Dude, Jack took Sawyer's pills without asking first. What a jerk.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Unnecessary in what sense? They don't just put in breaks for kicks; time is needed to shoot new episodes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

24's seasons have a six month gap in-between them. The creators of Lost don't want to make everyone go half a year without new episodes, as the season is not self-contained (unlike that of 24), and all the plot lines are basically ongoing.

I hold other shows to 24's standard. Few can compare.

Uh, good for you... (?)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Look, dude, have a cup of chillax. It's nothing new that many viewers are pissed at Lost for its airing schedule (I personally am not ecstatic about it either), however there are also many that rather have two-week breaks between episodes than six-month breaks between seasons. Besides, looking at the show's ratings, it does seem to get away with it pretty well.

Why didn't Jack and the other dudes speak up and say something like, "Look buddy, we don't wanna be here. We're just trying to survive until we can get off this rock. Maybe since you guys have a boat you wouldn't mind giving us a ride somewhere since you don't want us here anyways."

It wasn't exactly a roundtable discussion type of situation.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Obviously, he meant Aaron. I don't think you can call a mix-up of names a flaw in theory.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Also, pre-emptive spoilers for tonight:

Spoiler:

Well, here it is! Please help by posting any followup posts from insiderscoop today!

ETA he entered it in 3 parts, am adding all 3 parts here

Part 1

We start 13 Days ago when Mike asked Locke for the rifle before setting off to find Walt. After he knocks Locke out he goes to the computer and after a few moments is typing and receiving a message from (?Walt?) He says to travel north along the beach he will come across a big rock with a hole in it. Then he hears Jack and proceeds to lock him in the armory.


Present day


Jack Mike Sawyer and Kate talking about a plan of attack Hurley upset because his friends are not even buried yet. They will have a funeral for Anna and Libby.
Jack wants to bring an army.
Mike insists just the five of them should go us or they’ll hear us coming.
Charlie talks to Claire and gives her the meds and the injection gun he found from the latest delivery of supplies. She is happy he did this for her and Arron.
Eko’s moving into hatch to punch in the numbers.
She says OH MY GOD it’s Micheal. He’s back.

Sawyer gives Sayid a gun and invites him to the battle
Charlie will continue to build church on his own.
Vincent delivers a Heroin statue to Charlie. Vincent leads Charlie back to the Heroin stash. He takes all the statues.

Part 2

The day Mike set out to find Walt he gets captured by Zeke a short while later they catch Kate. When Alex is asked to bring Kate out during the Standoff (Zeke and Jack) Alex asks someone else to bring her out. Alex then asks Mike how Claire and the Baby are doing and was it a boy or a girl?

They Take Mike to the place with the rock with the hole on the cliff which is where the tents are in the promotional pics. It looks like only one set of others are on the island.


Mike is introduced to Mrs. Clue who asks him questions about Walts Early childhood. When age did he start talking? Etc. Mike doesn’t know but this apparently goes on for a week. Until they realize Gale has been captured and they want him back.

He is later given 3 minutes to speak to Walt. They make me take tests he said. Get me out of here dad. They're not who they say they are. Mrs. Clue says that’s enough or we’ll put you back in the room. Walt doesn't like the room whatever it is.

Part 3

They will let Mike and Walt go free if Mike can free Henry and deliver Kate Jack Sawyer and Hurley as well but no one else.
Sawyer and Jack talk about Anna and Sawyer says he screwed her. Jack asks why are you telling me. Sawyer says cause you’re the closest thing I’ve ever had to a friend.

Later when Mike tells Sayid he can’t come with them Sayid puts 2 AND 2 together and tells Jack I think Mike has been compromised. They will let Mike think he is in control of the plan.

Charlie throws all the statues into the ocean they are all intact. Locke is sitting on the beach looking out and sees what he did they exchange a short glance. Carlie goes off to the funeral.

Locke cuts the splint on his leg puts on a backpack and heads out to the jungle without attending the funeral or telling anyone where he’s going. (Possibly to find Henry?)

Claire holds hands with Charlie at the funeral while Hurley is talking about Libby.

Sun looks out to the water and sees ______

Then they all see it

A small sailboat. (My guess is it’s Desmonds since we know he’s in the finale) This is where it ends.

Not even that shocking. I'm super disappointed.

Why do you keep reading spoilers if you want to be surprised?

I agree; Eleo has been complaining about this show for as long as I can remember, and he still keeps watching it. It's the same with Alias. Oh well, what can you do.

Quote:

(Also holy shit I love this show, but where are Locke, Eko and Desmond, and why is Charlie being such a cockknocker about explaining what happened?)

I dunno about Eko and Locke, but it has been revealed in a podcast that at least

Desmond:

Desmond is alive. Though, who knows where he is.

Charlie, it seems, has lost some of his memory or something. Maybe it's because of the EMP? Everyone on the island seemed pretty ''whatever'' about the huge flash of light, maybe it's some psychological effect of it.

I can't say that it's objectively wrong in all possible cases, however I personally believe that a person should have certain priorities. Like, it's probably more productive to try finding another show that you like more, instead of effectively wasting twenty hours on something that you don't really enjoy. Your watching of extremely bad series does not contribute to their getting better. I think it's pretty likely that their level of quality is quite independent from the actions of one (potential) viewer. If they do get better sometime in the future, you will probably hear about it, one way or another, and will be able to start watching the series again. Another way is just watching, say, one out of every five episodes, to see if the quality has improved.

If Eleo, really 'hates the show and wants to destroy it' then it would really make more sense for him to find a better show, and make a thread for it, thus making it more popular, and, ideally, taking some fans away from the boring shit that is Lost.

Of course, this is all just my opinion, and I don't insist that it applies to everyone (or anyone else, for that matter), but at least now you have one subjectively possible way of how it is 'wrong'.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, I'm not really annoyed at anyone here, I just haven't had a lot of sleep tonight... Either way, it's hard for me to compare the two seasons, because I only started watching Lost less than half a year ago, so I saw the whole of first season during a week or two. I would say that the first season was a bit better, but that's largely because I didn't experience the pacing problems that the show has had this year. I dunno. I still like Lost a lot, though, and there have been only a few episodes that I can honestly call boring.

How ya doing, buddy?

• Libby in the hospital! Wait, where's she now?

Well, uhhh, she's in Desmond's flashback, obviously. How can you imply that the writers have forgotten about her, when she was in the very latest episode (as you yourself note it)?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sun is such a bitch. Why did she break the fucking ballerina?

Double Post:
Does she think glass ballerinas grow on trees? Spoiled brat.

Most amazing jew boots

I can't imagine Jack would really consider killing Ben, especially since he tried to save the other Other without any hesitation. I would even say that the whole TV shit was just a test to make Jack choose to save him. Though Ben apparently was not too happy that Jack had seen the x-rays, so I dunno, maybe that bitch really wants him dead.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I think maybe it was ''paraplegic'' (because he was, you see).

It doesn't matter how deep the grave is, because a person cannot breathe while having lungs full of earth. Additionally, she wouldn't exactly be at full digging (or even moving) capacity after just having been paralyzed for eight hours. She was shown opening her eyes only for the dramatic effect.

Also, they were basically killed off because everyone hated them, so I very much doubt they would be brought back as a plot point.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

This was the best Lost episode.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, because he could have closed the door from the... outside. And a facility of that size wouldn't be filled with water very fast in the first place, and Mikhail's thought process of taking a grenade and swimming outside to blow himself up was just ???, so that scene was kinda wacko.

The rest of the episode made up.

Quote:

When Jack says "Go and get my father from upstairs, if he is more drunk than me...." I think he's referring to heaven.

Guy was just hopped up on goofballs, is all.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

News about discontinuation of Crystal Pepsi (an obituary of Crystal Pepsi, if you will).

You don't know if anyone but Jack and Kate got off the island. Maybe they were all killed, and that's why Jack is now a psycho drug addict. And who cares anyway. Did watching Fight Club or Memento give you a psychological trauma too?

I was speaking idiomatically.

She didn't attend it.
