"Lost" on ABC (Season 1)

[Bach]

I got hooked on "Lost" from the first episode. Any other regular viewers here?

It's a nice break from the usual garbage on TV these days. Very compelling drama.

[Rhps81]

I'm a fan of lost also. I've seen every episode except the one when they did Kate's flashback. And it figures that with the episodes they are re-showing until the New Year, that is one they are NOT showing. Oh well.

[slap happy]

huge fan here. the only episode i missed was the Locke flashback. Im amazed that such a great show is being produced by network tv.

[Boratfan]

Hardcore fan here. There is ONE common theme amongst ALL the survivors of the flight, who are still alive on the island. All are good people who have a checkered past but now have a chance to redeem themselves.

[Bach]

huge fan here. the only episode i missed was the Locke flashback. Im amazed that such a great show is being produced by network tv.
They ran the Locke flashback this past week. It was very interesting, and a twist I didn't expect. Hesitant to post it here so I don't roon it for anyone that taped it, but if you want to know, just holler.

[blackout-]

it is a alright, but nothing compared to j.j. abrams other show - alias, which owns.

[Bach]

Lost is the first show since E.R. that has been able to captivate me from episode one. That's such a rarity with today's watered-down, abysmal brand of television. I'm looking forward to Sawyer getting his ass kicked again, and also wouldn't be opposed to seeing Shannon WOW. (OK, wishful thinking.)

[slap happy]

hey Bach thanks but i all ready know the twist with Locke, my brother in law filled me in on the episode. I cant believe they re aired it and I missed it a second time, d oh. I would liked to see an issue of Playboy with the girls of Lost. A guy can dream.

also to keep this thread going who is everyones favorite character? I would go with Sawyer. What a great scum bag.

[Bach]

Sawyer is the quintessential scumbag, indeed. He plays it well too. I'm not going to say Jack is my favorite just because he's the main character/hero. I kind of like Charlie and was glad they didn't kill him off. I thought it was great the way he chose his guitar over his drugs, when Locke was helping him detox. I have alot of respect for anyone that has that much passion for music.

[Boratfan]

Sawyer is slowly starting to become a hero. He became everything he hated(con artist) and he now has the chance to redeem himself. Lost seems to play out like a book, and to me is the most captivating new drama since 24 premiered.

[Hudson]

I saw the first episode and really liked it. Unfortunately I have to work when it is on and my VCR was stolen from the Firehouse by some lameass with no taste... they took the VCR and left the xbox and Dvd player I had there

[Bach]

I wouldn't mind seeing them delve deeper into characters such as the black guy and his son, and the brother of the hot chick. They seem very vestigial thus far.

[Boratfan]

EVERY main character will be delved into. I hear that Hurley(Fat Guy) will be dealt with last.

[Bach]

Is there a new episode on tomorrow night or is it a repeat?

[roche]

Is there a new episode on tomorrow night or is it a repeat?
Repeat. Next new one is on 01/05/05

[Bach]

Thanks. Looking forward to the next new one and finding out what happens to the pregnant girl. They do a great job with cliffhangers on this show -- almost as good as O&A. ;)

[IfYouSeeKay]

I'm still wondering who/what Ethan is. Connected to the French woman in some way?

[Bach]

I'm still wondering who/what Ethan is. Connected to the French woman in some way?
Good question. Not really sure. The French woman was supposedly there for 16 years, according to Sayid. So let's say she was a young adult when she got there -- 30 perhaps. She'd be 46 now, dead or alive. Now if Ethan arrived with the French woman, it's a reasonable assumption that they'd be contemporaries in age, give or take a few years. No way he's 46 now, based on his appearance. I'm thinking the French woman's message might be a false lead, but Ethan did arrive there through another means, after the French woman a-lleg-edly got there. Of course this is just complete speculation, but it's fun to do so with shows like this. Any other theories?

[bossdjbware]

My first thought was, they are all in purgatory or limbo. There are just too many questions to be answered.
I had missed the first two episodes until the recent recaps. I can't figure out how the hell they can explain a polar bear in the South Pacific.

I've gone back and fourth but my theory is, they're all dead.

I was kind of pissed that Charlie survived the lynching. I thought it made great television when they turned the corner and he was just hanging, lifeless. I felt was a little cliche that Jack brought him back to life, but they did it well.
Nevertheless, it's still a great show and I will be there until the end.

[blackout-]

wasn't that ethan guy going to take her on a boat ride?

*splash* vvrrroOOOOMMMMMM.

[roche]

Lost sort of reminds me of that King book The Langoliers so I have always assumed they were in some fucked up dimension.

[NJisSexiest]

never saw the show.. actually never even heard of it. what is it about?

[bossdjbware]

never saw the show.. actually never even heard of it. what is it about?

A plane crash in the middle of the South Pacific.
They were flying from Australia to LA. The survivors are trying to figure out where they are and how they can be rescued. Everyone has a past and each week one certain character's story is told through flashback. There are a lot of strange happenings on the island that, it would seem, have no explanation. All in all it's a well written show. I was hooked against my will.

[Bach]

never saw the show.. actually never even heard of it. what is it about?
It's on Wednesdays at 8 on ABC. The premise is a bit Survivor-like, only it's for real, not a game. The plane that crashed was off course and the search parties are looking in the wrong place, so there's no chance of rescue. They've got to fend for themselves and learn to live with people that have alot of skeletons in their real-life closets. It's really quite the captivating drama.

[Boratfan]

Its essentially Survivor with a science fiction twist. Add in good acting, writing, and directing with a dash of sex appeal.. and you got yourself a hit show.

[NJisSexiest]

i dont know if i could handle such a show.

[prozac]

I got hooked on Lost along with the little lady!! I have to say I did get a little pissed

at some episodes which just seemed to tease the viewers. With that said, we still

tune in every Wednesday and look forward to the new show on the 5th.

I also feel they are dead and are dealing with thier fears/dreams etc!! Like Bach

posted before about so much watered down garbage on tv, this show is actually good!

[Neaker]

Personally I can't decide which show I like better... Lost or CSI LV. Both are pretty f'n good.

[slap happy]

Just a reminder, NEW episode tomorrow night!

[Bach]

So...how 'bout that Kate?

[IfYouSeeKay]

I missed a few parts of it, who did Kate end up shooting...her partner at the bank? And what was the deal with the toy plane? Glad I taped it.

[Bach]

Yes, Kate shot her bank robbery partner. She told Jack the toy plane "belonged to the man I love." Then she started bawling with no other explanation. Wonder whose flashback will be next.

The previews for next week look good. I thought that was Claire I saw running and getting lifted off the ground during the commercial for the new show.

[IfYouSeeKay]

Okay thanks. I think they're focusing on the brother and sister next week. A "shocking revelation" from their past. So we'll see how that goes.

[Bach]

Okay thanks. I think they're focusing on the brother and sister next week. A "shocking revelation" from their past. So we'll see how that goes.
Good point on the bro and sis as next week's focus. They're both becoming more prime characters. I'm wondering what the brother is up to with Locke and what the "revelation" will be. Maybe they were lovers? Nah, wouldn't fly with network execs, but would be fun for the rest of us. :icon_mrgr

[Boratfan]

Just saw Weds episode (Thanx BT) and it keeps on delivering, week in and week out. Every character is deep, due to the strong writing and amazing character developement. Is Boone a shitdick? Is Locke the man in the relationship? Does ABC need to start distributing tissues and handcreme? Are there treadmills and personal trainers on the island?

[bossdjbware]

My original theory of the the show was that everyone was dead. I have another.

I think that the entire island is a ship or submarine. After watching the new episode on the 5th, there was the unusal shifting of the tide, the fucking Polar Bear from the 2nd episode, and the metal of some sort that Locke and the other kid(the brother) found under the ground in the last episode of December before they broke for the holidays.

Of course they didn't answer any of the cliffhangers from the previous episode. WTF

[Bach]

Of course they didn't answer any of the cliffhangers from the previous episode. WTF
I think the Claire issue will be resolved this week. She seemed to be featured in the preview following the last episode.

