The Official LOST Season 1 Thread!

[Deathstroke]

Season 1 of Lost is coming to DVD in September.

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=2877

Yes it is.

Check out my TV on DVD update thread regularly!

[Hi-Fi]

Haven't seen lost since episode 11. Is Claire back already? If so, what heppened to her?

[TCJohnson]

We don't know. They found her crying at the end of the last new episode, and that is about it.

It was a really dark shot withlots of shadows, and people are not even sure if she is pregnant anymore.

[Deathstroke]

Well some news has leaked out:

Claire won't remember anything from her time on the island when the show returns with new episodes.

[Hi-Fi]

Thanks for the info, guys.

[Elias Bogan]

"Lost" better deliver tomorrow night because I am already sick of this whole Locke mind-control plot. Plus, a lot of people are already starting to say that the show has already jumped the shark and I'm starting to agree.

In fact, the specific point where they jumped was at the end of The Boone/Shannon episode where it was revealed that she wasnt really dead and now Boone is a Locke-loving zombie.

[LtMarvel]

TV Guide writes that some secrets will be revealed in extra scenes in the DVD release, including what brought down the plane and a scene between the kid and Locke that was cut because it gave too much away.

[TCJohnson]

do a lot of people here think Lost has jumped the shark?

[GremlinClr]

do a lot of people here think Lost has jumped the shark?

I don't, no.

[Ugoff]

I have to disagree with alot of points made already. No I dont think the show has jumped the shark. Although I'm really pissed at the writers cuz the commericals for the Walt being attacked by a bear episode said that some stuff was going to be revealed and as far as I know we still dont have a clue what's going on. Also I could totally see that it was Claire in that episode where she comes out of the woods. I dunno maybe my tv is brighter or something. Anyways concerning Boone, I really dont feel he's a Locke zombie. He's just free from Shannon's manipulations now. Also he's stuck on a damn island, that can change a person also. And who do u trust in such a dark situation except Locke (even if it's poor judgment). Locke has proven he's got mad survival skills. Concerning the DVD's, so we have to buy something in order to get the full story? I'm not liking how that sounds. It just sounds like they wont be revealing anything anytime soon or at least not fully. I know extras like that are common on DVD's but something just sounds off about that statement from TV Guide.

[Deathstroke]

do a lot of people here think Lost has jumped the shark?

I don't think so, it's been a thrill ride from Episode 1.

[hugh45]

What way as it "jumped the shark"?

[roguespirit]

do a lot of people here think Lost has jumped the shark?

Hell no and I say again, hell no!

[Grant]

What way as it "jumped the shark"?

I guess you could argue when they had Jack resurrectted Charlie from the dead by pounding on him for like ten minutes. I consider that a low point. The Boone hallucination was kind of a cop out but it did help the character grow a little more. I'm kind of on the fence on that one. Otherwise I like the show. But they need to thin the herd by the end of this season to make me worry about the characters. And I'm not talking about killing Scott & Steve. Or the hypochondriac guy that was annoying Jack all the friggin time.

[Grant]

Whoa. BEWARE SPOILERS









Good episode tonight.

While the flashbacks mainly offered character insight they were pretty amusing and used sparsely. Favorite flashback bit was Charlie revealed his ineptness with machinery when Locke asked if him if he ever used a gun. And there was an Office reference that was pretty cute.

But I think the little moments made the episode.

* Locke's scary smile when Jack gives him a gun.
* Hurley's eulogy for Scott who everyone called Steve
* Sawyer calling him Steve.
* Boone falling asleep
* Jin frustrated with his inability to communicate with others and "paying for their actions"
* Ethan being a scary mofo
* Jack kicking Ethan's ass
* The revelation Ethan swam around the island and broke every bone in Scotts body.

There's also a lot of questions raised by this episode. I like how Claire's selective amenesia is brought up. She could have easily been brainwashed by Ethan and the others to infilitrate the castaways.

Locke is being typically ambigious throughout this. It seems he's going through the motions whenever it comes to the safety and welfare on the island. Also Charlie shooting Ethan seems like something Locke wants him to do.

Anyways AICN posted a list of upcoming episodes

Episode 16: Outlaws
Sawyer

Episode 17: … In Translation
Jin

Episode 18: Numbers
Hurley

Episode 19: Deus Ex Machina
April 13
Locke

Episode 20: Do No Harm
Jack

Episode 21: Sides
Sayid

Episode 22
Kate

And there's two more hours after that. I'm guessing either a series of flashbacks focusing on different characters like the pilot or maybe one episode focused on Claire or someone else like Walt. Should be interesting.









End Spoilers

[ghostrider666]

Great show. Wow, what Charlie did!

[GremlinClr]

Episode 18: Numbers
Hurley


Finally. I thought everybody else was gonna get 2 flashback eps before he got one.

Good ep tonight.

[Ryan K]

Maybe it was just me, but after two weeks of previews pumping up the fact that there was going to be a death, tonight, having it turn out to be Steve was really dissapointing.

And the flashback story with Charlie was predictable, boring, and anticlimactic IMO.

[coquix]

I loved tonight's episode. Jack was badass whomping on Ethan. I was pleasantly suprised when Charlie plugged him. I'da done the same thing. If you kidnap my boo and they come back screwed up like Claire did, I'm taking you out. I mean we're on an island stuck with a psycho with a chance of never going back home. No regrets. Charlie was right when he said that Ethan wouldn't have said anything. I don't think he would have. I'm waiting for some flashbacks that'll maybe reveal some insight into what happened to Claire.

[Elias Bogan]

Am I the only one NOT looking forward to 'Desperate Islanders' next week? I could frankly care less about a Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle.

[Ryan K]

Am I the only one NOT looking forward to 'Desperate Islanders' next week? I could frankly care less about a Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle.

That's exactly what I said when I saw the preview for next week.

The show is very good at being different from other stuff on television, why'd the have to go and be cliche with a nice guy/bad boy love triangle.

[Raziel]

The thing that I kept asking myself was "If Ethan can sneak around, killing Steve (oops) SCOTT and attacking Jin and Charlie why would he need them to give him Clair? Why not just take her?"

Funny that they didn't ask themselves that either.

[Deathstroke]

I was a little weirded out by the Korean's conversation, when the husband mentioned the baby it didn't sound simply like a concerned inquiry for information.

Ummmm....who's Steve/Scott? Why can't I recall him.

Oh, and I have a sneaking suspicion that Ethan will show up again.

[Ryan K]

Ummmm....who's Steve/Scott? Why can't I recall him.

He was just one of the named extra people on the island. They asked for his help in looking for Claire at one point when they first went missing (I think that was what they asked him for, something like that, but they dropped his name). I don't think he ever had a line of dialogue.

[darkkeeperjr]

Am I the only one NOT looking forward to 'Desperate Islanders' next week? I could frankly care less about a Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle.
No we need to see this one because they promise to reveal one of the many secert
:rolleyes:
i hope they show something more than how pissed off jack will get if kate likes sawyer :(

[darkkeeperjr]

anybody has a listed names of the charters,i don't think any one's first name shares the same letter.yeah i know that it would't mean anything. just wondering.

Totally agree on both points. Jin was more than just passing concerned about Claire and the baby. Also, I know we will see Ethan (Or Spider-Clone Ethan) again. I just have that feeling.

Maybe, the reason Claire was sent back to the castaways, is because whomever superceeds Ethan on the island told him to give her back for some reason? Also, my wife brought up a good point about Boone's/Locke's hatch/metal they found in the jungle. What if it is a series of underground tunnels?

[Sean Whitmore]

The thing that I kept asking myself was "If Ethan can sneak around, killing Steve (oops) SCOTT and attacking Jin and Charlie why would he need them to give him Clair? Why not just take her?"

Funny that they didn't ask themselves that either.


Maybe he could reach the people on the beach like Scott, or in the jungle like the others, but not those in the cave?


SEAN

[Ugoff]

Tonights episode was good. I'm also not looking forward to the Kate/Jack/Sawyer mess next week. But in a way I'm kinda looking forward to it. It just seems out of place now, isn't Sawyer trying to make nice and be civil now? Maybe we are missing a piece of the puzzle that is the catalyst for whatever sparks the situation that will happen next week between the characters. I just hope JJ and the writers arent shooting themselves in the foot. It feels like they might not know where this show is going. But I still love Lost. I have an idea what the hatch Locke/Boone found might be, but I can't share. I dont want to jink it.

[StoneGold]

I might just be shooting in the dark here, but everyone's just assuming that's actually Claire that got returned. I'm not saying she didn't, but are we really sure that's Claire?

[Elias Bogan]

I love Desperate Housewives and think its a hilarious and great show, but lets leave the romance and soap opera tendancies off of Lost .

New episodes return on Apr 13th and the season finale is supposedly going to be on May 18th. What exactly abc is planning for the final wednesday of the season I have no idea but its the season finale of AI so I think its a smart move by abc to finish up a week before.

About the death, Walt has to die because eventually the actor will start looking noticeably older when only a few months was supposed to pass. Actors like Terry O'Quinn, Naveen Andrews and Evangelline Lilly wont change appearance much at all over the years but the actor playing Walt will and thus he must die.

[Grant]

Am I the only one NOT looking forward to 'Desperate Islanders' next week? I could frankly care less about a Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle.

Not me. But I heard there's an interesting connection between Jack and Sawyer. And T2 is guest starring.

I'm hoping Hatcher is right and Kate is the real bad guy.

[Grant]

I might just be shooting in the dark here, but everyone's just assuming that's actually Claire that got returned. I'm not saying she didn't, but are we really sure that's Claire?

I'm never sure what to think on this show. Between this and Carnivale I don't know what to expect.

[SPAfreak]

I'm never sure what to think on this show. Between this and Carnivale I don't know what to expect.

But which show is more decompressed?

Just a reminder: Of all the main cast, Jin was the only person that had planned to be on that plane. Everyone else was on it due to outside influences. Even Sun hadn't planned to be on it. When you add in the fact about Jin being an outsider you have to wonder about what they are doing with the character. No matter what they do with him, I do believe that his interrogation of Sun had more to do with seeing how much she understood than anything else.

[Shades0077]

So a Philly radio station, Y100, always talks about Lost on Thursday mornings. Here's what someone called in to suggest today.

Ethan is the polar bear.

There's some good evidence to back this up. Last episode, the polar bear gets slashed in the face with a knife and runs off. Last night's episode, Ethan has got some serious cuts on his face.

Since Ethan wants to get her back, Claire apparently escaped from his clutches. Ethan being the polar bear and being wounded would give her the perfect opportunity.

[TCJohnson]

Hmmm, that is an interesting idea...although more likely Claire gave Ethan those cuts.

[Basara]

There's some good evidence to back this up. Last episode, the polar bear gets slashed in the face with a knife and runs off. Last night's episode, Ethan has got some serious cuts on his face.

They looked more like fingernail scratches to me. I'm thinking Claire's a fighter when it comes to defending her baby, which was Ethan's real goal to begin with.

[Shades0077]

Hmmm, that is an interesting idea...although more likely Claire gave Ethan those cuts.

They looked more like fingernail scratches to me. I'm thinking Claire's a fighter when it comes to defending her baby, which was Ethan's real goal to begin with.
Yeah, this was brought up too. They were saying maybe somehow the baby takes control of Claire's body, or gives her super strength, or something freaky like that.

[Grant]

Yeah I'm more interested in how Claire got away from Ethan who could virtually appear anywhere on the island. But I'm thinking Claire fought her way out. The baby taking control seems like an interesting idea.

Better then Ethan really being a polar bear at least (that's when the show would jump the shark).

[Grant]

DVD info at Dark Horizons (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050211a.php).

Sure Deathstroke posted on the TV on DVD thread but I thought I'd mention it here.

[Cyke]

Enough about jumping the damn shark. We already know the island is dominated by some supernatural force and that there are mysterious powers at work. Just what would be so negatively shocking about a guy who can turn into a polar bear?

Dear lord, and I'm typing this out on a comic book message board, at that.

[Grant]

Just what would be so negatively shocking about a guy who can turn into a polar bear?

Not negatively shocking it just would just be equally gay and retarded. Much like the Spidey-mobile and Composite Superman.

[Cyke]

Not negatively shocking it just would just be equally gay and retarded. Much like the Spidey-mobile and Composite Superman.

Dude, on an island where almost anything can happen, I think the revelation that one should worry about the least is a were-polar bear.

Next thing y'know, people are going to be bitching that there are too many caves on the island.

[ghostrider666]

Well, either way, were-bear or not, there's something up with Ethan. He's displayed superhuman strength for his size. I wouldnt be suprised if he's seen again some time.

[Toonimator]

Not negatively shocking it just would just be equally gay and retarded. Much like the Spidey-mobile and Composite Superman.
variants of the Spider-Mobile are still released periodically by Toy Biz, and next up in DC Direct's First Apperances figure line is Composite Superman!

...so Ethan turning into the bear might go over well in that kinda climate.

Now if he turned into a CAR... wouldn't that be a kicker? The big secret of LOST is it's actually just the sequel to a "lost" episode of Turbo Teen where he gets stuck on an island for around 20 years and goes nuts.

[Deathstroke]

Of course you should. It's not like I have the patent on information posting.

[Grant]

Dude, on an island where almost anything can happen, I think the revelation that one should worry about the least is a were-polar bear.

So is it a crime to think a were-bear is a extremely dumb and silly idea? I'm being subjective here. And it didn't even happen on the show so what do you care?

[Grant]

variants of the Spider-Mobile are still released periodically by Toy Biz, and next up in DC Direct's First Apperances figure line is Composite Superman!


Only freaks with disposable incomes would buy either of those.

[Grant]

Of course you should. It's not like I have the patent on information posting.

What did I need your permission? Well f*** off Deathstroke! I'll start my own TV on DVD thread and dethrone your ass.

xoxoxo
-Grant

:)

[hulahulk]

Ethan may have displayed great strength, but Jack kicked his ass last night. At this point, I'm not sure what to think about the island and situation. And that's EXACTLY where the writers want me.

[Deathstroke]

What did I need your permission? Well f*** off Deathstroke! I'll start my own TV on DVD thread and dethrone your ass.

xoxoxo
-Grant

:)

Hopefully that is a real joke. Of course you don't need permission. You don't need to start another TV on DVD thread anyway. I'm pulling back on posting anyway. I'm sure I'll be beaten on posting now anyway.

[LtMarvel]

The Composite Superman is cool.

[Grant]

Hopefully that is a real joke.

Mr. Winking Smiley isn't a clue? It lets everyone know I'm not an asshole but a sarcastic asshole.

But I'm dead serious about Ethan being a were bear being the dumbest theory I've heard yet.

[Donald M.]

Besides, Ethan's dead now, so that should put an end to all theories.

He went down pretty easy though, all things considered. Was Ethan really all that, or did he just get lucky the first time? Or was this even the same Ethan?

[hulahulk]

I liked wed.'s episode. Questions galore:
1. How long will Claire have amnesia?
2. Will we see Locke and Boone renew their curiosity with the hatch soon?
3. Sayid and Shannon: People Magazine's Couple of the Year?:rolleyes:
4. How have the survivors coped so well without ONE DROP OF COFFEE?:D

[Grant]

1. How long will Claire have amnesia?

I'm hoping before the end of the season. But Claire without amnesia might know too much. So when she start remembering stuff I think that's when the monster will kill her.

2. Will we see Locke and Boone renew their curiosity with the hatch soon?

When they stop getting attacked by Polar Bears and crazy canadian guys.

3. Sayid and Shannon: People Magazine's Couple of the Year?:rolleyes:

I'm leaning towards Boone and Locke right now for that one.

