bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 what a great fucking episode. This may be my favorite, lots of mysteries tied together. I wonder if the off-island connectsion between the survivors means anything or if they are just little things dropped by the writers for fun. Boone + Sawyer = in the same police station when Sawyers arrested. Jack + Sawyer = Saywer met Jack's dad in a bar. Jack + Jin = in the same line at the airport Jin + Hurley = Hurley on TV when Jin comes to the guy's house to 'deliver the message' Hurley + Locke = Hurley owns share in his box company What an awesome effin show.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 I definitely agree that last night's episode was a top 5-er ... just awesome from beginning to end. Locke, as usual, OWNS this show. The whole "making a crib with Claire's help but not tell her that it's a crib" scheme was awesome. As is the fact that he's really only interested in what she remembers about Ethan and the other parts of the island (well, that's not true, I think that he also really enjoys being able to give sage advice and make other people's lives better ... but if it helps him at the same time, all the better.) The entire Hurley goes looking for the "French chick" plot was awesome from beginning to end; his interaction with Charlie while filling up the water bottles all the way through to "she says 'hey' ". And how about the fact that Shannon actually looked worried about Sayid before he left? Maybe she's not just using him, as Boone warned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 It's getting a little silly how everyone's stories have to tie into each others. I like the idea better that they're all just there by chance. And while I'm all for supernatural stuff on the island, like Locke's legs. It's a little cheesy with Hurley's cursed numbers and Walt's shinning. Loooong time till a new ep I believe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Locke is awesome. Guess what? HE'S NOT A GOOD GUY. He is just trying to get close to Claire to find out about Ethan. The man has alterior motives. He is a total Brother Justin (thats for you, Curry). --he IS a good guy. Just because you use someone, doesn't mean it's for evil. I think Locke's a little more forward thinking than the rest...plus...how do we know claire isn't turned? Episode 4=Locke Episode 16=Sawyer Remember what the Frenchwoman said...the numbers in a loop. Start by breaking the numbers down to prime... (that's all I'll say) The entire Hurley goes looking for the "French chick" plot was awesome from beginning to end; his interaction with Charlie while filling up the water bottles all the way through to "she says 'hey' ". --Ditto. The speech he gave to her was excellent And how about the fact that Shannon actually looked worried about Sayid before he left? Maybe she's not just using him, as Boone warned. --And if my understand of Lost is right...he will have to choose between her life and his (to complete his story) at some point. The numbers are significant. 23 is the only prime number, so that's the most important one of all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Locke's a little more forward thinking than the rest...plus...how do we know claire isn't turned? He is SO evil. If he was good, he'd be upfront with his intentions. Thus far he has been manipulative and has been positioning the chess pieces. The fact that he has been so good to everyone, over-the-top good, just means he's all the more evil.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Exactly. I think. I have no idea how to play the game. Locke sees the value of good and evil. If he has to be evil to get the others to be good, he'll do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 That's just taking one for the team Rudo-man! I do agree that he is positioning pieces (more like a game of othello)...but I think that's because of what he knows. But I completely don't view his actions as evil.

starvenger 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 But I completely don't view his actions as evil. The worst kind of evil is when you convince yourself that what you're doing is right and it's in everyone else's best interest that you do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Regina Phelange Report post Posted March 6, 2005 About those numbers...8 and 15..."815" was the flight number, right? And the number of the safety deposit box Kate robbed the bank for. And 42....how many survivors are left on the island now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edotherocket 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2005 Inspired by John Locke I bought a copy of Backgammon yesterday. It came in a swanky attache with these leather dice rollers and everything. I swear the game seems to be mostly about luck but so far I am 0-3 against my girlfriend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyways, there's some sort of mathematical aspect to it, but damned if I know what it is. I count cards alot. Basically you have to know what cards are taken, how many cards are out, which cards, and then you determine the odds of said other cards being in the person's hand.

Guest PWTimes Report post Posted March 15, 2005 From DVDanswers.com "Buena Vista Home Entertainment have scheduled the Region 1 DVD release of Lost: The Complete First Season for 6th September 2005 priced at $59.99 SRP. The hit new series from J.J.Abrams, the creator of Alias, is currently thrilling American audiences with its combination of deep characterisation, beautiful locations and a string of events with circumstantial relevance that generate hours of discussion amongst viewers. Coming to DVD in September, the complete first season is expected to feature an excellent DVD presentation capitalising on the 'made for HDTV' nature and high budget of the series, while extras - though not official - were revealed recently on Home Media Retailing and should include "five hours of bonus material, including the original pilot, behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the show; audio commentaries, a blooper reel, roundtable discussions with cast and crew, and a Matthew Fox photography featurette".

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 If you want to know, read on. Potentially season-exposing spoilers ahead. The strongest rumour going around right now about who kicks it is Sayid, mainly due to two things I've read. The first rumour surrounding him is that JJ Abrams has said that the death will be a betrayl. Shannon betraying Sayid is a pretty good bet at this point. The second part of this rumour has to do with Jack. Sayid's episode was originally called "Sides" but is now changed to "The Greater Good". In "All the best cowboys have daddy issues" Jack's dad tells him that his job is all about the greater good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a probability aspect to both, but to me it's a little more apparent in poker. And I'm still sticking with Hurley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
