I noticed the strange little correlation to real-world events. It makes me glad to know that it was more or less set in stone from the time she showed up.

I'd hate to see Libby go. She's sorta likeable even though she was, y'know, in a mental hospital with Hurley and she doesn't really seem to be very open.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Funny you should mention that. Sex scenes = death

I tried as well. Zip on my end. Meh.

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

If not, go to:

- Yes
- Breaking Strain

And it'll show an interesting but pointless clip.

I found the executive bios section to be quite interesting. "Liddy," huh?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Poor Libby.

Well, there goes her importance right out the window. I suppose her reason for being institutionalized could be explained in a future Hurley-centric episode. It's possible that Libby was institutionalized after Hurley, so there could be another episode with flashbacks to the mental hospital that explains why Libby came to be there.

But then why was she in Australia?

I was speaking idiomatically.

In fact, think of it this way. The Pearl itself had a camera. Someone is watching the Pearl. Maybe the Pearl is the psychological experiment, and the button pressing is for real?

The fact that the Pearl's orientation video was on tape instead of film means something. You know what happens when you run a magnet along tape?

If I was Locke, I'd send a message up that tube along the lines of, "Hey, smartasses, get us off this hell of an island!"

Maybe the button pressing is tied to the electromagnet in the Swan.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've never felt so creeped out by a website before.

I felt a little underwhelmed by tonight's episode. The main draw for me was Michael's flashbacks and Walt's reappearance.

As for Michael's illogical course of action, I'd chalk it up to the writers naturally assuming that the viewers will think that The Others told Michael not to tell Jack and the others outright about what he's supposed to do to get Walt back.

Then again, would you willingly walk into the hands of "the enemy" and come up with a suitable plan to thwart them? I think Michael's just acting according to common sense.

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

Maybe she's done her research on the Hanso Foundation and the DHARMA Initiative. She did say that she's got money...

I'd like to know what all the blinding white stuff was. Actually, I'd almost like to know what would've happened if Desmond didn't turn the key.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Libby's presence in the hospital was probably purposely left open-ended for a future Hurley-centric episode.

And what is there to explain for her appearance in Desmond's flashback? She was there and gave him a boat. It's just another one of those crazy Lost-type connections.

Lost and Comic-Con go hand-in-hand, apparently.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=15614

Lost's Comic-Con panel revealed some intriguing pieces of information concerning the third season and beyond.

It's quite a list:

- Season three will have a vastly different feeling, but at the same time reembrace the roots of the series.

- Season three will focus more on adventure.

- The first six episodes in the fall will be like a mini-series and focuses on the captivity story of Jack, Kate and Sawyer.

- We'll learn more about The Others and Alex's story.

- An event will happen mid-season that will blow people away!

- J.J. Abrams will co-write the first episode which is titled "The Tale of Two Cities." He'll also direct the seventh episode, which is the first episode of the second half of the third season (early next year).

- They are going to reveal what happened to Locke, Desmond and Echo.

- They are adding new regular characters, which they are casting for now.

- You'll see more scenes from the outside world (taking place at the same time they are on the island).

- Desmond and Penny's relationship forms a new seed for a new element in the series.

- Libby will be back to fill in the gaps.

- Within the first few episodes Kate "gets with someone".

- They are going to explain the medical miracles.

- They debunked the rumor that the monster is a cloud nanobot.

- The hyroglypics on the countdown clock are signs of the underworld.

- They have 4 to 5 seasons planned out, and they knew the beginning and ending from the start. Going beyond 5 seasons would be stretching it, they said.

- If they introduce a question on the show, they already know the answer.

- They do look at fans' reactions and that does affect how they do things on the show.

- They showed a promo for the 13 "Lost" diaries that will be on Verizon, which featured Hugo finding a camera and interviewing people on the island.

- A "Lost" game from Ubisoft is coming next year which features a new story.

- On the season two DVD, you can expect one feature which has all of Sawyer's famous lines!

And then a couple of days ago TV Guide posted an interview they had with Carlton Cuse. Some of what he said seems to have gotten rehashed in the Comic-Con panel, but it's worth a read nonetheless.

I think that's a tad bit harsh. Personally, I'm amazed at how intricate the details on the show are (not to mention the lack of real plot holes), so one or two mistakes aren't that apocalyptic. The people working on the show are human, after all.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The difference between season 3's gap and season 2's gap is that season 3's gap is planned out. Season 2 was pretty sporadic with the reruns, which annoyed a lot of people, including me. I really like the idea of splitting season 3 into two parts, one six-episode arc and then the remaining episodes airing at a later date with no reruns.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro's been cast. You can read about it here. This certainly ups the eye candy factor of the show.

