Last night on "Lost"

Ok, so here we go again. I think it is my fascination with people and society and everything.

I watch one television show, I have never missed an episode and follow it faithfully. It is of course, LOST. I relly like this show.

In the last few weeks they have started talking like they are in "hell" I am interested if anyone else here watches it.

Oh yeah and if you are going to mock my intelligence for watching it or anything like that there is absolutly no need... I already take the heat in my "real world"

Re: Last night on "Lost"

Ermmmm since you watch so religiously maybe its you thats in Hell... well at least purgatory
The writers dont know where they are going with this so really its a pretty boring experiment.. 10/10 in 'sticking it out against the odds' tho

Note: Why is it in comparative religion?

Re: Last night on "Lost"

Hey TE I said any insulting of the fact that I watch it was not needed. My husband does a fine job of mocking me.

Any who about posting in the wrong place. I posted in the Lounge my chat about Harry Potter and it was moved here so I thought if there was a chance anyone would bite and talk about it with me... we should post here? Right? Yeah... sorry if I was wrong... again...

Leo, I have never seen Hereos. Like I said I only follow Lost "religiously."

Re: Last night on "Lost"

FWIW, Miss Amy, I watched the first couple of seasons, then my antenna went on the fritz and I took that as an excuse to leave the set off (except movies from my all too large collection).

I did watch last week for the first time this season, and I found that it really was a rehash of the same ol' stuff, at least to me. Except I learned Said was shot (I presume mortally). I liked him. But then I liked the two gals that got the bump last season, and the spoiled little rich girl and her brother from the first season.

Anyway, I think the show now is really dragging, which is a shame. Too much drawn over too long, too many cliffhangers with neverending entanglements...it just gets a bit much after a while.

I miss the X-files. While there was a "serial" storyline, at least each episode can be viewed separately and still make sense by itself.

I think the producers of Lost missed that part of the equation. It was certainly fun at the beginning, but now its simply tiring.

My honest opinion anyway. By all means, enjoy what gives you enjoyment!

Re: Last night on "Lost"

I love Lost. I liked that Sawyer strangled Tom Sawyer, he's been getting to PW lately with Freckles. That whole thing with Locke having to carry his father's corpse in a bag over his shoulder was, way, way spooky Freudian.

For what it's worth, Sayid was shot but not mortally. He is one of the reasons I watch the show...

Re: Last night on "Lost"

Hi Amy, I'm a Lost fan. Got Season 1 on DVD for Christmas, viewed it almost every day 'till the end and ran out to get Season 2. I missed the early part of this season, but hear that I did not miss much. Picked it up when they started it again this winter and was disappointed by the first few shows, but it's been pretty good for the past five weeks I think.

Yes, it seems to me like they are doing hell or some kind of purgatory, although I also heard the writers deny that. But really...Lost in Paradise...Paradise Lost...hmmmm.

I think that the head honcho of the Dharma project (or whatever it is the Others are up to), not Ben but the guy who recruited Julia, is like the devil, and they've all sold their souls or are somehow playing this out for their souls.

I think the Jack/John tension is pretty cool, the battle between materialism + compassion vs. supernaturalism + individualism. Love Desmond and his accent. I wish Mr. Ekko hadn't been written out, but I don't miss anyone else from last season all that much. I liked Boone and even his sister. Sayyid is great, and I adore Jin and Sun, so glad Charlie and Hurley are still around. Heck, I like the whole cast. Julia is the only one who annoys me...I just feel like slapping her!

I read that they are going to do 48 more episodes over three seasons, so while I enjoy each episode, I'm not expecting a whole lot in the way of enlightenment by the end of this season.

Re: Last night on "Lost"

I saw Matthew Fox on TV last night. My husband was watching one of the late night shows, oh I can't remember the dudes name.. the guy with the half moon face anywho and they were talking about the 16 episodes that they are going to be doing over three years. That is great, however by then six years will have passed and it will only equal six months on the Island so... Sun will be the longest pregnant lady on TV.

PS Sayid is so my favorite he reminds me of my husband and I love his accent however I like them all.

If it is like a purgatory kids of thing then, that is a bit interesting becuase they have all essentially broken the "commandments" if you think of it in a Christian kind of way.

I don't know... I hope they don't get too crazy although people materializing on the Island is pushing it for me.

Re: Last night on "Lost"

Well, what did you think about last night. It seems to be that creepy, black haired guy is going to be a more central player. The one who gave Sawyer the file. Did they really kill of Locke? That makes sense, I think they really painted his character into a corner. So the others killed off the Dharma Initiative people...

Oh no! Not Locke! He's the one I most identify with!
