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

[Guest]

[beckham1]

What happened with Michael?  Did "them" capture him?  I didn't know if I was missing something or they didn't indicate anything about it.  It was a good episode, I hope Julie Bowen (jacks wife) signs for one of the sets.  She has been in a few movies and has done a lot of TV shows.  She is smokin too

I am not sure why they didn't ask for walt back?  Well some things aren't meant to be known I guess....at least for now.

You're right, Dave.  While I was trying to go to sleep last night I started thinking...why didn't anyone ask these questions:
Who are you guys?
What are you doing here?
Where is Walt, and everyone else you took?
What is the weird thing in the jungle that pulls up trees?

Well, that's just a few of the questions that would have come to mind if I were them. 

I think Micheal is still in the jungle looking.  I remember the bearded guy saying "He'll never find us".

Sorry to double post, but a friend sent this to me and I thought it was funny.

This was taken from a blog by one of the guys that stars on  "The Office" on NBC. 
 
THE DHARMA INITIATIVE


Many, many people have written replies to my blogs.  Literally TENS 
of people from all over the country.  Some girls have even included 
their email addresses and expressed an interest in getting to know 
"Dwight" better in a romantic sense.

[note:  I was directed to let all the ladies know that "Dwight" is 
off the market. L (sad face)]

But no one, NO ONE!, has ever thought to ask "Dwight" what his 
theories were on the mysteries of the show "Lost."

Watch and learn:

First off, Sawyer is way cooler than Dr. Jack and could kick his 
doctor a$$ if they had a throw down.  And this new enormous African 
fellow, Eko could kick both their a$$es in a pinch.

Kate could kick the little blonde mom’s a$$.  And she could also kick 
the fat guy’s a$$.  And the old bald guy too.

The Korean guy could probably kick the black guy’s a$$, as well as 
his son who is missing.

But Eko could probably kick Kate and the Korean guy’s a$$ together at 
the same time.

Therefore, I think Kate and Eko should hook up. (plus it would be 
kind of funny, because he’s so much taller than she is.)

1)    I think the "others" are actually the employees of Oceanic 
Airlines.  Who has ever heard of Oceanic Airlines!  I think it was a 
fake airline that purposefully crashes and does experiments on it’s 
passengers.

2)    I think that the Dharma Initiative would make a cool band name.

3)    I think the polar bears are actually hippies from the Dharma 
Institute in polar bear outfits.

4)    I think the asian guy from the Dharma film is the Korean guy’s 
dad.  Think about it.  They’re BOTH asian.


Those are but some of my many theories.  Remember, they are theories 
and not fact.

That is All,

Dwight k Schrute.

Personally, I think Anna Lucia, the French chick, and myself could team up and kick everyone's a$$.  Except maybe Rose.  I wouldn't mess with her, I'm sure she's hiding a checkered past.

[beckham1]

That is so funny Kelly I do watch the office and although I thought it wasn't very good at the beggining it is much funnier now.  I believe this is basically a copy cat of the UK original show.?.?  Dwight is by far my favorite character, he makes the show.  Especially the holloween episode where he was the Sith Lord

Does anyone know what's going on with Kate and Jack? We all love Sawyer but does anyone get the impression that Kate thinks she's settling for second best? I do. BUT in previous episodes when she kissed Jack and I guess she was looking for a spark or something I thought that she had decided on Sawyer for good.

Sawyer will understand her better and judge her less, but somehow Jack seems like a cut above (morally - not in the looks department, although I think we have yet to find out why he wasn't taken by the others). I don't know why he seems 'a cut above' since he's acting like a nutter in series 2, controlling, ill-advised etc etc.

I've also noticed a decline in the awesomeness of Locke. He hasn't had the opportunity to show himself as an excellent advisor (if not a leader) or as a protector/huntsman etc now he's taken on the hatch. It's a shame.

Sayid was completely left out of the last escapade which is very unusual. I don't know - I think the group is losing a little cohesion, people aren't playing to their strengths any more, and it is causing chaos.

I do not know about anyone else but I am fed up with Michael for being such a twit on the show!  I could now care less if he ever comes out of the jungle after what he did to Locke & Jack.  I was disappointed in the meeting scene with The Others as nothing was explained about them at all except saying "This is our island" - wow now that's news!   

[Roz]

I do not know about anyone else but I am fed up with Michael for being such a twit on the show!

Yep, totally agreed. He constantly talks about "his rights" as a father, but as far as I can see he was never there for Walt (yes it wasn't entirely his fault) but if I were Walt I'd be furious at this stranger wandering into my life and telling me I had to respect and obey him, when he had earned no respect from me, even children need a reason to look up to someone.

He constantly thinks solo and just does everything on a whim, there's no team co-operation with Michael and like you Ed, it's getting my goat now.

He's my least favourite character, I love pretty much all of the rest of them

[Eve]

Dare I say it, but I get a little tired of Jack and his rigid righteousness. I think he's a jerk a lot of the time...Michael doesn't bother me as much.  I would like to see more of Claire. Except for the one episode in season 1, I think she's the one we know the least about.

[Roz]

Oh good point EveH, I do like Jack but I also agree, he was so reluctant to become leader and now he revels in it, he doesn't find it easy but hates anyone challenging his unofficial leadership or even trying to give advice, and doesn't even heed advice from even our most perceptive Lost-ees - he seems to have some grudge against Locke which prevents him from listening to a word he says

[savage727]

Last night's episode was weird.      In fact I have been noticing a disturbing trend in the second season episodes - to me they are not as good as the first season's shows with the exception of the Mr. Eko episode which was top notch.  It seems like the writers have changed the characters and they are not acting the same.  Roz and others have pointed out things about Jack, I am miffed with Michael's actions and now Charlie is going off the deep end in last night's show.   Does anyone else agree or do I need to have a few cocktails before each show?   

[grecopa]

I agree.  From the previews I thought Charlie was back on the drugs, but now that we know he wasn't it's very strange behavior. 
Something interesting though: I think Hurley might remember Cindy from somewhere other than the flight.  Maybe the hospital?

Actually, I think the quality of the writing is even better than season 1. IMO, it's only gotten better.

[Roz]

Perhaps the character change isn't entirely coincidental. I think this team of writers and producers etc seem very very clued up and I do wonder whether we should be looking deeper into this!

[Bryanjs14]

I really did not like last nights episode...I beleive it was the worst one so far this season...I guess every week cannot be a gem

The only thing that I really got out of the episode is something that Cindy said: "Aren't these a lot newer than everything else down here?"
She asked that about the Washer and Dryer...which when I used my TIVO to rewind and look at them...she was right, they are actually very new...like last 6 years tops.
Anyone think it means anything at all? Or the producers just had a spare modern washing machine and threw it in there

[Roz]

Harping back a few eps, to Kate's original crime episode where she sees the black horse, and they find another part of the Dharma Institute info tape - my thought is that if this were a computer game there would be more bunkers on the island with more bits of the tape...

For sure we know there must be another bunker with linked computer in the control of the adult "others" that Walt has been using (or someone posing as Walt possibly)

[beckham1]

I am wondering how much JJ Abrams is involved in the writting of the show right now (I assume he was very much so in season one, but this may not be a fact so please let me know if he wasn't).  I am just guessing that since he took the Director role for MI3 (which I believe just wrapped filming) I don't see how he could be as in control as before.  I don't know this is just a major guess on my part as I think season 2 has been a little weeker, though it has had opportunities to expand in areas that would have been really interesting.  Maybe they just don't want to give us too much info too fast.

Another rerun last night!!!!!    What was the purpose of another rerun?  I'm sick of reruns!!! 

[savage727]

My thoughts exactly Kelly!!!      The management of this show with constant reruns is taking the life out of it for me.  Either you have a series and run it through uninterrupted the way it should be, or you risk losing an audience.  I know I have "lost" my great enthusiasm for this show the way it has been handled.  Now the Winter Olympics are almost upon us and they are being shown here in the U.S. on NBC for a bit over 2 weeks.  You can bet I will be watching the Olympics and taping "LOST" unless they show more reruns!   

[kbmum]

A lot of shows are in reruns right now.  Isn't there a period of February sweeps coming up?  Maybe the networks are holding back first-run episodes to compete against the Olympics.

[savage727]

I am not aware of any February Sweeps and I do not think it is a good strategy to hold back shows if it was the case.  The Olympics are a huge draw here in the States.  Anyway I am excited about the Olympics as one of our towns sons and a friend is on the U.S. Ski Team - Bode Miller who won 2 Silver Medals in the 2002 Winter Olympics and who was last years World Cup Ski Champion - a first for an American.  He has a shot to win 5 Gold Medals in Alpine Events.  We have "Bode Fever" here in town and the State of New Hampshire!
