Lost, the series

[Mausey]

Did anybody see this week's episode? My usual channel had American Idol on instead.:mad2: I am NOT impressed with this. I've already sent the station a rather snippy letter but that doesn't tell me what happened. Last I saw was Claire walking out of the brush while Locke and Boone were looking for the kid's dog. Is Claire still pregnant? Do they show what the guys found burried. WHAT HAPPENED?????

[NeouofPern]

DON'T WORRY! NEOU TO THE RESCUE! It was a repeat this week. Where Sahid finds the French woman. Nothing new. :( I was so angry! I guess next week will be new again.....

[Faren]

Yep, it was a repeat which was nice since I had missed that episode earlier. :ok:

[Mausey]

Thank you ladies. I'm so glad I didn't miss anything. :bouncy: Now I wonder what the tv station will tell me about the unschedualed program change. :D At least I was polite. :laugh:

[spellwight]

Actually, I'm pretty sure next week's is a re-run (Raised by Another). The next new episode (Homecoming) is scheduled for February 9th. :bouncy:

[McClance]

This was the first episode of Lost that I've seen. I thought it was interesting. I decided to start watching it because I read that Mira Furlan, Delenn on Babylon 5, was in it. It seemed to be pure chance that the episode that I saw last night was one which she starred in.

[granath]

Oh, that pic of Sawyer is... droolicious! Haven't seen any episodes in Finland yet, but of course, LotR freak that I am I became interested in it thanks to Dominic Monaghan.

[Mausey]

I got a nice note from the tv station telling me they had pre-empted it only because there wasn't a new episode. The new one will be shown on Feb. 9th and they're sorry for the inconvience. At least they showed something that has some humour. They could have shown that new Simple Life show. Blech

Just thought I'd share :ok: I been collecting! :bouncy:

[granath]

They're lovely. :ok: He reminds me a bit of a young Viggo Mortensen.

[NeouofPern]

Hmm... The young rich kid is more nummmy. ^^ Feb 9th? *gasp*

[Piyer]

For all things Lost (so to speak), check out this website: http://www.lost-tv.com/

[Mausey]

Thank you for the link, very nice. :cool:

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

I LOVE LOST!! :bouncy: :D

And yes, last week and this coming weeks are reruns- Feb. 9 is the next new episode.

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!! Dang them for making us wait 2 weeks!

[Faren]

So...did ya watch? ;)

This last week's episode featuring Sawyer was a hoot. (thanks for the pics, Deb :heartbeat ).






**SPOILER**




What a kick in the teeth for him to have actually killed someone and then to discover it was all a setup. :eek: And wasn't that interesting that he met Charlie's dad? And it was just like him not to tell Charlie about it. :evil: I still want to find out why the other fellow (with the sister...can't recall his name at the moment) hasn't remembered that he saw Sawyer at the police station (and what was THAT about??).

Anyway, the boar story was great. :D

[NeouofPern]

Yah, that was a good one. Claire looks like if you poked her stomach with a pin, it would pop.

[Elianth]

Oh, I love Lost. I try to keep up with the show, but my parents like to go to the fitness center on Wednesdays because "nothing worth watching is on TV." (Don't get me wrong, we go to the FC almost daily, but they're sure to go on Wed. ;) ) And I say, "WHAT?! WEDNESDAY IS THE DAY WE SHOULDN'T GO!!!"

So, I think I've missed at least two episodes? Maybe just one, because it may have been a rerun. Did they ever figure out what was buried? I think that's where I left off.

[Mausey]

Sawyer didn't meet Charlie's dad NeouofPern, he met Jack's dad in the bar. You could just see it in his eyes when he realized who Jack was, what's in this for me? I'm sure he's got some plan running through his mercenary little mind. :evil:

No, we don't know what it is yet, they sort of put the burried object on the back burner after Claire turned up. I'm sure Boone and Loche are still working on it though. :D

[NeouofPern]

I didn't say that. Faren did.

[Faren]

I didn't say that. Faren did.
You're right, Neou, that was my mistake. :blush:

Charlie/Jack...get that confused all the time. :disguise:

[Mausey]

Sorry NeouofPern

[Faren]

New episode tonight!! :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

[Dux]

I thought that look was kind of "could the guy I talked to actually be Jack's dad?" "Should I tell him?" "after allowing Sayid to torture me, heck no!"

Anyone else getting tired of Kate's long looks of quiet understanding that she seems to give any male within 10 feet?

[Dux]

Just found out that next week's show is about Hurley! :hopping: I've really wanted to know his story!

[Faren]

Anyone else getting tired of Kate's long looks of quiet understanding that she seems to give any male within 10 feet?
:rofl:

==========================================
Very interesting episode this week. I missed the first few minutes and walked in during a flashback scene and thought..Oh no...a rerun. Then realized the scene was from Jin's perspective. :eek: I still don't know why it was such a big deal that she couldn't tell him she spoke English. :roll:

[Dux]

So there I am watching Wednesday's episode on Replay (one the the bestest inventions ever!!) and it's on the scene showing Jin entering the Minister's house for the first time to deliver Sun's Dad's message. The Minister guy gestures to his little girl watching tv on the sofa and the scene quick flashes to her and the television.

WHAT THE...!!!!!

I think to myself, did I just see what I think I saw on that tv?

Since I am on Replay (did I mention this is THE BEST THING EVER?), I quickly rewind 14 seconds and rewatch the scene, playing close attention to what the little girl is watching on her tv set for the 5 seconds they show that part of the scene.

Guess what, or rather WHO is on the tv?

HURLEY! The tv screen has Japanese letters on the bottom and an action shot of HURLEY getting into a car.

?????????????????

[Dux]

:rofl:

Yeah, considering he had his own set of secrets too, and that he wanted to start over also before the plane crash too, you'd think he would at least try. I did like that he and Michael seem to be trying to get past everything at the end though.

As much as I dislike Shannon, I do like the her and Sayid thing too.

My hubby is on another bboard, and says someone translated the japanese letters under Hurley's name, and says the translation was something about Hurley winning a Lottery.

[Dux]

Yep - I saw the same thing.

[Mausey]

This week sounds like a good episode.. :bouncy:

[Faren]

OK, who got chilly bumps on their arms at the end of last week's episode. :eek: Bizarre and creepy. I loved the scene with Hurley and the Frenchwoman...the look on her face as he became so fed up with it all and started yelling (as she has her gun trained on him). :laugh: And Charlie getting offended when Hurley tells him he's worth $154 million back home. :D

But I wish they'd solve at least ONE of the mysteries before throwing another out there. :roll:

[Dux]

One thing that wasn't explained. Why was Hurley on Korean TV? Would a lottery winner in the US really make Korean News?

[Faren]

They also never explained why Sawyer was being brought to the police station during Shannon's brother's (can't recall his name at the mo') flashback.

Maybe it was on Korean tv because it was such a huge payout??

[Dux]

Of course, after watching so many shows I want to see the reruns to see if every person on the island has somehow run into others on the island before the crash too.

