Coming up a week from yesterday. You know you want to.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 00:54 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't finished wqatching the first season DVD yet, but I know some things already that I shouldn't. I know what we don't know.

1) The monster. WTF.
2) How did Locke lose movement in his legs?
3) What's with Kate and killing someone?
4) The numbers. This is so baffling that I would ordinarily angrily dismiss it, but it seems to be a central plot point. If they don't make more out of this, I'm going to be pissed.
5) Why is Charlie such a little tool? (This may not be a plot point, just a general question.)

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 00:58 (nineteen years ago)

this show is so the new x-files

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 16 September 2005 00:59 (nineteen years ago)

Aint it, though?

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:00 (nineteen years ago)

The X-Files was so much better.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:02 (nineteen years ago)

for a little while

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

Man, I spent 30 minutes making this great banner for the top of the page that was going to expand with the page width and shit and repeat and all that, but ILX won't allow it. It's here if you want to to see it, though the effect is sorely diminished.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:04 (nineteen years ago)

You forgot the red X over Boone's picture.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:28 (nineteen years ago)

But I did remember to put him near the end.

How I wish Shannon would die. It's amazing how lame she is. She can fuck Said, and he's possibly the coolest guy on the show, and she's STILL awful.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:31 (nineteen years ago)

Shannon became ridiculously awesome at the end of the season!

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:32 (nineteen years ago)

Kenan, that is crazy and awesome, the banner.
I am so looking forward to season 2 - where does the hatch GO?!, who will go crazier: Locke or Jack?, will there be heroin parties?, y'know.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:32 (nineteen years ago)

Shannon became ridiculously awesome at the end of the season!

Like I said, haven't seen it all yet. Still about 6 eps to go. I'll knock those out this weekend.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:34 (nineteen years ago)

who will go crazier: Locke or Jack?

The answer is obv. Jack.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:40 (nineteen years ago)

Whats up with the bright light coming out of the hatch in the promos??? I can only hope that season 2 matches up with 1. I don't know how long they can keep the mystery going without starting to explain shit.

― 57 7th (calstars), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:42 (nineteen years ago)

Maggie Grace (Shannon) has parlayed her Lost success into a starring role in a horror-movie remake (The Fog). Way to advance that career.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:43 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know how long they can keep the mystery going without starting to explain shit.

That's not a bad thing. You can keep some mysteries going, but they're going to have to explain SOMETHING sooner rather than later. I mean, throw me a frickin' bone here.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 01:51 (nineteen years ago)

The X-Files was so much better.

It was easily my favorite show of the time, and was one of the templates for this, but this is better, and I'll tell you why: it feels more totally realized. There are no stand-alone episodes. There are no characters that don't have something to do with another one. And there are 14 characters (instead of two), all very interesting (and loaded with pathos) in their own right. There are these big mysteries about the island, but I trust they'll tie all of this up into some common thread. How could they not? They pretty much promised to.

But the way these characters are developed, they way they both play off of our expectations of them and the expectations of the others on the island at the same time -- that's kinda genius. Because even after we learn that they are not what they seem to be, the others on the island still don't know that.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 02:19 (nineteen years ago)

Favorite moment so far: Sawyer and Kate playing "I never."

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 02:20 (nineteen years ago)

How could they not? They pretty much promised to.

Have you ever seen Alias?

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Friday, 16 September 2005 04:37 (nineteen years ago)

Alias is like three different shows.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 05:18 (nineteen years ago)

Interesting, if ironically unfulfilling, article on the never-to-be-answered mystery.

My two cents? Phallic signifier, all the way.

― Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 16 September 2005 05:43 (nineteen years ago)

Alias, on the other hand, suffers from a repetition compulsion; the repetitive cycles appear similar to the concatenation of empty signification inherent to the phallic signifier, but the motivation, I believe, likely comes from Alias's preoccupation with betrayal as a central motif, which in turn results in the quasi-interchangeability of character on the show.

― Leeeeeeeee (Leee), Friday, 16 September 2005 05:51 (nineteen years ago)

not so fast dude!! this could easily be the show's weakness: it's such a house of cards. and they don't really have the luxury of switching arcs if the main one fizzles or gets played out.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 16 September 2005 06:10 (nineteen years ago)

I saw a rerun of the season one finale the other day. With all clanking and stuff I was convinced the monster was just a bunch of clever booby traps, but then that weird cloud of something comes out of the ground after they throw the dynamite in. wtf.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 16 September 2005 07:19 (nineteen years ago)

Whats up with the bright light coming out of the hatch in the promos???

The glow of NAZI GOLD.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 16 September 2005 07:46 (nineteen years ago)

i'm watching x-files for the first time on homechoice replay. it's rub.

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Friday, 16 September 2005 08:36 (nineteen years ago)

It is a mixed bag, much like Lost.

I can't wait for this - but it will be awful having to watch it week by week, 48 hours or so after the Americans. Oh the pain...

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 09:15 (nineteen years ago)

I want someone to edit the first season of Lost, taking out all the boring bits (inc. a lot of the flashbacks) and condensing it into just the exciting stuff - would probably only amount to four hours of TV in the end.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 09:16 (nineteen years ago)

this thread is a little premature

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 16 September 2005 09:19 (nineteen years ago)

it's next week!

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Friday, 16 September 2005 09:22 (nineteen years ago)

he hasn't finished watching season one!

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 16 September 2005 09:23 (nineteen years ago)

I dreamt about Sawyer the other day, I was hanging out with him at a summer camp, and I kept being a bit wary of him, and he was pretty offended by my distrust of him, and I had to apologise. I also insited of calling him Dodge, cos "Sawyer doesn't suit you".

― JimD (JimD), Friday, 16 September 2005 09:26 (nineteen years ago)

of? on.

― JimD (JimD), Friday, 16 September 2005 09:26 (nineteen years ago)

i met a girl whose sister is married to one of the directors last week and she told me he said...

SPOILER ALERT

"don't expect to see the little boy ever again."

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 16 September 2005 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

walt is going to come back as the new guy from Oz.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Friday, 16 September 2005 11:07 (nineteen years ago)

Learning to relate to your wife, and not killing her,

Abrams has said that he has enough for eight seasons. So when we see Walt again, he'll be a man.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

now you're talking about season eight!!

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 16 September 2005 12:22 (nineteen years ago)

Eight seasons?! This is exactly why I have a love/hate relationship with tv. Maybe Walt will be turned into a mecha-beast!

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 16 September 2005 12:28 (nineteen years ago)

Will Sawyer, Jin and Michael swim back to the island? Would they be able to put the raft fire out and still use it? Argh.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 12:30 (nineteen years ago)

according to EW we get to finally find out whats in the hatch...next week. im dying.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Friday, 16 September 2005 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

PURE SPECULATION: Teenage Walt will be the last one standing as he defeats the monster in his shocking return, 3 seasons hence in the last episode. You heard it here first.

I really wish they wouldn't have changed the time. Damn Central Time Zone!

― Sparkle Motion's Rising Force, Friday, 16 September 2005 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

Surely Walt just has to imagine the monster/security system away and that will be that.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 13:13 (nineteen years ago)

Apparently he's not very good at imagining stuff away. Remember, he imagined a polar bear into existence that attacked him.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

I was always a bit unclear on the bear(s). I understand that the polar bear came from Walt, but I could have sworn the french woman mentioned the bear_S_ to Sayid. In which case there were bears that predated the one that Walt brought into being.

I love how shows like this make me type sentences like this.

― Sparkle Motion's Rising Force, Friday, 16 September 2005 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

Boon will be back in Ep. 1!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 16 September 2005 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

Boone should possess people and make them mindless and fey.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 September 2005 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

In honor of Scott:

― O'so Krispie (Ex Leon), Friday, 16 September 2005 14:33 (nineteen years ago)

There are at least three new regulars (including Michelle Rodriguez) this season!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 16 September 2005 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

Is anybody else part of the Oceanic Air Frequent Flyers Program?
Here's their latest missive:

Dear Frequent Flyer —

Greetings from the Writers' Room of Lost!

Well, folks, our September 21st premiere is almost upon us, and both the writers' room in Burbank and the production in O'ahu are working at a fever pitch to keep you in televisual goodness for the coming season.

Additionally, the good folk over at Entertainment Weekly magazine will be running a special advertising section on their September 16 edition (which will be available in newsstands on Monday, September 12). Inside will be an exclusive series of specially designed Lost trading cards.

Created with the help of the show's writers (that's us), the cards feature character information - both from the island and before the crash - as well as information about Flight 815, the mysterious hatch... and a few special surprises (but no, they won't tell you what's actually INSIDE the hatch — you're gonna have to tune in for that!).

There are 27 cards in total, and each issue will feature a set of nine for your trading enjoyment! Now, we know what you are thinking — "surely you aren't just sending us this email to sell us trading cards — right?" Right.

So here is a little more information about some of our upcoming episodes. Many of you frequent flyers already know the titles and writers of our first three episodes... and now, here are four and five!

Episode four will be titled "Everybody Hates Hugo," written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, and directed by Alan Taylor. Episode five will be titled "...and Found," written by Executive Producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof — and if you've been watching, you probably know which characters will be featured in flashbacks therein — the clues are in the titles!

We hope you will join us on September 21st — until then, thanks for getting Lost with us!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 16 September 2005 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

In which case there were bears that predated the one that Walt brought into being.

Shit, I didn't think of that. Yeah, that might be a bit of a plot hole, eh?

It is all Freudian, Kenan! Refer to my earlier posts.

yeah in the episode written by Adam Horowitz, Locke and Jack open the hatch the find the Beastie Boys career.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

Hahahaha!

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

yeah in the episode written by Adam Horowitz, Locke and Jack open the hatch to find a portrait of Mike D that doesn't age!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

AND TIBET.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

Horowitz should write Mary Cherry into his episode somehow.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

OR NENEH CHERRY. WALT IMAGINES THE BUFFALO STANCE.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

the hope of finding answers in the hatch represents the search for foundations. the ladder goes on forever and postmodernism wins.

I love it how in the off-season all the writers and producers and stuff have been devoting their energies into convincing the world that this show isnt going to be some neverending, pointless cocktease like the x-files was.

― Stuh-du-du-du-du-du-du-denka (jingleberries), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

in what way was X-Files a cocktease tho?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

Gillian Anderson never did a nude scene?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

Duchovny neither.

― Who the hell do you THINK I am? I'm the goddamn Batman! (Barima), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

in what way was X-Files a cocktease tho?

Because the truth was decidedly not out there.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

Although I now like to think that Jesse Ventura and Alex Trebek were behind everything.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 16 September 2005 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

I think Mulder was nude when he was trapped in that alien honey during his abduction.

But the truth WAS out there, and they found a reasonable chunk of it. Obv. there is always more. It went on only a little bit longer than it should've.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

If everything turns out to be a dream of one of the passengers, I will be pissed

I said the exact same thing while watching the previews for next season. Didn't that happen on some soap opera years ago? The whole previous season was just a dream? I remember one of my babysitters getting *hella* pissed about it.

Didn't Sunset Beach end with a character waking up and realising that the whole thing had been a dream but then waking up and realising that the waking up was actually a dream?

― theantmustdance (theantmustdance), Friday, 16 September 2005 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

Oh that is absolutely the worst.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

No, the worst would be when the axe murderer jumps out from behind the tree after the second awakening.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 September 2005 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

You know Dan, in a way you and I are two very different people.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Friday, 16 September 2005 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

The "they're all dead" angle would be pretty lame, but I'm pretty sure that's not where they're going with it.

I want the camera to pan out at the end of series 8 and for there to be a giant kid playing with his Desert Island Mindfuck Deluxe set.

But what I really mean is: OMG! LOST comes back in less than 5 days!! We finally get to see down the HATCH! And learn more about the "monster" maybe! And then have all those tensions replaced by more and even better tensions! TV in LOST form, I LOVE YOU for supplanting real-life tensions if only for 42-53 minutes at a time. And thank you also for the cute hott people.

Also, the effect may be heightened by the ookie sounds coming out of my speakers from the message board. When will I learn to turn that off and put on Harry Belafonte instead?

"Papaya nut... banana pie..."

Ah, now THOSE are island sounds.
