i forgot we have a whole category for this now-craptastic show.
what did you think?

stuff is happening -- I'm not sure what you're complaining about. We got to see Zeke, and he was threatening! Last week we saw the smoke monster! One revelation/week seems like a pretty good pace to me.
i did really like the idea of an army proposed at th end. in fact i had a really disturbing dream last night about jack and ana lucia building a child army through weird psychological training. it was creepy.
I think the writers should be banned from having any more scenes that are replays of:
Character 1: I'm going in the woods after him!
Character 2: I'm going with you!
Character 3: Me too!
Character 1: No, you can't come.
Character 3: Why not? I deserve to come!
Character 1: No, you have to stay here.
Character 3: But Character 1, that's not fair!
And while we're at it, another ban on scenes of the sort:
Character A: I want a gun!
Character B: No, you can't have a gun!
Character A: Pretty please!
Character B: I'm not giving one to you!
Character A: Whiiiiiine!
Character B: Fine. Here.
the ~40 minutes per episode is way too short. I'm sure once the 2nd season comes out on DVD, it will be much better when able to view them back to back; sans commercials. That's how I first viewed season 1 and it was great.
I thought last nights episode was good, although the breakup with Jack and his wife was a little anti-climatic. It almost seemed like they were trying to fit too much in to one episode.
I would have pissed my pants when the rest of the Others lit their torches around me.
Believe it or not, I'm thinking of telling my Tivo NOT to record Lost anymore. I'm getting tired of not having any resolution. I feel like I'm being teased. And men don't like being teased. There are too many stories and too many secrets. And from the looks of the last episode, I think there's going to be a little bit of "Lord of the Flies" action. Of course, this could also be compared to "No Escape" with Ray Liotta where there are the good people and the bad people... but then again the "others" said they were taking the good people away. And we already know everybody has a story that is rather dark including Jack, Ana Lucia, Hurley, Eko, and the hobbit guy. I feel Lost is lost.
Anyone expecting legimate closure with Lost is bound to be disappointed. It's gotten to the point where any mundane explanation for the most bizarre things on the show would be a letdown and, anyways, J.J. Abrams' epistemology is even less coherent than Chris Carter's. But I don't care a whit so long as they keep telling good stories.
well, i think the stories kind of suck this season, so i don't even have that to go on. did anyone find jack's story this week at all compelling? the best part was at the beginning when they spoke italian and i understood it. the rest of it, meh. i could have given two craps when a) the old dude died and b) jack's wife left him.
I liked the way Flashback Jack was played off of the island storyline: More of Dr. Jack struggling to be master of his domain (so to speak), while he continues to grow almost imperceptibly more pathetic as the series wears on.
And I love that the parallel love triangles, cutting in opposite directions, somehow managed to find Jack on the losing end both times. He seemingly has his pick between Julie Bowen and a hot, hot Italian (uh, Julie Bowen hands down), and winds up with neither. Oh, the pathos of life as the perfect man!
(No one was supposed to care when the old man kicked it. That was just a narrative excuse for the make out scene with Gabriella.)
As mentioned above, while Jack compensates for his emasculation by scaring up a militia, it looks Hurley may be rocking a little "desert island scenario" with Libby to the booty-rocking grooves of Geronimo Jackson.
Zeke looked very, very not scary. I am not scared by a hillbilly with a beard and a spooky gang of torchbearing dirty people. I am scared by Danish scientists and zombies and polar bears and Ethan Rom.

becks, that is the best idea i've had in ages. in fact, i think we should ban all scenes of anyone going in the woods after anyone anymore EVER AGAIN.

Clearly, you folks are missing the most exciting part about this episode ... the set-up to see Hurley get it on with a special lady friend.
i AM looking forward to that, sommer. hurley deserves some love.

Dude!
Zeke looked very, very not scary. I am not scared by a hillbilly with a beard and a spooky gang of torchbearing dirty people. I am scared by Danish scientists and zombies and polar bears and Ethan Rom.
So, i'm a little frustrated.
Anyhoo,s I demand more weirdness.
