sandbox LOST thread

The people I am interested in: Libby (admittedly, dead), Juliet, Sayid, Hurley, Locke, Alex, Desmond and Benry.

People I like but don't need to know any more about back story from: Sun, Jin, Charlie.

People I don't care about either on the island or before it: everyone else.

as far as survivors go it's still Locke at #1 and the story of his crippledom which they're dragging their feet on (arf) forever, plus the general 'belief/i'm special' thing. Hurley/Libby thing right behind, then probably Claire! so they are the three future flashbacks i'm looking fwd to most (bar Others) now.

xxxxxp yeah, we just need MORE OF IT. less kate, less jack, who gives a shit? i still think eko stole sayid's thunder.

i hate this show

Claire flashback really soon (3 weeks I think?). According to Emily de Ravin it flashes back to a much younger Claire.

There are still a lot of gaps in the pre-island backstories of a bunch of original 815ers that have been talked about but not touched upon:

Sayid - apparently his father was some kind of Iraqi war hero or something, also all that moving around looking for Nadia

Hurley - THE DECK COLLAPSE and WTF LIBBY obviously

Sawyer - "The Tampa Job", a (possible) daughter!

Also they need to do some more childhood flashbacks - we've seen Jack, Sun, and Sawyer as children (albeit briefly), surely a super distant past flashback could be awesome.

new horrible show is on with scary david puddy(sp?) from seinfeld

It makes me so sad to see him (Patrick Warburton) on such a shitty show - he is one of the highest-profile cartoon voice actors out there right now, plus he has been really good in other things (the live action version of The Tick esp).

Dr. Invisiwho and his unlaming of Peter will probably push me back into Heroes when I have time to sit down and rewatch the three eps I saw + everything else.

Yeah. I'm getting a little tired of all of the ponderous Jack/Kate/Sawyer action. If the Bai Ling ep is as bad as I suspect it will be, it might be the time I finally tune out.

anyway this was a really good episode, surprisingly. there are so many loose threads and dangling plotlines stretching back over a the past two seasons that the show has been really frustrating. this didn't address any of them really but it was a good break. I do think the show has probably one more season left in it though; or they should try to answer most of the questions that are outstanding and introduce something else.

misread ...dangling plotlines....

as

dangling "panties"

cannot stop lolling.

NO SECERT GRAYS ENAMOTY FAN THRED BOO

I'm thinking one of the challenges would be three drinks for every time someone trips while chasing someone/something in the forest.

- everytime Sawyer zings/gives a nickname/reads a book/looks at Kate with goo-ey eyes
- JACK FACE!
- someone trips in the forest
- TEH NUMBERS
- Flashback (if you can anticipate a flashback ie if someone's expression lingers on the camera, and there's that wooshing noise, shout "FLASHBACK!" and take two drinks)
- episode opens with someone's eye opening
- Hurley sez "Dude".

etc.

Heroes: I just can't get behind it. I try to like it, I really do, but the acting is so BAD and the woman thing annoys me, and I think maybe Lost is my one and only stupid-supernatural-things-happening show.

Lost: I think it's a mark of how this once great show has drifted that even here, on the Lost thread, we are talking about other shows. sigh.

gwan

Because is Lost thread, innit?

what woman thing?
