Lost

Spoiler:

The Charlie thing should also have been obvious...he was the only other thing they showed in the "previously on Lost..." bit. They never show anything that they don't follow through with

Meanwhile...I guess now that Blondie's dead, the writers have no idea what to do with Sayid. He's had all of 5 lines since she then.

Does your spoiler mean you had it figured out?

As far as Sayid goes....many characters have had episodes when they aren't heard from, even several in a row. He'll be back. There have been several spans where normal regulars aren't heard from much due to backstories of other characters.

Oh, heck no. But the second I saw him, I immediately realized I should have figured it out (just as I should have figured the rest out).

Only Spoilers if you did not see last night:

Spoiler:

So the manuscript is actually a book called The Bad Twin realeased in conjunction with Lost.

Now we know when the flight went down.

The woman in the diner was Kate's mom.

Question: Can we turn this into a thread that contains open spoilers for current episodes (with a warning in the title) or shall we continue putting everything into spoiler tags.

I say after the show airs in your timezone it should be permissable to post about it.

If I read somehting posted by someone in NY prior to viewing the show, that's my fault. If I record it to view it later, then I should just avoid threads discussing the show. Just my two cents. I am trying to be sensitive because someone once chewed my butt out about it on another board.

I agree no spolier tags. I tivo it and if I haven't had time to watch it yet then I don't look in the tread until I do.

I don't post much about this here, but at MP I have gotten into the habit of tagging my posts since I usually can't wait to post, and the episode would not have aired in CA when I'm posting.

If the episode has aired in CA, I wouldn't bother tagging something that is associated with that episode or even the preview for the next ep (some people don't like to discuss previews). If I didn't see the ep when it aired, IMO it's up to me to avoid the thread until I have so I don't get spoiled.

That said, we need another Hurley flashback ep.! I'm thinking next week is a Sayid ep.

Is anyone else listening to the Official Lost podcasts? They are dropping little hints of the "easter eggs" that they put in the episodes, like signs in the background that will become significant later. It's kind of cool.

Wednesday reminder - new ep tonight.

Spoiler:

OMG! I think the American who showed Sayid the video is the Gordon Fisherman!

And that other American is Kates dad! EEP!

Good catch on Kate's dad! I didn't catch that, although he did look familiar. The other guy wasn't the Gordon Fisherman, but he was familiar as well. So I looked him up on IMDB and found where I recognized him from - he was also the evil head guard in The Shawshank Redmption. While I was researching him I was amused to find out he's also the voice of Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob Squarepants.

Loved the episode. So...is he an "Other" or not????