[ResinIII]

I love Charlie.He went through so much shit.He was and is just sweet and innocent.Loved the scene last week with him and the older African-American woman.http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/images/100x60_videopromo_monaghan.jpg

[Bach]

I love Charlie.He went through so much shit.He was and is just sweet and innocent.Loved the scene last week with him and the older African-American woman.
Agreed. He's one of the better characters and I like the emotion he conveys, compared to the way the others seem to be handling things. He's very grounded in reality.

[Bach]

*REMINDER* New episode tonight. 8PM on ABC. Strap in kids...

[hime]

You know, Blondie ChocolateHater might've dropped a hint last week. I think her brother might be gay...

And we know they're not all dead, JJ Abrams has said so.

[Bach]

Holy tits, what an episode. I have a feeling that Locke is living out his fantasy on the island and doesn't want to be rescued, so he'll sabotage things. Can't believe they bumped off Shannon -- one less piece to admire. Anyone else see the incest thing coming?

[slap happy]

i didnt see that coming. but is it really incest? its his step sister, his hot step sister. and i think locke just became my new favorite character.

[slap happy]

damn this show just keeps fucking with you. i thought it was over. nice twist.

[IfYouSeeKay]

Of course I missed the first 20 minutes again....what was the explanation with Boone paying off her boyfriends to get out of her life?

[Bach]

Of course I missed the first 20 minutes again....what was the explanation with Boone paying off her boyfriends to get out of her life?
It was a set-up. Shannon arranged it with the guys to rip off Boone, because their mother left money to him and not to her. She was bitter.

[blackout-]

wasn't that sawyer being dragged thru the police station when he was there to file the complaint?

[hime]

That was Sawyer. I was totally fucking wrong - and I really didn't wanna see Blondie ChocolateHater and Nancy Boy get it on. Gack.

Don't tease me. If you kill Blondie ChocolateHater, don't take it back.

[Bach]

That was Sawyer. I was totally fucking wrong - and I really didn't wanna see Blondie ChocolateHater and Nancy Boy get it on. Gack.

Don't tease me. If you kill Blondie ChocolateHater, don't take it back.
OK hime, I gotta ask...What's with this "Blondie ChocolateHater" thing? I'm guessing you're referring to Shannon, but why that name? Did I miss something?

[hime]

OK hime, I gotta ask...What's with this "Blondie ChocolateHater" thing? I'm guessing you're referring to Shannon, but why that name? Did I miss something?
televisionwithoutpity.com nicknamed her that - go back and watch the first episode. The first encounter with her, she's offered chocolate, and she rejects it. I find the nickname hilarious. Also, I've never liked her, so I couldn't remember her name for the longest time. Although I'm bad with that for TV characters anyway.

Show is fucking addictive. Can't wait till my next fix...

Many thanks. Yeah, it's a very addictive show. Also looking forward to the next episode. Wonder if they'll find Clair and what the deal with Locke is. Also want to see Boone and Sayid square off.

[hime]

I don't think we'll find out what happens to Claire for a few more episodes. As for Sayid and Boone, I think Boone doesn't care - he felt relieved, remember? Locke said he had "let go", and they went off into the woods. Of course, the show is set up in such a way to make you think they're gonna go nuts and kill somebody. I think Locke is a good character - they're gonna go figure out the door.

[Bach]

What do you think it is? I'm going with some sort of item lost/hidden by the military.

[IfYouSeeKay]

I wish I could even fathom a guess as to what is under that hatch. We all love the show because it's unpredictable. Polar bears, compasses acting screwy (I don't buy the "it's defective" explanation), high tide coming in at a crazy rate. I'm really curious to see where they're going to go with the show after they've told all of the characters' background stories.

[Boratfan]

The Boone/Shannon story is very similar to Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd in the movie Clueless. I wouldn't know because I didnt see the movie...

Very valid point. The "unexpected" factor is a huge benefit of the show.

[bossdjbware]

There are two stories left to tell, The father & son and Hurley, before they fuck us.

I'm pissed about the last episode and where the series is going. They've answered nothing and I'm thinking about giving it up. I've committed too much time to the show to give it up now. If they leave us hanging with nothing but questions after the next two episodes, that's it I'm done.

I'm not waiting for the next season unless they give us something incredible.

[SPEWEY]

I'm not waiting for the next season unless they give us something incredible.If there is no big reveal in the last episode about what is really happening on the island, I won't watch next season.

[Bach]

I think that's a mistake. There's obviously going to be a cliffhanger at the end of the last episode of this season. It's TV 101 -- keep 'em wanting more. They'll have my business come next season. It's one of the few shows left on the air that actually hold my attention, pique my interest, make me think, and not make me want to recoup the last hour of my life after watching.

[bossdjbware]

There's obviously going to be a cliffhanger at the end of the last episode of this season. It's TV 101 -- keep 'em wanting more.

That's what's pissing me off about it. I've felt it was a new, fresh, unique idea for a show. But dragging out into a second season with a cliffhanger would just make it too cliche for me.

I'm hoping they really wow me and pull me back in.

[SPEWEY]

I think that's a mistake. There's obviously going to be a cliffhanger at the end of the last episode of this season. It's TV 101 -- keep 'em wanting more.They won't leave me wanting more. I won't continue to watch a show that reveals nothing. I stopped watching the X-Files early on because of it, and I hate that the Sopranos constantly do it.

You have a strong will then. I couldn't bear knowing that it was on and not tune in if I still had unresolved questions.

[slap happy]

You have a strong will then. I couldn't bear knowing that it was on and not tune in if I still had unresolved questions.
same here, ill be tuning in. after watching so much crap on tv these last few years i have no problem investing some time in a quality show for a payoff.

[SPEWEY]

You have a strong will then. I couldn't bear knowing that it was on and not tune in if I still had unresolved questions.Once you realize that the questions won't be resolved, it's a waste of time. I'll be watching every episode this season for sure.

[IfYouSeeKay]

Anyone tune in this week? Okay so Walt is "different" which leaves things some things open. Since "things happen when he's around" is he responsible for the plane going down in the first place? How unexpected was the scene where Michael got plowed by the car? Claire's back, and she doesn't look pregnant anymore, although I could be wrong because it was nighttime, shadows and such. Locke is still the best character on the show. Boone's coming across like a protective boyfriend lol. And a side note, Walt's flared nostrils distracted the hell out of me in most of the scenes.

[blackout-]

it looked like the previews for next weeks show were a repeat(?) hope they don't go on a 4 week break like they did on 24 last year.

[Boratfan]

If there is no big reveal in the last episode about what is really happening on the island, I won't watch next season.

Everything doesn't have to be handed to you on a silver platter. A cocktease or two is a good thing when it comes to the world of television. If a quality program brings in ratings(ching ching) they will SLOWLY reveal everything to you. Lost is a good form of crack, enjoy it while the writing is still good.

[JavaLogBoy]

:icon_sad:

[bossdjbware]

Alright, fuck this!

They are giving us another repeat tonight. They are so fucking inconsistent with this show I can't even enjoy it anymore.

I'm done. I don't care what the fuck else happens. This is just ridiculous. There is no reason to bump the show back another week, or two, fuck maybe three. Who the fuck knows.

They just aren't giving me enough to keep me captivated. :cussing

[prozac]

Anyone have an idea when new episodes are coming on? Was the last one around two weeks ago the finale?

Copy of the home game?

[Rhps81]

I'm glad they've shown repeats the last two weeks. I've just start up school again for the semester and unfortunately, I have class on Wednesdays from 7-9:30pm. So, I miss Lost every week. Although, there are two people usually taping it for me, so I do still get to see it. I've yet to watch the taped episode of Walt's background, though, from reading the posts, it sounds like it was a good one.

My mother saw a preview tonight for the new episode and said it looked like a good episode this week.

My favorite character on the show is definitely Charlie. I don't know if that stems from me being a huge LOTR geek or if it is because I just love Domenic's character on the show. Charlie just seems so sweet and innocent at times. At times, he seems to be the only one not acting like he's stuck on an island. Before the whole ordeal with Claire, and with the exception for the episode with him detoxing, his main role on the island seems to be boosting everyon else's morale. He seems to cheer people up, mainly Claire.

I love this show, especially the way it keeps you hanging. As much as I yell and curse at the TV when I watch it because I want to know what happens next, I always come back for more.

Does anyone know how many shows are left in the season?

[bossdjbware]

Does anyone know how many shows are left in the season?

I'm assuming one. Hurley's story is all that's left. I been watching every week, so the repeats are annoying the shit out of me. Some answers are needed for me to stick around.

[Bach]

Well last night was quite the interesting episode. Now that Ethan's dead, I wonder what the new plot twist will be. Possibly some of his "friends" picking up where he left off?

[bossdjbware]

Well last night was quite the interesting episode. Now that Ethan's dead, I wonder what the new plot twist will be. Possibly some of his "friends" picking up where he left off?

I'm thinking that Ethan was the French woman's son. I would say she's out for revenge but she didn't know where her son was.

Why couldn't Claire remember anything past the crash? Was it really Claire?

Maybe Claire and the French woman are in the same boat: they came to the island pregnant, their child was taken, then they go insane. Possibly brainwashed.

They keep making me think Loche knows what's going on but I'm cautious of falling for that one. Maybe he was faking his injury the whole time (in his life before the crash) and is somehow involved with the happenings on the island.

Yet again - an episode with more questions and no answers! :icon_evil

[Bach]

Speaking of Locke, what ever happened to that thing he and Boone were digging up?

[Boratfan]

Speaking of Locke, what ever happened to that thing he and Boone were digging up?

J.J Abrams, the creator of Lost, is known for cock teasing his audience. He has supposidly done the same thing with his other show Alias.

[Bach]

Well he's got me hooked. No way would I give this show up.

[JoeyDVDZ]

Me neither. Watched it last night, been following it since the beginning. It's an amazing show, and you NEVER know where Abhrams is gonna go with it. Brilliant in every way.

[blackout-]

definatley does on alias... fuckin awesome show the 1st 3 seasons, so far the 4th has been more single-episode standalone type shows instead of a good storyline (a la rimbaldi like he had in the first 3 seasons), which kinda sucks.

[Bach]

Lost is proving to be a brilliant show. Anyone else think Charlie and Claire are gonna hit it before the season is over?

[bossdjbware]

If he's smart he'll get her before she pops.

He can't get her more pregnant.

[JoeyDVDZ]

It would be kinda tough to hit that with all that belly in the way, wouldn't it? Although I sure as shit would give it the old college try. She's HOT!

[JoeyDVDZ]

Speaking of Locke, what ever happened to that thing he and Boone were digging up?
That's a good question. They didn't even touch on that the past two eps.

[bossdjbware]

Believe me, it's not that tough.

[Rhps81]

Charlie and Claire will definitely at some point hit it off. As will Shannon and Sayed (If thay haven't already...I missed the episode with Michael's background.) And it looks like next week, there will be some sort of triangle developing between Kate, Sawyer, and Jack.

[Lounge Action]

Ethan also took a couple shots to the chest courtesy of Charlie. :shoot3:

[JoeyDVDZ]

BTW, it would pay to remember, Bach, that Ethan seemed to be something a bit different than human. Who's to say that once he dies, he stays dead?

[Rhps81]

One of the vestigial, non-essential characters. Either Steve or Scott, who were never a focus.

I believe it was Scott...Hurley just kept calling him Steve. Ethan died also. Charlie killed him for Claire, before the gang got to question him as to who he was, how he got on the island, and what he wanted with Claire. Claire has no recolection as to what happened to her while she was with Ethan. For that matter, she's lost her memory from the island completely. She only remembers being on the plane.

Haven't heard anything. Most shows wait till at least after the second season, in case it jumps the shark prematurely. Post any questions you have though -- I'm sure you'll get answers.

[irunonsemen]

any remember the black guy in a wheelchair from oz liked the dreads better
wow we have 2 love triangles one has a incest storyline im hooked also opie and anthony have never mention the show right

[Bach]

Was it just me or was the most recent episode a bit disappointing? Seemed like they were really reaching to fill in Sawyer's story.

[Rhps81]

I have a question. What the hell happened with the guy that Sawyer killed. Was that the guy he wrote the letter to or was it the wrong person? I was really confused at that point.

I like the fact that lately, as they are doing flashbacks, everyone seems to be tying in together. When Boone was in the police station, Sawyer was being taken in in handcuffs. This week, Sawyer had some drinks with Jack's father. Maybe it was no coincidence that these people were all on the same flight?

[Bach]

I have a question. What the hell happened with the guy that Sawyer killed. Was that the guy he wrote the letter to or was it the wrong person? I was really confused at that point.

That was a confusing part. Luckily I taped it and replayed a few times to get it. The guy Sawyer killed was the wrong guy. The first guy that Sawyer talked to in an earlier flashback (the one who showed up in his place when he was about to bang the girl) set him up. This first guy was owed money by the guy Sawyer killed. Sawyer had pissed off this guy so the guy set Sawyer up by telling him it was the guy that had killed his mother, when really he just used Sawyer to kill the guy in the shrimp truck for not paying his debt. You're probably more confused now, but hopefully that helped.

[Rhps81]

Yeah...definitely more confused now. I didn't see that part of the flashback. I usually watch tapes of the show. And this last week, the tape wasn't started until a good 10-15 minutes into the show, so, that could be why. Oh well. I'll just have to get myself a more reliable person to tape the show for me on Wednesdays.

Thanks, Bach.

[irunonsemen]

last week promo was misleading im going to sue after my block buster lawsuit keep the movies a day or 2 more then pay more then you have ever paid in latee fees geeez

[slap happy]

i still think this is a great show, but they lost me for the season with the constant repeats. i got tired of waiting for a new episode. ill wait till the show is put out on dvd.

[Bach]

I'm really looking forward to Wednesday. I don't think I'd be able to drop the show at this point. With ER being in the perrenial crapper, it's the only drama left on TV that I can really look forward to.

I read the post you quoted about five times and have come to the ultimate conclusion that the answer is yes, you unfortunately do. But, there is a happy alternative to going down the junkie trail -- ignore and move on. Ain't it grand how things work out for the more gooder? :)

[ButtPlugz]

Tonights Lost looks like it might be pretty tight. They go into the background of Jin, and how he dealt with his wifes father, according to the writeup in the paper this morning.

[Farside]

shit! I just got in... missed first 15 minutes, did I miss anything important?

[chumpy]

During one of Jin's flashbacks, when he's delivering a message the first time. Did anyone else see the fat boy on the tv the girl was watching. That makes me wonder who that guy really is. We haven't seen any flashbacks with him yet, while we've seen two with others.

Ponderous, fucking ponderous

During one of Jin's flashbacks, when he's delivering a message the first time. Did anyone else see the fat boy on the tv the girl was watching. That makes me wonder who that guy really is. We haven't seen any flashbacks with him yet, while we've seen two with others.

Ponderous, fucking ponderous
I caught that, and was floored! What the hell was Hurley doing on a Chineese TV show?!? That was weird as shit.

[reyalsnik]

My brother was watching it with me and was like 'Did you see what was on the TV' and I was like 'No' and he was like 'It was the fat guy' and I was like 'Really?' and he was like 'Yeah'. Did anyone tape/TIVO this and if so, can you go back and see wtf it was about?

Chumpy, I'm drawing a blank, when was the other time Hurley was seen in a flashback?

No, I mean that I'm wondering why there hasn't been one for Hurley when others have had two.

[reyalsnik]

Chumpy: Ah.
Roche: Thanks! Can't really tell anything. Damn.

[roche]

Chumpy: Ah.
Roche: Thanks! Can't really tell anything. Damn.

It is Hurley. He is getting into a car for some reason. There is some type of Asian subtitles. This will tie into something later. I cannot wait to find out what.

[Bach]

I just watched Wednesday's episode on tape. Yes, it was definitely Hurley on the Asian TV show. And it was prominent enough that you know they did that on purpose. Interesting, though I'm more curious about Walt and Locke, and why they "like the island" so much. Locke's a bit easier to figure out -- he's living his "jungle man" fantasy, from his flashback. My money is on him sabotaging future rescue/escape attempts. Next week should be interesting. Based on the previews, I have a feeling they'll be going into Hurley's flashback.

[chumpy]

That's what I was thinking too. If so, that news clip will probably be somewhere in the flashbacks.

[Fr. Dougal]

Has Hurley ever revealed why he was in Australia?

[slap happy]

i remember reading (i think in entertainment weekly) that Hurleys story will be the last to be revealed. so I assume that his story will be the common thread connecting all the survivors together.

[roche]

Has Hurley ever revealed why he was in Australia?

Nope. This is the first hint we have been given.

[Deacon Jones]

This week Hurley goes looking for the french woman... its like the first time he's getting really involved in an episode so hopefully they'll go into his backstory a lil.

[sued]

If anyone is interested there is a website called Spoilerfix.com which will give you whatever info is out there about upcoming eps of quite a few popular shows including Lost and Alias. I am hooked on both and check that site out all the time just to get a sneak peak!

I'm sure they will. The general pattern is they focus on a character's current circumstances, and then flash back to the life they had going on just prior to getting on that plane. I can't wait to see Hurley's back story. You know it's gonna be weird.

[JoeyDVDZ]

Okay, who's watching now? Anyone interested in Hurley's backstory? I've been dying to know, and now we're already finding out some interesting shit about the fat dude...

My tivo didn't record it and I can't miss this one. If someone has it recorded somehow can you copy and send it to me somehow. I have good dsl speed if you can possibly upload it to me.

But if anyone can hook me up I'd appreciate it and try to pay you back somehow.

I'm kinda glad they left Hurley until now. That episode was pretty informative.

[JoeyDVDZ]

The Hurley ep tied a lot of stuff together. Especially the reason they're all there to begin with!

yep, and its really weird how what looked like an opportunity for some of the other castaways to kinda get their lives in order and get 2nd chances (Charlie kicking his habit, Locke walking again etc.) are all results of Hurleys curse.
I had a good chuckle when Hurley barked at the guy replacing the lightbulb "DUDE... do NOT do that right now! Leave the bulb for another time man!"
Greatest show in a looooooong time.
Too bad we have to wait weeks for the next one.

[Wishypants]

I've been obsessing on the numbers and what they could possibly mean all day. The only things I can come up with is 42 being the answer to the universe from HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy and the flight number was 815. I need a life.

DVD is due September 6, 2005!

Also, the next NEW episode is now March 30th
Apparently there has been a change in the airdates of new episodes. According to ABC, episode 1x20 "Do No Harm" will air on April 6th, so that leaves March 30th to be the airdate for ep 1x19 "Deux Ex Machina". Therefore there will be a shorter hiatus. :)

no problem man, I was so psyched when I read that. Its great watching the reruns catching stuff I missed the first time around but waiting till April for new stuff would have driven me nuts.

[Maynard K]

A stolen theory from a fan site:
4 8 15 16 23 (42)
The numbers just add up

4+8+15+16+23= 66 (42=(4+2)= 6)

666

The Devil's number.

The plot thickens.
Claire is carrying Damian, the Devils spawn!

[Maynard K]

Orrrrrr:

Is anyone here familiar with the "Philadelphia Experiment." I'm getting suspicious of a tie-in. That last scene of the hatch had a WWII flavor imho. Supposedly, a naval ship was wrapped in cable and juiced, producing a magnetic field that played havoc with sailors bodies. The intent was to produce invisibility. It would play to the government "black" programs idea. It's easy to make the numbers coincide: August 15 (8 -15) convoy GUS-23 (23) set out from USA... plan conceived in 1942 (42).

Isn't this just a little bit trite, hackneyed, and overdone? I'd expect something reeking of a little less limburger from this show.

[JoeyDVDZ]

In complete agreement, but I can't imagine that Abrams is going to be that obvious. It's apparent that Claire's baby is destined for some truly strange stuff, but devil baby? I think not.

[Bach]

Unfortunately, no. But that thing in the ground that Locke's been digging up has the numbers printed on them, so there's a definite tie-in. I'm in complete suspense and am just looking forward to the next episode.

I've heard about that, and saw the movie they made about it. Loved it. I doubt they've got some extra-dimensional thing going on here, though. At least I hope not. It would be sort of a letdown if they were that hack about it, to steal another already-been-done idea like that.

[JoeyDVDZ]

If anyone was watching last nights repeat of Lost, we're in luck, they're running a new ep next week! I guess they took too much heat from newspapers like the NY Daily News, who have been absolutely SLAMMING these guys with the whole 5 weeks of repeats shit. Good for us though!!!

[bossdjbware]

All of the repeats are really hurting the series. I'll watch next week and through out the rest of the season, but I've really lost interest with these sporadic episodes

[Farside]

Yea next episode looks good!

[IDontCare05]

Here is a great forum for "Lost". I am a huge fan of the show and check this forum out regularly. http://www.lost-tv.com/

Im not saying this one started by Bach isn't cool, it is, but this one that i have been used to has more to offer than just text.

[hime]

One of the numbers is 23 - which has a lot of background with "the Illuminati" - I'm not saying I buy the shit, but it's a number people like to throw around as a counter-culture ref.

[Domino]

Lost is like the one show I watch religiously. I haven't really read a lot of this thread because I don't want anything spoiled... but does anyone know how many episodes are left in the season?

[Farside]

6 I believe, plus a 1-hour clip type show focusing on the flashbacks from what I hear.

[KurtisLow]

I love this show, but the fucking commercial breaks are ridiculous.

Pretty good episode tonight, little predictable with the kidney thing though.

Saw that coming a mile away.

[blackout-]

when boone was on the radio at the end did the guy say 'there is/was no flight whatever # he said' - sounded like it but couldn't be sure... as im sure it was intended.

locke shoulda been waking up in a poolful of ice in a hotel room heh. next thing you know they'll find some dead scuba divers in the middle of the jungle.

[vagpump]

it was definetly one of the better episodes tonight, the thing lighting up at the end after locke was yelling was quite strange and I will be pulled in for yet another week

I have it taped & ff to that part & put the closed caption on. This is what was said:

Boone: Hello, Hello. Anybody out there? Mayday, Mayday
Loche: Boone there's no time, get out now!
Man on Radio: Is there someone there?
Boone: HELLO! HELLO!
[radio static]
Boone:Can you hear me?
Man on radio: Repeat your transmission please.
Boone: Hello. We're survivors of the crash of oceanic flight 815.
Loche: Boone get out.
Bone:Please copy.
Loche: Boone Get out!
Man on Radio: Hello. There were no survivors of oceanic flight 815

plane crashes.

That last Hello from the radio didn't sound like Boone's or The other guy.
Maybe it's just me.

[hime]

And before anyone on here not familiar with the show trots out the cliche - it has been previously announced that the survivors are not dead/dying and imagining the whole thing.

(I too rewound with the closed captioning on - that's what he said. I think I know what's going on, sort of. But I've been very wrong before.)

As for Locke's situation, I think it's in line with the total change he experienced on the island.

Right. I've heard that from a couple of the cast & a few articles.

I was just posting what was said.
Went a little to quick when I first watched it & didn't catch what was said.

So what do you think is going on?

I'm thinking it's got something to do with kid Walt, he's got some kind of
weird subconcious power. But what the hell do I know. :icon_wink


I just want to know what the fuck is in the jungle & what's in that hatch!

Great show though.
Doesn't follow the same forumlas that every other show puked out has.

[hime]

Walt may have had something to do with it all, but I think the government covered up the disappearance of the flight - sort of like in Donnie Darko - how bad does it look when you can't find the plane with all the high tech gear it has on it? Doesn't the black box have a homing signal of some sort?

[hime]

And yeah, I wanna know what's in the hatch too.

