anyone know how they might rerun them during the summer? A show like
this really needs to be played in order. Did they do Season 1 in order
last summer? I don't want to wait until the Season 2 DVD's come out. I
need to catch up. I missed the first 10 episodes too and I need my fix.


<img border="0" src="http://home.comcast.net/%7Ebob80/RFnetXMRonFez.jpg" />I
have every show up to Season 2 episode 9 (I'll have 10 and 11 some time
this weekend) zipped up in one nice file.  Instant message me at
"MSteels" (AIM or AOL) and I will file transfer all the shows over to
you.  Problem solved.  This offer goes to anyone that is
stuck missing episodes of season 2. Also, the quality is beautiful, I'd say a notch below DVD.

Without going into depth I'd like to express that my suspicions about "Lost" were pretty much clarified after tonight's episode. Lost
has turned into "The Sopranos" on a storyline aspect.  I hope I'm
wrong but I believe that this is what the show is turning into. 
Tonight after speaking to friends of both shows that observation seemed
to be the consensus of everyone.  Please let me be wrong on this
but I fear I'm on the button.

Weird.<img src="http://rfcop.50megs.com/images/rfpd.gif" border="0" /> Strong storylines that are neglected and eventaully dropped altogether without care and/or mention ever again.  This is what I SUSPECT will happen.   You asked for an example and I do not have one in particular but I'll explain.  What I was trying to convey was that I fear these storylines will end up being open ended without conclusion much so like the "The Sopranos".  I understand that is the nature of the show but this is too much.  Next to nothing is answered while several more questions arise with every new episode.   I hope I'm wrong but I feel like the writers may be the ones who are Lost.  I was kinda set off by the lackluster confrontation tonight.  For a moment I was THRILLED and like a sucker I thought to myself I was getting some answers.  Just a few, keep it real.  I was wrong and I'm dissapointed along with the few friends I spoke with tonight who share the same sentiments.  Several HUGE storylines going on and the show wastes all that time on Jack's most recent back story.  I LOVE the back story element of "Lost" but give me a break.  I guess "Filler" isn't just a radio term.

filler? did u not see the correlation between the hot italian chick and Kate? and ok..the confrontation was indeed lack luster, but...was it proof that Jack was right and there's not as many as we think? Those torches werent hand held.....were they? My question is if youre gonna build an army..wouldnt ya go to the Iraqi soldier and not the ex-lapd cop? but mike, youve gotta come up with an example if youre gonna try to make me even slightly mistrust these writers. Sopranos, ok. Theyve let us down repeatedly, but Lost? I'm on the edge of my seat every week. And ya gotta stay awake for the tie ins!!!

I think they leave some of the stories unanswered and then go back to them later.It becomes too predictable if you do them in order.2 things I git from last night and let me know if you agree :The Italian chick - wasnt she in some way tied to Desmond ? I seem to recall him showing a picture or Jack seeing a picture of her at some point.The " Other " that brought Kate out of the woods was named Alex.  Wasnt that the name of the French lady's kid ?

Chris the Cop is right.  You have to see the "tie-in" with the episode and the flashback.Turning into Sopranos' storylines?  Harldy.  The Sopranos have all of Northern New Jersey and NYC to spread their storylines - where some will get lost - just like real life.  Lost is on an island.  But those who tune in week after week to find answers will find nothing but disappointment.  It's a TV show - and this one will have a limited run.  3 maybe 4 seasons in it.  All, or at least most, will not be answered until the last shows of its run.  So don't go looking for them anytime soon - just enjoy the ride.

Remember how you felt at the end of the 1st Lord of The Rings movie?You said..wait...wtf? Theres so much still to be told..why are they ending it now (even after 3 hours)??!!But what did the writers do? They made you come back for part 2...and part 3.....what else did they do? They wrapped up their little story nicely, and you were happy you hung on to see it. It's like that, but its free. AND you dont have to wait a year til the next episode!This is a great show, ESPECIALLY for network tv. Enjoy.As for why doesnt Locke scream to everyone that he can walk? Same reason the fat guy doesnt tell everyone he's rich. Peopel will treat him differently. OR maybe he's afraid if he says it, itll go away. And the fact that Walt's a very special boy was JUST mentioned again this week...I'm sure theyre not gonna Soprano out on us and not tell us why he's so special, or why baby Aaron is so special. Or where the guy ran off to in the woods. This show is NOT the Sopranos. Itll pay off. It wont forget ya. Enjoy.

Well that's certainly the most comprehensive theory i've heard yet.  I have to agree with you thought, i'm not too crazy about it.  I'm still hoping it's a spiritual story and they're all actually already dead and sorting out things before they go on to their respective afterlives.