[Wolfegar]

One thing that wasn't explained. Why was Hurley on Korean TV? Would a lottery winner in the US really make Korean News?
I think they had that bit on the t.v. to see if the fans are paying attention. It's just one of those they do.

[Mausey]

"The french chick says hey" :rofl: The look on their faces was priceless.

[Dux]

"The french chick says hey" :rofl: The look on their faces was priceless.
Great line! :good:

[Faren]

Yep, this will be one of those series that you will want to get on dvd. That way we can go back and find all the "clues." :cool:

And that was a great line, Mausey. :good:

[Mausey]

:banghead: :banghead: Another rerun ....... I hATE reruns during the regular season. :mad:

[Faren]

I'm thrilled actually. We went out to dinner last night and I was fretting because I was missing it. Made it home in time to see Charlie come back to life. :good:

[Mausey]

:redfruit: at Faren :laugh:

[Dux]

I watched it again to look for anything I missed the first time...nuthin!

[Purpura]

I'm wondering what the relation between Kate and the others are... and When in the heck Claire is gonna have the baby.

[Dawn]

For those who'd like a Lost season ending spoiler, go here: :bouncy: (http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue413/news.html)

[Faren]

Thanks for the link, Dawn. :ok: I hope this week's episode is not a repeat. :erm: And I wish it wasn't on against Survivor this week.:irked:

[Dawn]

You're welcome. :D

However, I read that this week's episode is a repeat and the next new one will be March 30. :tilt:

[Faren]

You're welcome. :D

However, I read that this week's episode is a repeat and the next new one will be March 30. :tilt:
Oh good! Then there won't be a conflict. :ok:

[Mausey]

Having 2 sucessful shows running against each other is why vcr's were invented. :laugh: I :heartbeat my vcr.

[Dux]

I have Replay tv - it's even better - no commercials!!!

[Mayhem]

I have never seen this yet!
Which channel is it on?

[Dawn]

Plat, I'm not sure if it's on over there yet. :tilt: It's on ABC here in America.

[Mayhem]

oh well! Will watch for it's appearence over here!
*grins*

[Dux]

Just rewatched part of this week's episode. I was trying to make out what Sawyer was yelling in the background while Boone was at the police station. All I can make it is something about Sawyer "trying to give it back to him" and "croc hunter why won't you listen to my side of the story" (yelled at police officer as he's being dragged away.)

[Dux]

I think next week's episode is another Locke one.

[Faren]

I think next week's episode is another Locke one.
I don't think it's a repeat though. :bouncy:

[Monkeysrule]

Something I noticed:
In that episode that shows the back story of the Japanese guy who doesn't speak english (forgot his name), there is a part whan he goes to a guy's house where girl is watching TV. If you look really closely at the TV, you can see the fat dude (I'm really bad with names) on the screen. Just thought I'd post it.

[Mausey]

That's Hurley on tv celebrating his big lottery win. :D

[Dux]

New one this week !!! :bouncy:

yep - go back to the earlier posts - we've talked about it before. Oh, the Japanese guy is Korean - I keep messing that up too :roll:

[Faren]

I am so confused!!!!! What IS that thing that they are trying to open?????
Do you think Boone will die???

Arrgghh!

[NeouofPern]

That episode was so creepy!!! But next weeks look so good. Yes... What is Locke trying to open? It started glowing!

[Dux]

Not sure if this is a spoiler - so just in case SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Okay - so we know someone is supposed to die before the end of the season. Boone is in Baaaaaaaad shape and Claire is going into labor. I've got a real bad feeling about next week's show. Will Boone die (will they name Claire's baby after him if he does?). Will Claire die because Jack is busy trying to save Boone and can't come to her when she needs him? Or is this a teaser and both will be saved?

And what's with the light in the tunnel? Or whatever that bunker thing is.

This entire show left me with a twisty feeling in my stomach - right from the beginning. It was definately a strange episode.

[NeouofPern]

Or maybe Locke will die because his legs are failing and the monster comes? And Claire will name her baby after him?

[Monkeysrule]

I can see that happening...too bad, he was a cool character, but he kinda needs to die for the sake of the plotline.

[Dux]

BTW - we still don't know how he became paralyzed. I don't think they'll kill him for that reason. I don't think they'll kill someone unless they've finished that person's story or that person's story doesn't need to be told. There is still some mystery to Locke - unfirtunately that's true of Kate too (I'd love it if she went) - we still don't know who she killed. Jack - no mysteries left, but they'll keep him, he's too important. Sawyer - can't kill him, the he's got too big of a fan base. Hurley - we still don't know for sure why he was on Korean tv - but they could axe him. Walter - they won't kill a kid. They could kill his dad though. Charlie - hope not....

[NeouofPern]

That is true. I would looooove to see Kate die. Hehe. Not Charrllliiiiiie. Of course, the Australian lady, forget her name, could always die. They've finished her story...

[Mausey]

Maybe we'll loose two people. :evil: Cliare dies giving birth and Boone from his injuries. I love what Jack did to Sawyer :D The questions he asked and then tells him he needs glasses. :laugh:

[Wolfegar]

I can see it now. Except by plane crashes or ship wrecks, no one can come to the island. So, in order for Claire's baby to actually be born alive, Boone has to die. One leaves so that one can arrive.

[NeouofPern]

Yes, those questions were great. You know, makes me want to be a doctor, just for that... *falls down laughing* :devil: I kind of don't want Boone to die, but the relationship with his stepsister was starting to freak me out. Heh.

[Wolfegar]

I just read something. It suggests that Claire should be worried about the story of the French woman as it pertains to Claire's baby. The French woman allegedly killed her son Alex you see.

[Faren]

I just read something. It suggests that Claire should be worried about the story of the French woman as it pertains to Claire's baby. The French woman allegedly killed her son Alex you see.
Now that would be horrifying. :eek: Where did you read that?

[Mausey]

I think she told Sahid that she killed her son when she had him tied up.

I want to know who Ethan was and where did he come from? Is he one of the people from the ship with the french woman or was he a survivior of the drug plane.

[Dux]

I haven't finished watching yet - so I'm not reading any posts - but I needed to take an intensity break to say "oh, my God! Oh, My God. Oh, my God!"

Okay - back to the show.

[Dux]

Anyone else crying buckets? I really didn't think my original guess was right (well, we don't know if Claire will name the baby for him). I really didn't want him to die. I wanted them to do the typical Hollywood ending where he gets saved at the last minute. I'm such a sap. :shake:

On the other front - did anyone else notice the missing umbilical cord?

BTW - next week is a rerun :irked:

[Faren]

Sad sad sad. :cry: I thought it was a very well done episode. :ok: Loved the Korean guy's (can't remember his name) reactions. He conveys a lot of emotion.

That said...Jack makes me tired. He's just TOO intense. And how he decided that Boone's death was murder instead of an accident. :roll:

I AM looking forward to his confrontation wih Locke though. :evil:

I liked Korean guy in this episode too. Okay - how come we're just finding out now that he's married? How come he's so into Kate if he got a loving wifey at home?

