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

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

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.

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.

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!!).

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?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

OH NO

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

jaymc otm. i ph34r heroes for that reason.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:45 (seventeen years ago) link

kind of hesitant to stroll into the heroes threads and start posting though, this is my home

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

(heroes is better)

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

I watch TV all the time. :(

I'm also a Grey's Anatomy addict which is incredibly sad.

― Stuck in ILX Limbo (Roz), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

'heroes' won't be on normal tv in the uk for a while and i can't be arsed to torrent it; but might watch it now.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

there's nothing reprehensible about keeping up with your serialized dramas

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:50 (seventeen years ago) link

What Cutty said.

Roz, from one (US?) GA fannie to another - was the 2nd part of that OMG MEREDITH FELL IN THE RIVER thing broadcast last week? I thought they rebroadcast Thursday's show on Friday (because ABC knows how to butter their bread), but instead I got a rerun of the 2-parter where the Friday Night Lights guy gets blowed the fuck up by a homemade bazooka shell.

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Desmond = Isaac - Charlie

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Daddy Chandra Suresh = Dr Marvin Candle x Christian Shephard

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

DL & Micah = Michael & Walt

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

cutty manages to keep up with 2nd tier UK comedy too -- give the man kudos.

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:57 (seventeen years ago) link

David, I'm not in the US but I'm guessing you mean what happened after she fell in the river, and whether Izzy kills the guy on the boat?

Yeah it was - at least, I dled it last Friday.

― Stuck in ILX Limbo (Roz), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:58 (seventeen years ago) link

was the 2nd part of that OMG MEREDITH FELL IN THE RIVER thing broadcast last week?

It was...on Thursday night. They usually rerun the newest ep on Fridays but not this past week for some reason. Oh okay I am busted as also a GA fan.

xpost

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I kind of hope they kill Nikki and then Linderman takes Micah so DL can be all "they took him...right out of my [phase shifting] hands!".

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Those sumbitches. (ABC, that is.)

Nick, if it makes you feel any better, GA employes a comic booky guy on their production / writing staff, just like Heroes & Lost.

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway LOST; I think the past two episodes, if not the structure of the season (the first 6 were really strong, but the 3 month gap was just too much), has really lost (lol) a lot of LOST's steam, but I think over the next few episodes - as they get back ~~to loser island~~ with Sayid and Locke who are obviously about to go on wicked awesome island exploration adventure - the satisfaction factor will leap.

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:03 (seventeen years ago) link

consider walt--

we know he is "special"
we know he has some "power"
we know he was put into a "room"

when was the last time we heard anything about him?

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:04 (seventeen years ago) link

It wasn't A room, it was THE room.
I'm thinking it was the BRANEWASH room, but I expect that's what they want us to think, and it was in fact some completely different room we still haven't seen.
Good old L O S T.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:05 (seventeen years ago) link

consider brother mouzone in 'the wire' though!

it's the same thing (if you want it to be).

― temporary enrique (temporary enrique), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

and iirc, no mention of Walt since S2 finale, to answer yr Q.
The others also got "more than they bargained for" when Walt joined them.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

naw, you knew mouzone was coming back, that's all you needed to know

― this is cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link
