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.
yes, it recalls the great mystery of jack’s tats, which by the way, has only been half-way answered! so much to look forward to!!
I can never get enough “brotha”.
I feel as though the Lost writers are responding to all my wishes. It’s like that hit Oprah book, ‘The Secret’. I want it and it comes to me.
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.
“Anyways, we find out Goose from Top Gun actually landed on the Lost Island ”
that’s messed up! but funny…maybe they’ll rename that part of the island the “danger zone”?
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…
Also, Sawyer had a great line, “Are you two playing who’s your favorite Other?”
Made me laugh.
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
nice…extreme ping pong, er…table tennis
anyone who’s played, ever, can tell you that ping-pong ball wouldn’t last a day. GAH! just one more way this show is totally unrealistic! ; )
I suggest for you the film “Forest Gump”.
I think it’s a golf ball. They don’t have ping pong balls. But if it is a ping pong ball, I would like to see that in a flashback episode where kate goes to the sports store to buy a ping pong ball.
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.
I like Desmond’s character as well. He doesn’t create tension, he doesn’t have awkward relations with the other characters and he has truly saved everyone for crissake (he is selfless to a fault). Jack is a control freak, Sawyer is solipsistic, Kate has molestation issues (why she is an opportunistic whore), Charlie is a whiner, Hurley is an adultlescent, Locke (who is my second favorite) needs his daddy to love him, Claire is pointless, Jin is speechless, Sun translates, Rousseau is a writer’s crutch, and Juliet is a sad, sad clown with a painted smile.
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’m still waiting for Rose’s nude scene
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Reading This cliché, “I think I threw up…” has made me throw up a little in my mouth which then made me poop a little in my drawers, which made me then puke a little more in my mouth, but then my mouth couldn’t hold more and I spit some up and then I crapped more and it went down my leg, and my dog licked it up which made me puke a little more and all on account of Jennifer Anniston using this line in a film after Drew Barrymore had used it first and everyone found it cute which made me puke a little…
i think i love you
Don’t ask don’t tell my friend- I don’t know if it matters to you but Laurent is a man. *giggles*
Figured that was from a movie all by yourself.
I was so hoping that it was Cheech under the helmet…
Now THAT would’ve been a surprise!
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.
In Nicospeak, I totally see this as a glowing, intensely positive episode review. Did you enjoy the ping-pong match as well?
Actually, the ping-pong match was one this episodes better points. It reminded me of the fact that inspight of the whole Kate situation, Jack & Sawyer actually kind of like each other. I also thought the part with Jin tellling the ghost story was kind of amusing. I mean, despite all the poor writing this season I’m still sporadically reminded of the things I liked about the characters. The plot however has veered so far off course I just don’t see how they’re going to tie all these loose threads together. More importantly, I’ve been strung along for so long now I just really don’t care anymore. Off the subject: did anybody notice the picture the head Monk had sitting on his desk was of him & the lady from the antique store where Des tries to buy Penny’s ring? Yet another “easter egg” that will probably never come to fruition.
Jack and Sawyer are the closest thing to homoeroticism that Lost has to offer, well, besides Bernard and Rose.
Yes, I saw that photo too! It implies that they are in fact pushing Des on his way, as agents of the Dharma Gang. Most likely, it’s JJ Abrams’ six-degrees love affair at work.
Well, I never mind a little homoeroticism which puts me in a minority of straight men in America. Or at least the minority of men who don’t pretend to be shocked by it. Of course, I did find those elements of 300 to be a bit over the top so I do draw the line somewhere.
Yes, Xerxes The Transgendered, was a little off the mark, but apparently he gives great massages… WTF?
As for Lost, I’d like to see a Kate/Claire hookup.
You, me & every other straight man who watches the show…
you’re right, nothing much revealed and another character to not care about.
still, Des is cool, if only b/c everyone else has become so damn pathetic.
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.
Very well said RL, they’ve left us nobody to root for. I used to absolutely love Locke’s character & they’ve made him into a stereotypical nutcase. Everybody else is just a whuss or persona non grata.
You hit the nail on the head brotha. The entire scene leading up to the spike in Charlie’s neck had a debate about superheroes taking place. It was another paean of sorts to the audience. A debate about characters. In the debate each superhero has a weakness, just as all their characters do. However, the debate ends with the true, and sole heir to the superhero crown saving another life (that Being Desmond). Yet, it shows that he was also responsible for the situation in the first place, thus bringing him back down to mortal status. However, he is the only character to have saved everyones’ lives.
In the name of all that is holy, please end the love quadrilateral between K/S/S/J K/S/J/J
Yeah really Jack needs to have sex with Claire
Hey! I said that a few weeks back… now that would be a plot twist… a little incest between siblings who are actually related by blood. Unlike those dead cry-babies Boone & Shannon.
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.
I am in total agreement about giving up after this season unless they give us some answers about something important. Enough is enough already.
Agreed…I’m in. However, I know that if we go down that road, we’ll be like addicts trying to stay away from their favorite buzz modality. In that case, we can start a support group site where we meet weekly and say things like “I haven’t seen an episode of lost for 3 weeks now…”
In the end though, I’m sure we’ll be right back here in the fall, pissing and moaning because we’re too stubborn (read “stupid”) to follow through. “God grant me the serenity to not watch season 4 if the rest of this season continues to suck…”
*starts to sob* My name is Nico & I’m a Lost addict. I know it rots my brain, makes my teeth fall out & alienates me from loved ones…but I just can’t stop watching.
“I probably won’t watch next year.”
it’ll be very easy to not watch next season, since nexts season won’t start until Jan 2008. who’s going to miss this show after 7+ months? show of hands…? anyone…?
You got it, no answers, plus 7 month wait? They’ll be lucky to get a million viewers back. I think they realize it will be the last season. It could have been a great show, they just pushed the limits and now even hard core fans (I don’t consider myself one, just USED to like the show) are going to second guess why they are watching.
Now, if we get the mystery answers we all crave, then I don’t mind hanging for 7 months, it will be fine with shows like Eureka and Heroes, I can divert my brain. But if they end it without giving the story of what Dharma is, and why the “others” are on the island, then I’m done. I’ll maybe watch the finale in season 4, maybe a few others, but if they’re still dragging out the franchise at that point, then I won’t be watching.
I still think they have a great after lost series, could still be called lost, but I think there is a lot of complexity in the characters, and lots to explain about Dharma, etc. So they figure out the island this year, work with the others next year to get off the island assuming Ben wasn’t lying and they can’t summon ships anymore, that would make for good continuation, but this crap can’t go on like it is.
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.
Just wanted to point out that Desmond AKA Henry Ian Cusick is actually Scottish, was raised in Scotland and the accent isn’t “fake”.
Actually, he is 1/2 Scottish & 1/2 Peruvian (on his mother’s side) & spent most of his life in Peru- making Spanish his native language. The accent is most certainly not an authentic Scottish Brogue; although calling it “fake” is probably a bit of an overstatement.
Well, yes he’s only half, but he did go to Scottish Schools and spent a significant amount of time in Scotland, plus I’m sure his dad has the scottish accent. I’d equate it to Mel Gibson being Australian, he’s lost his accent but could probably “fake” one pretty good. I have a friend who’s wife is Scottish but hasn’t lived there in 20+ years and she still has the accent, but only on certain words can you tell. Being of Scottish descent myself, I think the accent is more English than Scottish but I still wouldn’t call it fake.
That’s exactly what I was getting at- it’s not a standard Scottish brogue, but it’s a legitamite accent that’s a fusion of Scottish/Peruvian/generic UK/European/whatever…
Mel Gibson was born in the USA and moved to Oz at 13.
True- that’s where his daddy learned ‘im the Holocaust never happended.
“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.”
Actually, Adam Horowitz is the Jewish equivalent of John Smith.
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.
Yep, I already pointed out that the Oracle (oh wait, that’s The Matirx… ) was in the Monk’s photo.
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!….
Ha! That’s rich Jim. What I really like is how subtle your facetiousness is. I mean, you almost had me there for a second…
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.
Actually, I thought that was about the only part of the episode that didn’t suck. Not the ping-pong game itself, just the chemistry between the two characters. Even early in the show when Sawyer was still “tough” (though I still contend he was never as tough as a lot of you seem to remember) there always seemed to be a grudging respect between he & Jack. I thought it was some of the more natural acting we’ve seen as of late.
The “Flame Theory” is no more embraced here than over at Losttheories.com.
Kidding…actually, every single time a reference to the flame comes up on here, i actually laugh out loud.
I’ll vote for a jack/sawyer love connection story line…at least that way, we can see the emotional conflict in kate as she becomes jealous of…well, both of them I guess and we can all take bets on who she runs off to sleep with to comfort herself. After seeing that Gia clip on metacafe, my guess would be juliette.
I’d just as soon see Sawyer kick the crap out of Jack and return to the days of being a barely tolerable scum as opposed to the good-natured rogue he’s become. And to the poster below, I’m very upset by the VaTech shootings, can’t stand Bush and have real problems. In ur oppinion, i gues u r being postive by teling us we cant hav a bit of funn. Dor swings both wayz dude. It’s just a TV show, brutha.
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
This isn’t the first time Mr. “I can’t spell worth a damn” has posted something like this. I don’t know what’s more insulting: your assualt on the English language or your bringing up VT as a way to try & insult us. This is a site about a fucking TV show you illiterate twat. If I want to dive into current events I go to CNN.com. And what the fuck is a 2012 doomsday? Is that the Aztec calander bullshit? Are you fucking kidding me? Do us all a favor, go back to YouTube & keep posting about how 9/11 was a conspiracy between the Jews & Walt Disney Co. alright? You fucktard.
Hey Chuckles, I know you just posted to shock a gobble out of one of us, so I am happy to oblige. If you actually followed this website you would realize that most of the negative posts come from people who really loved LOST in the beginning and are pissed at how crappy it has become (like ME, for example).
It’s not like we are coming on here and saying “LOST SUXXORS!”, or “OMFG LOST IS GAY!”. Just about every negative statement is supported by evidence from the show.
Get off your high horse, pal.
well when you put in those terms…
blow me!
Shut the fuck up and read some previous blog entries before posting shit like this, please.
God. You guys were right the whole time. Fanboys exist. And they’re annoying.
Meant to type this before, but the Virginia Tech travesty really sucks. That’s some horrible shit.
I agree; and to put in the same sentence as a gripe about a pop culture web-site makes me want to find johnnymushymouth & slap him upside the head. I applogize to all for my profanity laden rant, but that guy really brought out the ‘ole hot blooded Italian temper there.
Yeah, but he deserved it, and you saved the rest of us from saying it.
Yes JT,
Come to the dark side.
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?
He was a wine making Monk for a brief time & Monk’s call each other “brother”. Basically just a lame explanation to fill some time & show how he met Penny.
He joined a monastery — all of the monks there refer to each other as “brother.”
It’s actually a bit deeper than that, but that’s the short answer. I know. It sounds really stupid. Like I said, though, I thought his backstory was one of the better-executed that I’ve seen, at least recently.
Ha! Pinch, poke, owe me a Coke… Maybe we really are seperated at birth or something JT?
Whoa. Awesome. The funniest part? They’re completely opposite opinions.
(in ominous voice) WHICH ONE SHOULD DAVID TRUST?
Hmmmm…I seem to recall someone advancing a theory about JT and Nico actually being the alter egos of the same person…support for this theory is building.
Shit, Stick, what do you think the “T” in “JT” stands for?
Heh.
Thanks guys.
Desmond is one of the better character, although I am afraid to invest time in him seeing as I really liked Eko too and, we all know where that went.
Maybe I should procure a copy of last night’s episode. hmmmm?
Wine from Scotland must be utter shit.
Of this, and only of this regarding this show, I am sure.
I’m sure you’re right, probably really heavy on the peaty, smokey flavour. Good for Scotch, bad for wine.
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.
NHL playoffs? Are you Canadian? It’s OK if you are, all misfits are welcome here; even ones who think fries & gravy is a good idea… Hope this won’t be your last post, we’re always looking for converts- kind of like those Monks that Des was hanging out with.
I miss the mysteriousness of the first season. I really thought it was an amazing show back then. But even more so i beat myself up for not trying poutine when i was in quebec. is it good? that’s a mystery i want solved
Preferable with ketchup.
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?
nah, we saw charlie take a bolt in the throat a few times (via des’ visions), but in the end, des didn’t let charlie die.
of course, the fact that hurley convinced jin and charlie to go “camping” when they’ve all been…camping…for 70+ days seems odd. if I’d been living on the beach under a tarp propped up by 3 sticks for a couple months and someone said, “dude, wanna go camping?”, i think my first question would be “are you retarded?”
speaking of the ridiculous…
jin and co. should start rapping and form the Jinsane Clown Posse.
Yes, they can spray the crowd with some sort of awful kimchee & squid flavored Korean soda instead of Fago.
SERIOUSLY: WHAT HAPPENED? I missed too, because I was having a life– again…..
Same stuff that happens every week, Hurley says “dude” a few times, Jin speaks Korean and they listen like they know what he’s saying, Des acts all wierd, and Jack, Kate and Sawyer get a scene so they can be credited with being in every episode. I think it was the first episode that Locke wasn’t in, though. Oh, forgot to mention the hype of the episode was better than the actual episode (as usual).
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.
Yes, Penny now turned into a Latina named Peso.
Her dad didn’t find Desmond worthy of his favorite 100% Agave Tequila…
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.
hxxp://bp0.blogger.com/_RrObyQ3XzcY/RiULLwPyl5I/AAAAAAAAEPs/2fcZJeBvDTI/s400/c004457cf7.jpg
the ones i THOUGHT were hot was libby and juliet (first time i saw her)
If they needed a “bitch” in the show? Good God, Turk- where are you? The one time we actually need a little righteous indignation & you’re nowhere to be found…
Brotha Turkey to the rescue!!!! Bad bad Rambler. Is your name really Flavor Flav? I actually thought the post was too moronic to respond to but thanks for having my back, Nico.
Well at least you guys have someone else to try and censor now.
I wouldn’t suggest censoring anybody, I was really just making a jokey. You know I’ve got no problem with your less than politically correct ways Jim, I’m all for keepin’ it real yo.
Ahh shucks. I think Big Jim is still sad. For the record, never sought to silence you, Big Jim. I will say again that I actually think that you are funny, dude. You just appear to be chanelling for Ol’ Dirty Bastard sometimes, which is your perogative entirely, just as it’s my perogative to point it out.
isn’t this the second straight week they’ve had partial partial nudity? last week juliet in bed, side boob. now kate. are they trying to pander to 12 year old boys? I thought this was the “smart” show…
As long as I don’t have to look at EL’s face, I’m good with ass and boob shots. If you’ve seen Gia, you’ve seen more of Juliet than a side boob. Why doesn’t Claire (EdR) strip down and go for a swim? That’s what I’m waiting for. The life saving scene way back was disappointing, she was overly dressed for being in the water.
Yeah i wouldn’t mind seeing claire naked. it sure beats listening to her talk to charlie, “i love you. now i hate you. now i love you. now i hate you. now i love you. now i hate you.”
Preevyet: “I’m good with ass and boob shots. If you’ve seen Gia, you’ve seen more of Juliet than a side boob.”
Well, it’s good to know that in my absence the discussion on this site remains as profound and inspired as always. Thank you for hard work, Preevyet.
Thank goodness the gobbler is back. I was beginning to feel like the Andy Roony of ‘Whylostsucks.com’, the lone curmudgeon!
Full frontal nudity would save this show…for me, anyway.
Sure, as long as it’s not Hurley.
Yeah, the problem is that Hurley probably has the biggest boobs (moobs?) of anyone.
You’re just jealous of Hurley’s man tits. Gobble gobble.
They could have a huge gang bang on the beach but it would be 4 seasons before anyone came.
That could bring a whole new meaning to Tantric sex; which oddly enough kind of goes along with the whole Dharma Initiative theme…hmmm….
ha! funny…
actually, if this probably would play well on skinemax…the acting’s about as good.
Since my “Flame” theory proved so popular, I thought I would post another theory that I submitted on TV.com some time back (it was universally panned much like the “Flame” theory. This theory is called “The Children of God”:
In the spirit of the “Da Vinci Code,” all of the losties are descended from Jesus Christ himself. As we now know thanks to James Cameron, Jesus was not resurrected and was in fact buried in his family tomb. Indeed, it has been discovered that He had children. Given that Jesus was Jewish and the Jews were scattered throughout the world after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D (”the diaspora”), it is not inconceivable that Jesus’ descendants are currently living throughout the world. Quite literally, these people would be related to God and thus be “special”. As the rapture approaches (as foretold in the Book of Revelation), God has planned that all of his “children” come together in one place in preparation for the coming Armageddon. The seemingly random connections between the various losties can also be explained using this theory. The island itself is analogous to Israel (The “holy land”). As God promised his chosen people a land of milk and honey after Moses led the Jews out of Egypt, so the losties have inherited that privilege and the island represents God’s new covenant with his children.
dharma brand milk and honey? if that’s true and all the losties are god’s children, then in upcoming episodes, we’re going to learn that jack’s and claire’s father actually fathered everyone on the island, which would also prove nietzsche’s theory that god is dead.
That’s actually not a bad one… I can’t imagine that they’d go THAT religious on us but you never know. As for James Cameron, don’t get me started. That “naked archeologist” guy he worked with spends one show trying to show that the books of the Torah WERE handed down directly through Moses from God (as opposed to written by serveral different people over several centuries as most Biblical scholars agree) & then does a special where they supposedly find the tomb of THE Jesus Christ. Then they air it the week of Lent to add insult to injury. Now, I’m no anti-semite; nor am I a particularly religious person in general. All I’m saying is leave the religious politics out of archeology & science in general Sorry, that was WAY off topic.
James Cameron completely lost his mind with the success of his Titanic film. The IMAX Titanic film (my wife dragged me) put me to sleep (literally). He has totally abandoned scifi, something Aliens, Abyss, and Terminator proved that he was great at. These directors want to transcend their art. Cameron wants to be an archaelogist or something. He’s bonkers.
Religion, nowadays, is reduced to an atavistic process for most sane people, nothing more. A way to stay connected, as the Catholic Church for example, to the Roman past. The last vestiges of ancient Rome live on through the church. Judaism can be traced back to the Kings of David and Solomon. If people actually believe the religious BS they deserve to be woken up, and a rude awakening is often insultive.
I hope Lost steers clear of this minefield.
I sure hope Kate helps Sawyer overcome his dyslexia. He’s been stuck in the middle chapters of that same book for 2 month now.
be careful…next epi:
Scene – exterior, beach, sunny…Sawyer sits reading a book…Hurley approaches…
HURLEY: Dude, what ever happend to that warm beer…
SAWYER: [raises his hand - STOP!] Wait…just a second…almost….THERE! Finished! I finally finished this book I have been reading for the past 70 days even though it appeared that I was not making progress I really was making progress until just now when I finally finished this book.
End scene…
Noooooo. He’s reading Lost–the book, and that’s why he’s not getting anywhere.
Yeah, & it’s an Agatha Christie book- she’s not exactly a difficult read.
nothing to see here…
seriously…
thought it was worth posting that last week’s LOST scored 11.75m viewers. that doesn’t include DVR watcher, who according to LOST fanatics, almost certainly total some 10 million (that’s a joke).
that 11.75 is down from previous “lows” earlier this season when the show held steady at around 12.75m. AND, that 11.75m barely beat the 11.05m put up by a CSI:NY repeat.
JT, if you’re reading, you might want to start a friends & family plan to help boost those numbers.
(sobs)
But…
http://www.syfyportal.com/news423515.html
According to the above site, Lost gains about 2 million viewers from DVR recordings, which sounds a lot more reasonable than the 10 million figure that I’m sure fanatics are tossing around. Yeah, a lot of viewers are definitely frustrated with the show, but I still think that a number of factors (the 10 p.m. scheduling issue, the producers’ reluctance to put it head-to-head against the ever-shitty American Idol) are also hurting it.
Of course, I have no way of verifying these numbers.
Well I think it’s a safe bet that there will be no season 5 at this point. Which means one of two things: 1) Every episode of the next & final season will be chock-full of answers to all the questions we’ve been posing. You would really have to bust out the plot advancement with crack-pipe gusto in order to wrap things up in one season. Or: 2) Nothing will ever get resolved & the show will end with 90% of the mysteries unsolved (Alias anyone? X-files anyone? Twin Peaks anyone? the list goes on…). Guess which scenario I’m betting on?
i’m not sure which way it’ll go. i’ve read a few things alluding to season 4 being the last. but the show still makes money (i think) and ranks high in that 18-49 range (does that range leave ANYONE out?!)…
here’s my predicted scenario, I think the show holds steady through the rest of this season, but after a very long break, drops under 10m viewers when it returns in 2008. probably draws in the 7-8m viewer range making it a real question whether ABC brings it back for season 5.
if they don’t, there’s a frenzied and hurried attempt to ‘wrap things up’ in the last 3 episodes, which are all crap.
if they DO bring it back, it’ll be like the last season of many other shows that have hung on too long and we all find ourselves channel surfing 2 years from now and stumbling on LOST and asking ourselves “this show is still on??”
Lord, that’s true- I find myself going “that show is still on?” daily as I’m channel surfing. I just thought that last night when I came upon The Sopranos.
(sobs)
To be fair, a different news site I stumbled across earlier today listed the number of Tivo/DVR watchers at around 2 million, which sounds more accurate. The site also trumpeted the fact that Lost is supposedly at the head of the pack when it comes to next-day viewing. Of course, I have no way of verifying any of this as true.
Nico — The last batch of Sopranos episodes, by the way, have been pretty damn good, actually. Dunno if you’re a casual watcher or what, but the writing for that show is unbelievably good. All my opinion.
I actually watched about 35 minutes of last nights episode & found it annoying as hell. You knew there was no freakin’ way Tony is gonna’ whack out Paulie; and didn’t the Junior try to kill Tony like 4 seasons ago (slight exaggeration)? We’re still on about that? Plus the angry asian kid from Xmen 3 is a putz & a completely unnecessary character. We already saw enough angry old farts with Livia, it’s boring now.
