LOST (the tv show)

[spanishricehd]

anything i can do to help:)

I just saw the preview for next week's. Looks good!

[Panther41]

I am way too obsessed with this show... I shouldn't be having withdrawl symptoms after only six days...

[Franchize41]

I didnt see the preview for this week which is the first tiem I havent in a while and im more excited for it I think. Lost is on again up here at 7 so im gonna have to avoid this thread again :(

[DMB_Joy Ride]

I'm fuckin phsyced

[Bartender84]

It's Lostday! :bounce

[Franchize41]

another solid episode

[JenLuvsDMB]

Woo! I'm so excited!

[junior94]

What a fucking joke, we BARELY saw anything more than what they'd already showed in the previews last week. :rolleyes

In regards to the next previews we saw (which won't come back until May) I'm calling it right now that they shouldn't trust a single word that comes out of Michael's mouth (they're hardly armed, we can take them, etc) I mean for one thing, we he really have bothered to try and escape from their grasp without Walt in tow?

[tankdan]

So, it seems that Rose joins the club of people who know about Locke's wheelchair past... Other members: Walt.

Also, what's the deal with that net trap? If the person who made it put a doll as the trick, that makes me lean towards The Others. Why would Rousseau set a trap with a doll? The Others wouldn't be dumb enough to pick it up and she has nothing to gain by trapping the stranded folks.

Anyway, good episode.
Dan

[watchtower6991]

yeah this episode sucked , so we really have to wait till may for another new episode. does anyone know the exact date for a new show.

[DMB_Joy Ride]

That was a disappointment

[siouxsiesue]

Okay, well that was not one of the best ones. I did like the creepy scenes with "Henry" whatever his name really is, though. And I agree with Kevin, it's doubtful that Michael would even try to escape without Walt.

[Talula62]

Again with me liking the episode and everyone else not liking it. :lol Oh well.

The next new ep airs May 3rd.

[junior94]

Again with me liking the episode and everyone else not liking it.

pfffft....... FREAK :rolleyes

:p:lol

Well see, part of the problem for me at least is that I know I haven't been able to be objective much, about these last 2 episodes in particular. Because it's been two in a row now that I felt kinda pissed off, where they pulled the same routine, story structure-wise. My feeling is, they've been dragging out this Henry Gale subplot for awhile now, and I really need them to start kicking things into gear. And both last week and this week, they started it out with scenes heavily involving the real meaty mysteries of the island (the Others), then they completely abandoned that thread until like the last 2 minutes of the damn show. Last week it was them interrogating Henry about the dead body in the grave, and now this week it was Jack out trying to confront the Others about a trade. Ya know, they showed 2 minutes at the start of the show, and 2 minutes at the end of the show, essentially. So even with tonight specifically, I dunno, maybe I wasn't able to truly appreciate the Bernard/Rose story because I'd felt like I'd been promised the hope of something else, so that's what I had my mind ready for.

[Talula62]

Haven't you learned yet Kev that you're never going to get what they suggest you might get when they suggest you're going to get it? :lol I liked the Kate and Jack stuff. I liked all of the Locke stuff. How can you beat that fucking ridiculously creepy smile of Henry Gale's? Great acting tonight. Rose and Bernard too.

[MacGuyver]

i can't get over how freaking selfish rose is - let your husband build the damn sign for everybody else. just cause a boat comes and takes everyone off of the island, doesn't mean you have to go too. that pissed me off!

[Third Floor]

yeah, because when the boat comes to rescue people, you can tell your husband then that youre not gonna leave. thats a much better idea

[MacGuyver]

no, thats not what i meant. i have no telling problem her telling him the entire situ right now.

I have a HUGE problem with bernard abandoning his 'doing things' to help save the rest of the people on the island... I would have continued building the damn sign cause its teh best idea thats been out there... by a mile.

[Third Floor]

no, thats not what i meant. i have no telling problem her telling him the entire situ right now.

isnt that even more selfish? it seems that he was the only one there who was really interested in doing something (read making the sign). why should e continue to do something for which he no longer has the motivation or support to do?

[junior94]

oh :p :p !!!

It's just the beat of Gale getting inside Locke's head by now has been played and played...

[Talula62]

Truly evil people move slowly Kev. You must savor the evil.

[JimiThang1]

Truly evil people move slowly Kev. You must savor the evil.
He needs to become friends with Arvin Sloane me thinks...

I enjoyed the episode tonight, I liked their backstory. I thought it was very touching.

Mmmmmmm. 6 more days!!! :bounce

Me too!

[tankdan]

Mmmmmmm. 6 more days!!!

Me too!

6 more days until Alias' two-hour return? Cause it's 13 days until the next Lost episode, according to ABC.com.

Dan

[Bartender84]

I thought this ep was great too. We don't have to get big answers every week, you know.

[Panther41]

I've been taking a stance based on Stephen King's "From A Buick 8".

The point, the theme, is that the island is like life--we go on, day after day, most of us not looking to escape, and yet none of us really knows what's going on here, just that we're here, together. And that's it. You just keep on living, not knowing.

I do think we'll get answers on this television show, but if all you watch it for is the storyline, the answers, then you'll never enjoy it fully. This show, like every book and every piece of art ever created, is about being alive. That's why I believe every episode it important. Because it's not just the island mystery that's important--it's the advancement of the castaways, their relationships especially. Jack and Kate went on that excursion to challenge the Others, but in the grander scheme it was a trip that brought them closer together, healed the rift between them.

[Talula62]

6 more days until Alias' two-hour return? Cause it's 13 days until the next Lost episode, according to ABC.com.

Dan
Yep. His Arvin Sloane comment prompted me to say that.

I think what airs in 13 days is one of those recap episodes that they'll do before the back to back weeks through the finale. Is that right? Seems like I read that somewhere a while ago.

[junior94]

Yep. His Arvin Sloane comment prompted me to say that.


Hey ya know there's actually this whooooooole other thread on this board dedicated to JUST "Alias" stuff - how bout that!! :p :evil ;)

[Talula62]

Hey ya know there's actually this whooooooole other thread on this board dedicated to JUST "Alias" stuff - how bout that!! :p :evil ;)
Fine. I'll just go there then. See ya, punk. :twenty4

:D

[DMBand520]

I know I'm going to be really mad when the season ends. Obviously it's going to end leaving open all kinds of questions with some major cliffhanger (ie. opening the hatch finally and then ending the season). Luckily when people started talking to me about Lost last year it was halfway through the season. So I just waited til it came out on DVD and basically watched season 1 in a week or 2 and then season 2 started immediately. I'm not used to waiting months for a new episode :(

[baloneybandit21]

o man i just watched last weeks episode yesterday, SO WORTHLESS, i could really care less about rose and howard

[spanishricehd]

I wasn't too fond of that episode myself. :(

[greppson]

o man i just watched last weeks episode yesterday, SO WORTHLESS, i could really care less about rose and howard
who the hell is howard?

you may not have liked it, but in the grand scheme, it could be very important.

i thought it was a great episode.

[JimiThang1]

who the hell is howard?

you may not have liked it, but in the grand scheme, it could be very important.

i thought it was a great episode.
Exactly, I thought it was a great episode as well and it probably will have further implications down the road because of it. Just like the Charlie episode that everyone hated earlier on. It was necessary to the storyline a few episodes later in Mr. Ecko's episode and Sawyers.

[MacGuyver]

just to let everyone know, and I don't think this is much of a spoiler... the finale is going to be desmond centric. YES!

[Panther41]

Rose and *Bernard*. ;)

And I re-state my earlier position: if you think any episode is "irrelevant", you're in for a surprise down the line.

[MacGuyver]

what do you mean "Bernard"????

[Panther41]

what do you mean "Bernard"????

My sarcasm detector is a little rusty... do you really not know that Bernard is Rose's husband's name?

[flyer3468]

So, when do we get a new episode?

[MacGuyver]

i do but what's with the

rose and "bernard" ;)

??? that's what confused me

[MacGuyver]

So, when do we get a new episode?
not this week. :(

[SteelerMan]

just to let everyone know, and I don't think this is much of a spoiler... the finale is going to be desmond centric. YES!

How do you know? And I would consider that somewhat of a spoiler since they haven't mentioned him in several episodes... not that I really care that much.

[JimiThang1]

So, when do we get a new episode?
May 3

Alias 2 hour episode this week, another new Lost recap episode next week.

[Talula62]

How do you know? And I would consider that somewhat of a spoiler since they haven't mentioned him in several episodes... not that I really care that much.
Nope, he's right. It's Desmond centric. Both hours of the finale.

[junior94]

Nope, he's right. It's Desmond centric. Both hours of the finale.

Wow. And what was last year's 2 hr finale -- 'everyone' centric, right? Flashbacks of everyone in the airport/before boarding/as they were boarding, right?

I wonder what the very last shot will be concerning this time around. Something again hatch-related, having to do with the Others or maybe still something else entirely about the island.

[emjohn]

I wonder what the very last shot will be concerning this time around. Something again hatch-related, having to do with the Others or maybe still something else entirely about the island.
I strongly suspect that the season finale will end with the re-appearance of Walt.

Evan

[flyer3468]

OH MY GOD!

Did anyone see that! I can't believe it!

that episode answered everything

[siouxsiesue]

Well, it wasn't even on tonight, Sean ;)

[junior94]

OH MY GOD!

Did anyone see that! I can't believe it!

that episode answered everything

Haha, nice :D

oh and speaking of last shots, literally the very last shot of s1 was the camera pulling down the ladder of the hatch, right? and NOT of the raft blowing up?

[JimiThang1]

Haha, nice :D

oh and speaking of last shots, literally the very last shot of s1 was the camera pulling down the ladder of the hatch, right? and NOT of the raft blowing up?
Correct...it was pulling down the ladder to darkness and then BOOM...LOST

[Talula62]

That was a very good shot.

I've suspected since about the third episode that the last shot of the season would be the clock reaching 0 without the button being pressed, and we'd have to wait the entire break to see the consequences. And if Henry is lying about not pushing the button, that's still a possibility.

[@drian]

The clock has already reached zero, a couple of times.

[Bartender84]

The clock has already reached zero, a couple of times.
But the button has always been pushed in time to stop whatever is supposed to happen.

[junior94]

But the button has always been pushed in time to stop whatever is supposed to happen.

For the record, if that's what they pull I'll be very pissed. Because essentially, it's still what they've done now twice already. Yes, the button eventually got pushed (well, assuming Henry did and is lying to Locke) but ultimately that would still be the same effect - clock goes to zero, and the 'penny drop' of what's next?? No way, they better have something way better than that.

[Dr. Strangelove]

I haven't backread much, so sorry if this was posted, but here's some very interesting info about the finale:

It's basically a Desmond flash-back!

I've got more info about the finale that's much more spoilerish, so I'll put it seperate.

[Dr. Strangelove]

OK, so apparently you can only have one tag per post, so I had to create another. Here's the much more spoilerish stuff:

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

[spoiler]In a flashback that is set in 2000 in L.A., Libby buys Desmond coffee and offers him her boat. Charlie and Eko enter the hatch to get dynamite. Rose and Locke have a chat. Later in the episode, we see Desmond lying on the beach shore, waking up, being carried to the hatch, and Desmond and Kelvin walking through the jungle. While in prison (not sure if it's on island or flashback), Widmore tells Desmond off. There will be one scene of Desmond in the stadium. Dr. Candle will appear.

I almost wish I didn't know any of this now, but it was too damn tempting not to try to find out! I must say, I'm excited!

;)

[snapmcd]

May 3

Alias 2 hour episode this week, another new Lost recap episode next week.

I'm getting so sick of this ABC tactic. They do the same thing on Grey's Anatomy. I don't watch Desparate Housewives, but I'm pretty sure they do those, too.

To quote The Simpsons (who does do a clip show once a year), "Not a significant source of new entertainment".:mad

[junior94]

Correct...it was pulling down the ladder to darkness and then BOOM...LOST

Ok Derek, pleeeeeeeeeeeease tell me you heard the 'Saved By The Bell' segment on Preston & Steven this morning :lol :lol :lol (including the revelation that they have Mr. Belding's personal cell #, and now are just figuring out when to try and call it)

And in other semi-LOST related news for those interested, the deal is set that JJ Abrahms will now help re-jumpstart another storied film franchise (after likely doing so with this summer's new Mission Impossible movie, that is, which is apparently thru-the-roof awesome), he will write/produce/direct the next STAR TREK film, this one a prequel that looks at Kirk's and Spock's first days at the Starfleet Academy.

edit: ok well I just noticed, that particular page doesn't mention Abrahms being involved in the writing, but I'm pretty sure it did say that on the Yahoo page I saw on the story earlier.

