Lost

Is there actually going to be a three way war?

1) Jacob-ites
2) Smokey-ites
3) Widmore-ites

Or do two of the groups form an alliance?

Much of it doesn't make sense. Of course, I thought the same thing after the pilot and I'm still watching.

Lost

I'm starting to get an "Old Testament God" feeling from Jacob. He seems spiteful. "I'll save your son, but you'll never see him again." Whatever Richard had to give up to seemingly live forever. The original good-vs-evil of Jacob-vs-MIB, seemed too easy, and I think we're seeing flaws in Jacob that make it not so cut an dried.

Lost

I was worried that after the 2nd replay of the explosion that the whole episode was going to be multiple "versions" of the outcome. I was glad there was no third replay.
I liked the cameos (Boone, Desmond, Arzt etc.) but get the feeling that this might be the only final season appearance for most of them.
It seems the Sayid is the new Jacob to counteract Locke is the new Man in Black seems a little too easy. Hopefully it is a little more than that.
I think it is obvious that everyone is better off on the island (well maybe not the people who died...) their lives in LA do not seem to be too exciting.
It will be interesting to see how much time is spent on their LA lives. Or if it will quickly get to them into realizing they need to fly back.
You need to get a lap top or a tv in near your computer so we can start Lost Liveblogging...

Didn't Richard mention his mother being pregnant while helping Jack and Kate? I thought there was something like that...

LOST

Was Faraday's sibling mentioned? I don't remember that.

lost

and what was with the 2 Charlie references?



does fake Locke = man #2 (definitely) = black smoke (possibly) = ghosts seen on the island (maybe)



Was Hurley involved in the gunplay? I didn't see him shooting anyone... Probably driving, but he never got out of the van?



Who is Faraday's sibling? Do we know that?

Lost bracket

No these are the selections I made. I tried to do a little thought into the seeding/bracket building. There was a main plane 815 bracket, the remaining brackets all had a large group of similars - others, externals, freighter along with the miscellaneous people to make 8 in a bracket. Then I seeded by who I felt was the "leadiest" character in the group.
I made my picks on who I liked best.
I think you can select edit or something and make your own picks on that bracket...

Did you watch last night? I thought it was very good.

Lost Bracket

Here's the dead on Lost bracket, I'm sure I missed some people.

Bracket Smackdown

With the summer months making topics dwindle - I think it might be time to branch out into Stoney and Wojo's realm - a bracket. There's a book out, The Final Four of Everything, that apparently has all sorts of bracketed lists of the bests of everything. They allow the common folk to create their own brackets for whatever they want on this website http://www.bracketsmackdown.com/#/HOME/

Maybe we can start with mainish characters who have died on Lost..

Trying to brainstorm the bracket:
Mr Ecko, Faraday, Charlotte, Locke, Boone, Boone's sister, Charlie, that couple with the poisonous spider, other who took pregnant Claire

I've become really bad with names -

lost, horrible

Yeah, the remembering everyone is an obvious problem. Maybe they do have an answer. We know that thought of that question. Hurley asked Miles a question about that last week or two weeks ago.

It is still a very good show.

Have you seen Dr. Horrible? I don't know how popular is really is, but I just watched it last weekend. It is great.

lost and Michael J Fox

Michael J Fox was interviewed in Entertainment Weekly about his guest starring role on Rescue Me. They asked about other shows he would be like to be on. He thought about Lost but said whenever they're doing something about time travel he expects Christopher Lloyd to come along, "Great Scott, Faraday, we've damaged the flux capacitor!!!" I thought that was pretty funny.
You should track all the potential Lost time travel problems so that when the show resolves it all we can say "but they didn't answer why Alex didn't remember Sawyer/Lefevre before she got shot..."

lost

That idea about Miles getting himself off the island is possible. I think yesterday's episode was good, too, but I think that whole 'Miles sees Miles' tells you exactly what is wrong with the time travel plot. I hate time travel things where they say there are rules, but then there aren't. In y our scenario, for instance, Miles' mom would see Miles grown up and say "Wow, you look just like the man that helped us off the island. His name was Miles, too." Stupid.

I really like the whole "shadow of the statue" group. Who the heck are they? Why did they know to be on the plane that crashed? Why did they want Said? etc, etc, etc.

Jack could have said "I don't know Kate, but she just seems like someone who cares."

Hurley is still the best character.

Lost - spoiler alert if you haven't seen 4/15 episode

I thought Lost was pretty good last night. I really enjoyed Hurley's attempts to get Miles and Dr. Candle to interact during the car ride. And having Faraday show up on the sub - OUTSTANDING.

My co-worker had a good idea - do you think Miles (adult Miles) somehow gets young Miles and his mother off the island?

lost

With all of the things Ben has done in his long, evil life, shooting Desmond in the shoulder is really no big deal. In fact, if he hadn't shot Desmond, Penolope wouldn't have seen him, Charley wouldn't have come out of the living quarters, and Ben wouldn't have put down the gun. If anything, Desmond should be thanking him for saving his wife's life by shooting him when he did.

How could somebody commit suicide then work for Obama. Is this a Lost plotline?

Lost confusion and House

So I just found out at lunch from my co-worker that Desmond actually did get shot. I had forgotten we had a EBS test crash our cable for about 3 minutes last night. When it came back Desmond was pounding Ben and they fell in to the water. I didn't see he actually got shot!

Now I change it to Ben apologized for shooting him - sorry for my confusion...

House is very good (and he and his boss mention meeting at Michigan!) One of his team committed suicide as a complete surprise in the last episode. Apparently the actor (Kal Penn) is now working for the Obama administration - weird.

LOST

If Ben didn't kill Des' family, then what is there to apologize for? Was it thrown in there just so we could all assume something really bad would happen? And then nothing did? That's what is seems like to me.

Your said:
"I think they're using Richard's "he'll never be the same or remember any of this" comment to Sawyer to explain why Ben doesn't remember any of them."
If so, that is weak. Though it is possible.

You said:
"I wonder if Faraday killed himself or something - didn't Sawyer make a face about him when asked or did I just make that up?" I don't remember. I know something was mentioned about him, but I can't remember what is was. At the time I remember thinking it probably meant something.

Your Said:
"Speaking of Suicide, do you watch House?" No. I have heard nothing but good about that show, but have never seen it.

I like the 'here's 3 answers and 2 more questions' method of Lost right now. It is the way the show should be. Some of the wrapups are a little abrupt, but at least they are being addressed.

Lost

I don't think Ben killed any of the Hume clan. I think he apologized for the whole situation.

I wonder if we'll see Ethan's conversion to Otherdom - maybe he just tagged along with Ben sometime and it was either kill him or accept him and Richard decided to accept him.

I thought the stealing of Alex was pre Dharma killing (I thought he looked like he was supposed to be younger than when he gassed them), but now that you mention it, it probably makes more sense that it was after.

I think they're using Richard's "he'll never be the same or remember any of this" comment to Sawyer to explain why Ben doesn't remember any of them.

Not sure about the "shadow of the statue" people - I assume it will lead us to the 4-toed statues, though. I wonder if the guy Ben shot is dead or if he'll be another Islander survivor...

I wonder if Faraday killed himself or something - didn't Sawyer make a face about him when asked or did I just make that up?

Speaking of Suicide, do you watch House?

Lost

Why would Ben tell Sun to apologize to Desmond? Just for shooting him? Really. I almost feel like there is more to it. But I don't see them revisiting that scene. I don't think he killed Penny. Or little Charley (who is named after his father's friend, as well as his grandfather).

So, Ben stole Alex on his own. But when did Ethan become an other. I couldn't tell how old Ben looked. Was the stealing of Alex pre or post Dharma-gassing?

Where's Said?

And what's the deal with the new group on the beach that seem to know something?

Did Ben really not know about Jack and the gang being in Dharma in the 70s? If not, then this time travel thing is just too illogical.

Where's Faraday (in the 70s)?

So, the monster allowed Ben to live, but not Eko. Interesting.
