Lost *Spoiled*
« on: September 23, 2004, 09:30:04 AM »
So I watched this last night. And it actually wasn't that bad, at first. And then Towards the end of the show they had some kind of large animal or something knocking down trees and such. Then some of them went to find the pilot and see if they could send a signal, found the pilot alive, he ends up being man-slaughtered by the thing and they run away.

So it seems to me that it's just digressing into some kind of Jurassic Park or Lost World crap. But hopefully we'll see what it's really all about next week.

I thought it was great. Had some very intense moments for a tv show. It will be interesting to see what develops. By the very nature of the show the majotiry of it has to be character driven and with 48 survivors, an unknown thing(s) lurking in the jungle and a mysterious dog there should be plenty of stories to tell.

What are your thoughts on the rocker-guy? In the flashback it seemed the attendents were chasing him down the aisle. Then when they got to the cockpit later he was in the bathroom, maybe not heading nature's call. Does he have a thing for airplane bathrooms?

you know, fi you hadn't put the name of a TV show in the subject line, I'd be convinced you were just doing a Gemm thing.

I found this just flipping through channels, and not even knowing what it was, it intrigued me from the first moments. I don't think they need the big monster thing. I am also wondering what's up with Merry/rocker guy. Maybe he's a spy that blew up the plane. Maybe he has a thing for feeling safe in enclosed places.

At any rate, it was intriguing enough to make me forget I had resolved to turn off the TV and do my homework. Now I'm making up for that today.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I found it really intriguing and all that. I just found the whole monster lurking in the unknown kind of silly.

I wasn't able to catch the very beginning. I missed maybe the first 10 minutes. But it wasn't too bad.

I'm also interested to see in coming shows more of what happened on the plane. I have a feeling it may become one of those things where they have to hide the backstory from you at first so as not to give everything away.

Whoa.

Episode 4 was VERY INTERESTING. The Locke character they focused on today was one of the most conflicted and fascinating characters I've seen on television.

When that dude was picking on him at work, my roommate was saying "why would the dude at work be picking on a guy who looks as scary as that?" And then we finally saw that he had been in a wheelchair the whole time, and I said "NOW we know why that guy was picking on him!"

That was a real WOW moment. This dude was built up to be spooky and scary, to be crazy and delusional, and now I have no idea what to think. Here's a guy who for one reason or another was in a wheelchair for 4 years, and then all of a sudden stands up and walks...is this supposed to be inspirational? Was his previous condition purely psychological?

And what's the monster? Why isn't he saying anything?

Arrgh.

I saw the first episode of this and have missed every single episode since then. One of these days I'll think to set the VCR to tape it, but so far that hasn't happened.  :-/

I missed last nights. Was printing some stuff off for a paper. But I do like the show. It seems I'm able to catch every other episode. Saw one, missed two. Saw three, missed four... yeah.

There are some good bit torrent websites where you can download missed episodes from. Not sure if I'm supposed to talk about stuff like that here so PM me for more info.

It's a rare moment that a tv show makes my jaw drop and this week's episode sure was one of those times. Just...wow. Did Locke kill the monster? Did it give him the boar? And what's up with the mysterious guy in the suit?
I really hope that if this show is ever cancelled that they can wrap it up nicely. Definately my favorite new show this year...not that there's much to choose from.

ABC has ordered a full seasons-worth of episodes so I'm a happy camper.
We were saying at the start of last night's why are they getting the Doc? Can't anyone else do anything? Then we get a whole episode exploring the leader thing.
And then there were 46...