This is Junior’s first major (and probably one) appearance this season, and from what I hear, he’s gonna croak pretty soon. So problem solved. Livia was truly an evil conniving bitch, and you gotta admit she added quite a bit to the show before the actress passed.
I do agree, though, that there’s no way in hell the creators could ever live up to the first season, which I thought was phenomenal.
The first two (maybe even three) seasons were very good. I stopped watching regularly after Tony killed Ralphie (I love Joey Pants by the way, best acting in The Matrix) with the oven cleaner. The acting is still solid & I still think James Gandolfini is one of the most menacing screen presences since Edward G. Robinson; but the plot has meandered too far. Having said all that: I still contend as far as the portrayal of Italian Americans (outside the mob stuff, I mean like- around the kitchen table) it’s pretty dead on. All the stuff about ziti & cappucola (gabagahl) & calling the red sauce “gravy” & just the way Tony talks to his kids makes me laugh because it all could have been said around my families table.
The Sopranos are a Neapolitan crime syndicate, no? Being that the mafia tends to always be Sicilian this has thrown me off a bit. But, maybe that is why they seem to be “authentic” Italians. You know what the real Italians (the ones actually in Italy) say about Sicily not being an island off of Italyt…
Anyway, here’s a prime example of a show that let its audience wither. 2 years between seasons?
Most of the Mob started with Cicilians, this is true. However the culture of southern Italy (Calabria) is very similar right down to the dialects & food, so when they all came to the States together it wasn’t a difficult alliance to form. As more Italians flooded into the American neighborhoods, the Cicilians, Calabrese, Neopolitans, etc, all mixed together & started to forget most of the factionalism that kept them apart in the old country. My family tree has it’s roots in Rome, but many of our cousins & extended family are from Cicily. And yes, I am aware of what the Italians say about Cicily…
that should be Sicilian by the way-
WHERE’S MY FREAKIN’ EDIT FEATURE TYLER?!
A friend of mine with a Calabrean father (hello, you’re right next door to Sicily!) would make that comment to his own son who had a Sicilian mother as an attempt to blame his transgressions on her side of the family. We both found that funny.
Well when I was visiting Italy it wasn’t hard to notice how the mainland folks felt about their Sicilian neighbors; even in the southernmost regions of Calabrea. As far as the Italians are concerned, everyone in Sicily is a mafioso or worse. I just think when they all came to the States en mass at the turn of the century, it was necessary to form alliances to protect themselves from the prejudice they felt upon their arrival.
During the first season of Lost (when smart people still cared about the show) you could go over to tv.com and see people debating about philosophers like Locke, Rouseau, Dharma, Karma, etc.
Now that only the typical tv idiot watches the show (hence the ratings dropping by 50%), you see items like this posted on the tv.com boards:
I’d saay Jack. He’s just the kind of guy who wouldnt sleep with his best friend’s girl while she flirted with you. Sawyer, imo, would.
(that is an actual quote from a board entitled “sawyer or jack”)
someone also commented that Sawyer’s character was “complex”? What? These people must be GEDers.
Well with success comes idiots, sadly the writers have decided to pander to those same idiots. This explains all the soap opera elements we’ve seen introduced to the show.
you were duped, jim. the show was never ’smart’. overt and jumbled references to dead philosophers gave the show a veneer of intelligence.
curious quote…is that a dude chosing jack over sawyer? doesn’t matter, sawyer’s hair pretty much decides it, eh? ; )
That is one sexy man mane… I especially like when he puts in the little top knot like Gene Simmons.
Makes me hot.
Excellent Point
Now THAT is classic…and pretty much sums up the current state of affairs in a nutshell.
Re: Nudity
Less cow, more cowbell?
Careful you might be attacked by the French, they seem to hate movie quotes.
Well, that seems to be the situation. But I don’t want that. And you don’t want that. And Ringo here,definitely, doesn’t want that.
For fairness to the French, I propose that Hurley and Kate switch underwear and then have them prance around. 20 minutes of that should satisfy both sides… we on this side of the Atlantic can watch Kate struggle to keep hers on and the rest can watch Hurley in his new skintight gear…
Actually the men in Eastern European countries are probably bigger on rocking the bannana hammocks these days than the French. Here in Chicago we have the second largest Polish population of any city in the world (second only to Warsaw); & ya ain’t seen nothin’ ’til ya seen 500 Polish dudes in Speedos runnin’ around North Avenue beach.
Yes, it’s very Borat-ish…
Wow! Typical American ignorance. You think prudish Yanks invented the bikini, or the G-string? Ha! Your women were wearing one pieces to their knees until the 80’s. The proportions that the majority of American women have taken, perhaps they should go back. I’d almost prefer to see a pale Slav in a Borat suit!
It’s all in the finer details who pulls it off correctly:
US = horizontal tan lines = good
Euro = vertical tan lines = just so wrong
Most European women can, and do, bathe topless (we’re not afraid of the big bad boobie over here), thus, no tanlines.
It’s a cultural thing. In America, it’s perfectly OK to show people being mutilated and murdered constantly on TV, but dare show a booby, or people engaged in lovemaking, and George Dumbya will personallly see to your ruin. Look at all the shows that revolve around death and violence. You’d rather celebrate death over life. No surprise there really.
Please, I’ve been to American beaches a plenty. There’s a ratio of about one hotty to 20 fatties. Most of the fatties are wearing ball caps and JUICY shorts with their FUPS hanging over them. Sick!
Also, if men do choose to wear more revealing and athleticly cut swimsuits, it’s because they can. Most American beaches have fat frat boy poseurs wearing surf shorts, an activity they never came close to trying. You’ll see them with their lame tribal tatoos (Jack) on pasty white and flabby physiques (Hurley) playing horseshoes while guzzling Bud from plastic cups.