4. How have the survivors coped so well without ONE DROP OF COFFEE?:D

Seriously. I'd be going worse withdrawl then Charlie by now.

[Grant]

Besides, Ethan's dead now, so that should put an end to all theories.

He went down pretty easy though, all things considered. Was Ethan really all that, or did he just get lucky the first time? Or was this even the same Ethan?

Okay you try to take down five people with hand guns. Even while Jack was kicking him and punching like no tommorrow he still kept getting up.

[Donald M.]

Okay you try to take down five people with hand guns. Even while Jack was kicking him and punching like no tommorrow he still kept getting up.

Yeah, he gave up when he had all the guns pointed at him, but he didn't know they had guns until after Jack whooped his ass.

[davids]

The Krell from forbiddin planet, the aliens who had visited earth in the past and destroyed themselves by building a machine that could create anything the krell wished just by thinking about it. Only their primative subconsous minds also were able to use it. And it created monsters, momsters from the ID!
If the Krell left one of these machines [smaller not as poweful}l behind?

That is why, the kid reads a comic with polar bears and polar bears show up. What's more scary than a unseen monster in the jungle, the monster in forbiddin planet was invisable as well. A man in a wheel chair imagines he can walk and boom he walks again[perhaps a little nano tec. repaired him.

[Ryan K]

So there's what 40+ survivors right.

Do you think the other 25-30 (the ones the show doesn't concentrate on) think that the characters comprising the main cast are crazy. The most drama filled people they've ever met.

They should do an episode that just concentrates on a small group of 'other' survivors as they witness a day in the life of the main characters.

"Look. There goes the crazy chick. Does she like Jack or Sawyer the mad hoarder"

"What's up with the druggie and the pregnant chick today".

"Oh look. Remorse."

[Elias Bogan]

That was a damn awesome episode! I was really worried after the last few episodes that aired in january and then last weeks boring as heck Charlie ep, but this week made up for everything. I was worried by the promo's, but Josh Holloway and Evangelline Lilly knocked it out of the park.

[ghostrider666]

How does Sawyer not tell Jack what hw found out in the bar in Australia?

[Ugoff]

Great episode but I was slightly disappointed. I just feel like I'm being toyed with. Both Lost and Alias are starting to make me doubt their quality although I still enjoy both immensely.

[Sean Whitmore]

How does Sawyer not tell Jack what hw found out in the bar in Australia?


'Cause he's a 'hole. :)


SEAN

[Ray192]

How does Sawyer not tell Jack what hw found out in the bar in Australia?

it's not like Sawyer knows Jack's intimate life.

[Ryan K]

Anymore, I find that this is a show I watch because I know it's good. Rather than I show I watch because I really like it.

[StoneGold]

it's not like Sawyer knows Jack's intimate life.
"There's a guy I met in a bar who got me to kill this guy I shouldn't have who may or may not have been your father who was proud of you." That'd go over well.


And it's funny, for all the bitching over last week's promo, there was next to no love triangle stuff.

[EZMOHR]

In my opinion, this week set up for me that the big death that has been promised this year will be Sawyer. He's got something that he wants to be redeemed for. He knows a lot of secrets from other people. Not everyone likes him. I could see him in a showdown on the final episode with whomever is bad that day (PEOPLE KATE IS THE EVIL VILLAINESS OF THE SHOW). I'm afraid this episode for me set up that Sawyer might be the death this year.

[Deathstroke]

Sayid was really good in talking to Charlie this week. I'm hoping he isn't the one that's going to die.

Kate and Sawyer, there's just some bad juju there.

Interesting that Sawyer and Jack's father met. Boy when they get back to civilization, aren't they going to be surprised about the Red Sox!

[Elias Bogan]

Here is SUPPOSEDLY how season 1 is going to end...

A helicopter pilot lands on the island and tries to contact emergency rescue crews but those wanting to stay on the island, including Locke and Kate, destroy the helicopter as all out war erupts and the island is divided into two "tribes". Jack tells Kate that if they are rescued he will turn her into the authorities just like he did his father. During the battle, Kate stumbles upon a dying Jack and he asks for help but she walks away crying and leaves him to die. However, he will not be the one to die and the actual death wont be revealed until the first episode of season 2. The tribes will be:

Locke, Kate, Claire, Charlie, Boone, Jin, Walt
Jack, Shannon, Sayid, Sawyer, Michael, Sun, Hurley

Interesting, but it seems strange that Walt and Micheal would be on different sides. I suppose Locke would be the one to turn Walt against his dad, but it seems like Michael and Walt are bonding since the polar bear incident.

[Ryan K]

Sounds like fan speculation to me.

[bert]

no way

I'll pretty much guarantee, the big death is going to be Hurley

It's been teased as a BIG death of a major character, and that it will happen because another character lies about a situation, and they become unable to save the doomed character.

"Big" death. "Big" character. . it's Hurley, I can pretty much guarantee

as for that storyline about someone being on anti-psychotic drugs, that were wearing off ? Kristen at E!Online spilled it in her column this week -- since it appears that they've decided NOT to go that way w/ the character (not really a spoiler, since they don't appear to be going this direction, but just in case) it was Boone

[TitoJones]

Sayid was really good in talking to Charlie this week. I'm hoping he isn't the one that's going to die.

I hope not, because Sayid is my favorite character by far.

The only ones I wouldn't be upset about would be Shannon or Boone. But since they're not really fan favorites, I don't see any one of them dying.

Personally I think it's going to be either Clarie, Micheal(I hope not), or Hurley.

[hulahulk]

Whoa! Good show!

Did anyone notice Hurley on the TV in the Korean family's home?

[Tazer]

Yo.

DAMMIT!! the tex-mex delivery guy came just when Jin showed up at that guys house for the 2nd time.....I missed wat happened!!!!

sum1 fill me in plz??? :( :(




Tazer

[Puffy Treat]

That sure looked like Hurley.

I get the disturbing notion that next episode (obviously his 'focus on' ep) will also be the one with a major character death...in this case Hurley.

[Elias Bogan]

DAYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMM! That was an awesome episode. Yunjin Kim, Daniel Dae Kim and Harold P. all rock the house in the acting and chemistry departments and frankly they are a triangle and I cannot wait too see play out.

After tonight by Walt hate is at an all time high and its clear that he has to die to make the show realistic since the actor is going to start looking noticeably older when they are only supposed to be on the island for a few months at the most. Hurley/Jorge Garcia is very popular and he is not going to die.

The worst part is that after next week, we are not getting new episodes again until Mar 30th! Here is the broadcast schedule as I understand:

Mar 30th: All-New! Episode 18 "Duex Ex Machina"
Apr 06th: All-New! Episode 19 "Do No Harm"
Apr 13th: All-New! Episode 20 "The Greater Good"
Apr 20th: All-New! Episode 21
Apr 27th: All-New! Episode 22
May 04th: All-New! Episode 23
May 11th: All-New! Episode 24 (Season 1 finale)

*I guess ABC is going to sacrafice Alias against the two hour Idols on the last wednesdays of the may sweep.

[GremlinClr]

Awesome episode. Is Boones sister the only non sympathetic character? And their making her better as the season goes along. Jin is shaping up to be a good character as well, I really can't understand why he didn't go back to his wife. I'm worried with him cutting ties he'll be the one to die.

Can't wait til Hurley's ep next week. It says in next weeks TV guide that Hurley won the lottery and is a millionaire and it turns out that his winning lottery numbers match the numbers on Rousseaus map.

[Grant]

The worst part is that after next week, we are not getting new episodes again until Mar 30th! Here is the broadcast schedule as I understand:


Awesome for me. After next Tuesday I won't be around a tv for like three weeks.

[Grant]

Whoa! Good show!

Did anyone notice Hurley on the TV in the Korean family's home?

No I didn't. Thank god I taped this weeks episode. Which was a really good one.

[Predator]

Did anyone notice Hurley on the TV in the Korean family's home?