[Mindriot]

That "Hobbit" is gonna be in heaven when he finds out about he Plane full of "H".

[Quinn Martin]

I do-- and I don't. For me, this show has always been about the great ride. Rather than over-analyzing things and trying to be a plot Kreskin, I just sit back and let the show play itself out.

Do I want all the secrets revealed? Yes. Do I fear that those revelations will turn out to be a series of shark-jumps? Yes, that too. For now, I'm just enjoying the hell out of the "Twilight Zone" vibe. I haven't felt this way about a show since "Twin Peaks". But there's the rub-- "Twin Peaks" was weird and inventive until it inevitably collapsed into itself. I do hope "Lost" can reach a more satisfying end, but in the meantime, I love the ride.

By the way, Locke's dream gave me a very-welcome case of the creeps rarely experienced on network TV. Good episode.

Yep.....Twilight Zone is the king.
I hate just about anything in Black & white, but Twilight zone rocked.
Rod Serling was a great writer, way ahead of his time, and I like the few shows that show a bit of his flavor of story telling.

Lost is one of them.

Your right too about twin peaks. Great show, bad fucking way to end it.

BTW, I think I read on one of those tv sites that tonights show was
going to show how Loche got paralyzed.

I didn't see that happen. :icon_evil

I always look at my watch fearing that 9:00 will hit, this show needs to be longer than an hour! Or even better HBO should show it.

They will have to give us some answers to keep people interested but leave us with a big cliffhanger at the end of this season. I have read all the boards and everyone seems to be all over the place about the big picture. Anybody think they have an idea of what is really going on? I have absolutely no idea what is going on or will happen next. Amazing. How often does that happen in tv today?

Rod Serling was such an original. I mean the balls of that guy. Each episode of "The Twilight Zone" would open with the first scene of the story. Then suddenly the camera would pan across the room in a whirl to reveal the man:

There he'd be-- black suit, black tie, white shirt, neatly-combed-but-greasy hair, ever-present cigarette and lingering smoke-- all with that one-of-a-kind delivery: "Submit for your approval ..."

Bad ass. :clap:

No question. So many people think M. Night Shyamalan is the second-coming of Hitchcock. It's more like he's carrying on the plot-twist style that Serling perfected as a writer, most notably with "The Twilight Zone".

Although Shyamalan's work has been somewhat hit and miss, I suspect Serling would be his biggest fan if he was still alive.

I would have to say job well done on the part of abrams and company, as for suspense. They dole out tiny little parts of the story, just enough to keep you saying "one more week", which is exactly what their jobs are.

That being said, who else was shocked that they killed Boone?

That was really shocking since he was one of the main guys. But you had to think that it was time for them to kill someone off soon. And by the way when is Hurly going to loose some weight? He should be skinnier by now...ya know?

[hime]

I wasn't shocked, I was ecstatic.

The spoiler communities had been tipped to a death at the end of season, the new thinking is this was to throw us off, that Boone was the one to die.

And by the way when is Hurly going to loose some weight? He should be skinnier by now...ya know?
Is he about a size 14?

[JoeyDVDZ]

I suspect even if Hurley didn't eat a bite since arriving on the island, he would be the same weight. Nobody who wasn't supposed to die would die, and even if they tried, they wouldn't. Fate is a bitch like that.

Debris? I think not

[Farside]

...Any ideas on who ends up on the raft?

Michael for sure since it was his idea to build it, and his son I'm sure, Jin since he's been working on it in just about every scene since, the last one is probably going to be up to Kate or Sawyer to fight it out for a seat. I'd bet on Sawyer.

[sued]

Sawyer, Michael, Jin and I'm not so sure about Walt. I can see Michael saying its too risky for Walt on the raft and leaving him behind. The show isnt going to lose Walt when he is so eerie. Either that or they are going to see something amazing about the island from the ocean that they couldn't see from land and turn back to deal with it.

Except remember, Walt was the whole reason Michael wanted to build the raft in the first place. Michael said "He can't grow up here. He can't grow up in this place." and "I'm doing this, my son and I are leaving"
As for seeing something when they set sail, I'd bet money on it http://www.wackbag.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

[sued]

Yes, but I think he is going to think he can go get help and come back for Walt, giving Locke time to influence him in some way or another. I can't wait to see what they find out about the island. This show is like crack. Terribly addictive.

I dunno, I still think Michael intends to take Walt on the raft... but after watching tonights episode I'm not sure Walt wants to be on the raft.
It seemed to me that Walt sensed that something bad will happen to the raft when it does set sail so who knows, maybe Walt will stay behind after all.
Judging from the preview it looks like Michael is getting sick... so maybe the two of them'll stay behind?
Maybe he's getting that sickness that Danielle spoke of. Jack too, yea he gave alot of blood but I thought something was different about him last episode before he gave blood.
Who knows, but yeah this show is like crack. I can't wait for the next episode.

[sued]

I am sure Walt does not want to leave. I don't remember when I saw it but I could swear he said something like that once to Locke. Also very interesting thing in next week's preview was Walt saying "don't open that thing" to Locke. I think Walt has sort of an idea of whats really going on. Not b/c he's smart but b/c thinks like a child. If he doesn't want to leave then it figures that opening the hatch will help them get off the island somehow. The writers have said that everything going on can be explained by science so its not a dream or something like purgatory. This and Alias make my Wednesday nights. It should be on twice week. And we've only got like 4 more more new episodes left this season.

[Farside]

True, certainly not purgatory nor a dream. But as for everything being explained by science, thats half true.


From LostTV.com
Sci Fi Wire - Lost's Secrets Hinted
David Fury, co-executive producer of ABC's upcoming SF series Lost, told SCI FI Wire that one of the most mysterious characters on the new series about plane crash survivors stranded on a mysterious South Pacific island is the island itself. "It is very interesting and has its own mythology that will hopefully unfold over many seasons," Fury (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) said in an interview. "We are hearing and seeing very odd occurrences, like a polar bear on the island. How does something like that happen in the South Pacific?"
While Lost is an amalgam of different genres, including SF, Fury explained that realism is the key in making it all work. "What we are trying to do is make sure everything has a very Scully explanation," Fury said, referring to the X-Files character. "This is not a show about the supernatural, despite the fact that we have a very huge creature that likes to eat people. Despite the surreal, bizarre aspects of the island, there will be an explanation for it. It may not come for a very long time, but certain information about the island will explain how things are possible. We'll try to root it in real science or real pseudo-science. There will be no mystical reason or an island of monsters. The island has been around for millennia, and many people have found themselves on it, and as far as we know, nobody has ever gotten off. There is also the possibility of others being on the island, they just haven't seen them yet. And we'll never know how big this island is. It could be enormous, but odd things will keep them from knowing the full length and breadth of it. It's an interesting little allegory. It will be very mysterious."

Key words: mythology and pseudo-science.


Walt may have given the biggest clue when he was doing his homework and said something to the effect of "Why am I studying birds of Australia? We're in australia. Should'nt I be studying birds of egypt?" If you have the episodes on tape or downloaded them, notice that many times just before the monster makes an appearance you'll hear wings flapping. Sure it could just be jungle birds sensing danger and avoiding it but if you check out the pic I posted a few posts back the "debris" that hits the turbine follows a very controlled path.
I don't know but I just don't think the answer will be as scientific as some may hope.
Anyway, you're right... when Locke asked Walt why he burned down the raft Walt said it was because he did'nt want to leave and that he was tired of moving around and that he likes it on the island.
Walt is more than just a smart kid though, his step-father knew that, and Locke knows it.
Does he fear that opening the hatch means a way off the island, or fear that opening the hatch means doom... good question!
I can't wait for my next fix.

[sued]

I check Spoilerfix.com every day to see if there is anything interesting. I can't help myself. I know it is more fun to be totally thrown by what happens but I just can't wait that long.

I do agree about the bird sounds when the monster comes and I am sure Walt has something to do with it. Perhaps he was the cause of the plane crash. He was reading the comic with the polar bear on it.
I do love what they are doing to Sawyer. Soon he'll be wearing an apron and baking cookies. Those glasses are a riot! It is so cool to see the sexy guy get goofed on.

[Farside]

ha! yea he's really become a mess.
I can't bring myself to check the spoilers, this is the first show in the longest time that has me craving for the next episode. I would'nt want to spoil any surprises. I WAS really tempted though during the hiatus, that had me livid.
I'm picking up the DVD's for sure.
Notice the game Sayid's buddies were playing? Half Life... I wonder if theres anything to it. An experiment gone wrong?
Gotta love a show that makes you think... so rare in todays shows. Everything seems to be a clue.

Does anyone know where I can get a .torrent of this weeks show? I missed it. I think its ep21.

[sued]

Don't sweat it. I would NEVER spoil someone else's fun. Although I do know they are on Mars and part of an exchange program with aliens.

How f'ed up would it be if I was right? I have no idea what really is going on, I just hope the writers do. It would really suck to have this fizzle out into some lame alien,dream, purgatory-scenario.

I know they the episodes are around for free somewhere but I haven't been able to find them. I will be buying the DVDs when they come out just to closely review every grain of sand they walk past looking for clues. I do feel like a Lost stalker.

There are other shows I watch but they are'nt too important to me... try talking to me while Lost is on though and you're likely to find whatever the nearest throw-able object is upside your head.

Anyone care to guess what is going to happen tonight? Don't cheat- if you read spoilers don't blab. Just a real guess.

I'm keeping out of it b/c I do read the spoilers and have alittle idea.
I do hope Sawyer has to read Good Housekeeping or something ridiculous to the baby again. I love him in those stupid glasses.

[JoeyDVDZ]

Has anyone noticed a subtle shift in personalities between Jack & Sawyer? It's almost like Jack's becoming a paranoid asshole and Sawyer is starting to become the nice guy. Weird.

[boombots]

Pretty good show tonight, alot about Kate's past. The real story here is next week's episode, you guys see the preview!?!?

[sued]

Walt knows something just by touching Locke! That is freaky. Who else has he touched and what did he say to them after? Anything revealing? I did guess it was Sun after she asked Jin if he was going. Although I didn't guess it was Kate's idea.
I love Hurley's line about "how am I supposed to keep every thing straight about who knows what". I heard they wrote the part especially for him- so glad he's there. Lots of fun, him.

[chumpy]

Yeah, Hurley is great. But. you think he would have lost some weight by now

Even if they had a taco bell down the beach that guy should be shedding something. Also, wondering about everyone's hair growth and makeup. Everything should be running out soon. How many raxors and shaving cream do people pack?

Maybe the turbine was destroyed by the "monster" that "guards the island"?

As we all know, Walt "makes things happen", that's how he came to be with Michael.

[hime]

Sorry I didn't post earlier, I was busy bringing my computer back from the dead.

I didn't see it coming with Black Rock. And this show is way more fun than crack. Also way more addictive. It's so bad that even though I have a ReplayTV, I still want to watch it live. Can't wait for the DVDs so I can force all my friends to watch it in the dark.

[mascan42]

BOOM!

[IDontCare05]

Man what a finale. I can't beleive that shit. They finally get the raft going and then the "others" blow it up and take the kid. I am kinda pissed off though. I didn't want to be left like that until next season. I wanted to see the inside of the hatch and also what happens to the rest of the survivors. I can't wait until the next season! ahhhh why do they do that to the fans....

[Farside]

Awsome episode! I can't believe it was'nt Aaron the Others were after.
Walt! WoW I knew the kid was important but that blindsided me.
Charlie taking the Virgin Mary statue... holy shit!
I can't believe we have to wait till Fall for another fix.

I know.... That was totally a blindsided move. But if you remember the kid was very smart about the island's secrets. He knew that they shouldn't open the hatch and mabye the kid had some importance to them. I also knew that that teacher was going to explode. It just seemed like it was going to happen.

[THE FEZ MAN]

the teacher was that dude from star trek you know the guy in the red shirt... as for charlie and the smack that was a gimmy as for the hatch.... im gona say under ground bunker from the days of nuclear testing they did land in the south pacific i realy have a love hate thing with the show. also i didnt bother to read the other posts but Kate's only other tv role was a phone sex commerical

[Bach]

I'm completely stunned and speechless, except for the funniest line of the episode...

Jack: What is it, Hurley?
Hurley: Dude...you got a little Arnst on you.

I could almost picture Hurley tagging that line with "jus' sayin'...".

[Farside]

I can't begin to explain how glad I am that the teacher did explode. I laughed my ass off.

Jack: We're going to have Locke problems
muhahahahaha
Locke rocks!

I wonder wtf they need Walt for...

[IDontCare05]

as for charlie and the smack that was a gimmy.


Then again they can throw a curveball and have him take it for a religious reason....just sayin.

[THE FEZ MAN]

yea when ya do too much smack you see god man.. like playing sabbith at 78 speed

[sued]

Those guys on the boat were very scary. It was shot so well! Did anyone else notice the fuzzy stuff flying aroung the evil guuy and not around the raft guys? The bearded
guy looked like a pirate, maybe he came off the Black Rock. That scene reminded me of that Jim Carrey movie where he doesnt realize he's part of a tv shot. That boat coming out of nowhere withthe big light was eerie. Sooo well done. Why do you think Danielle can hear the others whispering? That hatch ladder looks shot to hell, no one has been climbing up that thing for a while. I am never going to sleep tonight.

[boombots]

This show is amazing, what an awesome finale last nite. Unfortunetly i think we got more questions then answers, but its all good. For a second when The Others approached them, I thought they were goign to say they were also survivors of the plane crash.

What do you guys think about Michael, Sawyer and Jin are they gonna leave it like that and have us assume they drowned, or are we gonna see them clinging to the debris of the raft and some how drift to another part of the Island?

Ugh I can't wait till Sept!

[Bach]

Anyone know the date of the season premier in the fall?

[hime]

I know, I'm wondering exactly how long I have to wait.

[ASSBAG]

Every show has a "season finally" type cliff hanger. I am so happy we only have to wait untill September, unlike Soprano's where it takes 2 years.

[sued]

ABC website shows it as returning in the fall. Hopefully by tehn the DVD will have some out so I can rewatch the eps and find out what they foreshadowed or alluded to.
I just read in tv guide that the writers are saying that the voice on the radio Boone found in the plane was saying " we are the survivors (Celine) of flight 815". They go on to say you don't know if its responding to Boone or just echoing his own voice. Apparently there has been some question abou what was acctually said b/c the hearing impaired scroll was not correct. This brings up the question of if there are other survivors where have they been? Why haven't the "others" found them too?

[boombots]

I believe the DVD comes out in Sept and the Premier is in October.
I've also heard about possibilities of survivors from the back of the plane. I have a feeling we will be seeing Lucia? the chick Jack was talking with at the airport before the flight, she was sitting in the back of the plane. Also the black ladies husband who was in the bathroom in the back of the plane and she's said that she knows he's still alive.

[JoeyDVDZ]

I love this show, but I'm not happy that we have NO FUCKIN idea what's in the hatch yet. Although I knew they were gonna cock block us, it still sucks ass.

[hime]

Yeah, the closed captioning on that scene said "there were no survivors" - now I have to wonder, was everything just echoed back to him? I don't have that ep on my DVR anymore.

(clicking the numbers won't spoil anything, just an early promo for season 2)

[sued]

If I remember correctly it did not sound like echoing to me. At the time I played it back several times trying to figure out what they were saying. The inflection was different. I am sure they wouldn't put it in if there were no other survivors. Plus let's not forget about Jack's missing dad! He could still be hanging out in the woods. There is a website called thecastaways.com and there is a theory about what is going on that was interesting. Also I've read something comparing it to a Michael Creiton book. I really have no good idea about what's going on.

[Farside]

Also I've read something comparing it to a Michael Creiton book. I really have no good idea about what's going on.

Thats along the lines of what I originally thought was going on but after seeing some posts in another forum (the above link will lead you there sooner or later, I don't have the link atm) I'm not too sure anymore. But yea, that would explain the mist.

[sued]

I clicked onthe numbers and got nada. Where did you find info?

[crescentwrench]

They better hold off Hurley until last down the hatch, he'll never fit. And the rest will have to scoot down Jackie Chan style.

That cliffhanger ending pissed me off too. I hate waiting. Some shows tie up their finales so they can start brand new next season, though I guess it wouldn't work as well with this material.

[Farside]

Try the link later, the site is getting slammed. I watched it earlier, the promo itself was'nt revealing at all but when its over it leads you to a forum. On there was some VERY revealing stuff (again, if its real) it looked like it could be the writers forum MAYBE. Lots of "how the hell did you find this forum?" posts directed at the newbie posters.

DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK (http://www.oceanic-air.com/images/oa_front-letter1a.jpg) IF YOU DON'T WANT TO POSSIBLY BE SPOILED
Again I say possibly because I have no clue how legit it is.

I'm scrambling to get you the link to the forum Sued, hang in there.

[Farside]

I think its FAKE
<crawls back in his hole>
I'm sticking with my original loosely based theory, the Michael Creiton book theory kinda works with it... but wtf the Others have anything to do with anything I'm still in the dark about.

[sued]

It seems from all the other webboards that this is from abc. When I click on contact us it sends me to a disney website so I think they are legit.

[boombots]

I briefly checked out that site yesterday and I saw the pic of the Pink paper which i guess is from the script? The site is linked w/ ABC and Disney, but I got a feeling it's all fake just to fuel more theories and to keep the buzz goin for the off season.

I didn't see the message board section someone mentioned, but if it was all real and this was a site the producers and what not used, why would they take a picture of that script and post it on THEIR site if they didn't want us to see it.

As for the forum, go back to that link (http://www.oceanic-air.com/seatingchart.htm) with the seating chart, click the numbers in order (seat rows) and the trailer should start... it seems a bit more stable today. After the trailer you will get bounced there (http://forums.go.com/abc/oceanic/index). The trailer uses clips from last season, mostly them running, so don't expect too see much but pay attention to the message.
Also click on some of the seats on the chart.

Well, I just watched the rerun of the finale with my wife and I noticed something IMPORTANT! Walt had the transmitter radio wedged in his belt when the boat guys took him away...it was showing when they grabbed him and then his inflatable life jacket covered it up. I bet the others are only a mile from the shore and will swim in at first light and then track walt via his radio....Probably a 5 episode story line right there....
Oh, and let me correct some spelling that is really bothering me because i am a huge fan of his books...The author is Michael Chrichton (kri-ton)

I haven't read this thread from the beginning so i don't know if the walt story was already proposed...

[sender_name]

I rewatched it on an hd download and it appears to be his belt that looks like the radio...oh well...

[JoeyDVDZ]

I don't think the pink script page is a decoy. I heard the "monster" and first thing I thought was metal track treads, like from a catepillar backhoe or a tank. It definitely is mechanical in nature, but there's obviously a biological component to it, otherwise why would it be eating the survivors? Also, what was with the puffs of black smoke? It almost looked sentient to me.

[sender_name]

While watching the finale again...because i have tivo! I noticed that when hurley, locke and jack have blown the hatch and are walking towards it with their torches, there is a friggen tent there! It is full of equipment and people moving around, and lit from the inside so it is casting shadows of the people and equipment. It is obiously a mistake, and the crew's production tent, but man, what a screw up! I got a vidcap, and brightened it...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y228/Sender_name/Prodtentlost.jpg

Here is that scene from the HDTV broadcast. It looks slightly fuzzy because I also had to brighten the image with Photoshop.

No one is moving in there. Those are the leaves in front of the tent moving. Great find nonetheless.

[JoeyDVDZ]

So, what does anybody here think of the weird myspace page? Think it's the Lost production team seeding the net with clues as to what's going on? It was pretty weird, the blurb that the "hatch" wrote there... and if I was a creepy experiment in interdimensional time-space manipulation, I would probably babble in that weird stream of conciousness way too...

[sender_name]

So, what does anybody here think of the weird myspace page? ...

It stinks, and I don't like it!


Seriously, I hate the completely retarded out of the blue whackjob theory pages. The best I can come up with is that the chamber is an underground passage that leads to the other side of the island, which i also thing is where sawyer, michael and the korean dude are going to end up swimming to. I think the side of the island they are on is the bad/dark side...

[LiddyRules]

Lost is so overrated. I mean it's entertaining enough while it's actually airing but on the whole, they're just moving so ungodly slowly in a pathetic attempt to put off revealing the mysteries (that they have no idea what the resolutions are). Kate is one of the most annoying characters on TV and i'm already tired of the flashbacks.

[blevine77]

I can't wait -- Lost is definitely the best network drama out there today (though that may change with Fox's "Prison Break" -- that show looks incredible).

Anyway, word is not only is Michelle Rodriguez going to be a full-time new cast member (she was in the season finale), but the guy who played Adebisi on Oz will also be on the new season. I can already picture him demanding drugs from Charlie while he's ****** Sawyer, after shanking Sayid. "Hey, Chah-lee, geeve me some TEETS, mon."

I didnt start watching this show until after the season. I downloaded all the episodes and watched them all through my comp. Watching them one after the other was great. My buddy watched from the begining and he said he loved the show but got really annoyed with long breaks between new episodes. The finale was cool but it will be interesting to see how they develop a second season. I have a feeling this could be one of those shows that start out really strong but then just go to shit.
Oh, Kate is fucking hot as shit

Since you seem to be Lost-fans, what do you all think about the new casting news of Michelle Rodriguez, Adibisi, and chick from Titus? I am really disliking the cast bloat.

And just to prove I'm not a mindless hater. I think O'Quinn deserves best supporting actor this year, I like Shannon/Boone and I like Sawyer and hope they do more with him than bog him down in useless love triangles with Jack, Kate and Ana.

Lost will go another 4 seasons w/o revelaing anything about the island... just like Alias and the Rambaldi stuff :( JJ Abrams makes good shows but teases so much it gets annoying.

[LiddyRules]

I was reading something that he wants to go 7 or so season and he has a grand overarching plan or some crap like that. Let's face it, he has no grand plan and want to coast on the success of S1 for quite sometime. And flashbacks suck, end them.

Why Damon Lindelof Didn't Reveal What's in the Hatch in Season One: “What’s in there is really, really cool and we decided that whatever it was they found in there was going to change their existence on the island. So instead of it just being something that they see and then leave, it forces them to reevaluate everything they thought they knew about where they are and why they’re there and what they’re supposed to do there more importantly. The hatch instead of just being something in the first couple episodes is going to go all the way through season two.”

Damon Lindelof on Creating the Hatch: “The first day that I met J.J. Abrams, Monday afternoon, we started talking about the show and started saying, ‘There’s no way to make the show work. There’s no way you can do an island show on network television unless you do that.’ So we started riffing out ways the show could conceivably work, ‘But they’ll never let us do that.
They’ll never let us have 40 main characters on the show and they’ll never let us do weird science fiction storytelling’ but she enough the network and the studio said, ‘Yeah, you can do that. You can do that.’ So that first day, JJ said, ‘Oh, and they should find this hatch. They should find something in the ground.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God, what’s in it?’ He’s like, ‘I don't know, we’ll figure it out later.’ But that idea was born on that first day.”

Damon Lindelof on Figuring Out What's in the Hatch: “Then over the course of subsequent weeks as we were writing the pilot and casting the pilot, we kept talking about what would be in this hatch. Then Carlton Cuse came on around episode four or five and he joined the conversation. We said the rule will be they would not find the hatch until we know what is in it. And we finally figured it out and said okay, this is awesome.They found the hatch around episode 10 or 11. We always knew they would not open it until the end of season one and we would not go in until the beginning of season two which has frustrated people a little and I totally get that. I would be frustrated too, but if we had shown them just a little bit of what was in the hatch, they’d be 1000 times more frustrated than they were with seeing nothing because it would have made no sense. It would have had no context."

Damon Lindelof on Lost's Magic Numbers: “How far out we thought about the numbers is irrelevant to the fact that they landed in a way that we never, ever imagined. They were always going to be an incredibly important part of the island mythology and all I’ll say is the first three episodes right out of the gate, you’ll have a much clearer understanding of not what they mean but what they do.”

Damon Lindelof on Lost's Indefinite Schedule: “If J.J. and I and Carlton decided we’re done, they would say, ‘Okay, we’re just going to bring somebody else in to run the show.’ That’s what happened to Chris Carter. People look at that show and say, ‘I’m disappointed with the way The X-Files ended’ but Chris Carter wanted to do four seasons and a movie. The movie would have answered everything definitively but Fox said, ‘Great, you can leave the show but we own the show and we’re going to keep doing the show.’He said, ‘I would rather run my own show into the ground than let somebody else do it.’ I respect that. Hopefully they will not make the same mistake with Lost and hopefully we will be able to dig our heels in because we have an ending of the show, we know when it is, we know how many episodes it is, but we have to talk to the powers that be, the people who paid for the show in order to execute that. I think it would be very hard if we did our ending for anybody to come into the show after.”

Personally I have faith he knows what he's doing even if there are his doubters who think otherwise.

did anyone see the preview with just sawyer?...looks damn good....how many seasons do you think this show can go?

the thing about this show that makes me CRAZY is the suspense...i know i know thats the whole point but i was almost tempted to wait until the season is over...have them all taped..and watch them straight through

[LiddyRules]

I did, even with my complaints (stupid new characters, I like my original 14!), I'm still kind of anticipating Season 2. I think the most this show, at the pace it is going now, is 4 if it's lucky. Longer if I get some sort of sense that they're not just wading and something will happen or that there's some overarching sense of idea where the show is going towards.

I didn't see the Sawyer preview but I saw the one with Kate going down the hatch.

Never saw the show before. Got this yesterday and already got through 6 episodes. It's no 24 but a very god show so far.

[JoeyDVDZ]

It's just as good as 24 in it's own way. I CANNOT wait for Sept. 21, when we finally find out what's down that fucking hatch.

You can only get the bonus dvd with the best buy purchase?

Yeah, What he said!

I am sick of all the replays that they have had on this summer - TIVO is primed and ready - bring back LOST! I am a friggin addict to this shit!

The DVD's already come with a killer bonus disk.
The Best Buy exclusive DVD is VERY short with not too much extras to get too worried about missing. Worth getting for free but not worth going out of your way to get it.

As for the 24 vs. Lost thing.... my opinion is that Lost kicks the crap out of 24.
But they're 2 very different shows.
One relies on action and the other relies on mystery while throwing some action in there.

I liked 24 the first season. I thought it was an incredible idea having a show in 'real time'. But how many "longest days of my life" can Jack Bauer have? And you know how every season will end... Jack saves the day.
Its just not for me.

How will Lost end? Is being rescued even going to be part of the show? If so who will be left to be saved? Not one of them is a sure thing to not be killed off before the series comes to an end, not even Jack (even though I don't think he will die).
I love Lost because it makes you think and keeps you guessing and is totally unpredictable.
And John Locke is, in my opinion, THE best TV character ever! His backstory is so tragic and you can't help but feel for the guy, but is he a good guy??
Yea, the long hiatuses kill the momentum of the show and I cannot stand that but thats ABC's fault not the shows.
Season 1 was mostly about exploring the characters.
Somewhere on one of the 'extras' DVD they mention that season 2 will be about them exploring the island... I can't friggen wait!

HINTS FROM E ONLINE ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE HATCH-

Skip this is you don't want to have any hints (although they don't give me any ideas)













they say that what is in the hatch can be called by two names. The first one is 3 letters and starts and ends with letters that are next to each other in the alphabet and the second name starts and ends with the same letter, its not plural and isn't window. Additionally, "some of you were there this morning". Any ideas?? I can't watit to find out what the hell is down there already. I am so ready for new episodes...

[hime]

bathtub? One hint I read said "you're probably looking at it right now".

[LiddyRules]

I heard a suggestion of it being a some sort of TransiT system. and CaB is a form of way to move people.

Personally, my money is down on DissapointmenT.

[Vamp]

that preview was great!
very short and uninformative, but great!
cant wait for season 2

Those previews before told you nothing. I thought ABC was trieing to pull a Survivor rip off before I watched it.

[MalibuPJ]

And John Locke is, in my opinion, THE best TV character ever! His backstory is so tragic and you can't help but feel for the guy, but is he a good guy??

I completely agree. Love me some Locke.

The suspense of S1 was grueling and tedious. For that very reason, I can only watch 24 all at once from downloads by season. Makes me too crazy to wait week to week. Oh, but I shall be tuned in for Lost S2 the same as last year. Week by week.

The preview on the DVD is playing with the theory that they're all really dead . . .

"On the other side of the island . . .

they'll discover . . .

THEY'RE NOT THE SURVIVORS . . .




they thought they were."

[hime]

Well, remember what the radio in the plane said...

[Farside]

The writers explicitly said that they are not dead.

[blackout-]

Well, remember what the radio in the plane said...

yea it said "abc will stretch this show out for another 7 seasons before giving you any real answers, enjoy suckers!"

[hime]

I enjoy it. I showed the first 7 eps to some friends, they enjoyed it. They didn't even get into the really weird shit for another few episodes anyway.

[mascan42]

yea it said "abc will stretch this show out for another 7 seasons before giving you any real answers, enjoy suckers!"
Actually, if you listen closely, when Boone said "We're the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815," the other voice replied, "No, we're the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815." Meaning that the tail section crashed somewhere else on the island and there are more survivors - including Michele Rodriguez and possibly Rose's husband who went to the bathroom just before the crash.

And according to the show's creators, they'e already worked out a plan for the answers to all of the island's secrets, and it calls for the survivors to get off the island at the end of season 4.

[LiddyRules]

I've heard they're planning to stretch it out at least until season 7.

And they changed the audio on the plane. Originally it was a lot more muffled and sounded like "There were no survivors of flight 815" but then they cleared it up to make it "No, we're the survivors of flight 815." And we all know playing with aired audio is wonderful in a show where every prop is looked at as a clue to the big mysteries.

I mean the show is entertaining enough but I don't consider amazing television, I don't have hope mysteries will be solved but I'm enjoying it until I don't.

[mascan42]

SPOILERS AHEAD!

























































OK . . . we've all heard the hints that the producers have been dropping lately: what's in the hatch can be called by two names - one is 3 letters, the first and the last being adjecent in the alphabet, and the second is 7 letters, the first and the last are the same.

Well, word has slipped out from a preview showing of the season premiere, and here are the answers (highlight to view):

The 3 letter word is: MAN

The 7 letter word is: DESMOND

As in, there is a MAN named DESMOND living inside the hatch.

Another clue was, what was in the hatch was something you see all the time, but unlike any you'd seen before. Also, you were probably in one this morning.

And the answer is: AN APARTMENT

Desmond lives in an undergound apartment filled with computers and electronic monitoring equipment.

They've also said that we'll see what it is in episode 1, but won't fully understand it until episode 3. Which means that Desmond will probably be injured by either the explosion or an ensuing struggle when the survivors enter his home, and won't regain consciousness until episode 3, when he'll explain what he's doing there.

[Abysmul]

Damn, I shouldn't have read that!!!!! :icon_mad:

[LiddyRules]

Terry should have won over Shatner, even though I like Boston Legal and Shatner on it. O'Quinn was definitely one of THE performances of the year in any medium.

[IDontCare05]

I can't wait until wednesday!!! It is going to be great.....

[hime]

Well, the closed captioning was supposedly put on incorrectly. I had to rewind that scene like 5 times and finally turned on the closed captioning to get "there were no survivors", but supposedly "we're the survivors" was the intended message... *shrug*

I'm probably going deaf, but it seems like a lot of TV these days, people are talking too quick and too quiet and I'm having to go back with the closed captioning on.
