clupet 25-09-2005 23:02

Re: The "Lost" (TV series) discussion thread
 
yes! it was a great series opener, the story takes so many twists and turns you just have no idea where its going, unlike CSI where the guest "famous" or "ive seen that person before" person in that episode is the killer!

Back to lost..i hope it keeps up the excellent suspense and mystery aura it has so far

Post whatever you like, but put it in spoiler tags if you do. ;)

I see what some people have been saying about red herrings now. Last night's episode neatly capped off the mystery of the French distress signal. However I see one of two possible explanations for this:

1. The writers have clearly mapped out where they are going over the next two or three years and are enjoying messing with our minds.

2. The writers are making it up as they go along (a la Twin Peaks and The X Files) and any mind-messing is entirely accidental and not due to any skill on their part.

In the case of the latter (which, sadly, I expect to be the more likely), Lost could become supremely irritating long before the end of the second series.

There is a 2 week break. The next episode will be on the 9th November.

http://epguides.com/lost/

...but there are 2 titles shown for the following week (16th Nov.) Looks like a double bill.

I think there will also be a long break over the xmas period. Someone mentioned 5 - 6 weeks. :td:

Sorry my mistake, yeah it should be 9th Nov not 19th.

Also doesn't look like a double bill on this site.

The site I linked to has now altered the listings to show "Bad Habits" as being on the 23rd. Previously it had no date next to it, so I was assuming it was the second episode of a double bill on the 16th.

Apparently the numbers have been referenced elsewhere (speedometers, house numbers etc). Anyone seen any ?

Also, the guy who Jack let die in surgery in episode 1 was named Rutherford. Apparently thats the same surname of Shannon's dad (she must have mentioned it - although I missed it). Maybe these people's lives are all entwined in some way.

Well I caught up with S2 while over in the US. Is Ana the most annoying thing.

Also as a control someone inputting the information. It must have failed in the last 30 years, and surely those tapes on the tape drives have worn out?

Couldn't someone just write a CRON job?

And it has been weeks since it last aired. New one this week though.

What a clever series, if you thought there were a lot of cross references & connections then think again!!! :disturbd:

If you want to potentially spoil it for yourself, then take a look here

That link is basically the Lost version of Wikipedia (online Encylopedia), that gives lots of information about the last 2 episodes (plus lots of connections & theories about everything else!)

Very clever series, & one that deserves a lot of credit IMO. :tu:

I can't see Locke & Eko surviving that. But yes, more questions than answers, like what does Desmond's g/f have to do with it.
I think three were chosen as they are the main ring leaders - might persuade the rest to steer clear of the 'others'.

Chris 28-09-2006 16:31

Re: The "Lost" (TV) thread - SEASON TWO (SPOILERS)
 
I think I heard that this series is written along the same lines as the X Files and Twin Peaks ... i.e. they're making it up as they go along, not working to a predetermined story arc. They left it the way they did as it gives them maximum options for taking the story in various directions next series.

I'm a bit tired of it to be honest. I got bored with the snail's pace the story has unfolded at, and read up on how it ended on Wikipedia. I'll probably watch the next series if I'm in and there's nothing better on.

Russ 28-09-2006 17:14

Re: The "Lost" (TV) thread - SEASON TWO (SPOILERS)
 
I reckon the second series was MUCH better than the first - and that was brilliant! The cliffhanger in S2 was mind-blowing, I was intrigued by what 'Henry Gale' said to Michael, "Once you get to those co-ordinates you'll never find your way back" as if the island is somehow 'hidden' from the rest of the world. My guess is Michael and Walt won't take the boat to where they were told to - they'll pop up unexpectedly in S3.

Why are the Others pretending to be third-world villager types? What will happen to Eko and Locke? How did Desmond's wife know what to look out for? So many questions and I can't wait!

Hopefully none of my mates who have a "cousin in America" will spoil it for me....

Yes. A season finale which consisted of the Others taking passengers hostage - something they have done before; With Michael pursuing his own agenda at the expense of his 'friends' - something he has done before; with various characters witholding information from each other for no good reason - something they have all done before, and increasingly unlikely to be in any way realistic behaviour after the things they've gone through together; and to cap it all, the absolute last frame of the film, the cliffhanger itself, rests not on something seeded throughout any of the previous episodes, but on a character only introduced in a flashback in the final episode. It was hardly a big revelation, was it?

Only this time it came to an apparent conclusion.

I think the basis for the series is to be 'secretive' and 'mysterious' - that fits in with it.

Why? Which of the central characters can honestly say they are friends with each other?

So the writers chose this way to introduce a new character - nothing wrong with that! And what a way to introduce her!

Er, yes it was! We now finally see that someone in the outside world seems to be looking for them! It's unlikely it will lead to them being found but it puts paid to some of the theories of the show ie that they're all dead, that it's just a dream etc

And realising that no-one is going to explain anything ... but watching and hoping anyway ... which is the general idea of course. :p:

I'm sure the writers/producers will find some convenient way for them to have survived it.


Locke & Eko are IMO two of the most interesting, & coolest, characters, & I doubt that the makers would get rid of them. Kate is dull, & Jack is even more dull. The only other character I think is particularly interesting is Sawyer.

LOL, yeah.

I really got quite bored with Lost during season 2, but persevered anyway in the naive & mistaken hope that they would actually resolve some of the many unresolved points.

I will still watch season 3, but if it doesn't get better then I'll be quite happy to ditch it. There's plenty of other quality US shows out there for me to follow, like Prison Break, Stargate, & BSG.

I used to be a huge fan of The X Files, but gave up on it around season 5 due to the increasingly convoluted conspiracy arc.

I too think that Locke will survive. He is a very popular charactar and it would be very annoying if they killed him off.

The have 7 seasons mapped out and are filling in the minor plot details. It will conclude in the 7th series if it gets that far. Lets hope it goes on unlike the excelent Invasion that got binned after 1 season.

I sure hope they have a lot in mind to keep it interesting then as if not viewing figures will drop season by season.
I want an ending and I want it soon. I don't want to find it out in some 5 years time.

I like this show, but you're right. It has to be ended very soon. Otherwise it would be just like any other series without any unique plot or quality...

Too right. Considering we've just waded through 24 hours worth of telly, exactly how much more information do we have about the whole scenario? I think root canal dentistry would be preferable to sitting through another five whole seasons of this, to find out how it ends.

Handyman's suggestion that they do actually have a seven-year story arc mapped out is all the more worrying, because if they have the arc but are filling in the gaps season by season, it means that most of the nitty gritty bits and pieces that we see each week are likely to have little or no consequence when all's said and done.

They are stringing it out much too far for my liking - take the constant flashbacks for example. That worked nicely in the first series as a way of introducing the characters, but now we know who they all are, the flashbacks are just a means to slow down the narrative (and I won't buy any suggestions that the flashbacks in the season 2 finale were useful for feeding the overall plot, bringing Desmond's girlfriend in at the last minute as a season cliffhanger was an extremely lazy piece of plotwork). If they don't shake it up next season, Lost is going to become a triumph of style over substance. The attributes that made it an intriguing piece of TV when it was first screened are in danger of stalling it.

Do you think the title is referring to the characters or the viewers? ;)

Maybe Bernard (or as they like to say it, Ber-NARD :afire: ) could take care of that, he's a dentist :D

It's the Marmite of TV, you either love it or your name's Chris T :D

In the last two episodes Desmond told Locke that he may have caused there plane to crash, and Locke still insisted on not typeing in the numbers.

When he didn't all metal objects were pulled to the hatch. That could explain why the ship "Black Rock" was so far in land. This also leads me to thick that Locke, Eko & Desmond who where inside the hatch are not dead.

The island has healing powers too remember - Rose overcame her cancer, Locke regained feeling in his legs etc.

I agree, I'll go so far as to say they should end it with this 3rd series, and I am usually very loth for sci-fi/fantasy series to end...

I've read that the producers had planned on three seasons (which then stretched to five), but the network wanted more (as the ratings are very good), so it is being padded out to seven.


I do like it, but I also find it extremely annoying & worry that it will rapidly go the way of the X Files...

I read somewhere that that was the original plan. However, somebody waved a large cheque under J.J.Abrams nose and the plan changed.

I believe there's mileage in the Fawlty Towers idea of 'leave them wanting more' but I think Lost is too big to limit to 3 seasons - I prefer the idea of 5.

But historically I paid my dues to NTL who then paid them to Channel 4 who then paid them to Disney/ABC, it is a timing matter. It is not like if you download music or a film that you would have paid other monies to see / hear. And in all honesty I will probably buy the box set when it comes out (I did with S1 and S2), so where is the revenue loss here?