Yes I did! I actually stood up from my chair in shock over that. Lends more support to the theory that everyone is connected somehow. And Sun in a swimsuit? :eek: Wow!

As for who dies, I'm betting on Claire or Jin. I really hope it isn't Hurley or Locke, those being my two favorites.

[Deathstroke]

I didn't catch Hurley on the TV. I guess I'll have to check the tape again.

Damn, Sun sure looks good in a bikini!

Interesting to get more background on Jin.

The reveal that Sun spoke English was pretty cool. Hurley's reaction was priceless.

Okay, anyone else a bit weirded out that Shannon is chasing Sayid? Unless what her brother said about her chasing older men, it's just a bit odd that she would be chasing after him after only a month on the island.

[Grant]

Okay, anyone else a bit weirded out that Shannon is chasing Sayid? Unless what her brother said about her chasing older men, it's just a bit odd that she would be chasing after him after only a month on the island.

Not really. He's handsome, mysterious, has a cool accent, sensitive and yet strong. Hell I'd be chasing after him.

I'm amazed with that many attractive people on the island no one has had sex yet. Well maybe Sun and Jinn. Maybe Boone and Locke...

[Justin D.]

I was cooking so I missed catching that it was Hurley on the TV. Although I do remember seeing someone on the screen and was wondering why there were Korean subtitles if it was a Korean show. Couldn't tell it was Hurley who was on the screen. Cool. I figured he was rich some time ago, mainly from the comments he said to Walt about making sure he got his money from playing backgammon. You know there's more to it than that though.

Also, was I the only one who said, "What?" about 20 times shortly after Locke asked Walt why he burned the boat?

Sun said that whole bit about how she almost left Jin and he just stood there while she did right before the flashback to the scene with his father. It almost seemed like he understood her, but I doubt he did.

Plus, the whole episode throws confusion out about Locke to those who thought he might want to keep everyone on the island if he was trying to get people to believe it was the others on the island that burned the boat.

All in all, a really great episode. I like how parts of this episode blended back in with the first spotlight episode on Sun and Jin. The show has been thought out.

[LtMarvel]

Yo.

DAMMIT!! the tex-mex delivery guy came just when Jin showed up at that guys house for the 2nd time.....I missed wat happened!!!!

sum1 fill me in plz??? :( :(




Tazer
Jen was sent to the house a second time because the message wasn't received. A hitman was sent along to show Jen how to deliver messages. The hitman told Jen where to be as he got his gun ready to redeliver the message. Instead, Jen jumped out of the car and ran inside and beat the guy up and told him that the factory opens tomorrow. (He then whispered, "I just saved your life.") He went home and we had an expansion on the scene where his wife watches him wash off the blood.

This was a well-written episode. We see the other side of an earlier episode's flashbacks and what was an unsympathetic character became one I liked.

I was not suprised about the sabotuer's ID. He was on my short list, along with Boone, Locke and the fugitive babe.

[Grant]

I think the death should be Jack. Simply that would really shake things up the most and throw the island into such chaos and disarray it would be more interesting next season. It's not going to happen. I don't think they are killing Sawyer off as much as I would like him to die I doubt they will kill him before he's either redeemed or just so gone so evil.

I don't think they will kill Walt but I could see him disappearing.

Anyways like I said before I loved this episode. Probably becuase it shook things up a little more. The revelation about Jinn was nice and low key and pretty tragic because he and Jinn wanted the same thing and they might have succeeded if they could talk to each other. I also liked his last line.

Not sure about the revelation about Walt burning the boat down. I kind of saw it coming probably the same reasons Locke did. Did anyone else wonder if Walt actually went down lit the boat on fire himself or used those nifty psychic powers to do it.

Next Hurley. Which I probably won't see until I come back from Oregon. But have high hopes for his episodes. Just don't kill him!

[Elias Bogan]

About the death...there are a few obvious people we can rule out:

Shannon, Sun, Kate, Shannon and Claire...with a main cast of 15 and only 5 of them females, they will not be killing off any of the girls
Hurley-very popular character
Charlie-played by a world known movie star
Jack-popular
Sawyer-popular
Michael-played a damn good actor
Jin-played a damn good actor and the triangle is far from over
Sayid-minority and damn good actor

That leaves either Boone, Locke, or Walt as the death. I predict that Walt will die because the actor sucks and will start looking noticeably older when they are only on the island for a few months, as a consequence of something Locke does. In addition, it will fuel the whole divided tribes things for next season.

[Loren]

Jack-popular
Sawyer-popular

I'd rule them both out for now, but for different reasons.

With Jack, he can't die until we know what's up with his dad, and until Sawyer tells him about the bar conversation. There's one more Jack-centric episode before season's end. If these aren't resolved, Jack can't die.

As for Sawyer, I'm pretty sure he's had all his focus episodes for the season. We don't know why he was in the police station, or how he ended up on the plane. Those are big loose ends that need to be tied up before his character can die.

TV Guide said something the other week that wasn't a spoiler per se, but when taken in conjunction with the question "who will die," it goes a long way to ruling out one person. It's also something you could easily assume from a recent episode.

It was said that "Lost" has plans to bring back Robert Patrick as Sawyer's con-artist buddy, and to give the two of them a series of flashback con-jobs. Those episodes ain't happening this season. And you can tell that they didn't want Patrick's character to be a one-off guest, because they included some interesting backstory with Sawyer and they probably wouldn't cast a well-known actor for a 3-minute cameo.

Loren

[Conn Seanery]

I wouldn't rule anyone out of the "death watch" list. Don't forget that Jack was originally slated to die in the first episode. It's not like they'd never prepared to have the castaways live on the island without a doctor. And we know that the creators love to blow us all away with the unexpected. Actually, with the way they do things on this show, I wouldn't be surprised if they picked the dead islander's name out of a hat.

Good eye on the Hurley TV thing. I missed that first time around.

Great episode all-around. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[Ugoff]

I was pretty disappointed with this episode. I enjoyed the Jin/Sun flashbacks but felt they could have been executed better. I guess I'm losing my patience. I dont know what it is but this episode, even thought it was great, left me disappointed.

[Grant]

I think you can get away with killing Jack. He has another episode focusing on him so they could resolve all his issues by the 24th episode. Right now I'm leaning towards Sayid and Michael. Who are two characters I don't want to die but they don't have that many loose ends to tie up.

[Donald M.]

I was cooking so I missed catching that it was Hurley on the TV. Although I do remember seeing someone on the screen and was wondering why there were Korean subtitles if it was a Korean show. Couldn't tell it was Hurley who was on the screen. Cool. I figured he was rich some time ago, mainly from the comments he said to Walt about making sure he got his money from playing backgammon. You know there's more to it than that though.


Based on a synopsis of next week's episode I read, it looks like Hurley won the lottery (and for a hell of a lot of money too, if he's on TV is friggin' Korea!) but that all it did was totally screw up his life.

Not an uncommon occurence actually, from what I understand.

The episode title, Numbers, also points to this conclusion.

[Grant]

I predict that Walt will die because the actor sucks and will start looking noticeably older when they are only on the island for a few months, as a consequence of something Locke does. In addition, it will fuel the whole divided tribes things for next season.

I think Walt might just go MIA for a while. So you could get away with older Walt coming back in the future. He still has those nifty psychic powers.

[TCJohnson]

Walt is the main focus of all the weirdness on the island. He is too important to the story.

I really think that it is either going to be Charlie or Hurley that is going to die.

[Grant]

Walt is the main focus of all the weirdness on the island. He is too important to the story.

I really think that it is either going to be Charlie or Hurley that is going to die.

They blew their chance to kill Charlie as far as I'm concerned. If they try again I'd be waiting for Jack to magically pound on him for a half hour. I think the Lost creators are just scared of the rabid hobbitphiles that watch the show.

Hurley is good guess but who's going to fill the valuable funny fat guy void? Unless one of those anonymous castaways turns out to be John Belushi I say kill one of the pretty male models like Boone or Sawyer instead of Hugo.

[StoneGold]

Crap crap crap, there may have been symbolism at the end of last night's show. What happened? Hurley's CD player died. You do the math.



Again, that's assuming it was symbolism.

[LtMarvel]

I went back and watched the flashbacks to catch Hurley on TV. Good eye, people! (as was already said).

There was another cute Hurley preview when the kid mentioned that Hurley owed him a large sum of money from backgammon. And did you notice how the kid was winning against Locke from the very first roll?

[Spiff]

I can't recall the last time they killed the comic relief.

Who I'm hoping for to die is either Michael or Walt, for being the two most obnoxious characters on the show, but I get the feeling Walt is "safe." Not exactly sure what role Michael plays.

It seemed that Hurley was getting into a car of some sort when he was on the television. My guess was that it seemed like a commercial of some sort, or perhaps some reality tv type deal.

Also, who knew the Korean auto industry was so hardcore...

[StoneGold]

Something to think about. Maybe dying ends up not so much dying...


as joining Them. Whomever They are.

[darkkeeperjr]

Here is SUPPOSEDLY how season 1 is going to end...

A helicopter pilot lands on the island and tries to contact emergency rescue crews but those wanting to stay on the island, including Locke and Kate, destroy the helicopter as all out war erupts and the island is divided into two "tribes". Jack tells Kate that if they are rescued he will turn her into the authorities just like he did his father. During the battle, Kate stumbles upon a dying Jack and he asks for help but she walks away crying and leaves him to die. However, he will not be the one to die and the actual death wont be revealed until the first episode of season 2. The tribes will be:

Locke, Kate, Claire, Charlie, Boone, Jin, Walt
Jack, Shannon, Sayid, Sawyer, Michael, Sun, Hurley
makes you wonder if someone is going to look for the pilot of the helicopter.wonder what kind of range a coper has now a days. :rolleyes:

[EZMOHR]

I still think Sawyer will be the one to die. The romance triangle is dying. He has something to atone for. His solo episode just set up to be he is the one going out. Too bad. I like him a lot.

Also, that was cool whomever picked up that was Hurley on TV. Totally missed it until I went back to look at it.

I think there is something sinister about Walt now. You know the whole, absolute power corrupts absolutley vibe. Maybe Locke is kind of his Palpatine.

[Slappy san]

Also, that was cool whomever picked up that was Hurley on TV. Totally missed it until I went back to look at it.


Does anyone know what those characters meant?

[Blink85]

Spoilers as to what was on TV for that scene













Hurley was a lotto winner

[hulahulk]

OK, so the numbers that Hurley won the lottery with are tied in with some old military/science thingamajig. Another distress signal, "sixteen years ago", "ship grounding", a radio tower, and a "pissed off giraffe"! Good episode. I cannot believe we have to wait so long for new ones to come around again.

[Elias Bogan]

Im confused because I have heard 2 conflicting dates about the next all-new episode. The first in March 30th which makes given that abc is debuting its new drama "Eyes" that night and it would calculate that the season finale would air on May 11th, escaping those two hour long idols. The other date is apr 13th which pushes the finale to the final wednesday of the season and the may sweep but that doesnt make sense cause its ratings will probably be hurt by Idol results show.

[hulahulk]

Yeah. I have heard both dates as well. tvtome.com (www.tvtome.com) or ABC.com (www.abc.com) might have the right info. I haven't actually looked though.

[ghostrider666]

A really good show on the numbers. Cool to finally learn something about Hurley. Again, more weird stuff about the island.

[LtMarvel]

I loved how Hurly hugged the French woman.

He then comes back to the group and hands over the battery. No big deal.

And we learn about Hurly's mental health.

[Ottmeister X]

This show is great. Just love it.

Kate was an easy choice to pick from the beginning as a "hottie". After tonight's episode though, I think Claire is pretty gosh-darn hot and probably more attractive than Kate. Her use of her accent gets my blood movin'!

[TitoJones]

This show is great. Just love it.

Kate was an easy choice to pick from the beginning as a "hottie". After tonight's episode though, I think Claire is pretty gosh-darn hot and probably more attractive than Kate. Her use of her accent gets my blood movin'!

Accents are sexy.

But Sun is the hottie of the show in my opinion.

[StoneGold]

Just random stuff to ponder. Hurley was the first person on the show to actually be open about his past. OK, Charlie to a certain extent, but he hasn't actually told the story to anyone.

Hurley's winning streak ended when he crashed on the island. He lost all that cash to Walt, and he lost at golf.

Did Locke know it was Claire's birthday and was building her a crib for it, or was he just being helpful in a general sort of way?

What else could the battery be used for? Because obviously it's going to be used for something else.

You like Hurley's little exposition sequence talking to the French woman where he revealed all the apparent plot holes in the show?

[hulahulk]

This show is great. Just love it.

Kate was an easy choice to pick from the beginning as a "hottie". After tonight's episode though, I think Claire is pretty gosh-darn hot and probably more attractive than Kate. Her use of her accent gets my blood movin'!


Sweet Claire. Sweet, sweet Claire. Actually, all of the female main characters are pretty hot. Shannon, Kate, Sun and Claire are all honies with whom I'd love to be lost.

[Elias Bogan]

Whoever plays Danielle Rousesaue(spelling) needs to be added to the regular cast next season. She already has great chemistry with Sayid (NA) and Hurley (JG) and im sure she would with the rest of the cast.

Also, am I the only who noticed that picture of Nadia from Sayid's backstory?!?

[StoneGold]

Also, am I the only who noticed that picture of Nadia from Sayid's backstory?!?
No, he lost it when Rousseau took it off of him. Anyone want to bet it messes things up between him and Shannon?

I agree about Danielle. She's a good addition to the mix.

And yeah, I saw Sayid pick up the photo, too. Cool moment. He will bring it back to camp, Shannon will see it and either get jealous or like Sayid even more.

[Toonimator]

So, we also got another Flashback Connection: Hurley owns a controlling interest in the box company Locke worked for!!

And now we know why there hasn't been any hatch progress... all Locke & Boone have been doing is unearthing more of it. Just digging. Now that we get the whole numbers thing... time to revisit the hatch!

[Patman]

Danielle Rousseau is played by Mira Furlan, who was Delenn on Babylon 5 for those 5 seasons that the series ran.

[hulahulk]

[Toonimator]

And why did I think I heard about the shoe company fire before, too?
While I don't recall hearing about it, the shoe company was up in Canada...

...and Kate's from Canada.

I know, that's like saying to someone you just met "Oh, you're from New York? Do you know Frank?" but this show is built on these little "coincidences"

[StoneGold]

Blech, had a theory ruined before I typed.

Is there anything funnier though than watching Hurley run?

[Ryan K]

I love Hurley, so I really enjoyed this week's episode.

For the first time I was actually getting mad when the flashbacks would end and the action would return to the present on the island.

[Spiff]

I'm trying to figure out whether or not Hurley had some bad luck on the island. Wonder if the island broke the curse, unless you count the whole Ethan incident. and his batteries going out last episode.

When he broke down and cried on Rousseau's shoulder was one of the most strange and awkward moments I have ever seen.

[Toonimator]

Hurley on the island: stepped on the sea urchin. Remember the whole "pee on my foot!" exchange with Jin?

So you could say he had some bad luck... pluss his batteries running out! (VERY cleverly handled last week)

[TheFan]

Hurley is probably going to be the one to open the hatch. He has the key, after all, and he's already opened one Pandora's Box. Of course, the question is...can he close it before Hope is lost?

[StoneGold]

One thing I'd like to know is why Hurley was in a mental institution.

He did say one thing, not the one thing. As in he is adding that to the list, since no one else mentioned it. So your attempt to be humerous at his expense really kind of sucked balls there.

[LtMarvel]

Hurley is also down $64,000 to the "I like it here." kid.

[Grant]

Hurley is also down $64,000 to the "I like it here." kid.

Well I figure if the kid is so intent on staying I figure that little deal is void. Be funny if both of them ever make the final episode of the show and they get off the island Hurley honors that bet.

[GremlinClr]

Way to not notice the big freakin' green smily indicating a joke at the end of the post there, buddy. It was painfully obvious what he meant and I wasn't trying to be humerous at his "expense." Grow up and quit trying to stir up shit.

[Grant]

So is it March 30th or April 13th>???

I'm hearing April 13th. Also is supposebly a Locke episode. So maybe we'll find out if he's good, bad or just a weird f***ing dude.

[Elias Bogan]

See I would think Apr 13th since they could run repeat free for the rest of the season, but ABC would have to be deeply stupid to set up "Eyes" to fail without the benefit of new episodes leadin.

[Ugoff]

I have a crazy idea about what the numbers might mean but I dont want to jinx it. Ok let me see. I'll have to think about if I'm gonna share.

[Deathstroke]

Great episode and probably the second best flashback storyline behind Locke's.

[darkkeeperjr]

O.K. How many of you are going to use the numbers in your local lottery game? Did anyone add them up yet? Who will be the first one to dare post them on the board knowing that they might be linked to a curse? Did anyone try to phone the numbers yet? well???

[Predator]

This episode also gave some more suspicion to Locke. Yes he was kind to Claire, but we don't know if he just wanted to help her or lure her to his side. I just hope that come April, we get some answers to Locke's true motives.

Actually they are only bad luck to the people on the board that does not post them. Whomever does post them, will have good luck.

So in that case 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42

[Elias Bogan]

Apparantly next season Mira Furlan is going to join the regular cast and an opening credits will be created using scenes from the first season and first few episodes of the second.

The only problem with this i forsee is that unless the credits are kept alphabetical, it will create tension and decension within the ranks as some actors receive higher billing and possibly more money than others.

When you say, "lure her to his side", are you referring to the rumors that he thinks will be a scism among the survivors at season's end, and he's looking for more allies; OR - are you thinking that he is a psycho deep down and is toying with her?

I like you am hoping for some answers regarding him. Confusing one, ain't he?

I meant ensure her loyalty to him as he has done with Boone and Charlie. For all we know, Locke is a psycho that could make Hannibal Lector piss his pants, but I'm hoping that's not the case.

Locke is an enigma, but I'm still holding onto the theory that he's not totally evil. Remember, in Claire's dream he had both a white and black eye. I'm going with the theory that Locke isn't totally good or evil, he's kind of a gray area to help people along with deciding what path they will choose in life.

Cool. We're on the same page then. I'm not sure what to think either, but I definitely hope he isn't Lector's worst nightmare. I missed the Claire episode, so I did not know about the black and white eyes thing.

The epsidoe started with Claire having a dream. In it, she came upon Locke at a table in the jungle--playing backgammon IIRC, but I might not be--and when he looked at her his scarred eye was black and his other was white. We also saw Claire baby in a crib with toy planes in a mobile hanging above it. I assume the dream was symbolic in several ways, thus adding fuel to the grey Locke theory.

And I doubt Locke is Lector's worst nightmare, but with Terry O'Quinn's acting I think he could pull it off. :)

[Deathstroke]

Mira Furlan becoming a regular would be a great addition.

[Elias Bogan]

So i'm watching a repeat of "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues" and it suddenly occurs to how much cooler and interesting Boone was behavior he became Locke's desciple. Also, Walt needs to die. The kid can't act and he is the most ungrateful and vile person I have ever on television. I would rather be friends with Ethan that this moron.

On another note, "Whatever the Case May Be" (the only episode I have never seen) is going to air next week followed by "Hearts and Minds" on the 23rd. The new episodes start on the 30th!

Mar 30th: (All-New!) Dues Ex Machina
Apr 06th: (All-New!) Do No Harm
Apr 13th: (All-New!) The Greater Good
Apr 20th: (repeat) Pilot-part.I.
Apr 27th: (repeat) Pilot-part.II.
May 04th: (All-New!) Born to Run
May 11th: (All-New!) Episode 1.23
May 18th: (All-New!) Episode 1.24 *season finale

[hulahulk]

Boy, am I glad I watched the repeat, having only previously read about its contents on the 'net.
The one good thing about the repeats is that I can catch up on the episodes I missed (mostly due to the baseball playoffs last fall and work scheduling).

[GremlinClr]

Does anybody know the entire repeat schedule before the new eps start? I missed White Rabbit and am wondering if they'll show it again, I'd like to be caught up before new stuff starts.

I highly disagree about Michael for two primary reasons: His love triangle with Sun and Jin is highly interesting and he MP is a damn good actor.

Supposedly the death is Locke's fault and it occurs before the finale (rumours say in Dues Ex Machine the March 30th episode) so its got to be Boone or Walt since they are both part of his cult. Its funny because I love Locke but cant stand Boone or Walt.

Sweet! What's gonna happen to Alias during that time and next fall?

Here's the reported cover art for the first season. (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=3078)

[Elias Bogan]

hulahulk:

IF "Alias" does come back for a 5th season (ABC and Touchstone have satisfied their 88 episode agreement with TNT by the end of this season) it will most likely return again in January and run un-interrupted through May. Now, the deal with TNT can be read two ways and I choose to look at like this: TNT broadcasting "Alias" five days a week can only help the show and build up audiance throughout the fall.

Deathstroke:

That is a great cover for the show. It really encapsulates what the logo does at well. Certaintly has that "what the hecks inside?!?" vibe.

Now, the deal with TNT can be read two ways and I choose to look at like this: TNT broadcasting "Alias" five days a week can only help the show and build up audiance throughout the fall.

Deathstroke:

That is a great cover for the show. It really encapsulates what the logo does at well. Certaintly has that "what the hecks inside?!?" vibe.


Cool. Thanks for the heads-up.

As far as theDVD is concerned, I may have to purchase it. Even for that price.

LOL, yeah it certainly determine the spending of my cash.

[cactusmaac]

I wouldn't miss Michael or Shannon.

[Grant]

I think it'll be Boone, simply because his character seems to serve no real purpose on the show and doesn't represent anything.

You could say he represents the useless pretty boy role but then again Sawyer seems to be filling that niche well. I don't think it's Boone because apparently the character is suppose to be a fan favorite. Does anyone really like Boone?

[Greg Hatcher]

Does anyone really like Boone?


I was indifferent to him until I saw his spotlight episode. Then I actively disliked him.

[cactusmaac]

BTW did anyone else catch the reference to the box company in Hurley's episode?

I think he may have been Locke's employer.

[Ryan K]

I could stand to lose Michael or Boone. Michael just annoys me.

[Grant]

Someone on the thread mentioned it before. I haven't seen the episode. Haven't watch any television in two weeks.

[Grant]

I actually like Michael. Walt not so much.

[Ryan K]

It sucks because I really really like Harold Perineau Jr., but I just don't like Michael. I don't mind Walt but his storyline frustrates me.

[Elias Bogan]

I am sorry but the actor who plays Walt cant act worth sh!t.

[StoneGold]

Everybody keeps talking about killing off characters because they aren't liked. Doesn't it make more of an impact if the character is someone people actually give a rat's ass about?

[Elias Bogan]

StoneGold:

ABC and JJ Abrams would have to be deeply stupid to kill off one of the more popular characters like Locke, Jack, Kate, Charlie, Claire, Charlie, Sayid or Hurley.

That only leaves Sun, Jin, Michael, Walt, Shannon and Boone and given the incredible acting and chemistry between YK, DdK and HP I highly doubt that any individual from that triangle will be killed off. In addition, we know the death is a consequence of something Locke does so agian that leaves Shannon, Boone or Walt. Given that even with the addition or Rosseau (Mira Furlan), males still out number females 2 to 1.

Conclusion: Walt or Boone is going to die and either die will affect a large portion of the cast not just becasue it is someone dying but the ripple effects will touch every single main character in a lot of fewer than the six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

On another note, according to a poster over at www.lost-tv.com that attended something called the Paley festival, the season finale is going to be a two parter and part II will be a 90-minute special (8-9:30?) and THE LAST 30 MINUTES WILL BE COMMERCIAL FREE! 30 FREAKIN COMMERCIAL FREE MINUTES OF "LOST"!!!!!!!

[Grant]

Everybody keeps talking about killing off characters because they aren't liked. Doesn't it make more of an impact if the character is someone people actually give a rat's ass about?

Yeah exactly. Like what Joss Whedon would do on Buffy and Angel. We would grow to love certain characters and he killed them. Like I didn't want Wesley, Fred, Tara, Joyce or Jenny Calender to die. But it did make the show better.

Like I really think they should have let Charlie die a few episodes back.

[StoneGold]

StoneGold:

See, that's what you're missing. You can kill of a single character, get the impact of killing off a character people actually care about as opposed to someone half a step up from a red shirt, and you still have half a dozen or so characters people will tune in for. It's the best of both worlds.

Beyond that, do you really think that killing a character off on this show means they won't pop up again from time to time? In fact, you could get another ratings pop from their eventual return. My guess is working for whatever Ethan is doing on the island.

Considering that at the very least, we have Jack's dad walking around the island, dead does not mean dead on Lost.

[Ryan K]

I t wouldn't surprise me to see any character killed. Any of them. Kate, meybe. I'd be kind of surprised if they killed her. But that's about it.

Actually, I could see a scenario where killing Kate would set up even more storylines. Mostly because I'm assuming it would set up even more of a conflict between Jack and Sawyer. Not to mention it means killing of the show's other tracker.

Which is actually why I am starting to think that Locke might actually be a good person to kill off. Basically, his creepiness comes to fruition and bad things happen that necessitate his death. But think of it this way: how much more screwed are the castaways without Locke?

[Slappy san]

http://aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=19645

There is also speculation as to the character who dies.

[Deathstroke]

Here's some spoiler information:

Claire will go into labor in the April 6th episode. Locke starts to have physical problems in the March 30th episode and disappear entirely in the April 6th episode.

[Deathstroke]

The season finale has been extended from a planned 90 minutes to a full 2 hours. It will air on May 25th going head to head against the 2 hour season finale of American Idol.

[Conn Seanery]

Damn, that was a great episode. Funny and awesome all at once.

[GremlinClr]

Whoa. It still didn't explain how Locke got paralyzed but did open up his backstory. Is Swoosie Kurtz (I'm sure I butchered that spelling) that much older than Terry O'Quinn? I would think they would be close to the same age IRL.

No shocker that Boones gonna die. I am kinda shocked that the radio still worked in the plane tho.

Oooh, light came on in the hatch. Can't wait til next week.

[Grant]

Damn, that was a great episode. Funny and awesome all at once.

The Jack and Sawyer scenes were entertaining. That must be a first.

I didn't like the show that much while watching. Probably because I was paying bills while I was watching it. But then when I thought about it after watching I started to like it more. Especially the parrallel between Boone and Locke and Locke and his father. The ending pissed me off (not in a bad way). I bet we're not going to find out why the hatch is glowing either. Damn those teases. I hope they throw us a bone or two before the season finale.

Kind of disappointed Boone is the one who's going to die. Because it's kind of expected. I was hoping they would develop his character into something more interesting.

GremlinClr: I was under the impression Locke was 10 years younger in the flashbacks so the age difference between him and his mother Kurtz would be closer to 20 years versus the 10 years between Terry O'Quinn and Swoosie Kurtz.

[GremlinClr]

GremlinClr: I was under the impression Locke was 10 years younger in the flashbacks so the age difference between him and his mother Kurtz would be closer to 20 years versus the 10 years between Terry O'Quinn and Swoosie Kurtz.

Yea, I just checked IMDb and Kurtz is actually 18 years older than O'Quinn. I thought they were closer in age. She's held up well.

[Predator]

The more I see of Locke, the more I connect with the guy. He's one of the most sympathetic characters I have ever come across. Terry O'Quinn should be applauded for his work here, some of the best acting I've ever seen.

Okay, enough with the fanboy stuff. WHAT'S IN THE HATCH?!?!?! I gotta know! It's obviously connected to what's going on with the island; but how? I have a sinking feeling that the season finale will end with the hatch just beginning to open.

And I think this puts the kebosh on Boone being the one to die. It's just too obvious.

[ghostrider666]

Very cool stuff. Does the death have to be Boone? Arent tehy going to wait until the season ender for the killer? I doubt that they'll have Boone writhe in agony for like 3 weeks before he kicks.

[GremlinClr]

Well, the rumor mill says it's Boone. And that Locke is indirectly responsible for the death. Which he was if it's Boone. So I say yea, It's gonna be him. And to make it more obvious Claire will give birth next week. A birth and a death.

[Grant]

Yea, I just checked IMDb and Kurtz is actually 18 years older than O'Quinn. I thought they were closer in age. She's held up well.

Check your math. She was born in 44 and he was born in 52.

[Shades0077]

I want to know how Locke got the scar on his eye, cause it wasn't there in the flashbacks. I'm assuming it's associated with whatever happened to him to paralyze him. Or was he just dressing up as Cable for Halloween one year, and got a little carried away? Or perhaps Herr Starr?

[Puffy Treat]

Am I right in thinking that when Boone said into the transmitter that he was one of a group of the Oceanic 815 survivors...that the mysterious voice on the other end said:

"There were no Oceanic 815 survivors." :eek:

[Grant]

I believe you are correct.

[Puffy Treat]

I believe you are correct.


If that was a legitimate source Boone contacted, and not some mystic-monster-alien-Hades-deceit-conspiracy person...hmmmm. That would indicate that the bodies of our castaways are all accounted for to the outside world.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Or the person on the other end could be wrong. They never found the plane or so we think. I hope next week they let us know a little more! I know thats wishful thinking.

[Puffy Treat]

Saying "there were no survivors" (if that _is_ what the voice said. I could be wrong) sounds like the sort of thing they would say only if they found solid evidence. Otherwise the voice would have went "So _you're_ the people we've been looking for over a month!"

[GremlinClr]

Check your math. She was born in 44 and he was born in 52.

Meh, 8 - 18, no difference. :D She still doesn't look 60.

[IamtheRock3]

I wonder will boone tell them about the plane if he can talk.

I mean thats BIG!!

[Grant]

It's interesting because Abrams pretty much overtly denied they are dead. Plus if they are in purgatory or something there should be no way they can communicate with the outside world.

[ghostrider666]

The voice on the other side of the radio dosent have to be correct. Just some guy on the radio that heard on the news that there were no survivors from flite 815, and they wouldve stopped looking for them by now & assumed all dead.
I'm pretty sure Locke got his scar in the crash.
Very cool that the island is now trying to "take back" what it gave the castaways. Locke's losing his legs. The plane's full of H, giving Charlie an unlimited supply, and, there's another gun on the island.

[Elias Bogan]

If it wasn't obvious after last night with Kate sitting in on Sawyer's medical exam, they are going to turn Kate into Nurse Kate. In all seriousness, by the end of season two she will be the one dolling out medical advice and treating patients.

[titanfan]

Very cool stuff. Does the death have to be Boone? Arent tehy going to wait until the season ender for the killer? I doubt that they'll have Boone writhe in agony for like 3 weeks before he kicks.

I can't remember the source, but I thought I read somewhere that it takes place before the season finale. It does look like Boone right now, but I they could always throw us a curveball.

I think next week is supposed to be a Jack episode too right? And we know there is some medical drama in Jack's past where he couldn't save someone...so I think that's where the drama will play out. He'll either find redemption and save Boone or accept that fact that you can't save everyone.

[EZMOHR]

THis is going to sound stupid, but the frst thing I thought of when the plane was falling is that it had the same exact soundtracks that a certain monster on the island has.......Maybe the monster is not a monster, but a sound that is associated with someone about to get hurt or killed.

[Ugoff]

Meh, 8 - 18, no difference. :D She still doesn't look 60.


I know someone whose 50 and they dont look a day over 35. Sometimes genes play a role and diet too. Also plastic surgery which alot of tv actors can afford.

[Ryan K]

It sucks if Boone's the one to die.

1. I kind of like him.

2. I was kind of hoping the big death for the season would be someone more important. He's practically the least important. Killing Boone seems kind of like a cop out to me. Like he was there just to be killed off at the end of the season.

[Rabid Trekkie]

Saying "there were no survivors" (if that _is_ what the voice said. I could be wrong) sounds like the sort of thing they would say only if they found solid evidence. Otherwise the voice would have went "So _you're_ the people we've been looking for over a month!"

Unless the transmission never left the island. Whose to say it wasn't intercepted by the "others"?

[DF2506]

Killing Boone seems kind of like a cop out to me. Like he was there just to be killed off at the end of the season.<

At this point, IMO, it would be a cop out to NOT kill Boone.

Boone has been badly hurt. I don't see any way that Jack can save him. He'd need a hospital for that (of course...maybe not even a hospital could help him after that fall..but he'd have a better chance there...).

PLUS: we've already had two fake outs this season (first with Charlie dying and then being revived and then when it turned out that the part where Boone's sister died was just a dream...).

Lost, as great as it is, hasn't lived up to the 'not even the regulars are safe from death' bit yet that the writers & producers promised in interviews before the show started.

I think, imo, its about time that this happened.

Boone is an ok character. Not one of my favorites (Locke is my favorite! Such a cool character), but I think his death would have a huge impact on the show. The characters would start to be on edge a bit more, since one of them died. That can only lead to great drama, imo.

Next week looks pretty exciting. The stuff with Boone..plus something with Claire too.... :)

DF2506
" Liked this episode alot! Can't wait till next week! "

[Spastic Minnow]

I was under the impression Locke was 10 years younger in the flashbacks so the age difference between him and his mother Kurtz would be closer to 20 years versus the 10 years between Terry O'Quinn and Swoosie Kurtz.

A revelation I missed in the first Locke episode that was shown in the "previously" section this time was that he told the Austrailian Outback hike guy that he had been paralyzed for Four Years. So if this show was about 10 years previously than there's still a good amount more of the Locke story to come. So we know Locke is definitely sticking around for awhile. Even if Deathstroke's earlier spoiler is correct, it still means he'd have to come back. But at the end I was almost sure his paralysis was going to be explained with a car accident in his little VW, not a good car to get into an accident with.

I doubt Locke will be able to get into the hatch yet though. I figure they have to figure out more about Hurley's Lotto number connection first.

[Ryan K]

Boone is an ok character. Not one of my favorites (Locke is my favorite! Such a cool character), but I think his death would have a huge impact on the show. The characters would start to be on edge a bit more, since one of them died. That can only lead to great drama, imo.

Technically somebody's already died. Steve (or whatever his name was). The guy that "Ethan" killed.

Now that didn't mean much to us, since we (as an audience) weren't attached to Steve because he was never focused on. But really I think his death would probably have a bigger affect on the castaways because Steve was killed, while Boone (if he dies) will just have "fell".

Besides it's not like these people have never seen death. How many people died in the crash. Or after the crash.

[Loren]

Technically somebody's already died. Steve (or whatever his name was). The guy that "Ethan" killed.

At least four people have died after the first episode:

1) Steve (or was it Scott?)
2) Ethan
3) The federal agent who was accompanying Kate
4) The woman who drowned

None of these deaths really provided much drama for the other survivors, but the fact that four people have died on the island is a clue to me that the 'dead people in purgatory' theory is off. I'm skeptical of dead people dying again.

[Grant]

2. I was kind of hoping the big death for the season would be someone more important. He's practically the least important. Killing Boone seems kind of like a cop out to me. Like he was there just to be killed off at the end of the season.

I agree. At least kill someone who's useful just to make things a little more interesting. Like if Sayid died that could really raise the stakes. Boone hasn't really proved himself and I was hoping he would after his episode.

[Puffy Treat]

It could be that bodies have been found and falsely identified as part of the conspiracy/cover-up being done by "The Others on the Island".

Anyone have any guesses about the glow from the hatch?

[Ryan K]

Anyone have any guesses about the glow from the hatch?

It's the island's soul in there. Sucked out from the back of it's neck where there is now a bandaid.

[IamtheRock3]

well boone important because of his sister

It like two for one
. What you do to one affect the other. And sense the sister kind of have a thing for sayid..it affect him

So theres your impact. Also Locke would feel guilt and self doubt for causing it. May even blame the insland.

[Apathy Boy]

Boone's not gonna die. Or at least, he won't be the only one to die. It'd be kind of obvious at this point, don't you think?

Who's going to bite it, then? Well, Boone and Locke found a whole lotta heroin. There's an ex-junkie on the island. So Charlie is clearly going to be suffering a relapse soon.* And gee, what could possibly send him over the edge? Why, the death of his platonic girlfriend. Good-bye, Claire.

*And by "clearly," I mean "I haven't got the friggingest clue what I'm talking about."

[DF2506]

Boone's not gonna die.<

IF Boone doesn't die, then nobody is going to die. Cause it would take a MAJOR cop-out for Boone NOT to die. I mean, come on, HOW can Jack possibly save him? Did you see how far gone he looks? How far gone he looked in the preview?

Really, its just amazing that he survived that fall in the first place!

I know you guys don't want him to die...but IF he doesn't...then this show will prob never kill off anybody important (or at least semi-important anyway. Boone is a regular).

I agree that someone else will prob get killed too...but I'm pretty sure Boone will die!

And IF he doesn't...well..I'm going to have even less faith in the writers and producers of this show.

Boone's death might be 'predictable' at this point, but anything else would be 'completly unrealistic'

And yes, I know we've already had some stuff in this show thats pretty fanastic...but Boone's non-death at this point would also be, IMO, bad writing.

They've already copped out of major character deaths.

Yes, Ethan died and so did some other characters, but those were all guest-stars.

Before this show started, the writers said that they'd have some situations where two people or more went off into the woods and instead of a red shirt dying, a regular would die.

So far...they haven't lived up to this.

I want to see them live up to that.

I don't want another cop-out.

Yes, it was amazing when Jack brought Charlie back. I wasn't upset about that. I was very happy in fact!

But, imo, it was lame, when Boone turned out to be having a dream about his sister being dead though.

And now...if Boone survives this..well...I'll continue to watch the show (because I like the show alot), but I will lose respect for the writers and producers. And of course I'll never, ever believe that they'll actually have the guts to kill a main character off....(and if they did I'd wonder how long it would take for that character to come back somehow...)

Anyway, I just don't see a way out of this. Boone HAS to go.

Though I do agree that he won't be the only one. I'm sure there will be some suprising death in the finale too!

DF2506
" Just hope its not Locke! He's the best character on the show, IMO! "

[Elias Bogan]

Okay even if Boone does die, Ian Sommerhalder is probably still going to appear on "Lost" on a recurring basis next season.

[Toonimator]

Some rumors have said that the death will be the result of a betrayal, or at least some action, on the part of a character the dying person trusts...

Would Boone dying result from Locke's betrayal or action? Technically, because Locke couldn't walk & make the climb himself. But that's not consciously his fault.

Now, the planeload of heroin... while it seems a certainty (which not much really is on the show) that it'll figure into a Charlie episode and temptation to relapse bigtime, that doesn't mean he'll take the bait. But if he does, and is bonkers on heroin, maybe something he does (or DOESN'T do) because of the stuff causes Claire's death?

In any case, if Boone dies or not, I hope Locke thinks twice about following signs in his dreams, especially when it shows a fellow survivor covered in blood.
