Truth. I read that they were thinking about kids but are holding off until the show is done. The last plot twist we need is Kate being preggers for 3 seasons along with Sun.

I never liked Jack, but I atleast tolerated him and saw things from his perspective in season 1. This season I could give a fuck less about him with all his bitching and ordering around. I'm not overly mad about that, though. They made Locke so fascinating when I thought they couldn't do anything more with him.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I find it to be a pain in the ass when they ignore it. Other than that, I'm completely fascinated by it like I am with the statue.

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

It makes a big appearance in the episode The 23rd Psalm, but that's about it, unfortunately.

Thread revival liek wut:



Sweet looking poster. Everybody's eyes look fake, but I can't help but say "wow how cool they all look."

Only 2 more months!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Damn it, hold on...

The pic is a dead link on the site too. I'll re-link it when it comes back up.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The opening sequence might have been the coolest sequence in that entire show's history. That threw me off SO MUCH.

The rest of the episode was cool, but a bit of a disappointment. I was hoping to find out more, but ah well. It was a nice set up. I'm interested to see what will happen to our friends over there with The Others.

FELIPE NO

In season 2 we sorta find out why Jack and Sarah break up...

Spoiler:

Sarah says she's seeing somebody else after Jack admits to making out with a patient's daughter.

Also, did anyone catch this?

Spoiler:

When Zeke tells Sawyer "the bears did it in 2 hours," I think he's referring to polar bears!

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

The thing between Jack and his dad is an example of the useless drama this show spews forth. Don't get me wrong, it has some fantastic character drama and situations, but this is not an example of one. I'll elaborate-

Spoiler:

Jack's dad could have very very easily said "we are not having an affair, she is helping me with my drinking" or something to that effect. Instead, they have him say "let it go" and all this stuff to make you think he is, then it's supposed to be a dramatic reveal when he it turns out he's not. I dunno, I look at, you know, real life situations and I just do not see these character interactions being realistic at all. People give me shit for having a problem with that, but it's something that has bugged me since season 2.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's really the only problem I have with the show. Everything else is great, but the drama feels so forced and unrealistic. There's enough drama to go around with the fact that they're trapped on this crazy island being prodded and probed by The Others, this hatch, and some smoke monster where we don't even need any of the useless lack of communication. It's dramatic enough as it is. The character drama is just plain awful.

Last season it was really bad, especially with the lockdown and the map. Any normal person would have run screaming onto the beach like a lunatic after what happened.

Most amazing jew boots

The only episode that I can remember that had this problem of "no communication between the characters" and having it directly affect the quality of the episode was Fire+Water. Every other instance that people have pointed out (you guys aren't the only ones with this opinion) is just the result of the viewer knowing more than the characters in the show.

I dunno, I think it's unrealistic that a bunch of adults would hold grudges and initiate confrontations like a bunch of middle schoolers. They're constantly starting unrealistic conflicts that are just not needed for a show like this. It's mostly Jack I have the problem with. His stubbornness reminds me of this stupid bitch I had to work with all last year. It's realistic, yeah, but it's piss-poor drama because it's not fueled by anything except Jack's douchebaggery. Now suddenly, EVERYONE is behaving that way. I dunno, that just feels like a cheat or a cop-out to me. It's tiresome.

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

The Red Sox thing literally made me have an orgasm. My god that was AWESOME.

Great episode, overall. Liked it alot more than the premiere. Next week looks to be spectacular as well!

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

My question is, how haven't they seen the other island at all? There's no way that they could have not seen that thing at all this whole time between Michael, Walt, Sawyer in the raft, Desmond and all his misadventures, and Sayid, Sun, and Jin on the sailboat. Based on the view that Sawyer had, it's not exactly that far away.

I called shenanigans on that right away.

How ya doing, buddy?

I was DEVASTATED when Eko died. Literally devastated. He was my favorite character on the show and they fucking offed him for no good reason at all. And to top it off, they killed him in a retarded way. The smoke monster grabbing him and fucking him up? Please. That was absolute bullshit. I really want to hear the explanation for THAT.

Other than that, the episode was brilliant. The bit with Juliette and the TV was so incredibly well done. I think what will happen next episode is that Jack will save Ben, and then Juliette will kill Ben right then and there.

Should be a good finale despite the horrific disappointment with Eko's death

How ya doing, buddy?

I find it depressing that I don't care about the premiere tomorrow. Normally I'd be stoked out of my boots for the premiere, but I just don't care about this show anymore. I think they officially jumped the shark in season 2, and due to that, they completely lost my dedication this past fall with their stupid plot developments, most of which were unnecessary.

Spoiler:

Eko's death, in particular. He had no reason to die, especially considering how fucking lame his death was

Also, the producers are taking the show in the complete wrong direction. This quote in particular put another nail in the coffin for me-

"I think there's a much larger audience that's much more interested in who is Kate going to choose than the details about who Alvar Hanso is."

Ugh, they're so fucking wrong. Supposedly they will start answering some questions, such as what happend to Desmond after the hatch asplosion, but eh, I just don't care. Anyone else feel the same way?

FELIPE NO

I can't even watch when it's on because I'm in class till 10:20 on Wednesday nights, so that doesn't help. Does ABC still offer the shows for free the day after?

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

Looks like any hope of seeing some form of resolution to Michael's story has been thrown by the wayside-

Quote:

Former "Lost" cast member Harold Perrineau has landed a co-starring role on CBS' drama pilot "Demons," says The Hollywood Reporter.

The project, from CBS Paramount Network TV, centers on Gus, an ex-Jesuit priest-psychologist who performs exorcisms. Perrineau will play a priest who has known Gus since seminary and is his confessor, confidante and good friend.

For two seasons, Perrineau co-starred on "Lost" as single father Michael Dawson who sailed off with his son in the show's Season 2 finale.

There has been talk about Perrineau possibly returning to the ABC series, but trade says the sides could not reach an agreement.

To be fair, his story did end in the season 2 finale, but I mean come on. Did it REALLY? He sails off with Walt towards unknown shores, something Desmond has tried repeatedly and FAILED because of some "snowglobe" theory. Who's to say he even made it out alive? This show has so many fucking loose ends it makes me sick.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It was a complete cop-out to the question "what happened to Desmond when the hatch blew on up?" I think more people are wondering how did the hatch become a crater and not kill any of the people inside of it?

The whole time-travel theory is one that I really hope they avoid, because for a show like this that has no answers to its questions, the last thing we need a question that literally can't be answered in regards to how he can physically move through time and space like that.

I dunno, I thought it was a good episode but I'm afraid they keep biting off more than they can chew, and time travel is something that even dedicated time travel movies have trouble explaining.

I also really hope that "what are Jack's tattoos" isn't one of the THREE BIGGEST MYSTERIES, because that's not a fucking mystery, nobody cares except for Jack fangirls (whom all flock to Sawyer anyway). I am interested to see what happened to the kids, but I'm sure all it will do is answer it with another question.

*sigh* oh Lost, where did you go wrong...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My guess is that the thing just caved in on top of itself, but still, as you said, it looks so much smaller than it should. I'd rather hear an explanation from somebody than see it, because if the CG polar bear from the fall season was any indication, it would look like complete shit if they tried to show it.

Quote:

I think if Desmond is able to see ahead on the island, then he's lived it before. He's been through everything on the island before (like in his flashback) and will try and "change" it to no avail?

If that is the answer (that he's lived it before), that would be very tough to explain unless he's actually Jesus Christ... He kinda has Jesus hair going on now that I think about it...

Quote:

Why does everyone care about the kids? ;_;

I don't give a shit about them. They could be dead for all I care. We weren't made to be emotionally attached to them at ALL.

The only reason I care about the kids is because their kidnapping was one of the first weird things to happen on the show back in season 1 when I got hooked in initially. I've always been curious as to what they've been doing with them, and why THEY care so much about them to go out of the way and kidnap all of them.

