Thumbs up for last night's episode. I liked it a lot. I think I have a new found appreciation for Michelle Rodriguez. I didn't like her at the start. I found they tried to make her a little more friendly this time around. It's going to be interesting to watch the two tribes merge over the coming weeks.

I thought it was crap.
First of all it was filler and I hate filler. It was interesting to see what happened to the tail-ies, it certainly wasn't 'a special extended episode' worth of interest. It probably wasn't even a full hour worth of interest, to tell the truth. I think the problem with the episode (other than me really wanting to know what Sayid is going to do with Miss Hardcore) was that I just wasn't all that interested in them. I know nothing about them; I've got no back story. I barely know their names. The 'Echo' thing was interesting and the bit with the radio where Barnard made contact with Boone was nice, but the rest of the show...'twas worthless. Could've all been summed up in couple of sentences when the two groups got together. Next week previews look pretty interesting, eh?

While I thought last night's episode wasn't as great as they made it sound, there may be interesting clues that weren't part of the plot. For instance, the U.S. Army stamp on the knife, and the interestingly pleased look on Goodwin's face when they found the bunker and radio...
I still dislike Michelle Rodriguez just as much. I was hoping to get a good explanation as to why she is such a bitch all the time - something that would make me more sympathetic to her character. What they showed didn't really do that for me. In the beginning, she was very compassionate and caring, but it didn't take long for her to become very domineering and aggressive. Not to mention, now she is responsible for the deaths of at least two people (the guy she wrongfully accused and threw in the pit and Shannon). In the previews it looked like she was afraid of Sayid and maybe even attacking him pre-emptively at one point. Seems to me like she (her assertive, yet wrong instincts) is more dangerous to the group than he is... Unfortunately for me, it looks like they've developed her too much to kill her off and lose the opportunity to keep the focus on her.

I like the Annalouisa character. I have feeling she is going to have been either a marine or special ops. She will likely have a lot in common with Sayeed.
I think we are going to find that she has been though some pretty nasty shit in her past and that all of this is bringing it back (her back story will come, just give it time). She will be redeemed (if I can read my achetypes correctly). It looked like she had Sayeed tied up in the promo. He is definately not someone I would want to piss off.

I don't like Ana's 'Lord of the Flies' character. I hate that Nathan was killed. Fine young Canadian lad, who did not kowtow to Ana's egomania.
Can't figure out why they would get rid of his character so quickly.

It also showed that "the others", are a bit more organized than a bunch of shoeless maniacs, since they had 2 spies (Ethan and Goodwin) ready to go within minutes of the crash on opposite sides of the island, almost like "they" were expecting flight 851. Hmmmmm.

yea, I'm with Guthmund. I'm not as vehemently against the episode, but it wasn't anything special. I was hoping we'd be introduced to some new aspects of who "the others" are, but we weren't. All we saw was that they're sneaky, and they take people, especially kids.... which we already knew.
and the extra 5 minutes were a total gip! they were just clips from last week!

i thought it was alright... i was expecting a few episodes about the tail section tribe... maybe even the rest of the season... and we would get some of their backstories and whatnot... it was definently weird not having the normal characaters in it...
it was an alright episode but nothing really special...

I liked it very much. It was nice to see an episode shot in a different way than the usual "present-flashback-present" approach.
I noted the kid's teddy bear. Wasn't it the same one as the other's were dragging along in the previous episode?

Who's to say Echo didn't recognize it? I don't think he could have done much against a whole group of Others.
He's waiting for his revenge.

The main thing I noticed from this episode was Bernard on the radio talking to Boone. In this week's episode it was Day 40, on the other side of the Island, Day 40 was the day the raft was launched and Boone had already been dead for almost a week.
Am I missing something here or is this a GIANT mistake?

How about all the screwed up music (skips and stuff) whevever they are in the bunker?
Remeber how in Fight CLub Tyler Durden inserted pictures of his penis all over the place in individual scenes? Well they do that stuff whenever they are near the bunker except I don't have Tivo and don't know what the scenes are. Anyone know?

Good, not great show last night. Lot's of talk about already being dead... feeds the purgatory theory.
I didn't get why Echo was being all quiet and stuff. What's with that? Early prediction for next week. Jacks jealous of Kates and Sawyers relationship; in an attempt to thwart it, he tells Kate he likes her; Kate falls for it, they share a brief moment of intimacy, the Jack says or does something dumb to jeopardize it; Kate goes back to Sawyer when he inevitably wakes from his com; which will probably happen when Kate kisses him.

I liked the episode. As I suspected Ana-Lucia is messed up. Now we just need to know why she was in Australia. I suspect she was there to run away from her actions and was on the flight to return to justice (kind of a recurring theme with the show). Good to see Bernard and his wife finally hook up. Do you think they will have a hot sex scene later in the season? I think Eko is going to be a nice counterpoint to John Locke. They are both seem to be mystically driven. As for the Sayid and Ana-Lucia both being dead... it fits the purgatory theme nicely. I still don't think they are in purgatory for real... just symbolically. Everyone on the island seems to have something to atone for... those that can't atone are killed off. (Remember the guy saying, Nathan was not on the list, he wasn't a good person). The innocents, like the children, have been removed from the equation. Because they are innocent.

Even knowing that Ana lost her baby doesn't make me like her or feel sorry for her. At least Sawyer is funny and when a true emergency comes up he can be counted on. He just doesn't want anybody to know it. As far as I can see, Ana is just an idiot with little redeaming quailites.
I also teared up at the Bernard/Rose reunion. I was waiting for it ever since they found the tail section survivors.

I didn't really like this one either. Ana would be a good character if they'd just delve into her a little bit more. I get it. She's angry. Let's move it along a bit, shall we? Surely there are other emotions and avenues to explore than pouty-anger, eh?
I understand for story reasons why they did the things they did, but when Ana-Lucia gave Michael that list of things to bring back, why did he go? Quote:

As for Sayid, I like his reaction. Sayid, like so many of the survivors, is a broken man. He is a good person who did some very evil things and has had some nasty things done to him. He didn't want to torture the Other that they captured... but he did. And clearly 40 days later it is still bothering him. I still say that he an Eko are going to have a lot in common when it comes down to it. I would not be surprised to find out that Eko was responsible for genocide in Rawanda.

I think you're right, Roland. I know he tortured Sawyer, but I don't remember him having a go at Ethan.

As for Sayid, I'm disappointed that he didn't do anything. I didn't expect him to beat the snot out of her or shoot her in the knee cap, but I expected something. I'm supposed to buy into the story that he had strong enough feelings for this girl to do the things he did, but not strong enough to sustain even the tiniest bit of rage? A couple of hours tied to a tree by the woman who shot Shannon and we get...empathy and some psuedo-philosophy? Bah..

"Wednesday, Nov. 30, 9/8c
2x09 - What Kate Did Kate's original crime that started her life on the run is revealed. Meanwhile, the survivors lay one of their own to rest, Kate sleeplessly watches over a feverish Sawyer, and Mr. Eko has a surprise for Locke regarding the hatch." Finally it'll be revealed! I'm curious to see what Kate did that made even her mother so afraid of her..

I've never thought of Michelle Rodriguez as very good looking, but she does look quite attractive in lost. I can't really imagine her in a long floral dress though!

I think either:
a) that was the kid walking by or b) one of the Others just liked the bear and kept it... I like to think "a" is the most likely reason.

I like the "redemption" theory, except...
- Who are the Others in relation to this? Are they there to punish to people? Protect the innocents? Help the person grow? - Why haven't they taken Claire's baby yet? Maybe it's just a matter of time before this is all revealed.... |