[NeouofPern]

But Jack doesn't wear a ring though, does he? That's the thing. Maybe something happened to his wife. And poor Boone. :( I noticed there was no umbilical chord too. I really loved the Korean couple in this episode. Sun is such a wonderful character, and her husband was so expressive in this epsidode.

[Dux]

Does anyone remember in the episode about Sun - did it say when she learned to speak English? Did she learn it only when she started planning to leave him, or has she known all along. If the first, I understand completely why she didn't tell him, but if not - why didn't she tell him? It's a weird thing to keep as a secret.

[NeouofPern]

I think she knew it before, but I'm not sure. And life is different there... Perhaps it's a dishonorable thing?

[Mausey]

If I remember correctly, she was planning on leaving him and living in America. Learning english was only part of it. Didn't she get some papers as well so she had ID and could get decent work?

Yes, it was so sad about Boone. I saw an interview with him and from the way he spoke, nobody knew who was going to get it until they sharted shooting. He said it was good timing though, he was just going to start looking for a house in Hawaii. :D

Then that really sucks for him doesn't it. He couldn't make plans to do anything. At least in most normal jobs they give you a couple of weeks of notice. I wonder if he gets paid for the rest of the season or only for those shows he appears in? Most times I think it's per show - but I'm not sure.

That is a big puzzle to me too. Among the many many puzzles with this show. ;)

[Dux]

Thought I'd report this to you all as it seems we all missed it. In the episode, two weeks ago when Boone was on the plane something weird happened. Remeber, Boone was trying to use the radio to sned out a message about them being on the Island. He sends out a message saying hello, is anyone out there? and got a response. Boone then says that "we're the survivors of Ocenia flight 815" the response he got back was pretty static-y and Locke was yelling in the background for Boone to get out of the plane. Well, it turns out that the response over the radio was Verrrrrry important. People have been posting about it on the Lost website and apparently the staic-y response back was one of three things it was either: "we're the survivors of flight 815" or "there were no survivors of flight 815" The second would make sense, but I've relistened to the audio over and over again, it it really sounds more like the first. Which means there are other survivors out there somewhere. :eek:

Well, I'm just glad there will be a new episode this week! :bouncy:

I MUST know what is behind that panel! :banghead:

[Faren]

I missed most of it due to some family problems. :sad:

And I STILL don't know what's behind the panel. :banghead: :banghead:

[Purpura]

SPOILER! SPOILER I'll write it in white, so don't read/highlight if you haven't seen the Lost Episode yet


Claire's baby is soothed by the raspy tones of Sawyer reading a technical manual.


I'm dying of laughter

[Mausey]

I've just seen a couple teasers fo rthis weeks show. :eek: Looks like a lot is happening. I wonder if this is a big build-up to a cliff hanger season ending? They'll certainly have people waiting for next season if it is. :D

[anonew]

I caught it couple of times, but I hate starting to watch series halfway through, so it'll have to wait for a re-run.

This post is simply to congratulate Mausey on her perspicacious use of a comma in the thread title. Much confusion was avoided thereby.

G

[Mausey]

Kate is turning into a real pain. We knew she was on the run and willing to do almost anything, but now she's even talking other people into doing her dirty work. :eek: Has it ever occured to her that having somebody on the raft that can actually sail is a good thing? Sure she crewed for a couple summers, but that's a lot different than taking that creation of theirs out in the open ocean.

Looks like next week we get a visit from the french woman. :hopping:

[spellwight]

I seriously dislike Kate. The actress can't act and the character has no reason to be in the series other than to be everywhere and in every scene. Kate needs to die and stop wasting food and water.

Anyone who wouldn't pick Sawyer over Jack is a pansy, even for a girl.

I'm not overly fond of Jack either but he is a doctor (though not a very good one) so I'll put up with him. But why does everyone look to him for leadership? I'd be following the guy who finds food, myself.

And where in the hell is Vincent the Shifty-Eyed Dog? No discussion of him going on the boat.

[Monkeysrule]

I think he's gone.

[Faren]

Once again I missed Wednesday's show. :sad: Though when you have guests over, it's not nice to shove them out the door so you can watch tv. :O

This is one tv series I will have to buy on DVD.

[spellwight]

Faren, here's the gist:

MissUseless (Kate) figured out if she were on the raft and they were rescued her chances of escaping would be better than staying on the island and waiting for the press to find her. First she tries to get Sawyer dumped from the boat. Tells Michael that she has sailing experience (truth or not?) but Sawyer has bought his way on through trade. So she convinces Sun to poison Jin, knowing Sun wants him to stay. Michael drinks the tainted water instead. Major confrontation and now everyone knows Kate's a fugative. Though she admits to that she slants it so she's the innocent who "yes, will go to jail" if caught. Everyone hates her now. Til next week.

Turniphead still doesn't have a name.

Sayid and Locke show Jack the hatch. Later Walt (as seen in the previews) tells Locke not to open that thing. Jack wants it open (shelter if nothing else), Locke wants it open (who knows why) but Sayid wants it left closed (gee, there's no doorknob for a reason people!).

Oh, and at the beginning the Red Shirt science teacher (have we seen him before, I don't remember, was he the rash guy?) give the boat builders a quick lesson on monsoon seasons, wind direction and open ocean to the antarctic if they don't leave soon.

I think that covers the finer points.

[Faren]

Thanks for the info Deb! :D

Kate is probably my least favorite character. I wish she would decide whether to be good or bad. :roll:

Favorite? Do you have to ask?
Sawyer. :heartbeat

and I like Hurley and Charlie too.

[NeouofPern]

Grr... Kate is annoying, and needs to die horribly. I love Charlie though. And Hurley. And Turniphead. Lol. What about the monster? *sniffles*

[Dux]

:laugh: I've been wondering about the dog too. I also do not like Kate. At least now we know what she was talking about when she said she killed the only man she ever loved.


For Faren - this week's flashbacks were Kate's again. It shows the time before she went to Australia - apparently her mom was dying of cancer and she was trying to get into the hospital to visit her. Working at the hospital is an old childhood friend who was her "childhood love". he is now married with a little girl. The old friend arranges things so that she can get in to see mom, who is under police guard (Kate is apparently already on the run from the police). Before going to see mom, they have a "remember when" session and end up going off to dig up a time capsule they buried as kids. Two important things in the capsule. The little airplane which belonged to the boy friend as a kid and a cassette of them leaving the capsule in which Kate implies she may have been abused as a child and was planning to run away as soon as she could drive. When she gets in to see mom, mom starts screaming for help which brings in the police - they chase her. She runs to her friend's car - he jumps in next to her and tries to convince her to turn herself in (the police are holding guns on the car). She begs him to get out of the car - he refuses, she tries to ram the car past the police who open fire. Friend is shot she escapes.

[Faren]

Spent half of this show crying!! :cry: And I'll give kudos to the guy who plays Jack. He really played that scene with Sawyer perfectly. :good:

Cannot wait for the 2 hour finale!!!! :bouncy:

[spellwight]

Good for Sawyer (James Ford, is that what the cop said his real name was?) for telling Jack about his dad. See, I always said he was a good guy, down deep . . . really deep. Kind of like his dimples and that hot "lumberjack" body. He can cut my bamboo anyday.

