perhaps Charlie is 'next' because as with Ana-Lucia and Eko he has killed an Other (as have Sun, Sawyer and now Juliet - possible clues as to who will cop it further on in the series)

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i doubt charlie will die really. it would be a bit straightforward.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:07 (seventeen years ago) link

perhaps the spirit of rock n' roll will perish within him.

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I sort of wish they'd mix up the Others Island stuff with the beach/ensemble scenes in each episode a bit more. Either that or have Locke, Sayid and Jin go in there and kick arse and get Jack back asap.

unfortunately Island Momus now has a name (SPOILERS DUH)

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:10 (seventeen years ago) link

it's a bit like in 'final destination' where all the characters are named things like 'alfred hitchcock'.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 11:14 (seventeen years ago) link

i am so psyched for Flame exploration

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:20 (seventeen years ago) link

been thinking over s03 and why i'm not quite feeling it enough yet and it comes down to: MORE SAYID PLZ, i think.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:25 (seventeen years ago) link

wash your mouth out. the fuck it has.

-- temporary enrique (miltonpinsk...), December 21st, 2006 2:46 PM.

but my frustration with the show was largely because i knew there'd be a big gap after the first 6. now it promises to be every week until the end i'm pretty happy with things.

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:55 (seventeen years ago) link

hmm. i was off my medication.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 12:57 (seventeen years ago) link

that or: i kind of knew the six wouldn't work, even though there were some great bits, but these last two haven't done it for me either. maybe they should have made the six *entirely* about jack kate and sawyer on the other island and not bodged the other stuff. thus ep 7 could have started with more of a bang. getting them *off* the island is/was a big chore.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:00 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah like what they did with the tailies. but that would have risked alienating the section of the fanbase who aren't Jack/Kate/Sawyer fans.

― Stuck in ILX Limbo (Roz), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Ben can't be Rousseau's husband, because he has been on the island his whole life, whereas Rousseau & fam & crew crashed there 16 years ago (I feel like I should specify "16 island years".

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:32 (seventeen years ago) link

only if you believe ben and rousseau! also he could have got rousseau preggers even if they are both telling the truth there. or juliet's magic drug maybe created her...

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:38 (seventeen years ago) link

danielle was already pregnant with alex when she got shipwrecked right?

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:40 (seventeen years ago) link

SO SHE SAYS.

but yes.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:40 (seventeen years ago) link

err juliet's magic drug wasn't created in 1988.

― Stuck in ILX Limbo (Roz), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

only poxy fules are enslaved by time and space.

why lost is lost:

How to Fix It

For characters: Kill Jack. Kill Kate. Kill Nicki and Paolo (or whatever) and never, ever, ever make such a grade school attempt to introduce new characters again. Make Charlie interesting again instead of the whiny, jealous infant he became. Don't screw up Desmond. Cripple Locke and bring back his mystic bent. Let Sayid loose. More Sun & Jin. Make Sawyer say something besides "offensive attention-getter, unimaginative nickname. Sarcastic comment and/or question." Oh, and maybe explain where Danielle is after all this time.

― GAWD PVNCH (yournullfame), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Let Sayid loose.

Most truest of all.

― Bellicose Veins (Rock Hardy), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Charlie was never interesting.

Benry flashback is urgent and key (either tie-in with Rousseau/Alex or do separate ones for them also).

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

More Sayid. I've been saying it since, er, there stopped being so much Sayid.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I think they said somewhere the season would end with a Ben flashback.

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

i think the losties and others may kind of join each other in some way, at least by the end of the show.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm still pissed that Sayid's "Keep two, kill the rest" thing didn't come off.

― onimo (nu_onimo), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

are they going to give fuckface Pickett the same kind of funeral they gave his wife? how will Juliet explain his death to Tom, Ben and co? it's hard to imagine any of them giving a shit about him really.

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:26 (seventeen years ago) link

NRQ OTM. Eyepatchy dude + smokey monster (also possibly + barefooted kind posse [may still be other Others!]) may turn out to be shared enemies. Or maybe Jack + Ben + Juliet + Tom get kicked out of Othersville for their shenanigens.

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

barefooted KID posse

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

More Sayid. I've been saying it since, er, there stopped being so much Sayid.

I would love a show with Sayid just taking out Others Rambo-stylee. He can get rid of Charlie as well.

― The Many Faces of Gordon Jump (Leon), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:36 (seventeen years ago) link

There's lots of reasons to miss Sayid, not just for his badassery: 1. he's this show's Professor, I miss him building radios out of coconut leaves and Hurley's butt-sweat, 2. of all the man-candy on the island, he is the Great Romantic, 3. Sawyer saved all his best nicknames (Cpt. Falafel) and zingers for Sayid.

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:41 (seventeen years ago) link

i had forgotten that he and hurley built a radio and heard the past. harumph.

'the wire' has ridiculously elongated stories, but it does at least touch base with minor characters from time to time.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Sayid had the best man-on-man friendships too (Sayid + Hurley, Sayid + Charlie esp), besides Sawyer and Jack (what a shame having 6 episodes starring both almost exclusively and no Jawyer/Sack time!!).

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Did anyone check out the Polar Bear Mural thing?

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:54 (seventeen years ago) link

One painting, in a style reminiscent of the mural Desmond painted on the Swan's wall on the Island, has polar bears, an inverted Buddha, mountain peaks, and the word Namaste on it. It and the third painting are on the wall opposite of the bar. Many viewers initially thought that the Namaste was written backwards. In the actual filming and the majority of the scene, the painting appears to Desmond's left, with Namaste written correctly. In initial shots the film was reversed, causing the painting to appear on Desmond's right with Namaste written backwards. It is unknown if this was intentional or not.

― Captain Purple Items (nu_onimo), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

In the orientation films they say "Thank you, namaste, and good luck" - namaste is a Hindi salutation.

― Captain Purple Items (nu_onimo), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

There have been a lot of paintings of a similar style in LOST (Hatch wall mural, this one, Claire's babydaddy's paintings, etc) - I think this is because they were all painted by director Jack Bender.

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Jack Bender

big clue here

― resumo impetus (blueski), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

hahahahaha

― nklshs (nklshs), Monday, 19 February 2007 18:14 (seventeen years ago) link

oh now i remember what i was going to say last week: rousseau *captured* ben. so either: no they've never met or: he raised alex 'as a father or: it was an inside job, rousseau helped benry get inside the losties' camp.

yeah but IRL we know that this whole scenerio was written, shot, and aired with the intention of benry being a minor character.

― Rick Gibralter (grady), Monday, 19 February 2007 19:06 (seventeen years ago) link

my co-workers have just discovered 'heroes' and are saying it's better than 'lost'. this in itself, without me having even to watch 'heroes', had reminded me to be stauch.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Rolling moron co-worker thread

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, there's a little groundswell re: Heroes being the new Lost because it comes fast & furious w/ the twists AND puts out, instead of waiting for the right time to make w/ the revelations.

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

They are both teh awesome.

LOST has the brainz, Heroes brings teh ham. But I would take Lost over Heroes any day.

― Stuck in ILX Limbo (Roz), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't even seen Heroes, I'm just being a goof.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:33 (seventeen years ago) link

They are definitely of an ilk, and I think Heroes may be more instantaneously gratifying to watch. But I've yet to have Heroes dreams, whereas, in sleep, I can't excape teh JACK FACE.

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:37 (seventeen years ago) link

no, i watched heroes all weekend, it's much more satisfying

characters don't hold back figuring out things, or walk past relevant clues to the shows mysteries without noticing them

same themes, time/fate, etc, much less frustrating

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:38 (seventeen years ago) link

if all the characters in lost just sat down and had a long conversation about everything, they could figure it all out

this happens in heroes

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

But LOST viewers haven't figured it out, how could the characters?

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

certainly not the viewers fault

i watch heroes and i detect a new plot line, immediately i get all defensive like i'm watching lost and i'll never figure out what's going on for like another six episodes or a whole season--

but they don't stretch it out like that

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sick of people saying Heroes is better. What, do you want me to watch TV all the time?
