Couldn't agree more. Last week's premiere was how you do Lost right. This week's episode is why I'm really losing patience with this show. Sorry, but half of these characters don't warrant anymore flashback episodes. I said going into this season, I'd give it half the year and if the story doesn't start to go somewhere, I'm done with it. I'm not gonna waste my time like I did with Alias. And with Veronica Mars now in the same time slot, Lost really better shape up.
Wait I'm lost......did they show the season premiere followed by a new episode? My DVR stopped taping at 8:00...I thought both episodes would be 7-9. I haven't watched it yet.
I think Lost like The X-Files is sort of a zen exercise. It's not so much about the the destination it's about the journey. The story, of course, makes no sense but just keeps hinting that there is a greater truth to be known and it is our need to discover the truth that keeps us watching. Lost is like life, a lot of frustration in the never realized pursuit of satisfaction. If/when we ever learn the truth it will seem anti-clamatic. I mean can you tell me what the final truth of the X-Files was.
In the flashback I saw last week the doctor was running the stadium stairs and met Desmond.Its hard to imagine that happened 20 years ago but who knows but jack did have hair . The show is great, but the flashbacks are starting to get tiresome and I wish they would chill on those or make them shorter. The "hunters" they showed at the end, I have a feeling they are a key component or they are the survivors of the tail end of the plane. There is a "big picture" to the plot and I have read some good theories here but I am still not sure which one is correct
one of the scenes from next week showed the woman jack had a drink with at the sydney airport being thrown into a pit w/ jin, mike, et al, and saying something about the "flight". seems there are more survivors.
I agree, but what made the ex-files great was they had an overlying drama going on throughout the life of the show but it had little dramas that would get solved in a week or two as well that related to the big picture.
what a freaking awesome show!!!!! so well-acted. the black actor who plays the father of the boy who was kidnapped is just amazing. i'm so impressed by him. his story and his character is the one i find most gripping.
I stopped watching this show when I figured out there will never be any answers, just more questions, this show had potebtial but will ikely keep losing viewers because people don't watch tv to be confused. Can anyone name one question they have answered? didn't think so, show sucks.
i'm assuming there will be some answers...but many questions left unanswered when it all ends...which leaves me to speculate. i love that. very twilight zone-esque. my own imagination is far scarier than anything they could show me.
That dude, Harold Perrineau, has had a damn fine career. He played in "Oz", "Fame", "Matrix" 2&3. He played in Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio. There was this show called "I'll Fly Away" that came on in the early nineties on NBC. It starred Sam Waterson from "Law and Order". He played a prosecuter in a southern town in the late fifties during the Civil Rights Movement. I hadn't seen the show in about 12 years until recently a cable station called TV One started replaying it. Long story short, there was a storyline about Waterson's character's son wrestling team and the coach intergrating it. It was really the only story I remembered from the show and when I saw it recently it was Parrineau. That guy has played in a lot of quality programs and movies.
that's awesome..thanks for the heads up. I haven't seen those shows/movies...but I may now just to check it out. i'm blown away by the acting on that show, and from him in particular.
buddy of mine was head writer for I'll Fly Away. great show, and we all had dinner one night with regina taylor, who played waterson's maid, and was really the emotional center of fly away home.
I really think this is the most impressive aspect of the show. It's not Jack, Locke, and their fellow castaways. It's a true ensemble of (12) three-dimensional characters with depth. Count how many shows in the history of television have that. And I think this show is a wonderful personality test for audiences. I love the number of people who are turned off because they haven't just lifted the veil after a single season. Instant gratification society? Us? Me, I love how they're letting the fans play Encyclopedia Brown. My only misgiving is that I'm positive that at least partly, they're playing the make-it-up-as-they-go game. Not the big picture, but with certain things (the numbers admittedly had no original meaning). Evan
I agree with whoever said that this is an experiment...for the people that have season 1 on dvd, could you go back to the episode about Hugo and him using the numbers to win the lottery. So after he goes to the mental institution, the guy there tells him to go see "Sam Toomey" (sp?) in Australia. When he gets there, Sam's dead, but his wife tells him the story of Sam. Sam used the numbers to win a jelly bean contest, and after that, he had all that bad luck. When the wife is telling Hugo the story, there was more to it...I vaguely remember something about the guy who held the jelly bean contest had been holding it for years, yadda yadda. If I could get the transcript of the convo between the wife and Hugo, I could prove my theory behind the experiment...
How did you miss the Matrix trilogy? Good analogy with the unanswered questions though. Matrix two was gripping with all of the "what ifs?" Then Matrix 3 came out and the answers all sucked.