Now I’ll take a few fit men in speedos (most European men wear athletic cut trunks) and topless fit women over fat broads and fat WT frat boys any day.
It seems that some simple people on this board must take issue with someone if they are not from the US. For me, this is merely endemic to the uneducated and uncouth (now reflected in the current regime’s innability to empathize with the world at large), and not symptomatic to the US as whole, a place where I studied, lived and grew to know plenty of sharp, knowledgeable and esteemed people. This is fine because who should I expect to encounter on a board about a TV show?
I can’t believe a joke about Speedos’ turned ugly… pretty funny if you ask me. I agree with Laurent about the state of the folks on American beaches. Let’s just say the girls in Puerto Rico, Italy, shit…even Poland & Germany were a lot more fit when I visited those places. I of course, can only talk so much since my own 200 lbs of HS football muscle is now covered by an ungainly extra 20 lbs of “fat & happy”. I am turning 36 this year though, so I guess it could be worse.
Well, I can’t defend the sagging pensioners in Speedos, nor the topless grandmothers whose breasts look like bowling balls stuffed in tubesocks, who terrorize the Americans and locals alike.
It just shows that we have to take the bad with the good!
“You’ll see them with their lame tribal tatoos (Jack) on pasty white and flabby physiques (Hurley) playing horseshoes while guzzling Bud from plastic cups. ”
I just wanted to say I’ve never heard the average American male between the ages of 25- 35 pegged so perfectly. For the record though: I am not pasty, nor do sport any lame tribal tattoos & I’m only slightly flabby.
I’m not sure what demographic the writers of the show are trying to appeal to with the stale dharma beer and tatoo references. I’m sure that Hurley’s microbus episode was sponsored by VW.
This show shills for $$$ just like any other show.
There’s nothing worse than seeing a tat across a flabby backside. When the gut and butt spills over the lowrider jeans, it’s know as a “flab-alanche”. Belly button mounted wind chimes don’t appeal either.
Seriously you tat people, put some thought into this. Can anyone see themselves at 60 with a backside tatoo that spells out MERCEDES? What will the other residents of the oldfolks home think of that? They’ll probably choke on their dentures…
I love the “flabalanche” name, I knew it was only a matter of time before someone came up with a term for FUP spillage.
Wait until they see them in their walker and mobile IV stand with “Thug Life” across their saggy abdomen.
The first time I went to the States as a child, I remember staring out of the car window, mouth agape at the gargantuan voluminousness of the American population on display in the streets. The people were massive, the portions were massive, the vehicles and buildings were massive. It was all so… big. The old cult of the “supersize” cliché. Americans venerate spatial expansiveness as a substitute for depth and self-awareness of any kind. They project outwards instead of inwards; they are moralistic and yet immoral. Sorry to sound like Jean Baudrillard but I will simply never get you people. I practiced in Boston for a couple of years and have yet to comprehend your culture. But of course, like most Canadians, I am happy to consume it along with your Big Macs and mediocre television shows (i.e. Lost). I would also point out that the French are getting fatter, some might say precisely as a result of the influence of American food and culture. In any event it’s only a matter of time before flabalanches of cataclysmic proportions occur on French beaches. When that happens, if there is a God, we will hopefully see a proportionate reduction in the use of speedos and string bikinis. There is no God in Quebec. “For I have seen the beast and may the lord pluck out mine eyes and smite me where I stand.”
Y’all know what “smote” is?
I smite, you smite, he smites,
we done smote!
To smite is to go upside the head!
Because sometimes, brothers and sisters,
that’s the only way!
The only way.
To smite is to remind
we got to stop that decline…
Testify, brotha Laurent, testify. The verb “to smite” is under-utilized, in my opinion. I be smitten.
something laurent (and someone else?) mentioned…
sawyer…”who’s your favorite Other?”
if you laughed, I hope it was out loud, as in, laughing AT the show, not WITH the show. that pandering garbage is tired and gay. mostly, it’s just gay…
Yep, once again the “Bugs Bunny Effect” (TM). A term I coined for when writers break down the 4th wall in such a decidedly unclever manner (imagine Bugs turning to the audience & saying: “he don’t know me very well, do he?”).
I find it odd that they still refer to them as “others”
I agree, instead they should call them: “those kidnapping, murdering, nutjob, terrorist sons of bitches”. Or just “the douche-bag tribe”.
yeah but at least the others don’t get in multiple fistfights in every fuckin episode.
Yes I suppose if you could get past the brainwashing, being forced to stay on the island against your will, being locked in a cell, being branded when you mess up and that horrible book club of Juliet’s it’s probably a pretty decent lifestyle. I mean, at least you get to ride in a submarine… WHEEEEE!!!
I agree that one of the most maddening things about the show is the non-stop references to various literary works, philosophers, etc. . . In last week’s episode, the novel “Catch 22″ (in Portuguese I guess) was basically clubbed over the viewers’ heads — it was part of the parachutist’s gear (it was also the title of the episode). When the book appeared on the screen, I felt like I was watching some old, cheesy 3-D movie in which a character shoves a sword or something right into the camera.
Of course the fansites go nuts whenever there is any reference to some famous novel or historical figure. As soon as they look up said reference on Wikipedia, they gush effusively as to what it means and how it makes “Lost” so intellectually sophisticated. In that sense, I suppose “Lost” is serving some public service in introducing brain dead TV viewers to a small slice of art and culture.
But more importantly, the phenomenon demonstrates a narrative laziness in the “Lost” writers. They are telling their story through other stories, forcing the viewer to look to numerous outside sources to attempt to understand the meaning of the show. In small doses, this can be effective, but used in excess, it’s like a novel that devotes 90% of its length to quoting other novels.
Yeah, just because you need footnotes to follow the “clever” references doesn’t make it smart. Actually it makes it quite the opposite in my opinion. I shouldn’t need to have my lap top booted up while I’m watching the show so I can Google or Wiki search the name of late, great philosphers.
Narrative laziness? I don’t completely follow your logic — an understanding of the novel Catch-22 isn’t required to understand the episode, which IMO stood on its own. It might be helpful, yes, to understand what the phrase Catch-22 means, but knowing the book’s main character, setting, or plot really doesn’t contribute to an understanding of the episode, nor does it make reading the book a requirement.
Having read the book, I can tell you that the only definitive connection to last week’s episode was the titular phrase. I saw it as an Easter egg. That’s all. In my view, all it does is give exposure to the book. Maybe more people will actually read it. That’d be nice.
I call it “narrative laziness” because nothing much tends to happen — aside from a random person dropping from the sky and a flashback that explains why Desmond says “brothah”. Oh yeah, and further entanglements in the Jackerkatiette love quadrangle. The writers drop in little cute references to various literary works and the fansites buzz about what it all means.
Last year, I remember seeing “Incident at Owl Creek Bridge” (about a soldier who is hanged off a bridge and has visions of a dramatic escape just before dying) by Ambrose Bierce displayed somehow on the show. But I guess the writers have said the island’s mysteries are not resolved in this way, so I suppose that was a random “Easter Egg” — as you called it. I would hope that the writers would spend more time working out the main storyline of the show rather than sitting around brainstorming ways to insert clever “Easter Eggs” that have little if any connection to anything.
Another annoying thing I have noticed: every time some literary reference is discussed on a fansite, just about every Lost enthusiast writes something like “By the way, great book, I highly recommend it” which is a clear sign to me that they have never read the work in question. I can hardly wait for Lost to feature an “Easter Egg” for Proust’s “Remembrance of Things Past” and getting to read some 16-year-old fanboy telling me “great book! highly recommended!”
Yeah, or anything by James Joyce.
Fair enough. I’ll mark it down right now that if I see Sawyer reading any Proust — or any Thomas Pynchon for that matter — then *I’ll* quit watching the show. Permanently.
Yikes! I thought Joyce would be some obtuse reading material for our man Sawyer, but you managed to out do me JT.
Don’t make me break out the William Faulkner, dude.
is it just me, or is anyone else getting really tired of one episode not having anything to do with the next? there is absolutely no continuity anymore. in the epsiode when Locke blew up the submarine, and his father was in the room at the end of the episode, or at the end of the episode where we’re left with Juliette’s devious staring off into nothingness… WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? its probably only because the writers have no idea of what happens next
To be fair, a lot of that is setup for an upcoming episode (the so-called “flashback-free” episode) — I guess the writers think that adds to the mystery. Maybe it’ll pay off, maybe it won’t (and the majority of people here, I’m speculating, think it won’t).
Anyone watching Heroes tonight?
Lord no, that show is worse than Lost, BSG & 24 all put together! I haven’t seen worse acting since… since… well since last weeks episode of Lost.
*ducks barrage of Masa Oki action figures- ouch! them fuckers are pointy!*
I wish the crazy Las Vegas mother would die. Her character is pointless. Why do the hot women in all these shows get the lamest characters?
Yes. Crazy Las Vegas mother is the most irritating cast member on the show.
flashback free episode? sounds exciting, but sounds like a myth
there will still be flashbacks but they’ll take place on the island…mostly showing what locke’s been doin with the others…or so i read
I picture Locke throwing daggers at his dad who is strapped to a wheel board, like the old circus act. Ben is wearing a ringmaster hat as he conducts polar bears balancing beach-balls on their noses while pedaling unicycles. The survivors have ping-pong and the ‘others’ have a circus.
That would be more entertaining for them than Juliet’s lame-ass book club for sure! Maybe “The Sheriff” (once again I say- remember her? Wasn’t she gonna’ be the new menace? I guess she’s gone the way of Rose & Bernard- quickly forgotten) can train some poodles to jump through hoops of fire.
Wow you guys are kinds funny. Hahaha you watch a show to talk about how bad it is. Hahha. Oh wait that’s right you guys used to be fans but now it’s gone to hell, so that gives you a perfect explanation of why to keep watching, cause you don’t like it anymore and it’s fun to complain ………..? I mean I thought I was pathetic talking about something I like a lot, but gosh I’m so glad I’m not this pathetic, I mean really it would suck if I had nothing better to do with my life than talk about how awful a tv show is. Have fun holding up Lost’s ratings and talking about how bad a 11 o’ clock show is instead of making a friend or losing the wieght you guys gain while sitting on this site.
Oh so clever… I’ve got a better idea, why don’t I change my weekly appointment to fuck your mother the whore to Wednesday nights so I’ll really have something better to do.
Haha wow so you guys really care if someone likes the show, except for you can’t tell me why…
relax Nico, Dan is UNDER MY PROTECTION
See, this is the part where Sayid should have stabbed Jack in the eye with a pointy stick.
I laughed out loud again…but I’m laughing AT you, not WITH you ; )
Yep, I knew you’d be lurking around to see who would bite. Well pal, I could tell you to read the FAQ section that explains why this sight exists, or I could take time to explain it to you as I would a 5 year old (for obvious reasons), OR… I could just tell you to go fuck your mother.
“I mean really it would suck if I had nothing better to do with my life than talk about how awful a tv show is…”
though, apparently you have nothing better to do than talk about people who talk about how awful a tv show is…did I get that right?
I doubt tonight’s episode will display the linear progression that we were subjected to at the beginning of the season. That means we’ll have to wait at least another episode until we learn how Penny was exchanged for a Peso.
More flashbacks of a lame (no pun intended) and pathetic Locke anyone?
