The LOST topic *spoilers*

[arnold]

Just had a look and there isn't anything posted about it, I think I remember one on the old board but I never posted in it as I was only just starting it, But i'm on ep 20 now and damn this Program gets better and bloody better, just finished ep 19 where the thing lights up I want to know whats under there hope something happens with whatever iti s in one of the last eps.
The Hurley ep rocked (best character on it), and I never noticed in ep 17 he was on the TV of where Jin was giving the guy from the factory that message until someone pointed it out, ok I never noticed they kinda met each other before hand in diffrent ways, Sawyer getting carted off by police when boon was reporting abuse to his sister, sawyer meeting Jacks dad

[Bowser57]

After falling by the way side earlier on I'm back into it now and think it's pretty good. Not amazing, but has certainly been worth watching so far.

[GoonFace]

Brilliant TV series, I'm currently on episode 21.

[Eddage]

I've been watching it on TV and loving it, so much infact that I ordered the first series from cd-wow.com and it should be coming sometime this week (hopefully), can't wait!

[Happenstance]

Ive seen all of season 1 and its such a great show. I cant wait for season 2 now!

[Retro_Link]

I LOVE this show; i've been watching all the episodes (and somethimes the repeats aswell); I've really gotten into it and never want to miss it.

I love the mystery surrounding the whole thing (i know i probably haven't seen as many episodes as alot of you, as i'm only watching it on channel4), but for example the whole thing a couple of weeks ago when you kept seeing the mysterious man watching them from the edge of the jungle or the sea and then when you looked back he'd vanished etc...
It's great when the episodes end on things like that!

I think Charlie's a great character; good acted by the young hobbit (Dominic Monaghan)!

[Eddage]

I think Charlie's a great character; good acted by the young hobbit (Dominic Swan)!

*cough* Dominic Monaghan *cough*

Completely agree, he's my favourtie character too and felt so proud when he chucked the drugs on the fire, although, interesting sidepoint, wouldn't they all get high off of the fumes? Cause that would hvae been hilarious!

[Ashley]

I've added a spoiler tag now. It can be found under advanced replies (with its own little crappy button) or by using the following code without the full stops: [spo.iler]spoil me rotten![/spo.iler]

Please go back and edit your texts. I would but Im part way through Lost myself and loving it and dont want to be spoilt.

[Haden]

My favourite characters are Locke, that Southern guy and the hobbit :wink:
I can't stand the bambi eyed main woman character. I have got up to episode 16 and am enjoying it immensly. The camera work and enviroments are wonderful and characterisation is coming along nicely. A few nice overlapping bits of storyline in the flashbacks as well. Will be intrested to see how this concludes.

Oh and Bowser your new sig rocks my socks. :happy: Leanardo FTW!

Cheers for the correction Twilight'! It didn't sound right to me as i was typing it (but went blank so put it anyway :indeed: ).

Anyways, yeah i was thinking that too about the fumes off of the fire, i think the moth hovering above got most of it, lol!! poor things gonna feel that for days!

I can't stand the bambi eyed main woman character.Yeah, there is something a little annoying about her (character);

on the other hand.....

the beautiful Shannon (Maggie Grace)!!!

[Shmotz]

hehe this is pretty sweet

I am on Episode 11 at the moment, its pretty good indeed. I've sort of read about the rest of the series already, but I will watch em all when I have the time...

[epiq]

This whole reply is a spoiler, so here goes!

[sooiler]I CANT BELIEVE LOCKE KILLS HALF THE CAST! AND THE WHOLE REVELATION ABOUT WHO WEARS NAPPIES![/sspoiler]

[RATM_4_EVA]

....right :eer: cant wait for season 2. they go down the hatch, cant friggin wait... :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Platty]

its a bit slow but so far im really enjoying it but keep watching repeats as i can never remember what ones i have watched and if its on E4 or channel 4, oh it gets so confusing sometimes this TV lark.

[BGS]

Ahh I love this show so so much. Got the dvd boxset as soon as it came out and finished watching the whole lot already. What a cliffhanger eh?! I kinda wished they could have answered a few more of the hanging questions though before the end of that series. Although it was good, I felt at times I was watching only because I wanted to know...

What is in the hatch?!
and, What the hell are the numbers all about?

And neither were really answered this series. Favourite character has to be Locke though. He's ace. And Kate who people don't seem to like very much (but just LOOK at her pretty eyes!!)

I've no idea if I'm allowed to ask this, but I've seen someone else on this topic say they were going to this anyway so...
Does anyone know where I can download the first ep in the next series after it's been released? I just think how long it's gonna take for series 2 to get over here and can't bare the thought of that long wait! I just know i'm gonna cave to spoiler sites in that time.

Edit: Typo.

[Happenstance]

....right :eer: cant wait for season 2. they go down the hatch, cant friggin wait... :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You should go back and edit that with spoiler tags like ive done in ur quote, not everyone knows about that!

[arnold]

Edited my post with spoiler tags, Cheers

Fave characters got to be Hurley,his ep was pretty freaky did like how the numbers came about though and Clare >>>> Shannon and Kate

[EEVILMURRAY]

It's been dragging too much for my liking. Everyone has their tongue up that doctors arse as if they can't live without him.

Back story of Charlie = He was a pussy.

[Mike]

I'm about two thirds of the way through the series so far. I'm enjoying it, but I do think that it has a tendency to drag on in some places. I also don't like the way that they have big revelations, then seem to forget about them for a few episodes. Can't wait to watch the rest of it, still.

I don't have any particular favourite characters (well okay, maybe Charlie, what with him being English), but I definitely don't like the brother and sister, Sawyer, and Jack - they're all pretty boring.

[Retro_Link]

It's been dragging too much for my liking. Everyone has their tongue up that doctors arse as if they can't live without him.

Take that back! Charlies the best character in it; it's not his fault his brother was an absolute git (i'll say that word instead of anything else) to him!

Yeah it does kinda get on my nerves how some of them suck up to Jack, but i like it how other characters are becoming stronger now such as Charlie, Locke, Sayid.

[BGS]

To one of the mods:
I know it's probably not the greatest idea in the world but would it be plausible to set up two threads for Lost? One for the people who are following the show on C4/E4 so have only got up to a certain episode number and another for people who've already seen the whole lot.
I know it says this is a spoiler thread but I feel mean posting anything here that's past where C4/E4 are upto.

I know it says this is a spoiler thread but I feel mean posting anything here that's past where C4/E4 are upto.

But then in the thread for C4/E4 people who watch the next episode after the one on channel 4 can then sopil that ep for people you don't have sky/cable/freeview, so in effect you would need 3 different threads to avoid any spoilers and thats just a waste of forum space!

Why do people not like Charlie, I think he rocks, and how can he diss him when he's been the great band known only as Driveshaft!

[arnold]

Charlie is cool, especially after the Ethan incidents he got better

[Locky]

I presume everyone's seen the Lost Oceanic Airlines website?

Oceanic Airlines (http://www.oceanic-air.com/)

Watch out, the site has got hidden spoilers on it!

[Tphi]

Talking Lost sites, has everyone seen Ch4's Lost Untold?

Oh and yeh: highlight below if you wanna know what's down the hatch:

Desmond.

[Locky]

Not sure if I have, what's the URL?

[Ashley]

Tphi is that "the big spoiler" ive seen several topics about. I so wanna know what it is but I shouldn't, pure masochism!

Anyway finished watching it last night.

I don't see why some people were dissapointed. It ended with many mysteries which from Lost you should expect really. Still an entertaining finale. I though I was spoilt ages ago because I knew Ian Somerhalder's character died but got the actors mixed around and thought he played Sawyer, so that was a surprise for me.

And Evil, some of them would literally be dead if it weren't for Jack. That annoyed me in the pilot, the way he was superdoc (and apparently he was originally gonna be killed off) but im glad he became less of a goody goody.

[Retro_Link]

Jack. That annoyed me in the pilot, the way he was superdoc (and apparently he was originally gonna be killed off) but im glad he became less of a goody goody.
That's wierd; how did they go from that to making him the main character?!!

[Tphi]

Ash, yeh, that one is the uber spoiler. Seriously, when I read it, I was let down. I've followed how much hype there is about what could be down the hatch and.. it just seems like another Lost mystery with no real explanation. Like they did it just for the sake of having something wacky happen (ie the Polar Bear).

Once again just to tempt you, what's down the hatch is: Desmond :P :p

Locky, you can get to Lost Untold through the Ch4 site (http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/L/lost/) It's a cool Flash thingy with lots of goodies and hints at whats coming next. Made by the people who did DonnieDarko.com, if you've ever explored that.

[RATM_4_EVA]

here is the U.S. Lost site (http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index.html) on ABC.com. go here (http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/orville/) and click on season one recap.

A friggin lot of spoilers you were warned :)

[Ashley]

Tphi is the big spoiler

the hatch is filled with concrete, or was that just a joke (was reading an article in EW
and stopped aorund there cause I didnt want to be spoilt).
And the polar bear is apparently because Walt is so "special" he made it.
Both times he was seen reading that comic book the polar bear appeared.

[RATM_4_EVA]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! season 2 just started. OMG, OMG the f***ing hatch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when Jack had a patient who was in a car accident he did surgery on her. she had a 99% cahnce of walking again. depressed, he was doing that thing where you run every stair in a staidum up and down. he twisted his foot when he was racing someone who also happened to be a doctor. they talked for a while. mostly about jacks lack of hope and stuff. when jack got back to the patient, her legs were somehow able to move again.

Now, back to the hatch. when it was blown open it was marked quaranten. kate later on volinters to go down the hatch. al lof a sudden she was pulled furiously down the hole. then a bright light arose from the hatch. lock then goes after her. soon after, jack follows. there is a path with pipes and art-paint he then goes into a room with a giant machine with tape spinning, there is also a computer, when just about to press it, Lock stops him. jack points his gun at lock and demands kate. then there is a gun is pointed at lock, the voice tell jack to put down the gun, jack demands kate, the man with the gun steps behind lock. jack see his face and knows who he is. the man he met while running in the staidum, Desmond.WTF!!!!!!

:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

LOST IS GOD OF SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!! :bow: :bow: :bow: OMG!!!

[EEVILMURRAY]

That's all well and good, but I don't arsebang my doctor all the time.


What a twist, Sawyer not having the inhalers. That's 20+ minutes I'm not getting back.

I'm just wondering what they'll fill 45 minutes with once they've finished with everyone's [Because they've all got them] gripping back stories.

[Retro_Link]

Yeah i pretty much guessed that Sawyer didn't have them from the start, just the sort of thing he'd do!

Can anyome just explain the letter thing to me i'm not sure i quite got it;

When he was young he wrote that letter, because someone called Sawyer slept with his mum and then his dad killed her and himself?
Then when he grew up he almost made the same mistake?
And so called himself Sawyer, to remind him of what he'd done?

He said that he had become the man he was hunting?!


Backstories left; Sayid, Michael and Walt, Shannon and Boone, Hugo, Claire

[arnold]

About the Back Stories, once they've done with the main characters they do more story of the back story (If that makes sense) >> let me think of soemthing that won't spoil anything >>

with Kate they go back previous to her and why shes on the run, what happened etc etc.

and they just do it with a couple of them (won't say who not to spoil)

*needs o get Season2* Need to track it down from torrent hoep i can find one ^^:

[Tphi]

Heheh, no the big spoiler isn't that the hatch is filled with concrete.

But what is down there makes no sense whatever. :S Even with all the Jack backstory that comes out in 2.1.

How is Walt "special"? Are there any other instances of him doing stuff like this?

[BGS]

Anyone know where I can get Ep 1 of series 2?

[Ashley]

Only other "Walt is special" thing I can think of is in the episode dedicated to him and Michael he is having a strop while researching that bird species, and then a bird of that species smacks into the window

BGS, legally only in America. NOBODY POST LINKS TO DOWNLOADS!!

Yeah once everyone's got a backstory they delve further into it/explain it more etc. Sometimes they're character defining ones (such as Jack and his dad) and some explain how they ended up on Oceanic 815.

Sawyer's backstory is basically:

A "confidence man" (as Sawyer refers to him) had an affair with his mother and took a lot of money from them (I think anyway) and his father found out. He then got really mad and shot his mom and himself (spoiler for another Sawyer-backstory ep) His dad killed himself on Sawyer's bed when he was a child, while Sawyer was under the bed. Sawyer dedicated his life to find this man and give him this letter (I'd imagine thats much more threatening as a child cause it sounds lame to an adult). Then one day he found himself low on funds so he became a "confidence man." He turned into the man he was hunting, hence why he goes by Sawyer.

The next story about Sawyer is good, it gives some good reasoning on why hes so fucked up.

Anyway been watching some of the featurettes and such. The ones about story/character devolpment were a treat for me because I like that kind of thing.

[Retro_Link]

So i had it right then, but thank for clearing it up for me as i wasn't sure i had!
and it was him seeing the kid of the people he was going to rip off that made him stop; as it reminded him of himself going through it all as a kid.

[Eddage]

The first series of loast arrived in the post this morning! Got it for £25 from cd-wow.com, can't wait to watch and since I've got five days off coming up I'll be 'Lost' in heaven, get it, Lost..... oh ok I'll shut up now,

[Retro_Link]

I'll be 'Lost' in heaven, get it, Lost..... oh ok I'll shut up now,:blink:

Booooooooooooo !!!!

lol,

[GoonFace]

Just finished watching the first season, bloody brillaint. Now, to watch the second season.

[Ashley]

Finally watched a CD that came free with TV Guide while I was in NY. Trailer for S2 made me want to watch it more, curse Channel Four.

Bright side, had "You All Everybody" on.

[RATM_4_EVA]

hes a bit like the kid from the omen, think of it as that.

and yeah, whats in the hatch is very strange

i think when the guy said he is running around the world, he somehow ended up on the island, the thing is, he has 20 year old equipment
yeah but strangly i saw some kenmore washing machines in the distance that are really new. :shock: :wtf:

[zaraki]

Cant wait to start on 2'nd season. I have the first ep of season 2 on my PC, havent watched it yet though.

[Meroigo]

S02E01. OMG. WTF?!

That's what I have to say about that (and I guess every other) Lost episode. No more, no less. :-)

[Mike]

Just finished watching the first season of Lost last night. I've enjoyed the series throughout (although I'm not keen on any of the supernatural bits such as Hurley's magic numbers, the psychic boy and Claire's devil child - IMO these don't have a place in something set in a 'serious' drama), but to be honest, I wasn't happy with the ending of the first season.

I expected them to reveal at least SOMETHING about what was going on, rather than just posing more questions.

Also, the pacing of the seres really bugged me. Some things that are the cliffhanger to some episodes aren't even mentioned, let alone resolved, until a few episode later. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to seeing the second season. Now to find somewhere to 'acquire' it...

[Ashley]

Lost was never conceived as a serious drama. JJ Abrams and someone else in charge (forgot his name) both said they felt that a "twist" was needed otherwise it would be too flat. There needed to be this external force to bring everyone together and I think it works well.

Dunno why everyone complains about more cliffhangers, its how shows get people to come back for the next season. They're exciting and annoying, its a catch 22.

Ive always been a fan of shows that stretch out storylines (reasonably of course) because things do tend to come back on you when you least expect it. Thats what I loved about Buffy, in an episode of Season Seven there was a resolve to something that happened in Season Two and it felt right.

[Mike]

Lost was never conceived as a serious drama.

Maybe not, but at the beginning it certainly looked like it could have been one. Yeah, so the polar bear was weird, but it still could have had a realistic explanation. The small number of supernatural things later on in the series just didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the show, in my opinion.

[Ashley]

Seems blogs fair better for TV than they do gaming, as this one is actually quite clever.

General spoilers for season one

http://www.ericd.net/2005_09_18_blogger_archive.inc

Hmm could these numbers be related to the theory? Think it would be a good twist.

[Babooo]

What episode are E4 and channel 4 on? Just a bit curious...

Anywhoo, I've already finished season 1, brilliant series.

Just finished watching the first episode of the second season as well. You won't believe what happens. Its got me on tenterhooks every time!

[er-no]

Episode 1 of the Second Series just blew me away.
Amazing.

:-D Didn't think it'd be that good!

[RATM_4_EVA]

I saw someplace that the numbers on the hatch are all numbers of retired NY Yankees players. I think.

[Retro_Link]

Last weeks episode where they were trying to find Charlie and Claire was amazing!! Best episode so far!!
and at the end when Locke and Boone found the metal floor cover!!

Can anyone help explain Kates episode to me yesterday though!;

Why did she get involved in the bank raid, just to get the metal toy plane out of one of the safe boxes; especially when she had the key anyway.
Why go to such lengths for something not all that important in the long run!
Maybe I didn't hear the explanation; if there was one!!

And is there a future episode where what happened between her and the man she loved is explained?!

[Bowser57]

And is there a future episode where what happened between her and the man she loved is explained?!

Yes.

And I'm not certain, but am pretty sure that it was explained in the episode you saw why she couldn't just open the deposit box without the bank raid, and that was she had no I.D or authorisation to open it. Turning up with just a key and saying "I want to open that box" isn't really enough as what's to stop you stealing the key?

Edit: Yep, just re-watched that part of the episode and her reason is "I'm not on the signatory card".

[zaraki]

Just watched ep 5 of S2. Things are about to get hectic.

[Bowser57]

Why do a bank raid though; just for a metal toy plane!!
or is it more than that (and explained in a future episode)??

[Bowser57]

Ok, thanks!

Why do a bank raid though; just for a metal toy plane!!
or is it more than that (and explained in a future episode)??

Well, it is explained further. But in the episode you watched she does say that it belonged to the man she loved, the man she killed. I would imagine some people living with such guilt would be prepared to go to some pretty extreme lengths to recover an item that belonged to them, even if it is just a toy.

[Tphi]

Ok, thanks!

Why do a bank raid though; just for a metal toy plane!!
or is it more than that (and explained in a future episode)??

The significance of the toy plane is explained in a later episode.


Anyways, if you haven't heard the latest *big* spoiler about Season 2:

Shannon dies.

I was really hoping that really happened last night.

[Tphi]

I nwas really hoping that really happened last night.

That's the thing with Lost, things don't happen quick enough. :)

[Charlie]

On episode 20. 75% of 21 is downloaded (box set on the way from America!). I'm loving it so far.

Boon's death was really good, shame his leg stayed intact though. i want to see more about that plane.

By far the best thing I've watched on TV this year (I haven't watched much though).

i was really annoyed when the found that metal door in the river and then didn't do anything about it. the one they've been at for a while is in a totally different place!

[Deku-Nutz]

Hmmm... I am all for discussing the best thing on TV at the mo but why drop in tempting Spoilers just for the sake of doing it? Especially things that couldn't have happened either in UK or USA. I think America are on Episode 5 or 6 of series 2?

I have seen all of number 1 and 3 eps of 2.

I have to say, the programme is great! Its so exciting!!!

I don't quite understand Dharma. I suppose that will be a HUGE mystery like..forever. Its a really scary idea though. Imagine being responsable... Ugh... so often you have to...Never getting more than...of sleep...So ANNOYING!!!...

Classy Show!!!

whats so special about 108

You'll seeeeeeeeeee...

But if you really wanna know...

A: Its the Sum of all the 'cursed' numbers that keep popping up all over, but more importantly its the amount of time between each countdown to DOOM! The hatch is a control room where some poor sod has to imput the cursed numbers into a computer at every 108th minute of every day!!! Still a lot of mystery surrounding it though.

Whats with the super thin Quote boxes anyway...

[arnold]

Ep 5, was a tad boring, mainly becasue I couldn't hear a damn thing what was being said (Quality of the downlaod was crap had my ear right up to the screen) But bloody brilliant, But I can't wait 3 weeks for ep 6/7 =(

Theres pics about of Ep 6 where Mr Eko and the woman (one who stole the gun, can't remember her name) Are helping some kids who have lost their parents, guess which bear the kids have on them, Things are getting damned amazing in this TV show, one of the best.

and I dunno if anyones seen these yet, but some Pics of soem nice spotting of things, which I never even noticed

Not "Big" Spoilers, The Second Pic is from Episode 1, But the first is from the end of the first season and start of the second:
