New "LOST" thread

[O Town]

I hope next week is better. I was somewhat disappointed tonight.

No way!!! Great episode.

lol - sorry, but I was disappointed. I just wasn't impressed.

To each their own. I was just very satisfied knowing the background history of the other goup. And how that all unfolded over there. The orignal group also had one of the others try to become part of their group. I forgoten his name but he was very creepy. Hurley is the one that figured out from the log on the plane that he was not on the plane. And they ended up shooting him, using Claire as the bait.

Well next week we can get on with the present. See how they will react when all is adventually reunited. It will be intresting to know how the leadership role will end up. When they were showing the preview of next week, didn't someone else get shot? They were asking for the doctor. I kinda missed that.

[Miss Mary]

Here is the direction I hope Lost goes in - both groups merge, which will entail a power struggle Jack vs Ana. You all know who I want to win that battle! Anyway, I wish they'd realize they are stuck there, let's keep the bunker thing going, every 108 minutes in case it's true, but build more permanent structures. Michael is good at that. Our DVR recording missed the last 5 minutes so I'm hoping rumors we heard were true - Walt shows up? In the flesh, not an image? If so, then he and his dad can reunite and then Michael can build those shelters.

I have enjoyed the backstories on my favorite characters but I'm also hoping they pull back some on that. I'd much rather see present time on the island.

The writers sure know how to grab your attention though. I just hated Ana's character. Each week as she was verbally and physically abusing Sawyer, I wanted to smack her. So I was not prepared to like her just a little. That crying jag with Mr Ecko, did it. Okay, the witch can cry. Guess she does have good reason. Ana was great with the kids. Maybe she grew up in an orphange - wait, that will be a backstory coming soon. LOL What I'm trying to say is when we first met Sawyer, you were meant to dislike him. Of course he grew on fans (and isn't hard on the eyes either!). When Ana was first introduced, you were meant to despise her, not just dislike. So now I know she won't become a favorite of mine, those places are filled, but I can see why she's so on edge and bitter.

I still wonder who Mr Ecko ~really~ is. I just don't think he was on the plane. That's my gut feeling. But he broke ties with the others b/c he is a decent person. If he tells Flight 815 Survivors he's an 'other' then they won't trust him. That's my 2 cents on the matter......

OTown - Ethan was the man who Hurley discovered was not on the plane.

Mary

PS - sunny, I wasn't overall impressed either. The tail section survivors' landing is important and had to be told. That I understand. But I also missed seeing Jack, Charlie, Claire, etc., etc. We haven't seen Kate for 2 weeks! Guess she flew back to the Mainland for some R & R......LOL

[O Town]

Sorry Mary, didn't see Walt at all that episode. I wish. That man Ana killed on the mountain( the others) said the children were safe. Wonder if he is lying. I can't wait to finally find out what is behind this whole island. If they ever decide to tell us. And that is intresting thought on Mr. Ecko. You just never know.

BTW thanks for the name. Ethan, boy was he a real wierdo.

[Miss Mary]

I agree, Ethan was creepy, something about the way his eyes stared at everyone. He walked around with regular clothes on. Same as the Australian guy Ana killed. They both looked like plane survivors. My daughter Laura paid close attention to Mr. Ecko, he had on a suit she said and was in the water, looking for survivors. She thought he definitely was on the plane b/c he was right with people who were hurt. I don't know. I still say he wasn't on the plane.

A few things about last night's episode:

The tail section landing in the water looked really fake. Like a kid's toy coming in for landing but missed the beach. Almost like a missle. We reversed the recording to see it twice. Now you'd think the creators of Lost could have a talk with George Lucas....how can we make this look legit, help! LOL

The other comment I have is why was Bernard in a seat, with his seatbelt on? Remember, Rose told Jack her husband had gone to the bathroom at the rear of the plane. Was he walking back when the turbulance or initial problems began, and just took a vacant seat, for safety reasons? You'd think you'd want to get back to your spouse! Not sit next to a stranger. Or perhaps a flight attendant told him to take a seat. It just didn't seem like they had more than 60 seconds to brace themselves for a crash. When he was sitting in the tree, firmly seated in a seat with the belt on, my first thought was - hey, he was in the bathroom! Same as Charlie, but he was at the front of the plane. He didn't have time to grab a seat!

I know that's a picky comment to make but I've learned fans need to pay attention to small details like this, b/c they are important.

Remember Ana's group when they encountered their bunker/shelter - the inside of the door said quarantine and on the wall inside you could read Dharma. We think it's next to the Bunker where Desmond was.

Speaking of which, I wondered if the Australian guy Ana killed, was originally Desmond's partner, forget his name. He couldn't take the pressure of resetting the computer every 108 minutes and escaped. What was the explanation for his partner's disappearance? Did Desmond say he died? Forget that minor, but significant detail too.

Maybe we need to take notes when watching this show.....naw, that's too much work!

Next.......

To each their own?

I thought they flew through things too fast. I've watched this show from day one, and would have enjoyed a little more in depth story line for the other survivors.

I missed seeing Jack, too, Mary

First there was an Ethan, then there was a Nathan. Hummmmm.

[Miss Mary]

Nathan/Ethan - long lost twins? LOL

Either that or the writers need to come with names that are not so similar.....LOL

Well, Nathan is gone now too.

I thought the episode moved fast but at this point, Season 2, I would imagine the writers felt they had to move quickly. So as to get back to the main group next week, the characters that fans from day one have cared about. If they spend too much time with the tail section folks, then it would become like 2 different shows. Just my opinion though. What would have been nice would have been a real honest to goodness 2 hour episode. Not extended by 5 minutes!

Mary

[sunny]

I still think Nathan was part of "the others" somehow. But why the kids? Goodman said the kids were fine. Why do they want the kids?

[Miss Mary]

Oh yeah, back to the 'list'. He said the names on the list were of the good people. Correct? So since Ana is not so nice, I'll leave it at that, she was not on the list. But my daughter Laura said right away - Claire! She's good, she was on that list! And Charlie. Put aside his heroin addiction, he's a good guy too! Both were taken.

I've always said children are born good. It is the adults who corrupt them - with closed minded opinions, racist views, abuse, etc. If you allow a child to think for themselves and raise them right, they usually turn out good. I remember wanting 2 things for my kids - 1. a deep respect for others (race, religion, culture) and 2. a love for animals. What I learned along the way is, kids don't see race/color/religion and if you love animals, they will too. Sure they can be whiney, selfish, taking back their toys, but in the end, they are good hearted.

Got off on a tangent but maybe they want kids b/c their minds are not warped yet by society, parents, adults around them.

I dunno. That's all I got for now......

You never heard that saying, "To each his own" meaning everyone has their own option and are entitled to it. lol I agree I would have defiantley liked to see more in depth details of their events. Maybe a 3 week series or something.

Yea the "than" twins. A little wierd, huh? I also want to know the story behind the children. Just have to watch and wait I guess.

[O Town]

Good point about the children Mary. Sounds right to me. They want good people and innocent children. Maybe these people aren't so bad, they are trying to get rid of the bad people on the island and live in an Eden? lol.

Oh, I've heard it. I just didn't realize we were going to debate the show, I though we were going to discuss it. When my post is highlighted with "to each their own", I feel that my response is being called into question and I will respond in like.

But why the list? They didn't have a list for Jack's group. The only one they tried to take was Claire, and that was while she was pregnant and they wanted her baby.

I can't wait for the two groups to merge. I think there will definitely be a power struggle between Jack and Ana, and even Ana and Kate!

[Miss Mary]

You know what I think? If they get the sister and brother back (remember he has a teddy bear and we think he was the boy that walked past Jin and Mr. Ecko), Claire will take them under her wing. Or Jin/Sun might. But Jin needs to learn English. See that's the stuff I want to see:

1. Jin learning English

2. Charlie telling Claire he's been in love with her for a while now.

3. Jack and Kate to grow closer and stop dancing around this attraction they feel for eachother. But once she sees Sawyer, hurt and all, she will be saying - Jack who? Oh yeah, our resident doctor.....make him better Jack! Because I know he's bad for me but I got this thing for him anyway.....you're cute too. LOL

That's enough for my Lost writing skills for today. I have painting to do soon!!! he he

No, no I wasn't trying to debate anything. Just stating you were disappointed I was not at all and its okay to disagree about it. If you call it disagreeing. Anyway no harm intented with that statement.

[sunny]

No problem O Town - we're cool

I read in a spoiler that "Kate will get some lovin'" and it won't be from Sawyer. I'm not sure that it will be Jack either. So who else is on the island that Kate could hook up with?

[Miss Mary]

Well, it better be Jack! If not Sawyer......who else could it be? Locke? They did bond a little back before the hatch was opened. But he's like a father figure.

I think there will be a battle between Locke and Mr Ecko. Both seem connected to the island and it's peculiar ways. Knowing Locke, he'll pick Ecko's brain.....asking him a slew of questions.

Wonder why he stopped talking too.....that was odd. Shocked they took the children? See that rock he was holding was strange too - was he meant to club or kill the non-desirable adults, taking the children, since I think he's an 'other'? But in the end he couldn't, b/c it was wrong?

I still don't understand why he was holding the rock and was bloody. And also why the tail group still didn't wander who he really is. Which is of course just a gut feeling I have....that he's an other.

Mary

[sunny]

I want it to be Jack, but that is too obvious. This show likes to throw curve balls at us!!

I didn't think about the Locke/Mr. Ecko thing. I think you are on to something there, Mary. lol - two groups with the same leadership structure!

[Miss Mary]

Oh yeah, one more power struggle!!!

Sun vs the blonde tailie lady, the one who put in one year of med school but is a psychiatrist or something now?

Sun will want to rely upon her homeopathic ways but the other one will be all old school, no can someone run up to Walgreens and get us some Polysporin? LOL

What is her name, the new one?

[sunny]

Oh man, I don't remember her name!! That is true - another power struggle!!!

[Miss Mary]

I think the blonde lady is Libby. Cindy is the other short haired lady who goes missing when they're carrying Sawyer up that steep ravine.

So it's Libby, to the best of my knowledge.

Hey, check out epguides for last night's Lost episode. Fans can post reviews and someone mentioned how Ana told the tail survivor group, remember what happened to Goodwin, implying the others killed, when in fact, he wasn't on the plane and SHE killed him (but in self defense)? Was that a mistake on the writers part? Time will tell!

[Miss Mary]

Wow, keep hitting next episode. We have a new one next week, but we don't get one titled "Merged" until Dec. 14th!

Do we really have to watch/wait nearly a month before all the survivors are together again?
