Lost will run into problems if they are planning on the current plots lasting longer than three seasons.

To avoid Twin Peaks syndrom they really need to wrap up the current plots and start new plot lines if they get renewed.

But then I thought, how could he hurt poor Sun (even if he didn't mean to hurt her) or endanger her life? It's just so . . . disillusioning! It makes me so mad.


I was under the impression that he just kidnapped her then let her 'escape' from him and she hurt herself by falling.  So, technically, he didn't intend to hurt her, just scare her.

Yeah, that's why I put, in parentheses, "even if he didn't mean to hurt her." 'Cuz I really don't think he wanted to hurt her at all but the fact that he'd even marginally "attack" her is . . . awful.  :(

I don't know the quote, but I read somewhere that the creators realize that this show can't last very long because of how it was set up. I don't how long they are planning, but I know that they know where it's going. They may be trying to add "filler" though to make it last longer. Not sure.

42, Tink, here's something I forgot to write about. A while ago, I read an in-depth article in TV Guide once about how the creators, who were once involved in both Twin Peaks and X-Files were dedicated to -not- making the same mistakes they made with those series. That gives me some confidence that they won't keep recycling plots and that they'll keep a sustained attention to storytelling and character development. (Incidentially, they emphatically denied that the survivors are trapped in "hell" or that they are all dead).

I'm totally glad for that too; and it's true, they said that everything that's happened can be scientifically explained.

Okay, we watched the episode last night (recorded it Wed.) and after watching it, Karen said "I am having a really hard time finding anything to like about these people anymore." I started feeling the same way after the Eco episode.

Everyone's a real stinker. With no sympathy for the characters, why should we continue to watch this show?

Sadly, I have to agree a little. I mean, they keep sabotaging the characters. Sure, we expect them to have done crummy stuff in their past. Yet, in early episodes, we'd see them doing some good things now. But lately all we see is the characters doing stupid or cruel things--oh, with the exception of seeing Hurley and Sayid bonding a little.

Charlie is one of the most confusing, for instance. I'm so ticked by how he'd come so far and now he's becoming a vindictive jerk. >:( BUT maybe this is just a negative phase and we'll have some more sympathetic character plots developing soon...

I think it's time for Sayid to step up and be a hero. He's always been cooler than Jack, anyway.

And so much hotter that it barely even needs to be mentioned.

I agree that Sayid is hunky. But I like clean-cut doctor types too.... ;)

Anyway, I've got my VCR all set for tonight so I can watch the new ep once I get back from my writing class. Plus, I bought some 50% off v-day candy to enjoy with my viewing. hehe. I know, I know, it's rather pathetic. But, hey, I take my fun where I can get it.

Sawyer squished a poor frog with his bare hands! What a sick jerk. He needs to be voted *off* the island--preferably by an absurd accident.  :P

Sayid's litmus test of determing honesty is . . . frightening but creepily compelling. (I really thought his acting, esp. when talking about burying Shannon, was intense and wonderfully done.)

I'm with Sayid: I think the hot air balloon guy is full of hot air. He's a scumbag Other.

And Charlie seems to be the favorite castaway collaborator.

But I've got to know what those symbols were on the countdown clock in the hatch!! Nothing exploded, but how come the clock reset itself even after the time ran out. I'm dying to know what the heck those could mean. Any pictographic interpreters in the house?

So are you saying Sayid is or isn't being a hero by beating up Mr. Hot Air Balloon Man?

Ok, as if mr. Henry Gale wasn't so obviously a cover name (He has the name of Dorothy's uncle? And he flew in a hot air balloon??) tonight he's totally proven it.

He's definitely an Other.  I loved the look on his face when Mr. Eko came in though.  Was tonight enough plot development for you guys?
