LOST (the tv show)

[Fooltothink55]

Something is wierd with that black lady; why is she always smiling and sitting alone?

[JimiThang1]

I don't know she's off her rocker I think...that or really high on Jesus one or the other...

[Trainer2375]

i thought it was a good episode tonight. i really want to know more about Kate's story though. I was a little confused to why noone was looking for Claire (i think that's her name) anymore :confused

i'm interested to find out why the bitchy girl's brother flips out about her talking to Sied (sp?). can't wait to see next week's episode :thumbsup

[johnbro23]

tonights episode was weak. They need to step it up.

The preview for next week looks awesome. Lots of action, and they finally show that big metal thing that lock found again. Maybe we'll get to see what that thing is.

[Beeshie]

Ahh Im so mad, I fell asleep during the espisode lastnight, I was so damn tired and now I dont know what happened, can anyone tell me... last thing I saw was when Kate opened up the envelope and got the toy plane (which Im confused about) can anyone shed some light to me as to what happened after that scene!?!
Thanks

[Pipsqueak]

man....crazy espisode...

there is some weird shit going on.....and we still don't have any real answers....

4 days.....and no Claire......

I bet we'll see a baby soon...

[snapmcd]

I keep watching it, but I'm losing interest somewhat. It's like every week has to be a huge revelation or catastrophe, otherwise the audience isn't satisfied.


Can anyone see this show going on for more than two seasons?

[spanishricehd]

What I wanna know is why Lock hit that Shannon girl's brother in the head...

[Sh()cker]

What I wanna know is why Lock hit that Shannon girl's brother in the head...

I think it's b/c Lock wants to look for the pregnant girl by himself,, and Lock doesn't want to worry about the guy???? I may be wrong (sorry I forgot their names)

[dmb6743]

i couldnt tell from the preview for next week, but it looks like shannon is gonna be eaten by that huge ass monsterish thing, coz she's running then all of a sudden is just lifted up in the air...hmmm, even though she's "useless" she's still hot. and the scene where she takes her bikini top off and sayide comes over to talk to her and she puts the towel around her was so unnecesary, but hey...it worked for me.

as for the episode, imo it was one of the weaker ones, but i dont anything so far can compare to the last episode before the reruns.

[barefoot]

I wonder what they found, and I want a "women of Lost " Playboy spread.

[dmb6743]

I wonder what they found, and I want a "women of Lost " Playboy spread.

you mean all three of them? :lol

and is your username in any relation to the band Barefoot? just curious coz they are amazingly good.

[Fooltothink55]

I wonder what they found, and I want a "women of Lost " Playboy spread.
I would love it.

[Mel4AU]

i know this is pretty irrevelant to the story line, but is boone gay?

[shoegal_97]

ok I just started watching this show and Alias, so now my wednesday's are taken care of...and thats a little sad but anyway....what the heck was up with that chick and the little air plane in that suitcase. I didn't really get that...but it was like the second or third episode ive seen so i dont know if im missing something or what

[IlliniGal]

i know this is pretty irrevelant to the story line, but is boone gay?
they haven't really answered that question, but i think he is, mostly based on shannon's comment about locke being his new boyfriend.

[shoegal_97]

which one is boone? the english guy?

[JimiThang1]

which one is boone? the english guy?

He is Shannon's (the hot blonde girl) brother.

[shoegal_97]

oh yeah! i was thinking he might be gay, cause of the previews. and who is locke?

[JimiThang1]

The bald headed guy (he was a cripple but after the plane crash he can walk again)

[shoegal_97]

oooh oh ok

[votequimby]

Ahh, time to try and get caught up after missing last weeks episode.

[shoegal_97]

holy shit that thing scared the crap out of me. anyone have an idea what the hell it is?

[luke7]

Are they sure that the monster isn't a dinosaur ?

[luke7]

This show is way cool.

[Mel4AU]

What in God's good Grace just happened?? :freak :ugh :eek

[mrmora]

What in God's good Grace just happened?? :freak :ugh :eek
What he said!

[shoegal_97]

who knows....im very very suspicious of Locke though

[meesholoski]

I keep watching it, but I'm losing interest somewhat. It's like every week has to be a huge revelation or catastrophe, otherwise the audience isn't satisfied.


Can anyone see this show going on for more than two seasons?

My brother said that he saw on one of the "LOST" fansites that up to 4 seasons have been thought of, but i dont know if they are written out yet.

[gotloveksmith]

i think i may have soiled a little when that monster killed whats her face but didnt really kill whats her face but she made out with her step brother

[shoegal_97]

i think i may have soiled a little when that monster killed whats her face but didnt really kill whats her face but she made out with her step brother

:lol yeah...i dont think they just "made out"....

[gotloveksmith]

i heard "the tape" will be released soon

[shoegal_97]

ooh can't wait!!! :evil

[JimiThang1]

Great episode tonight. So glad they didn't kill off the hottie! I was worried there for a second.

[siouxsiesue]

good show - love how it's about someone different every week :thumbsup

[bmtoups]

I've never watched a show that keeps me on the edge of my seat the whole time like this one dones. I think the writers are absolutely brilliant. It's my mission to get as many people to watch this show as possible.

[shoegal_97]

yeah the hour goes by so quick when i watch...i totally dig that the theif chick's story took place in new mexico....we take what we can get

[Ben F.]

