Lost

[werewolfbynight]

I thought the woman who played the sheriff was just coldly menacing. She's not the actress who played the daughter in Mommie Dearest is she? Have I seen her somewhere before or no?
I like the fact that Jack did save Ben the leader and the blonde doctor. Yeah I'd like to see him pay for what he/they've done to the good guys but it's interesting to see that now the 2 doctors, from opposite sides are now a pair. A team. Putting more chinks in the Others armour.
Yeah, what did happen to Michael and his son.
I want to know what those smoke things are.
We'll find out more next week right?:crazy:

And Ethan was their old doctor. Haha.

[Destroyer]

3) I have no idea what the third one is. Maybe it is that the others can leave the island when they want.

KISSfan,

The third question they answered was that the Others live on the same island as the castaways, and only work on the other island. We sorta knew that already, though, since we saw the village at the beginning of season 3.

[GradeCCCP]

Yeah, what did happen to Michael and his son.
I want to know what those smoke things are.


The producers have said that the Walt/Michael storyline will be abandoned for the time being and may resurface late in S4 or S5. As for the smoke, are you referring to the smoke signals that the others let loose before they kidnapped Alex and Walt or the Smoke Monster that terrorized Eko and took Lost underground?

I think the smoke signals will never be explained like much of Lost (the Black Rock slave ship, the giant feet in the sand, Kates horse, Adam and Eve, how the drug plane got there, why characters are intertwined so much in flashbacks, the signifigance of the numbers, the blacklite map......the list could go on and on). I just think it may have been a distraction used by the others.

The general theory on the Smoke Monster is some sort of nano technology (ala Prey) that got loose after "The Incident" I've also heard theories that it can shape shift based on a persons psyche which would explain Kates horse, Hurley's bird, Jacks dad and Eko's visions.

I thought the only interesting thing in last weeks episode was how similar the whispering of the children outside Jacks cage was to the whispering that was heard on the Tailies trek from the other side of the island. Just a thought.

Sorry for the (as usual) awful spelling and grammar.

Did anyone catch last nights episode? What were your thoughts? I thought it had a Season 1t feel to it and really enjoyed it. I had the light/dramatic storylines going on together that made me fall in love with the show initially. Plus next week looks awesome. Eye Patch dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vampy Von Pire]

I'm so bloody behind. I've no idea what's going on these days.

It was a good episode but it wasn't a can't miss episode like the previews said. Hurley is one of my favorite characters so I enjoyed it.

That's ok. The shows moving at a snails pace so you aren't missing much. The ratings are in a nose dive right now so I don't think the show will survive much longer. They are stretching 3 seasons into 5 right now. That could change because of the ratings. I would be surprised if this went past season 4.

[Ravenheart]

It was an okay episode this week.At least it was better then the previous two.Now we know why Hurley is so big though.Cheech is his father so I guess thats why he always has the munchies :lmao:

[Abby Normal]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

yet I still watch!!

[GradeCCCP]

Last nights episode killed (literally for Ms Clue) ! Sorry for the bad humor but does anyone else feel like this show is on a serious upswing especially with that electric fence in next weeks trailer. I'm almost happy that the first 6 episodes this season were awful because all of the good stuff seems to be packed in the last 10 episodes.

[KISS Fan]

I hope it is in an upswing. I liked last night's episode. I am glad they are focusing more on the supporting cast. I heard ABC renewed Lost for another three seasons. I haven't seen anything on it so it could be just a rumor. If they get a commitment from ABC then they will develop the series more and focus the attention away from the survivors on to the people living on the island.

Can anybody do me a solid and summarize last week's epi? My VCR went balls up. Lame.

as I understand, Locke is back?

One mystery solved: 'Lost' to end in 2010
By Gary Levin, USA TODAY

The end is in sight for ABC's acclaimed island mystery Lost, but fans will have to wait until 2010 for all the answers.

In a highly unusual move, the network announces plans today to end the show after three more shortened seasons of 16 episodes each. The episodes will air consecutively, repeat-free, from February to May.

ABC's bold step marks a response to the show's producers, who have been eager to set a finish line to better plot out their convoluted mystery of plane-crash survivors and to placate fans who are frustrated that the show seemed to be vamping its way to a conclusion.

"Among fans there was an unease that they were making an investment in a show that's complicated without any sense of where that's going to lead them," co-creator Damon Lindelof said in an exclusive interview. "From the very beginning, fans and even critics have been saying, 'Are you making it up as you go along?' " which was "a legitimate question."