That whole shipping out good-bye scene was nicely done and not too long, but was it just MY sound that seemed warped? Like a bad tape or something? Girlchild and I were trying to figure out if the warped music track was yet another clue in the continuing mystery or just on our TV.

Finally something is happening on this show. They've spent too much time explaining everything without explaining anything that I was getting bored.




PS. I want a Sawyer of my very own.

PS. I want a Sawyer of my very own.It's funny Kate and Sawyer really aren't all that different - they both have broken the law - they both are responsible for someone's death (actually Sawyer is worse here - he was trying to kill someone). Yet - I'm much more accepting of Sawyer than Kate. I think it's because Sawyer has never tried to hide what he was and Kate has made every effort to come off the angel - even after convincing Sun to poison Jin.

[Mausey]

I can't see having the show's season ending without some of the main characters, so ....... how and why are they going to end up back on the island? I can see them coming back, learning more about "the others" and then trying to leave again, but to not have Michael, Walt, Sawyer and Jin there for the big confrontation. :( It just doesn't seem right.

[spellwight]

Yeah, but we don't know they're actually gone do we? The island prolly has some sort of gravity-type field and they'll blunder around the edges and end up right back where they started.

Or like on the Truman Show, they'll just ram into the edge.

Or the boat sinks 100 yards off the beach and we just didn't see any of them in the previews.

Or there's some big monster in the water that slaps them down.

Or (enter your bizarre storyline here).

:D It is Lost!

I think the raft will get away fromt he site of land - float around for a week or more, then they will spy land again - guess where they'll be?


I'm still wondering why Walt said that they had to leave though. :confused:

[Lady Arwyn]

I think Walt's saying that they *had* to leave had something to do with his warning to not open "the hatch". Whatever is in there, he doesn't want to be there when it opens.

Next week is the two-hour season finale. I copied the TV guide blurb and posted it below in white. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't highlight the following...

Something unexpected at sea surprises those on the raft; the remaining islanders try to blow open the hatch; a visitor to the encampment could be a threat to Claire's infant son.

[Mausey]

And tonight is the night. The season cliff hanger. :hopping: :hopping:

Maybe we'll find out who was on the other end of the radio when Boone bought it. :D

Oh and FYI, maybe those weren't polar bears. There's an island off our west coast that is home to white bears. I think they're a kodiak with a genetic predisposition towards white instead of regular bear colours. The natives call them spirit bears and they want the island protected.

[Lady Arwyn]

That's debatable. It seems to have something to do with Walt and his powers. There were polar bears in the comic book he was "reading", so polar bears showed up. I think they are intended to be polar bears, not white phase Kodiaks.

If we want to epoche Walt's powers and island wierdity and look for another more realistic explanation, I would guess that the polar bears were being transported to some zoo and wrecked there like everyone else.

[Mausey]

Let's hope Walt never saw the movie Ghost Busters or they might end up with the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man. :laugh:

[spellwight]

I know they won't answer all of the questions tonight, but I hope they answer ONE!

I want to see Lostzilla, freeze-framed for close study. No quick flash that people can argue about all summer.

So far we have the bodies of the couple in the caves, the priest/drug smugglers, the french scientific expedition, the Black Rock people, and Flt. 815. Plus something large w/hatch underground.

The others are prolly a nice settlement of castaways and their decendents from the other side of the island. They stole Danielle's baby because she's a wacko who killed her crew and they feared for Alex's safety. They tell Wacko Woods Lady instead of Boogyman stories to their children to make them behave. Not-so-nice Ethan probably was cast out from that settlement and decided to get him a woman (w/child) to make himself comfy in the jungle.

You know, I don't understand why they haven't sent an expedition around the perimiter of the island yet. As soon as they had shelter and portable food and water, that's the next thing on the list. Not planting a garden or building a raft. They're making a number of assumptions without enough intel or conversation.

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

IT'S TONIGHT!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Of course, that DOES mean we'll have to wait until next season, however I have recorded every episode, so if I want a little Lost I can just pop a tape in!! Oh... and then in September they are already being released on DVD. Can't wait for that, either!!! :bouncy: :D :bouncy:

[Lady Arwyn]

OK, I called that one. As soon as the French woman said they were after the boy, I figured out that they meant Walt. Walt is the one with the visions, and they didn't say "the baby", they said "the boy." Will the group try to return to the island? With Walt being taken back to the island, Michael surely will want to go back. And where the heck did the "others" get a fishing boat? And fuel? Why do they take some kids and not others, and why send a smoke signal that they are coming?

Regarding the shaft at the very end, I wonder how deep it is. I figure they will start dropping a rope to measure the depth and probaby won't find a bottom. Or it is deeper than any rope they have. But someone (probably Kate) will be lowered down. What is down there is another matter.

Whoa, the invisible monster is a cloud of smoke with a robotic arm that drags people into an underground den???? I remember Locke met the monster in one of the first episodes, faced it without fear and walked away. I bet he WOULD have been OK if they had let him go. Just walked back into camp a few days later. Or even the next morning. Why does Locke have to be so danged secretive??? He knows stuff but won't tell anyone. He is a major danger to the group in many ways. But I think everone on that island is in some way. Just Locke more than others.

They really played up the "faith vs reason" theme in this episode. Two conversations dealth with the issue, the question of being punished between Sun and Shannon, and Clare jumping in, and the discussion of the island's sentience (or whatever) between Locke and Jack.

So, is this supernatural, or is it a purely human plot of some kind? The question is left open through these discussions.

[spellwight]

Arzt blowing up was cool. Blink and miss it. Good riddance.

I believe Sawyer is only winged and he, Michael and Jin will float back to the (nearby in the dark) island on the floaty leftover bits of the boat. But 5 years from now just before the show is cancelled, the bottle with messages will show up on shore somewhere and cause a rescue for the final episode.

I believe Charlie snagged a Virgin Mary statuette MINUS the heroin. He's Catholic.

New drinking game: Slam a shot everytime one of the "numbers" is referenced. 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 :hopping: Don't you wonder how many people have wasted a dollar on the lottery with those specific numbers?

Okay, so the others aren't a nice bunch of castaways and their decendents. They're a vicious gang led by the surviving drug smugglers! Was that a 16-year-old girl who tossed the firebomb?

Damn, Sayid is hot. Capable and hot. Now I'm spending equal time dreaming between Sayid and Sawyer. Sorry Sawyer. Though diving in the water to save the rudder ... and coming out soaking wet ... *sigh* put you a little ahead.

[Dux]

Just finished watching it...damn! It's going to be a long summer. I reallly didn't feel too bad about Artz either, until the end when they showed him helping a very pregnant Claire on the plane.

I agree about Sawyer - I think all three will get back to the Island safely, where they will meet up with some other castaways. That there are others is pretty much a fact. The actress that played the girl in the bar with Jack before the flight (the one who had a seat in the back of the plane) is supposed to be a regular next season.