You can only 'pretend' to kill someone so many times before it gets old (Charlie, now Shannon).

[batleon]

You can only 'pretend' to kill someone so many times before it gets old (Charlie, now Shannon).
I agree. I hope that's the last time they draw from that well for a long time. The show is too good to become predictable.

[Dave G]

I can't help but think of Stephen Kings book "The Tommyknockers" where some people find a spaceship buried in a small Maine town when it comes to that hatch.
It would be a blatant ripoff if it was so I'm thinking it's not, but that would explain the compass readings
Maybe the Island really isn't an Island.....

[shoegal_97]

i would be truly truly disapointed if it was a freakin spaceship, that would make absolutely no sense....although a lot of whats been on the show hasn't made sense

[dmb6743]

the show is based off of the book The Lord of the Flies.

[nubby]

Well what could the hatch be:
Nuclear Missile Silo
Bunker from world war 2 ?
Supply Bunker?

---------> All has to tie into the magnetic issue.

[luke7]

Locke is an angel, all the " survivors " are really dead, and he's testing them to see who is worthy of an afterlife. That's why he's able to predict rain and knows to solve everyones problems.

[VicforMsu]

the show is based off of the book The Lord of the Flies.

.....for the first three episodes.

I wrote a huge post a while back relating them, and now i realize that lost has taken so many turns that they can't even be related anymore. I liked yesterday's ... best so far imo. As for today, I gotta re-watch the first 4 episodes of :24 !!!!!!!!!!!!

[lwaltz#41]

Locke is an angel, all the " survivors " are really dead, and he's testing them to see who is worthy of an afterlife. That's why he's able to predict rain and knows to solve everyones problems.
That's pretty good wouldn't make sense. Why would an angel have a back story about being paralyzed then when the plane crashed, he wasn't paralyzed anymore? Plus, he's too creepy to be angel.

The best two angels ever are Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on "Dogma." (I hate saying "Angel" because it reminds me of the song which is just sooo horrible)

[spanishricehd]

Interesting episode...Just don't know what else to say...Not much sense seemed to be made...

[luke7]

All I know is Locke is the spiritual center of the series.

[lwaltz#41]

All I know is Locke is the spiritual center of the series.
Yeah, I'll give you that.

[barefoot]

looks like another polar bear is in next weeks episode. I wonder why they didnt eat the firstone?

[batleon]

looks like another polar bear is in next weeks episode. I wonder why they didnt eat the firstone?
Weren't they in the middle of a climb at the time? I don't think they could have carried the thing back, it was pretty damn big.

[shoegal_97]

i just wanna know that freakin thing is! and how reality isnt reality, like with shannon dying/not dying and when the doctor, whats his name???, saw his father but he wasn't really there...i dont know

[Mel4AU]

why does the monster sound metallic? i think the french lunatic people made it and are inside steering it.


wouldn't THAT be a letdown!

[dmb6743]

yea, so there's this girl in my spanish class and she looks EXACTLY like Kate, only with glasses. Facial expressions, everything. just some pointless info, but i saw this thread and it made think to put it up.

[dmb6743]

about the monster though, i really want to know why it didnt eat the pilot, and just spit him back out...that just makes it even more interesting.

[johnbro23]

yea, so there's this girl in my spanish class and she looks EXACTLY like Kate, only with glasses. Facial expressions, everything. just some pointless info, but i saw this thread and it made think to put it up.

Holy shit thats nuts... I just said the same thing about this one girl in my Science class. I was asking everyone around me if theyd seen the show to confirm that she did. Every time I see her she looks more and more like kate.

[spanishricehd]

Ethan is the Devil...and he can shapeshift...Which may account for Jack seeing his father, and Shannon being "dead". Ya never know...

[Ben F.]

Evangeline Lilly is on Leno in a few minutes (brunette convict).

[shoegal_97]

she reminds of that girl on charmed, the one that used to be on picket fenses

[johnbro23]

Lost is on in 15 minutes... just reminding everyone because it looks like a good one.

"more revealed than you ever imagined" (or something like that) from one of the promos for this week. :D

[KJ.]

When polar bears attack!

[luke7]

Sawyer, my only complaint about the show. How many times is he going to get punched for not giving up another castaway's belongings ?

[snapmcd]

Sawyer, my only complaint about the show. How many times is he going to get punched for not giving up another castaway's belongings ?

That's what I was just thinking! I've watched this show from the beginning, and certain details (like that) are starting wear on me. But I'm not giving up.

[luke7]

Thats one big polar bear.

[KJ.]

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! When is the next new episode?

[tdowe99]

Walt is the devil! ;)

[johnbro23]

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! When is the next new episode?

Thats exactly what I was thinking! They definitely showed repeat stuff in the "coming next week" thing with Sayid being kidnapped!

But that was incredible when they found the pregnant girl... I can't wait to hear her story!

[snapmcd]

Walt's got some bad mojo, that's for sure. Time for Alias!

[shoegal_97]

what a sad story, walt and his dads, im glad it turned out okay but what is up with him? that bird and stuff? I'm kind of glad they are showing a repeat cause there are a few episdoes i missed

[JimiThang1]

Sawyer, my only complaint about the show. How many times is he going to get punched for not giving up another castaway's belongings ?

Yea I said the same exact thing about this tonight...it's getting wayyyy old!

Walt sees dead people by the way...haha

[spanishricehd]

Walt...What to say about him...I don't know. But polar bears are scaaaaaaaaary. :lol

[batleon]

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! When is the next new episode?

Next week is the Sayid backstory (repeat), the week after is Sawyer's (repeat), and then we get three or four new episodes during Feb sweeps. I cannot get enough of this show...

[batleon]

"more revealed than you ever imagined" (or something like that) from one of the promos for this week. :D

The only reason they said that in the promo is because they were going up against American Idol for the first time and they didn't want to lose any ratings :D

[spanishricehd]

I like your avatar. :lol ;)

[batleon]

I like your avatar. :lol ;)

Thanks. I've been on the board for months and I didn't have one, and I'd been liking Locke since the beginning, so when he told that da Vinci story last week I knew I had to throw that together.

[johnbro23]

Next week is the Sayid backstory (repeat), the week after is Sawyer's (repeat), and then we get three or four new episodes during Feb sweeps. I cannot get enough of this show...

Damn, whats up w/ the long breaks w/ no new episodes? Is it because ABC can't make them fast enough? Or are they just trying to get people caught up who have just started watching?

By the way... how do you know about 2 weeks ahead already? And all the way into February?

[IlliniGal]

Feb sweeps means pretty much all shows have new episodes.

[shoegal_97]

I really enjoy lost and alias but my favorite show is life as we know it, i know i know, and there was like a 3 or 4 week stint where they werent showing it not even repeats, so abc likes to do that alot

[PedroPSK]

I was definatly surprised by last nights ending!!! I was expecting the dog or a boar or something but definatly not that!!!
I love this show....almost as much as 24!
:D

[luke7]

Was the pregnant girl still pregnant in the clip of the next new episode ?

[spanishricehd]

Was the pregnant girl still pregnant in the clip of the next new episode ?

We had it Tivoed, and we kept playing it back, but they kept it well hidden with shadows...

[dmb6743]

it did not look like claire was still pregnant. i'm no expert, but doesn't it take longer than a week for a women's stomach to get thin again after birth?

[Ben F.]

Just watched the high def capture of this tonight- and Shannon is right, they intentionally kept it hidden behind plants/shadows. I can't see the people who kidnapped her taking her, then letting her go unaltered. Not sure why they'd want a baby either. I guess we'll learn a lot next week.

I want to know what kind of weird stuff happens with Walt.

[dmb6743]

is next week a repeat? it shows everything from Sayide's episode, except i dont' remember anything "falling from the airplane" from that one... :confused

[JimiThang1]

Yea next week is a repeat

[Ben F.]

Fuck ABC. Film the episodes, air them. I'm tired of re-runs and slacking off.

[tdowe99]

I agree.

[JimiThang1]

Fuck ABC. Film the episodes, air them. I'm tired of re-runs and slacking off.
Well its either have the episodes spread out over an entire TV season or have to wait 6 months like 24 and Alias to get new episodes but those new episodes would be back to back until the end of the season.

[batleon]

By the way... how do you know about 2 weeks ahead already? And all the way into February?

There are plenty of resources for Lost on the web with this info. However, I will not reveal them so I can be the Locke of this boards, knowing more about what's going on than everybody else does ;)

By the way, to anyone planning on going to see DMB's Australian shows, when on the retun trip home you board your flight and see a Korean couple, a guy in a wheel chair, a coked-up rock star, and a woman with handcuffs on, get off the plane. Otherwise it's gonna be a much longer trip...

[_Scout_]

Hi, I don't get to watch this show very often, but I've liked it the few times I've seen it.
I was wondering if anyone else thinks they cast the actor that plays Sawyer because he looks like Viggo Mortensen of LOTR fame?

[shoegal_97]

i don't think that's why they casted him but i do think he looks like him not that you mention it

[dmb6743]

well Charlie is a hobbit in LOTR, i know that for sure...speaking of him, i saw the actor who plays him on I Love the 90's (92 Part Duex) the other day. thought that was pretty cool.

[Ben F.]

I was wondering if anyone else thinks they cast the actor that plays Sawyer because he looks like Viggo Mortensen of LOTR fame? No.

But I will say that I think he does a good job filling the role they cast him for.

[shoegal_97]

there's something intriguing about his character that appeals to me more than jack?(the doctor)...I kind of think kate?(the criminal chick) likes jack because of his looks but i think she's kind of intrigued by sawyer....sorry if i got the names mixed up

[_Scout_]

well Charlie is a hobbit in LOTR, i know that for sure...speaking of him, i saw the actor who plays him on I Love the 90's (92 Part Duex) the other day. thought that was pretty cool.


right, Dominic Mougnahan (sp)
I like his character. Is he clean yet?

[_Scout_]

it's the bad boy thing :evil

[_Scout_]

No.

But I will say that I think he does a good job filling the role they cast him for.


well, no one agrees with me, but I think hollywood does that kind of thing sometimes.
You are correct though, he plays the character well.

[shoegal_97]

well i had been trying to think of who he kept reminding me of and now thanks to you i know! he may even be better looking than good ol' viggo

[_Scout_]

well i had been trying to think of who he kept reminding me of and now thanks to you i know! he may even be better looking than good ol' viggo

I actually gave that exact question some thought and I think my vote is for Viggo.

[shoegal_97]

maybe your right...lol

[spanishricehd]

Just watched the high def capture of this tonight- and Shannon is right, they intentionally kept it hidden behind plants/shadows. I can't see the people who kidnapped her taking her, then letting her go unaltered. Not sure why they'd want a baby either. I guess we'll learn a lot next week.

I want to know what kind of weird stuff happens with Walt.

My mom was thinking that Ethan is the Devil, and needs the baby to stay alive or something like that...

[Ben F.]

In the most respectful way you can manage, tell her she's wrong.

[spanishricehd]

In the most respectful way you can manage, tell her she's wrong.

:lol I know...Didn't make much sense to me, either...

[batleon]

I'm fairly certain Ethan will be in the next new episode, if only in flashback form (Charlie or Claire)

[dmb6743]

so is this week's seriously a re-run? i could have sworn i dont remember anything being "dropped from the airplane" in the episode with the french lady...and it just seems like a random episode/place/timing for a re-run.

[batleon]

i could have sworn i dont remember anything being "dropped from the airplane" in the episode with the french lady....

The golf clubs... they're referring to the golf clubs Hurley found in that episode.

[johnbro23]

By the way, to anyone planning on going to see DMB's Australian shows, when on the retun trip home you board your flight and see a Korean couple, a guy in a wheel chair, a coked-up rock star, and a woman with handcuffs on, get off the plane. Otherwise it's gonna be a much longer trip...

Hahah good one :)

Dr. Pepper- The preview for next week looked half new and half old for me. The sayid thing was definitely old, but I didnt remember the plane thing. Maybe its just ABC's way of making us watch it because we don't know if its a rerun or not.

[batleon]

My mom was thinking that Ethan is the Devil, and needs the baby to stay alive or something like that...

Actually, after this week's episode, I'm thinking Walt might be the devil ;)

[spanishricehd]

Actually, after this week's episode, I'm thinking Walt might be the devil ;)

You never know...

[johnbro23]

****** SPOILER *******






I was reading the TV guide mini magazene at work and they had a section on Lost. I wasn't going to buy it, so I can't type word for word what it said, but I'll tell you the highlights.

The article was mostly about how the cast has fun together on set. That was kinda boring. They had little write-ups on all the charachters (just what they've done so far) and whats next for each charachter. I'll try to remember each one.

Jack: nothin interesting
Kate: Shes drinking (?) with Sawyer and they discover they have something in common
Clair: She suffers amnesia and doesn't remember anything that happened on the island! Oh yea, and she still hasn't had her kid.
Charlie: It just says that hes going to do something crazy when Clair's safety is threatened.
Sayid: Him and shannon get a little more serious
Thats all I remember for now, if I remember more, I'll post it.

They did say what was coming up for the next episode in the write-up. They said for the February 9th episode, that Ethan comes back to try and re-kidnap clair. They also said that Lock's and Boone's discovery (that door thing they can't get open) is the "most important thing", or something like that, to the rest of the story. The director said someone will die by the end of episode one. They said none of the cast members even know who it is.

[johnbro23]

Hmm I guess no one cares. :(

I thought it was interesting...

[spanishricehd]

I found it interesting. Thanks!

[johnbro23]

I found it interesting. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad someone enjoyed it :)

[spanishricehd]

Do you know when the next new episode is airing by any chance? ;)

[JimiThang1]

Do you know when the next new episode is airing by any chance? ;)

February 9th (thank you very much mr. president for ruining this wednesday)

[spanishricehd]

February 9th (thank you very much mr. president for ruining this wednesday)

Thanks! :thumbsup

[johnbro23]

February 9th (thank you very much mr. president for ruining this wednesday)

And you can thank ABC for ruining last week's with a rerun.

Is Bushey giving a speech Wednesday or soemthing?

[batleon]

Clair: She suffers amnesia and doesn't remember anything that happened on the island! Oh yea, and she still hasn't had her kid.

Poor Charlie. Claire's going to have no idea how close they got.

Oh, and from what I understand, on the contrary to what you read, we are going to find out something very interestinginvolving Jack soon.

[lwaltz#41]

Poor Charlie. Claire's going to have no idea how close they got.

Oh, and from what I understand, on the contrary to what you read, we are going to find out something very interestinginvolving Jack soon.

It's about time that Jack and interesting are in the same sentence. The only part of his backstory with his Dad was about the missing body. Other than that, I find Jack to be a really boring character compared to the others (Besides Michael and Walt...I really dislike them)

[batleon]

I don't know if it's going to make Jack more interesting, but it's definitely going to be interesting for the show. Jack is invovled, regardless.

[johnbro23]

Did anyone see the promos for next week???? It looks AMAZING!

They show a body bag too.... someone dies...

[somedevilguy]

i just got into this show...saw the first couple, and am picking it back up. it does look really damn good next week.

[johnbro23]

yea I can't wait... its going to be our first new episode in three weeks.

[malarks26]

I'm sick of seeing re-runs! :BANG

[barefoot]

:thumbsup I'm sick of seeing re-runs! :BANG

[Pipsqueak]

I heard on a radio talk show this morning....

the show is losing money BAD....because they've been filming in Hawaii, which is evidently 2 to 3 times more expensive than filming in LA.

They are spending something around $2.5 mil. per episode.

So.....
They are going to try to find a place in LA to shoot the rest of the season...otherwise it appears that our island captives are going to see a rescue boat very soon.

I hope it hangs in there!

[Pipsqueak]

http://starbulletin.com/2005/01/26/news/story2.html

[batleon]

Well, looks like this issue has more to do with "will Hawaii will lose Lost?" rather than "will the viewers lose Lost?" The show will continue, regardless. Still, if I were ABC, I'd be hoping the writers don't let them down, they need the show to stay strong for a couple of seasons.

At any rate, Feb. sweeps looks like it will be a good time for the fans. Four new eps in a row and they all sound very good.

[spanishricehd]

Tomorrow is a new episode, right guys? (finally...)

[Fooltothink55]

Yes indeed. I'm pumped.

[spanishricehd]

Thanks! Not that I'll actually be able to watch it tomorrow...grrrr...but that's what TiVo is for!

[batleon]

I am psyched for these next few episodes. Looks like some major developments, plus we'll finally get Hurley's backstory...

[luke7]

Time to find out what happened.

[johnbro23]

Pretty good so far...

[luke7]

I love that the show doesn't have a theme song, just the word " Lost " and that weird sound.

[luke7]

Ethan has Jason Voorhee's strength.

[Fooltothink55]

Yeah Ethan is fucked up.

[johnbro23]

AAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

WHY DID CHARLIE DO THAT????? :BANG :BANG

[Fooltothink55]

Great episode. Probably my favorite so far.

[tdowe99]

Love Triangle?

Or perhaps I think Sawyer is gonna be pointing the gun at somebody other than Jack.

[dmb6743]

my favorite tied witht the one before all of those chritsmas re-runs...amazing as always, and this show better not go off the deep end. but it did make me mad that charlie did that, and sawyer beter not kill jack, or else i will be piassed

[luke7]

They're going to film the rest of the series at Magic Mountain next to the replica of the moutain with the waterfall that's hole 8.

[JimiThang1]

Wow good episode tonight...I was not expecting Charlie to kill Ethan. Very interesting one coming up too...should be good stuff

[batleon]

:eek :eek :eek

Son of a bitch... Charlie got all :violent on us...

[johnbro23]

I'm surprised no one has topped this. A new Lost is on.

If you missed the first 5 minutes, it showed sawyer watching his raging father kill him mom and then kill himself. Then he woke up (that was a dream about his father and mother) and chased a boar into the jungle and hears voices.

[IlliniGal]

sawyer's hot.

[johnbro23]

sawyer's hot.

Kate is too. Maybe they'll eventually hook up :rolleyes

[IlliniGal]

i totally missed what the guy said after sawyer shot him.

[johnbro23]

i totally missed what the guy said after sawyer shot him.

Yea, me too. I kinda guessed that he told Sawyer that he shot the wrong man or something. I dunno. Anyone know?

[Emttox]

I *think* the guy who told Sawyer who the shrimp guy was did it on purpose b/c he knew he'd shoot him. Something about "I owed him money"
and then the (shrimp) guy said "it'll come back around"

I can't rewind my dvr until it stops taping *ARGH*

[clemson357]

its obvious the guy owed hibbs money, so hibbs told sawyer that bullshit so he would kill him

[tdowe99]

I was disappointed with this episode. Nothing happened!
Well, maybe there was some backstory, and Sawyer got screwed over and killed the wrong man. It was interesting that he drank with Jack's father.

Next week looks good.

[Fooltothink55]

Average episode, but I enjoyed it.

[Emttox]

its obvious the guy owed hibbs money, so hibbs told sawyer that bullshit so he would kill him

yeah, but I still don't get it after watching it again.
This show drives me insane! :lol

[johnbro23]

I was disappointed with this episode. Nothing happened!
Well, maybe there was some backstory, and Sawyer got screwed over and killed the wrong man. It was interesting that he drank with Jack's father.

Next week looks good.

Oooo... I didn't realize that! I was doing homework during it, so I missed little details like that.

So was that whole conversation after Jacks dad got fired from being a doctor? And I thought Jack told Sawyer his father was dead in that last scene?

[clemson357]

jacks father is dead

[IlliniGal]

he died in australia.

[tdowe99]

Obviously Sawyer drank with him before he died. ;)

[JimiThang1]

Yea decent episode tonight. More backstory than anything. I think down the line this will either bring sawyer and jack together or make them go further apart now that we know sawyer knows that that was jack's father.

[batleon]

I had heard that a Jack-Sawyer connection would occur in this episode, but this wasn't exactly the way I thought it would happen. Still, a pretty good episode regardless. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more "connections" like the Sawyer-Jack's Dad conversation as time goes on.

And I heard Robert Patrick will be back again before the end of the season, so Hibbs may be a more important character than we think.

[spanishricehd]

Finally seen the last two episodes. Good. I want a boar. They're cute. :lol

[luke7]

The title of this Wednesdays episode is "....In Translation. "

[batleon]

The title of this Wednesdays episode is "....In Translation. "

Yep. Supposed to be centered on Jin. Should be interesting.

[Beefsteak1138]

Finally seen the last two episodes. Good. I want a boar. They're cute. :lol
....and tasty.

[Matt]

Am I the only one who is tired of the background episodes, and just wants something to happen on the island for Chrissake?

[Mel4AU]

no you're not. i want the action to start.

[Matt]

no you're not. i want the action to start.
It's tough. I started watching this show right when it debuted, and I'll admit it's interesting. But it's gotten to the point where it's like going from Filet Mignon (24) to a hamburger (LOST).

ooh, we are on the same wavelength. i've never watched 24 before this season and it's totally rockin my socks off. i was really loyal to lost when it first came on but now it's all about the 24. i'm still going to try to stay semi loyal to lost though. i'm rootin for it.

[Beefsteak1138]

If you wanna jerk off to 24, go to that thread ;)

I somewhat agree. I still think the program is solid but its about time some questions got answered.

[Mel4AU]

If you wanna jerk off to 24, go to that thread ;)

I somewhat agree, however I still think the program is solid but its about time some questions got answered.

oy. there will be no jerking off on my end, thank you.

[batleon]

no you're not. i want the action to start.

I think you're going to have to wait. This week and next look to be like more background, and then they go on break for 6 weeks. There might be something good next week (probably a cliffhanger type ending) but then we're stuck waiting until mid-April :BANG

You 24 people are spoiled with your "non-stop season" :24
That break between May '04 and Jan '05 must have hurt though ;)

[Matt]

Unfortunately I've read that they're going to keep the "secrets" of the island just that, secrets, until the show can go on no more. Kind of makes me wish they'd just end it, then.

[Mel4AU]

so i'm never going to know what the big bad monker is that's creeping out the island?

[JimiThang1]

As a viewer of Lost and Alias, I can tell you that since Lost was created by JJ Abrhams things will be kept secret for a while. There are things from season 1 of Alias that have not been explained yet!

[batleon]

The problem with shows like this is that the "secrets" are almost inevitably a let-down when they are revealed. I watched X-Files for years and, ugh, what a mess that turned out to be (and I didn't even watch the last season and a half). My thoughts on Lost are, "so far, so good" but the last couple of episodes this season need to be solid if this series is going to have a real future.

[Pipsqueak]

yeah....
get to some action...

I'm tired of the background episodes as well. I'm almost frustrated enough to stop watching.....but I want answers before I stop. :24

[batleon]

Walking a tight rope. Give too many answers away and you have no story left to tell. Don't give away enough answers and people leave. However, with this many mysteries, you'd think they'd be able to give us something and still leave plenty of things hanging:

Why did they crash?
Who was Ethan? Was he alone?
What's the deal with the French Lady/transmission/science team?
Why's there a power cord coming out of the ocean?
What are those whispers Sayid and Sawyer heard?
Where'd the 40/50 yr. old dead bodies they found in the caves come from?
Why can Locke walk again? Why couldn't he walk in the first place?
What's in that damn hatch?
What's the deal with Kate: who'd she kill? What's with the toy plane?
What's the deal with Walt and his "powers"?
Is something wierd going on with Claire's baby?
Where's Jack's Dad's body?
What is the monster?

And there's more too, that's just all I can think of right now...

Why hasn't Hurley lost any weight?

[snapmcd]

Why hasn't Hurley lost any weight?

How much more pregnant can Claire get before she has that kid?

[Beefsteak1138]

Why haven't they figured out that Charlie is really a hobbit?

[batleon]

Why hasn't Hurley lost any weight? Why haven't they figured out that Charlie is really a hobbit?

:lol While he was still addicted Charlie should have called the drugs "my precious"

[nappa1]

Why haven't they figured out that Charlie is really a hobbit?

Just laughed out loud in the middle of my office - too funny! :lol

[JenLuvsDMB]

Tonight's episode looks pretty good. It had better be - the backstory is good and all, but come on!

[snapmcd]

Yeah--I need a little action.

[JimiThang1]

Tonight's backstory is about Jin, which makes sense since the last backstory about the Korean's centered more on Sun.

[Trainer2375]

i have missed the last two weeks :( can anyone catch me up real quick?

[JimiThang1]

Here you go straight from epguides.com:

09-Feb-2005
After the missing Claire returns with no recollection of what has happened since before the doomed flight of Oceanic 815, Jack and Locke formulate a plan of defense against her kidnapper, the mysterious Ethan (guest-star William Mapother), who threatens to kill off the other survivors one by one as the days go by unless Claire is returned to him. Meanwhile, the disappoint of Charlie feels of Claire not remembering him triggers recollections of a woman who had let down in the past.

The final scene in this episode had Charlie killing Ethan, point blank.

16-Feb-2005
Kate and Sawyer divulge dark secrets to each other while tracking a renegade boar that Sawyer swears is purposely harassing him. Meanwhile, Hurley and Sayid worry that Charlie is losing it after his brush with death and shooting Ethan to death in the chest. Lastly, a shocking and prior connection between Sawyer and Jack is revealed with Sawyer meeting Jack's father in a bar.

[Trainer2375]

thanks :)

[johnbro23]

Pretty good this week. Nothing interesting revealed this week. So everyone knows the Chinese lady can speak English... who cares.

[Trainer2375]

we already knew that anyways...

[snapmcd]

I'm trying to keep the faith with this show, I really am.

[luke7]

Locke knows everything. Didn't expect that Walt burned the raft. Solid episode, I'm just concerned how much gas this series has. Can they keep it interesting 3-4 years from now with these characters.

[snapmcd]

I never would have guessed that Hurley was a Damien Rice fan.

[johnbro23]

Wow, that last 5 minutes were amazing!

Who would've thought that Walt burned the raft? I think its cool that him and Lock actually like it there.

Next week looks insanely good!!! Can't wait!! I think a TON will be revealed in the next two weeks (not so much next week, I think they'll keep the "enemy" pretty well under wraps 'til next week or possibly the following week).

[tdowe99]

Hurley doesn't have much choice in his music.
I thought it was awesome how the batteries died.
"Son of a bitch!"

Next week looks great.

[johnbro23]

Sorry, one more thing, can we change the title of this thread to just Lost, or Lost on ABC, not "Lost"... it doesnt come up when you search for it so its hard to find when I want to top it every Wednesday :shrug

[greppson]

editted the thread title so people will be able to search for it now.:)

[tdowe99]

Thanks for the fast response, Greppson. :thumbsup

[Fooltothink55]

That was a great episode. Thanks Jason, nice move. :)

[dmb6743]

F' an R Damien Rice! my family just kinda looked at me when i started singing, great episode, my gut instinct was that walt did it, but i couldnt bring myself to believe that....anybody else notice Hurley in the tv set of the chinese guy's house? bet you didnt ;)

[Pipsqueak]

..anybody else notice Hurley in the tv set of the chinese guy's house? bet you didnt ;)

damn...I was getting ready to post this

I noticed.

it looked like he was selling used cars :haha

[dmb6743]

damn...I was getting ready to post this

I noticed.

it looked like he was selling used cars :haha

to me, it looked like he got arrested

[JimiThang1]

Good episode tonight...can't believe Walt burnt the raft. Something is up with that kid. He see's dead people or something ;)

[scoot_14]

I saw Hurley on the T.V. as well. Looks like another thing that points towards all of the survivors having some past linkage. Boone and Sawyer crossing paths at the police station, Sawyer and the doctors father, there was one or two others too I think.

[JimiThang1]

I missed this TV thing everyone is speaking of. I am going to have to go back to watch this now...

[snapmcd]

damn...I was getting ready to post this

I noticed.

it looked like he was selling used cars :haha
Wow! I did not notice that!

[tdowe99]

I wonder how Locke knew that Walt burned the raft.

[scoot_14]

I wonder how Locke knew that Walt burned the raft.

Good question.

[tdowe99]

I also thought that Locke did the burning cuz he doesn't want to leave. This was reinforced with his "we're not alone!" speech, and again at the end where he tells Walt that he likes it on the island. Of course he likes it there! He can now walk.

[JimiThang1]

I wonder how Locke knew that Walt burned the raft.

Very good question...maybe this reinforces the theory that Locke is God.

[snapmcd]

Very good question...maybe this reinforces the theory that Locke is God.

Whoa! I thought I'd heard all of them, but I haven't heard that one.

[JimiThang1]

Yea it's been kicked around in some Lost forums i've looked at. Some people think that the island is purgatory or something like that. And people believe that Locke is God.

[Re1212]

anybody else notice Hurley in the tv set of the chinese guy's house? bet you didnt ;)

Yeah I really thought I was seeing things. I had taped it and rewounded it a couple of times to make sure what I was seeing. Hopefully we get some back story on Hurley soon. Maybe next week.

[JimiThang1]

Yea Hurley's backstory is next week actually. I just went back and watched it. Man that is crazy stuff I didnt' even notice that!

[tdowe99]

My lady friend asked this.....

Do you think Walt took a torch to the raft, or did he do it with his mind?

[JimiThang1]

ohhhhh that would be crazy!

[gotloveksmith]

dont know if anybody said this yet or not...but couldnt it be purgatory??
they have all done something severely wrong in their lives and chances are, that they would be dead.....idk

[gotloveksmith]

damn it..i did a search...sorry

[JimiThang1]

Well JJ Abrhams has said it isn't purgatory. But the purgatory theory is the major one floating around right now so who knows.

[siouxsiesue]

well, if the island is purgatory, then Locke is St. Peter, not God.

[Talula62]

JJ also said that Lauren wasn't evil on Alias. Granted it wasn't in the original plan, or something, but - she was frickin evil after it was all said and done. ;)

Though it would be kinda disappointing if it were purgatory just because so many have theorized as such for so long.

That is true he did say that about Lauren...things change. I still like my whole CIA/Alias experiment island theory. ;)

[JimiThang1]

Could you explain on that? I'm only familiar with what purgatory is...

[penn darvis]

My lady friend asked this.....

???

I'm thinking mind. And that somehow plays into how Locke knew.

[JimiThang1]

Someone over at lost-media was able to read the korean subtitles on the screen of the tv hurley was on. it reads:

"Lucky Winner, Los Angles, CA"

[IlliniGal]

man, i could barely tell the subtitles were korean, much less make out what they could possibly be. you know, if i read korean. then again, my tv is 12 inches.

i love how they give little clues like that that only certain people would understand :)

[batleon]

I started laughing when I saw Hurley on the TV. Those writers are playing with our heads and loving every second of it. Thanks for the Korean subtitle translation, I was going to investigate the Lost boards about it.

I don't watch Alias, but it sounds to me like JJ changing his mind about whether or not a character is good or evil is acceptable. But when you are talking about the prevailing theme of the show, namely "what the hell is going on here?" then when JJ blatantly states "they're not in purgatory" I tend to believe it. I never bought that Purgatory theory anyway. They are on a real island and they are still alive. The rest is up in the air.

Next week is supposed to be the last episode before a six week break. Ugh. I think Hurley goes searching for the French woman's power supply so he can get his CD player working again :D

[Pipsqueak]

What's fascinating to me is that EVERYONE has been at an ULTIMATE low point in their life before arriving on the island...

Locke - had his dream shot down
Jack - ratted-out his dad, then lost him
Sawyer - killed the wrong guy
Jin - was a hitman for his father-in-law
Sun - was ready to run away from her husband
Kate - robbed a bank....mixed up in a bad crowd
Claire - boyfriend left her while pregnant
Boone - screwed his sister
Boone's sister - (her name escapes me) screwed and deceived her brother
Said - betrayed his country
Michael - lost his wife and son
Charlie - junkie, rel. with brother gone bad, no more band

I'm forgetting someone....

I think Walt could be God.....remember the bird? the polar bears?
He beats everyone at backgammon.
It seems like everything he imagines comes true.

But it comes down to the fact that they've all LOST something before coming to the island...

What does that mean?? I don't know! :haha

[snapmcd]

SIX WEEKS! Yikes.

[bmtoups]

I hadn't thought about that. But, they definately have all LOST something.

Someone several posts back said that they did not like all the backstorys. I personally like the backstorys. It think it gives you important imformation about who the people were before the they got to the island, which helps you understand their character better.

I think this show could easily go 3 to 4 years without finding out what is going on with the island and still keep me interested. There are so many more things that could happen: building shelter, developing relationships, more disasters, more discoveries, child birth, attempts to escape, etc. Also, I'm assuming we've only seen a small part of the island so far. They could spend weeks or months just traveling around the island.

[bigherosix]

Can someone tell me the name of the Damien Rice song that Hurley was listening to at the end?

[Pipsqueak]

Then here's my question: Why does it seem like everyone on the island has a checkered past? What are the odds of that happening? I'm not saying they are in Puragtory, but it makes too much sense.

Maybe JJ has decided to re-write some things and that's why there will be a six week hiatus? Just thinking out loud.

I was wondering that myself. There's always the claim that there is a master plan (also true on Alias), but sometimes I get the feeling that Abrams is totally winging it.

No there is only a six week hiatus because they have already burnt through most of their episodes. (Next week is episode 18 out of 24 for the season). And when you do that with out really only a few reruns in between you are going to get a period with just reruns.

18 shows already? :eek

true...
but we have met some people on the island that do not have a checkered past....

Walt (he was just party to Michael's marital troubles)
The black woman that sat on the beach and stared at the water for 2 episodes is another.
Hurley (guess we'll find out next week....but he's Mr. "Nice Guy" on the island)

And I don't think I would consider Jack's past as bad. He actually did the right thing by turning his Dad in.

hmm...
I'm still on the fence on the purgatory theory.

Yes, but its possible we haven't learned their checkered past yet. You never know when we're going to get more backstories.

Because if they all had a normal past it wouldn't be much of a show would it? :rolleyes And because of the way the season started, with weeks and weeks of new episodes, no repeats, we have to hit a dry spell before they build up to the finale.

I was wondering that myself. There's always the claim that there is a master plan (also true on Alias), but sometimes I get the feeling that Abrams is totally winging it.

Of course there's a master plan. But sometimes that plan has to change, actors come and go, budgets change, the network has certain demands, and sometimes stories just have to grow and change on their own.

I was thinking the same thing... everyone here (and I'm sure most viewers) have been complaining about the amount of backstory and how they're sick of it. Maybe Abrams moved some things around, because next week seems to be purely action on the island. Looks great from the previews :thumbsup

Wow, I never knew about that place. Their seeder/leecher numbers are incredible! They must get tons of traffic to their site.

[JimiThang1]

Yea supposedly 60% (maybe more) is overseas viewers because they get shows sometimes a year later than we do so they want the newest stuff now.

[johnbro23]

I was just thinkin about this today... I thought it was amazing how Abrams came up with the convo between the asian guy (forget his name) and his boss when he was trying to get his approval to win his daughter. He talks about his dreams to build a hotel, but when he gets offered a job by her dad, he accepts. Then the dad goes, "I don't want my daughter marrying someone who throws away his dreams so quickly." Then the asian guy goes, "she is my dream."

...just thought that was really clever. :rolleyes

I just can't believe the dog on the show is in IMDB...Do other famous film animals have IMDB entries?

[Mel4AU]

I just can't believe the dog on the show is in IMDB...Do other famous film animals have IMDB entries?

There are lots of animals listed on IMDB:

- Keiko, the orca Willy from Free Willy (with a headshot!).

- Max, the dog Milo from The Mask.

- Mason Rock Bay, the dog from Bad Boys 2.

- Hampton, the dog from Thirteen (credited as 'himself').

- TJ, the horse from Hidalgo.

And if you think that's weird, check these out:

- Wilson the Volleyball from Cast Away (the cast list has him on the bottom, which is a crime, considering he has almost as much scenes as Tom Hanks).

- Robby the Robot, a robot (he has quite a resume, and a birth date).

- Otto, the inflatable auto-pilot from Airplane!.

Next thing they'll add Bruce, the animatronic shark from Jaws, or the T-rex robot from Jurassic Park. I heard they had to pay her a fortune for her cameo appearance in JP3. And I also heard that the Queen from Aliens auditioned for a big feature movie, starring opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger.

''De Cock, with C-O-C-K''

i dont know who most of these are tho