Now, with a still far-away ending in sight, Lindelof says he and executive producer Carlton Cuse have "specific designs for ending the next two seasons" and promises that with the answer-filled season finale May 23, viewers "will begin to get an idea of what that design will be, and it will not be at all what they expect."

The finale completed filming in Hawaii on Saturday, a day after Lindelof and Cuse signed new contracts that will keep them working on Lost exclusively for the duration. With 48 more episodes due, the show will have completed 60% of its planned six-season run.

"It's practically unprecedented in network TV to announce the end of a show this far out," Cuse says.

ABC Entertainment president Steve McPherson says the unusual long-term commitment is "a unique situation" he would be unlikely to repeat for other series. "It's one of the best shows that's ever been on," he says. "It's got brilliant storytelling, incredible character work, and takes chances beyond anything that's on the air now."

With Desperate Housewives, Lost re-energized ABC in fall 2004 and became a top 10 series. But after two time-slot switches, interruptions for low-rated repeats and a mystery that tried the patience of some fans, Lost has lost some steam. Ratings are down about 14% this season, though Lost still ranks highly among young adults and is the most heavily recorded show on DVRs.

McPherson concedes that splitting the current third season in two "was not the best for the show" and says the network also is discussing a return to an earlier time slot to draw more family viewership.

Shorter seasons will allow plots to be more tightly constructed and "will make it a real event," Lindelof says. "We won't have to do episodes where people are standing on the beach looking at the water and wondering what's going to happen next."

Will Lost risk losing fans' interest with an eight-month lag? "People wait longer than eight months for the next books and films in the Harry Potter story and they don't seem to lose interest," Cuse says. "We have faith that our audience, knowing exactly how much of the story we have left, is going to be with us for the rest of the ride."

But, Lindelof says, "the last five minutes of (this month's) finale are going to seal our fate."

[Dread]

What I heard was that it was all Brian K Vaughn's doing on the first day of the job as head of the writer's room. He's an awesome writer and deserves all the kudos he gets.

I still need that last episode summary though...

[KISS Fan]

I was hoping they would end it next season. Now I wonder if I should waste my time keeping up with the show or just end it now. This season has been so bad that it I think the season finale with the others will end with a major cast member being killed off. It is pretty obvious that Charlie will be killed off this season because they have been hinting about it all season. But I think they will kill someone else off too.

[werewolfbynight]

Can anybody do me a solid and summarize last week's epi? My VCR went balls up. Lame.

as I understand, Locke is back?

They do repeat the week before's episode an hour before the new one every week. You can see it twice each night. It's on I think CHCH, Kitchener channel and another one.
*Messy spoilers.
If you want to know, here's what I remember:

Locke came back. He convinced Sawyer that he had Ben, the Other's leader tied up in the forest. Locke wanted Sawyer to kill him but Sawyer said no, but reluctantly went anyway.

It wasn't Ben there, it was Locke's father. Tricked into a locked room with him, he finds out that Locke's Dad had slept with his Mom and stolen his family's money. (Sawyer had written that revenge letter to him and taken his "name". Tom Sawyer was an alias that Locke's Dad had used when scamming married women out of the money.) Which led to Sawyer's Dad killing his Mom and then himself. Sawyer went ballistic and strangled Locke's Dad to death.

Which is what Locke wanted. Ben had made some kind of "deal" with Locke. Locke was to kill his father if he wanted to continue following Ben and his flock.(What I can't understand is why Locke doesn't whack Ben. Even though he gave him revenge, kind of? Will that come now with Dad's death?)

Sawyer went back to camp. Locke picked up the body and was on his way to the Others. Ben had told him not to come unless he was carrying his body on his back. Ben had tried to make Locke kill his father back in the Other's camp, but he could not bring himself to shoot him.

The French woman(forget) with the rifle now has some dynamite, taken from the same building as Locke and Sawyer were in.

Locke had told Sawyer that the Others would be coming for the baby and the new mothers, in a few days. As Juliette, the Others doctor, had done tests on the babies etc. and found out that Jun is pregnant from being on the Island.

The female parachutist from the helicopter, survived and they've found out she has a working radio type thing. They had questioned the fact that did they see a helicopter, or was it a faked "accident".

Yes. Also. The parachutist and Locke senior both said that the plane carrying the everybody had crashed and been found in water. It was on the news etc. and supposedly real. Plane found and bodies found. So how or where in the hell were they, Locke's Dad had asked. Hinting at being in Hell or purgatory. WHERE? WTF.
She is now in the good guys camp in a tent.