I hope you're right about the statuette being minus the heroin or that he plans to give it to Jack for some medicinal use (kind of already wondered why that hasn't happened - you'd think they at least would save it in case another Boone-like wound occurs). I have a bad feeling about that though - too much potential story line usage to bring the addiction back into it.

I slow played and paused the replay tv - it definately was a girl with long blonde hair throwing the bomb onto the boat. She looked older than 16 to me - but hard Island life and being the only female amongst what looks like the rejects of Appalachia could make you look older than your years. Besides, it's never been established that Danielle's daughter is 16 - only that the signal was sent out for that long. Danielle didn't send out the signal until after her daughter was taken AND all the other members of her party were killed - that could have been a few years later, for all we know.

Not only the boat and fuel, but the weapons too - the big light and I thought you had to have some sort of radio signal to appear on radar. Well, once again we see that somehow Walt has some sort of telepathic connection with the Others - he knew he had to be on the boat, he just didn't know why.

I have to admit, I'm more of a Sayid girl myself, but Sawyer does make pretty nice eye candy.

Can you imagine what Hurley must be thinking right about now - seeing those numbers. I'd be freaking out and telling everyone real fast what those numbers have meant to him and those two other guys from his episode.

That hatch must be really old if there is only remnants left of the ladder that used to be there - so where did the weird light come from that Locke saw?

[Faren]

September is a long way off. :cry:

Sayid is a hunk. 'nuf said. :heartbeat But I was hoping that Sawyer would get to shoot at least ONE of the bad guys. :sad:

And I hope and pray that Charlie won't get back into the heroin.

[spellwight]

Can you imagine what Hurley must be thinking right about now - seeing those numbers. I'd be freaking out and telling everyone real fast what those numbers have meant to him and those two other guys from his episode.

yeah, but trying to explain that, without living it . . . isn't that why everyone thought the other guy was crazy?

Unless it's your bad luck will people get it?

[Dux]

yeah, but trying to explain that, without living it . . . isn't that why everyone thought the other guy was crazy?

Unless it's your bad luck will people get it?
I think in most situations that's true - but on this island where weird is the norm...at least a few people would wonder about the connection between the numbers - especially as they keep popping up 4,8,15,16,23,42. I can't remember all the examples, but they were on flight 8:15, Boone and Shannon sat in row 8, Jack in row 23 and I think Kate was in 15 or 16...

[Mausey]

Like Faren said, September is a L-O-N-G way off. :banghead:

Youngest son was having fits, "they can't end the show like that, we don't know anything. They can't do that mom!" .... :laugh: Ever try explaining a cliff hanger to an impatient 16 year old. :roll:

Lol...he'll be on the edge of his seat next season, huh! :ok: Now THAT'S a cliffhanger! :applause:

[Dux]

Okay -I'm a geek. You know it, I know it - so it won't come as a surprise to anyone that I decdide to rewatch the final episode and check out the whole "numbers" thing. I knew they were used a lot, but...

I rewatched only the part that showed what Hurley (aka Hugo Reyes) was doing the morning of the flight. In that 5 minutes or so segment:

his hotel room is 2342
when his car starts going kerblooey the dash board readings are: 42K, 23 degrees C, 16 kph (which then chnages to 15 kph, then 4 kph).
he pays the guy $16,000 for his scooter in the airport
the flight is leaving out of gate 23
as he runs through the airport he passes a girls' sports team - their jersey numbers, in order are: 4, 15, 16, 18, 23, 42

And all that is in 5 minutes!

[Monkeysrule]

Good observing! It's really interesting...

I won't be watching much tv anymore since my two favorite shows (Survivor and Loast) are over. :sad:

The wifey theorizes that "The Others" are pirates and they increase their numbers by taking children.

I still say they're in purgatory. (Or The Twilght Zone.)

[Jax]

*has eyes squinched shut >.< *

Can someone tell me please, are you only talking about season one in here? I think our final 2 episodes are next week, of season 1, the boat has just been launched tonight.

[spellwight]

There IS only season one so far. So nobody spoiler about how it ends!

[Dux]

Yeah - you're almost caught up. Let me know when you have and we can talk about the show. :bouncy: BTW our new season starts next month.

[Dux]

Just checked - season premiere is Sept. 21st :hopping:

[Jax]

Woohoo!! I so can't wait to read this thread!! :rofl2:

[JayEgo]

Have not read tis thread in case of spoilers... Lost has just started here in the UK and I'm hooked from the outset! We're hoping that it's not going to end up being really awful and corny with the 'what's in the forest' storyline but what we've seen so far is enough to keep us watching.

Also enjoying looking at Ian Somerhalder :heart:

Ja¥son xx

[Jax]

LOL Jayson - do you think that is it turned out to be corny and awful that there would be a whole thread about it on page 3?? :shake: tskes! :laugh:

[Dux]

Well, without giving anything away - these pages are NOT filled with rants - except for when the season ended and we all realized we'd have to wait almost four months to see a new episode.


<-----is going through Lost withdrawal. BTW let me make a suggestion - watch each episode very closely - especially things going on in the background.

[Jax]

LOL I'm not good at being observant! :roll: Though I wish I was...

[Dawn]

I'm not either, Jax. ;) So I just happily watch the show and then come read the posts in here to see what I missed. :laugh:

Keep watching, Jayson. You won't be disappointed. :ok:

Forgot to mention a number of posts have been (at least in part) devoted to dividing us into Sawyer v Sayid camps. I'm a Sayid girl myself ;)

[Jax]

:cry: The last 2 episodes were on tonight and I couldn't watch them because parents were watching a DVD and the tv down the back room doesn't get that channel!! *bawls*

[Mayhem]

*Not looking at rest of thread*

Seen the first few episodes, lookin good so far! Lookin forward to next weeks! Headhunters look to be hangin round! For all the 'lack of originality' it's a bloody good show! ;) :D

[Jax]

I wonder how soon it will be out on DVD... :erm: not that I'll be able to afford it, and even if I could, I'd wanna get Star Gates first! :roll:

[Dux]

Jax - here's ABC's synopsis of the last two episodes if you want to know what happened. Of course, if you'd rather wait 4 months for the reruns to come on - you could do that too.

But you know you don't want to.

:devil:

http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/episodes/2004-05/23.html
http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/episodes/2004-05/24.html

Some details are left out - but I can fill you in on those if you decide to read the above.


The good news is that if you do get the synopses (synopsi?) of the last two episodes, then you can go back and read what the rest of us have been saying and be caught up on all the little things and really impress your friends! (Assuming they have the good taste to watch the show)

[Jax]

Wow thanks Dux - I saw that first one last week, and boy, I wish I had seen the last one!!
LOL all my friends are back in NZ and I think Lost finished for them over there weeks ago so I won't be impressing anyone! :laugh:

[Faren]

Only a few more weeks to wait!!!

