episode. The next week would be a heartwarming story about Claire's ugly baby with no mention of W Crump's murderous intentions OR the polar bear. I hate/love this show.

― adam (adam), Friday, 6 May 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

There are 6 9mms and 2 rifles on The Island, that we know of - 4 from the case, 1 from the Marshall, 1 from the drug-runner in priest clothes; Rousseau has the rifles.

I think this show will seem not quite so frustrating on DVD, with no commercials, nor multiple weeks-long hiati.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 6 May 2005 12:56 (twenty years ago)

Did anyone else notice that the announcer said (paraphrase): "Stay tuned for the FINAL THREE EPISODES of Lost"?
He didn't say "end of the season" or anything like that. He said "FINAL THREE EPISODES."

Do you think they'll wrap everything up?

― Huk-L, Friday, 6 May 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

No, I remember hearing some of the producers saying how, if ABC would renew the show, they had mapped out the show into its third season.

― 64 Slices of American Cheese (Leee), Friday, 6 May 2005 14:09 (twenty years ago)

The creators/writers of LOST aren't entirely happy with the sloppy/misleading way ABC has gone about promoting it on a variety occasions, fwiw.

The next week would be a heartwarming story about Claire's ugly baby with no mention of W Crump's murderous intentions OR the polar bear. I hate/love this show.

Well, at least they eventually get around to things. Not like The West Wing/ What happened with Sam? Did he win or lose? How come no-one talks about him? What happened to Elliot? Did he get posted somewhere else? And where did Leo's daughter go? Does he not see her anymore? And what about Donna's Norny boyfriend? Did he dump her? Annoying.

Oh right, Lost. I hate Shannon too. Anyone who makes Sayid feel bad has me to answer to.

I liked the highschool science teacher bit - that is, omg, someone else on the island gets to talk and actually have an impact on the "main characters"! They should've been doing more of that all along (but yeah yeah, then they'd have to pay those actors more, but still.)

Also: That raft is PRO. (or at least *looks* pro - Michael's an artist not an engineer, so...)

Walt also freaked me out. Of course, they must now open the hatch. And Mac Astin's death was brutal, and sad to me.

― Chris 'The Nuts' V (Chris V), Friday, 20 May 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

5-6 years?! No way could I take that.
I'm so glad they gave Arzt more of a role! (I have some kind of soft spot for science teachers, maybe?)
And maybe next season's radical difference will be that it all takes place within the crazy realms beyond The Hatch, where time and space are not what they once were! Lost meets Twilight Zone meets Sliders! (hahaha, omg.)

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 20 May 2005 14:00 (twenty years ago)

I could barely handle watching Wednesday's episode. I was sure they were building to something really, really horrible, and I was like, "Why am I doing this to myself?"

― Huk-L, Friday, 20 May 2005 14:04 (twenty years ago)

I'm glad something's happening now, but I suppose the show's just gearing up for the finale, then the next season will be the usual drudgery.

The episode DID increase my old belief that the monster = Mechagodzilla.

The big disappointment of the episode was when Arzt stopped them from their plan to go blow up the hatch - but didn't ask "Uhm, how are we going to hide in there if you've BLOWN UP THE DOOR?"
I can't remember ever having been so disgusted with myself for following a show as this one. It's like I've gone so deep in now that I can't just stop. Bastards.
Oh wait, I did see a rather large amount of Love Boat episodes when I was 13 or so, because I had nothing better to do in the hour between finishing school and heading out on my paper route.

Wouldn't it rule if Lost ended by them being saved by the Love Boat? And not that NEW Love Boat crap, no we need Isaac and Stubing and all the gang. Except Gopher. Fuck that guy.

― Øystein (Øystein), Friday, 20 May 2005 14:48 (twenty years ago)

DUDEZ, THE BLACK ROCK IS A MOTHERFUCKING PIRATE SHIP. Hands up if you saw THAT coming.

For real though, WTF, I was expecting some excitement and running around and stuff, but actually this episode was, like, SUPER WEEPY. Especially when Sun gave Jin that book of English words spelled out phonetically and they were all like "WTF IS UP WITH OUR LOVE?". And the one where Walt gave Shannon the dog was good too. But the raft sailing away scene, that one did it. "VINCENT, GO BACK!".

Oh, and, like, did NOBODY else besides Locke realize how much those scratches on Danielle's arm looked like the ones on Ethan's face? HE KNOWS...SOMETHING.

(PS did that scene where they were fixing the raft and Michael was all like "this goes here, that goes there" to Jin remind anyone else of Han and Chewie in Empire Strikes Back?)

i did too - i was sooo tense during the whole episode, i was absolutely wrecked during, um, the stuff with the raft. my friend has a theory that they're all actually dead and in purgatory so for awhile i was thinking 'the people on the raft are going to heaven maybe'. o and mechagodzilla returned and it was good to see locke really scared for a sec like 'o shit i thought it was a regular godzilla, i'm down with them. this is a mechagodzilla - wtf do i do now?'.

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:13 (twenty years ago)

i was all thinking that when they were spotted by the boat, the boat was going to say that they were only 10 miles from Florida and next season would be them trying to find the island again. but then it turned into some sort of willy wonka deliverance.

― h0t h0t h0rsey (Carey), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:32 (twenty years ago)

part of me thought they were gonna go for the obvious and have the dudes wake up on the boat and find that they had been washed ashore onto the island.

hahahahaha o god i wish they'd done that

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:46 (twenty years ago)

I sorta wondered if it would be some Prisoner-ass shit like that, i.e. they get rescued by some big boat and get taken back to the 'mainland' which turns out to be the Island of course.

I've only seen the two-part finale but my girlfriend filled me in on most of the backstory, I enjoyed it. She was kinda bummed that we didn't actually get to see what's down the hole but the narrow pit with only a few feet of ladder was kind of freaky.

That speech dude gave as he blowed himself up real good was friggin HILARIOUS. I was pretty amazed with the comedic touches in this episode. Hurley's boarding-the-plane sequence was nice. And the thumbs up to Walt, so hilarious and heart-breaking at the same time. And actually one of the funniest moments was when Locke was like "you ever play Operation?" to the spinal surgeon. BZZZT.

I liked the parallels in this episode particularly. Sun musing to Shannon about how she thinks they're being punished vs. Locke's talk with Jack about destiny.

OMG they're showing the whole season again from the beginning over the summer! Hooray for SOMETHING until season 2!

So it's like confirmed now that Michelle Rodriguez is going to have a starring role in Season 2, and, although maybe not in a starring role, L. Scott Caldwell (who played "Rose"), will be back. There's also an incredible extremely unconfirmed internet rumor that Samuel L. Jackson will be on next season also, playing "Bernard" (Rose's husband)! Holy crap. I heart this show.

The reruns are on at ten on wed. Hopefully they'll show them on saturdays as well.

On the lost board via IMDB they said that sammuel jackson scenes were to be flashbacks in the season finale but were cut. Another rumour from via imdb boards (possible spoiler)

apparently some star feels he deserves more money, the network said no to his demands so he will die in the second episode of next season and, unlike boone, will not appear in any future flashback episodes

Look at the letter from the president on the homepage. Highlight the text and you'll see a bar on the right. Grab onto the bar and you can move around what turns out to be a jpg of a deleted script page.

Oooooohhhhhh. there's all kinds of easter eggs!

Robert D. West, of Santa Barbara, California, USA survived a horrific plane crash and is stranded on an island somewhere Northeast of Australia and Southwest of Hawaii. In the event that I am never found, please forward word of my fate to parents, Mr. and Mrs. John West, of Tucson Arizona. Thank you.

here's another:

If anyone should find this message, please get word to Sandra Rafflethorpe of Palm Avenue in Lewiston, Idaho that her sister, Sally is alive and stranded on an island somewhere in the South Pacific. Please send help soon. Things are bad. And they're getting worse...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Rumored to exist by locals in the Amazon jungle of Brazil, the Mapinguari is said to be a giant sloth-like creature. The creature is reported to be up to 2 meters in length.
It is unclear if the Mapinguari truly exists. Ornithologist David C. Oren, head of the Zoology Division of [Emilio Goeldi Museum] http://www.museu-goeldi.br/ in Belem, Brazil, spent 8 years gathering accounts of the animal.

The ABC TV series Lost (2004 television series) contains a mysterious assailant some have speculated is meant to be a Mapinguari of sorts. "HUGE. Mechanical and biological. Godlike and profane. A massive, multi-tentacled robotic beast resembling a primordial mapinguari - only partially obscured in a cloud of acrid smoke."

One thing I loved about the first episode in retrospect is how Locke had like NOT ONE SPOKEN LINE, and was just this random bald guy who liked getting rained on or something.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 2 June 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Take a look at the page http://www.driveshaftband.com/flight815.htm in particular- a couple of dummy "where are they?" articles from fictional magazines.
One intriguing one is this:

Tech Watch
by Jake Prendergast
Gizmo Digest
October 2004

Have you seen the ads for that new handheld? The one with the phone, mp3 player, internet access, digital camera and email capabilities that is small enough to fit into a Sucrets box? No? Well, the likelihood of you finding one of those at your local tech store just got a little slimmer. The reason why no one will be getting one of those for Christmas is because the man whose innovative technology was going to make that possible is now missing.

Do you remember Flight 815, the plane that mysteriously disappeared on its way from Sydney to LA? In seat 23-C sat Harold Wollstein, who was poised to lead the next wave of digital technology. The man that would make a watch-sized blackberry a thing of the present joined the fate of the other 400+ passengers.

We don't know what happened to Harold any more than we know what happened to his research. Word in Silicone Valley is that all of Harold's research was in his laptop on board the plane, headed to an important meeting with the CEOs of the companies leading the nano-technology revolution. But the truth may never be discovered, about the crash or about Harold's top secret work.

A season 2 regular perhaps?
I am such a geek for this show, it's sad...

New cast member to join the other castaways on ABC show Lost
NEW YORK (AP) — Michelle Rodriguez is getting Lost full-time.
The 26-year-old actress will join the cast of the stranded-on-an-island drama when production resumes for its second season, ABC announced.
In a flashback scene on the season finale, Rodriguez played Ana-Lucia Cortez, a passenger on doomed Oceanic flight No. 815, who flirted with Jack Shepard, played by Matthew Fox, at an airport bar in Sydney, Australia.
Rodriguez first caught the attention of movie audiences as a boxer in 2000’s Girlfight. She has also starred in S.W.A.T., Resident Evil, Blue Crush and The Fast and the Furious.
ABC didn’t specify what Rodriguez’s role would be when the show returns, but many Lost theorists believe passengers in the back half of the plane, where Cortez said she was sitting, are alive and haven’t been discovered.
Lost will air Wednesdays (9 p.m. ET) this fall.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 7 June 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

From what I've seen so far I'm not impressed with the fit babes to buff blokes ratio, but never mind. Is that Portishead song the theme tune?

― David Merryweather Goes To Far (scarlet), Sunday, 7 August 2005 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

In the U.S., there's no theme tune or even opening credits as such. Just the word "LOST" emerging out of a black background with a big scary synth chord.

I've watched the first 10 episodes and can't decide whether to watch the other 15 to stay in advance of regular UK viewers or not.

(for US viewers, I've got as far as Hurley getting the manifest and the guy - who I believe might be Alex - turning up with Claire and Charlie. Feel free to tell me I need to watch the rest NOW.)

eggy - standard US TV format of 45 minutes to be padded out to an hour with ads. There are 26 episodes in the series, although one of them is a recap show (Ep 23 or 24).

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 11:47 (nineteen years ago)

The first 15 minutes have filled me with an intense hatred for the only character to have had any amount of screen time so far!

If this Jack person is going to dominate the series I think I should stop watching.

I heard john wayne is in season two

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 18:58 (nineteen years ago)

Jack runs around barking orders at shell-shocked survivors, being rude to people, and acting like he's superior to everyone else. And he embarks on that terrible terrible story when the poor girl is sewing up his back designed to emphasise just how amazing he is at sublimating his fear. He's a cunt.

I just hate it when The Hero is signposted so obviously.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:00 (nineteen years ago)

one of the things i like about the show is how it really seems like it's setting Jack up to be the star in the first episode, but all of the dozen or so castaways get pretty equal screentime throughout the season.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:00 (nineteen years ago)

maybe wait a bit or stop watching, the lex

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

that is to say, the show is basically a series of trumping the expectations it builds for itself.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:01 (nineteen years ago)

Jack is sort of the hero all the way through, but people get pissed off with him big time, and he's a reluctant hero too after a while.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

Jack is getting even worse as this episode progresses! So patronising and so up himself.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

Although the only character I actually like so far is the kid.

haha if for some reason the show had to wrap considerably sooner than planned it would be funny if they had jack die and then had everyone else die within 3 episodes cuz they didn't have jack there to save their ass.

― j blount (papa la bas), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

actually i do wonder who's leaving cuz if it's jack or sayid things are gonna get interesting logistically. everyone else there is either insane (locke) or fucking useless (everyone else).

― j blount (papa la bas), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:16 (nineteen years ago)

is this the rumour that someone wanted more money? if so, I hope it is charlie.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

According to legend, the original pilot script had Jack dying in the first episode.

Walt is neither insane nor useless!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

the show was awesome when it went all horror-show at the end there!

I think I would love it a lot if any of the characters were vaguely sympathetic.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

I watched episode 11 instead of the pilot. Thanks to those above who told me to keep watching NOW, as I am intrigued as to whether I saw Ethan in the Jack flashback (which I am sure I did, talking to Jack's dad).

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

i forgot sun kwon - she's useful as hell too. the rest are either warm bodies or hot bods.

if i had to put money on it i'd guess charlie's gone - he's a relatively bigger name in the cast (he's hella prominent in the early episodes, they're clearly going 'lookee we gots a hobbit on our show!'), his role's been slightly diminished with time, he's easy to write out. my other guess would be the dude from oz, if only cuz his profile is relatively high and he's bolted shows before. noone got a caruso boost out of it (i'd guess of the guys the career helped most is either locke's or sawyer's and i don't even know those dude's real names). it's weird to that we don't know who it is - when someone bolts a show it usually comes out in the press, you usually know 'well they're leaving' well before their last ep actually airs.

Yeah yeah yeah, go on. Although if I'm about to start torrenting it all anyway then I guess I'll get ahead of the UK soon enough. Hmm.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:07 (nineteen years ago)

But I'd be happy just watching and not d/ling, if they weren't cutting it! It's just that yeah, the scene where we got a tiny glimpse of the pilot in the tree tops, then reaction shots, was badly re-edited enough that it left me thinking "er, did I miss something then?". And it turns out that yeah, I did. So pff, fuck C4.

You hardly saw anything of the pilot in the US version either, as I recall. It was all like "WHAT THE FUCK JUST WENT ON??" - that was the point.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:14 (nineteen years ago)

(I just looked)

you see the pilot's reflection, in the puddle, as kate picks up his wings, then, charlie says "how does something like that happen?" and you see a shot, looking down at the three of them, through the tree, with the pilot's bloody body on, for six whole seconds

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:18 (nineteen years ago)

OK, maybe five

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:19 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, maybe I was picking my nose.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:19 (nineteen years ago)

or something less acceptable

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:24 (nineteen years ago)

and you see a shot, looking down at the three of them, through the tree, with the pilot's bloody body on, for six whole seconds

Yeah, that's what we missed then, we went straight from Charlie to adverts.

― JimD (JimD), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:43 (nineteen years ago)

there was a swelling horn, during the shot, too

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:43 (nineteen years ago)

ad breaks are another good reason to download.

That link is more of a discursive preamble, actual Lost discussion is here.

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Thursday, 11 August 2005 05:12 (nineteen years ago)

N, have you watched the whole thing yet? i'm/we're halfway through now which means i'm lost between 'talk about lost us/uk' threads! last night we watched the BIG POLAR BEAR/walt-is-a freak episode. corr!

― Britain's Jauntiest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 11 August 2005 08:32 (nineteen years ago)

I watched the whole thing back in May. I feel a bit cheated/time-travellerish now.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:00 (nineteen years ago)

Haha I watched the BIG POLAR BEAR episode last night too, but couldn't make myself stay awake to see how CLAIRE EMERGING FROM TEH JUNGUL panned out.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:13 (nineteen years ago)

ok, so we're at the same point! great. i couldn't tell from the glimpse we got, but surely claire is now sans baby, yes?

― Britain's Jauntiest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:20 (nineteen years ago)

I'm pretty sure she was, yes.

Did you spot Ethan as the husband of the woman Jack's dad killed? Also, more obviously, Sawyer in the police station with Boone.

I also love how, despite two full Kate flashback shows, I am none the wiser. The US Marshall may not have been after her because of the bank job after all, since the heist was to retrieve the SPOOKY contents of the safety deposit box.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:29 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't remember seeing ethan as the woman's husband and, looking, it wasn't. it wouldn't have made much sense.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:36 (nineteen years ago)

The flashback was immediately after Ethan had beat the crap out of Jack, so it may well have just been Jack projecting.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:37 (nineteen years ago)

spotted sawyer! which one is ethan again?

― Britain's Jauntiest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:38 (nineteen years ago)

The WEIRD one.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:39 (nineteen years ago)

it wasn't him!!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:40 (nineteen years ago)

was ethan the one not on the manifest?

― Britain's Jauntiest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:41 (nineteen years ago)

The one Hurley discovered wasn't on the flight.

x-post Yes.

OK RJG, I must have confused him.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:42 (nineteen years ago)

as in real life, it takes me a long time to get the names of people in telly right. i have placeholder like "the moody guy" etc. this can last for an entire series unless (like her) i get to talk about / pick over a show. I don't think i got the names of anyone but Jack throughout the entire first series of 24

― Britain's Jauntiest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:46 (nineteen years ago)

I like how in this thread Hurley is called "Fat dude who calls everybody dude" for about the first 10 episodes.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 11 August 2005 09:49 (nineteen years ago)

btw, that should have been "(like HERE)" not "(like her)"

― Britain's Jauntiest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 11 August 2005 10:00 (nineteen years ago)

I'm the same, Alan, but Ethan was too well named for it not to stick. Actually, I think I'm generally much better on Lost character names than usual. SUPERNATURAL.

It's funny, the way people are speculating on the UK thread. Funny, because all the things they assume are going to be resolved one way or another... aren't really.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Thursday, 11 August 2005 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

just caught the end of the UK repeats of the first or first two episodes, with the lingering bloody-pilot-in-tree shot restored. I wonder: was it cut for time reasons before or because it was on earlier?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 13 August 2005 21:40 (nineteen years ago)

After a weekend marathon, I have now reached the end of season 1.

WHERE IS SEASON 2, YOU FUCKERS! I NEED TO WATCH IT NOW. (OK, I know it's only 5 weeks away, but...)

Frances & I were trying to summarise what we don't know about the main characters and I think there are only three real things.

Jack: why he "isn't married any more" by the time of the flight
Kate: what she did in the first place, that made her mother hate her and put her on the run
Locke: how he lost the use of his legs

Is that it? I'm assuming we'll get Danielle backstory, and for any new characters.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Monday, 15 August 2005 07:26 (nineteen years ago)

I think jack just didn't really love his wife or she didn't love him, enough--she was one of his patients and he had saved her life (never a good basis for marriage)

locke's legs, perhaps, have something to do with the transplant operation--maybe he was upset, afterwards, and didn't take the drugs or care, that he should have, and damaged himself

my guesses

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 15 August 2005 10:05 (nineteen years ago)

I suspect Jack's wife will have had the same realisation that he did during the poolside chat with his dad, that she was with him more out of gratitude than anything else and will leave him (possibly for someone else).

I must admit, I expected Locke to crash his car after he left his dad's house and lose the use of his legs that way. I don't think we know when the operation was, do we? Only that he was in a wheelchair for 4 years.

I'm guessing Kate killed her father, possibly amid some accusations of child abuse (the tape with Tom - "why do you have to get away?" "You know why..."), her mother refused to believe he could do such a thing and blamed Kate. Because of something she says in the episode where she's trying to get on the raft instead of Sawyer, it has to be something she believes she has sufficient mitigation to get off - "Even if they believe me, I'm still going to jail."

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Monday, 15 August 2005 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

When will They re-air the season finale in the US?

― Leeeeeeee (Leee), Monday, 15 August 2005 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, season one just finished in Australia, and I'm thinking of all the things about this show that are infuriating not knowing the answer to. For instance:

When John Locke was banging on the window of the hatch and it lit up, what happened?

Feel free to make a list of sorts.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 September 2005 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

When John Locke was banging on the window of the hatch and it lit up, what happened?

That's for Locke to know and you to find out. Gave him his legs back, though. Apparently.

I'm v. curious what they're setting up between Locke and Jack. There's the speeches about science vs. faith, and later Jack saying, "We're going to have a Locke problem." Could it be that Jack will go from meh to totally unlikable? Cause from where I sit, voodo mystic bullshit or not, you don't fuck with Locke, not even if you're a trained medical professional.

What is it about Claire's baby? That if she didn't raise it, there would be Great Danger? It's not the "boy" that the Others wanted, obv, but there's something spooky about that kid.

Also why is it, apart from her being crazy, that everything that comesout of Rousseau's mouth is a cryptic contrivance instead of a useful piece of information? Or maybe even a LIE? That'd be more interesting. Maybe if she actually spoke and acted like someone with a brain in her head. This is a question for the writers, I guess.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Sunday, 18 September 2005 03:06 (nineteen years ago)

Pehaps she isn't real?

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Sunday, 18 September 2005 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

The producers have been pissing all over those theories all off-season. It's all real. It's not a dream. It's not all in someone's head. Etc.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Sunday, 18 September 2005 18:12 (nineteen years ago)

4 years since Locke last walked, 4 aces on Boone's shirt
flight 815, safety deposit box 815
Danielle has been there 16 years
23 skidoo
42, uh, there will be 42 lostaways left after 3 more die teehee

OK I have just finished a huge season-one Lost-a-thon and found some more:

Kate and toy-plane-owning-ex-boyfriend made their time capsule tape on the 15th of August. That's 8/15 in Americanese.

Flight 815 boarded through gate 23.

OK. Two more. Still. Also Jack's dad is called CHRISTIAN SHEPHERD!! It's biblical. Dude.

The hatch = Pandora's Box/hellmouth thing was a bit crap.

I am avoiding all other sites because I an afeared of any Season 2 spoilers. So apologies for stating the bleeding obvious.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 22:02 (nineteen years ago)

To me, the variety and vagueness of all leads and clues makes it sound more likely that the writers are making it up as they go along rather than having a sturdy plan for the series. Isn't that kind of what happened with Alias?

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 22:09 (nineteen years ago)

And Doctor Who. The numbers = Bad Wolf.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 22:31 (nineteen years ago)

I like the fact we've already got two competing season 2 threads. I think one should be pro-locke, and the other pro-jack.

― JimD (JimD), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 22:40 (nineteen years ago)

Who's pro-Jack?

xpost Yeah, the thing about the numbers is that it can't possibly mean anything. The hatch, probably. Spooky backstory connections etc, that can be tied up. But the numbers are nonsense, and can't be anything but.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 22:43 (nineteen years ago)

So did the new one air yet? It's today, isn't it? What time is it in the US now, how long do we have to wait? six hours? eight? I'm about to go to bed, and I'm hoping I'll be able to torrent it as soon as I get up...