Kate had gone to talk to Jack alone about the fact that the parachutist had come to camp. But Juliette was there and Kate wanted to talk to him alone. Jack said "Anything you say to me, she can be here for too." Kate blurted out that the woman was in the tent and everybody couldn't trust Jack anymore, mostly cuz of Juliette.
Juliette had then said to Jack that "We should tell her". Alluding to the fact that they know a secret or something important. Probably that the camp will be attacked and the babies taken etc.

-So this is a messed up recap. Sorry for that, but it's coming back to me in bits and pieces.

I liked this episode. It puts closure on the Locke's Dad issue mostly. It gives me answers and more questions.
It brings up more tension and the fact that you can't believe or trust anybody on that island. I was thinking, who would I trust the most there? Who did I know the most character wise. Sawyer had now killed(justifiably basically). Jack was in cahoots with Juliette and the Others. Locke was screwed mentally and with the Others.

[Black Wings]

Clarification on some of the spoilers:

Locke came back. He convinced Sawyer that he had Ben, the Other's leader tied up in the forest. Locke wanted Sawyer to kill him but Sawyer said no, but reluctantly went anyway.

While Sawyer refused to kill him, he wanted to be led to Ben so that he could return him to the camp.

It wasn't Ben there, it was Locke's father. Tricked into a locked room with him, he finds out that Locke's Dad had slept with his Mom and stolen his family's money. (Sawyer had written that revenge letter to him and taken his "name". Tom Sawyer was an alias that Locke's Dad had used when scamming married women out of the money.) Which led to Sawyer's Dad killing his Mom and then himself. Sawyer went ballistic and strangled Locke's Dad to death.

Sawyer went back to camp. Locke picked up the body and was on his way to the Others. Ben had told him not to come unless he was carrying his body on his back. Ben had tried to make Locke kill his father back in the Other's camp, but he could not bring himself to shoot him.

Stab him, actually. It was his knife that Ben wanted Locke to kill his father with.

The French woman(forget) with the rifle now has some dynamite, taken from the same building as Locke and Sawyer were in.

Rouseau is the French woman's name. All of this took place at The Black Rock, inside the old ship where they had gotten dynamite at the end of Season 1. Rouseau walked in and found Locke sitting in front of the door where he had locked Sawyer in with his father. There was a pretty tense conversation between Locke and Rouseau where Locke basically refused to explain what he was doing.

Locke had told Sawyer that the Others would be coming for the baby and the new mothers, in a few days. As Juliette, the Others doctor, had done tests on the babies etc. and found out that Jun is pregnant from being on the Island.

He means Sun. And he gave him the tape recorder that Juliette had recorded information on for Ben. Locke had found Ben listening to it earlier in the episode.

Kate had gone to talk to Jack alone about the fact that the parachutist had come to camp. But Juliette was there and Kate wanted to talk to him alone. Jack said "Anything you say to me, she can be here for too." Kate blurted out that the woman was in the tent and everybody couldn't trust Jack anymore, mostly cuz of Juliette.
Juliette had then said to Jack that "We should tell her". Alluding to the fact that they know a secret or something important. Probably that the camp will be attacked and the babies taken etc.

Kate got really pissed when Jack wouldn't talk to her w/o Juliette. If I were her I'd have just told him to go fuck himself. Instead, she told him all of the things that everyone else was afraid to let him know about. I expect Kate to be in some hot water for that. Especially after Sawyer gets back with that tape. I'm still curious where Jack's loyalties lie. I haven't seen anything happen between him & Juliette where I think he'd really believe that she's worthy of trust. Maybe he's playing her. Who knows though.

-So this is a messed up recap. Sorry for that, but it's coming back to me in bits and pieces.

Actually, it's really thorough, just a little disjointed. Overall, good job remembering all of this.

Yeah, I miss Eko. Especially as everyone else on the island seems more and more to have their own selfish, secretive agendas. I think he'd have turned out to be a major figure of "good" to oppose Locke, who I think will ultimately do some really, really bad shit. Then again, if Eye Patch Dude can come back from the dead (What's up with that, anyway?) then why not Eko?
I sometimes think they're trying to set up Desmond to replace Eko in their long term plans, but if so, he's a weak substitute.

I actually said the same thing about Desmond replacing Eko a few months ago on page 5 of this thread.

[Black Wings]

I am guessing that the actor that played Mr. Eko wanted out of his contract. They had big plans for him but had to re-write his storyline for another character. That would explain why Desmond has been trying to save Charlie. They have no chemistry but Mr. Eko and Charlie did.

The last episode got the lowest rating for the show in a long time. Lost is a show that is difficult to bring new viewers in and now it is losing some of its regular viewers.

You mean that? I've gotta say, so far as I can tell, I agree with everything you've said in this thread.

[werewolfbynight]

Thanks Black Wings. I was trying to remember all the major points, trying to explain things basically without going on and on. Hit and miss.:lol:

*Spoilers
I saw this week's episode and it was great. Delving into Ben's past was a long time coming.
Locke and the Eye Patch Man-heehee.
Well, poor Locke. He realized, turned and tried to fire just as I realized the danger too. They made me half sympathize with Ben and then took it away with his actions. I thought Locke was being strong again. Returning to his old character ways, until he got shot.
Do you think the happenings in the cabin were real, or a hoax, a fake by Ben? Is Jacob Ben's father? Ben was quite the psycho killing his father and the Others.
So Juliette and Jack will now help Sawyer and Sun keep away the intruders? Is it in Ben's plans or something? Ben seems to have everything fall into place for him. In this episode we see Ben attempt to kill outright twice, from his own hands. Which I didn't know he had in him.

I thought they were staged until I saw those stills of Jacob in the 11 frames that he was visible. Really creepy stuff. Obviously Locke will live to see another episode since he is signed on contractually for the 4th season. I like the idea of Jacob being held captive by Ben and that odd ring of ash is what keeps him confined to the house. Overall, one of the best episodes so far in the series.

Unless Locke's only going to be in the following seasons in flashbacks, the way Boone & Shannon have appeared since their deaths.

Yeah, I taped it Wednesday night and never noticed Jacob. I read he was in there, watched my tape again, paused it at the right time, and sure enough, there he was. No hoax by Ben this time.

Also, Locke healed from being paralyzed because of the island. Does anyone think a gunshot (to where his kidney no longer is, by the way, so no fatal wound) will keep him down for long. My guess is he lays there for a day or so, looks at his midsection, and it's completely healed.

My mind rebels at the thought of someone with an abdominal gun shot wound lying in a mass grave in the middle of a jungle surviving. The wound itself could easily become septic as I'm sure it pierced SOME internal organ, even if only the stomach or intestine. Basically, the contents of whatever organ was hit will spill into the blood stream and cause him to go into shock and die. That's completely ignoring all of the bacteria swarming around in that mass grave and all of the unnamed diseases floating around in that tropical forest all around him. In any normal situation, that would make Locke a goner for sure.

But there are some supernatural elements swarming about the island, so who knows?

I have not scrolled through the thread to avoid spoilers. However, I haven't been interested in Season 3. I missed the season premiere and everyone, even some die-hard Losties, told me it was rubbish. Now, I'm hearing it's good. A little to late for me, 'cause we know it will be on DVD in August/September. I'll catch it then.

[ghoulie55]

"""Spoilers"""
What if what Locke heard in the cabin was a premintion, you can hear "Jacob" say help me.I think Jacob will save Locke. Why would Ben be holding him captive? Did anyone eles notice who the guy was that found a young Ben in the jungle, he was teh same guy that brought Juliet to the island, how the hell has he not aged a single day?

I thought that too. I think it was done on purpose from the way they showed him.

Also I think that Locke will be helped by the Russian guy that he beat up. I also doubt you will see Locke again until next season.

It is good now but most of the season has been shitty. I would say that about six of the 20 episodes so far have been good.

I think the next three seasons will be good just based on that they know when the show will end. They wrote the show for three seasons and I think they stretched it out to make a fourth season leaving a bunch of filler episodes that were just bad.

[Black Wings]

Once Kate & Sawyer escaped from the Others and made it back to the camp, things did get a lot better. But there are still bone headed things done earlier in the season that piss me off. Regardless, I've actually started to care a little bit about what's happening on the show again. I didn't think that was going to happen.

Man the show has rebounded so well in the past 2 months. Its a shame a lot of folks gave up on it. I wrote a op-ed about it on Freezedriedmovies.com (here (http://www.freezedriedmovies.com/blog/index.php?/archives/88-No-Longer-Lost.html)) if anyone's interested. Someone else also just posted a giant theory if those type of things interest you (that one is here (http://www.freezedriedmovies.com/blog/index.php?/archives/95-The-NEW-Ultimate-Lost-Theory!!.html))

If anyone's interested, I've examined the few frames where you see "Jacob" and I know who he is. I'm not posting it here because it's a big spoiler so if you want to know just message me and I'll tell you.

Be warned: I'm absolutely POSITIVE I know who it is. Don't ask unless you really want to know.

Edit: I have no other information besides who it is, so don't ask.

It was a great episode.


Spoilers for those that haven't seen the episode yet.




Looks like they did a flash forward instead of a flashback. Who was it that they talked about dying? Was it Sawyer? I really didn't care much for the way they killed off Charlie. He could have escaped.

I wonder who the people on the boat are. It is funny that Walt looked a lot older. No wonder they took him off the show.

We will have to wait till next year to find out the answers.

That is what it looks like. They all are nobodies where they came from but they are somebody on the island. So next season will be showing them in the realworld with flashbacks from when they were on the island. Maybe how they got off of it.

Interesting that Locke wasn't able to kill anyone but had no problem killing the chic with the phone. Samething with Sawyer. He had issues killing someone but now he is fine with it.

My guess is that only a few of them got off the island and that's why Jack is so wracked with guilt.

As for Locke, he had no problem killing (or trying to kill) the Russian either. I think he and Sawyer were both conflicted about killing his father because he had such an impact on their lives, even if it was a terrible impact.

That was one hell of a finale. Maybe one of the best single episodes ever, of any show.

She is now in the good guys camp in a tent.

Kate had gone to talk to Jack alone about the fact that the parachutist had come to camp. But Juliette was there and Kate wanted to talk to him alone. Jack said "Anything you say to me, she can be here for too." Kate blurted out that the woman was in the tent and everybody couldn't trust Jack anymore, mostly cuz of Juliette.
Juliette had then said to Jack that "We should tell her". Alluding to the fact that they know a secret or something important. Probably that the camp will be attacked and the babies taken etc.

-So this is a messed up recap. Sorry for that, but it's coming back to me in bits and pieces.

I liked this episode. It puts closure on the Locke's Dad issue mostly. It gives me answers and more questions.
It brings up more tension and the fact that you can't believe or trust anybody on that island. I was thinking, who would I trust the most there? Who did I know the most character wise. Sawyer had now killed(justifiably basically). Jack was in cahoots with Juliette and the Others. Locke was screwed mentally and with the Others.


Something I meant to ask: when was it revealed that Locke's dad was on the island? Am I missing something? Last we saw him was season 2 in the Locke/Peg Bundy flashbacks where dad didn't want him, he only wanted his kidney.

He was in a few episodes this season. It was in the episode where Locke flashed back and we saw how he became paralyzed. That was actually a very good episode.

[Ravenheart]

Last night's episode was alot better then I was expecting it to be.I do agree with Kiss Fan about Charlie's death.I was talking about it with a guy at work that watches the show too and we couldn't figure out why he locked himself in the room when he could have walked out the door and sealed it.For a second I thought Desmond was going to be the one that killed Charlie because of the way he looked when Charlie found out the truth about the ship.The last few episodes have been really good so hopefully they can continue the momentum into the next season and get back on track and have the show be as consistently good as it was in its first season.

But he was on the island?

[KISS Fan]

But he was on the island?

Yes. Ben somehow brought him there and kept him tied up. It was a test for Locke to kill him. Locke couldn't do it and found out that his dad had ripped off Sawyers parents. He locked Sawyer and his father up in a room in the pirate ship and when Sawyer found out who he was he killed him.
Locke then took the body back to the Other's camp site and demanded that Ben tell him everything there is to know about the island.

Holy shit! I should have watched that episode. You miss one...

I think I know how the rest of the series is going to work out. I hope not, I want to be surprised. I'll refrain from posting any kind of theories so as not to look like a wingnut.

I just wanted to add that Sawyer gave Locke's Dad his letter he'd wrote to the "scammer", that he had kept for all that time, to read. He started to read it and then he stopped, laughed at him, ripped it up, and Sawyer went APESHIT! He might have killed him anyway, but he did rip up Sawyer's letter which meant so much to him.

[werewolfbynight]

I loved last night's episode too. It was garbage that it was split up between American Idol.
Spoilers-

Yeah, who was the dead person in the casket? Ben? Sawyer? Why was nobody else at the viewing?
The flash forward screwed me up. I thought it was in the past, another part of his life we hadn't seen. Until Kate appears. I didn't like it either. Jack doesn't like it out here. He wants back on the island. Badly. And Kate just goes. She had to get back to her guy. "He'd wonder where she was".

I thought Charlie locked the door to save Desmond from the oncoming grenade. I thought it might have done more damage to it than just blowing in that window. Or that Desmond saw Charlie drown, so Charlie locked it so he would, and would save the rest for sure?

HEY, HEY, way to go Hurley! That was awesome! When all seems lost, he came through.
-I saw last week's episode on the Friday with the show's creators. Where they explain some things. Now we know that the skeleton in the VW is Ben's Dad.

Sawyer killed Tom?(I think that's his name). I think that was a mistake. A bad move. Obviously Tom had not killed the 3, so who knows what would have happened with him alive. I liked his character. He was evil when he took Walt, and I hated him,(haha) but ya know, he didn't kill those 3 when told to.

Jack beat Ben pretty bad, hehe, but he must/could be right about the woman parachuter and the ship. Ben is right that civilization would come, rescue them and take them back to reality. To the garbage that some consider modern society. All the bad. Away from the perfection on the island that Ben loves? Is that what he's so afraid of? Who's Jacob darnit?!?
Will the signal that they sent bring people who want to kill them?

Desmond's girl Penelope had been sent the signal from the underwater building(what do you call it?). Charlie wrote NOT PENNY'S SHIP, or something like that on his hand as the water was past his waist. He then showed Des through the door.
Will he know the meaning? Penelope had appeared on video link after the signal had been sent. She had talked quickly to Charlie, right before the grenade went off, saying she wasn't on a rescue ship, what was he talking about? She knows Des is there now though.


This show drives me crazy.

I loved the 2 women in the underwater bunker. They were wild and a bit crazy. It's too bad they didn't last.

Somebody said a few posts ago that in the flash forward, Jack seems or they all seem to be nobodies now that they're back in the real world. I think I agree with that. Why would Jack be all f'd up on drugs all the time? He wants back so badly?

A woman at my work says that this show is all a figment of Hurley's imagination. She's only half serious as a theory but it could be partly true. Hurley seemed to be imagining that woman on the island he had a romance with? Would his rescue of his friends be part of that imagination too? He won all that money, he's on the island...

So many unanswered questions. Sorry for blabbing but...it's the show that does it to me.

- I think you're last point about Charlie is probably right. He thought Claire wouldn't leave if he didn't die.

- I'm pretty sure Ben told Tom to shoot into the sand. The other guy was telling Tom that ge should have killed them, but Tom countered that he did what Ben told him and faked the killing.

- Jack wants to go back and set things right somehow. I'm bettnig that only some of the folks got off the island and those that were left behind are now dealing with some new threat.

Looks like season 3 will be released on DVD on December 11th.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Ig%2BleBUWL._SS500_.jpg

I will skip it because it wasn't that good of a season.

[FrightReviews]

So somewhere around the 20th of November I will start rewatching Season 2... only "TV on DVD" set I actually watch enough to warrant buying instead of just netflixing. God I love this f-ing show. Shame the ratings went down, i think the 2nd half of Season 3 was just as good as season 1. Hopefully the DVD will get everyone back on board.

[GradeCCCP]

I will skip it because it wasn't that good of a season.

Thanks for the heads up.

I agree that the first few episodes were AWFUL but it really picked up as the season went along. I think that last block of 5 episodes was the most solid in the shows history.
Plus that Clockwork Orange room was pretty scary.

It did pick up and some of the later episodes were the best. Just over all not a very good season. I think it will get better now that they know how many episodes are left.

Thats what I'm hoping for. I really think that the begining of the next season will make or break the series. I'm curious to see how they handle the flash forwards and what exactly these people who are coming to the island will bring. And Jacob! Christ, there is still so much to be answeres. The whole thing is really up in the air and I could see it going a million different directions.

Lets keep our fingers crossed.

[XombiTom]

I found that by the 3rd season, a lot of the immediate danger/mystery of the island was gone. The others weren't a brooding force anymore and revealing so much still kept me intersted, but also disappointed...

I actually didn't watch the show on TV, I rented season 1 over last Christmas and got to watch it all back to back, then rented season 2 and watched it over the month after, then downloaded the first half of season 3, so the only episodes I've actually seen live were the 2nd half of season 3. Don't know if that's a good thing or not, but it did make for a rapid-fire journey through the show, and no having to wait until next week to see it (seriously that half a season was tough!)...

I found the first season was classic and really did have a unknown, supernatural quality to it, and by the 2nd season some of that was replaced by knowledge of what stuff really was, but I was already hooked. The 3rd was really interesting, but I hope they go back to having some things shrouded in mystery again (mystery is different than lying or covering up things on the island)...

[Wednesday]

I've given up on Lost. I stopped watching at the end of Season 2...I just felt like it kept getting worse by the episode. The first season though was absolutely amazing. And the first episode of Season 2 was great-loved the whole Desmond guy living in the hatch.