"but mike, youve gotta come up with an example if youre gonna try to make me even slightly mistrust these writers. Sopranos, ok. Theyve let us down repeatedly, but Lost? I'm on the edge of my seat every week. And ya gotta stay awake for the tie ins!!!"

Chris, I explained that I had no concrete examples because there still is time for me to be wrong (this is what I'm hoping for). Remember what I posted originally (below).

"You asked for an example and I do not have one in particular but I'll explain. What I was trying to convey was that I fear these storylines will end up being open ended without conclusion much so like the "The Sopranos". I understand that is the nature of the show but this is too much. Next to nothing is answered while several more questions arise with every new episode."

I FEAR and SUSPECT that SOME of these storylines will either be conveniently forgotten about or wrapped up with less than proper conclusions. It is too early to find any validity into these suspicions but I think I have grounds to fairly make them.

Lost is my favorite show EVER, it is brilliant. I am merely nervous and don't want to see this follow the same path as The Sopranos.

Remember one thing people. This early into the Sopranos (mid way through 2nd season) run we all thought that EVENTUALLY we'd get some answers to storylines that either never came or were discarded by inadequate answers (or excuses to just move on).

I remember seeing promos for this show last and thinking cool non-reality TV. This would be the first show in years that i would make a point of checking out and reading all the buzz, I seem to recall AICN giving it a big push before it aired. Anyway my point is I seem to recall reading somewhere that Terry O quinn (Locke)was only supposed to be on the show for a short while according to what I read. Anyone else recall this or am I just way off base here?

quote: Why do you suppose Locke kept the statues as opposed to destroying them ? It also appeared as though he was changing the locks ( ha ha ) on that door no ?  Locke was changing the combination on the Gun Room. He had just changed it before a couple episodes back because of the tailies joining their group (even though there are only 4 of them, so they totally trusted all 40+ people in their camp?)Anyway my point is I seem to recall reading somewhere that Terry O quinn (Locke)was only supposed to be on the show for a short while according to what I read. Anyone else recall this or am I just way off base here? Matthew Fox (Jack) was supposed to die in the pilot. They changed that death to the Plane's pilot and kept Jack on the show. I guess they originally wanted to pull a "Pyscho" and have the main character die early on to shake things up (The woman who is the center of the story dies in the shower with only half the movie finished). But the suits thought it would be better to keep Jack on the show.

How did she die in the shower? Heart attack? Water allergy? Do tell..Anywho...ok, this weeks episode wasnt full of excitement, but it did set up a few things (and yes, i believe the new questions will be answered!)Notice that the baptism was performed when Locke was working, and didnt know it ws happening. He has a connection to the island (good or bad), and I dont think he's gonna be happy it was done.Those statues were indeed saved...dont forget Eko the "priest" is actually tied to them as a drug runner. Not to mention what happens if Charlie finds them, or if Locke uses them to control Charlie.I havent read the new theory, but I will right now. The 1st season, I thought it was pretty clear that they were in pergatory, but now I'm not so sure...altho I still lean that way.

That Psycho chick had it coming as most accidents happen in the bathroom or something like that.I thought most people connected with the show have dismissed any afterlife stories.Not that they'd actually tell us.I dont think Locke was anti-Baptisim.I think he's just not a very religious man so does think about it as meaning anything.

That is a fantastic theory and I hope it is true!  I figured it was some kind of experiment... but I do feel that the island is floating... maybe being navigated somehow.  I never bought that whole pergatory slant.  That would be an easy cop-out.

While I think the theory is well thought out, especially with a lot of tie ins regarding the science of it I do disagree with the black smoke being each person's fear.Why are we to belive that Locke saw anythinh other than a plume of smoke ?Plus we know Eko saw pics of his past and not really anything he feared.How does the pilot getting killed in the first epsiode figure into the equation ?I dont buy the whole thing.

Anyone think it was odd/interesting/funny that Hurley was Jesus in Charlie's dream?  Maybe he will be the savior in the end...not likely...but anyways my real question is doesn't anyone else think we shouldn't worry about questions being unanswered considering they came back to the plane full of drug running priests all the way in the middle of the 2nd season with the Eko episode?  I have a feeling like the writers are much more meticulous and nerdy than say that of the Sopranos and they do very little for no reason.also they're really sexing up Claire which is awesome.

