I guess they have little incentive to move it along with the continued popularity.

Part of it I think is that I'm not finding the new people all that interesting after putting so much into the backstories of last year.

When Ana Lucia shot Shannon the slide locked back on her pistol, signifying that it was indeed empty. She must get Sayid's or somebody else's gun or some bullets at least.

Did I miss her background? Is she some kind of badass? Why would she feel comfortable going alone with the peace corp dude when she suspected he was the spy?

It had always been planned. They planted the seed in the first season, and it bloomed in the third.

Futurama also had a couple major storylines (that you didn't know existed) pay off 3-4 seasons down the road.

You are not the first to feel that way. I am a rabid fan, and have felt that way myself at times.

I do think, however, that the tailies were part of the plan from the very beginning, witness Rose assuring Jack in the first couple of episodes that her husband Bernard was alive. That tells me they have been planning this reunion from the outset.

Ahh, patience grasshopper. All will be revealed via flash backs in future episode fillers.

Kodos · 11-17-2005, 04:52 PM

I'd just like to say I love the new thread title. That is all...

gkb · 11-17-2005, 04:55 PM

Me and the Mrs. watched the first season of Lost on DVD recently and we both really enjoyed the show. We haven't watched any of the second season yet...we decided to wait until it was released on DVD. I've been reading the thread anyway, but I'm having a hard time telling if anyone is actually enjoying the second season.

So...do you guys still like Lost? It seems, as far as I can tell, the the general consensus is that the second season hasn't been as well done as the first.

You didn't see the previous episodes where she was a boxer, dated Vin Diesel, fought the undead, was a professional surfer, or was on a SWAT team????

So far I really like what's happening on the island but the back stories have been pretty weak; overall this has been a good season. (Although I don't think you were asking me, I haven't even posted yet in this thread).

Earlier people in this thread were giving him kudos. Where'd they go? Did they change their mind? If they did change their minds...why? Also what were they watching last year, when I thought he sucked just as much.

I thought it was pretty cheesy how the writers set up that guy Nathan.

Where have you been for the past 2 hours? "I was going to the bathroom".
later on....
Why didn't I see you on the plane? "I was in the bathroom".

Obviously they did that so we'd naturally assume Nathan was the spy. But I thought it was lame for the writers to give him those answers.

There was clearly no bullet in the clip nor chamber.

Also she asked him where he was from and he was like "What? Uh... Uh... Canada!" I'm pretty sure Ethan also claimed to be from Canada.

Eko is now one my favourite characters...

ThunderingHERD · 11-24-2005, 02:46 AM

Great, we're treated to another character's complete douchebag behavior explained away to a tragic past.

Anyway, did anyone else notice that "Gilgamesh" didn't work in that crossword at all?

Yeah. It was pretty easy to see that one coming. Something had to explain how deeply irritating she is. I see where she would have some serious "trust" issues after that, but she's still freaking annoying, retarded, and boring.

Nice to see the Jin/Sun and Bernard/Rose reunions.

Ecko and Locke are the seemingly only reasonable people around.

You could tell from the preview that Annyoning-Lucia was going to give Sayid the "Chop of Freedom" and not the "Chop of Death."

Raiders Army · 11-24-2005, 09:15 AM

Michelle Rodriguez is playing a former cop who has anger issues? That's a stretch for her, but I think she's making it work.

That said, I did find it somewhat strange that when she got the gun from Sawyer in the pit, she handled it like a cop (i.e. the shooting stance). I thought it was strange then but attributed it to her being a lazy actress. Now I see that it was for a reason.

Rockstar · 11-24-2005, 09:34 AM

She is annoying and beautiful. No wonder I like her.

Annoying I agree. Beautiful, ack. I go with the premise that Hollywood adds about +5 on the hotness scale of 1 to 10, so if she's a 6, then she's a 1 without make-up, etc.

By the time the makeup was off, I'd have long since fled out the door.

Poli · 11-24-2005, 10:11 AM

One thing that's bothered me is that Ethan took Claire, but not Walt. He certainly didn't follow the plan Goodwin had with the tailsection survivors. Ethan could have easily had taken out the stronger members in the first few days, in my opinion.

Perhaps part of the problem is that maybe he was with Goodwin originally, and then was sent out to look for other survivors. Even still, I think he could have staged a similar plan and taken Claire and Walt without much conflict.

I just have to wonder why he didn't.

Well, Goodwin seemed to have a "team" of Others working with him. Ethan appeared to operating solo on his mission. That said, he would have been better served taking out Locke, Jack, Sayid, or Sawyer other than whatever random dude he killed.

Dude, Ethan couldn't even kill Charlie, much less Locke or Jack.

i thought it worked in this episode.

especially when bernard and rose reunited. what dialogue could they have written that would have been as or more powerful?

"i missed you."
"ditto."

Me neither.

While I think this season hasn't been bad, I think it's lacking in something.

I think the something is a mystery...or maybe some plotlines being tied up.

Right now there are so many questions out there, it's impossible to tell which direction the show is going in. Is it a confrontation with the others? Is it a revelation with the numbers/hatch? Who will die?

If there were a main mystery that we knew the story was heading to I think we would look forward to the progression of the storyline. We don't know where the show is going so that's what's lacking right now.

Raiders Army · 11-25-2005, 01:32 PM

Dola,

Also last week's story of the tailies bogged down things a bit as well as about 1/2 an hour passing this week. So in three weeks of "new" episodes we have progressed the story very little.

We're not getting anywhere, that's the problem. The last 5 weeks have been soap opera type stuff while all the interesting story elements have been MIA. We haven't heard a peep about Hanso, Dharma, the weird shit on the island, etc since episode 3.

The others?

kingfc22 · 11-27-2005, 12:59 AM

Finally watched the last two episodes and I thought they were very well done. Can't wait to see what happens next week.

CraigSca · 11-27-2005, 06:03 AM

I'm just glad that there have been no sightings of the weird animal-like thing in the forest for weeks. It's really timely, as they've spent a lot of time moving through said forest at all hours of the day. Phew!

Yeh, the things that go bump in the forest are forgotten about whenever the story calls for it. Ana Lucia was so worried about the others that she just freakin shot someone, then she decides just to hang out at that spot for hours.