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

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

Great episode. First time I've been impressed with this show since the first two back in the fall. It felt like a good ol' season 1 episode. No stupid Others bullshit, just good ol' fashioned character development with our favorite bunch of islanders.

Although, god damn, I am so sick of the 2 new survivors they keep trying to push down our throat. Everything they say and do is just SO FORCED. Nothing is natural about them one bit. I was hoping for another Hurley meteor to come and vaporize them.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That was definitely the first good episode in a while, but I totally saw both surprises coming, ie, Locke getting pushed out the window and his dad being on the island. I knew he would be going out the window as soon as he entered the apartment and it was lined with windows. Dead giveaway.

And somehow, I think because I've been watching the show for so long, I just figured his dad would be on the island. As soon as Ben asked for "the man from Talahasee" I knew it. It has sort of lost it's knack for surprising the audience because all the surprises are presented exactly as they always have been, so it makes them very predictable.

Other than that, it was by far the best episode of the season. The show hasn't been this good in a LONG time. Anybody have a link to next week's preview?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

God damn it.

I swear to fucking god if they just

Spoiler:

offed Locke

I will be IRATE.

Other than that, great episode. Now I want to know more about Ben and the ORIGINAL Others. My friend has a theory that the original Others are immortal, or they don't age. Makes sense considering Richard looked the same when Ben was a child except with long, groovy hair.

Also, $100 says Juliette = Anna.

FELIPE NO

Oh man, I can't wait to hear what she thinks.

Spoiler:

My mom thinks Jacob will somehow save Locke, but I don't know... I'm super sketchy about this whole Jacob thing. It seems pretty far fetched. I dunno if you caught it, but during the part where the house shook, you can see a figure in the chair for a few frames. Ugh, I don't know, this show is going all supernatural on us.

How ya doing, buddy?

Okay, here are the two theories that have been thrown around me and my group since the ending-

1. Parallel universe. This would explain Jack's dad being alive. I think that the ending is a cheat, and plays up an alternate dimension sort of thing, and next season we're gonna open up to either Locke stopping the rescue from happening, or Ben being right and the castaways get their shit ruined. The flash-forward parallel universe could be if Jack was right. Season 4 opens with Jack being dead wrong and there's an all-out Dharma/Others/Castaway war.

2. It really did happen, but only a few people get rescued. Those being Jack, Kate, Claire, Aaron, Sawyer, and Ben. Why I think it was them - Jack and Kate for obvious reasons. Sawyer because Kate says "I have to get home, he's waiting." Claire and Aaron because that's what Desmond saw, and Ben because he was in the coffin. Neither friend nor family? Nobody went? Two big signs right there. Sign three - Jack didnt want to leave the island, and Ben is the ONLY one who could get him back. Now, for whatever reason, the other islanders are stuck. Probably because Ben and Locke keep them there because they want to stay.


This episode has completely thrown me for a loop. I don't know where the hell they are going to take it, and I honestly think that either of my theories could work.

I had a few gripes with this episode, like the BIG ANSWER TO DOES JACK LOVE KATE was revealed in the most anti-climactic way possible. He's just like "hey love u k bye lol." COME THE FUCK ON!!! WHERE ARE THE EMOTIONS?!?!?!?!

The other being another magical John Locke escape. First it was the hatch, and now it's the 10-foot fucking grave, complete with fucked legs and a gun shot wound to the gut. I want some answers.

Also, very VERY interesting that Ben mentioned "the temple" when talking to that guy, Richard I think his name was.

Man... This disappointing season has given me one of the more insane season finales ever. Not sure if I like it or not, but it's certainly got my mind moving in circles.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think Mikhail and all the original island inhabitants are immortal somehow. Seriously. That guy can't fucking die.

Also, I felt Charlie's death was extremely anti-climactic. I wanted to see him drown from something he couldn't escape from. While I understand it was a moral choice on his part or whatever, it still didn't feel as emotional as it could have.

"Not Penny's Boat"

Now THAT was interesting. It adds to my parallel universe theory.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