Oh, yeah. That Comic-Con video is pretty overdone.

edit: Agreed, but what are they filling the gaps with though?

The random insertion of reruns didn't make it any less annoying even though they were announced beforehand.

The show taking Lost's spot is The Nine.

FELIPE NO

More new cast members? Okay!

From ComingSoon.net:

Quote:

Elizabeth Mitchell has joined the cast of ABC's hit drama Lost as a regular, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Mitchell will play Juliet on the hit series from Touchstone TV and studio-based Bad Robot Productions. Details about Mitchell's character are being kept under wraps, but Juliet might be a new love interest for Jack (Matthew Fox).

So, in other words, Jack might be developing quite a libido and they need him to have some sex in order to spice up the show.

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

The opening sequence blew me out of my seat. Damn.

However, a huge issue I had with the episode was the near-constant focus on Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Juliet, and Ben ("Henry"). I mean, come on. There are other cast members, you know. I suspect that they might've conveniently divided up the cast members into groups so that they could film parts of multiple episodes at once, but I found it annoying all the same.

Sarah? Bitch. I can't say I entirely enjoyed watching Jack become an obsessive man over Sarah's new squeeze, but Sarah was so cold towards him. "Look on the bright side: at least now you have something to fix."

The Others continue to baffle me. If they've got such a cushy set-up on the island, why antagonize these people who've been through more than they should in one lifetime?

Hey, at least next week's episode will be exciting.

Spoiler:

Sun actually does something physical! Sun gets shot! Sun falls into the ocean! Yeah for Sun doing more than sitting around and moping!

How ya doing, buddy?

I found tonight's episode slightly boring. The Sun and Jin flashback was kind of nice since it gave closure to the slightly dangling Jae plot thread from season 2, but besides that there wasn't all that much going on.

And then, of course, the episode pulls out all of the stops: the Others are on the island of their own free will? They have contact with the outside world? What the hell?

I get more annoyed with the Others with every passing episode but they're just too damn good a mystery to completely hate.

Oh, and I have to give props to Sun for firing on that woman. That was cool.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Okay, so I guess the weirdo light gave Desmond psychic powers. That's a twist I certainly wasn't expecting at all.

It's nice of the show to revisit the basics of the show, namely the mystery surrounding the island without any of the DHARMA stuff to muck it up. I enjoyed tonight's episode very much (especially since Boone was in it), but there was one thing that really bothered me: what the crap was up with Nikki (Kiele Sanchez) and Paulo (Rodrigo Santoro)? They acted like they've always been on the beach with the other plane survivors and yet the show has never referenced them whatsoever. Locke certainly seems to know who they are, but still. It felt so forced, but perhaps this is just an instance of spotlighting two characters out of the many who survived the plane crash.

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

I guess Nikki and Paulo just feel so weird because we've gone an entire season without randomly plucking characters out of the faceless crowd of plane survivors. I could live with it during the first season, but this is the show's third year (albeit only what, two or so months since the plane crash?), so to see new faces acting like they've always been around is a little jarring.

All of the metaphors sent my brain into overdrive. I can't wait to see if the dream sequence foreshadowed events to come.

Most amazing jew boots

I thought tonight's episode was fairly interesting, the flashback notwithstanding. At least it didn't focus solely on Jack, Sawyer, and Kate like the season premiere. Ugh.

The thought of the Others residing on a completely different island never occurred to me. That seems so odd, too, because the Hydra station is on this new island. Or perhaps the map revealed last season wasn't actually of the island but of the surrounding area?

Oh, and as slightly cheesy as it was, I liked how the writers slipped in the line "Live together, die alone."

I was speaking idiomatically.

What spoiler? I didn't see anything that jumped out at me.

Spoiler:

People are in danger of dying on LOST all the time. I hear speculation or rumors of characters getting offed and I just go, "Oh, well, if that's what must be done."

FELIPE NO

If the monster is able to copy the appearance of other people, what is it?

I can't say that I didn't see Eko's death coming, but the monster reacting negatively to his speech didn't seem to really mesh. I'm guessing that the monster wasn't liking what he was hearing.

I really enjoyed that whole scene where Juliet was talking to Jack while Jack was watching her hold up the cards in the video. I was like, "Heeey, finally, some intrigue!"

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

Kate's flashback gets a big two thumbs up from me. It was nice to see a flashback that wasn't so boring.
