LOST - ANYONE ELSE WATCHING? (at US airing pace)

[Guest]

No clue how many episodes.

I do think Boone was the only one to see it because he was alone.  I also think Jack was the only one to see his father, but if you remember, he ran in to Locke in the woods and told him what he saw and thay he thought he was going crazy.  Locke told him to go with it and follow him or something like that.  Almost as if he knew.  

However, anther thing that still gets me to prove my theory wrong is why the captain would have been killed by the "monster".

I feel like this is going to be like the 6th Sense.  In the end when we know the whole story, we'll have to go back and see all the subtle hints that led up to the end.
for example, are we sure that all members present in the plane saw the pilot and saw him die?

As far as the monster goes, did anyone see the episode Wed?  I don't think the monster has any real shape.  Granted, it startled me and I didn't get a good look at it but it was kind of like a distortion of the scenery.

[rns91294]

It was a distorition of scenery, but than you have to think, Boone was seeing all that from the drugs he was given.  Is it possible what he saw wasn't really what killed the captain in the pilot episode?

[Morrisap]

Well, if in theory these are hallucinations...... Do we see parts in the episodes from the view point of a given character or as it actually is?  For example, if Boone is drugged and sees a distorted monster, does that mean that us as viewers see the island as Boone sees it or just the distorted monster?
Do you get what I mean?  Like, do we just see one aspect as Boone saw it or do we see everything as Boone sees it?

[rns91294]

I would think we are seeing it as Boone sees it, just like we were able to see Jacks Dad as well.

[Eve]

No I don't think anyone else could see him. But it's true, the island makes you see things. It does something to you - affects you in come way. How many episodes will the series run for, does anyone know?

As long as people watch, this show will run.  Usually the main actors sign contracts for 5-6 seasons when they start a new series, so if the ratings hold I imagine they have a few years in them...Probably 22-24 episodes per season.

Well I don't know about that. This has to come to an end soon - there's only so much they can drag this out over. And I did some research and came up with an episode list:

3.   1-3   102   06-Oct-2004       Tabula Rasa
4.   1-4   103   13-Oct-2004       Walkabout
5.   1-5   104   20-Oct-2004       White Rabbit
6.   1-6   105   27-Oct-2004       House of the Rising Sun
7.   1-7   106   03-Nov-2004       The Moth
8.   1-8   107   10-Nov-2004       Confidence Man

17.   1-17   116   23-Feb-2005       ...In Translation

Looks like in 2 episodes they might get rescued and then there looks to be 2 follow up episodes? Who knows. Looking forward to finding out anyway...

Hmm that's odd - maybe someone was kidding me but I heard it was all planned out for 4 years or something!

SUUUURELY that can'tbe it!

The card set isn't due out til late next year so it's VERY unlikely that the series will have ended prior to that!

[MakTheYak]

Seriously? 4 years? How are we supposed to keep track of 4 years worth of programming? I hope there are some break points where most things are wrapped up somehow so we don't have to remember the plot of hundreds of episodes...

[Roz]

OR

We'll have to make crib sheets.. notes on what happened in which episode!  

There's one thing for sure on this island... a LOT of people are having hallucinations... but I guess sometimes we don't know what's real and what isn't when we are watching.

Perhaps the homecoming in the next but one episode could be Claire coming home?? We can only hope!

[MakTheYak]

Good point. I bet it is.

[Morrisap]

I wonder if the next season will be a focus on the other 20 some odd people stranded on the island that we haven't really seen yet.  I think there are 43 or so people on the island that were stranded together and we only see stories on a portion of the characters that we know.

[rns91294]

I was wondering what they could do next season because there is only so much they can do witht he people we know.  Going in to the others on this island that we really haven't seen, but having all the case from this season in the background would be a really good way to continue this show.

[savage727]

I agree that would be interesting to focus on another group of survivors for the following season but somehow I do not think that is going to happen.  I think the show will continue to focus on the current characters.  

[rns91294]

You are probably right.  Besides, it wouldn't be the same.

[Roz]

Right - I daresay this is the last time I can look or post in this thread til Thurs... you will probably all be chatting away about the latest installment tonight!



I hope it's good (but I am sure it will be). Enjoy - and come and chat about it here so I can come and join in when I have seen it!

[rns91294]

My husband heard on the radio this morning that tonights episode is going to be the most revealing.  We shall see.

[Eve]

Apparently we're supposed to get the backstory of the father & son, whose names are escaping me this afternoon. Can't wait!

[rns91294]

I know one of them is named Walt or Walter.  I think they waited this long to show them, and maybe even Hurley because I have a feeling the kid has more to do with this than we know.

[Roz]

Michael and Walt!



How long have I got til I can't look at this thread any more?
