Missed

Yessss finally a mystery has been answered! We now know why desmond calls everyone brotha. Now if we can just explain Hurley’s overuse of the word “dude” my life will be complete.

Well let’s see….

Jack and Sawyer duel on a ping pong game of death because Kate decided to roll in the hay with Sawyer after seeing Jack brush her off for Juliette.

Meanwhile, Des gets sick of ’saving’ such a useless character like Charlie and decides to let himself get killed. Too bad Des is a chickenshit when it comes to committing and would rather hang out with men in a monastery than hang out with his x fiancee. So he gets kicked out the monastery and guess what, meets penny!

Anyways, we find out Goose from Top Gun actually landed on the Lost Island shortly after Des decides to save Chuckie’s life yet again only to find out Goose had a sex change and looks like some bushwomen from the Amazon jungle.

fin.

arrow through charlie’s throat was awesome.

the origin of brotha.

ackward sex scene with kate & sawyer.

some sort of search-party sent by penny.

testosterone charged game of ping-pong.

it was decent enough…

Well, I’m in Hawaii and the show starts in 30 min from now. I wasn’t going to watch it this week but hey, if they’re going to reveal the origin of brotha, how can I skip that?

And who doesn’t love a hearty game of ping pong woven into the plot of a major network television show?

ive never seen a game of ping pong so extreme in my life.

and the only scene in lost to make me laugh out loud was in last nights episode. where jin was telling a scary story in korean and everyone looked soo interested and acted like they understood.

lost is promising a TON to be revealed before the season is over, and even a armagedon-like war between the 815′ers and the others too gruesome for the original season one 8 ‘clock time slot.

ps the girl that came from the helicopter is hott

I didn’t watch all 60 (40?) minutes, but from what I saw, I say Desmond is the coolest (?) character on the show now. yet, I still hardly care about what happens to him.

not that THIS epi was great, but Des just seems cooler than the rest (sawyer, kate, jack) who seem to just waste film each week. in season 1, the conflict b/w jack and sawyer seemed legit. now it’s contrived, and based on the sensitivities of a con man?? (seriously…sawyer was wounded b/c he thought kate used him?) anyway…they need to rethink that triad…or not…I care little anymore.

So it’s back to the Jack-Kate-Sawyer love triangle. Good to see the writers can still keep it fresh after 3 seasons. I tell you where’s a swarm of paralysing spiders, a rampaging polar bear or a smoke monster when you need them.

Isn’t anyone going to say anything about Kate’s semi-clothed state when Sawyer walks in on her? That was the best part of the show, Brotha!

I was so hoping that it was Cheech under the helmet…

Tyler! You haven’t given up completely on the show, have ya?

Anyway, I’ll spare you dudes the pointless fawning that I usually do over the episodes of our favorite show. As you probably figured, I dug Wednesday’s episode, and agree with Skeptic that Desmond is one of the coolest characters on the show, so I find his backstories naturally intriguing. And honestly, the fact that he calls everyone “brother” makes complete sense now. This is one case where I wasn’t completely bored with the flashbacks — they were telling a pretty detailed story, that being Desmond’s hope that there’s something bigger out there for him, and I thought they did a pretty good job in this case. That’s high praise from me, because I usually loathe the flashbacks.

Now, to what I disliked. I honestly hope that the Lost writers are reading this board, cause I’m gonna say it again: REALLY. NO ONE CARES ABOUT WHO KATE PICKS. WE REALLY REALLY REALLY DON’T. Seeing Jack and Sawyer playing ping-pong, though, was kind of interesting, I guess. But it was the B-plot, so I’m not going to focus on it too much. But PLEASE PLEASE STOP WITH THE KATE SHIT. She is still not a good actress, she never will be, and seriously, the viewers just don’t want to watch this dreck anymore. Hook her up with Bernard or something.

Glad Charlie didn’t croak. I still have hope for him yet, and I think the writers are actually doing a decent job of UNassassinating his character.

Anyone ever read Catch-22? You should. It’s most excellent.

i like how they picked the korean guy to be the one to tell the horror story by the campfire. wonderful timing. they write each episode at the last minute; is last minute editing not an option?

I just don’t understand why we needed another whole episode dedicated to Desmond’s fear of commitment. We already knew he was destined to do something “special” & we already knew that a relationship with a woman wasn’t going to get in the way of that. So the whole hour was essentially dedicated to showing us why Desmond calls people brother & how he met Penny (I know I was personally DYING to know the answer to that burning question). Oh, and to once again show us that Kate is a total hose-bag slut. We all knew that wasn’t Penny under the helmet to begin with, just like we all knew Des wasn’t going to let Charlie get speared. The REALLY good news though: yet ANOTHER new character, who will no doubt be unceremoniously slaughtered at the hands of the Others in the season finale (if the spiders, polar bears or black boiling fuzz don’t get her first). Yet another underwhelming episode of season 3 filler.

For God’s sake, did we really need to see Kate reaching down to grab Sawyer’s junk? Blargh.

The writers decided to seal the deal and completely emasculate Sawyer. The con-man who once had an edge is now a raging love-lorn limp-wrist. Well done, gentlemen.

In the name of all that is holy, please end the love quadrilateral between K/S/S/J. THE…STORY…LINE…SUCKS! There is absolutely nothing redeeming about it and it makes Jack look more and more like the worthless, gutless waste of space he is. Then again, it’s kind of nice to be able to fully despise Jack.

There is one major problem with LOST that I finally figured out last night. And it is that the writers have managed to eliminate the show’s heroes. Locke used to be a hero, Jack used to be a hero, Sawyer used to be a hero, etc etc. Over the past season or so the writers have managed to obliterate the compelling aspects of each of these characters that made them a hero or an “anti-hero”, and now they are all a bunch of whimpering, sniveling panty-wastes.

There’s no one left for the viewers to rally around. Everyone is a tool in one way or another. We just don’t care what happens to anyone. The only character that’s been even remotely interesting has been Desmond and that’s because he has a super power.

While I’m not saying that this episode totally sucked, I can say that LOST the series really **does** suck now.

In the name of all that is holy, please end the love quadrilateral between K/S/S/J K/S/J/J

I’m about ready to pull chocks on this show. I mean, what did we learn of value? Nothing! They are no closer to being saved then they were after episode 1. So a helicopter finds them, when/if the hot pilot talks, she’ll say her instruments went haywire, and was miles of course, and no one knows where she is, etc. And tell me why/how did a purse end up in a tree that far inland, when the copter crashed way out in the ocean, and the pilot landed so far inland. I’m steamed about the crap they just made us sit through, it was a filler show and all we got out of it was Desmond was a monk (Brutha) and he met Penelope (Penny). After I taped and watched last night, I was thinking I’ll watch to the end of this season, but if they don’t tell us who the others are, what the island is, why are they there, etc., by the end of this season, I probably won’t watch next year. Watching the story line in Lost is like watching the paint dry. What is the big deal if they reveal all of that? There can still be a good show of flashbacks, and they could even do a series of shows that would be something like pre-lost, ie how they all ended up there, how they are all related, like Locke’s dad is the one who conned Sawyer’s mom, etc. I know we know snippets of these pre crash details, but there’s so much more to tell, and if they did it all in an episode instead of flashing back, it would be fairly decent I think. Bottom line, I’ve been a long holdout, but last night’s episode just about pushed me over the edge.

Just when we were thinking LOST was finally showing some promise again, they go and let all the air out of its sails. After two steps forward, here was the step back. The producers continue to kill time and overdraw on the good will of the fans. Were any of the promised hints from last week’s preview explored? Any at all? All that buildup for another new character — just what LOST needs at this late date. The buzz over at LOST-media suggests more deaths to come, so this new chick will either be one of the casualties or else a replacement. Either way, ho hum, another new set of flashbacks to kill more time next season. Four eps remain and they better do something momentous if they expect anyone to tune in after the summer.

I was already in a foul mood when I began watching last night’s episode because Sanjaya was voted off American Idol and Felix Hernandez blew out his elbow (likely ruining his career), and Lost did nothing to cheer me up.

Yes, we know why Desmond says “brothah” all the time now — because some priest in a monastery with the exact same fake Scottish accent gave him the title. About the only memorable part of the flashback was Desmond questioning God’s barbaric command to Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. The priest should have answered, “90% of the Old Testament consists of various God sanction acts or murder, rape, genocide, and other forms of cruelty, get over it”. I was satisfied that Desmond called everyone “brothah” as part of some odd personality quirk, I didn’t need to know that it was tied to his inability to ever commit to anything.

When Charlie asked Desmond whether he could bring his guitar on the camping trip/suicide mission, I wanted Desmond to say, “Yeah Charlie, bring the f*cking guitar with you so I can smash it over your deformed hobbit head and fulfill the death prophecy and get it over with,” but alas that didn’t happen.

I agree that the ping pong game was the highlight of the show — although they have used the ping pong table in about five episodes now. I guess they have to justify the $500 of the show’s budget they spent for it. The game reminded me of Forest Gump in the Chinese ping pong championships with Jack and Sawyer slamming the ball back and forth — and supposedly Jack hasn’t played since he was 12 years old.

At the beginning, when the credits were rolling interminably during the opening scenes, I noticed that one of the “Assistant Associate Producers” was someone name Adam Horowitz. Isn’t that one of the Beastie Boys? That would explain some things.

This episode served to make me even more depressed than I already was, no mean feat. The only bit of good news of the day was that the Sonics lost, guaranteeing that they would have a more favorable position in the draft lottery. But even that bit of “good news” is tainted by the likelihood that the Sonics are almost certainly leaving town after next season.

jin telling the story in koreon was the funniest part of the entire season of lost!

did anyone notice that old lady that desmond was with when he went back in time, she was in the monks picture.

Wow! That was a really great episode! I really enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun. It was a nice break from my really boring life. I am really happy to see that the writers are coming up with fresh ideas to keep the show interesting, week after week. The show was so awesome that when it was over I played a game of ping-pong with some of my dudes. Not attractive women that haven’t had a proper shower in months there though! Anyway, just want to say hi to everyone and let them know that I reeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllly loved last nights ep! Can’t wait for next week!….

The whole ping pong game with jack and Sawyer combined with Sawyer going soft and Jack’s never ending emotional roller coaster, anyone else expecting them to come up with a Sawyer likes Jack story line? It would also tie in nicely with the whole the others are a homosexual community line that someone brought up the other month.

wow you guys are really negative, i almost feel sorry for you guys. maybe you should talk about important issues instead of why this super minority group of lost haters, hate lost.

it seeems to me that lost makes u moe angry than the shootings and virginia tech. or the “War” or the 2012 dooms day, or the fact that china will take over the world if the world doenst end in 2012

stop watching lost, dont complain. GOSHHH didnt your mom’s teach u that if u dont ahve anything nice to say dont say anything at all? but nooo you have to make a website about your worthless negative opinions

I didn’t watch last nights show.

So fill me in why does Desmond call everyone “brother?”

Also is this episode worth watching at all, or should I try next weeks?

Long time listener… second time poster…

This was the first episode I missed too, NHL Playoffs are on and they’re far more interesting.

I was a huge fan of this show in the first year, what with the “monster” and that cave, etc. (whatever happened to the two bodies they found in the cave anyhow?), and the “hatch”… but now the show is a joke. It’s show after show of pointless seemingly unrelated scenes. Like what did those two new characters they introduced and then killed off in the same episode have to do with anything (and that was pretty mean-spirited if you think about it)

Anyhow, I don’t hold much hope for next season, either.

Paul.

So I read all the posts, apparently I didn’t miss much. Although I am intrigued by the prospect of the half naked Kate. As long as she doesn’t try to speak of course. So other than another ping pong game, lame love quadrangle shit, and yet another new character dropping from the sky, anything else I may have missed? Was Charlie shot with an arrow or not? Did he have some miraculous recovery?

SERIOUSLY: WHAT HAPPENED? I missed too, because I was having a life– again…..

i thought it was a good episode. Why?

first, of corse all of us have probably read spoilers and already knew about naomi. but it would be really shocking if we expected to see Penny like Dez, and then go WTF?? is it because desmond saved charly penny turned into that different chick?

the flashback was good because it actually explained his characted, while previous flashbacks of dez were more of action. we saw him as a very strong personality ,yet conflicted and easily manipulated.
i don’t know really, maybe that’s because i enjoy religious themes in Lost.

and one more thing. am i the only one who thinks Kate isn’t hot? seriously, if they needed a bitch in the show they could pick a hotter looking actress.
well i thought she was hot in the first season. but somehow her face has become so pointless plastic doll looking now. and the same with Sun. If you ever saw kelley hazells face or maybe pamela anderson (who the hell is even she?)you’d know what i mean.
just look at that stupid face expression of sun whight highlights how pointless her character is.

the ones i THOUGHT were hot was libby and juliet (first time i saw her)
