So we lose Eko and gain a couple featuring a hot babe? Fair trade. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Did any ugly women survive the plane crash?

What a brilliant episode ! Who do you trust, Juliet or Ben? I've always had my money on Ben. There were so many twists and turns in last night's episode, I wouldn't even know where to begin discussing all of them.

For you Nikki and Paolo fans, here's a great thread we have going over at Lost-TV

Remember when Nikki and Paolo..........

I thought last week episode was just ok but this week rocked! And next week looks killer!

I cracked a smile when Ben asked Jack if he realised tha Juliet looks like his ex wife cause i remember someone here noted that after the season premiere.

That was me. I was jumping up and down and saying to my daughter, "I SO TOLD YOU SO!". [img]wink.gif[/img]

I'm still trying to figure out if those x-rays were a set up or not. Right now I suspect Juilet is doing the manipulating. To what end though? Is she more obsessed than Ben?

Ben's God theory was pretty interesting. So the island is God? [img]wink.gif[/img]

Maybe the tumor isn't life threatening as long as Ben remains on the island. Perhaps he wants it removed so he can leave.

I HATE that they killed off Ecko.
What the hell is that black cloud/fog?
I trust Juliet more than Ben, but not entirely.
What did it say exactly at the end of the show last night?, I swear I thought I saw "season finale" or something similar.....anyone else see that?, if so; what's it mean?
November 2nd, 2006, 03:59 PM

It said Fall Finale.

After next week the show goes on hiatus for a while....

I said this last year, but last night's episode reconfirmed it for me - go watch Forbidden Planet and you'll know what's up with the smoke monster.

As to Juliette, here's what I think is happening...

- Juliet was pushed aside by Colleen at some point in the not too distant past. She was Ben's woman (wife?), but Colleen took the number 2 spot, hence all the bad blood we saw in a number of scenes this year, and the reason for the almost tears of Juliet at the very beginning of the very first episode.

- Juliet has wanted Ben out of the way for awhile, either because he really is a bad man, or because she has her own nefarious plan. I don't trust her, but I do believe she wants Ben dead.

- Ben was captured last year, but because of Colleen, she couldn't do it then with any sort of botched rescue attempt. Colleen in fact may have been the one that orchastrated the whole plan with Michael and Walt, since it couldn't have been Ben. He was in captivity, and whomever did do it, had a pretty twisted mind as well.

- So Juliet just has to suck it up and go along, at least while both Ben and Colleen are alive and kicking. But then Colleen gets herself shot, and Juliet sees her chance.

- Juliet is a nurse, and full well new that there was no way Jack could save Colleen. She broght Jack to Colleen without talking to Ben - remember his surprise and anger that she let him out? She did that so he's see the x-rays, knowing he'd have to know more, and intefering with Ben's plans to twist Jack around.

- Colleen does die, and that might have been even helped along by Juliet - if she wants Jack to do something like that to Ben, it would be obvious that she'd be willing to do it herself as well. Convienently, the crash cart is 'broken'.

- with Colleen dead, Juliet can make her move with Jack, trying to convince him to kill Ben. With all that Ben has done to Jack and the survivors, it's not too much of a stretch for her to convince him to believe her. Now she just has to convince him to kill.

For the first time this season, I'm actually interested in what's happening with the Others.

Yep, monster of the Id. Being unconsciously driven by one or more of the people on the island. Ben is definitely Morbius. But unlike FP, I think the plane crash survivors are also psychic enough to be doing their own dance with the monster, without Ben's involvement.

On FP you have a planet with a big humming underground machine that focuses psychic energy. Hell, it even looks like the hatches! It's spooky how similar some of it is.

I don't believe it's psychic ability that drives the monster. I think it's strong emotions or internal strife. In other words, anybody can conjure the monster...not just ones with psychic talents or abilities.

In my case, the monster would take form of all these hot naked babes. [img]wink.gif[/img]

... so is it possible that the vaccine protects one from 'invoking' the monster?

Also there are some bounds, since it seemingly never attacked anyone in the hatch or the 'Others' (they don't seem to concerned about it).

Okay, what about the polar station that noted the magnetic release back at the end of the season? They called someone (that looked like Jack's wife) and mentioned there was a problem...

I don't think it was Jack'S wife, it was Desmond ex. I thought it meant Desmond's ''father in law'' was part of Dharma and that there was a way of communicating with the real world (outside the island)

I was under the impression that Desmond's ex's father was responsible for him ending up on the island in the first place.

I also think "The Others" answer to a higher power such as Desmond's ex's father. Or maybe even Desmond's ex may be a player here.

Did eveyone on the island forget about Jack's missing deceased father and the power cable that runs into the ocean?

That's one thing that gets me. Why haven't they explored the island more? I would have been all over that island in the time they've spent there so far. Screw the monsters!

Could yesterday's episode have been any more "underwhelming"?

....and how in the F*CK can they justify going on a 12 week hiatus?!?

The previews didn't show much so I'm betting they need those 12 weeks for some better writing ideas.

I'm so sick of the love triangle thingy with Jack, Sawyer & Kate.

I was gracious and gave it a five when I probably should have given it a zero. A cliffhanger that would make you scream? I screamed all right, I screamed 'You have to be kidding me.' at my TV. A shark jumping moment? Sorry, didn't see one. Alex attacks with a slingshot? Scary !! Is that another lame biblical reference? Almost as lame as a new persona called Jacob. Kate's wedding/marshal call/hubby drugging......... any point to any of that?

When the show first aired and Damon said the original outline was only twenty pages, a record low for show development, I thought, wow these guys are brilliant to go this far on only a twenty page outline. Now I think that maybe they don't really know where they're going at all. I've gotten to the point where I can no longer accept unexplained plots by saying, 'Oh, those silly Losties just never investigate things.' Well the Losties only do what the writers write.

I'm beginning to believe I'm the victim of the Longest Con, that being just how long they'll con me into continuing to watch.

wow...and i was going to post ''Isn't LOST the best tv show ever?''

I thought only one of the 6 episodes this fall was so so (the one with Sawyer's baby story)

I wasn't expecting a fall finally as exciting as a season finale. Maybe you guys had too much expectation. I thought it was a good episode.

Watching Survivors for the last few years, I've learned to stop expecting great things from commentaries during previews

By the way, I think we would be less tired of the love triangle if we were watching it many episodes at a time. We've been following for 2 years and half but they're only been on the island about 70 days now.

Asking the marshal to stop chasing her would have been really nice if the concept had been grounded in any form of reality. Next time I'm a fugitive, remind me to do two things: call the person chasing me and ask them to stop, and marry a cop. That should solve the problem.

Quoted from another forum

Quote:

Great, great episode. Kate's flashback's served as a nice frame for the island story, and the Catch Me If You Can moment with the Marshall where she asked him to stop chasing her was really nice. Kate is born to run, and when she stays in one place for too long, things get bad. People she cares about get hurt. I love the idea that she left the man she loved when she thought she was going to hurt him, and that she couldn't do it again to the next man. And the ending works nicely becuase once she finally decides to dig her heels in and not leave without Jack (another man she possibly loves?), what happens? He tells her to run. Fantastic bit of thematic writing, that is.