And Dux, I like Sayid AND Sawyer.:D AND Charlie...AND...nevermind.:disguise: :blush:

[spellwight]

I think most of us have a certain fondness for Charlie, because of the actor's LotR connection. But when it comes to hotness, he just doesn't have it.

Sawyer now, that's my kind of hot. Bad boy scruffy but with a sense of humor. Then Sayid ooooozes sexy, makes me wanna run my fingers through his . . .

But I wish that boring, full of himself Doctor would just die off or something.

[Lady Arwyn]

Sawyer isn't my type. Physically he's nice eye candy, but his personality really turns me off. Plus he needs a haircut.

Sayid... :heartbeat

Jack is yummy in a more conventional, safer manner. I tend to prefer my men clean cut and respectable.

I even like Hurley in an unconventional, teddy bear way.

[Jax]

You mean Hurley? :D I like Hurley, he's funny but I have to say I don't really find any of the guys all that attractive, cute yeah, but that's about as far as it goes, Boone maybe but... :erm:

Boy that last episode must have been awesome to watch! Thanks again for synopsis Dux, I almost felt like I did see it!

[Mausey]

I like looking at all the guys on that show. :bouncy: Nice they have some eye candy for the females instead of just bikinis. :D

Sawyer ... scruffy bad boy. :heartbeat Sayid ... scruffy nice guy. :heartbeat :laugh:

[Lady Arwyn]

As I understand it, they are adding several main female characters to the show for the 2nd season. Highlight the following for spoilers: Some (all?) of the passengers from the back of the plane will appearantly show up. Don't ask me how, but appearantly there were survivors. Maybe on another part of the island? The woman who Jack was flirting with at the bar before getting on the plane is supposed to have a major role in the coming season, and she is known to have been sitting at the back of the plane, the missing section that was assumed to have fallen into the ocean.

Appearantly they did very well providing eye candy for the ladies, the men seem to feel a bit neglected. Which is sad, because there was just as much eye candy for the men (Kate, Shannon -there is your bikini wearing sexy thing- and Sun) and now Clare isn't preggo anymore so she can be eye candy for the guys too.

I guess Jin is decent eye candy too. So it's Jack, Sawyer, Sayid and Jin for the ladies, and Kate, Shannon, Clare and Sun for the guys. Four of each, until the new cast members are introduced.

[Faren]

I agree about Jin. He's very nice looking. Sawyer is yummy...but I wish he's take a bath.:erm: And Jack needs to let his hair grow out...not an attractive cut.

[Dux]

You mean Hurley? :D I like Hurley, he's funny but I have to say I don't really find any of the guys all that attractive, cute yeah, but that's about as far as it goes, Boone maybe but... :erm:

Boy that last episode must have been awesome to watch! Thanks again for synopsis Dux, I almost felt like I did see it!

Now go back and read our comments - there was lots to notice - biggest thing to me:

Of course, some key pieces of info were left out of the synopsis - like they say that the boat that took Walt had 4 men on it - nope! Three men and one person in the shadows with long blonde hair and a feminine body, who looked yo be young adultish aged..

BTW - you do know that French Chickie's Alex - was a girl, who would be about 16?:evil:

[Dux]

[quote=Lady Arwyn]As I understand it, they are adding several main female characters to the show for the 2nd season.

[quote]

I figure the new characters will be introduced when the guys swim onshore and find them.

[Faren]

You are probably right, Dux! I was wondering how they were going to do that. I wonder...just how big IS that island????:erm:

[Jax]

I'll read the thread when I've got enough time Dux, maybe later tonight! ;)
Faren what I don't get is that after Sayid's first attempt, howcome they haven't tried to go all the way around the island? :shrug: That'd be one of the first things I'd do I reckon!

[Dux]

Me too - I mean what if there was a city on the other side? And there they are, "oh poor us, abandoned in the middle of nowhere", and if they walked a little further they would have seen the McDonalds.

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

The first season comes out on DVD soon!!!! :bouncy:

[Faren]

Me too - I mean what if there was a city on the other side? And there they are, "oh poor us, abandoned in the middle of nowhere", and if they walked a little further they would have seen the McDonalds.

Oh well...how can they stretch it to more than one season if all the questions are answered?

When does the new season start here, Dux?

Wow... that's 6 pm my time.. 2 hours earlier!

Now I gotta go back and read the entire thread! ;)

[spellwight]

The first season comes out on DVD soon!!!! :bouncy:

I've had mine pre-ordered on Amazon.com. :D

They've got it listed as Matthew Fox, contributor. WTHeck? Even Amazon has elected him leader? Me, I'd go with the either the wilderness geek or Iraqi ex-torturer as a leader.

Does anyone else hope that the new female blood means we get much much less of Kate? She serves absolutely NO purpose. Unless there's an award for the most overused line in TV history, "I'm coming too."

[Jax]

LOL Debbie!

I can't read the thread tonight :roll: too much crud going on! :ugg: but soon, promise!

Does she remind anyone else of Kris from the Freedom series? Doesn't do much but pushes herself into the front anyway..... ;)

Hmm stranded in a strange place.... monsters they don't understand...... *others* live there too and they don't know what they're up to...... Maybe the writers read Anne stuff? this is very Freedomish..... ;)

I got the following from ABC's website about the upcoming season. If you have not seen all of season one - DO NOT FOLLOW THE LINK! You have been warned.

http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/about.html

[spellwight]

Next Monday night @ 9:00 pm (depending on your area) ABC is having a sneak preview special on Lost: The Journey. A look at the series and a sneak peek of the upcoming season.

And from that last reference:

"Lost stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as the mysterious island man," OMG, imagine how many times that gets misspelled! I can't wait to hear how it's pronounced.

[Jax]

Ok, I think I've actually got time and the ability to sleep in toomrrow (it's after 12am here now) to read the thread!
But I'd just like to say here and now after watching the last episode tonight, and them speaking to yet another american(?) actor who can NOT do an aussie accent - AAAARRRGGGGGHHHHH!! :banghead: how hard would it have been for them to have gotten actual aussies for the 5 odd roles of aussies in the series?!?!?!?

