Lost

[izabella]

Hmmm.... a sci fi book about religion that's King.... I can't think of a match, and it's not very long...

The Stand? Two groups of survivors, post-apocolypse, one group is a threat to the other, battle of good and evil...

 

[lonelyinsnowlan]

That's what I said while watching it. That while it seemed like it could have gone that way, I'd be very surprised if the show took it in that direction.




As for the Stephen King book - SK is suppose to be a big Lost fan and has written a few articles in his column in Entertainment Weekly. And the book was Carrie, you can see just enough of it - under her arm - to tell.

Ah, thank you. Would probably fit best with the time that they have been away from civilization as well.

okay, after browsing around online I came across these screen caps of the Other village place.

Geez, look how big that island is and notice the smoke from the two sections of the planes off in the distance.
(the first picture reminded me of something you'd see in Sims. heh)


Few things I thought was interesting from tonights season premiere.

The Hydra station

Not just that they separated the three (that was expected) but how they did. The surroundings. Jack is in a former shark tank, Kate was asked to shower, put on a clean dress and "treated" to breakfast and poor Sawyer was kept outside without offer for food and drink (unlike the other two) and had to figure out how to win what looked like dog food.

The story between Henry (or should I say, Ben) and Juliet. The comment he made about being out of the book club, his apparent unconcern of Jacks threat to kill her (and her reaction) and the fact that when Jack turned that wheel, he took off and seemingly left her to die.

Those houses! The fact that they all have electricity there, so far away from the ocean in a sort of valley.

The file she had on Jack, including rather up to date stuff like his fathers autopsy. They're getting their stuff someway, from someone somewhere, also including the food drops.

The intercom button that Jack pushed that sort of sounded like his father saying, "Let it go".

Jack tries to escape and suddenly water comes in so he thinks he's underwater, but is he really? Sawyer's "jail" buddy who conviently picks both his and Sawyers locks, telling him which way to run - and both recaptured. Is it all just to try and dissuade them from attempting to run by hoping to convince them that it's impossible.

The thing that I love about this show is what others really hate. They don't answer so many of the questions but give you new ones to ask.



Something that doesn't have anything to do with the show, but I noticed Jack had stars tattoed on the inside of his arm. Where they there last season?

I couldn't figure out if they were stars or not... I don't remember them from before.

It was driving me crazy.
So crazy that I had to google for the pilot screencaps since I knew he had to take off his shirt when Kate stitched him up.

Stars

He must not have his shirt off very often, or at least raises that arm up.

 

[BBWetKitty]

This show gives me chills in a good way. I missed the shuddering, suspenseful cello music.

Bottled water. Electricity. A zoo. Whales?! Sawyer's fish biscuit would have made me yak.

 

[lightning1]

Good show. Too many f'ing commercials. And what am I missing by JUST watching the show? I don't have time to go to ABC.com or AMEX.

I'm most curious about Desmond and his fiance' and those two guys in that igloo.

 

[Cheyenne]

I was wondering the same thing. I like the show, but not enough to spend more time on it than the hour that it is on tv each week.

 

[The Mutt]

Yeah, this is really pissing me off. It was bad enough when I felt like I was missing something by not searching the internet for clues. When they said I should buy a tie-in book, I was a little miffed.

But now they want me to get an AMEX card so I can get exclusive content? Well, fuck you too. If this was a show I was only mildly interested in, that would cause me to boycott right there and then.

But I'm hooked, dammit!

 

[Batch]

I would hope by now that the left coasters would know enough not to open this thread before they see the show.


That said, I have to admit that it wasn't what I expected from the first show. Not that I think it wasn't good just not what I thought.

I waited till this morning, but it was really difficult.

 

[Morcheeba]

Whoa Nelly! It looks to be another fabulous 'Lost' season!

 

[huskie]

I was NOT impressed...... I think the Iraqi could have made the guy talk months ago....if this where some what for real.

 

[cykeegb]

Great season premiere.

But it's not, it's LOST you nitwit.

Yeah, cykee, it was a great season premiere.

 

[izabella]

I loved it, but dammit, I want more answers!

I've never been one for delayed gratification.

 

[cykeegb]

By the way, if anyone is confused by the lost experience game, I can explain it fairly simply.

I love to talk Lost, but I don't watch previews for the next episode and don't discuss spoilers....merely warning you.

You don't even watch the previews????? That's way more self-discipline than I have...

 

[The Mutt]

I don't watch them anymore. They give away too much and reveal too many shocking moments. I already knew what was behind the big suspenseful door because I saw a commercial.

Sure, but I don't think knowing what was behind the door gave away too much. It didn't explain why or what the chamber they were in was.

 

[JinXed]

I really hope that Sawyer is never killed off.

Yay! Hurley is on next week!

 

[Problem Child]

[sawyer]

Me neither, shortcake.

we need more scruffy sawyer tongue kissing. yes we do. why couldn't he have been the one in the shower? our god is a cruel one.

 

[JinXed]

[sawyer]

Me neither, shortcake.

[/sawyer]

How did you know I was jealous that no one has ever called me shortcake before?

 

[Problem Child]

[sawyer]

I'll call you shortcake anytime, shortcake. You can call me James.

[/sawyer]


Honey, they'll never kill off sawyer. Apparently he is both knife and bullet proof.

 

[Imhotep]

I'm just looking forward to the day when the others get their asses kicked. I'm tired of seeing our heroes losing all the time.
