Who wants to discuss Lost? For those who didn't see it, don't look!!!

***Possible Spoilers for those who missed it***

I loved last nights episode. I loved seeing Katy Segal as she is such a great actress.

Leap of faith.... that was so good. now we are going to be wondering is it or isn't true. I love it.

Is it a mind game or not, but those numbers make me think it isn't. It is too weird! :shrug:

Furthermore if they ever had the chance to get off the island.... would they be able to get far enough away from whatever would happen in 108 minutes.

But for Locke to pose it as a Leap of Faith for Jack to push the button is kind of backwards for me. Wouldn't it be more of a leap of faith to not push the button? But I guess for Jack who is more of a realist, pragmatist, scientist, if I can't see it it isn't there kind of person maybe it was a leap of faith for him.

Very interesting!

It would have been a leap of faith for Locke NOT to push the button and it was a leap of faith for Jack to push it. I know Hurley is freaking out. Just when he thought things were getting back to normal.... And what about Ana Lucia faking Sawyer and them out in the trap?

Saw that about Ana Lucia psyching Sawyer out - plays to his weakness I guess as he thinks he can get away with almost anything by being a lady's man. Unfortunately my dad called me early in the show and I missed a lot (just the audio) of what was going on. Did it give more clues as to who the people are? I missed that unfortunately.

survivors. Did you see the previews for next week?

Are they really other survivors of the plane crash? I know that she knew the flight information but did any of the others make mention of the flight and plane crash. Because I didn't see or rather hear that first part I'm not totally bought into the fact that they are survivors.

If they are though it could be so interesting - to see how different people would survive the same crash - some are ruthless (like our president) and others work on forming a community. It will get way way interesting with the good guys (or who we equate to being good guys at this moment) with access and knowledge about what the capsule guy said and his food stash. There is going to be a big power struggle over that food. If Jack tries to go cautious on them and let's dole out food in measured allotments I'm sure that other group of survivors (or whoever they are) are going to try to divide the group. Maybe that is part of the scientific experiment.

I also think the other group is going to end up killing the capsule guy.

I love the show - so many possibilities.

the survivors just b/c of her encounter with Jack before the flight last season. But the other people could be anyone I suppose. There is certainly going to be some food issues and I think some trust issues. The part where Jin was speaking complete and accent free English in the previews got me. But it is probably some sort of dream or flashback (since he looked so clean).

I think the Planetail Survivors probably do this to any new people they come across, in order to figure out who they are. I imagine that they've had a lot more trouble from the Others than our friends from Season 1. If the people they encounter turn out to be Others, they probably meet somewhat less-than-happy fates. But I think next week the Raftaways are going to be released, and Michael is going to begin his search for Walt while Sawyer and Jin lead the Planetail Survivors back to the beach camp or the caves.

There are guava, avocado, coconut palms all over that island. Plus they can fish.

They want "real" food instead of just what they've been using to survive.

Something has happened that they aren't able to get to the button in time. The last few seconds of the clock tick down. The last number flips from 1 to 0...

Cut to black screen...

The "LOST" logo floats up onto the screen...

And we have to wait until Season 3 to see what happens.

than when we had to wait to see what was in the hatch!!!

I think this show is great. Everyone here talks about the WW and how great Sorkin is. Who are/is the writer for Lost?

know how to keep us wanting to tune back in!!

He wrote that great "Walkabout" episode, where we start to get Locke's backstory.

Don't know his role in this year's episodes.

Though not sole writers I wouldn't imagine.

EDIT: Wikipedia knows all:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episodes_of_Lost_%28Season_1%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episodes_of_Lost_%28Season_2%29

Lists the episodes and mentions the writers for each.

I just like watching good shows like this and am not at all familiar with writers etc.

As for the rest, you might want to try looking them up on www.imdb.com or www.tv.com

If you want a good show to check out, I recommend Càrnivale. It got cancelled after the second season, sadly, but it was an amazing show. Really creepy, lots of mystery, extremely well done show.

:hi:

:hi: Any dreams of snakes eating any gators lately?

But if I can make it to bedtime without any more über-grossness, I will be a happy bunny! :puke:

How come that dude who fled the quarintine chamber couldn't figure out how to get the power back on? Not that it was the only obstacle to fixing the pc.

He kind of got there the same way the other survivors did. And people said that was a snake on the emblem and it was a swan.

If they gave this facility a unique designation, doesn't that mean that other Dharama "Lost" stations exist as well?

Jay

I didn't see that.

There were 3 all together right?

MSouth Pole and Equator? :shrug: I think we will find out eventually.

Jay

The Swan is Station 3, but did they actually say how many there were? (I'm too lazy to watch the episode again.)

:shrug:

I think.

Might be connected to the plane crash

Perhaps this may be part of a plot to repopulate the island

It seemed like quite a few.

...what's her name again? I haven't seen her in awhile (though I'm working at a bar with the show on each week, trying to catch what I can, so I miss a lot).

"We're gonna have to watch that again."

that guy "Shaft"!

also "See you in another life, brother."

is a POS!!! That was the same thing Desmond said to him last time in the stadium!

and I wonder if Alvar Hanso is Locke's dad...

and if past performance is any guide, when we find out what happened it will open up three or four new questions...

leads to more questions!

There is a hidden link to the dharma project but it goes no where just yet.

and worked on the scientific front to create a brighter future for all humanity. Sounds like in his core a guy with a very big heart - show can also go in the direction of when good intentions go bad or good intentions taken to such an extent end up bad.

but this line is interesting

After the War, Hanso became the leading purveyor of high-technology armaments to NATO.


My own theory about what has happened is that soemtime during the war, with the increased activity in the pacific and electromagnet anomolay was discovered on the island. Notes were made and passed on to the scientists and Hanso's people discovered it and went there to study it and awoke something.

This ties in a bit with the plot of the comic book that Walt was reading.
It's worth any Lostians time to check out the details of that book.

You can go here

and click on Walt's comic book and read the whole thing. In english fortunately.

I love it - this is smart TV.

the same guy who pretended to be Locke's dad and stole his kidney? There's a vague resemblence...

What if "Lost" itself is nothing more than an elaborate behavorial experiment? Something put on television to see how people react to the mystery, and what kind of communities they form in order to solve the mystery among themselves. The theories that they come up with, their justifications for those theories, their arguments...all of it could be an incredible wealth of information for sociologists and psychologists...

Okay, now I'm feeling creeped out...

I still think Alvar Hanso, the man behind the Dharma Initiative, is Locke's father.

But one thing you can't say about Locke's father is that he is philanthropic.

That and Hanso seems to be one of the uber rich not just super rich. Plus he may be a bit older.

I think Locke's dad is the single most evil person yet depicted on the show. I so wanted Locke to fire up his car while Daddy was in it and ram it into the nearest wall.

"Everybody gets conned. Get over it."

By the way, on another website, somebody said the shark from last week's episode had the Dharma logo on it's tail...anybody else see that?

Someone else I talk about the show with also said that he saw I-Ching hexagrams incorporated in the logo. I didn't notice the hexagrams, I'll have to look at that again.

I wouldn't be surprised by anything at this point....

Have you seen this?

http://www.oceanic-air.com/

Almost more than anything else. Although the Ana Lucia twist did throw me.

but what he said: "Everything is going to change."

erm...

:scared:

someone else's dream) b/c it would just be too much for he and Sun to speak English and not know about the other.

How did he get away from "The Others" in the first place?

Jay

ON EDIT: I feel a bit cheated that they gave this away in a preview.:mad:

They want us to think all kinds of crazy stuff, and make sure we tune back in the next show. I wish they wouldn't have given that away either!

She would have made a bad covert op. She was real squirrelly and all she did was ask questions in the pit.

gripped me as much as this one. Jin speaking perfect English was creepy but, like others said, it may have been a flashback or a dream or what they sometimes do in movies when the action takes place using a foreign language (that is, have the characters speak a little in the foreign tongue then seamlessly switch into English).

Because that's one thing they set out to do that made Season 1 so great: Not dumbing it down for the audience. When everyone who was present could understand Korean, then Korean was spoken, with subtitles. When no everyone who was present could understand Korean, then Korean was spoken, without subtitles.

I think it may be a dream sequence, or maybe who knows? Jin might actually speak English and be fooling everybody just like Sun was.

I remember in the episode where we met his childhood sweetheart, they used that truck

I'm thinking along the lines of the whole thing being a supra-reality program/project/gameshow. Kind of like the Micheal Douglas film "The Game" or "Survivor" on crack.

I don't have a freakin' clue.

Yes?
