Lost S.P.

[aud19]

Who watched it last night!?!?!? :P I LOVE that show!! :yesnod:

[Azeke]

Not me :rofl:

But seriously, it looks like a good series. Is there anything old or new that you can compare it to? This will give me some idea, and also do I have to watch every episode?

Azeke

[aud19]

I can't really compare it to any TV shows..... Nothing really like it....

How about Gilligans Island but WAY more intense/dramatic/suspenseful etc :lol:

Really though I don't think I've seen another show that keeps you on the edge of your seat as much or as often. Not to mention all the direction it sends your brain spiraling thinking of possibilities/tangents/theories etc!!!

You probably don't have to watch it from the beginning but it wouldn't hurt! (And it's well worth it! :yesnod: Go rent it!)

[Sithlord]

I absolutly love this show at the moment. I'm in the process of watching season 1 up to ep16 and loving it. I strongly suggest you watch it from the begining as it is character driven and you need to follow everyones journey and watch them evolve as the show progresses. Haven't been into a show like this since 24 Season 1. Give it a go.

[Pez]

If I had to comparing Lost to anything I would say a cross between The X-Files and Cast Away (although Gilligans Island is probably more accurate). Its been a long time since a show has captivated me like Lost. I am on my second viewing of the Season 1 DVD's now. There are so many instances of "background" things its hard to catch them all.

So lets hear your theroies on the hatch now that we know whats down there.

[aud19]

I just can't believe it's the same guy from the stadium that's down there! 8O And also when Walt was standing all wet in the jungle going "shhhhh" T :E

I don't know how the writers can keep this pace up!! But so far 1 full season and 1 episode they haven't let me down yet! :B

[Sithlord]

Hey I'm not up to that part yet. I still have 3 episodes to go. They haven't opened the hatch yet . I love the fact there are so many possibilties and too many varibles to even try to understand whats going on. My best guess would be it's like the movie The Game and either it's a govenment experiment or a Billionaires entertainment. Hope the show continues best show next to Battlestar Galactica new series IMO.

[ajpoe]

This show is absolutely amazing. Aud19, that's not all he said! Anyone who watches this show needs to read the forums at http://lost-forum.com/ if you don't already do so! No matter how close you watch the show, you miss a lot. The numbers appear everywhere and there are all kinds of details that are mentioned but may be missed. I can't believe some of the little things that were mentioned show you how their paths crossed prior to the island... it's very intriguing!

[aud19]

Ok, who knew right away about the girl in the pit?!

Ok, who knew right away about the girl in the pit?!

Not me :duh: I didn't even think any of them still had the gun. Why didn't they use it against "the others" on the beach to avoid capture ? As always happens in TV shows/movies, some of the actions of the characters defy logic. :scratchhead:

[aud19]

Well I think it's at least somewhat plausible, I mean his character had been shot and probably lost a lot of blood... he's drags himself on shore and sees Jin(sp) yadda yadda. I think it's quite possible in the turmoil with added blood loss that he may have forgotten about the gun

As I recall, Michael, not the wounded Sawyer was last shown in possession of the gun prior to landing on the beach. You never know what you would do if faced with a real-life situation yourself but it seemed to me like someone had sufficient time to draw the weapon. :huh: Ah well.

[Sonnie Parker]

No doubt this show gets better by the week... man they can leave ya hangin' like no other show.

[aud19]

Stupid REPEATS :M :evil:

[Brandon B]

Haven't watched, but I saw a description of it as Gilligan's Island meets X Files.

(And it's well worth it! Go rent it!)

[shameless plug for employer]Or download it from Apple for $2 per episode in glorious tiny-rez![/shameless plug for employer]

[Brandon B]

Oh, and a fun website tie-in for you fans who may have missed it.

You haven't watched it yet!!! :E Go! Rent! Now!

[Brandon B]

This will probably sound funny, given I have 2 sat tuner DVRs, an FP system and a JVC DILA RPTV, and a big old surround setup, but I don't really watch TV. Beyond watching a little bit with my kid (scooby doo, croc hunter, etc. maybe 2 hours a week), I don't watch TV almost at all. Use the system for movies (DVD) and PS2.

My wife uses it, and had recorded BSG for me, but we erased those all to free up space and bought the DVD set. I usually find that I would almost rather do anything else than watch TV. In fact, when I actually watch a DVRed show, I often DON'T skip the commercials, just because I haven't seen any in so long and it's fun to see the humorous ones, or those people have talked about months before (it's usually 2-3 months after recording I get around to watching something).

