[Movie] LOST

Sassafrass:

Spoiler:

I agree that it is more than likely going to be Eko. But I'm the type of person that reads the end of the book first and goes back to the beginning to see how they get there. I'm more interested on how he dies.

I hope that the way he goes out gives the character dignity, because I'm kind of upset that they pretty much killed all of the tail section besides Bernard...and who knows if he will end up dying one day. Eko is a HUGE fan favorite, probably up there with Locke. They better handle this correctly.

Besides, it might not be Eko at all (for some reason I keep thinking it's Sayid, because what more of his flashback is left?), but it more than likely will be.

Also, what happens in the Pearl station is obviously going to be huge, so I'm looking forward to what occurs there(they've probably shown everything in the preview), but I'm more interested in the gang's reaction.

Double Post:

Spoiler:

The monster is back

Fucking finally.

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

I'm just so ridiculously happy that we finally saw the monster attack. The best part is that it didn't look cheesy at all. In fact, it was really well done.

The entire episode was executed perfectly, and I'm glad that Eko went out in a dramatic fashion. It's too bad, though, since Eko was a great character and complemented with the rest of the cast very well. Eko's flashbacks were usually pretty solid too.

Yeah, we still have absolutely no direction for Season 3 (outside of saving Jack, Sawyer, and Kate), but considering that the episode focused on retracing the shows steps, which were left over from previous seasons, that it didn't really need to.

I just loved the little things in this episode such as the woman telling Eko that he owes his brother a church, and Locke (finally) explaining what he saw when he first encountered the monster.

I don't think the monster is the cause of all the hallucinations (such as Locke's or Walt appearing in front of Shannon), but it's hard to say since we don't know what the monster is exactly doing and why it is doing it. Didn't the map from the blast door say that the "cerberus" system was malfunctioning? Does Desmond have any idea of what the monster may be from Calvin?

One of the interesting things I realized during tonight's episode is how the bodies of Jack's father and now Eko's brother are missing. I wonder why that is.

I'm still willing to give the new characters a chance, but they are starting to just get in the way.

Looking forward to next week, but it'll let me down because I know there is going to be a huge cliff hanger that will bug everyone until it starts up again next year.

Technically, Desmond should already know how the last episode of Lost plays out.

But I'm sure one day we'll be given rules as to how his new powers work or something.

How ya doing, buddy?

Apparently Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Eko) wanted to be written off the show for awhile now, and that they "sped up" his character development. So, it really isn't the writers fault, and I'm glad they did not botch the character at all.

As for the fall finale, it was pretty good, but the cliffhanger was definitely lacking. It was great seeing Jack taking charge, but I guess I hate Kate so fucking much that I'm disappointed that he is even bothering saving her.

Which brings me to my next point: fuck Kate. Out of everyone on the fucking island, I would trust her the fucking least. I would even trust Michael over her. At least Michael knew what he wanted (save Walt), but Kate simply doesn't know what the fuck she wants. God, I'll take Ana Lucia over Kate any fucking day of the week. I will cheer the day she gets eaten by a polar bear or crushed by the monster.

I'm surprised people liked this episode so much. There really wasn't anything different between this episode and the other episodes that people have been complaining about.

The only time the show has been predictable this season was during Sawyer's flashback. Everything else has been pretty well done thus far.

Season 3 has been pretty solid, I just wish we knew where the fuck everything was headed. In six episodes we still have no idea who the Others are and what the fuck they are doing on the island. The Others are getting boring.

In anycase, I wonder who Jacob is, and what it actually means to be on the list. They've been hinting at it for awhile, so I hope they start developing more on the motives of the Others outside of saving Ben.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Akinnuoye-Agbaje supposedly came up with the idea of the Jesus stick, so he is okay in my book.

When (if) they finally explain what happened when Desmond turn the key, I hope Eko will make another small appearance. I don't really want a ghost Eko like Boone is to Locke.

FELIPE NO

The Lost Moments were pretty lame (save for one) so I don't really follow them anymore.

Although I was pretty positive towards the first 6 episodes, the rest of the season better knock my socks off or I'll simply lose interest.

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

Based on the Lost Moments, I don't see how that is possible.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I felt the same way up until yesterday when I started watching the first six episodes of season 3 again. I'm looking forward to Wednesday much more now.

I'm still pretty interested in the show. I still love most of the characters and I feel that Lost has yet to jump the shark (although it has come very close).

As I said earlier, though, the rest of the season better blow me away because I don't see my interest lasting for that much longer at the current pace they are going. Season 3, in my mind, has zero direction as we still have absolutely no idea who the Others actually are.

Every episode (well, for the most part) has to be important if they truly want to end the show at the 100 mark. Which, as we all know, won't happen.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll have to watch that scene again, but I could have sworn it looked like DeGroot. I could be wrong.

A pretty solid episode. Sawyer is slowly turning into my favorite character.

I'm pretty excited for the rest of the season now.

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

It does. And it really is a great hidden clue.

Isn't it possible that they are simply showing where they first entered the hatch and not the entire thing? You know, where they initially blew up the hatch to get in?

In any case, the episode was good, although confusing. The role of that woman in the jewelry shop really should have been clarified, especially if they aren't going to do another flashback like this again. Also, it's obvious from the dialogue between Desmond and that guy in the bar that the writers realize the time travel theme seems impossible, but that they have some sort of idea of where it is going (I hope).

Well, as long as they continue with the strong characters and dialogue I don't care if the answers come slowly.

But I am very confused about what the message of Lost is. If humanity can't change their fate, then why are they even bothering to try and change The Valenzetti Equation? Or will it turn out that we can?

How ya doing, buddy?

All of those are interesting, actually.

Well, besides Jack's tattoos.

I'm looking forward to the "answers."

How ya doing, buddy?

For giving answers, this episode definitely sucked.

But for storytelling, I thought it was pretty good.

Not the best episode, but I enjoyed it.

FELIPE NO

Say what you will about the episode, but don't blame the writers/producers on how ABC promotes the show. I'm pretty sure they have zero input on it.

Most amazing jew boots

The promos said three of the Lost's biggest mysteries will be revealed. I can barely count two. I doubt very much that the producers/writers even intended this to be a "big revelation" episode, and I've heard in their podcast that they were kind up upset about the promo. It pretty much set people up for disappointment.

This is apparent, to me at least, that the advertising team made two or three little things into these giant revelations to try and trick people and get more viewers in.

That's why I said "say what you will about the episode" because I thought the episode was good. But many people (like Midna) are crying foul over the promos and somehow think it was a collaboration between the writers/producers and the advertising department of ABC.

You could say ABC did the best with what they were given, but I disagree. They made things up that weren't intended to be there. That's my point.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You see, for me, the only way to watch this show is on DVD.

I can't imagine watching this show during season 1 on TV. I probably would have given up on it. But with DVDs, I was able to watch it and get the entire story in a weekend. That was such an amazing feeling.

Because, really, season 2 of Lost really is great when you watch it on DVD.

Lost isn't the only show I feel this way about. I have the same opinion of 24. I'm not watching season 6 until it is finally over. The only reason why I decided to watch Lost this season is because I'm really into what is going to happen next and I don't want to be spoiled (too much).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wouldn't put so much stock into the ratings.

Whether it be from Tivoing or downloading for free on Lost's official website, there are plenty of oppurtunities for people to see Lost at a later date. My father records it on his computer, and three other people I know Tivo it. If I had to guess, I would say many people do this. I was close to recording the show last night because I was so tired. People waiting for the DVDs should not be thrown out as a real reason, either.

12 million is still pretty damn good. Granted, it's not 20 million like it use to get, but since there are so many possible explanations the fact that it even got 12 million is amazing to me.

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

Didn't Danielle Rousseau deliver Alex on the island?

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

They will probably not go down that road considering that Sun is already pregnant.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I know it'll never happen, but they really are setting up the death of Jack's character. They've slowly given Sawyer more power over the camp, and Jack's leadership has come into question. If they wanted to, the writers could do this now more than any other time.

If they settle the storyline with his father in the season finale, they could very well kill him off or have him MIA for quite a bit in the series. I love Jack, but I think it would make for great TV to kill off the main character. It would be quite a twist

I don't think there would be much backlash if they pull it off correctly.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Quote:

Ben said he was born on the island a couple episodes back. But in this new episode... We learned that all of the pregnant women on the island died before they could give birth. So... how can that be?

I've thought about Ben and Alex's birth, and I can only assume that the death of pregnant women on the island was a recent problem when they hired Juliette. Perhaps a backlash of their attempt at changing the Valenzetti Equation?

FELIPE NO

Jin's ghost story was, hands down, the best moment of Catch-22.

I'm not even going to touch the Superman Vs. The Flash discussion. That has red herring written all over it.

So I'm guessing with the introduction of this new character that they are going to (finally) address the last moments of the season 2 finale this season. Hopefully they hired a good actress. Don't need another Nikki or Alex running around.

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

I don't have a vast amount of nerd knowledge about the subject, but I'll try and sum it up.

Some are theorizing that the references to Superman and The Flash's super speed abilities are clues to the whole alternate reality or "another world" type explanation on where (or when) the survivors are at. I think the Flash was able to travel to other dimensions because of his speed as well as time travel, and I think most people are aware of Superman's capability to travel through time too.

Then there was that small reference that Hurley made to Sayid in season 2 when they used the radio from the tail section. Sayid said something like the transmission can be coming from anywhere in which Hurley replied "or anytime." Then in the last episode Richard made a reference to Juliette around the lines of time will fly by when you're on the island.

As for the new character, considering that the Catch-22 book was Portuguese and the two guys in the arctic were speaking Portuguese, more than likely Penny sent her to find Desmond.

This is actually a big moment for the show. Very interested to see how it unfolds.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm kind of shocked, because I was really into this episode until the last few minutes. I feel disappointed, and I know that was the opposite feeling that the writers had in mind.

I mean, I understand why they did it, but I just don't know how they are going to format the show for now on. Are they going to completely forget about the last few seconds when they write Season 4 i.e. like they did with everything that was revealed in the Season 2 finale? My guess is yes.

I'll have to watch the episode again, but this is the very first time that I've had a genuine concern for LOST.

I know a lot of people probably loved this finale, but I did not.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm going to agree that Charlie's death was really poorly directed. They tried to make it seem like he sacrificed himself, but it looked as if he could have escaped with Desmond.

Besides that and the last few minutes, this truly was an amazing episode. Mikhail is my favorite character next to Locke.

EDIT: Speaking of Locke, what is going on with him almost shooting himself? The suicide attempt seemed to be a little out of character.

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