Since I have only seen season 1 on dvd, I have done my best to avoid everything that talks about season 2 until I can watch it from start to finish.
This board is not helping!

Same here until I splurged and subscribed to season 2 on itunes to get all caught up. I didn't get much work done for a couple of days.

Who's on the boat?
Apparently for the third season, ABC is not going have lapses in between the new episodes. They are going to show 7 straight new episodes in the fall and 7 in the spring.

Thank goodness...I almost quit the season due to all the breaks, catch up episodes. And then inevitably I missed two new episodes when they finally aired.

Yeah, but now we'll have one huge break in the middle of the season. Is that really better? I'm not so sure.
-
i cant wait, that show has casued a lost of sleep and a lost of work due to my high amounts of web surfing those crazy hansbro (sp) websites.
a year ago someone had the same thead here about lost... god how time flys.
the 1st lost show i watched was the last show of the 1st season and i was hooked, a great great show.
-
I think Desmond is on the boat. Apparently he has some interesting things to tell. I am definitely excited to see the finale tonight. I can't imagine they'll blow my mind in the same was as the Season 1 finale ("We're gonna have to take the boy" changed everything), but the writers constantly surprise me, so who knows! Does anyone listen to the official podcasts? They are terrific.
One thing: I don't like this new direction for Eko.
-
Yeah, the new direction of Eko is odd. Hopefully it will not last. Maybe he will see the map tonight?
I have listened to the podcasts once or twice, but didn't really see the point. It seemed like they skirted around questions. Have they gotten better?

What is the single most memorable quote from Lost for you?
Mine is "Well then it's a good thing that we found you. The thing is, we're going to have to take the boy."
My wife likes "Light 'em up!"
-
Mine isn't a quote; it's the end of episode that first introduced the numbers. When the camera zoomed in on the hatch and showed the numbers etched there, I nearly freaked out. It's the single moment that made me realize I was hopelessly in love with the show.

Sawyer...
-"we got enough food to open a mini mart....you think sayid needs a job?"
-"A doctor playing golf!? Whoo boy howdy, now I've heard everything! What's next? A cop eatin' a donut?"
-"Sorry. Fresh out of sweet forgiveness."
-"Better than the three of you wandering into the magical forest to bag a hunk of ham with nothin' but a little bitty hunting knife? HELL no! It's the best idea I've ever heard!"
-"Probably bear village...how the hell should I know!?"
-"Why am I getting the evening news from a 6 year old?" Walt says: "I'm ten." Sawyer: "Well then it must be true!"
-Jack: "Do you know how to handle a gun or not?" Sawyer: "I know at least one polar bear who seems to think so."
-
As much as I hate every woman loving Sawyer's "character," I do laugh every time he throws a new nickname someone's direction.

I love everything that Sawyer says.
Desmond is on the boat. I think there's going to be a connection between him and Libby and that he's going to be part of the reason she was in the mental hospital.
The numbers episode is one of my favorites as well.
This is my favorite show since Twin Peaks.
-
So do you think the boat they see the boat that Desmond was racing around the world?
-
Many quotes from Sawyer, one directed at Hurley a few weeks ago, although mean, one of the best crafted.
I always laugh at "Have a Cluckety, Cluck Day." :)
-
Yes, that is my guess. The boat Michael was talking about is a power boat.
-
Yeah,
I guess the boat he wants was the one that they were n when they took Walt.
-
Do you think there's going to be a volcano explosion, or a tsunami at the end?
-
woah, where'd those 2 come from? are you still talking about tonight's episode?
-
from some sourceless newsweek article, one of the writers, i think , speaking.
"We are going to tell you why the plane crashed," says Cuse. "We're going to explain what happens if you don't push the button. And we're going to resolve the Michael-and-Walt story." (Michael's son, Walt, was kidnapped by "the others" in last year's season finale and has been missing ever since.)
-
I have just heard that the final episode is going to be violent and something really crazy is going to happen. Plus, the science-y guy who blew off his hand made a reference to tsunami season when they were building the raft.
That, and I'm a huge dork about this show.
Todd McFarlane is making Lost action figures.
-
Well, I don't think that either would have caused the plane to crash. I was thinking that it had something to do with Dharma and the black smoke
-
so, what is this lost that y'all are talking about?
-
I meant to say who blew himself up...
-
I'm not saying that either thing will have anything to do w/ the plane crash, I just think that's what's going to happen at the very end. Just a thought.
I'm guessing that Dharma people brought the plane down to get to Walt.
-

OK, I am with you know. I always thought a good ending to the show would be the sound of the fasten seat belt sign coming from an airplane and a pilot announcing that Oceanic Air flight 815 is preparing to land at LAX..as that happens, you see Jack wake up on the plane. as they get off the plane, you see all the poeple he was dreaming about on the island get off the plane
-
AHHH I hate those "it was just a dream" endings...makes all the drama seem almost pointless to me.

haven't the writers already said that it wasn't a dream?

I figured it would have something to do with the magnet. they keep showing the magnetism of the hatch or something, gotta be something there.
-
Planes are made of aluminum and aren't magnetic.
The producers have said it's not a dream, it's not purgatory, and it's not all going on in someone's mind.
Which is good, because any of them would've really ticked me off.
-
Originally posted by K8teebug:

well that magnet means something dontcha think? they show it too much for it to be nothing.
and i am not really saying there is a "magnet" on the island, but just referring to the magnetic pull that seems to be present in certain areas.
-
I think a magnetic pull would make more sense. Not that the plane was magnetic. That's what some people out there are saying.
And, if you look at that crazy website thing (too much happens over there for me to keep track). But, there is a map and a hidden section on the map shows Dharma projects in what looks like the Bermuda triangle.
There's some scenes from tonight's episode up on aol now. Lost Extras (http://television.aol.com/feature/lost_tv)

I don't know, in the end I wasn't all that gripped. It was 10:57 and I thought, "oh, any minute will be the "jump out of your seat" moment!" And, nothing.
Don't want to give away any spoilers as I'm sure a lot of folks probably taped or tivo'd it, but "eh".
-
I agree a bit; I loved the entire show, and thought in a lot of ways it was better than last year's finale. Still, the very very ending didn't leave me with a feeling like staring down the hatch did...

Is Desmond a goner?
-
I'd think no; it would be weird to show his backstory and then off him right away. Of course, after Libby and Ana Lucia, who knows?

And we all know that that Kelvin guy was the same US military guy that Sayid dealt with in Iraq, right?

HUH? You see, I'm a bad Lost viewer. I make the obvious connections, but miss so much... Back at the beginning of the season I watched one episode at a friend's house and they were talking about Hurley's lottery numbers being the numbers mumbled over and over by another patient. I SO hadn't noticed that!!
-
With showing events happening off of the island that weren't just flashbacks, they've done a good bit to try and dispel the purgatory and alien abduction theories. But there are WAAAAAAAYYYYY too many backstory overlaps and coincidences to have a non-supernatural explanation.
EDIT: Well, at least an explanation that isn't terrible...

i'm with you... up until last night i wasn't tuned into the websites that track all the activities on lost and quickly found out how many connections etc there are. they need to do a pop-up version of the series at some point...

I hear you....God knows, all those 'coincidences' and overlapping lives is why I hated "Crash"
-
I stay away from spoilers like the plague, but I do occassionally check the connections. I dont' think I've ever missed an episode, but there are ones that I missed on first viewing. God bless DVDs.

I love LOST, but I was watching AI at the same time and so I missed some stuff, like when Libby and Desmond were talking. So now I'm "lost" with the Libby backstory, although it seems like she was everywhere. I'm just glad that they found out that Michael killed AL and Libby, but they sure forgave him pretty quickly. As for showing 7 episodes at once, great, then we'll have a much needed break and then wind up the season with 7 more. I too hated the reruns and missing the new ones, even though I'm in the fan club, sometimes I would miss the dates that the new ones were airing.
-
I am pretty sure that it has been confirmed that Desmond will be a regular character next season...
I was a bit disappointed last night that the scene where Jack was shown firing his gun at something in the previews last week, turned out to be him just shooting into the woods.
Other than that, I thought it was a pretty good finale. There was no way they would tie up everything neatly. They have 3-4 more seasons to go. They left me wondering, where is home for the hostiles? Where will Mike and Walt end up if they follow the part Faux Henry told them to take? Why did they just let Walt go? What does Whidmore Construction/Pregnancy Tests have to do with the island?

Wait until you guys find out the Claire is Jack's half-sister.
-
i thought the coolest part was when they found all of the notebooks in the tubes....really gave a mysterious "what is real and what isnt" feel to the whole show.
i dont think there will be some supernatural explanation of the whole thing. at least, i hope not. I am not a fan of the "supernatural" i want to be confused all the way til the end and be like "ohhhh, shit, THATS what happened!!!" and have it have been right there all along.

Desmond will be back next season...

or the fact the the whole island is like a snow globe...like the truman (sp) show.

doesnt really matter what we think casue those damn pot head writers will just write in or write off a character and make up whatever they want, thats why they had the C Dickens novel, casue he wrote from chapter to chapter...
-
I hear you....God knows, all those 'coincidences' and overlapping lives is why I hated "Crash"
You should've hated Crash because it was a terrible film.
That said, I liked the season finale. I thought that they left us for alot to think about over the summer.
Desmond isn't dead. He's how we'll learn the rest of the Libby backstory next season.
-
for the most part, Libby's done = she has a full time roll on a new show.
same for Michael.
Desmond is returning full-time to Lost in the Fall.

Ditto -- I think that was my fave part.

yeah, i'm pretty sure both walt and michael are off the show...that was their farewell. their story has been told, and honestly, if i heard the phrase "my boy!" one more time, i was going to murder somebody.
-
I agree too, Michael and Walt will only be back on the show if they are involved in the ending of the entire series, such as , them actually getting help.
i find it funny that no one even expects them to be rescued anymore, and in fact, i dont think anyone WANTS them getting rescued anymore!

But what about all this "Walt is so special" crap. What was with Walt and the others...?
-
You don't think Michael will go all Lando Calrissian style and redeem himself?
For Bags, they've never specifically said what Walt's deal is, but it's been highly hinted he's gifted. There have been several occassions (the bird in Australia, the polar bear, and him playing backgammon with Hurley and Locke) where things he's been thinking of have happened, no matter how unlikely.

From the New York Times today:
During a visit to New York City last week, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the executive producers who run "Lost," said they got the idea of the deathbed reading of "Our Mutual Friend" from an interview with the writer John Irving in which he said he was saving it for last. But besides paying tribute to Mr. Irving, they were eager to refer to Dickens for their own narrative purposes.
"He was writing chapter by chapter for newspapers," Mr. Cuse said. "We often think: 'How much did Dickens know when he was writing his stories? How much of it was planned out, and how much was flying by the seat of his pants because he had to get another chapter in?' " He paused, then said with a laugh, "We can respect what he went through."
-
Actually, it was "my son", not "my boy".
Black people don't like the be called "boy" by white people. (Yes, Michael is black, but the shows writers are white.)

Nah, I thought good riddance! Yet, curious if the boat will turn right back due to the pull of the island. If it does, he will suffer for eternity on the island!
I didn't sense anyone forgave him, basically - time and place for everything. (they were hunting hostiles) Give Hurley time, he'll rage on him. If Michael does return, me thinks the castaways will have their first jailhouse. (Well, second if you count the room Henry was in).

Oh, believe me, he has said, "I gotta get MY BOY back." I know, b/c I too am gonna be sick if I have to hear that again. ("But he's my son! My son!" is the other)

With all of the single parent situations in the world, it's just heartening to see a black man actually take such an interest in his child.
-
I just finished Season 4. Out of the 4 seasons, this is probably my least favorite (I really didn't care for the flash forwards and it has some episodes that are very slow). At the same time, it has 2 or 3 episodes that will probably be on my fave LOST episodes ever. I'll be done with Season 5 by next weekend...just in time for Season 6 premiere. :P

Yes, I'm a big Lost fan and ready for the new season to begin ;D

That post was from May 2006. How were we supposed to know what a turd Michael would turn into in the subsequent three seasons of Lost?

Michael is definitely one of the worst that they have had.
Originally, I hated Jin. But now he is one of my favorites.
And it is still great, watching the whole series through a second time.
