Lost

[Josh]

So I'm not going to read any of the thread yet since I'm only on Disc 3 of season one but I am going to say omg holy shit this is a good show. Some of it is forced and very TV, but most of the time its pretty fantastic.

It took a while for me to give a shit about any of the characters, like, six episodes.

I like the junkie ex-rock and roller guy.

From what I've surmissed of the last episode, is that the smoke trail is actually the Others, not the security system. When they finally catch up to crazy French woman, they find the fire creating the smoke and no one around it. My guess - the people who had it, were the people on the boat. They went off into the sea in order to intercept the raft.


The guy who plays Michael confirmed that the guys on the boat were the Others on a Jimmy Kimmel when the entire cast was on his show.

And you're probably right about the Half Life thing. Those flashbacks aren't just for background on the characters. There is probably so much we'll be able to pull from season one, and apply to season two.

I just hope they don't treat the hatch, when they start season 2, as 2 minutes of hatch antics, and 42 minutes of the raft story. I have a feeling it will be this way, as Michael, Jin, and Sawyer try to drift back to the island.

Say, do you know if that episode of Jimmy Kimmel is anywhere floating on any of the Lost sites?

Yeah, it was obvious enough that the fire was set as a distraction, and I too thought the boat people would be part of the Others. They must be working for the smoke trail "creatures" somehow which require a child for some reason.

I wonder what Danielle means by "infected" though? Maybe the boat people are actually former members of her expedition who were "infected" ie: they actually weren't killed but decided to help the smoke cretaures do their evil bidding. Anybody seeing a few possible Babylon 5 parallels here between the smoke creatures and the Shadows?

I have thought for awhile that J.J. Abrams and his collegues are Babylon 5 fans in some way. I mean, before Abrams made Alias, J. Michael Straczynski was the only TV writer I can think of who carefully planned plots years ahead of time ('tho some of Lost seems to be planned while other elements are 'thrown in,' albeit carefully I assume)

From what I read, they aren't going to tease around with the hatch - the main writer, or whomever it was, promised that the first episode will give a very good look at what is down there. It'll no doubt lead to more secrets, but it won't be a "three second look" tease.

As well, it is supposed to take at least a few episodes for the people from the raft to make it back - like four or five, I think.

Awesome, glad to hear it.

Check out these two promos for the episode, in one of them, Kate says in a very frightened voice "John, something is down here!" then she screams and light comes up out of the hatch into John's face. There is also a quarantine sign on the hatch:

Wow, check this out. The site I linked the promo videos from has transcripts of what the whispering voices in the jungle are saying:

Well I'm new to the show. I was looking for something to watch a few weeks ago so I decided to see what the hell all the talk about this is. Surprise! Its a reall good show. I just watched the season finale tonight and wow holy shit. What happens on the boat is just damn cool. Who would have thought tv would have something like that. Some stuff does seem cheesy though...like the weird ghost things and the whatever the fuck thing that makes all the noise and grabbed Locke. Count me in for season 2!

[elfneedsfood]

Wow, the season premier was awesome. This is such a great show.

I hate this show. After I watch an episode, I instantly want to watch another. I hate having to wait!! *grr*

I really wonder how this hatch thing is going to play out. After how long they were playing up getting into it, it is no doubt going to have some major twist to it, beyond the "twist" we've already been given.

Dude, did you watch the season 2 opener as the first episode?

I hope not, for your sake, it fucks you out of about 15 really good moments in season one.

Well, that episode was nuts. Below are some observations I pulled from the DVR last night:


- The injection bottle at the beginning had the numbers on it.
- The hatch had quarantine on the INSIDE of it, so it would allow you to infer that the hatch is quarantined, the island is.
- It looks like Desmond, or the guy at the beginning is typing the numbers into the computer.
- 108 (total of the numbers) is painted on the mural down the hatch.
- The electromagnet that Jack found could very well be what makes the monster/security system function.
- The person who Jack's future fiance kills is named Rutherford... which is Shannon's last name.

And hopping around the net, I have found the following theories:


- Walt says the following backwards: 'Press the button. No, button's bad.' OR 'Press the button when he's not there'. And the only button we've ever seen... is the one on the computer.
- Desmond was featured slightly in one of Locke's flashbacks.
- Desmond and the guy at the beginning are not the same person.
- Go to http://oceanicflight815.com and enter 'theislandiswaiting' after clicking the barcode at the bottom. WEIRD!

I find it wierd that the button says "Execute" and not "Enter" or "Return".
Is that common for old computers?
