No worries. Do what you will, just a request.

LOST

If the next episode begins again with Jack saying Locke being held at gun point and Jack saying, "All roads lead to *this*?" I'm going to crack some skulls. Put it in the "Last week on LOST," writers. That's what those are FOR. I hate when they spoils perfectly good episode time reshowing the same damn scene over and over again, even if its setting up a different chracter's POV.

So, Jin excapes from a rabid band of cannibal "Otters" only to be immediately recaptured. Are they otters, the Others, OR...other survivors? My betting hand is on the last. At first I suspected a sort of Lord of the Rings set-up. Jack's band of survivors are the more civilized, including their own version of Piggy (Hurley). Michelle Rodriguez's (character name?) band of survivors are the ones who go primal. But on second thought, maybe they've had a much rougher time of it since the crash. Maybe they didn't have any medical supplies. Or a doctor on hand. Perhaps they've been attacked by the Others, etc. They're certianly more defensive and untrusting, so I'm thinking they've got good reason to be on their guard.

I was disappointed in the orientation film. They couldn't make it look a little older? Or believable? The music was really jarring. They couldn't find something more generic and 70s? The psychic stuff was neat, though, 'cause it explains someone like Walt, or the weird mystical stuff (like all the passenger's strange personal connections to one another; for example, Jack's wife killing Shannon's father in that car crash).

Jack is quickly becoming a favorite character on the show. I liked his breakdown, which I took to be his final acceptance that there is definitely something otherworldly going on that cannot really be explained, but it's happening all the same. It's not just coincidence.

Desmond running off to be by himself, when he's BEEN by himself for 3 years makes NO sense to me unless he really is working for Dharma (stupid name) and his story about randomly winding up there is bunk. I think it may be bunk. Otherwise, wouldn't he be craving the company. He was shown as being an affable conversationalist in his "previous life", so why wouldn't he want to stay with other people? Unless he's EVIL!

Gah. GAH! Not sure how I feel about this new development but it's only episode 3. For now, I'll just be happy that they'll get to shower. And, apparently, steal food. Hurley!

I gotta figure they are other survivors. Ana Lucia was on the plane. I would suspect that they have encountered "the others" and are therefore very suspicious of anyone they meet. And she is obviously with the people who are holding Jin, Sawyer, and Mike.

As far as Desmond running off....it made total sense to me. For at least three years he's been in that...bunker?...entering the numbers to stop a countdown that he obviously believes is necessary to continuing his survival and perhaps the survival of the world. When he thought the computer was destroyed, survival instincts kicked in and he wanted to get as far away from it as possible. I would suspect that he'll be back after a few days (island days) when he realizes that the island has not exploded. Of course, if he believes it to be something biological (he keeps injecting himself with something and took all of it with him), he may stay away longer.

Spoiler:

Kate's hot, but Shannon wears bikinis, so she wins.

I love Hurley.

I loved the extra feature disc {#7} where they had the cast talking and they were all pretty darn cool.

Did anyone notice that one of the big doners in the film looks like Locke's "father figure"? I don't think it was a quinkydink that we saw the film and the "father figure" in the same episode. I know it's not a quinkydink since the producers have said everything happens for a reason.

Spoiler:

Kate is hot. Shannon not so much. Sawyer and Sayid = droolfestarama.

Namaste.

Ok this might throw you a bone, but sadly I can't remember the whole thing that was said.

On KROQ, they were discussing the show yesterday morning. The sequence where Shannon saw Walt and he spoke to her has an interesting twist. They played the audio backwards and you could here what he said...the only problem? I can't remember what he said. My DH told me and now that I am typing this...it has slipped my mind.

whew...found it....."Press the button. No button is bad" now what does that mean? I have no clue!

[BarTopDancer]

I swore he was saying "don't push the button the button is bad"

Not the best episode, imo. Very predictable in some respects. Like, suddenly Rose was the focus, meanwhile they confirm that there's another group of survivors. Anyone surprised in the least that Bernard was one of them? And the story kinda went nowhere. We learned that, um, those guys were all survivors from the rear of the plane. And...um...oh, they think the raft guys are dead. That's it. No new mysteries, no character progress. Nada. Feh.
