sandbox LOST thread

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?

The fact that the women are comic-book cliche women, like strippers or cheerleaders and they get to be sexually victimized. Although someone did point out upthread that it's getting better. I don't know, I gave up after episode 10, when they actually appeared to save the cheerleader, although maybe they didn't. I had lost all interest at that stage.

hey island kid, you know lots of stuff, BEAT IT!

hi stewardess, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

This was my EXACT beef with Heroes and why I gave up after about three episodes.

sawyer and kid on log w/ swelling strings = close second

only worthwile two minutes = we know tailies are alive and well

uh, none

only worthwile two minutes = we know tailies are alive and well

unless you count that as a revelation and "we are here to watch" as a satisfying explanation! guh?

(I guess they were supposed to witness Juliet's execution?)

although I liked when sawyer punched carl and told him to cowboy up (possibly Boston Red Sox reference #2435)