It's odd, because 7 years ago or more, I used to watch a fair amount, maybe 8-10 hours a week. My kid is odd this way too (UNLIKE me at the same age), unless he is sick, you usually can't get him to sit and watch either. Left to his own devices, he would probably max out at 3-4 hours a week, plus maybe another 3-4 hours of Ratchet & Clank on the PS2. Good for us I guess.

So while I would probably watch the first episode and agree it was great, I'd probably wander off and do something else shortly and not get back to it for 6 months.

[aud19]

A new one on tonight! :banana:

[Glen B]

Okay, who saw last night's episode ? OMG, Shannon got shot, I can't believe it. I didn't see that one coming. In the previews when they said someone was leaving for good, I honestly thought it was going to be Sawyer.

[aud19]

Maybe put spoiler tags on that post there Glen

[Chris D]

Ah, and even still, the episode didn't seem to indicate whether the character is leaving for good or not. We were left hanging at the end of the episode, not knowing the status of the character.

[aud19]

Stranded on an island with minimal medical supplies with the injury she sustained.... I'd say there's not much left to question. Then again it's Lost, so who the hell knows!!! :lol:

[Stoney]

My wife noticed, just after the anouncement a couple of weeks ago that someone would die, that the actress playing Shannon was back mainland doing interviews and talk shows while Sawyer was still in Hawaii (getting robbed).

[aud19]

OK somebody explain to me what happened with the "counter" last night! Was that a borderline warning "hieroglyphics" (looked like egyptian symbols of some sort to me) or did the counter actually bottom out and something's gonna happen next episode....?

Have I mentioned I LOVE this show?!?

[ThomasW]

OK somebody explain to me what happened with the "counter" last night! Was that a borderline warning "hieroglyphics" (looked like egyptian symbols of some sort to me) or did the counter actually bottom out and something's gonna happen next episode....?

That's the catch-22 we don't know, it went into the symbols (possibly another form of count down?) but reset. So it was a tease for what may happen if it's not reset.





Translations

[Chris D]

Good pics, Thomas! what I interpreted the sequence to mean is that the countdown had expired, and it had initiated the process of whatever happens when the countdown is done. (launching a missile, maybe?) Notice that you heard a mechanical whine spooling up as the hyroglyphics started.

Putting in the final sequence aborted the launch sequence, and the whining spooled back down.

Thomas, what's the last picture that you posted there?

[ThomasW]

It's someone's translation of the hieroglyphs including their speculation about the missing one.

All this came from the forum below, I found while Googling to find info about Janson's question

http://www.thetailsection.com/forums/

BTW, I'm a fan of the show but not enough to record it and do a frame by frame analysis....:wink:

[aud19]

Cool stuff :T Thanks Thomas!

Not sure what "swd3" means though.... :scratchhead:

[EAmin]

Add another fan to the Lost club. I'm hooked.

[aud19]

I hear tonight's is a repeat :evil:

[aud19]

Wow what a finale!!!! 8O Full of cool stuff (though I think I'm more confused than ever now... :lol: ) I can not wait till fall... this has got to be the BEST DAMN SHOW ON TV!!! :banana:

You guys seen this new web page too?

http://www.thehansofoundation.org/

[DelRay]

The 2 hour finale was awesome. Yes, one of the best shows.

[aud19]

Well the "mid-season opener" didn't dissapoint :T Anybody else catch it? I'm really wondering what the heck they're going to do with Jack?!?!

Anybody have any guesses on the "major character" that's going to be killed off? My guess is Hurley or Sawyer but with this show, who the hell knows!!!

[aud19]

OK that was a crazy episode! :E Did he really travel through time or did he just "dream" it all lying in the jungle?!?! Is Chralie the one getting knocked off? So many more questions!

[DelRay]

Yea, I thought Claire was going to be the one to go. But now it kinda looks like it's Charlie. Can't wait for next weeks show.

[Chris D]

Yes, according to that espisode, Charlie has a big black cloud over his head!

[aud19]

Knowing the writers on this show that could change just as quickly as it was revealed though :lol:

[lambo_freak]

I get to watch in HD for the first time tonight. I'm going out of sequence though. I am skipping about 5 or 6 episodes of season 3. hopefully I'm not to....LOST :rofl:

[aud19]

That's ok I've seen them all in order and I'm still LOST :lol:

[lambo_freak]

Season finale... EPIC!! They have my soul untill season four comes out.

[EAmin]

I agree. That was a good finale. Definitely wanting more!

[Chris D]

Yeah, pretty darn good! I NEVER expected the girl to walk out of the darkness to meet Jack by the airport to be a future Kate. I do wonder why Jack would say that they should have been rescued, though!

Okay, so they hooked me for ANOTHER season.

[aud19]

Yup, EXCELLENT! :banana:

[aud19]

Funny Video! :rofl:
