bmags Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 08:33 PM) If you arent used to the commercials by now, dont watch tv. They revealed that the survivors that were captured were not killed, but made to "watch." They revealed that only work is done on the small island, and they usually dont even like coming there they revealed that Ethan was their old surgeon they revealed that there was someone other than Ben in charge of certain things they revealed what Jack's tat means and where it came from they revealed many of those people grew up there and didnt come from or have never seen the "real world." i cant even think of what else. I thought it was an awesome episode with a great lead in to the next one what do you mean by made to watch? they were there to watch the court. Again, we knew they didn't live on the small island from the first episode. Revealing things about ethan at this point is just thrown out there for no reason, he's a character from 2 seasons ago and adds nothing important to the story line anymore. And honestly who cares about jack's tattoos or the terrible acting of the asian woman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 09:54 AM) How was this a bad episode? They reveled not only where the others lived to the survivers, but revealed that they have yards, and a whole community. Then it was reveled that some of the captives are still alive and there to watch. I thought this was one of the best episodes yet, they are starting to reveal things to us and the survivors. Last night's episode is currently the second-lowest rated episode of the entire series at TV.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) I thought this episode was a little better than last week, but not much. And I thought last week's was the worst ever. The pace of this show has stalled big time. They're not telling us much of anything, the characters aren't going anywhere, and, in general, nothing is really going on. This used to be an adventure/ mystery/action/drama show, now its just become a lame drama. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 02:33 PM) If you arent used to the commercials by now, dont watch tv.

I thought it was an awesome episode with a great lead in to the next one We pretty much knew that they didn't kill people they took We knew they didn't live on that island Ethan is irrelevant The woman was revealed but nothing about her or what she does. We knew where his tatoos came from. We knew that some of them had lived their entire lives on the island. Why didn't Jack ask the stewardess, or Juliet, or anyone else about 1000 questions? What are they doing here? Why? Why did they take Jack? How do they know about him? etc. Instead, he just flips out and yells at people so that they can stall on giving an explanation for anything.

BobDylan Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 01:40 PM) I hope you know what you are getting yourself into. Haha. I'm somewhat addicted already. Have watched 14 episodes in 2 days, but I wish the plot would move more linear than explore different characers each episode. But with so many characters, I guess they don't really have a choice. I want to know what's inside that door Boone and Locke found. Nobody laugh that I'm so far behind, and nobody tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDylan Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 06:01 PM) LOL. The writers of the show said that they'll let it go 4 seasons, 5 at the very most. I wonder if they really do have it all planned out like they say or if they're sort of just making it up as they go -- that would leave a very unfulfilling ending. You must not write fiction.

BobDylan Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I have to say that season 2 is a tad boring. I was really, REALLY hoping the hatch was a time machine. That they were totally in a different time. Maybe they are. But s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedoctor Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The pace of this show has stalled big time. i blame a lot of that on the break. that was just a bad idea, imo. part of this show is predicated on momentum and taking that huge break sapped whatever momentum had been built. i hope next year they take a more similar approach to what they do with 24. taking that break just sucks. also, one poster noted the diminishing ratings the past two weeks. certainly the break influenced that, but i also think the later time slot is playing a role. television viewership declines at the top of each hour, so it makes sense that pushing lost back an hour would cost it viewers. to me the more important numbers are how it is doing against the competition in that time slot, and in that vein lost is still doing quite well.

bmags Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 there were 2 really bad episodes in season 2 but i thought it was a lot better than people gave credit for in some of my friend circles. I was encouraged by the first 2 episodes after break but pissed off after the third. Am ready for sayid to just kick ass. Why can't sayid just kick ass every episode!??!!?

People don't want to follow a story that they feel the writers have no idea where it is going. I just don't get this at all. How could they not know where it's going? How can they be so complex/intricate with their writing that EVERYTHING seems to have a double meaning, yet they have no vision of where the show is going. I think some things came up along the way that forced them to change the storyline a little. Actors doing dumb things off set (ana lucia), actors being unhappy (mr. eko) etc. They also aren't sure how long they have to tell the story, so they had to throw in some filler episodes to take up time. But all that said the major plot line is still progressing, albeit slower than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 That is a falsehood. The writers have plans for this show for seven seasons worth of episodes according to what I have read. This show is way too complex to just throw together week to week, or even season to season. The frame of these episodes has been figured out for years in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frame of these episodes has been figured out for years in advance. very true. i remember on the season 1 dvd's abrams said that very early on he and lindelof sat down and wrote out the entire story arc. at the time he said they put together a rough draft for i think seven seasons, but that could be expanded or retracted based on how they decided to get to the end. now, i will agree that the story has been slow moving. but that's just a function of this type of show. there are so many disparate story lines that it kind of has to be that way. i'd rather they take their time and tell a good story than cheapen everything by rushing to satisy people who need answers. edit: just found a good story about lost promos here Edited February 28, 2007 by thedoctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frame of these episodes has been figured out for years in advance. They have said the show will go 4 or, at the absolute, very most, 5 seasons. They don't want it to end up like the X-Files. And they keep claiming that they have these grand ideas, but it isn't adding up right now. I'm still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I wouldn't be shocked if the ending winds up seeming patched together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can some one send me a message telling me what happened? Spoiler: (details in white font) They push-start the car and get it running. Everyone seems "uplifted by it." Jin gives Sun a flower. Flash to Kate in the jungle, Locke and Sayid find her. They're following a compass heading based on the way light reflected off of Eko's "jesus stick" when he was being buried. Kate came looking for Roussou and convinces her to help them find the Other's settlement. Overall, it was an ok episode, but definitely a "filler." Entertaining, but it didn't really advance the story much. I won't even start on how it would be nearly (if not entirely) impossible for that van to actually start up.
