Lost (new viewers)

[The Storm]

I know there is a thread already going on for Lost but it contains spoilers for those who are new to the show. Lost is in its fourth episode (5th on E4) in the UK but I'm not sure where else it has just aired.

So here is our disscussion thread for Lost. Do you have any favourite characters yet? Any thoughts on the actual island? What do you like about the show so far?

[JLBats]

Jack and Kate better bang, goddamnit.

[The Storm]

HAHA

I saw a Lost special on E4 and it showed clips of episodes we haven't seen yet and Kate was getting it on with Sawyer!! I hope her and Jack do hook up though.

[Avalanche]

I actually don't particularly like Jack. I don't hate him by any means, but I just feel indifferent toward him. Kate I much prefer, and I also quite like the pregnant girl.

I noticed they've been gradually toning down the beastness the past couple of episodes. I'm wondering whether that will rear it's ugly head once more.

[imdaly]

I welcome you all to the greatness that is The LOST World!!

Sit back! I can assure you, it'll be a bumpy ride!! :D

Do yourselves a huuuuge favor! Do NOT let yourselves get spoiled ahead of time about this show!! You will ruin a lot of the fun that way!

I again welcome you to that which is the object of my obsession. And I will truly love reading up on this thread to see people's reaction to this show from "virgin eyes".

[The Storm]

I know some potential spoilers as well. I've stopped watching E News Live because it filled with spoilers!! We get it a few days after the US so during Desperate Housewives I didn't watch it.

The pregnant women hasn't been in the last two episodes. I want to see more of Boone and Shannon, I want to see there back story. I really enjoyed the back story of the Korean couple.

[Odin's Lapdog]

I don't really like Lost too much, it kills an hour of my week and i do watch it, but it doesn't have me gripped, and there isn't really any character on the show that i like or dislike more then the others, they all seem pretty ordinary...

sure their back stories are bound to provide some interests, but what really gets me is the organisation of themselves as a group in such a desparate situation.

no one seems right....

Now, I'm not one to question someone else's opinion on a tv show or anything but...are we watching the same show??

[Odin's Lapdog]

Lost is pretty boring...

what happens on the island? Nothing, it's not even organised.

They'v been on a deserted island for ages, and no one is thinking about their loved ones at home, or whether they had to get to a meeting or if they're doors were locked etc.

besides a pregnant woman gets on a plane, and we all know they won't let you fly in such a condition, whether this is explained in her flashback or not will come to be realised.

The show isn't about people trying to deal with a disaster of a plane crash, but rather a slow and mundane unravelling of a (expected) boring tale about the mystery of the island and the people stuck on it.

It's certainly not the best show on the television on at the moment, let alone the best new current trend in my eyes. I get nothing out of it...

No one has really cried yet on the island, and they are all still acting like individuals, blah blah...

i could go on...

[The Storm]

I thought they had only been there a few days. I can't believe you don't find it interesting, probably the most original show in years. All we seem to have is crime, hospital and courtroom dramas.

I'm loving it, can't wait for tonight's episode.

[Odin's Lapdog]

they have been there for over 8 days i believe.

i watch it on e4 as well

so on the first day it aired in the uk, i watched three shows back to back and to be honest it got tiresome, and didn't leave me wanting more afterward.

[The Storm]

I watch it on E4 as well, did the same with Depserate Housewives. Didn't manage to catch the first two episodes so I missed the plane crash.

[Odin's Lapdog]

desparate housewives is another show i can't stand, the level of non-realism is too much...

ugh, i hate that show, you miss one episode and find out a million impossible things have happened.

They certainly don't make shows like they used to...

Thank the lord for Six feet under which is leaps and bounds better than lost, it's the only new (ish) series on television that i make sure i watch...

although i will watch lost tonight, i shall only watch the newer one of e4

[DarkKnightJRK]

I thought they had only been there a few days. I can't believe you don't find it interesting, probably the most original show in years. All we seem to have is crime, hospital and courtroom dramas.

I'm loving it, can't wait for tonight's episode.

There's an episode tonight? Huh.

[Odin's Lapdog]

if you are in the uk, yes there is

[The Storm]

Channel 4 - 10pm or E4 11pm. E4 is a week ahead.

[The Storm]

When will Jack and Kate get it on?! Although there is some tension between her and Sawyer as well.

[Odin's Lapdog]

they will drag it out as long as people are stil watching for a series or two, and then he will probably find out what she went to jail for, and it may be some twist that someone on the island killed jack's father or something equally predictable like that

and consider this

if that drug addict guy found it so easy to give up just after a day and a half, why do other druggies have to put themselves in clinics for months and months on end, it's totally bogus. surely you can see where i'm coming from on the whole realism part of things

Charlie is in a very unique situation. Unlike people in the real world, his drug supply is going to run out shortly anyway, after which there'll be no more, and he'll have to give up anyway. Aside from that, he has a doctor willing to help, and did a few things that helped him recognised his worth as a man. I actually liked the way they dealt with Charlie. I felt for him as a viewer.

[Odin's Lapdog]

if i had two ciggerettes left on an island, i would certainly smoke them before contemplating anything else...

the whole 'well, i'm not getting anymore, might as well use up the last of this and get on with the situation at hand' is more likely the approach i would have taken, and probably most other addicts.

please use spoilers, there are people reading this that don't have e4 and have to wait a week to realise what we are talking about..

[The Storm]

How do you do spoilers?

[Odin's Lapdog]

[spoiler]*insert what you want in here and put a square bracket at the very end next to the R*[/spoiler

[The Storm]

When she ran to him and hugged him I was screaming kiss for f***s sake!! I hope it doesn't get dragged out too long. Everyone is aware of their attraction to each other

What the hell happened to Claire (the pregnant woman)?!

[DarkKnightJRK]

As for characters, I liked the Japanese guy (don't remember his name off-hand) and Jack.

By the way, I think I remember hearing that Paul Dini was somehow involved with the show (I think it was on an advertisement for some con or something). Is he a writer or something?

[Odin's Lapdog]

the 'Korean' male i believe is called Jin

[The Storm]

For someone who doesn't really like Lost you certainly know your stuff. Are you going to continue watching it?

[Odin's Lapdog]

For someone who doesn't really like Lost you certainly know your stuff. Are you going to continue watching it?
i said i would, it kills an hour of my time, and when you're living on your own, every hour counts:o

i missed a little of it yesterday, i missed the part where sawyer is talking to kate, i presume he told her about jack, and i only saw a bit where sayheed (sp?) got logged, i don't know who hit him, but i'm going to guess and say it wasn't sawyer cause that would be obvious

[Gamma Ray]

Did you guys see the one where Boone dies yet?

