LOST - Season Three, second half (might contain spoliers)

jedijeff · March 22, 2007, 09:28:16 PM

For the most part I liked last nights episode. I guess finally finding out Locke got in the wheel chair was nice, but I guess a bit predictable that it would be his father who would be the one to hurt him. I guess the others are real good at finding people, as they located Lockes father, when the police could not. I wonder if Ben is going to give Locke the chance to kill his father, as I suspect that is why he has been brought to the island, to test locke and see if he would.

I agree with Kenny and Elizur, that I enjoy the ride. I like the whole premise of the show, so at the end, if it turns out to be a monkey in charge, that would be fine by me.

Jeff - that's it! A monkey is in charge of the island! You have figured it all out! It's as good an answer as I have heard. ;)

It's actually two monkeys. One to direct all the happenings for the crew of Lost and the other to make sure the guys and gals from Survivor don't wander on to the set.

Thanks Guys, if it comes true, then I will consider quitting my job and getting a job writing Television. As I recall, the old Prisoner TV show, number one was a chimp, so who says a monkey cant be in charge on the lost island ;)

I just read on E Online that it's rumored that Lost season four won't start till Jan and run the entire season in one chunk. I think this is a great idea.. let's hope it's more then just a rumor.

Yeah, according to the producers Lost will do the same thing 24 does. Start in January, and run non-stop to the end of the season.

That means when this season ends, I won't have Lost or Battlestar Galactica until Jan. 2008!!!

I know.. thank goodness for Heores.

The Jan - May model is much better than having a big hiatus for months. Now I just wish some shows would do like Sept. - Feb., and some Jan. - May.

What did everyone think of last night's Lost... I really enjoyed it. I'm not a huge fan of Niki and Pablo but I liked the way it was written. It was very cool to see Shannon, Boone, Mr. Antz and the crash scene. And the ending was a shocker.. I knew they were going to wake up when they started putting dirt on them.. but I didn't expect them to be buried alive...

JoSpiv · March 29, 2007, 01:24:02 PM

I enjoyed it too. I wasn't a fan of them either, but that was mostly the fault of the writers. They had yet to really say, or do anything interesting.

This episode didn't reveal why they are so important, but it was a well written episode, filled with twists.

I too was excited to see our dead friends, and I really want to know how much of those flashback scene were reshot, and which others greenscreens. I mean crash scene looked perfect, and if I didn't know better I'd say they filmed it the same day as the pilot.

As for that end, it didn't help my arachnaphobia :), but other than that it was a great twist. The moment she took out that spider I was like, "oh no, they're going to bury them alive!!" But when she opened her eyes, it really was very creepy.

I also want to say that Locke was in pure season one mode, it's amazing how the writers and actors can go back to how they were back then without skipping a beat.

A different and interesting episode. I'm just wondering how important it all was to the overall storyline? Seems like a lot of back story and time to show a pair of people that end up dead at the end of this episode.

Geekyfanboy · March 29, 2007, 03:25:28 PM

Well they are not really dead.. at least not yet.. they're still alive.. just buried.

JoSpiv · March 29, 2007, 04:47:42 PM

Well they're gonan suffocate pretty fast. You can't survive with dirt piled on top of you like that for very long. It's not like Kill Bill where she was in a coffin. There's some air in a coffin, not much but some. Nikki and Paulo have a couple minutes of air at the very most, and they didn't look like they were about to have the strength to climb out.

However, stranger things have happened on Lost, and I wouldn't be surpirsed if we see them in some way in the future.

Rico · March 29, 2007, 05:36:00 PM

I'm pretty sure they are dead.

jedijeff · March 29, 2007, 05:42:04 PM

I thought this was a real cool epsiode. I did not care for Niki or Paulo as well, and I was very happy with this epsiode. I suspect this was their destiny all along. I had always found the the whole thing with Paulo going to the bathroom in the pearl station as rather odd, now I know the reason. I found it interesting to see what some of the other members were doing besides the main cast, and found it amusing that they came across the plane and pearl station well before any of the others did, but did not care as more interested in looking for their diamonds. This felt almost like a real good stand alone episode, and a real good beach story.
