Great, I can't read any of this until I clear out my Tivo. I'm three episodes behind, I think. So thanks for nothing, and I mean that in the best sense. I'll be back.

coash

she reminds me of kate beckinsale. even her name is kate.

Averett

Well that was another excellent episode!

When Jack found the plane wreckage and his dad's coffin, was the body in there? It was so dark I really couldn't tell. It looked like the body wasn't there.

Next weeks show looks insane..

Spoiler: Locke is the only guy who feels positive about the island. He's the only guy to have seen the beast and not gotten killed by it. I'm thinking there is going to be a theme based around "You were lost (lacking direction or 'traction' in life) when found (society), but are found (happy) when lost (clear of society)." That's how it is playing out in my head. Also, as for Locke. I think he is the key to setting off the story, that when his prime function is fulfilled it will be like turning on a another layer to the story. I'm thinking that it is the entire point of his character, for now anyway, as his previous self seems like a vamped up Milton waiting to haul ass which is inherently funny and seems like a joke origin made even funnier by the irony of having a lame background for a pivotal/bad ass island goer.

Spoiler: Nope, hence the energetic bashing.

Averett

Xell, you don't have to use spoilers for that I did enjoy Jack bashing the hell out of the casket though!

I was hoping to watch it last night, but didn't have time, so maybe tonight I'll watch it off the Tivo.

I've still got Charlie's tattoo rambling around in my head. That was significant.

Yup, that was indeed good stuff.... I wonder if that's an actual tattoo or if it's for the character?

What happen at the last few minutes, my VCR didn't record it. It got as far as jack (?) telling that girl that his father die. Did he tell her that the coffin was empty?

maleficent

and the next line o the song is Misunderstanding all you see...

Hmmm - -maybe the writers have a sense of humor?

gotta start watching this show -- it's just on too durned early

My electricity cut off in the scene with Jack and his mother, and when it came back on Jack was hanging off the cliff.
What happened in-between?
Thanks for any help.

It was reveal that Jack father was dead, and that jack saw him in the jungle and went chasing after him and trip and roll down a hill and off a clif, he grabbed onto a root of a tree. I think that was it,not sure if they showed anything back at camp.

guthmund

I'm loving this show more and more.

It's got a nice pace, I have no complaints about the acting and the story is just too good.

The scene where Jack was inching forward to touch the "ghost" and it turned out to be his father....fantastic. It gave me chills.

I can't wait to see where this is headed. Strange things in the jungle, polar bears, Locke walking again and Jack's dead father walks again.

Thanks for the explanation, L.A. Appreciate it.

It doesn't sound like I missed too much.

I hope Jack's father's body is missing and not come back to life.
I don't really want a supernatural storyline.

it looks like we are beyond that now...

Lockke's miracle, saying the place is 'magical'...

Jack's (maybe ghost) dad leading him to a source of fresh water...

i wonder what other 'miracles' might be revealed?

I'm feeling that a 'miracle' will involve the baby. just a thought - will be interesting to learn her story

cartmen34

I've got the same problem. TiVO stopped recording it too soon. I got as far as Kief did. Jack has just told Kate that his father died and.......

then what? Anybody? Help?

I love that its all outdoors. It's like a scripted Suvivor meets Predator. The characters do have some strength. I'll give it that. Where I start to tune out is when it gets all supernatural, as some of you have expressed. For me right now it's teetering on the edge of being cheesy and larger than life. I also wonder as to the longevity of the show. I'm sure all these opinons have been expressed. Well thats my $0.02

espi

JJ Abrams did an Interview on Fresh Air where he talked about how difficult it was to do so much filming outside. Kinda of an interesting interview, especially when he talks about Alias.

Did anyone catch the last 10 or 15 seconds?

Averett

It's stupid ABC's fault. The show ran 61ish minutes instead of 60.

I don't remember what happened at the end. My memory is pretty crappy when it comes to things like that. I'd suggest setting your VCR/TiVo to record the shows before and after Lost. I usually set my VCR for a minute or two before and after the show

crossova

i missed the begginning of the last episode...which lady drowned?

i think Locke is just happy his legs are working again...he will be around for a long time because w/o they wouldnt know how to hunt.

i want to see what the beast is. i swear its a dinosaur. its gotta be.

i dont think there was a body inside of the coffin.

Cynthetiq

okay...

here's the last thing that he says.
Spoiler: "Yeah, I'm sorry too."

Tivo caught the rebroadcast on Saturday night...

The woman who drowned wasn't really a character on the show. I think they called her Joann or Joanna. Could be wrong. She was one of those background folks you see wandering around.

Let me see, at the beginning it showed Jack in a flashback as a little boy after he had gotten beaten up by bullies, trying to help out his friend, and coming home to hear his father tell him he didn't have what it takes to make the coldblooded life decisions needed to make it to the top. Or something like that. (someone correct my mistakes, please)
Anyway, he comes back to the present and tries to rescue the drowning woman, who they've never shown before, but he wasn't successful.

In the last part, after he found the water, his father's empty coffin, and after smashing it to pieces, he goes back to the beach to find Charlie pushing around Boone, saying he took the water bottles, which he admitted doing.
Jack makes a speech saying they all need to work together as a group, or they will end up dying alone.
He tells them he found water and they need to divide into work groups to get it, food and fuel.
And I don't believe he even mentioned the coffin, let alone it was empty.
He did say he was in Australia because his dad had died, though.

That's all I remember. I taped over the episode with a Dolly Parton concert.

Edit: What they said.

i read on the abc website, i think, that this week's episode will also run 61 minutes. so set your vcr's accordingly. if i find the link, i'll post.

Lockjaw

I'm drawn in by this show but it's so random ass it's annoying. The dinosaur/ghost/miracle survivor thing just might become a bit too much eventually.
It's like Jurassic Park meets Ghost meets Fantasy Island meets Cast Away.

Redlemon

I think it'll resolve into one thing or another, eventually. The fun is figuring out which one it'll be.

I didn't really like this last episode, but I'm still watching. "Dead dad's ghost" was a bit obvious.

L.A. Kief

well, fuck that will suck. I record C.S.I NewYork and it is on after Lost. But of course I'm about given up on it. Not as good as CSI and Miami

warrrreagl

That's odd. In my market, there's an hour between Lost and CSI:NY.

Another good episode last night. Poor Sun.... I was sitting in my apartment during that last airport scene saying "Just leave! Go! Run!!" I wonder what the deal she made with Michael was....

Hopefully for a shameless, gratuitous sexual encounter...

Speaking of such, when are the two main characters going to bump uglies?

That whole scene with the bees nest was taped purely to show some skin. I didn't mind, but it was fairly blatant. I thought Dominic Monaghan's line was good. The girl said she took her shirt off because it was full of bees, and he said "more like C's actually.

A good episode.

This whole show is reminding me more and more of "Lord Of The Flies" though.

Averett

I also liked how Charlie greeted Jack and Kate

"Are you two through verbally couplating?"

Lauged so hard at that!

Latch

Yeah... the directors are doing all the cheesy lead-romantic-couple stuff, but at least they have the sense to make fun of it.

Another good episode. I actually like the fact that they've laid off the "mysterious creature in the forest" angle a bit. Still, it makes you wonder....

tooblekane

i keep anxiously awaiting each episode, but i still can't decide if i like the mystical aspect or hate it. on the one hand, it's different, it's original, and it keeps you guessing. on the other, all the questions are getting on my nerves, and i'm getting the feeling there won't be any solid answers until the show is about to go off the air.

Averett

Yeah but if you had all the answers, would you still watch?

I've heard rumors that Jack might be gay because he didn't make a move on Kate.


Does this splitting of the survivors bother anyone else?
Why not leave a few on the beach to tend to fires and watch for ships and planes, while the bulk go to the cave?
Then they could rotate the people to the beach to relieve the guards.

i don't expect nor want all the answers, especially not this early. it's just starting to irritate me how each mystery is piled on, or intertwined with, another one.

Latch

One of my major fears with the "thing in the forest" is that once we find out what it is, it will just make the show cheesy. I'm thinking of a certain recent Stephen King movie, where there was this "thing in the forest", and then it turned out to be a stupid looking-fake alien or something... and it just ruined the rest of the movie.

Anyways, here's hoping that doesn't happen here...

darens42

no - that is what makes it fun - i like guessing what's about to happen...

there are so many different story lines & twists so far I haven't run out of things to guess about

tooblekane

as long as it doesn't turn out to be a retarded man-alien that says "ooby-ooby doo", i think we'll be okay.