[werewolfbynight]

I'm looking forward to it, but if I have to wait any longer I'll have forgotten what happened before. I don't like the wait.:saw:

[GradeCCCP]

I still think there is plenty of mystery on the island. Jacob? The Ruins? Jack's father? The Smoke Monster? The Black Rock? Penelope? The Numbers? Walt? The Submarine? How did they get off? (the island that is) These are all still mysteries that we have absolutely no answers for. Personally. I think there is just as much mystery now as there was in Season 1, just now we have some truths to help formulate possible answers to these unknowns. I can't wait for Season 4.

I'm looking forward to it, but if I have to wait any longer I'll have forgotten what happened before. I don't like the wait.

I agree that the wait is getting out of hand but it beats splitting the season up into segments and getting two new episodes per month. I'm happy we'll be getting them all in a straight shot.

I like how season 3 ended even though about half the season was horrible. Season 4 should be good and should start in February. They are only showing 8 episodes until the strike ends.

[GradeCCCP]

They are only showing 8 episodes until the strike ends.

I'm hoping for a swift resolution to the strike because I'm not sure that Lost would be able to handle another extended hiatus. Fans seem to be losing interest rapidly due to the extended breaks between seasons/new episodes.

True but every show is going through the same thing. They will likely have the rest of the episodes run in the summer if there is a quick resolution to the strike.

[The Vault of Horror]

I gave up on this in the middle of last season. Too many questions, not enough answers. There almost seems to be a pathological contempt for the viewer.

[GradeCCCP]

I just read one of the first reviews for S4 and it renewed my excitement for the show. I figured I would pass it along for anyone interested.

There is so much more mystery in the show, the season possibilities could be endless. Especially since the whole flash-forwarding at the end of the season, which is possibly the craziest and coolest idea for a cliffhanger on a show ever.

I can't wait. It sucks that they moved this to Thursday nights. Thursday is when all the shows that I watch are on. I will be able to watch this tonight but I might have to set my DVR for it the rest of the short season.

I hear ya. I only watch The Office and Lost so (although they don't run at conflicting times) it was nice having two nights of TV watching.

[XombiTom]

Anyone catch last season's last episode re-run last night? What was with the crazy notes at the bottom. Sometimes they gave valuable info (for those who haven't maybe seen any episodes), but other times it was like bad chat-room level. Hilarious!

Very much looking forward to seeing what happens tonight though!

My wife got me to watch this on dvd and it sucked me right in. Watched it tonight. It's been so long waiting, kinda forgot how damn good this show is.

It was good tonight. I thought they were going to show two new episodes tonight but the first episode was a recap of the series to date. It looks like they are only going to show eight episodes this season then the next two seasons will be the remaining 40 episodes.

The first question is who will be the Oceanic six that will get rescued? We know it is Kate, Jack, and Hurley but who will be the other three? It looks like they will keep with the flashforwards instead of the flashbacks.

If this isn't going to be a full season like the previous three, I suspect we will have these flashforwards showing what happened back on the island. In this episode, Jack said at the end he was thinking about growing a beard. In that last sequence in Season 3, he had a beard and was contemplating suicide, on the bridge. Perhaps Jack, Kate, and Hurley's lives (and the other three?), are going wrong since they were rescued and the "secret" Hurley hinted at will be revealed slowly and slowly by the Oceanic six in each episode in this season - then Season 5 will revert back to the island?

I don't even know, but this show is brilliant as hell and there is so much more they can do.

I thought the same thing but it was cool seeing the recap.Especially since it was so long since the last episode.It was a pretty good episode but it sucks that its going to be a short season because of the stupid writer's strike.

[Morbidfilm]

I think the fact that they are flash forwarding this season is interesting. Helps in keeping the concept refreshing.

[cognitive77]

Lot of speculation as to who was in the coffin at the funeral Jack went to back in Season 2 I believe. Jack says something to the effect of "Neither friend nor family".

Was Ben one of the six brought back then? Or was it possibly Locke? Also, if Charlie was just a figment of his imagination, then why could the other inmate see Charlie? Also, who's eye was it that we saw in Jacob's hut?

Great start to a new season.

About the coffin, I believe it to be Locke.

I doubt Ben was brought back.

Charlie was a figment of Hurley's imagination. Hurley definitely could imagined the patient saying someone (Charlie) was looking for him, if only to rationalize seeing him in the first place. About the eye, I have no idea. Any ideas?

Lost was good tonight. Nice to see Jeff Fahey playing the pilot. He looked the same when I met him in July.

[Ray Casta]

It's getting better and better!

[GradeCCCP]

Lost has started off really strong this season. There were so many interesting questions raised last night.

How did Charlotte know about the Polar Bear and how did it get to Tunisia?
Who is Ben's spy?
How did the "Freighter Four" have a picture of adult Ben when he has been on the island since his youth?
Who covered up the crash?
Who is that incredibly scary black guy?
Why is the shack so important?

I'm really stoked for the season but bummed that we only have 6 episodes left. I'm also a little concerned that we may have 4 more episodes of the two different groups running around the jungle with no resolution. We'll see.

[Ray Casta]

Since it wasn't a full season, I was almost sure that there would be NO real resolution of how the Oceanic six got off the island - but the events leading UP to getting off the island. Which is going to make things very fascinating - but frustrating at the same time.

They did say that the 8th episode ends in a cliff hanger. I am not sure if they planned it that way or they knew the strike was coming so they wrote in a cliff hanger for that episode.

I am also wondering if Juliette and Ben will get off the island. They wouldn't be counted in the Oceanic six because they weren't on the plane.

[Ray Casta]

I am also racking my brain on just WHY and HOW the Oceanic 6 gets picked.

[Loup Garou]

Last night's episode was pretty good.I've always like the character of Juliet.I've been trying to guess who's returning next week that we won't expect.When I heard that in next week's preview,the first that came to mind was either Walt or Michael.I guess it could also be a flashback dealing with someone thats died.

How many of the Oceanic 6 have been revealed so far?Its only been 4 right? Jack,Kate,Hurley and Sayid.Since next week looks like its going to focus on Jin and Sun,I'm guessing that they're to final 2?

[triefy]

I just wanted to comment that I am catching up with the series. I missed Season 3. Partially because I missed the first 6 episodes and then I heard it was a bad season. Add to that the hiatus and I just decided to catch up sometime on DVD. Well, after everyone telling me how good Season 4 is, I have to do that now. I'm trying to squeeze all of the episodes in before Season 4 comes back on from it's hiatus that it is currently in.

I think Season 3 got a bad rap, but I can see where people were upset. However, I get the feeling that it is pacing itself now - viewers weren't used to that. I just finished the episode Expose. It was the one with Nikki and Paolo where you learn about the diamonds. I loved the episode as it own thing even if it was not necessarily a progressive episode. It also did some nice tie-in's and I think gave us some clues, storytelling wise, on how they might wrap it up. Also, I loved seeing the EC Comic aspect of LOST. It pulled it off quite nicely and I was suprised to hear no one comment on it in the Mortuary.

Shame on you.

Can't wait to catch up!

Last night's episode was pretty good.The only bad thing........we have to wait 2 weeks for the season finale.

[Pseudonymous]

So, did anyone else here check out the 2-hour season premiere the other night? Lots of big, dramatic gestures (SPOILERS with multiple characters dying and or coming back to life), but I was kind of underwhelmed overall. I think the mythology may have become a little too arch for my tastes--I just can't get excited about some sort of final showdown between Jacob and the Man Who Looks Like Locke. On the plus side, I do like what they're doing with the layering of the storylines this season: instead of flashbacks or flash forwards, we get flashes to a reality that seems to be both simultaneous and impossible.

Anyway, I've watched all of the seasons to date, and I'm sure I'll keep watching this one. I hated the beginning of the season that started with Ben playing all sorts of Saw-like torture porn games with Sawyer, Kate, and Jack, but then ended up really like the episodes towards the end of that season. Maybe this last season will also get better as it heads toward its conclusion.

[KISS Fan]

I really liked it. I would like to see them answer some questions but instead they created even more. There is 16 hours left and I just wonder how they will wrap it up.

They answered a few questions.

How did Ben come back to life after Sayid shot him.
What is the temple.
What is the smoke monster (well, mostly.)
What was in the guitar case.
What happened to all those people from the various other ships that have landed on the island, like the Black Rock.

I only felt it asked two questions:

How do the two timelines converge, which I'm sure we'll find out at the end of the season, and What is the true nature of the Others.

[Pseudonymous]

OK, I must have been in a grouchy mood when I saw the season premiere. I watched the second and third episodes last night, both of which I really enjoyed. In particular I'm liking how the alternate universe story lines revisit and revise what we already know about the characters and their backstories. The Locke episode last night has me wanting to rewatch season 1's "Walkabout," which is probably still my favorite episode in the series. Also good to see "Leela" /"Peg" make a return appearance.

I wonder if the lucky version of Hurley won the lottery with these same numbers.
