I has to end some time and I'm sure JJ will make sure we're given a satisfying ending.
Another great ep last night.

Augh! Where are all you Lost people when I need you? I wishe I had people here to watch it with and commiserate. Perhaps commiserate isn't the right word, but you get my drift. I've been watching season 1 on DVD and finally filling in the gaps. I actually saw a lot more of it than I realized, but it never made sense because I missed the backstories of people in the first half of the season. Now it makes so much more sense!

I just finished the last ep of season 1, and MAN! When they got down to the fire and Rousseau said she heard that they were coming for the boy.... I KNEW they meant Walt. This thing has kept me up late the last few days. I just couldn't stop. Should've used the middle-to-middle method so I could stop.

Middle to middle method. I would never have thought of that.  We did our own lost-athons so I could catch up before last Wed when the new episode aired, and we had to download all the second season episodes too.

I REALLY like this show, too.  I'm glad I'll have another literature student to discuss it with.  About midway through first season when I was really hating on Sawyer and we found out why he hates himself so much I was all "If he pulls a Sidney Carton, I'm SO going to freak out." and no one knew what I was talking about. Le sigh.

Even being a literature person, I'm afraid I don't know who Sidney Carton is. :-[ :-/But I agree about the characterization of Sawyer. I loved how Michael figured it out in the last episode--"why do you want to die?"

Well, I spelled his name wrong, it's Sydney. Whatever.  He's a character in Tale of Two Cities.  He's kind of scum, but in the end he redeems himself by ... um, can I spoil a Dickens novel?

Aha! Well, it's been since high school since I've read Tale of Two Cities, but I know what you're referencing now that you name the book. It's just been too long for me to remember that particular character's name. I didn't fear that Sawyer would do that, but now that I'm watching Season 2 (I couldn't wait for DVD--I love Itunes!), it's getting more intruiging. What the heck? The tail section people are the Others? I'm on ep. 4 (Everybody Hates Hugo) and more puzzled than ever.

Yay!  They finally showed us the monster!  And even though we know nothing more about it, I'm happy that they didn't pull another "focus on the actor's stunned face and then fade to commercial" scene.  It's so nice to know that those wisps of smoke are the monster.

When you get to the ep "The other 48 Days" or whatever it is it will explain a LOT.

I too am relieved that they have finally given a clear shot of the monster, yet it still leaves so many questions.

Personally, I'm starting to think they are all dead and in Limbo. I know that has been suggested before, but it seems to fit.

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised they gave us such a clear view (from inside and out) of the monster thing. Of course, that doesn't give us any hints as to what it actually IS, but yeah, I'm glad too. :)

I wonder why Eko wasn't afraid. I think it's because he's ready to die because he now knows for sure what happened to his brother and is ready to meet his maker.

Both Echo and Locke were able to face the monster head-on and live to tell about it.  (Though Locke chose not to mention it to anyone)  I wonder if any of the characters can do that, so long as they don't act afraid.  Can this thing sense fear?  Or does it just not like to kill people who don't run from it?

last nights episode was good.  We got to see the others, and we found out a little more about jack.  I would love to see more of hurly though in season 2.  he is so funny.  Also I am rooting for him with the love interest. HUR-LY, HUR-LY, HUR-LY.
everything was going fine, until i critically failed my intelligence check!

Ditto on Hurley and Libby.  And Kate and Sawyer have simply GOT to be together.