[junior94]

I haven't backread much, so sorry if this was posted, but here's some very interesting info about the finale:



Yeah Strangelove, the involvement of Desmond was already mentioned about a page or two ago. But I'm trying to be good and avoid that 2nd spoiler you put in :p

Yea they have done 2 now for Housewives as well. Guess it's a good way to get more viewers. They would have to spend like 3 hours on an Alias recap to get everything in! :lol

[junior94]

errrr-- duh :freak Sorry Derek, I just realized yea, you don't live around Philly, you're in NC. But, had I heard you talking about hearing Preston & Steve-related stuff in the past, or no... ? (perhaps that was only Ryan -- who I know is from around here -- but for some reason I was thinking it was you also) Do you just maybe listen to some podcasted stuff from their website? (which, even in you don't at all, I highly recommend going there now because they've put up a bunch of the Saved By The Bell sorta stuff they were discussing this morning :lol

www.prestonandsteve.com

(and they also have the great extended roundtable discussions on LOST after every new episode on Thurs mornings)

[JimiThang1]

Ok Derek, pleeeeeeeeeeeease tell me you heard the 'Saved By The Bell' segment on Preston & Steven this morning :lol :lol :lol (including the revelation that they have Mr. Belding's personal cell #, and now are just figuring out when to try and call it)


No we don't have Preston and Steve here.

[tankdan]

So you're telling me that they actually air an episode every once in a while that is strictly clips from previous episodes????

I've read about these 'recap' episodes, but I always figured it was another word for 'rerun,' so never watched.

In that case, I have a little more respect for the writers/producers. They KNOW that they are breaking up the continuity by having small clusters of episodes, so they make the effort to help jog everyone's memory just before airing new episodes. GREAT idea.

Though I would still like it to be non-stop, a la 24.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/21/leisure.startrek.reut/index.html

Here's an article from cnn.com that confirms JJ Abrams as part of the Star Trek movie revival.

Dan

[Dr. Strangelove]

Well, I read some good news the other day (cannot remember where). One of the network execs said that they are "looking at" airing next season in sequence with no repeats during the run since so many fans complain about it (in other words episodes 1-22 in consecutive weeks). So this would probably take care of the clip episodes as well. The only thing he said that could be bad, though, is that if they do this then the season may start in a different month (something like January).

[Talula62]

Starting in January isn't bad. Trust me, you can live without your favorite show for June-December. You just have to learn how! :lol Continuous episodes would be the best payoff!!

[tankdan]

I support the network executive's idea. Learn from '24.' PLUS, you gotta figure they would throw in a handful of two-episode-nights, so it would, in fact, be fewer than 22 weeks. Heck, '24' had four episodes in the first week

I didn't start watching "Lost" in real-time until halfway through this season, after I spent a weekend watching the entire first season and then going to the i-Tunes music store and purchasing the first 14 eps of the second season because it was SOOOO freaking good. I think consecutive eps/weeks would be great.

Alright good deal :thumbsup Yea like I'd reported in here a couple weeks ago, Lindelof & Co. themselves were trying to sell ABC on the idea of telling the season in 3 self contained "acts" that would have no repeats inbetween and starting in October, but the starting in January and just firing straight thru one after another is the superior plan all around. Great googly moogly! :hump


and then going to the i-Tunes music store and purchasing the first 14 eps of the second season

Dude, ain't you ever heard of bit torrent?? :ugh

:p :lol j/k

[tankdan]

Yeh I know, silly me spending money, but I wanted to start watching right away and I had borrowed season one on dvd, so i figured spending $28 (14 x 1.99) on this tv show was acceptable, since i wouldn't have to spend it again.

Alas, I'll probably buy the dvds anyway...

Dan

DARNIT, I missed my "100" milestone... This post was 101 and I didn't even think about it until I saw it.

[JimiThang1]

So Maggie Grace and Ian Somerhalder are dating in real life now...

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/20042006/364/lost-siblings-start-dating.html

Actors Maggie Grace and Ian Somerhalder, who play spoiled step-siblings Boone and Shannon on hit TV series Lost, are dating offscreen.

The celebrity couple are regularly spotted out together in Los Angeles, but have tried to keep their budding relationship under wraps.

A source confirmed the romance to American publication US Weekly adding, "They stay out of the limelight, but they spend a lot of time hanging out and working out together at Gold's Gym (in Venice Beach, California).

"They kiss and hold hands when they come and go from the gym. You can tell they're a couple."

The pair were romantically involved in a flashback sequence on Lost before they were both killed off.

[Talula62]

:lol Ew, I'm totally grossed out again! :lol

[JimiThang1]

:lol Ew, I'm totally grossed out again! :lol
You know they are doing it like :monkey :monkey

If I were him I would be too! :hump

[Talula62]

And if I were her I'd be just as :hump They're a pretty cute couple though honestly.

[smeritt]

There wasnt an episode last week was there?

[tankdan]

Nope, no episode at all last week (two-hour Alias), and then I believe this week is a "recap" episode.

Dan

[Fisherman]

This week we finally get another new episode, but I hope it isn't another recap episode

[JimiThang1]

I've enjoyed the Ana Lucia as of late. In small doses, she's alright. I may be biting my tongue on May 3rd though. I think it's her flashbacks again.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yup, sure is. I did hear a few things from various sources, though, which may or may not pertain to her:

First I read one, and then later read TWO people will die by season's end!

[Dave G]

Looks like Michelle Rodriguez is going away for a while. I don't know how she is in real life, but she sure comes off as pretty much the same type of person she plays on the show

Michelle Rodriguez (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/breaking_news/14428249.htm)

[tdowe99]

I'm not sure if I'd call five days a while. At most she'd miss one episode, and if her part was important, they'd just do some last minute shooting to fit her in.

[JimiThang1]

They are probably done shooting the finale...

[flyer3468]

Ya know she may be a total bitch, but her stomach is so fucking tight :hump

[tankdan]

hahaha:

"I'm human," Rodriguez said. (It's just that sometimes I get drunk twice-past-the-legal-limit and then decide to get in a car and drive.)

When asked by a reporter if she would drink and drive again, Rodriguez replied: "That's kind of a dumb question. C'mon now." (Well, no, it doesn't seem like it's a dumb question, really...)

I'm glad noone was hurt, especially with both Rodriguez and Libby driving cars.

Dan

p.s. In all honesty, every one of us makes mistakes... I understand her "I'm human" statement. Live and learn.

[luke7]

Sounds like tonights episode is a clip show review type episode. Anyone know ?

[tdowe99]

That is correct. Clip-show.

[Dr. Strangelove]

A Lost web-based game created by the writers is coming next week. Looks interesting...

[tankdan]

http://www.hollywood.com/news/detail/id/3495574

"Lost star Michelle Rodriguez has blamed her drunk driving and subsequent bad behavior on her use of steroids..."

Ohhhhh, well in THAT case... we forgive you. Geez, this just keeps getting better.

"The actress claims she's "lost everything" because of her drunken-driving arrest and had to sell her house and car to help pay for legal costs.

When asked why she chose jail time over 240 hours of community service, she said, "I kind of have to go back to my life, go back to making some money. This sort of gave me a hard hit."

Cry me a river.

Wow, these off-weeks really make me look for alternative sources of entertainment.

[MacGuyver]

I just finished reading the ABC plot sumary capsule for the finale of season one:

Plot details of the finale:

After discovering something odd just offshore, Jack and Sayid come up with a plan to confront "The Others" and hopefully get Walt back. Meanwhile, Eko and Locke come to blows as Locke makes a potentially cataclysmic decision regarding the "button" and the hatch.

Oh my!

haha ;) Well, true I am still pretty much through with 95% of this place, but it occurred to me really that if occassionally I get a hold of something and/or just have a thought I wanna share, there's no reason I shouldn't at least come to play a bit in an area in which I've never had any trouble at all. Everybody here for the most part in "Lost" are pretty much good peeps :thumbsup

I just don't spend the time anymore of casually looking over threads and whatnot in nDMB with nothing particular that I'm on the lookout for, the everyday browsing, if you will.

About the May 10 episode:

The May 10th episode is entitled Question Mark and has to do completely with the black-light-map. I just watched "Extra's" special on the show.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yup. Here's the lineup for the rest of the season for those that don't know:

May 3: Two for the Road (Ana-Lucia-centric)
May 10: ? (Eko-centric)
May 17: Three Minutes (Michael-centric)

The podcast confirms that the guy that looks like Henry Gale in the season 1 episode "Numbers" is in fact NOT Henry Gale.

Oh my. Sure has. Oh god...now I'll be there for hours.

I bet this has something to do with the interactive game that is starting this week.

EDIT: Oh boy...anyone try to sign up for the newsletter? :eek

HECK YEH!!!

It's only last week's episode, but still really neat. Heck, now I can just watch it at my own leisure with limited commercials the next day.

Too bad you can't go full screen.

Dan

[Dr. Strangelove]

Wow. Messed around with the site for a while. Here are some things I found (some with the help of other forums...there was a phone number I couldn't find to call and it turns out it wasn't released in the US yet and will most likely be done during the show tomorrow. But it was released in the UK).

Sign up for the newsletter. Put in any name. Following that answer "yes". Following that put "breaking strain".

Send Joop a message!!! Try, "I am xxxxx" (put your name or whatever where the xxxxx's are).

There are also strange places on the site where there's missing text (or it's sort of whited out). Not sure about this yet.


Post what you find guys! This is pretty freaking neat. I hope they keep it updated. This will hopefully keep us busy during the off-season!

great episode tonight, so glad Canada gets to see it at 7pm, I couldnt wait 2 hours...

[junior94]

aww sonofabitch! The best thing Henry Gale's done since he's been here, and Locke knocks him out before he gets to finish!! :BANG :p

[flyer3468]

Dum da da dum da da dum dum dum

It amazes me how many times in this show, I catch myself humming this tune.

[luke7]

wonder if Sawyer knows she's a lesbian

[flyer3468]

Anyone catch the Hanso commercial?

[tdowe99]

What. The. Fuck.

[flyer3468]

And dum dum da dum da da dum dum dum again...

[luke7]

Wow !! Wasn't Expecting That !

[clayj41]

WOW!!!:eek

[JimiThang1]

holy shit

[watchtower6991]

holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[luke7]

Now we know what happens if you get arrested while being a cast member of Lost.

[junior94]

WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek :eek :eek

Ok I just wanna say for the record that as soon as Michael came out of the jungle last episode, I called it that he couldn't be trusted, he was now acting as a plant for the Others. I'd say this goes a long way to say that's the truth.


and did anyone else squeal with the glee of a 5 year old when he killed AnaL? :D

[luke7]

There was ar umor that Michelle Rodriguez would be written out of the show because she was difficult to work with.

ugh, figures. the best episode of the show in like 3 months and Ants is so slow it's taking like a half hour to load a friggin page

[dmbman32]

Wow wow wow.

Welcome back, "L O S T."

Granted, it makes sense they knocked off the 2 drunk drivers, but still, for it to go down like it did was COMPLETELY unexpected.

This will make for a very interesting season finale. It seems that the season will towards a big discovery/understanding with The Others, or why they're on the island in the first place.

But, wow. Only "24" and "The Sopranos" are the only other shows on television that can shock you like that nowadays........

[aeroshady]

That was insane!! I did not see that coming at all. I was like HOLY SHIT!

[watchtower6991]

so the way i got it figured is that michael was caught by the others and they are pretty much forcing him to do what hes doing or else they would kill walt. or they promised him they would let him and walt go if he sabatoges the rest of the island.

[Rockyall107]

i dont think libby is dead...hurley seemed too calm...

[kimberdmb41]

did anyone else get the password to get into the hanso site?

[blueflame529]

that was awesome! total mindfuck though, i didn't see any of that coming! i love this show. so did michael kill "henry" or not? it showed michael in a sling for next week's episode, but it didn't show henry. jack must've gotten there before he could get to it.

[Talula62]

Wow. I was snoozing most of the middle of the episode but that was an awesome delivery.

[Rockyall107]

holy shit i just relized the hanso commercial!!

[Rockyall107]

michael let henry go...

[kimberdmb41]

holy shit i just relized the hanso commercial!!yea, the hanso site is warping my mind...makes things even MORE confusing!:eek

[Dr. Strangelove]

Wow, great episode! I had a hunch since the last episode Michael was going to be helping the Others to get Walt back. I just didn't think it would be so...brutal.

My scoop posted a few pages back about two cast members dying was right apparently (assuming Libby dies...which I'm sure she will. Maybe not right away but two gut shots...yeah...nice slow death). I just didn't expect it to go down like that! The actress that plays Libby did just get cast in a new pilot for next year, so maybe they sort of added her death in. It was rather abrupt.

"Especially for...sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me." :D

So it's looking like Jack has a half-sister. I'm pretty sure the woman Jack's dad went to visit was Claire's mother. Hell, I thought it was Claire in the first shot. And he was demanding to see his daughter...

did anyone else get the password to get into the hanso site?

Go back a page and check my spoilers. I posted it last night. ;)

[smeritt]

I was thinking the same thing about Jack's sister.It's obviously going to be someone on the island, only a matter of who. P.S. I called the Michael being a traitor as well but that was very unexepected to kill two bitches. I'm thinking Henry is let go and "shot" michael will be the alliby(Sp?). Good episode to return to

[tankdan]

Hey, so does anyone use spoiler tags for previews of coming episodes? Because I think you should. If I didn't watch the preview, I shouldn't read about it here.

Otherwise, I also think it's convenient that Libby and Ana Lucia both are in danger of being written out of the show directly after both were arrested for drunk driving. Serves them right.

Hurley is definitely my favorite character. I wish he would embark on a true diet, via Libby.

Ana Lucia got laaaaaaid. That was a nice surprise.

So what's the deal with Jack's sister? Is it now possible that she is on the island? Is it possible that Jack doesn't know about the sister?

Now, assuming that Ana Lucia is really dead, Jack will never be able to find out her connection to his dad.

Oh, and Sawyer's run-in with Jack's dad was probably the cheapest crossing-path they've ever done.

Dan

[flyer3468]

He'll just play along that AnaL tried to kill him, but he fought back and shot them all, and assumed Michael was dead. Not too complicated to fake that.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Hey, so does anyone use spoiler tags for previews of coming episodes? Because I think you should. If I didn't watch the preview, I shouldn't read about it here.I think the general policy is if it's been aired, then it's fair game here. At least that's how most sites are. I'll tag anything about previews though, as I'm usually cautious of this.

So what's the deal with Jack's sister? Is it now possible that she is on the island? Is it possible that Jack doesn't know about the sister?Well, if I'm right and it's Claire's mother he was talking to and his sister is Claire...yeah she's on the island...:D

Oh, and Sawyer's run-in with Jack's dad was probably the cheapest crossing-path they've ever done.That was actually just verifying Sawyer's story that he told Jack. Know the one I mean? Sawyer at one point told Jack he met a guy in a bar (and after talking with Jack assumed it was his father). Now we never really knew if Sawyer just made this up or if he was telling the truth. Now we know that at least he really was at the bar when Jack's father was there.

[kimberdmb41]

Go back a page and check my spoilers. I posted it last night. ;):lol I was in last night biefly, but I avoided the spoiler button, YOU BASTARD!!:lol Wacky shit man...

[Dr. Strangelove]

:lol I was in last night biefly, but I avoided the spoiler button, YOU BASTARD!!:lol Wacky shit man...

How about if Joop the orangutan is the extremely intelligent one that Henry Gale is always referring too?! :lol

Seriously....

Actually Joop is sort of a joke among the creators. They said a while back that if the show ever suddenly got canceled, they'd have a talking orangutan come out in a suit in the last episode and just explain everything. :lol

Thank you for your indepth response! Good point about the "it's already aired" aspect of the previews, but still... cmon... You are a good seed, though. Keep up the spoiler tags.

So have we ever seen Claire's mother before? I don't recall. If, indeed, it was Claire's mother that Jack's dad was yelling at, THAT would make things very interesting, as far as the interaction web goes.

Wasn't it Sawyer that was sitting with Jack's dad at the bar in a previous flashback? So doesn't that already prove that Sawyer saw Jack's dad there? I think Sawyer's run-in tonight was just to show that it was THAT bar where they met in that previous flashback.

I feel that tonight's was the best episode of the season!

Dan

And no, I don't believe we've ever seen Claire's mother. That woman looked SO much like Claire though...so either they did that to mess with us or to hint it was her mother. Maybe we'll find out by season 6 or something. :lol

So, who wants to call

And tell us what they find

[Dr. Strangelove]

Oh man. Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream) was supposed to direct the next episode, but his wife is/was/something pregnant (Rachel Weisz). That would have rocked. They wanted him to do it since the title is "?" and he directed Pi, which was also a symbol for a title. :lol

Now for some more spoilers. I've been digging. I'm in a Lost frenzy right about now :lol :

The Michael/Walt story WILL be resolved by the end of the season.

Walt's growth (he grew a ton) will be explained next season.

Charlie/Claire story advancements in finale.

The idea of forming an army is definitely returning in the finale.

New characters are coming in season 3. Fewer flashbacks of originals, as the new people will get some. There is also question as to where the new characters come from. They may not be other crash survivors.

Well, she IS insane...

Plus I'm pretty sure she had some ulterior motives...

[tankdan]

So, without revealing to me what may or may not have been shown in the preview for next week, are we to assume that Michael shot himself in the shoulder so that it looks like Henry did it, or was that just a weak attempt to kill himself?

If it involves saying something about next week, then don't tell me. I only want speculation.

Dan

[Dr. Strangelove]

Here's an interview with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse about tonight's episode. It's mainly dealing with MRod's death. Apparently she said before they even hired her that she only wanted to do one season and they didn't do it because of the DUI. It was planned well before that. It seems like they actually considered keeping her on after the DUI and changing the story so it wouldn't seem like they did it because of her personal life.

It's a short quick read and I didn't notice any real spoilers: http://community.tvguide.com/forum.jspa?forumID=700000049

I actually can't stand her. She's got some freaky eyes man! I was a much bigger Ana fan than Libby. Again, I find MRod strangely attractive.

You're killing me! He does sort of have an ogre thing going on. He looks like a Lord of the Rings character or something.





Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)

[tankdan]

Wow, Hurley is my favorite character. I just feel so bad for people who are grossly overweight in general, and he's pretty likeable anyway... Just think of how motivating he could be to obesce fans everywhere if he went on a massive real-life/Lost-life diet!

I like him. He and Libby didn't really work for me, though.

Dan

Why do you feel bad for him? Because he's a fat bastard who made himself that way?

[junior94]

Hey, so does anyone use spoiler tags for previews of coming episodes? Because I think you should. If I didn't watch the preview, I shouldn't read about it here.

No offense Dan, but we don't play by insanely uber-anal "24" rules here. We've always said that nobody in their right mind could expect things that are broadcast in the "next weeks previews" should be considered spoilers. If you still wanna do it, go right ahead, but I'm telling ya right now on general principle I'm not gonna be spoiler-tagging anything that was shown in the previews :p

Ana Lucia got laaaaaaid. That was a nice surprise.

If you think about it, going by horror movie rules, we should've known right then that AnaL would be a goner. Have sex = DIE. :lol
Although there's another point regarding that scene that bothered me. Sawyer was surprised when he realized later on the beach that AnaL had lifted his gun from him post-coitus. Hello?? Um, they'd just had sex, and as we saw they were both in the process of getting redressed after said sex. You're telling me Saywer DOESN'T notice that he's suddenly got no gun to stick back in the rear waist of his jeans?? C'mon with the plot holes, writers...

Oh and lastly regarding what someone said about Lindelof and Cuse publicly saying about the exiting of Libby & AnaL -- of course they're not gonna admit on record that the reason they were killed off was because of their personal behavior. Mind you I'm not saying they're necessarily lying about the "we already had this planned way before" bit, but yea there's no way they'd admit that.

[tankdan]

Yep, because he brought it on himself, and I wish I knew him so that I could help him motivate himself to change his lifestyle. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of prodding from friends.

Okay, I concede the logic about spoiler tagging previews... Spoil away and I won't object any more.

Dan

[SteelerMan]

No spoilers please... but can we assume that Libby is dead? Whether she is or isn't, I see some potential problems...

1) If she IS dead, it sort of makes the whole backstory between her and Hurley in the institution sort of irrelevant. I suppose we could find out through a backstory how she ended up on the island and if she was following Hurley, but Hurley will never know about it (unless someone else on the island was in the institution maybe?) and nothing will ever become of it.

2) If she is NOT dead, then couldn't she just tell everyone that Michael was the one who shot them?

Plus, scenes from next week showed Hurley telling Michael he's glad he's alright... I would think if the one woman on the island who found Hurley attractive was dead, he'd be a little more shaken up about it. My guess is she'll be in a coma.

[junior94]

Yea, the more and more I think about it, I don't think Libby will have died. Because it was only 2 episodes ago where they pulled the big reveal that not only was she in Hurley's episode, but as a Crazy McNutso herself. And obviously they very purposefully did that in a dramatic way - they're bothering with that to kill her right away?

Plus, what the hell was she holding in front of her stomach when she walked in? I can't imagine that such a detail would just be arbitrary. When she very first popped up I thought they were pillows or something, but to go along with the concept that she isn't dead, where there ever any bulletproof vests that we saw in hatch? I feel like I've got a vague memory of seeing them (or at least hearing about them) before. And yes, even if they were it's reasonable that she still would've felt the impact and fell down, since even with wearing one of those vests and especially being hit at that close range, it'll still hurt and knock you back a bit.

And the point I brought up about it's ridiculous to suggest Sawyer not noticing his gun was missing right away is bothering me more, when you think about how integral such a detail played into what happened at the very end there. And I've already seen multiple people had noticed that quite clearly, so I wonder if they'll come up with an explanation for it.

Thats why I try not to watch the previews they show to much sometimes, like why not just NOT show Michael in the preview, let us assume he is dead until the next episode , I was totally shocked with tonight episode, how it played out , i mean i kinda figured michael would be brainwashed somehow and that ana would eventually get killed off but Wow! Great Episode

wasnt she holding blankets, she said she was going to get some blankets for the picnic with Hurley
Yes and i agree how could sawyer not notice he didnt put the gun back, uh, Duh!

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yeah, they were just blankets for the picnic. And wasn't there a massive pool of blood on the floor when she was lying there?

I'm going with coma followed by death. If she doesn't die I'll be very upset. You don't get shot twice in the gut then get some pretty sub-par medical treatment and live very long.

And yeah, the Sawyer gun thing was very odd. How could he not know...?

[wolfdisney]

the sex musta been that good that he totally forgot about the gun, when he got dressed and didnt even think about the gun, only thing i could think of
ana is a good lay :)

If she's in a coma, then Sawyer can still get a piece before she dies. :thumbsup

If I recall correctly, wasn't there a whole scene that we saw (probably in Season 1) that had Sawyer and Jack's dad drinking together. It's not just a made up story, we actually saw it.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yeah someone else already posted that. I done forgot about it. :eek

[tdowe99]

No big deal.

As for people dying, I'd be more inclined to think that AnaL isn't dead, with only one bullet in the gut, compared to Libby's two. They're both probably dead, which I think is a waste of character development.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Ana looked like she got hit closer to the heart.

Yeah, I'll miss Ana. Libby I couldn't stand from the start. Much the way most people feel about Ana. :lol

I do think Libby will be back at least in the finale, even if she is dead (flashback). Seems I heard In L.A., Libby buys Desmond coffee and offers him her boat.

[junior94]

Well, and not just that we got the reveal 2 shows ago that she was a patient, but earlier in the episode Hurley liked the idea of wine on the beach, because "maybe then I'll remember where I know you from" he said happily, and quite obviously that unsettled her. She does NOT want him to remember. Be it that she really was a sick patient or an undercover mole plant by Dharma, either way she was concerned about him finally realizing he'd seen her in the hospital before. So c'mon, to have a moment like that a mere 15 minutes before you kill her?? Something's up...

Also regarding Sawyer and that bar scene from s1 with Jack's dad, I saw a person somewhere eslse mention this last night -- didn't it very much appear lke Sawyer was walking AWAY from the bar's direction? I can't really remember. Anyone confirm?

Yeah I thought the same thing, but remember, she could just appear in a Hurley flashback. She doesn't actually have to be alive. Shannon had a flashback with Boone after he died.

I'm not sure about the Sawyer thing. From what I remember, it seemed like he could have been headed to the door. Jack's dad was in the left seat of the car and Sawyer approached from the front of the car. This would put him between the car and the bar. And I think the car was pulled a little ahead of the bar's door, so he could have just continued walking and gone right in. This is all very hazy, though, and could be wrong.

[dmb41er]

Shannon gets laid by Sayid... death.

Ana gets laid by Sawyer... death.

Sun gets laid by Jin... new life.

sex without marriage?... who knows

Another thought... Wasn't Claire's mother in an episode of her flashbacks... the one where DMB's 'Stay' was playing in the background?
Could be wrong here because I don't remember but I know there were new female characters in her flashback of "should i stay or should i go".

[Talula62]

When Stay was on Lost it was in Shannon's flashback with Shannon's mom, not Claire's. Wow, go me, I actually remember something! :lol I'd completely forgotten about Sawyer meeting Jack's dad in a bar too.

Well, and not just that we got the reveal 2 shows ago that she was a patient, but earlier in the episode Hurley liked the idea of wine on the beach, because "maybe then I'll remember where I know you from" he said happily, and quite obviously that unsettled her. She does NOT want him to remember. Be it that she really was a sick patient or an undercover mole plant by Dharma, either way she was concerned about him finally realizing he'd seen her in the hospital before. So c'mon, to have a moment like that a mere 15 minutes before you kill her?? Something's up...

Also regarding Sawyer and that bar scene from s1 with Jack's dad, I saw a person somewhere eslse mention this last night -- didn't it very much appear lke Sawyer was walking AWAY from the bar's direction? I can't really remember. Anyone confirm?

I concur. coma for libby 100%.

[junior94]

I'm not sure about the Sawyer thing. From what I remember, it seemed like he could have been headed to the door. Jack's dad was in the left seat of the car and Sawyer approached from the front of the car. This would put him between the car and the bar. And I think the car was pulled a little ahead of the bar's door, so he could have just continued walking and gone right in. This is all very hazy, though, and could be wrong.

I've since DL'd the episode to be able to review a few things, including this point. Having now seen it again, and considering the geography of all the elements involved, there's no question that Sawyer was indeed WALKING AWAY from the direction of the bar's door. Now, having worked on a TV show myself and given how long the gap between the 2 things (the actual scene of them meeting in the bar during s1 and the subtle reminder of it here in s2) and of how little a detail it ultimately is in the show's mythology, I'm inclined to believe that this was nothing more than the Script Supervisor dropping the ball and making a continuity error (it's not like we haven't seen them in small doses before on equally minor details of the show's background). I really can't imagine they'd be trying to make some larger unknown statement by purposefully showing that Sawyer was heading away from the bar instead of towards it.

It could be one of those things too where they mirror the film in that scene in editing because it looks better.

[OCMarsh]

So I have been neglecting this thread for awhile. In regards to the last episode........:ugh WTF?????

[SatelliteEyes]

The sad thing is, this show would actually be interesting if they played new episodes more than once a month.

I was really into Lost in the fall, but now I can't seem to find a new episode, and even when they do put on one I dont get excited because I know it'll be a month before I see another new one, or I know that the next 2 episodes will be as long as Soap Operas and nothing will happen in them

I do like the show, and Wednesday's was very good.

[JimiThang1]

Just wait for the DVDs if you can't commit to keeping track of when it's on. It flows better. Oct. 3 is when the current season is released. Also rumor has it that they are looking more and more into doing the next season with no gaps in between. We'll find out in a few weeks when upfronts are announced.

[baloneybandit21]

crazy ass episode kinda dumb i didnt really like the ending cuz it seemed unnecessary just for a shock, though i think that they did need something to jolt the show back into the limelight

For the people who complain about the breaks....


Season ONE dates: September 22, 2004 - May 25, 2005 (25 total hours of show)
Season TWO dates: September 21, 2005 - May 24, 2006 (24 total hours of show)

It's the SAME DAMN SCHEDULE as last season! Everybody says how bad it's gotten. No it hasn't! It's the same! We had one more hour the first season, and there was a Pilot episode, so that's the reason. That's it! It's just seems like forever now because everybody is more into the show and wants their answers NOW.

[tankdan]

My dates for season one: Saturday-Sunday, February 25th-26th, 2006.
My dates for season two, eps 1-7: Sunday, February 26th, 2006.
My dates for season two, eps 8-14: Thursday, March 2nd, 2006.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is what makes me addicted to the show. I was able to remember little parts from previous episodes and get a clear idea about the big picture.

With the current airing format, the effect simply isn't the same. I would sit out a season and wait for dvd, but there's no way to get around tabloid talk, especially concerning any new characters.

See ya.

I disagree. If I'm remebering correctly in Season 1 they showed a bunch of episodes, took a two or three month break then showed a bunch more episodes. It made it feel like two seasons in one year. The way they do Season 2 is driving me crazy and making me not like the show.

The reason this season is chunked up is because of the Olympics and ABC didn't want to compete in February. Usually Feb. is sweeps month for all networks but since the Olympics occurred this year the other networks took most of the month off and in turn threw them out of whack.

All I'm saying is we got the same amout of show (well, minus one hour) in the same period of time.

Let's just hope they really do run them all back to back next season.

[luke7]

With season do you guys think is better 1 or 2 ? I hate the way season 2 threw in not one but 2 clip shows.

Sidenote: I didn't know that Michelle Rodriguez was gay or bi. I googled her and there's pictures of her kissing a girl in a NY club on gay night. There's a picture of her and singer Blu Cantrell holding hands from like 2002 or so etc.

Yeah, that's the word. Read it a little while ago somewhere.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Apparently at the end of the credits in MI:3 (JJ Abrams directed) there's a Special Thanks section and The Hanso Foundation is the last thing listed. :lol

Nice Easter Egg.

[|UAY| |)(V)|3]

I was just poking around hanso and the following letter has a phone number at the bottom.

The area code is of Merced, CA. Middle of the valley by Stockton (my mom grew up in Merced).

[SatelliteEyes]

Season 2 has gaps in between shows, plus they tell us a lot less each episode. Season 1 had so much to explain and set up, now it is like they dont want to reveal too much too soon to drag the series a little bit longer. And as someone else mentioned 2 clip shows dont help either.

[luke7]

just saw next episodes commercial. are they going to kill mr. ecko too ?

[dh4645]

the sex musta been that good that he totally forgot about the gun, when he got dressed and didnt even think about the gun, only thing i could think of
ana is a good lay :)


I wonder if sawyer got to give ana anaL?

[dh4645]

They have it on the website when you open it up. Pretty cool commercial...Carlton Cuse one of the writers and exec producers is the voice over.

Hello Lost thread! My wife and I just watched the entire series in about two weeks, and I have been excited about posting on this thread. However, I am really pissed off that we had to catch up with last week's episode. wtf? Why couldn't we catch up on one of those happy ending episodes, instead of michael gunning people down and shit? Oh well.

I called that number at the bottom of the .pdf file and paged Hugh, since his voice mailbox is full. I did it last night when it was all dark and scary. I was afraid that he'd call back and feed me to the island or something. Weird.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Quick thing I just read. Pretty big spoiler, so be warned:

Libby is not dead yet.

Welcome!!! I, too, played catch-up to the show (see my post at the top of this apge).

Frankly, I think the writers are really digging in for the long haul here... I mean, cmon, we haven't heard ANYTHING about the 'monster' since Mr. Eko came face to face with the black smoke. It seems like they are really sporadic in focusing on aspects of the story. I could easily see this going the six seasons or whatever they planned on from the get-go.

Anyway, I also rewatched last week's episode today, and Libby continued to creep me out. I think I liked her alot more before that episode about Hurley's weird friend (Dave?). Ever since then, she's always been suspicious.

Anyway. Where's Charlie? Where's Claire? Can we get some continuity going, PLEASE?

mmmmmm....

This show keeps you guessing that is for sure. I was so close to loosing interest and now after psycho Micheal I have to keep watching! I agree with the guy that said a little more continuity PLEASE. The story lines are too spread out. It's hard to maintain a connection with any of the characters.

I think Micheal was told to kill certain people in order to get his son back.

[tankdan]

See, personally, I think that The Others only told Michael to spring Henry Gale from the lockup. I don't think that The Others gave him a specific hit-list, Ana Lucia and Libby were just bystanders. I do have to wonder, though... next episode, will we have found that Henry and Michael escaped together, or just that Henry escaped and Michael is laying on the floor, wounded? Seems like the only reason Michael would shoot himself would be to convince Jack,etc, that Henry truly escaped of his own free will.

Dan

[MacGuyver]

i agre with the blackmail thing. no brainwashing.

my only big beef with the show, i guess with the lack of realism. People would talk to eachother for gods sake. nobody would be dumb enough to think that what they see is for their eyes only. How everyone doesn't know about the medical hatch, or eko seeing the smoke, or the black rock, its so disorganized and internally secretive that it almost makes me turn it off. i think at the very worst, different sects would develop and within those sects everything the sect knew would be shared.

whatever.

I'll watch the rest of this season, I find it interesting that the writer or whoever said the season 2 finale will 'blow the season 1 finale out of the water' because of two points

1) 'out of the water' - the underwater hatch?

2) just because the season one finale was SOOOOO good, how can season 2 be better. if i leave it with a sour taste in my mouth, mac might not come back.

the only thing i don't get about the whole framing thing is why would michael lie about everything he said about the others. he could have still pulled off everything he did, the shootings, whilst prior to that telling the truth about others. I don't think he is telling the truth about the others, but I can't think of a reason why he wouldn't be telling the truth about the others either.

then again the others have a boat, that runs on gasoline, so they must have some sort of advanced technology.

[flyer3468]

They wanted him to lie maybe

I think the Others want to keep the illusion alive that they're this roaming band of dirty scrubs, when certain members of the flight survivors know they use disguises and they are much more sophisticated. I think they gave that scene to Michael to describe to keep them believing their original perceptions. Why, I'm not sure yet. Why do they want the survivors to believe they live primitively? Is it to lure them into believing they can take eachother on? Or to hide their identities as scientists running a massive human experiment? I guess we'll find out.................next season most likely.

Perhaps to lead them all into a trap? By saying, "Oh yeah, they have like two guns. We can totally take them" the army or whatever Jack forms to go over will think it'll be easy, when in reality they'll be walking right into a trap.

I don't know, though. Why didn't they just take Jack when he crossed the line? Unless that would mess up the "experiment". The Others are there for a reason, and it's to keep everything going correctly. What "everything" is is the question, though.

But yeah, by having Michael say that they're basically not a threat is odd. I can't see the point.

[Chuck5625]

[Talula62]

I think I'd find psychological conditioning/brainwashing less ludicrous than half the shit that's happened on the show thus far (enter Locke's dinosaur-hallucinogenic mind paste and the black smokey cloud thinger that follows you around, shows you pictures of your life, and disappears into a hole in the ground). :lol

I had a dream last night that Michael blew up the hatch. :ugh

ETA: I don't think he's brainwashed though.

I wonder if everyone will find out Michael is doing dirty work for The Others before the season ends.

[MacGuyver]

I wonder if everyone will find out Michael is doing dirty work for The Others before the season ends.

it all depends on if libby is dead or not.

if she's dead - no chance.

if she's alive - totally.

and if - and here's where my $$$ is - she's in a coma - then the producers can let the losties find out about it whenever the producers feel like it.

I still don't get why michael would side with the others regarding walt, besides getting henry out. like shoot everyone, let henry escape, but why lie about the others camps, gun supply, power, etc? has he totally switched sides?

[Talula62]

maybe the others want to trap them to take all their weapons?

[Franchize41]

wow, interesting episode

[luke7]

Ecko sees dead people now.

[junior94]

Yes, for anyone wondering, the father of the drowned girl is the same guy who acted as a psychic to Claire in the 1st season ;)