[Odin's Lapdog]

who is he?

[imdaly]

Gamma, they are only on the 7th or so episode...could you please edit your post to mention that the spoiler is an end-of-the-season spoiler? I can just see some people reading your spoiler even though it's spoilerized, thinking that it's a spoiler about their latest episode, until it's too late.


Also, Odin, many of your concerns about this show are dealt with at one point or another. You will see. People crying, people worrying about loved ones, Charlie dealing with his addiction, etc etc. The writers are masters of the minute detail, and when it seems like you may have found a hole in their logic/storytelling...it's usually ends up just being a "just-wait-and-see" thing...they have it covered down the road.

[The Storm]

I'm guessing its not him either because for the same reason. Saheed (sp?) left Kate with Sawyer to go to his destination. Kate and Sawyer were talking, Sawyer was asking her what she saw in Jack and it seemed he was a little jealous of it. He said she'd have to find someone new being as Jack was dead and then she ran to the caves. Sawyer set off the signal that Kate was supposed to do, which is another reason why I don't think he hit Saheed.

[spider-jide]

Typical. The "Kobe" of Oiental people.

It couldn't be him anyway besides being "obvious" because he was in another part of the forest to set off the flare

[spider-jide]

On another note, I love this show. I watch it on e4 to keep ahead but I hate those 2 idiots from the 118 118 adverts who sponser the show. Anyway, I think the way the story and characters are handled are pretty detailed, griping and convincing, the flash backs are pretty good and I like all the characters. That girl who has a brother is definately hot but she p1ses me off because she's such a ditzy cow. Thank God for this show because really and truelly, theres not much on tv thats good these days.

[The Storm]

Agree with what you said there Jide. Its certainly a break from all the other shows (although I'm a huge DH fan). I really like the flashbacks, although I desperate to know what Kate did. IMO Kate is prettier than Shannon. I think women got a better deal, we have Jack, Sawyer, Boone and Charlie.

I can't wait til next week's show, I'm contemplating ordering the DVD box set from Amazon.

[amazingfantasy15]

You do find out what Kate did later in the season Storm. Her and Jack both have 3 or 4 episodes that deal with their respective back stories, all 13 of the main characters get at least one episode for their back story, the bigger characters get more than one. There are a good deal of mysteries solved as the season progresses, however, a bunch of new mysteries are brought up too. Wow, it's really diffiicult talking about this show without giving anything away. Keep on watching though, it just gets better and better as the season progress.

[DarkKnightJRK]

the 'Korean' male i believe is called Jin

Hey, I've only seen three episodes, cut me some slack! :D

Seriously, does anyone know about Paul Dini's involvement on the show?

[AshtonFoster]

'Lost' is the greatest show invented since '24'. I'm from the UK, and I watched the episode premiere on Channel 4, but I couldnt wait anymore to watch more, so I downloaded all the episodes from tvtorrents.com. Find a torrent program, such as 'bit tornado', then get a torrent file of an episode, and you can thank me later. I watched the entire season in 6 days.

*For legal purposes, I do not promote the use of any torrents for downloading TV programs (even if we have the benifit of no adverts, amazing HD quality, and watching programs 2 months in advance than what we would have in the UK. All rights reserved. Copyright 2005 ;)

[The Storm]

I would love to do something like that then at the same time I'm thinking well if I do I have no one to talk to about it. Its a tough decision but I'll probably just watch it on E4 and just do with the repeats on Sunday.

[AshtonFoster]

I would love to do something like that then at the same time I'm thinking well if I do I have no one to talk to about it.

That's the only downer......You have all this knowlegde, yet you cant spoil it for anyone. I was on the London underground last week, and some people were talking about 'Lost' and their theories. It was driving me crazy - I just wanted to go over to them, get involved in the conversation, and just reveal all to them....But obviously I couldnt. But my friend has watched the season as well, so he keeps my insanity levels down.

[The Storm]

I miss London, sorry off topic.

I have a theory already but its probably wrong.

[Obsidian]

they will drag it out as long as people are stil watching for a series or two, and then he will probably find out what she went to jail for, and it may be some twist that someone on the island killed jack's father or something equally predictable like that

Wait until the end of the season:o

[AshtonFoster]

Wait until the end of the season:o

Well said...People - AKA: Odin's Lapdog, need to stop jumping to conclusions. The writers arent dumb.....
You've been pretty much wrong in all your theories....so much for being predictable.

[Odin's Lapdog]

i haven't made any theories:confused:

[Odin's Lapdog]

those 118 guys are pretty cool actually, especially when one of them shouts out 'racheal', always reminds me of batman begins...:o

I'm sorry but i'm just not clicking to these characters, there's no emotional attachment to them, if jack would have died in that cave, i would have been no big deal

heck, we've all read lord of the flies right, although it deals with children on an island as appose to adults, i expect a similar situation to inevitably break out once hope kinda expires on the island, yet i doubt that's going to happen....


also the burning of corpses on a beach would smell horrific for a few days, especially corpses that have been left to rot on a beach for a while, having everyone standing round while the fuselage going up in smoke with the smell of kerosine and rotting flesh in the air would not be a pleasant occassion, yet everyone is happy to do so.

^^^^

it's this kinda knit picking that really doesn't do it for me. yeah sure, there can be disbelief and all, but when a show's foundation is based on the seriousness of the situation, simple things like such shouldn't be overlooked.

other thinks such as the lady's legs not getting hairier or the fact that after eiht days most of the men still don't need a shave, or that no one smells, or no one has really brushed their teeth is also pulls on my strings. also small things like people wearing clothes that don't fit them, or having different clothes for different climates (as passengers may have been on a transit flight etc).

and if that large castaway (whose name escapes me at this present time, doesn't start to lose some seriouis weight over the next couple of weeks (island time), i'm gonna be pissed:mad:


....

*rant to be continued on later date, most likely next thursday after wednesday's e4 show*

I don´t care about any of that stuff cuz in a show like that, you just have to suspend disbelief a lot... I enjoy 24 aware that there´s no way all these things could happen in the same day and every terrorist attack involves LA and it´s always up to Jack Bauer to save the day, I enjoy Alias aware that nobody speaks as many languages as Sidney does and women that size don´t beat the crap out of well-trained 200 pound six feet guys and no way she would always have to disguise in sexy leather outfits...

Connecting to the character is a subjective thing... I think Hurley is funny, I sympathize with Jack, Charlie and Sayd, I´m intrigued by Kate and Locke, I find Sawyer repulsive - which is what he´s supposed to be. The only character I really can´t stand is Maggie.

