*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
we just finished season 2 on dvd. I hope this season there is more supernatural stuff. In season two there really wasn't too much of the invisible mechanical monster. Just the smoke thing that Eko stares down (Eko's a Badass.)
But I want more of the feeling of WTF?? Polar bears and whatnot.
But dont get me wrong I loved season two. Lots of Character Development. I hope Michael gets to redeem himself.
What would be awsome is If Hurley Loses a ton of weight and they tie that into the story somehow.
I really like Desmond as a character too. It'll be cool to see how his girlfriend fits into the picture.
Lost is a good time.
micheals a git, i prefer him as Lacoutio (SP) in Romeo and Juliet.
hurley definatly wont loose weight in season 3 as ai saw an interview with him (he was talking about just finishing filming it) and he was still a bit heavy
Michael is a git. "Im going to find my SON!" that's his character in a nutshell. Pretty one track. But now that he has his son, he'll be like "Im going to save my FRIENDS!" the most interesing thing about Michael is Walt. I want to see just how powerfull he is. The whole reason the others let him go was "We got a bit more that we bargained for with walt"
On my tivo it said it was an hour and The Nine was on after and before was something so awesome that I forgot about it. I think it's a reality before it.
I've listened to some interviews from ComicCon and crap with the creators and they said the season was gonna be a bit more scifi-ish but they could have been saying that to make the nerds at ComicCon cheer.
I really hope the next one to die off is Charlie. I absolutely hate watching his backstories. They need to do something with Sayid also. He's a badass sitting around. He and Locke should team up.
Kill Charlie? Charlie kicks ass!
They should kill off someone less signifigant, like Rose or Bernard.
***SPOILERS***
Since the magnetic generator apparently got destroyed in season 2, maybe Rose's cancer WILL come back to finish her off? Maybe Locke will lose his legs again?
Man, I'm so excited. The show is freakin' awesome. I'm very curious to see what happens with Walt. And, I'm really really wondering the fate of Eko and Locke. Did they die in the blast? Hrmmm
After missing season one my wife and I folded to peer presure and watched the DVD set and for a week its all we watched. When season 2 rolled around we tried to watch it but missed one. So we decided to not watch any more until we could get the box set of season 2. I totally forgot about it coming out recently so I guess for next week I know what we are watching when I get home =P
I have to admit I was very skeptical of Lost after all the hype for season 1 and only watched a couple of episodes and it didn't grab me. Then my GF told me about seeing an advert for the Dharma foundation sandwhiched into the real adverts during the show and I thought that was kind of cool.
So I started watching season two and got sucked into it pretty quick after that. It really has been the most compelling thing on telly for a while. The two-part finale to season 2 was just superb.
***Spoilers***
I thought the whole hatch story was really well told...the bit where the sailor guy wakes up on duty in the hatch and hears some distant rumble and switches the light on to go and investigate and you realize it's actually when Lock was trying to get in was just wicked. I wasn't sure if turning that key really destroyed the magnetic thing or just reset it somehow? when Henry heard the weird noise when standing on the dock he didn't look that alarmed about it... I'm on tenterhooks to find out more of what the hell's going on. Anyone any idea when season 3 surfaces in the UK?
Yeah, Im a fiend for this show. There is actually quite a bit of good stuff coming on TV these days. Im going to have to start watching. I really dislike the Michael character. I love the Charlie character, and think if anybody is set for a redemption, it's him. Hurley needs something more to do. Claire seems kinda pointless these days also. She's only there to propell the baby(Aaron) story and provide some conflict/motivation for Charlie.
I was a pretty hardcore fan for all of season 1. Season 2 turned me off however. I still watched all them, but I really couldn't care less anymore. In my mind it's become a 10 minute show with 40 minutes of filler.
I'm pretty jaded these days. I'll give season 3 a shot however.
Couldn't agree more, Season 2 seamed like the first part of the show nothing happened and it just dragged on, then in the last 10 minutes they got to the good stuff and just left you hanging so you tune in next week. That works every so often but not for a whole season.

i might have to drag a VCR into work. only gonna be busy THE EXACT HOUR THE SHOW IS ON be i am excited to see whats gonna happen.
season 2 seemed like nothing happened each week, but after i watched the dvds in a row it seems like a shitton more when on that i remembered. SEASON 3 WILL R0X0RZ UR B0X0RZ
Same, loved season 1. Season two seemed more of a "let's stretch this for a whole season" deal. I really hope season 3 picks up the reigns again.
***Spoiler***
In season 2 when Eko stares down the cloud, if you look veeerry cloesley (probalby need HDTV) at the little flashes in the cloud (that look like minature lightnig flashes), they are actually images from points in Eko's life.
Oooooooh, Lost! I am full of theories for season 3!
I'm thinking that the magnetic gizmo isn't destroyed, but that it was temporarily disrupted and the 'snowglobe' effect is still going on. BUT, I also think that it was off long enough for the island to now be detected (under the notion that it had been electromagnetically shielded before, and why it's more or less invisible to the outside world). We'll get new blood on the island one way or another.
I also think that what we'll discover about the Dharma project is that it has to do with probability, something like the grand unification theory. There are plenty of elements to the show that go beyond just coincidence, and appear to have deliberate purpose (4 8 15 16 23 42). The island is an isolated location to test probability theory without accidently turning the whole planet into a sperm whale (or pot of petunias).
Kate picks Jack and they finally get it on. Sure, Sawyer's all roguish and charming, but Jack is gonan get the girl.
The Others are Dharma experiment lifers, people who have been living it so long that it's who they more or less are now. The people from Oceanic 815 are piece of the Dharma probability machinery, while the Others are the people who operate the machinery (without realizing it). Desmond was always a piece of the machine, along with anyone who ever staffed the hatches.
Walt will be back, but changed. And hopefully an orphan, after he pushes his dad off the boat for being such a twat.
If you watched the 70-fragment clip on You Tube, more of the story opens up (spoilers).
**possible spoilers**
My theory us that the Dharma Initiative was meant to change the valenzeti equation no matter what. This equation calculates the end of humanity, based on a number of variables. I beleive that the tests that Dharma was doing in Zanzibar (I think that's the place) revolved around genetic alterations. They disguised the tests as a "virus cure" to the locals, and used it on innocent people.
I think that through all of Dharma's projects, they are trying to physically change humnaity into a utopian society. To rid us of the desire for power, lust, weatlth - everything that makes us evil.
This doesn't explain odd crap, like the smoke monster. But it's my overall theory for what's going on.
Nothing too sci-fi about it.
Rawr. Didn't see that clip, but it sounds kind of like what I was referring to. I don't think I've ever heard of a valentzi equation, but I'm guessing it has something to do with predicting future events based on probabilities? Not sure how that jives with a utopia, but maybe the thing is that they're trying to manipulate the probability system to cause a utopian society. I know it sounds like a lot of HHGTTG jive, but all fo the events surrounding Hurley's numbers seem to be like a big probability experiment. It'll be neat to see how that plays out (I'll be happy with anything that isn't a giant cliche or some goofy supernatural thing. I demand science!)
heh, I'm only to the end of season one, and it's murder to keep myself from reading spoilers in this thread. I caught something about Dharma, but fortunately all I know as of arriving at the bottom of the page is that she's pretty hot.
I loved season one and have the second DVD boxed set sitting on my kitchen table, waiting to be loved likewise ... but goddammit, my girlfriend, with whom I spend a lot of my free time these days, is terrified of flying and won't watch a series that depicts airplane crashes. Even if I agree not to laugh when she covers her eyes during Scary Parts. The holidays are coming up, y'know, and those images and sounds will still be fresh in her mind when we reach our cruising altitude. So when, I ask ye, will I have a chance to watch season two and join in the messageboard speculation? Not soon, it seems. That boxed set will sit there in its shrinkwrap for the foreseeable future, and that's the hardest thing to bear since heroin withdrawal, it is. I'm sure of it!
Desmond, Sawyer, Ecco, and the old "funny/not-depressed Hurly" and old "mysterious not-a-pushover Locke" are my favorites.
"Walt will be back, but changed. And hopefully an orphan, after he pushes his dad off the boat for being such a twat." -vermilion
Did you see the look Walt gave his captured/betrayed friends at the end of season 2? To me it was a look of "I'm glad it's them and not me." I was somewhat shocked at that myself...because I fully expected him to give his dad the evileye for what he did...regardless of the motive.
I just thought it was becuse Walt was totally freaked out, but you could be right. Maybe the apple didn't fall far from the tree in that case. I read somewhere that the producers were worried about keeping Walt in the show because he was visibly getting older (puberty and all) while the castaways had supposedly just been oin the island for about seven weeks. It could be that they are sending Walt and Michael off the show for just that reason, you never know...
Went by too quickly Good episode though. I think they are using all three as a social experiment right now.
***Spoiler if you missed the show***
I think that guy next to Sawyer was a plant. He helped Sawyer escape to give the impression that there is no way to escape. Now they've added Kate so Sawyer can warn her that it's impossible.
Didn't do much for me. Too often I found myself saying the lines Jack should have said - to his captors, his wife, his dad. He just came across as very ineffective to me in this episode. Fuck the Others and their grilled cheese sandwiches, I wanted to see Jack break that goddamn glass wall. Don't ask questions, don't even speak to them, 'cause they're just going to fuck wiht you and tell you lies. You know that they've captured and possibly killed the people you were with - you go at them until you're free or you're dead. And how does this Juliette chick knock Jack out with one punch? Bleh, I'm angered that no one got any vindication. I wish they had captured Sayed and he had torn some of those bastards up, that would have made me happy.
Okay, so it was a good episode in that it got a reaction from me, but I just don't like what happened. I wanna see our guys get some measure of revenge - they're due!
The intro was awesome. Took my by surprise, actually. At first I was like "z0mFgZ it's Fenry", then it became very clear. I KNEW there was a farkin underwater hatch! hehehe
Damn sharks.
Didn't answer as many things as I had hoped, but I can't WAIT until next week. Maybe we'll see Sayid lay some smack down. Looks like Sun gets shot though
And why is "Ben" soo interested in their sale boat???
I enjoyed the episode but I thought it left a lot to be desired. I'm not sure if it is an underwater hatch, because we saw the lady who was talking to Jack most of the time both with jack and above ground with Sawyer. Looks like it just might be the zoo station.
I was expecting a little more. The opening was great, explained a bit about the others. It seems like they are doing an experiment on jack, kate & sawyer. I bet the kid in the cell is also an other. Next week looks like a little more action and storyline.
i dunno about you guys, but there was a bit too many commercials during the season premiere. Lets tell some info, oh wait commerical, back to lost for 15 mins then commerical.
A local radio station had people complaining about Lost's commercial time also and someone checked into it. Without commercials, it ran for 43 minutes, which is a regular running period for a one hour show. I think the problem was, they just kept breaking in with commercials, then ran short commercial breaks. I really disliked that schedule. I was trying to finish my homework during commercial breaks, and the break would already be over before I got a sentence typed out... but that was more of a personal issue I guess
The best part was by far the opening scene though. Damn I could watch that 5 minutes over and over again
Edit: Also, remember there has been mention of 'bad twins'. That may not actually be the same woman outside with Kate... although I'm sure it is.
I felt like it went by too quick too.
But I feel like they are really gonna mess up the captives and make us hunger for revenge.
I felt bad for sawyer the most. He's like a freakn monkey in a cage, trying to get that fish biscut was humiliating.
Jack is getting more interesting. We saw some of his darkside in his flashback.
Hey, is Julliette being played by Trinity?? I know I've seen that actress somwhere, it looks like Trinity from the matrix.
any whoo fun episode, lots of set up, no answers, but compelling characters, so it's o.k.
Too many commercials, that's my only complaint. This episode was great. The new sets are GORGEOUS! I think my next project might be the area where Sawyer and Kate are being held. The opening scene was nuts - having the camera slowly pan out like that to reveal their little community admist the jungle.
Some images for you lot:
Did anyone follow the ARG? I'd like to talk about it here but its insanely spoileriffic.
Spoiler:
The others are members of an elitest book club bent on capitalizing on children who frequent their elementary school bookfairs. They captured Walt simply to get his opinion on some potential best sellers.
The others' aliases...they typically seem to come from books. IE: Juliet (Romeo and Juliet), Henry Gale (Wizard of Oz), Ethan Rom (Ethan F-rom-e)...I dunno, just speculation.
Really good episode, but Jack and Kate's characters are still pretty blah imo.
Alternate reality game. If you remember from Season 2 there'd be Dharma commercials during the actual commercial break of the show. The commercial would tell you to go to a specific URL, then call a number, and so on. It'd give out clues, pieces of a movie, etc. Went on for a few weeks over the summer.
Everyone who missed Lost last night:
ABC.com has it online to watch right now. (*edit* free of course) About to check out The Nine which I missed for some South Park.
Can't wait to see whats happened to everyone who was in the hatch, Im sure theyre alive but you never know.

and i hate those "british" flash backs, where theres a unionjack on a (im pretty sure about this) american wall. and its all a bit trainspotting.
i hope a giant mechanical treeeating black smoke emiiting MO FO dinasuar eats his head.

and yes, Eko is a very cool character.
I'm pretty jaded these days. I'll give season 3 a shot however.