My feeling on some of this is as follows:1.  They are experiencing something similar to the Philidelphia Experiment where they may not be on the "usual" plane of existence.  Somehow the powerful magnetic field has caused this.2.  Or they have been cyrogenically frozen during periods on the island.  For instance Libby talking about how the washer and dryer just looked so much newer then the other stuff. (yeah this one is a stretch)I definetly thing something to do with the EMF near the hatch has done somethings.And the Locke thing in the statues could be some shadowing of his coming evil turn.  Sort of like Locke turning his back on religion and locking it away from ever getting out?Who knows i am pretty stupid

Back to what I had said about Locke turning bad they totally took that way out of context in the clips from a few weeks ago. As fars as him being " anti-Baptism " or " anti-God " how would that explain his unwillingness to " break 7 Virgin Marys " ?He's just a strange bird and everytime Jack fights with him I think Jack becomes more of a douche.I didnt really enjoy the episode outside of more on Sawyer's background. The Sawyer turning " bad " thing was kinda lame.I didnt catch it but somebody at work said that the waitress that served Sawyer's buddy the sandwich was kate's mom.

GREAT episode last night.  I loved it.  The Sawyer-Charlie pairing was fantastic.Two books were featured last night:<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0874068134/qid=1139501264/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-0321578-1052010?s=books&v=glance&n=283155" target="_blank">An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge</a> Locke was looking through this one, which was also a Twillight Zone episode.And the manuscript Hurley was reading:<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401302769/sr=8-1/qid=1139500969/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-0321578-1052010?%5Fencoding=UTF8" target="_blank">Bad Twin</a>Hurley had the best line - "Hey dude, you gonna put the lime in the coconut and drink it up?"Love that guy.

Sayid said that the short wave radio waves bounce off the ionosphere, traveling thousands of miles, "They could come from anywhere."And Hurley said "Or any time"."Just kidding dude."I think that was a well placed line to shake up any of the "time traveling" theories... and that's not the direction the creators are going.

They had a couple things last week as well: 1) Libby was talking to Hurley about why the Washer/Dryer were so new while the other stuff in the hatch was so much older. 2) Charlie mentioned the fact that Kate saw a horse, and a bunch of people are seeing Walt, this might be a response to people pointing out that it seemed the Lost-aways didn't seem to talk to each other about the weird stuff that was going on. Of course they were talking, the show just didn't waste time repeating information on screen.Edit:I was eating during my posting this message and didn't see it was already said...

Can you try and E-mail me again?

MSteels@aol.com

I received your E-mails fine but it seems you don't get mine.

Yes, it worked and I wrote to you how much I appreciated your time and effort. I just had a few questions if you don't mind that I'd like to continue more privately.

Off the subject the show is starting to go downhill (last 4 episodes) in my opinion (with exception of the Eko back-story). However, I am in for the duration of at least this season because after the first 32 episodes (Season 1 and beginning of Season 2) I felt it was easily the greatest and most entertaining show I had EVER come across in my life. I really want to be wrong but even all the people (about 10 now in my everyday life) that have become hooked on the DVD's I made all seem to agree the show started to seriously slip about 4 episodes ago. All of these people felt the same way I did in that the first 32 episodes were just fantastically compelling.

The bad thing about message boards is that the subject (Lost for example) discussed is usually frequented by big fans of the show or they wouldn't bother. This is a big problem with me cause on a variety of message board "subjects" I have found people loyal to a point of complete blindness and/or denial. I shouldn't care but I guess I never liked when people just pretended everything was OK when it obviously wasn't. ESPECIALLY when a product was formerly great. What I'm trying to say is that if (I HOPE NOT!!!!!) this trend continues and Lost just starts to go haywire with the dropped story lines and the overall bland content I can see people defending the show no matter how bad it will get. I hope that doesn't happen.

What brought us all to be such huge fans wasn't the rubbish of the last 4 episodes it was the brilliance of that first 31.

Here's hoping they turn this around pronto. Maybe we'll just look back and say this was just a short run of bad episodes.

I just can't shake the feeling that this great show may have lost much steam so early in its run.

"Twin Peaks" was literally a phenomenon in 1990. It was one of the biggest and most intriguing shows to hit television ever. It was BIGGER than "Lost" is today and halfway through it's second season the writing became terribly bizarre and the story lines were so "out there" and "over the top" that by that second season's end "Twin Peaks" was canceled.

Will this happen to Lost? No, I'm not saying that but I though they had enough similarities to warrant a mention.

One second a nation was in love with this show and it seemed like the next moment it was a joke due to the writing and story lines. Ironically it was the brilliant writing and story lines that was its claim to super stardom in the first place!

Doctor Manhattan

02-13-2006, 04:43 AM

I'll try eMailing you again...I know what you mean, The first few shows of this season are really just the continuation of the end of last season (Exodus 1 and 2) and then the introduction of the Tailies was good because it was something new. The last few shows since the Tailies made it to the main cabin's camp(s) haven't been very good (The 23rd Psalm was great, but that was because of Mr. Eko as you mentioned)I'm sure this is because they only have so much of the "Mythology" left and they have to pace themselves since the show's a hit, they weren't thinking like that during the 1st part of the 1st season. They show is better when you mix Character delevopment with the crazy shit that goes on on the island.I'm pretty sure the show will pick up again soon, they are starting a division between the people of Flight 815: "Jack's Army" vs "Locke's Button pushers" I'm hoping there is stuff in these past 4-5 episodes that will mean more than we thought when we first saw them once other things come to light.

Furtherman

02-16-2006, 08:14 AM

I always hear people complaining about their TiVOs cutting off shows.  Is it even worth it to get one?  My VCR never cuts off shows.  Record 10 minutes before the show until 10 minutes after.The US Commander (played by the great Clancy Brown) told spoke to him, in Iraqi, that sometimes you will have to do what you have to do and that he'll do things he never thought he could.  Something along those lines.  Then he gave him about $1000 in US money.Then he sides up with Charlie.  He reminds Charlie that he was left hanging in the jungle to die by The Others, and that Jack has forgotten.

fezident

02-16-2006, 08:20 AM

Getting a TiVo IS totally worth it.It very rarely cuts off a recording.  I've had mine for a year or so and it's only happened, like, 3 times.  Two of those times have been the tail end of LOST (no pun intended).In fact...the other day...we had a black out here in my building.  Only lasted 10 secs.  My TiVo powered back up...rebooted...and went right back to recording the two shows it was recording before the blackout.  Kick Ass. PS:  Thanks for the recap!

JustJon

02-16-2006, 09:38 AM

Lost actually ran an extra couple minutes last night.  I noticed it on my tivo that is said Invasion started at 10:03.  But if a show has a tendency to start early/end late, you can adjust your season pass to compensate. And I was expecting some big revelation when the timer hit 0.  Was kind of a let down to see the symbols then Locke resetting it.

King Imp

02-16-2006, 10:52 AM

What is everyone's feelings on the ongoing Jack-Locke battle? I personally like them both (Locke a little more), but lately Jack has been getting on my nerves with his "my way or the highway" attitude. Locke said it perfectly last night how Jack is all set to build an army and go to war, but he can't stomach what Sayid was doing. It's a part of war and sometimes needs to be done, but just because Jack doesn't condone it, then it can't be done because it wasn't his idea. Heaven forbid anyone has an idea besides Jack. I liked it so much better when they were working together and even though they had different beliefs, they realized they needed each other. Now, Jack is all "I don't need anyone and we're doing it my way" all the time. Quite annoying to say the least.

fezident

02-16-2006, 11:02 AM

I love that power struggle between Locke and Jack.Every single time somebody on that island sees something strange or needs help or advice, the first thing they say is "GO GET JACK!" or "WHERE IS JACK?!" or something.  Now, Jack is starting to accept that and own it.  Jacks change in attitude seems very organic to me.Locke started out with a purpose on the island.  He was the hunter/gatherer AND the mysterious weirdo yoda.  HE was the one searching out the monsters and the boars (food) and he was obsessed with opening the hatch.  Now that everyone has kinda settled in on the beach.....they don't seem to need him quite as much.  So now, he's kinda fighting to get it back.  Being defiant and passive/aggressive.  I love that angle.

I felt it was a really mediocre episode, but the last monolog from Henry as he was pouring the cereal was just awesome.  Now, I'm on edge to see what happens to Ana Lucia, Charlie and Sayed next week.

Did Anyone else expect that those thugs were going to break Locke's legs?

He's usually seen walking around in his Flashbacks and on the Island!

I love Lost's fans and I guess I also have to give props to DVRs and Tivos. You are pausing and pausing to catch everything. Last week's episode was killer and again it was about conning and misdirection. I loved sawyer, the con of all cons, getting bested by Jack. I felt sorry for Hurley, who's worse off than even a sidekick. And John Locke, oh boy. I wondered how he could have Katey Segal (who's looking many times hotter than in her "Married...With Chidren" days and even her "Futurama" days!) and before that fateful flight, he was pathetic, alone and crippled. He could have had a decent life, but then he wouldn't be on the island. I also think that the hooker he taked to before he went on the flight was named Helen as well. I guess he was so obsessed over losing helen that he found a hooker with the same name.   And did anyone get a screencap of the plane that passed over the motel? I swear it said dharma. It could have even been the planes that dropped these Dharma balloons. There had to be some significance because two of the same planes passed over and two balloons were found on the island. This is going to be a great few episodes coming up. I just wonder if this mysterious new guy is a villain, will become a villain or will be faithful to the survivors- only to get killed.

There had to be some significance because two of the same planes passed over and two balloons were found on the island.  The Hooker probably wasn't really named "Helen" but Locke would have asked her to use that name (They mentioned this on the offical podcast a couple weeks back)The Plane looked like an Oceanic Airlines plane to me. And the motel was near the airport (which is why it was so low) the name of the Hotel was "Flight Lane Inn" or something like that. I don't think there was much significance to the planes in the Flashback (Other that it's the same fake airline as Flight 815) If the Food was dropped by Plane, I would imagine it was some kind of cargo plane (and must have been really high up since no one seemed to hear a plane) I guess if there is something about the Island that makes things go toward it (Flight 815, The Black Rock, The Real Henry Gale's Ballon) it would be easy to drop stuff on the island, you don't even have to aim!

The island is definitely part of some kind of Bermuda Triangle. All we have to know is why the island needs fresh meat to live there. And I was thinking that since they found the balloons, all that's left is to find a way to make the shit fly, right? There is the little issue of finding where the fuck Michael and Walt are, and what magical bad luck powers Walt may have. I also wonder if The Others are against anyone leaving the island and if they are agents for a bigger boss or if they're just GI Joes that got stuck there 20 years ago. Michelle Rodriguez rocks! Take that!

Definitely the front runner for "The Others" lab. Also, and because I'm a gigantic nerd. here are teh translations of the Latin phrases on the door:



Sursum Corda - (Roman Catholic
Church) a Latin versicle meaning `lift up your hearts'. <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/versicle">versicle</a> - a short
verse said or sung by a priest or minister in public worship and followed by a
response from the congregation

Possible Alt Meaning
- Sursum Corda Cooperative is a small neighborhood located in Washington, DC, bounded by North Capitol Street on the east,
First Street <a href="http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Washington+DC+%28northwest%29">NW</a> to the west, <a href="http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/K+Street+%28Washington,+DC%29">K Street</a> NW to the
south, and M Street NW to the north. It consists of 199 housing units
constructed as an experiment in cooperatively managed low-income housing in <a href="http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/1968">1968</a>. Managed by the District of Columbia
Housing Authority, it became a notorious open air drug market plagued by
violence and poverty in the <a href="http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/1980s">1980s</a>. In <a href="http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/2005">2005</a> the District of Columbia offered to purchase the
complex as part of its "New Communities" plan for neighborhood
rehabilitation.

Malum Consilium Quod
Mutari Non Potest - "It's a bad
plan that can't be changed."

Cogito Ergo Doteo – No translation found, although Cogito Ergo DOLEO means “I think therefore
I am depressed.”

Nil Actum Reputa Si Quid Superest Agendum - "Don't consider that anything has been done
if anything is left to be done."

Ut Sit Magna, Tamen Certe Lenta Ira Decorum
Est - "The wrath of
the gods may be great, but
it certainly is slow."

Liberte Te Ex Inferus – No translation found, although Liberte Te Ex INFERIS means “Save
yourself from Hell.”

Credo Nos In Fluctu Eoden Es – No Translation found. Credo Nos In Fluctu<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Credo+Nos+In+Fluctu+Eodem+Es&spell=1"></a> EODEM Es means,
“I think we’re on the same wavelength.”

Hic Sunt Dragones – "Here be dragons." Roughly translated. 

It also says
something about adapting Ursus Maritimus for warm climates using gene therapy.
Ursus Maritimus are Polar Bears, for those unawares. The Latin phrases I got were transcribed on the pic that Jezo posted, so the errors could be in

Wait, didn't they Hurley give all the food away during that Beach Feast (in Everyone Hates Hugo)   I know he hid some from the rest of flight 815 survivors and they just got a shipment last week, but between then and now haven't they been eating Dharma food? Henry Gale was eating their breakfast cereal a couple episodes back and hasn't there been other people beside's Hurley with Dharma food after the beach feast?

IamFogHat

04-05-2006, 05:32 PM

He gave away most of it but then Sawyer found him with his stash a few episodes ago.Is Hurley talking about Colonopin?  That's very heavy meds if he is.  He keeps mispronouncing it, which I guess is supposed to be funny and all, but if we know what he's on we'll know why he's supposedly crazy.

i have to agree with every thing said about last ep, hurley destroying the food was great and all for his 'self' or whatever...but hello??  you're on a fucking island with other people you cunt!  yeah...but about the last two minutes, i argued with my brother, who now refuses to watch lost, convinced it's the insane asylum theory, and i realized he was totally right.  so now i'm totally intrigued how they'll dig themselves out of this shit, with that chick being in there after making us think that the whole 'insane asylum thing' was a red herring.  i mean, where the fuck do they go from here?whatever, i'm sure they'll amaze us next week, or whenever they come back on the air. 0h shit, i forgot, does anyone know how much more is left in this season?  i was hopiong that this show would be as amazing as it was for only one more season (3 seasons total) and after that it would become rediculous (because abc would be trying to pump as much cash out of it as they could, which i've heard more than anything else the cast/crew has no intention of doing, and they sincerely only want this to be an artistic, historic, landmark project  that everyone can walk away happy from)so my question is, how much do they have left in this season, and how much do they have to wrap up before going on to the third and hopefully final season

Kate wonders if they can hear him.Kate says she's sorry she kissed him, Jack says "I'm not"They hear someone coming up to them, they see a torch, Jack pulls out his gun.It turns out to be an exhausted Michael (who seems to have passed out before saying a word) and they cut to the Title Card:<img src="http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/4867/lostlogo8ta.jpg" border="0" /> With every passing episode I find Ana Lucia to be hotter and hotter.

a couple notes from the end of the show: the paper locke draws the map on is a book in french, Alfred de Musset’s Poesies Nouvelles. to me that suggests someone spent time in the hatch that could read french, and so far there's only one of those on the island, so maybe rousseau has some connection to it also, whats up with michaels face when they turn him over? maybe its just dirt and shit from falling, but he almost looks like a leper

It seems to me at least that a pattern is developing, I could just be Capt. obvious.Most people on the Island don't have any connection to the real world anymore and If they do they dont want to go back.Locke and Rose were both cured by the islandKate is a wanted criminal as well might be SawyerAnna might be a disgraced cop back home?Sun and Jin were in an unhappy marriage due to outside meddling from Sun's father, why go back to that.Hurleys good fortune has brought him and his family bad luck from the get go. Him not returning would spare his family and freinds any more misfortuneCant figure out Charlie, Sayid or Mr Ecko yetAny thoughts?

It really wasn't a crazy choice to pick the jail time. In all likelihood, she'll only serve half of the 5 days. Two and half days is pretty damn easy compared to the community service. It takes a lot of time and scheduling to do community service, which could be very hard on her acting career.

I totally didn't see it coming at all. Have to give the writers a lot of credit for that, they really put out a good episode. 

My only question is if the others are so good, how come they keep killing people? And if Michael is working for the others, why didn't he waste Henry? After all, Henry did say they didn't like failure, and he was feeling talky.

I blame Hurley if Libby dies. He's been on the island for how long and he doesn't know how to get to makeout-beach? Also, if she dies, that means that the whole tease about how they know each other a few weeks back has nothing happening with it.

 
I just thought of it though, if she does die, that was great foreshadowing to have Hurley talk to Sayid about where to take his girlfriend.

Doctor Manhattan

05-04-2006, 04:59 AM

Because Michael shot himself in the arm, to make it look like Henry killed Ana-Lucia and Libby and then escaped.So did they really kill them off because of the DUIs? That is really gay. But to have them both die within 15 seconds makes it really hard to say that was part of the plan before they got arrested in real life. Disney sucks!

booster11373

While Ana is definitely dead my guess is Libby is not, She was probably carrying something that slowed or stopped the bullets between the blankets she was holding, It seemed that she was holding them very oddly.

BeerBandit

Not that too much in this show has made logical sense, but it seems ludicrous to show Libby in the mental hospital with Hurley one week, then kill her off the next.  She's not dead.

Doctor Manhattan

Doesn't make much sense, but if Libby is alive then wouldn't she tell people that Michael shot her? How is Michael going to get them to the Others' base/hatch if they know he shot Libby and Ana-Lucia (and then shot himself in the arm)

I was just going to say the same thing Doctor. But she could be unconcious and/or critical condition long enough to give him time to get his plan done.First of all, no one yet mentioned Ana Lucia and freaking Jack's dad! Jack now will never know...and how they bumped into Sawyer was interesting too, I forgot him and Jack's dad were in the bar together.As for Ana's conversation with Henry, i was confused too but I think he was referring to the 'Others' that she killed. That's why he tried to kill her. I think like Henry said they pick out the "GOOD" survivors to keep for their own and now their plan is to kill all the TAIL people.Remember they showed Eko falling in the previews? I think they want revenge for the dead Others. Also, I can't get over how much Henry got into Locke's head. He's disappointing me. I'm reserving judgement until the season is over but I hope this isn't trying to make up for a season of new mysteries (like the map, will Locke remember it to get them somewhere before the finale?) I just need a FEW things tied up to be happy.And poor Hurley, it's his fault she got shot since he didn't even think of blankets. Is he going to go binge now?

Ana Lucia and Libby were supposed to be shot before the DUIs occurred, according to an interview on Ask Auriello on tvguide.com. AICN also has the tvguide blurbs for the last 4 eps.  I'm really interested in seeing that flashback in the two hour finale.

I think Henry's point was that Goodwin or whomever thought Ana could reformed of her killing ways, and that she was still good inside, but her killing Goodwin sort of put that out of reach. The irony is that by repenting and finally controlling her insatiable rage, she ends up dying. That seems to be a theme with the show though, as soon as people get over the hump, they get wasted. Another is the old horror cliche of illicit sex = instakill. Apparently, girls getting it on enrages the Jason Voorhees-like island.

This sort of got lost in the shuffle last night, but I think it's Jack, but it's not a twin. If you listened in on his dad's conversation with that girl, he was asking to see someone in that house, and he was saying he had a right to see him.

It did sound like jack's dad said " I want to see her " but that happened shortly before the plane crashed so I doubt Jack's half-sister would be anybody on the island.Unless whoever he was looking for wanst a child and maybe he had an affair with that lady years ago producing an older child.Maybe he knocked up Claire and Aaron is his kid in some wierd way.I'm glad they killed that blonde chick. The whole Hurely's in love thing is way lame. That girl stuck on that island would go through any of the 20other guys before she decided to go w/ Hurley. She might even go lesbo before him. I just find it to be too corny and for a show thats show sharp they dont need that.Who where the 2 that Henry accused Ana of killing ?One was the guy that she kicked and he landed on the spike ( cant remember his name ) but who was the other ?

Don Stugots

05-06-2006, 09:37 AM

here is a theory: they are all dead, then the reason someone "dies" on the island right after they make peace with themselves is because the island is pergatory and making amends with their soul prepares them to go over to the "heaven." which also explains why they are healed of their alments that they suffered from while "alive". the others are either, people that havent made peace with their sins, or might not ever, so they created their own society.

i know it sounds lame, but at the sametime it sounds accurate.

The producers swear they're not all dead. And there are exceptions to that theory - like Boone and Shanshan. 
Another thing I was just thinking about is that it's pretty safe to say that Henry didn't put the numbers in and probably did "something" else to get the blast door map to show up, because he was trying to recruit Locke to become one of t he others.

blakjeezis

05-06-2006, 10:17 AM

show thats show sharp Say that three times fast.For the "peace with their sins/moving on" angle to work, Libby would have to not be dead. All we know of her is that she was in a mental hospital and that she may or may not be a shrink. Her journey, in that regard, is far from over. Plus she's really fucking hot. I think she may have outpaced Evangeline Lilly as hottest chick on the show. I know that sounds, as a certain Mr. B would say, like crazy talk, but she really does scratch me in that hard to reach place, and by that I mean my taint. Anyways, it would make more sense for Hurley to have been the one who snuffed it, what with him hashing out his food addiction and what have you. And wouldn't Bernard and Rose have bought it a couple of episodes back?The format that I watch the show in doesn't give me the preview, so at first I thought Michael also killed himself which really threw me for a loop, but then I realised that he only maimed himself to work the escaping Henry gimmick. I'm really digging that angle, to be honest. Him setting up the attack and leading them into a trap and the whole bit; I'm grooving to it. I just hope they don't kill off Mr. Eko. I can't see them actually showing the death of a character in the preview, but, one never knows I guess."My name is Meestah Eko." I'm into it in a big, big way, to coin a phrase.

The statement Locke said to Ana Lucia when she was running back to her camp.  And that guy who was in the hatch said it to Jack in his flashback.   "Running like the devil's chasing you."   I've been watching previous episodes just to try and put everything together.

That is her, at least that is a picture I found when I did a Google Image search for "V for Vendetta" I don't know where it's from, it might be a head-swap fake. I added it along with the other Vendetta images in my rotation...Desmond ran off a long time ago on the show. The guys on the offical pod cast (Damon L and Carton C) said he would return before the end of the season.

Apparently Libby is dead/going to die. I guess the actress is going to do another show, but I'm not sure whether she's already dead or they're going to kill her by the end of the season. I hope she lives long enough to fulfill my fantasy of having a Lost coma wedding with Hurley. Maybe they can construct a life-support machine out of coconuts.

Does anyone else listen to the offical podcast? Executive Producers Damon Lindleof and Carlton Cuse discuss the last week's and upcoming episodes. I think they aren't too bad, but they need to drop the interview portion* before DL and CC start their thing. They also need to drop the announcer who is trying way too hard to be funny.* a few months ago they had a segment on the score/music of Lost. That was good, the interviews with the cast SUCK!

Kick ass!The Hanso Foundation is now paying for commercial time on ABC.  The commercial looks very authentic.  Anyone who doesn't watch LOST would absolutely think these commercials were for a real company that wants to "make your life better".   Very cool.  EDIT:The TV ad can be seen on the official Hanso website.<a href="http://www.thehansofoundation.org/">http://www.thehansofoundation.org/</a>

It's amazing that they fired Lloyd Braun for allowing them to spend 12 million on the pilot. Those scum bags didn't see what a great move he made for them. Now they are making TONS of money on his idea!If you listen to the offical podcast you may recognize the voice of the annoucer in the Hanzo Ad: Carlton Cuse!

For some reason I'm more excited about tonight's episode ? than any other so far this year (except the first one, of course)* It's called ? but some TV systems will probably call it Question Mark if they can't deal with the symbol ?. BTW Why can't Windows deal with ? for file names?

the new Lost Experience thing isnt exactly an online game-as evidenced by newspaper ads and television commercials-it's considered an alternate reality game, and i'm getting way sucked in. started by reading bad twin, now i'm on multiple message boards that are tracking all the updates and new clues that come along. the trickiest part, so far, has been distinguishing fake fan-made sites from the real ones associated with the game.from wiki: An alternate reality game is a <a title="Multimedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia">cross media</a> <a title="Game" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game">game</a>
that deliberately blurs the line between the in-game and out-of-game
experiences, often being used as a marketing tool for a product or
service. While games may primarily be centered around online resources,
often events that happen inside plotline may be provided to the players
in almost any form, some of those used have been:
 <ul><li><a title="E-mail" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail">e-mail</a></li><li>websites, both those obviously connected with the game and those
innocent looking - often where the bulk of the game lies, these sites
provide puzzles in many forms, e.g. <a title="Cryptography" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography">cryptography</a></li><li>phone calls to a player's home, cell or work phone</li><li>land <a title="Mail" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail">mail</a></li><li>newspaper articles or classifieds</li><li><a title="Chat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chat">chat</a>/<a title="Instant messaging" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging">Instant messaging</a> and so on - the games have been known to initiate conversation</li><li><a title="Internet relay chat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_relay_chat">IRC</a> channels</li><li>real world <a title="Cultural artifact" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_artifact">artifacts</a> related to the game in play</li><li>real world <a title="Events" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Events">events</a> utilizing actors who interact with the players who attend</li></ul>
These games always have a specific goal of not only involving the
player with the story and/or fictional characters but of connecting
them to each other. Many game puzzles can be solved only by the
collective and collaborative efforts of multiple players.
Alternate reality games are usually earmarked by a large
game-reality in the form of multiple websites, all of which take
themselves as being totally real. In fact, sometimes it is difficult to
tell if a website is fictional or not. These websites form the
foundation of the game's universe, and are usually the primary
storytelling vehicle, although the various media listed above will be
used as well, creating a situation where the game's alternate reality
and the real world collide.
Important to alternate reality games is the concept of "this is not
a game." To be most effective, these games don't advertise themselves
as such, and never really admit to being a game at all. The mystery of
what's going on and who is behind it all is a major factor, as is the
general thrill of discovery (one website leads to another, and another,
etc.) for the players. 

 edit: if there's enough people playing or following along it might warrant its own thread seperate from Lost show discussion.

There is already a separate thread just waiting for a young go-getter to perk it up, to put it in L'il Jimmy's words. 
According to the podcast, the season finale is going to be *really* shocking. The big revelation better not be that Kate is really working for the others. I expect that, but then something bigger.

Ana Lucia was going to be killed off, but killing off Libby does make it look like they reacted to the DUI.

what a blast this episode was.  locke and eko are my favorite characters, so this was double-plus good for me.  i really want to know what the hell that bright flash was at the end of next weeks promo, something bright enough for basically all the cast to turn and look.oh, and my little theory about someone having a twin on the show?radio psychic, radio psychic: that twin will be revealed next week.  not 100% certain about this, but close enough

I just think Michael's going to crack and 'fess up. It looked he could barely keep it together, especially when he was talking to Hurley. And how come nobody seems suspicious that the one word that Libby tried to get out was "Michael." I also wonder what will happen when they do find out about Michael. Maybe Hurley will sit on him.

So was he lying to Claire (he did refuse to take money from her, and he purchased the ticket on Flight 815 for her. This could all just be part of Hanzo/Dharma's plan) or was he lying to Eko?I wonder if they set it up with the actors to make sure they can come back to reprise roles (Locke/Hurley's boss at the box factory/Chicken shack, Claire's psychic, Michael's wife, Clancy Brown as the American soldier who taught Sayid to torture HINT, HINT)

But I don't think they are going to go with the "Flight 815 just crashed and these people's paths just happened to cross again and again" angle.I can't wait for Season 7 of Lost, that will be the Zombie season!

I know, but I'm saying I thought it was sort of bogus that Jack jumped to that conclusion so quickly. Why would she focus on Michael? She barely knows him. She had spent more time with Ana Lucia and had seen her shot too. 
I couldn't tell if Hurley was more wise to why she might have been saying "Michael" or if he was just reacting to the fact that his girlfriend was in her death thralls.
