I watch Lost, but sometimes it pisses me off. It's like the writers keep coming out with new mysteries like there is no tomorrow. It's as if "not only are they stranded on an island, not only do they have a whole bunch of shit to worry about, there are now DINOSAURS on the island!"

this is J.J. Abrahms' M.O.
alias started sucking after the first 3 seasons too
and he would throw that rimbauldi shit out there and then forget about it for half a season

I think Abrams is too busy with other projects to worry about the quality of Lost. The day-to-day producers and the writers on the other hand... At least they (the writers) have promised that everything on the island is actually happening, and there won't be some kind of "it was all a dream" conclusion. But that also makes it more dependent on sci-fi logic and suspension of disbelief. There's a lot of story arcs taking place at the same time too, maybe too many, some of them hasn't been revisited in a very long time.

That would be 100 episodes, but that's not a great rule these days. Although Lost isn't your typical candidate for off-network syndication (as opposed to Seinfeld, where the episodes are independent of each other), I'm sure it'll find its way there, 100 episodes or not.

Lost and 24 are the only ones I watch, any other worth watching?
I rented the first 3 seasons of alias and watched them in one week, it was kind of an overload. I liked it, but I haven't seen anymore.
What else is there, prision break?

did abrams really want to do mi 3 ?????


i read where on imdb many felt abrams re-hashed plenty of things from alias but not as good for mi 3 ??? how do you feel ???


i also read abrams was sort of pressured/harassed/cajoled(sp??) into it??? or maybe he just wanted the money but was he really interested ???

oh.....


anyway seems you could be right about the bond/new begining thing. i may find out soon.....

I love heroes.. the asian is my fav.. "HARRO NEW YORK" i pissed my pants "Mr Isuck" *sigh* i love that kid

i think ben is grooming jack to take over

No... Jack is on a level of awesome beyond our comprehension. He has a way of saying Fuck You, that you don't realize what he's said until a minute after.


But I don't think he'll replace Ben.

Bai Ling is disgusting.

Hmm where's the puking green smiley...

Tonight is going to be awesome!


How about that new show The Black Donnellys? The season premier was on after Heroes. I think it's awesome.

No more Bai Ling, that's always something. The meteor crash was pretty funny!

all right so the end of 24 was just plain stupid
why did the russian dude need to leave the room jack was in?
i hate shit like that

And Jack is just plain stupid to begin with, he knows everyone is just waiting for him outside, and he just walks out? Arg

Surviving 2 years of Chinese prison camp torture will give you that false sense of Superman-superiority...

But getting caught in general is at least a realistic outcome, and it gives the writers/directors a chance to infuse some new torture and action scenes, now that CTU is about to storm the place. Although the latter would probably not happen in real life.

Oh, I'm sure they will at least try, CTU will have 20 guys storm the place just before his finger is lost (around hour:34), the Russians won't have a clue until it's too late. "Is that the sound of a helicopter right above this house?"

That's cool. I wonder how many colleges have celebrity commencement speakers of that caliber, every year. I haven't decided how I feel about it. It's obviously a waste of money, but also a boost in publicity. Plus it's cool to be able to say that you received your papers from <<"insert name">>. Not that it really matters at all. Haha.

You went to Harvard?

But you didn't get your degree from Ali G?

Hahaha.

I love Harvard Square/Cambridge. Great restaurants and atmosphere. I'll always be the feeling of Sunday for me.

North Jersey has a lot of good ethnic food. Not to mention the city a tunnel or bridge hop away.

Are you italian real?

when is f#$@ing charlie going to die... arg
this was a good one, claire and jack, what the hell
football? what is going on!

That's what you think, turns out they're not really in an island, they've been shrunk and live in a backyard of a giant's house, that's coming in season 4

Jesus Christ... I might have to give up on Lost if they don't get their shit together. Too many other good shows that are actually worth watching.

Look for Jack kissing/having sex with Claire, that's when you'll know they're fishing for shock value, and the show has jumped the shark.

"So why don't you imagine yourself a ver big submarine out of that box" haha.

John Locke is cool, and either very smart or an idiot.

You'd use the chocolate syrup with her ass?

Locke keeps getting played over and over.

They know a lot stuff about all the crash survivors. Maybe the island has a data bank somewhere, and the monster is its probe.

right
and while the details are quantitatively extensive
they are not omniscient details
they are details that could be gleaned with a minimal amount of work
the others are acting like fortune tellers/con-artists
using the information they have to give the impression they are all-knowing
and more in control than they really are

Finally a good, well written episode. It didn't advance the story, but I really liked the poetic justice of it all. What a great way to kill off two characters.

i'm not sure they are dead

They'll be dead by next episode hahah!

But I was thinking, only 80 days have passed, this was episode 61, so Lost is, in some aspects, on a daily basis, much more eventful than 24.

Sawyer is probably my favorite character, he's such a proud loser, but I don't think there will be enough time for him to become much of a leader. Although Jack & Co. probably won't be getting back to the beach in the next few episodes, if at all, until the end of the season.

"They left her behind too." I wonder if they really did, in the sense that they abandoned her. It seems like a no brainer, that they would leave her behind (or even fake the whole departure) so that she can infiltrate their camp. But on the other hand, it's not like they're not in full control of the beach people anyway, they wouldn't need someone on the inside to get whoever or whatever info they wanted at this point.

I think Kate feels like she knows Jack because she's in love with him. But it's true that a lot of the info the Others possess would be somewhat easy to obtain if you have people outside of the island. There are so many missing pieces in the plot that it's impossible to know anything for sure, unless they blatantly reveal it to you. Like the relationship between the Dharma project and the Others. Supposedly they're not the same people, but how did the other (either of them) get so many buildings and stuff going if one of them was already there? Or was it all built by the Dharma people, they somehow died/abandonded the island, and the Others assimilated their buildings? The opposite has been insinuated, with Ben being born on the island, the Dharma people came and installed their hatches, the Others dealt with them. The highest ranking person of the Others, Isabel, must be on a 3rd island, or on the prison island, if it's huge. So many questions, so few answers.

The monster does seem to appear at the same place haha! If the Others built that defense against the monster, maybe it killed all the Dharma people, whenever they went outside.

Where do the Others get their food? There must be a huge supply of toast and other sandwich condiments somewhere. Or maybe Juliet pulls it out of her ass.

Yeah, from/for the Dharma team, now, since they know their stations have been compromised, maybe that will stop and forces will land on the island. But what I meant was that there has to be a storage room where they keep their food, similar to what was in the hatch. They should scour that before they leave the area. The Others must have their own food supply chain, if they were there before the Dharma people, maybe they filled up that submarine with ham and cheese.

Ah, I see. I read that as "Jack screwing on the beach with w/Juliette." No, I never watch previews. For Lost, 24, or any other show. Maybe I would if they were included with the download, or if I watched it on tv. But sometimes the episodes are so boring, especially of 24, so watching a preview would take away whatever little that was left. Sayid should definitely torture her. He's like the Jack Bauer of Lost. Did they have food with them? Juliet is kind of useless otherwise, unless they eat her.

Ben said he was born in the island, that would be an interesting flashback

What a bitch! I guess she could be double crossing Ben too, but she seems desperate to get off the island. Either way she deserves to be the next casualty of the black smoke. Or a deep dark hole in the ground, with spikes at the bottom.

Oh, and I watched the preview for this past episode. I'm glad I didn't watch it until after I saw the episode, it totally takes away any kind of suspense.

Well now we know why she was brought to the island. Although half of her story was a lie, they did kidnap claire and implanted something on her.
And how was ben born in the island if all the pregnant women die? That's another lie probably. So many lies.

The French woman said at some point that her husband went mad and everyone got sick and this and that, you think Ben is him?

I don't think Ben was Danielle's husband. I thought she said it was a troop of French scientists..

But also I think Alex was 219% kidnapped, and that's why Ben is calling her his daughter. If Badass Crazy Frech Lady thinks she killed someone, it's fair to say her job was thourough.

Maybe she's just an illusion created by the Dharma to kill intruders and further confuse them.

Didn't she give birth on the island? What's that all about then.. was she the last mother there to be able to have a live baby?

You're right. About the mothers dying, not the babies. Sorry.

So if Danielle was inpregnated far from the island and so was Claire, why did Juliet have to give Claire the injection? She didn't have the serum made until just before she gave it to Claire, right? So then, I guess I just don't undestand why they would have to inject Claire knowing that it was possible for a child to be born if the conception was away from the island.

I'll stop now. It's mind boggling, hence the appeal.

Juliet giving Claire the injection, in the last episode, was just smoke and mirrors. It was an antidote to whatever they had given her to trigger that reaction, it was all set up, and not because of some disease or complication. Which is silly, because it's pretty far fetched, planning that far ahead (injecting Claire with the trigger) would be really hard. We don't know if what she told them is true, that Ethan had been injecting Claire the whole time in secrecy. The injections Desmond was taking before was also just a placebo, to keep him believing that it was dangerous to be outside. I don't think they had been injecting Claire with Desmond's serum.

It was the baby. But the baby had the flu. And Desmond's serum has been shown to be a placebo pill.