“how Penny was exchanged for a Peso”
nice [intended] pun
tonight’s epi, from TV.com…
“Sun allows Juliet to examine her when she learns that all of “The Others’” pregnant women died before they gave birth on the island. Meanwhile, Desmond and an unlikely nemesis collaborate to save a new island inhabitant’s life.”
yay! girl on girl ‘examination’!!! booooo! it involves a pregnant chick!
yay! more Desmond! booooo! another new character to not care about?!?!
I want very badly to be subjected to linear progression. It sounds clinical.
Sorry for the hiatus, gang. Just posted a few comments today but I have been diligently following the linear progression of thoughts for the past week. Dare I say that I actually found this episode entertaining. JT are you with me? Ha ha. You’all must admit that after the Paulo/dumb blond chick debaucle, things have picked up a little in terms of the quality of the episodes although admittedly the bar has now been set pretty low. In many respects the secret to happiness or at least moderate satisfaction is to manage one’s expectations. I was disappointed albeit not surprised that the Hobbit did not ultimately get the spike in the head. Felt cheated really. I have very high hopes, however, that the season finale will feature Hurley wearing a thong bikini as he engages in a to-the-death ping pong showdown with Ben. Oh God please let it happen. Now THAT would be a flabalanche Pompeii style.
I cheered when charlie died in the beginning and then a few minutes later, i got a sinking feeling in my heart when it was just a vision.
Does anyone else hate charlie’s nose as much as i do?
It IS the nose, isn’t it? It’s the nose. Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I see the nose and I can feel it sniffing me. Make it stop, Matt. Please.
I suppose I don’t want Charlie to die. The hobbit is a very good actor, so much that his paranoia and apprehension makes me uncomfortable. I won’t judge him on his looks, for that would mean another horribly shitty pretty-boy-marionette (he’s no actor) like ‘Boone’ would have it easy.
I SO want Charlie to die… me hateses the hobbitsessss…..
The biggest grudge match since King Kong vs. Godzilla.
This is going to be the big: “Who is Sun’s baby daddy episode”. This is the episode that supposedly had some of the footage destroyed in an airport xray machine. According to the EW website, this episode will include Jin doing “kung fu” (being he’s Korean I’d bet it’s actually Tae Kwon Do, but what the fuck do the hacks at EW know…), as well as the return of a not as dead as we thought Patchy the Russian. The rumour mill says Patchy will end up siding with the Losties in the big showdown at the end of the season.
a david carradine cameo? or, I’m guessing, a smarmy “grasshopper” reference from sawyer?
maybe jin has to walk across hot stones barefoot to deliver the baby? so much kung-fu…so many wasted possibilities…
Prediction for tonight’s episode: Lot’s of action, Jack, Kate, and Sawyer make their mandatory cameos (meaning they’ll have a line or two each, probably someone asking them some mundane question), Sun gets taken somewhere with Juliet but conveniently won’t ask any pertinent questions, and Locke will show up in the last minute and say something provocitive that will lead to a “revealing” next week’s episode. In other words, we’ll be no more in the know than we were 2 and a half years ago. ACES II ops check in progress…..
Ya niznayu!
You were not very far off the mark, Preev!
Yeah, pretty close, I really thought Locke would show up. And Sawyer missed an episode, that shocked me. Good revelation at the end, not sure what it means though. One is they are all dead, and in limbo or whatever, the other is it was a staged crash, like people have theorized. Just enough to keep me hanging on for the last episodes, but of course this revelation will be all but ignored next week.
It highly amuses me that even though Tyler didn’t write a blog on this week’s episode, we’re STILL nearing 200 comments. We rule so so much.
By the by, for anyone who’s curious, something fairly monumental happens at the end of tonight’s episode. I just don’t know how they’re going to explain this one.
OK, don’t be coy- it’s not like there’s a “no spoiler” warning for a sight called “whyLostsucks”.
Fiiiiine. It’s a huge, mammoth, gigantic spoiler though. Enormous, I tell you!
I’m going to put some asterisks in here anyway, just in case someone randomly visits this site who doesn’t want to be spoiled.

At the end of the episode, Hurley tells the parachutist who they are and what happened. Her response is that the wreckage of Flight 815 has already been discovered, and that there are no survivors.
DUN DUN DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Oh… my… God… that’s just shocking as hell (not really). I just want to know were there no survivors recovered, or no bodies recovered. That’s a big difference, because if they found the “bodies” of our castaways that’s a pretty darn big can of worms.
200TH POST BITCHES!
Anyway, I dunno — the site I gleaned this bit of information from merely said “no survivors,” I believe. My assumption is that bodies were found. No idea, though, really — but because the producers have said that the survivors are NOT in purgatory, then what the hell is going on?
I despise you, JT. I hate your dog, your grandma and your little finger. I’m picturing all of them slow-roasting on a spit right now. But above all else, I hate spoilers. [Turkey drops to his knees and weeps]. Nooooooo!!!!!!
Dude! I put in, like, twenty asterisks!
No worries JT, one day it won’t hurt no more and the healing will begin. I forgive you.
Heh, heh… that’s funny Turk. I’m assuming they’re not dead, I’m just wondering if somebody went through the trouble of planting fake bodies (as opposed to just a fake plane fuselage). Or maybe they’re the REAL bodies & our survivors have just been implanted with their memories…
*DUN DUN DUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!*
My guess is the Scottish Guy has a secret: the ocean is gone!!
DUN DAH DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!
It was drunk by the magic turtle…
She could be from the future.
DUN DUN DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
PS) We have once again surpassed 200 posts! I want a spot on AotS right now dangitt! And since it might mean an interview with the lovely Ms. Olivia Munn so should Tyler!