Here are the theories for the island mystery I REALLY hope don´t turn out true...

- They´re dead and in purgatory

- They´re trapped in a government secret experiment

- They´re trapped in an alien ship

- They´re in a Matrix-like virtual reality simulation

[BT18]

Vincent the dog's flashback episode is a must see.

At one point it's just dog butt sniffing for 4 and a half minutes.

[AshtonFoster]

i haven't made any theories:confused:

Look in this thread - Post No.18 - Date: 09-08-2005 - Time:10:56 AM. You made some then :)

Anways man, just keep on watching. You wont be dissapointed. TRUST ME.

[Odin's Lapdog]

ah those theories...

:o

silly me...

i don't watch 24 or Alias, these new batch of shows don't really appeal to me to much, i'm not an easy cookie to please unfortunately.

[ultimatefan]

i don't watch 24 or Alias, these new batch of shows don't really appeal to me to much, i'm not an easy cookie to please unfortunately.
I don´t consider myself easy to please, there´re just a few shows I watch regularly, but I know certain genres of shows are bound to demand some significant suspension of disbelief. Every sci-fi, horror, fantasy or action show, for instance, from X-Files to Buffy to 24, needs that. It doesn´t mean they can´t be smart, exciting, intriguing, etc.

[spider-jide]

I saw today's episode on E4, Sawyer is an idiot. He'd deliberately allow himself to Be tortured just to kiss kate? What a moron..

[logan_weapon_x]

Sorry guys, i've tried to watch the show, but i just don't 'get it'. Its ok at best for me. It just doesnt keep my attention. I don't see how it's being hailed as the best show ever at the moment. Its like alot ofpeople are just saying it purely cause other people are.

[Avalanche]

I keep thinking Sawyer is going to become a the cheeky rogue who we all love, but he really isn't. He's just hateful. It's a shame there are people like that who actually exist.

Charlie is growing on me more and more each week.

[WallCrawl]

I keep thinking Sawyer is going to become a the cheeky rogue who we all love, but he really isn't. He's just hateful. It's a shame there are people like that who actually exist.

I'm glad simply because there are people like him and for him to become a cheeky rogue would just be way too typical.

Or because they honestly enjoy it and it just happens that you don´t. Simple as that.

[logan_weapon_x]

Or because they honestly enjoy it and it just happens that you don´t. Simple as that.

No i'm not saying that alot of people don't enjoy it. Alot probably do. Its just here in Britain people tend to follow the trend with alot of things even if they are poor just to have something to talk to people about.

[Odin's Lapdog]

I think it happened more to make a point rather than anything else, a point that he needs to make in order to keep himself going on the island. everyone role in society needs to be filled and he's found one that he can take up, so he's making the best use of it.

[spider-jide]

Then its clear his role in life is to be the world's biggest batch of vaginal discharge. He's doing an awesome job.

[Odin's Lapdog]

and that's why people are going to like him, cause 'society' made him this way and it's not entirely his own doing. he's a product of unfortunate events...

and he may redeem himself wolverine style later on, i can feel it in my bones...

at the end of the day, he didn't do anything wrong, and he was victimised.

he knows what he's doing

the real bad guy in that ep was locke who managed to convince sayheed that locke was indeed responsible for being hit on the head in the previous ep, yet he gets away without any sort of blame for that ep.

it would seem again that the real bad dude gets away with it again. (although it would be obvious to think of locke simply as a bad guy, even though he's probably got more layers than that

[Sava]

love the show.. but i watch it on Channel 4, so i'm like a week behind you guys

[That-Guy]

Damn, you guys are making me miss England and not miss it all at the same time (I miss the place in general, but I don't miss being months behind America on movies and TV shows). Still, I'd take England over the U.S. any day of the week. At least your country respects stage acting.

Anyway...

Sawyer is definitely my favorite character on the show. Yeah, he's a bastard and a jackass, and maybe it is a little cliche that it's not totally his fault, but I think audiences are drawn to him because everyone knows how it feels to be an outcast and if it happens to you enough times, you eventually get to the point where you WANT to be the outcast because its the only thing you know how to be. But what makes Sawyer even more interesting is that he does have the ability to charm people and con them into thinking that he is trustworthy, yet he actually prefers to poke fun at them and piss them all off. So in some ways, by acting like a prick 23 out of 24 hours in a day, he's actually being more honest than if he was being nice to them.

Ironic, huh?

That´s what´s cool about the Lost characters, they all at first look like stereotypes, but as you see their flashbacks and their dynamics in the island, you find out more and more about them. Charlie at first looks like your typical junkie Rock Star, but then you find out about his religious background, his complicated relationship with his brother, his failed attempt at straighten up his life, his devotion to Claire - despite the fact they haven´t had even a smooch in the whole season...

[The Storm]

Despite Sawyer being a complete prick, I'm drawn to him. Finally found out how he got it on with Kate. I'm waiting for the siblings back ground, when Shannon was having her attacks she and her brother were exchanging strange looks.

[imdaly]

I'm continuing to love reading everyone's reactions/thoughts/predictions about this show as it airs over there for you all! Reminds me of where my mindset was during those episodes the first time around. You have to realize that as you go further on in the show you learn more and more about the cast and the things happening that make you see the earlier episodes in a whole new light. This is one of my favorite things about the show. You can rewatch it over and over, and see it in a new way every time.

Keep it goin! :D

Season 2 starts up for us in 2 days ;)


Oh, and the Iraqi's name spelling is "Sayid", just so ya know. :)

[That-Guy]

Yeah, it is fun to read people's predictions and know who is right and who is completely off. If there is anything any of you would like to know and absolutely CAN'T wait for the episode, PM me and I'll tell ya, but it's honestly more fun just to watch it all unfold.

[Sava]

all the damn episodes end in cliffhangers :mad:

[Odin's Lapdog]

another week roles in and out...

still many points bother me, and i felt kinda empty with the ep they showed on E4 on wednesday.

yet i continue to watch because i'm promised that these will be resolved sooner or later...

it must be at least half way through the series now, i'm just wondering how much later is later going to be...


ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

[The Storm]

I missed yesterday's episode because I was out boozing and I'm still feeling it. I'll catch it on Second Chance Sunday!!

[Sava]

the french woman is alive :eek: :up:

[Odin's Lapdog]

that was obvious...

[DeadFeckin'Last]

S**t, I was a bad boy and downloaded the whole series. Being months behind was too much. I ain't gonna spoil it for the rest of ya but it's a damn awesome show. And if anyone watched last nights episode, what do you think the black rock is? And don't state the obvious lol.

[Sava]

that was obvious...


huh.... was i the only one who didnt see it coming? :(

[black_dust]

Ive read all the episodes from the other thread because i was so bored of waiting to see what happens, the pace of the show is so slow and it seems to get started then goes off! its like bad sex

[Holly Goodhead]

Hurley - Hispanic big guy, won the lottery by using the #'s 4,8,15,16,23,42
Michael - African american male, Walt's father

Charlie - English ex rock star, addicted to heroin.
Claire/Aaron - Australian pregnant blonde girl.
Boone - Step brother to Shannon

[DeadFeckin'Last]

A little run down of the main characters for the new people: Might be a few spoilers..but small ones.

Jack - Doctor, main male lead
Kate - Fugitive, main female lead
Locke - Hunter, regained ability to walk after plane crash.
Sayid - Ex Republican Guard soldier (Iraq), Communications Officer (interrogator)
Sawyer - Confidence man (runs scams)
Sun - Korean woman, married to Jin, speaks English
Jin - Korean man, married to Sun, can't speak English
Hurley - Hispanic big guy, won the lottery by using the #'s 4,8,15,16,23,24
Michael - African american male, Walt's father
Walt/Vincent - African american boy, has a golden labrador named Vincent
Charlie - English ex rock star, addicted to heroin.
Claire/Aaron - Australian pregnant blonde girl.
Boone - Step brother to Shannon
Shannon - Step sister to Boone

Shouldn't that be 4,8,15,16,23,42?

[Holly Goodhead]

Oops

[imdaly]

A little run down of the main characters for the new people: Might be a few spoilers..but small ones...


whoa whoa whoa there Holly! eek! You should probably edit out the info about Hurley, seeing as how that's a pretty huge spoiler that they haven't been able to watch yet. They're only around episode 9 or so, I think..that's an episode 18 spoiler. :x

[Odin's Lapdog]

huh.... was i the only one who didnt see it coming? :(
no point mentioning her if she wasn't still going to be there i suppose...

[Sava]

no point mentioning her if she wasn't still going to be there i suppose...


huh.. never thought of it that way, i thought her character was to show us and the cast that there was another crash here

[The Storm]

The French women is a complete nut! I really enjoyed Sayid's backstory. Its getting more interesting as the weeks go by. Glad to see Sawyer finally attempting to fit it.

[Odin's Lapdog]

you're nearly a week behind on that post

and personally i think she may be one of the sanest people on the island, or turn out to be eventually if she survives long enough

only time will tell

[The Storm]

Yeah I know, I watch it Sunday and only just got online.

[Odin's Lapdog]

i see...

[November Rain]

well another episode rolls in, and another hour of my life i wish was returned to me.

obvious build up on e4 to an inevitable ending.

where's all this edge of my seat excitment i'm supposed to be getting, i get more from watching hollyoaks

(that was a low blow)

[The Storm]

Hollyoaks is cack......sorry. I thought this weeks episode (E4) was a good one. I was a tad creeped out watching it on my own. Finally Claire gets some decent screen time. Why does she have to raise this child herself? Surely if she would have put it up for adoption then she would've never been on the plane. The answer is probably easy to work out. That Ethan guy is well creepy, I thought there was something dodgy about him in last week's episode.

I'm dying to see the siblings backstory, why is Boone so uptight about certain things?

[Sava]

i downloaded the first season:D :up:

[spider-jide]

This show continues to impress me and why the hell doesn't anybody ever listen to lock, the guy knows what he's talking about but people never listen and would rather act on misguided instinct as opposed to intelligence.

[November Rain]

i wiped out last night on free alcohol, i'm going to have to catch it on e4 on sunday...

damn you for giving free wine to an alcoholic....

:mad:

[The Storm]

This week's episode was brilliant. The Jack/Kate/Charlie scene almost had me in tears. It keeps getting better and better every week. A very interesting show, Whats in the box? Why do 'they' want Claire' .

What happened to Rose? She was in one episode where Jack convinced her to join the others when burning the fuselage (bad spelling).

[The Storm]

Does anyone watch this anymore?! Its getting fantastic the past few episodes have been great. A good one with Claire returning and the next episode with Sawyer's background was also very good. What do you think about Sun & Jin, will he ever speak to her again? We just had Hurley's background, which was very interesting indeed. The numbers......any thoughts.

[Odin's Lapdog]

still watch it...

it's picked up i must admit, but it's still not life changing television...

[Electrix]

Tonight should be good!

[amazingfantasy15]

The Storm, the actress who plays Rose was in a play in New York last year for most of the time they were filming Lost, since Lost films in Hawaii it was kinda hard to give her a lot of screen time. She's still on the island and gets more screen time in the second season.

[Red X]

For all uk fans out there tonight's episodes are Hurley (funny) and Locke (Seasons best episode) on E4.

[GothicPowerMix1]

Sun & Jin do make up as seen in last weeks Lost

[Dark Carnage]

Well, no we know why John's father isn't cool.

Bastard.

[Odin's Lapdog]

Sun & Jin do make up as seen in last weeks Lost
please put spoiler tags over your stuff, you're obviously on american time here, and this thread is really meant for brits watching it for the first time...

:o

[Red X]

Well, no we know why John's father isn't cool.

Bastard.

Great episode, Locke just gets cooler and cooler.

[Odin's Lapdog]

if yesterday's ep was the best of the series apparently, then it looks like i shouldn't have high hopes for the rest of it cause it was kinda dull...

[AllThingsComic]

I'm not ragging on you at all Odin, but why watch? I can't seem to understand why you continue to watch if you have this discontempt for the show? I particularly do not care for six feet under,so guess what, I don't watch it. I don't go on boards for six feet under and say what an unworthy show it is to watch. Again, i'm not trying to start some big cyber argument with you, i'm just trying to understand why you continue to watch?

[Red X]

Anyone notice Hurley was told he owned a box factory.

[AllThingsComic]

dammit I missed sporadic moments, when was this said?

[Odin's Lapdog]

simple...

because if i don't watch, then i can't form a valid opinion.

i'll just be talking out of my ass...

plus you don't have to like something to post an opinion on the subject and it isn't like i'm going around trying to stir up trouble. just saying how i feel.

:o

plus it kills an hour on a wednesday...

[Dark Carnage]

I heard it, but I didn't notice it's significance. Thanks for bring that to light.

[Odin's Lapdog]

Anyone notice Hurley was told he owned a box factory.
yeah i did, most likely it's locke...

i presume hurley may have used his unlucky powers to somehow cause locke to lose the ability of his legs via some accident

[Red X]

I heard it, but I didn't notice it's significance. Thanks for bring that to light.

I thought it was kind of an injoke

[AllThingsComic]

You're 100% correct Odin, just wanted to understand you're thought process on watching the show. Well I agree with you on one thing, or maybe it's just my damn impatience, but the show needs to pick up the pace a bit.

[Odin's Lapdog]

You're 100% correct Odin, just wanted to understand you're thought process on watching the show. Well I agree with you on one thing, or maybe it's just my damn impatience, but the show needs to pick up the pace a bit.
it would have been easy for me to say something based on one show and then nag stupidly about it, but then i won't be able to justify it later on, so i need to keep on top of things. Don't get me wrong, it's gotten better but it's still generally uneventful with one them per ep and everthing else pretty much stands still for that time...

like sayeed's relationship with the blonde chick hasn't been discussed and i can't believe no one has had sex yet:o the little things get to me.

as for the pace i don't think it's going to pick up, i have the same problem with 24 being uneventful for long periods of time, i just guess the american audience are more tolerating of pacing than the brits.

[AllThingsComic]

Not by much Odin, if any. Every week at the end of the show I spew many a curse word at the screen. Sometimes even threatening not to watch anymore out of impatience! lol

[Odin's Lapdog]

that's probably how it accumulates so many viewers, more people dislike it than like it. It's not an uncommon statistic....

:D

[AllThingsComic]

Something totally un-related, does anyone know how to change what it says under your screenname(mine says sidekick, have no idea how it got there?)?

[Odin's Lapdog]

it's a reward for reachig a certain number of posts, i'm unaware of how many it is, but if you go to the technical support board, there are some threads there that will help enlighten you.

[AllThingsComic]

great thanks alot Odin, didn't mean to get off subject there. I'll give you yet another topic, why is Sawyer is beginning to resemble Jesus? Discuss.(terrible Mike Myers impression there)

[Red X]

Sawyer can look like whatever he likes. Him and locke keep me watching.

[The Storm]

I didn't watch it properly but what a fantastic ending, such a cliffhanger. Seeing Locke with hair was funny but his backstory was fascinating and just adds to his character. Sawyer fascinates me, I think (at the moment) he is underused, I'd like to see more of him....well more of him with this top off!

I don't understand we dull character like Jack and Kate get so many episodes, while other don't the more interesting character get more episodes.

[The Storm]

I don't think Jack and Kate are dull, in fact I think Kate is one of the most interesting characters because we don't really know much about her. I find Kate is also underused as a character, at the moment she says a few things and looks pretty. She and Sawyer seem very much alike and I would love to see this love triangle expanded on.

[Dark Carnage]

A love triangle, with herpes!?:eek:

[imdaly]

Ohhhhh boy....


You guys are in for such a great episode next week!

[The Storm]

I hope so IMO its getting better every week but I wish they would utilise more characters instead of the same group every week.

[Red X]

only 4 episodes left, i just feel now screw it i will watch the E4 episodes too.

[Red X]

bump

[Red X]

Seen this?

they can't overuse him, he has the 'wolverine' factor...

over exposure would ruin the character's mystique...

[Odin's Lapdog]

great thanks alot Odin, didn't mean to get off subject there. I'll give you yet another topic, why is Sawyer is beginning to resemble Jesus? Discuss.(terrible Mike Myers impression there)
hmmmmmmm

not sure about that one, it never really crossed my mind...

although the majority of the characters still having perfect hair does get on my nerves...

it's like they've found a salon on a deserted island or something...

:o

[Odin's Lapdog]

Ohhhhh boy....


You guys are in for such a great episode next week!
no point raising our hopes, it's bound to dissapoint when people say things like this...

:o

[Red X]

they can't overuse him, he has the 'wolverine' factor...

over exposure would ruin the character's mystique...

He is like movie wolverine sure, but he reminds me more of Han Solo.

[The Storm]

I've noticed that the women always look decent but the men look rough for the most part. Did someone say there was only four episodes left?!

[Odin's Lapdog]

He is like movie wolverine sure, but he reminds me more of Han Solo.
they are both characters cast from the same mould, the outsider everyone loves to hate to love....

[Odin's Lapdog]

I've noticed that the women always look decent but the men look rough for the most part. Did someone say there was only four episodes left?!
yeah somone said it earlier, bit of a shame i hate knowing how much longer a series is going to last, takes the edge off it..

one of the reasons i don't like 24 is the fact that without too much thought, you know when it's going to finish.

[November Rain]

YOu guys are going to love the next ep when it comes.....i sooo wanna spoil it for you all but i'll keep it secret...

trust me, you won't be dissapointed...

[imdaly]

yeah somone said it earlier, bit of a shame i hate knowing how much longer a series is going to last, takes the edge off it..

one of the reasons i don't like 24 is the fact that without too much thought, you know when it's going to finish.

The season ends after 4 more episodes for you over there. Then Season 2 starts.

Don't you worry. The creators of the show have said that they have about 6 seasons of LOST mapped out presently...it's not going anywhere for a while.




You get a new episode tonight, don't you?? I can't wait to come back here and see the comments afterwards!

[Odin's Lapdog]

i fell asleep watching it...

:o

i'm going to have to catch it again on the weekend when they do repeats

[Red X]

Great episode , even though it had jack flashbacks.

[The Storm]

More Jack flashbacks!!! I want to know more about Kate. What a fantastic episode, IMO one of the best. I wanted to know what Locke was getting up to. Does Michelle Rodriguez have anything to do with the Locke situation? I cried this episode, mainly because Boone died but also seeing Claire's baby which reminded me of when I first saw my nephew.

Was Boone trying to tell Jack to tell Shannon that he loves her or about the hangar (is it a hangar?!). I'm glad we got to see Kate interacting with other people besides Jack, Sawyer and Sajid.

What do you guys think about the actual island and what has happened there?

[Red X]

Seems to be that Boon was trying to tell Jack to tell Shannon that he loved her .

I hope next weeks is as good

[The Storm]

Agreed, this week's episode blew me away. Some very strong stuff but I'm eager to know more about Kate especially who her special relationship will be with, Jack or Sawyer. For those who have seen the series already do we get Michelle Rodriguez before this series is out?

[JLBats]

You get her in one small Jack flashback.

[The Storm]

He has another one!!!

[imdaly]

He has another one!!!

They ALL have flashbacks in the finale.

[Red X]

Whats was the threads name again? Lost (new viewers)
not lost spoiler's

[The Storm]

Has anyone bought the Part 1 boxset? I was going to but Part 2 is due out soon and after the season has finished they'll probably release the complete series.

[Red X]

Has anyone bought the Part 1 boxset? I was going to but Part 2 is due out soon and after the season has finished they'll probably release the complete series.

Thats what i though too, better to wait till its all in one boxset.

[The Storm]

I caught the ending on E4 Second Chance Sunday and it got the tears welling up again. Although someone posted in here about Boone dying without spoiler tags so I knew it was coming!!

I bet the complete series will be well expensive.

[Red X]

I bet the complete series will be well expensive.

But worth it.

[The Storm]

True, is it just me or are we the only two Brits watching the programme?!

[Dark Carnage]

It's you.

[Red X]

Anyone see last nights?

[Dark Carnage]

Probably a lot of people, but they just don't post here.:o

Yeah I saw it, Locke is still the man.

[The Storm]

Hmmm....well they should!

By last nights Red X do you mean Boone's funeral and Sajjid's flashback, which I thought was amazing. So now we know why he would do anything for a woman (i.e. Shannon). Sawyer with Claire's baby was funny, just seeing Sawyer in those glasses makes me laugh. He still looks hot! Its a shame its near the end of the series, it gets better and bettere every week. The thing thats going to p*** me off is waiting until next August until Season 2

[Odin's Lapdog]

it's finally picking up a little but it's still taking way too long to get anywhere...

[The Storm]

Finally Kate gets another flashback, I still think she kicks ass despite what shes done. I had to watch it twice because my dad made so much noise while wrapping presents.

New Year's Day, E4 are playing 8 episodes ready the for season finale on the 2nd. Does anyone else find Walt quite creepy? I know he is meant to be special but he is kinda creepy for a kid. I don't think the raft is going to work, I reckon they'll be swept back on to the island but to a different part of it.

[Red X]

I was kind of dissapointed with the last episode, it was mostly filler. We didn't learn anything new about Kate really. Although Jack finding out about the latch was interesting.

So are they showing both parts of the finally on the 2nd?

[black_dust]

how did shannon know jake had the key to the gun case when only a few people knew about the gun?

[Red X]

Sajjid knew because he used one of the guns, maybe he told her.

[imdaly]

how did shannon know jake had the key to the gun case when only a few people knew about the gun?

I believe everyone found out about them when it came time to trap Ethan earlier on this season. Remember when the plan was hatched that Charlie was insisting on being one of the people with a gun.

And if they didn't all find out then, they certainly all found out once Charlie shot down Ethan. Hurley definitely heard about that, since he was asking Sayid to help Charlie with his "Gulf War Syndrome".

As far as the key goes, I'm willing to bet Sayid ended up mentioning to Shannon about it during some pillow talk.

[Red X]

Great episode.

Sawyer once again proved he is the show's best character by telling jack about his father.

[The Storm]

This was one of the best episodes IMO. Kate is a little bad ass!! The scene between Sawyer and Jack was very touching, I'm in love with Sawyer! Can't wait to see more of Rodriquez in the second series but I'm really really looking forward to the season finale!

Locke obviously knows what the monster thing is, I highly doubt its a monster it sounded like a robot of some kind, like some high tech security system. The 'others' bits creeped the hell out of me especially when everyone turned around and saw the smoke. How come Hurley went with Locke, Jack, Kate and the teacher to the dark territory?

So the raft has been launched. How far will they get? I doubt very far, something will bring them back like a storm or something.

[Red X]

IS the season finally 2 parts or 3?

[Sava]

i think 2 parts

[imdaly]

It's 3 parts, but (at least here in USA) Parts 2 and 3 were shown together as a 2-hour finale.

So however you look at it, in total, the finale is 3 hours long. You've seen the first.



Oh, and.........I can't WAIT to see your reactions after the finale! :D I really want to see Odin's reaction to this week's episode, too.

[The Storm]

Yeah its a two hour finale, but we have to wait until the 11th.

[chosen1]

So is Jack's dad really Alive?

[Red X]

Yeah its a two hour finale, but we have to wait until the 11th.

:down

Bye the way the full season box set is coming out in jan for £60

[The Storm]

Serious?! Perhaps I'll wait until Play knocks the price down or see how much discount I can get with my NUS card!! The Desperate Housewives boxset is only £27.99 instead of £60.

[Dark Carnage]

Mwahahahahaha!

I feel alseep after watching Eastenders on Wednesday, so I went and downloaded the rest of Season 1's episodes. And now I'm up to date with Season 2. Amazing stuff.

So long, losers. :p

[Sava]

Mwahahahahaha!

I feel alseep after watching Eastenders on Wednesday, so I went and downloaded the rest of Season 1's episodes. And now I'm up to date with Season 2. Amazing stuff.

So long, losers. :p


i did that after watching the first 2 episodes :D

[Dark Carnage]

Yeah I was considering it early on, but an 8+gb download and then upload seemed like a little too much.

[Nightwing]

Exodus part 1 was awesome.very gripping stuff.seen as ive read tons of spoilers i know how it all pans out but i still cant wait for exodus parts 2+3 im gonna watch the 8 back to back episodes i can tell you that.im a lost fanatic

[JLBats]

I was so disappointed by Exodus.

[black_dust]

me2 but i know 2 and 3 are going to kick ass..... but leave us hangging like idiots for season 2

[Union Jack]

never got into lost..never really appealed to me at all.

the story seems to be drawn out too much for me.

I'll stick with smallville i think.

lost was written by someone involved with the comics wasnt it??

[imdaly]

lost was written by someone involved with the comics wasnt it??

Kinda. One of the creator's of the show, Damon Lindelof, will be writing the "Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk" mini here soon.

[Nightwing]

lost was written by someone involved with the comics wasnt it??

paul dini has a part to play in the creation of lost. it is JJ Abrams but Dini is like co creator or something and i also hearsd Jeph Loeb was gonna be getting in on the action as well.

so long as they dont ruin it.too many cooks spoil the broth as they say.

[The Storm]

I think I'll watch the final episode and start downloading Season 2. I've been pretty tempted to download the first season for ages but decided against it. I don't think I can be arsed waiting until August for the new season.

[Odin's Lapdog]

only 2 more shows left in the present series left to make a mark.

so far nothing really takes my fancy in this programme and unless something big happens i can't see myself beeing excited to wait for the next series.

[Red X]

Great finally

[Nightwing]

How cool was Exodus 2 & 3? and we get season 2 in spring cos Channel four cant wait to air it.how cool

[Nightwing]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episodes_of_Lost_%28season_1%29

please feel free to check this and click on all the lost links to find websites created by lost creators to keep the dream alive.

but beware the season 2 is a run down of the episodes and contains MAJOR SPOILERS

[The Storm]

Exodus Part 2 & 3 were amazing, what a finale. I must admit I s*** myself a few times but the dynamite moment had me laughing. Seeing them all on the plane was quite touching and Kate and Jack finally had a moment. I thought they could possibly kiss but along came Hurley screaming about the numbers.

So the hatch is actually a tunnel, obviously has something to do with the one Locke was almost pulled down. Is that where the 'others' are from? Those bloody bastards shot Sawyer! That was a great scene, so Walt is the child they've been after probably because he is creepy!! Whats the deal with the French chick, I thought she'd have been looking for her daughter.

[Nightwing]

ok so first off.the hatch is an underground facility.secondly the french chick is looking for her daughter and they are casting a 16 yr old to play her in an upcoming season 2 episode. and thirdly the others are scientists from the underground facility who have gone topside

[imdaly]

Whoa, dude, Nightwing. PLEEEEEASE edit that post out!

The people on this thread most likely do not want to be spoiled by the events of Season 2, and will most likely read your spoiler tags, thinking it's spoilers about the Season 1 finale, in case some haven't watched it yet.

Please, please, please, edit that out?


Edit: 3,000 posts! Woohoo!

[The Storm]

Well done imdaly! Yeah thanks Nightwing, I don't need to wait for Season 2.

Although the advert for season 2 does show the underground facility briefly. I understand the French Chick bit, do you reckon people would buy it if her daughter was mixed race (I want to be on Lost!).

I'm tempted to download Season 2 but Desperate Housewives starts next Wednesday!

[Bat Brain]

If anyone of you guys in the UK have access to the Irish channel RTE 2, Lost series 2 is starting on Febuary 6. :D

[Odin's Lapdog]

i can't believe i still haven't watched teh last two episodes, i recorded it and i won't get a chance to watch it till tomorrow night, life indeed is harsh....

:mad:

they better not suck after all this waiting...

[The Storm]

IMO, Exodus is one of the best of the series. Doesn't really answer any questions it just poses more (does that even make sense.)

If anyone of you guys in the UK have access to the Irish channel RTE 2, Lost series 2 is starting on Febuary 6.

Can you receive this channel on Sky? I can't understand why we are so behind, apparently Lost was supposed to be aired a while ago. I think thats why Season 2 is starting in Spring rather than August.

[November Rain]

i thought it was alright, i wonder what the future brings for the lost island members

[Red X]

Can you get RTE 2 on sky?

[imdaly]

I'm anxioiusly awaiting Odin's Lapdog's thoughts on the last two episodes of Season 1.

[Bat Brain]

5 more days for us Irish.

For anyone wondering about receiving RTE 2 on Sky, look here: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds28384.html

[The Storm]

Yes Sky digital channel 175 & 176! Woo hoo, Lost series two! Thanks Batbrain.

[Red X]

Yes Sky digital channel 175 & 176! Woo hoo, Lost series two! Thanks Batbrain.

Where are they, which catorgy?

[November Rain]

what are you guys talking about?

[AllThingsComic]

This thread is kind of a bore lately, no disrespect to anyone, but I remember getting to work and signing on to SHH just to read peoples hypothesis on the show. I know we've had a bunch of repeats of late, but let's get back to the guessing game. I thoroughly enjoy peoples take on the show.

[November Rain]

well the series has finished in the uk so there is technically nothing to talk about until the new series starts up again...

[Gamma Ray]

What did you think of the last episode? What do you think is in that hatch?

[November Rain]

a empty room with a keyboard and screen and the person has to key in the unlucky numbers every day or so otherwise something happens...

[AllThingsComic]

well the series has finished in the uk so there is technically nothing to talk about until the new series starts up again...

I hope I didn't offend you, what I was referring to was theories about the island, why they are there, the numbers and how they all tie in. Like I mentioned, I love reading peoples ideas of what they think is going on as I have no clue(well some theories).

[The Storm]

Entertainment I think Red X. The island is some sort of scientific lab where they research humans or something along those lines. I also think Kate should have made up her mind when this new series starts and get it on with Jack or Sawyer, probably be Jack though.

[November Rain]

I hope I didn't offend you, what I was referring to was theories about the island, why they are there, the numbers and how they all tie in. Like I mentioned, I love reading peoples ideas of what they think is going on as I have no clue(well some theories).don't get me wrong, i wasn't offended...

i was just saying it's hard to keep people talking about a subject when it isn't on television regularly enough to warrant it....

have you seen the american lost thread?

I think that would be a good place to go if you wanted to find out some cool info or perhaps find out what is currently taking place on the island.

as for here, it's going to be a little dry for a couple of months until the second season is back on air.

[Red X]

Nope, not in entertainment either.

[The Storm]

I can't find it either and now Sky has rearranged everything!

[Neto Magnus]

do you guys even know what's in the Hatch yet?

anyway, I think it be easier if y'all downloaded the episodes so that you can catch up.

[Bat Brain]

Has anyone managed to find RTE 2 yet? Episode 2.3 is on tonight at 10pm.

[The Storm]

No I need to flick through all the channels to find it. That takes time!

[The Storm]

The old thread died on its arse due to the lengthy wait of Season 2. It begins again on Tuesday, two hour long opening. Finally viewers will have some questions answered. What is the hatch? What happened to Walt? Will Kate ever get it on with Jack or Sawyer?

There are some of us who have already seen Season 2 or most of it. I'm currently up to episode 12. Let the discussions begin.

[Red X]

Yay! its back. Remember me Storm?

[Red X]

Shazam!

[The Storm]

I couldn't find the other thread when I searched for it. Mods can this be merged or deleted please. Good find X.

[The Storm]

Thanks X. I've been enjoying season 2 thanks to the addition of Michelle Rodriguez. The first 12 episodes are pretty intense and a lot events happen. Interesting season.

[Odin's Lapdog]

another season of this....


bah, i hope it's better than the first, more than likely it's just going to make things more confusing than where we got left off.

[The Storm]

Yes another season Odin and you can admit that you like it now, its ok! Starts tomorrow on Channel 4 and as usual you can catch the third episode on E4 after it finishes.

[Odin's Lapdog]

like it, NEVER!!!!

:p

the last two eps were intersting but it's going to take another good 20 eps for it to get back into that kinda pacing again, they are going to start it off slow again filling months and months with really nothing major happening.


you know it's true.

:o

[The Storm]

Actually its not. In fact I was suprised at the pace of the new series and it gets pretty interesting with the new characters.

[XwolverineX]

Hurley dies.

[Odin's Lapdog]

i don't care but other members might, so you may wanna put that in a spoiler tag before people jump up your ass.

:p:)

[Odin's Lapdog]

Actually its not. In fact I was suprised at the pace of the new series and it gets pretty interesting with the new characters.
so you've been cheating and getting your fix of lost from another source huh?

tsk tsk tsk

:)

in that case how can i take what you are saying at face value about pace, when you've been able to download plenty at a time, i've got to wait a whole month to see what you've probably watched in a single weekend.

a direct comparison of pace isn't feasible, i bet it's still agonisingly slow from my perspective.

[The Storm]

I couldn't stand waiting any longer, its something I should have done a long time ago. I wasn't disappointed either!

[Odin's Lapdog]

see extra edited bit above cheater

[XwolverineX]

I lied, Hurley lives you fools.

[Odin's Lapdog]

again, who cares?

[The Storm]

Actually I have my brother to thank for it, coughpiratecough!

[Odin's Lapdog]

you're idea of the timing is stil going to be different than if you had to wait a week per ep.

[XwolverineX]

again, who cares?


You do.

[Odin's Lapdog]

just by chance i managed to catch episode 3 of the new season and missed out on the first two which i will have to watch on sunday...

very interesting considering but there does seem to be a lot of drama being built up over potentially nothing.

there's too much emphasis on suspense and it's supposed to make the viewer die to know what's going on but to be honest, i feel it's just as easily putting people off the show.

the show has a rewatchable factor in just knowing where all the early clues were planted in the show but on an enjoyment level, i think it's lacking. once the major suspense is relieved than all we are left with is a mild bunch of people living an unrealistic existence when threatened with a really bad crisis.

[Red X]

the first 2 were interesting to day the least.

[The Storm]

They were interesing I was expecting more though to be honest. I was a bit piffed at the constant flashbacks but I still enjoyed finding out what was in the hatch.

Has anyone seen the raft episode yet?

[Red X]

I saw all 3.

[XwolverineX]

Charlie dies, Henry kills 'im.

[Odin's Lapdog]

right, i managed to watch the first two episodes yesterday so it all kinda fits into what i watched in the third ep....

to be fair what's happened in the first three eps could have been summed up in one crazy packed open ep, it seems the flashbacks are really slowing the pace of the eps down but whatever at this point.

not keen on all the flashback and retelling of old pieces to encoporate story since it didn't happen in the first series at all but what can you do...


i Will ask this of those who like the show and have a keen eye.

did any of you in the 'Adrift ep' when sawyer and micheal were on the raft. There was a close up of the shark underwater swimming infront of the camera.

did you catch that it had a logo attached to its back fin, the same logo that is being worn by desmond?

i find this semi interesting and i'm not sure why none of you picked this up, kinda like the shark was genetically engineered or something.

personally i thought the shark wasn't even real, i thought it was a secret submarine until shots from michael caused it to draw blood.

saying this the blood didn't stain the water too much no did the shark show any signes of dismay so i feel it may be some sort of vessel stil and it may have hit someone within.


i'm also worried by the amount of food left in the storage part of desmond's little bit and there is no way there is enough room to sustain one person (let alone two for a considerably amount of time, bah.


also the chocolate bars were called apollo bars and there were pictures of a sun on desmond's wall. I wonder if that is the same picture that michael had drawn in the first series or maybe something walt would have done, my memory isn't sharp on details like that so i'm wondering if any of you guys had a better idea on this.

[The Storm]

I picked up the logo on the shark, I didn't post it as it was a spoiler. I also didn't think it was a shark until we saw blood, although I'm not too convinced it is. The flashbacks annoyed me quite a bit, we saw the whole Jack/Locke/Desmond sequence about twenty times! Questions about food will be answered in episodes soon.

[Odin's Lapdog]

it wasn't a spoiler, adrift was shown on the first night on terrestrial, all the uk peeps would have technically got to see it.

[The Storm]

I didn't realise, I couldn't remeber what episode it was. I'm sure we'll learn about the significance of the logo later on in the season.

[Odin's Lapdog]

aren't you watching them anymore on terrestrial?

[The Storm]

I keep forgetting when they are on, I enjoyed the series and being as my brother took the DVD off me I'm planning to watch them on TV. To refresh my memory and so I know exactly what everyone is talking about.

[Odin's Lapdog]

I do have to say although it was inevitable and completely obvious, it was great to see Bernard alive on the other side of the island.


JIN, MICHAEL and SAWYER are the dream team, far more interesting than sayeed locke, kate and jack.


they advertised that whole JIN talking in ENglish part so much, i thought it was going to be something HUUUGE but it ended up just being a dream sequence, blah

[The Storm]

I like the dynamic between Jin, Michael and Sawyer, it does make for an interesting watch. The situation brings Sawyer into the group where he wants/is used to being the loner/rebel. I think Locke and Jack are over used, especially Jack. I understand he is the leader but I find him quite boring and would rather see the spotlight shared out.

[~†~§iX~†~]

How many episodes are in series 1 and is it worth £30 on DVD?!......

[Odin's Lapdog]

I think Locke and Jack are over used, especially Jack. I understand he is the leader but I find him quite boring and would rather see the spotlight shared out.
jack is supposed to be the character the viewer associates with, the one with the least freaky background, the grounded one i suppose of the group, the show is through his eyes and he's trying to be the rational one, hence that's why he's in it so much, it's practically his show but because he needs to be grounded for a relative point of view, it means they can't really spread out his background that much.

all off the backflashes we've had of him, they have all been trying to re-emphasise the same point rather than give the character some more depth.

man of science, hates his father, blah blah blah....

[The Storm]

I understand that we are supposed to associate with him, but I still find him quite dull. I haven't found any of his flashbacks that interesting, I haven't learnt anything new from them.

[November Rain]

well the season has finished....

Hmm... i thought the ending was a little weak in comparison to the way the last season ended even though i wasn't too big a fan of that...

it was quite clear that the button had something to do with the plane crash landing originally i thought, although whether this is true or not, who knows....

I wasn't expecting micheal and his son to be left alone, i thought the boat would be blown up or something.

all in all, a lil meh...

it was a shame that we didn't get to see any flashbacks of elizabeth even though some new members like Eko got two to himself.

overall, the mystery of the programme has kinda gone down in this series and there is also less of an emphasis of anyone actually wanting to go anywhere and do anything...

it's gone a lil stale. let's see what they can do this time...with this series. Still a bit of a shame they spend a series introducing all these new members and they all end up dying within the duration of the series, meh...

[Bastila]

I liked season two more then one.
It had a lot more in it.
