LOST (SEASON TWO SPOILERS)

Post by FizbansTalking_Hat »

For those that misseed the past two weeks broadcast of the pilot episodes part 1 and 2, CBS will be replaying them tonight at 8pm est, 9pm central, so check it out.

I am a huge fan of this show already, its being written by J.J. Abrams, same guy that writes for Alias, so if you're a fan of that series, you're most likely going to enjoy this one, the characters are interesting the action and plot are fast paced full of surprises and twists, enjoy.

I agree. The next 2 episodes have been awesome as well. I have no idea where they are going with this show.

The Trigens will get them.


I'd be really surprised if this isn't a mad-scientist plot. Company X has been experiementing with genetics and made some terrible creatures out of apes n such. Then later in the season or in season 2 they'll experiment on humans.


I watch it. It's interesting. Plus there's some nice "scenery" on the show.

I haven't missed an episode of LOST yet. Don't know what drew me to the show exactly but after watching the first episode I was hooked. There is certainly something very odd and interesting going on. Time/space displacement? Alternate universe? Mad scientist island?(Zeph) The exploration of the characters so far has been very entertaining and very little of the survivors predicment has been revealed thus far.
I'm watching. :D

I'm starting to get the impression it's like a Fantasy Island kinda thing where you have to face your biggest challenges. If you face them well, you grow and survive, if you don't you die.

Jack last night with conquering the whole abusive dad and feeling like a loser incapable of leading, Locke being able to do his Survival retreat and looking square in the eye of the "Whatever it is", Charlie will be going through withdrawl symptoms pretty soon since his baggie was looking like it was running pretty low last week, The black having to be a father to son after all these years, and the kid's mother just dying about a week before the plane crash. All of these are major challenges for the characters.

What is up with the bald guy? Is he omniscient or what? Was he actuallly part of the passenger list or did he just appear after the crash or do we know anything? The Island is certainly odd--and like Tom said it's, like, absolve your darkest issues or die...How did they survive the crash, anyway, if the Scientific guy says it was physically impossible? :?

Let's be clear from the outset Ilike this series so far. And except for Daniel Dae Kim, Dominic Monaghan and TERRY o'Quinn I do not know any of the cast, and David Fury is a writer (all good things). But does this strike anyone else as sorta thin continuing plot wise? IOW, after one finds the true nature of their marooned status (alt. universe, secret government island, really extraordinarily weird RL, etc) what can come next? Just my $0.02.

Tara's Wizard, I believe that's the biggest reason that each episode has only encompassed about 1 day, to stretch out that part of the plot as long as possible.

You may actually be familiar with a couple more actors, and just don't recognize them. The Dr., played by Mathew Fox, played the older brother on Party of Five, and Emilie Di Ravin, who is playing the Pregnant girl was Tess in Roswell.

In Episode 9 (this week's episode was episode 7), Mira Furlan, who played Delenn on Babylon 5, will be playing the "French Woman" from the transmission of 17 years ago.

I wish I hadn't read your spoiler, sindatur. :-) I suspected that the mystery of the distress signal would eventually be revealed but I hadn't expected what your spoiler suggests. I'll be more carefull next time. :D Last night was another very entertaining episode.

Sorry, 'bout that, it is in a spoiler box though :P

I did, however change the word "Minor", to "Upcoming", so it doesn't look quite as harmless.

Personally I thought it was minor, but, I could be wrong.

I didn't get to see last night's episode yet, it's postponed until Saturday due to a game. But, on the lighter side, that means we'll get 2 episodes in 5 days time, rather than 8 days.

They should put LOST on every night, like a soap opera. I love it.

Lost is great! :D I wanted to watch it from the start, but was so busy with Frankenstein at the time that I wasn't able to catch it. So over the weekend we fired up the ol' bit torrent and caught up. ( :offtopic: Do you guys have any idea how great it was to spend an entire weekend doing nothing but watching tv and rattling around the house?? Our weekends are usually busy anyway, but with everything that's been going on lately......it was wonderful! :chill: :Z: :D :D ) It's full of intruiging and mysterious goodies.......and invisible monsters! I want more invisible tree stomping giant monsters!! So I think from here on in, we'll be watching every week. I can't wait to see what happens with that thing that happened in the last episode.....
;)


*Just by the by, I'm all excited about January......With Lost resuming on the 5th (I think), and new seasons of Carnivale and Deadwood coming up. It almost takes the sting out of the loss of Angel.

Almost.
:(

I just got into this series a couple of weeks back when they re-ran the first episode. So far, I'm highly impressed.

It's going to be great on DVD. The arc is so deep, you are left wanting more than 1 episode at a time, so with the DVD set, you'll really be able to appreciate the arc.

I missed a bunch of the episodes but have been able to put the story together a little bit. I will have to get it on DVD when it comes out. Does anybody know when it is supposed to be out?

Summer, end of I believe. Season 1 ends in May. Tonight's a new episode, picking up on Claire returning to the camp.
