OMG. Lost is absolutely the best show on tv right now.

[darkchrono]

Miriel that maybe,

But I think for alot of people the thought of watching a show where everybody is stranded on a deserted island is alot more intriguing (sp) than a show with the setting of Alias seems.


Also, let's get some different opinions on what you think is actually happening on the Lost island. I have heard alot of my friends when we talk about it think that everybody on the show actually died in the plane crash and they are in kind of a purgatory now. Or they got blown into some sort of time warp or something.

What would you guess is actually going on on the island.

[Miriel]

The writers have said a couple times that the survivors are not in some sort of purgatory. And I really do think that the Purgatory theory is a little too...safe and predictable.

I haven't watched tonight's episode yet, but I'm pretty sure that during last weeks show when (SPOILER)Boone was on the radio before the plane crashed down, that the person on the other end said, "No, we're the survivors of Oceanic flight 815."

I haven't a friggen clue what it means.

Does that mean that there are other survivors? Maybe Rose's husband?

Maybe it's group hysteria, or maybe a government experiment. Or maybe this is all in Charlie's head after he got too high. Who knows. I'd rather not over-analyze and try and figure the whole thing out.

Half the fun is in the mystery.

Alias used to be one of my favorite show, but lately, the writes have been, "Let's bring people back from the dead/no where"

Lost is my favorite.

Andromada was cool, but then they were all like "Let's make no sense with time travel!"

[Del Murder]

I prefer 24.

[Calliope]

OH MY GOD THE GUY FROM LOST IS THE PARTY OF FIVE GUY!

[edczxcvbnm]

24 beats the living <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> out of this show. I tried so hard to get into it but it was just too boring and it went no where at all. If this goes a second season then there is some really poor writing going on to not be able to wrap this up with a max of 26 1 hour episodes. Unless more people get "lost" on the island and then it is a sad attempt to extend the show.

[Miriel]

I just watched tonight's show.

I cried. ;_;

I didn't even like the character, and I still couldn't hold back the tears. Rest in peace (SPOILER)Boone, you had pretty eyes.

And 24, above all things, is an action show. Lost on the other hand is primarily a character study. It's silly to compare the two.

[darkchrono]

Yeah, I had heard that one of the guy characters was going to die. I never guessed him because he never was a central character. But looking back on it it would have made sense for the writers to do that to him because he was the one who received the least development of any characters on the show and didn't really hold any plot points of his own to carry on to future episodes.

Will be interesting to see what comes of Locke now. Do you think he is a good guy or a bad guy after watching this episode.

[Leeza]

I think Locke is a good guy. Tonight's episode was too intense and I never expected it to end like this. It's sad.

24 is good. I never miss it, but like Miriel said, you just can't compare the 24 to Lost. Two totally different things.

[Miriel]

Jack's make-shift island doctoring is way too hard to watch. The stabbing and the blood dripping and the leg chopping...yikes.

I knew Mr. Pretty Eyes was going to die, so I was surprised that I actually cried. But Blondie breaking down and sobbing in front of Pretty Eye's poor dead body did it for me, that kind of stuff cuts my heart right open.

Locke in two words or less: freakin' psycho.

That man has gone off his rocker with the whole "THE ISLAND WILL SHOW ME!" thing.

I bet you Locke's going to kidnap the evil baby of Doom and teach it the ways of the island. Then they'll join forces with Crazy French Lady and and Tom Cruise's cousin and launch an attack on the Survivors. During the battle, Freckles will be taken away and brutually murdered at the claws of a Polar Bear and the world will rejoice.

Kate is painfully boring. She needs to die soon.

Much love for Sun and Hurley though. <3

I tried so hard to get into it but it was just too boring and it went no where at all. If this goes a second season then there is some really poor writing going on to not be able to wrap this up with a max of 26 1 hour episodes.

Now this really isn't true. A recap:
(SPOILER)Plane crashes, bunch of people die, some of them survive. Locke wiggles his big toe ala The Bride in Kill Bill and goes from being paralyzed to Hunter extraordinaire. There are polar bears and a Lostzilla romping through the jungle, as well as a crazy french lady who killed all her companions 16 years ago and has become...well ya know, crazy.

The little kid has weird "powers" and can make things happen by thinking about it. Turns out that Sun can speak English and she and Jin have a semi-divorce. Some poor extra named Joanna drowned, Charlie turns out to be a drug-addict, and Sayid gets tortured by the French Lady. Turns out they aren't alone on the island and Claire and Charlie get kidnapped by Ethan (Tom Cruise's evil cousin). Charlie is lynched, Ethan killed Scott, Claire is taken hostage, disappears for awhile and then reappeared with amnesia. Sawyer is taunted by a boar, Hurley built a golf course, and Kate sighs and looks off to the distance in a skimpy outfit. Shannon and Sayid get freaky, but before that Shannon and Boone have a semi-incestuous relationship and then Boone turns to Locke cause no one else can stand him, his eyes are too pretty. Charlie shoots Ethan 2 dozen times or so, Locke finds an alien hatch and then Boone dies just as Claire's demon child is born. In the meantime, nobody appears to be looking for them, and the raft got torched.
And that's all in the span of one month, I'd definitely say that the show was going somewhere. It works a lot like 24, every episode is only a day or two on the island. It isn't poor writing that's keeping them from wrapping up, it's excellent writing that keeps the show going.

I've said it a million times, Lost is the best thing on TV. The episode last night = gold.

Maybe it got better but all the episodes I watched in the beginning were about the people and their pasts...then someone dies. Not a whole lot happened and it was boring the <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> out of me. I still say this is a show that should have stayed a mini-series.

[darkchrono]

Edczxcvbnm,
maybe you just are not a big fan of the slower paced character driven type of shows. Maybe you enjoy action more. But in anycase, just because it goes against what you enjoy doesn't mean the show sucks. And it seems quite a few people around the world have taken quite a liking to it.

[Leeza]

He didn't say that Lost sucks. He just says that it's too boring for him, but that's his loss.
