I figured I would start a thread for this and see what happens....there seemed to be quite a few viewers on the board for this show the past few weeks.....I like the direction the show is taking so far......episode 3 tonight at 7 central on ABC....

I wondered about that too, but just assumed that it was for medical reasons. How do you make morphine from heroin?

Most likely, though, it is for other reasons. Reasons that we will learn about sometime next season.

Last nights episode didn't really get very far or add much to the main plot. Quite honestly, I don't care about Charlie's past. It seems that Claire and Aaron have taken a back seat on the show. I thought that her original flashback episode with the psychic was one of the better ones. I'm surprised they haven't followed up on it yet.

As far as Locke and the statues go, I think that Locke believes that the statues are on the island for a reason, thus he doesn't want to destroy them. It was also somewhat out of character for Locke to beat down another castaway. He's usually a man of reason.

There were a lot of 'out of character' things about the episode. Ekko's marking of the trees 'because I like them', Charlie trying to burn the camp down and get the baby, Locke beating down on Charlie and Locke saying he would destory the statues only to keep them and change the combination again.

Is this season half over? I was thinking back and realized how much has actually been done this season.

Chiefnj · 01-26-2006, 09:49 AM

I forgot to add, at the end of the episode they didn't say "stay tuned for scenes from next week's episode" they said "on an upcoming Lost..."

Does this mean there is another hiatus for new episodes?

siberian khatru · 01-26-2006, 09:54 AM

Last night: Yawn.

Yet, predictable. The previous ep ended with that thrilling call by Jack to train an army. Which I knew would be resolved sometime around the first manned mission to Mars.

And now it's probably going to be on hold for awhile. Wouldn't it have been better to take a break on the previous note, training an army?

WTF do I watch this show?

The flashbacks every 5 minutes are also getting old.

They have just about "Lost" me as a viewer.

The flashbacks are a core part of the show. You should probably stop watching it if you hate them.

I thought it was good. It wasn't as good as last week's episode, but not every episode can be as good as that one. It is interesting that Locke is acting so different now. For most characters I would say the way he acted towards Charlie throughout the episode with the resultant pummeling would be just about right, but for Locke and his philosophy, it seemed way out of character. That combined with the preview makes me think that Locke is up to something.

Next wednesday is February 1st. It is the day before sweeps start, so they are showing the episode "Numbers" from season one next week, and then back to new episodes the week after.

This show would be easier to follow if they would just do a non-stop season like 24. Taking a week or two off every 2-3 weeks is getting annoying.

Mile High Mania · 01-26-2006, 02:29 PM

The show needs more Sayid (or Sayeed, however you spell it). Locke and Ecko appear to be kindred spirits... I guess there's going to be a showdown between Jack and Sawyer over Kate at some point.

The whole Charlie deal with the baby was boring to me. Looks like the Others capture a person or two in the next real episode.

There's a lot of dragging, but I've invested all this time into it that I'll likely continue to watch it. However, it has lost a lot of it's "wow factor" from last season.

So, now we have the Others with Walt... the french chic, the dude from the race around the world and Michael out and about in the jungle.

We haven't seen much in the way of freaking animals like the shark or polar bear in a while either.

When Charlie had his dream with his mom and Claire as saints, did anyone flash back to the Seinfeld episode with "You've got to see the Bayy-Beee!!!"

Only 9 to go

I don't mind that it's not nonstop action... I like the flashbacks, for the most part, but all the who-likes-who is getting a bit too sitcom for me. I did like Lucia's "you hittin' that?" to go against Hurley/what's her name's tip-toeing.

Any ideas where Hurley remembers Libby from?

She's a psychiatrist, he used to be in a psych ward.

good call - I've always been thinking she was one of the others. She also got really nervous when Hurley asked her where he knew her from

I guess that was the highlight of this weeks episode

every week I wonder whether I should remove this Lost thing from my tivo but for some strange reason I keep going