[Jax]

*SPOILER alert for those who've not watched much yet*
This is a long post so you'll really have to squinch your eyes and scroll mucho! ;)










Anyone else getting tired of Kate's long looks of quiet understanding that she seems to give any male within 10 feet?
LOL have you been talking about this since then!?? :laugh: I don't get it either, she looks at them like she knows exactly what they're thinking - yelch!
Very interesting episode this week. I missed the first few minutes and walked in during a flashback scene and thought..Oh no...a rerun. Then realized the scene was from Jin's perspective. :eek: I still don't know why it was such a big deal that she couldn't tell him she spoke English. :roll:
Yeah I never got that either, though the only thing I can think of is because she learned it at first so that she could escape him and go to America or something no? And if she told him that she had learned it, it would have been something he hadn't controlled maybe?
So there I am watching Wednesday's episode on Replay (one the the bestest inventions ever!!) and it's on the scene showing Jin entering the Minister's house for the first time to deliver Sun's Dad's message. The Minister guy gestures to his little girl watching tv on the sofa and the scene quick flashes to her and the television.
WHAT THE...!!!!!
I think to myself, did I just see what I think I saw on that tv?
Since I am on Replay (did I mention this is THE BEST THING EVER?), I quickly rewind 14 seconds and rewatch the scene, playing close attention to what the little girl is watching on her tv set for the 5 seconds they show that part of the scene.
Guess what, or rather WHO is on the tv?
HURLEY! The tv screen has Japanese letters on the bottom and an action shot of HURLEY getting into a car.
?????????????????
One thing that wasn't explained. Why was Hurley on Korean TV? Would a lottery winner in the US really make Korean News?
Cool!! I didn't notice that the first time around - not sure why it would be on Japanese television, but sometimes we do hear over here about people who have won big in the lottery :erm:
:laugh: And Charlie getting offended when Hurley tells him he's worth $154 million back home. :D

:rofl2: That cracked me up so much when it happened!! Poor ole Hurley!
Anyone else crying buckets? I really didn't think my original guess was right (well, we don't know if Claire will name the baby for him). I really didn't want him to die. I wanted them to do the typical Hollywood ending where he gets saved at the last minute. I'm such a sap. :shake:
On the other front - did anyone else notice the missing umbilical cord?

Ugh yes, I hated when he died, I'm like you too Dux, good guys live, bad guys die, and no didn't notice no cord, did notice no afterbirth though!
Thought I'd report this to you all as it seems we all missed it. In the episode, two weeks ago when Boone was on the plane something weird happened. Remeber, Boone was trying to use the radio to sned out a message about them being on the Island. He sends out a message saying hello, is anyone out there? and got a response. Boone then says that "we're the survivors of Ocenia flight 815" the response he got back was pretty static-y and Locke was yelling in the background for Boone to get out of the plane. Well, it turns out that the response over the radio was Verrrrrry important. People have been posting about it on the Lost website and apparently the staic-y response back was one of three things it was either: "we're the survivors of flight 815" or "there were no survivors of flight 815" The second would make sense, but I've relistened to the audio over and over again, it it really sounds more like the first. Which means there are other survivors out there somewhere. :eek:
OOoohhh! So this ties in with the back end of the plane?
:laugh: I've been wondering about the dog too. I also do not like Kate. At least now we know what she was talking about when she said she killed the only man she ever loved.


For Faren - this week's flashbacks were Kate's again. It shows the time before she went to Australia - apparently her mom was dying of cancer and she was trying to get into the hospital to visit her. Working at the hospital is an old childhood friend who was her "childhood love". he is now married with a little girl. The old friend arranges things so that she can get in to see mom, who is under police guard (Kate is apparently already on the run from the police). Before going to see mom, they have a "remember when" session and end up going off to dig up a time capsule they buried as kids. Two important things in the capsule. The little airplane which belonged to the boy friend as a kid and a cassette of them leaving the capsule in which Kate implies she may have been abused as a child and was planning to run away as soon as she could drive. When she gets in to see mom, mom starts screaming for help which brings in the police - they chase her. She runs to her friend's car - he jumps in next to her and tries to convince her to turn herself in (the police are holding guns on the car). She begs him to get out of the car - he refuses, she tries to ram the car past the police who open fire. Friend is shot she escapes.
That made me /really/ dislike Kate!! How selfish of her to even think about trying to do what she did, and not think that maybe the guy sitting in the car might get hurt! :shake: bad Kate!
It's funny Kate and Sawyer really aren't all that different - they both have broken the law - they both are responsible for someone's death (actually Sawyer is worse here - he was trying to kill someone). Yet - I'm much more accepting of Sawyer than Kate. I think it's because Sawyer has never tried to hide what he was and Kate has made every effort to come off the angel - even after convincing Sun to poison Jin.
*nod nod nod*
That's debatable. It seems to have something to do with Walt and his powers. There were polar bears in the comic book he was "reading", so polar bears showed up. I think they are intended to be polar bears, not white phase Kodiaks.

If we want to epoche Walt's powers and island wierdity and look for another more realistic explanation, I would guess that the polar bears were being transported to some zoo and wrecked there like everyone else.
Ooohhh!
Arzt blowing up was cool. Blink and miss it. Good riddance.
I missed that part of the finale last week! I thought they might show it at the start of tonight's one, but they didn't!! :roll:
Okay -I'm a geek. You know it, I know it - so it won't come as a surprise to anyone that I decdide to rewatch the final episode and check out the whole "numbers" thing. I knew they were used a lot, but...

I rewatched only the part that showed what Hurley (aka Hugo Reyes) was doing the morning of the flight. In that 5 minutes or so segment:

his hotel room is 2342
when his car starts going kerblooey the dash board readings are: 42K, 23 degrees C, 16 kph (which then chnages to 15 kph, then 4 kph).
he pays the guy $16,000 for his scooter in the airport
the flight is leaving out of gate 23
as he runs through the airport he passes a girls' sports team - their jersey numbers, in order are: 4, 15, 16, 18, 23, 42

And all that is in 5 minutes!
:eek: :faint: I wonder if even the writers know what the numbers will really mean in the end!! :erm:


And now I'd just like to say AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH I have to wait until February to start watching season 2!!! :banghead:

[Dux]

Next Monday night @ 9:00 pm (depending on your area) ABC is having a sneak preview special on Lost: The Journey. A look at the series and a sneak peek of the upcoming season.

And from that last reference:

"Lost stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as the mysterious island man," OMG, imagine how many times that gets misspelled! I can't wait to hear how it's pronounced.

Are you sure about the date and time? Monday night on ABC is usually Football.

[Dux]

Ok, I think I've actually got time and the ability to sleep in toomrrow (it's after 12am here now) to read the thread!
But I'd just like to say here and now after watching the last episode tonight, and them speaking to yet another american(?) actor who can NOT do an aussie accent - AAAARRRGGGGGHHHHH!! :banghead: how hard would it have been for them to have gotten actual aussies for the 5 odd roles of aussies in the series?!?!?!?

:confused: Those accents must have been really awful, I don't even remember someone being Australian (other than Claire - but she actually is Australian).

[Dux]

And now I'd just like to say AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH I have to wait until February to start watching season 2!!! :banghead:

Now you know how we have all felt since May - although it does seem as though your wait is longer than ours was/is.

[spellwight]

Yes, I saw it advertised so I looked it up to be relatively sure. tvguide.com lists it AFTER the exhibition football game Monday August 29th at 9 here but probably later on the east coast where your "prime time" is 8-11. Here it's 7-10pm.

[Lady Arwyn]

:confused: Those accents must have been really awful, I don't even remember someone being Australian (other than Claire - but she actually is Australian).

The actress who plays Claire is Emilie de Ravin
Date of birth: 27 December 1981, Mount Eliza, Victoria, Australia

Dominic Monaghan plays Charlie, the only other supposed Australian, and he's actually from the UK, but born in Germany
Date of birth: 8 December 1976, Berlin, Germany

None of the other survivors are supposed to be Australian. So there are no Americans playing Australians (except maybe the extras for the flashbacks).

[Dux]

Charlie isn't Australian - his British. His brother moved to Australia either after the band broke up or after he got married.

[Dux]

*slaps forehead*

I forgot about time difference.

[Jax]

Yeah I'm talking about the extras like the chick that let Hurley onto the plane at the airport, *shudders* the cop who had someone in the station?? The dude at the travel place with Locke - I can't believe how utterly terribly horribly /bad/ the accents were!! :crazy: And I don't even like the aussie accent that much :roll:
The chick who plays Claire, she's a bit iffy also, since I'm pretty sure she's been in US for quite some time, I remember her as Tess from Roswell and I'd no idea she was an aussie until Lost, but sometimes her accent seems a little contrived as well... :erm:

[Jozell]

Those accents were awful I must say. Just awful. They made me laugh. And the supposed Sydney scenery (a la Hawaii). And don't get me started on the Kalgoorlie scene! They couldn't even pronounce it right. :irked: :banghead: :crazy: It all so not Australia.

Fortunately I took it will a grain of salt, since it is fiction after all, and didn't let the boo-boos get in the way of the story. But it still grates and takes away from the believability of it all.

But do you know what the worst mistake of all (in my eyes)? How Michael just happened to find some juvenile Eucalyptus kruseana leaves on a remote tropical island when Sun needed some to make the asthma remedy. Excuse me prop director! Didn't anyone mention to you they come from inland Western Australia? Bah!

[Jax]

Heheheh Joz

[spellwight]

Somehow I don't think polar bears are native to that island either. It's possible they could both be intentionally transplanted for whatever scientific (?) purpose the island has.

[Lady Arwyn]

Eucalyptus trees may come from Australia, but they were exported EVERYWHERE. In California the are so populous that they are considered an invasive pest with huge groves of them. I've seen them here in Colorado. I don't think I've ever been anywhere that didn't have the dang things. It's not unreasonable that they managed to make it to some little South Pacific island.

Yes, I am aware that the tree in question is very popular in the cut flower industry and that some eucalypts have been planted en mass around the world.

But please consider this is a remote and *lost* island that few people visit. I don't find it very believable that any species of Eucalytpus would be growing there. It's not like there is some Johnny Appleseed of eucalupts that travels around with seeds in his bags to expressly spread them around the world and wow, he just happened to get stranded on this island! :yeah:

In California it wasn't planted for the cut flower industry. As a very fast growing tree that regrows after being cut it was planted as firewood. Also as an instant shade tree. It turned out that it makes horrible firewood, so people stopped cutting it, and now it grows out of control. Many groves that were planted to line roads are now entire groves, taking over entire properties.

It seems to me that this island has been inhabited by several waves of people, accidently and on purpose. Given the fact that it is in the South Pacific, not that far from Australia, it's not unreasonable that one of those many people brought with them a tree that they find to have pleasant scent. Or even brought along for it's medicinal purposes.

And remember, this is an island that has some wierd magical properties. Walt conjures Polar Bears, Locke conjures magical boars. Why not a tree? This show claims no logic. Only wierd things.

[Mausey]

Maybe the tree seed arrived via bird express. :D

[Dux]

Actually, this theory has a lot of merit. people who seem to wish for something bad enough, "make" it appear. Walt wanted the polar bear to get back at his dad. Locke needed that boar to prove himself to be the hunter he claimed he was. Sun wanted the aloe to save Shannon. There was also Locke's whole speech to Charlie about how "if he believes" his guitar will appear, it will (yes, I know it was a set up, but it did happen) and Charlie did need his guitar to help him find the strength to get through his addiction. There is an argument to be made there.

:shhh: and of course, if you ask the producers that's what they'd say too. Because they would never admit that they made an oopsie. ;)

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

[Jozell]

What the - ?! I've just explained the tree in question naturally grows only a few hundred km from where I live in Western Australia, there is no way a bird could carry it that far, they don't migrate that way (north-south to the northern hemisphere yes, not east-west). And as for people taking it, it has been shown by DNA analysis (very recent study of rats DNA to discover where the Maori came from) that the Pacific islands were colonised by Polynesians that came no where near Australia.

The tree that Arwyn is talking about is probably Eucalyptus ficifolia - uh, make that Corymbia ficifolia, somebody felt they had to change the name :irked: - a tree that is actually rare and endangered in the wild! It only exists on 2 acres of land down the the far south of West Aus yet now it's a popular garden tree over all of Australia and it's trying to take over the US! There's irony for you. I know of a few other local plants like that too.

So to me having those trees in the show is unreal, but as we all know weird things happen on this island. I was just taking an opportunity having a bit of winge about the sloppy research and props in the show, not that they make all that much difference to the storyline anyway. I guess most people wouldn't pick up on those mistakes, but there's always someone like me that knows the truth and finds it odd.

[spellwight]

<hypnotic voice>Jozell . . . open your mind . . . don't be so literal . . . it's science fiction . . . who knows what weird and misplaced stuff we'll see in season 2 . . . it's OK . . . it's all in fun . . . </hypnotic voice> :D

At least I'm considering Lost to be science fiction. We still don't have proof that anything was conjured out of anyone's dreams, or thoughts, or wishes. I'm not even sure it's a real island! That hatch led to a pretty deep underground space so maybe it's a space ship . . . landed here centuries ago . . . collected samples (polar bears?) . . . maybe not even stationary . . . yeah, maybe it's a floating island which is how so many things from different regions of the world AND time frames have landed upon it . . .

I'm just going along for the ride ;)

I looked up your "Corymbia ficifolia" and I've never seen such a tree. The following picture is what I know as a "eucalyptus" tree.

Not sure which one that is, might be E. camaldulensis, which has managed to be transported around the world (there is an interesting story about the naming of that tree but it's not relevant to the discussionat hand). But there are over 600 species of Eucs and I'm not good at identifying them en spec, but I have been told in some parts of California the C. ficifolia is a problem too.

Excuse me but I haven't I already said that in my posts - I know it's fiction, maybe even science fiction and I was not letting it get in the way of a good story? Why is it all right for other people to pick the :swear: out of shows when they cross some line of knowledge they know about and when a show crosses something thats from my backyard suddenly it's not ok to have a go at them? sheesh! :irked:

alright, alright, I'm going..... :sad: :lurk:

I got my Season One DVDs and proceeded to watch 4-5 shows in a row. Like a really good movie. I love DVDs, with the freeze frame and the subtitles and stuff.

I've only seen one preview and Kate . . .

goes down the hole on a rope first and the light comes on and she screams. Hopefully that means she dies. :bouncy:

Muahahahahaha!

I was thinking - since people in other countries are still on season one, maybe we should start a new thread for seaon 2 discussions - this way they don't accidently see anything here...

Repeats tonight. (Both episodes.) The wifey and watched a DVD and now were watching Dirty Jobs.

Anyway, you really can't expect new episodes between Christmas and New Years. It's just not done...usually.

What about the UK? They started the first series late didn't they? When are they getting the second series??? We're getting it in January I think :bouncy:
