It's been what, five or six weeks since we've had a new episode? In the meantime I have gotten a new 'Dharma' hoodie which I'll be wearing during tonight's episode. I'm not sure I'll watch the one hour recap episode at eight, but I'll probably geek out and do it anyway.
My poor daughter is in the middle of finals this week. She's my "Lost" buddy and I don't know if she can afford an hour away from her studies. She'll probably watch it with me and stay up later. Poor girl. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I HATE the recap shows but the 2nd one was worth the wait!
Mr. Echo is one bad motha'!
That was fucking amazing. Eko is one bad mofo and has cojones of steel. I'm totally back into the show and can't wait till next week.
Damn.. and the Lost TV forum has just crashed.
Was it my imagination or were there flashes of images of people in that smoke monster?
I saw people in the smoke too Andy.
Kinda reminds me of my university days. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
You saw the same thing I saw Andy.... In fact, that was the only redeeming thing about said smoke monster. Other than that, I was really really pissed to see it.
I recently got hooked on Lost... I got the season one DVD set and watched all the episodes in 3 or 4 days. LOVED it.
I'd only seen one or two episodes from this season, so the recap was helpful for me.
I really like the Mr. Echo character and his tortured background (although it's interesting that his backstory was fleshed out so much in one episode as opposed to the fragmented method of the first season.)
When I saw the smoke monster, the first thing I thought was... This is a popular show... CAN'T THEY AFFORD BETTER SPECIAL EFFECTS???
Honestly, I was waiting for the "tree monster" to be some kind of machinery or something, until the episode where the trees were actually disappearing INTO the ground.
I hope Lost didn't just "Jump the Smoke". [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I was expecting a big dino or something. Maybe the smoke transforms into various beasts?
The smoke does go with the nano-technology theories out there.
Yesterday was the first time I listened to LOST and I didn't get the begining of the show, I started when the smoke thing appeared... so you could say I'm a little lost myself...
The questions that really bothers me thought is what's up with the Virgin Mary statue?
Those Virgin Mary statues are filled with heroin from a drug smuggling plane that crashed on the island. Charlie is a heroin addict who had just recovered from his addiction on the island. Now he's hording the statues in a possible relapse.
Thanks!
And while I'm at it... what's the deal with the black guy in front of the old computer? (last question, promise! [img]smile.gif[/img] )
Grail...you really should have watched the 1 hour recap before the show. There are just too many details to explain here. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I can't go back in time damn it!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I'll probably get some clue here and there as the season goes by [img]smile.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Very quick recap - at the end of last season, 4 of them left on a raft. Michael (the guy you're talking about) and his son Will were 2 of them. "The Others" attacked them in a fishing boat and took Will. Will has supposidly been talking to him on the computer.Quote:

Oh... ok! I knew about the raft thing, I think I saw that in one of the other Lost threads.
Thanks!
I think the black smoke works... I was under the impression that whatever it was that was in the forest was tailored to each individual's greatest fear... and since Mr. Eko apparently has no fear there was nothing for it to work with.
Interesting interpretation Spore....
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I guess that would explain Walt's polar bear (from the comic he was reading) too.Quote:

But why did it try to drag Locke under ground?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If that be true...wouldn't Mr. Eko fear God or his brother? Unless you consider that more like guilt than fear.Quote:

Maybe that also explains Jack seeing his Dad all over the place...
Hmmmm...did Shannon and the others secretly fear Walt? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
Maybe Eko fears that he lost his soul, and that's what the black cloud was - his soul.
Id's love to get a closer look at the people in the clouds to see if they were people from his flashbacks, or people that died on the island.
The smoke monster had images of Eko as a kid, the guy he shot, a church and him holding his shot brother inside it.

However, perhaps Shannon feared him drowning out on the raft... which would explain the water...
