Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Which Lost character are you?

*GASP OF UTTER HORROR!* I don't care WHAT your problem is, an adult willfully destroying a kid's comic book should be tortured Sawyer-style!!

I'm starting to get paranoid that because LOST apparently likes to turn everything on its head, that Mr. Locke may actually be an EVIL entity... I hope I'm just being paranoid! Also possible: they're just a bunch of people stuck on an island.

*resumes watching, having recovered from the horrific fate of Walt's comicbook*

NOW WHAT?!?! Walt's a Carrie, Jr? He has The Shining?!? Good Lord, LOST!

WHOA. So we finally get to see another polar bear. I think we need to see the things menacing our LOSTers in order to take the threats more seriously. I do, anyway. All the ghostly hissing, howling and invisible menacing was growing tired.

I'm assuming this episode means Locke has won over yet another islander-- Michael.

ANNNNND- here's CLAIRE! These LOST bastards want me to stay up 24/7 don't they?!?!

They are TOTES turning me into THESE people:

I took the test linked in the original post!

(I am not reading anyone's result posts until after I finished LOST though)

Here's what I got:


Jack

You scored 47% kindness, 41% courage, 42% seedy past, and 51% secretiveness!

I personally think the secretiveness result is a little high but.... maybe not

*blank stare* I suppose I will watch ONE more episode, as I have nothing pressing until mid-afternoon tomorrow...

E15:

Oh, lovely, Claire has hysterical amnesia... AND she is still preggo? That baby just doesn't wanna get born does it? Or perhaps it CAN'T...

WOW-- okay so apparently Ethan is Super-SerialKiller..???

*glare* I'm slightly annoyed that I know absolutely NOTHING about poor old dead Steve/Scott and therefore feel absolutely NO tension about this whatsoever. I am one who LIKES knowing the lower-tier characters... LOST needs to start intro-ing them STAT. Knowing a damn thing about Steve/Scott would have made this a bit creepier. Wait, was he rash guy? Maybe he was rash guy.

Also, this pokes another hole in my purgatory theory

Oh dear-- I guess Charlie WAS guilty of bad things in the grip of his addiction... but even then still likeable.

Nice suspense with the Ethan setup-- I thoroughly enjoyed Jack beating the shit out of him. I am sure momentarily, LOST will make me feel bad for feeling that way *resumes viewing*

Hmm. He's dead- rightfully so in my opinion-- he DID leave Charlie strung up and dead himself (as far as Charlie or I know anyway)... but with him dies a lot of potential answers. Ah well, I am sure we haven't heard the end of this and Ethan was in actuality the only thing that could get everyone off the island or protect them from something awful.

When the Ethan episodes were coming out, people were flipping the fuck out!!! The episode where he hangs Charlie and then Kate & Jack find him...then Jack is trying to save him and Kate realizes it may be too late and starts to cry...and then he lives!!! Wow, it was so powerful.

I've watched season 1 four times, so I have a good memory of it. Your posts on this thread are now my first stop on LW!

The finale for season 1 is nothing short of incredible. Season 2's intro is then a game-changer with a finale that is mind-blowingly good (perhaps my favorite of them all, though the end to the season 5 finale might be the best). You are in for some good stuff!

Locke was always my favorite. Like you, I was totally riveting by everything he did.

It speaks very highly of this show that even a couple years after it finishes, people get very excited to talk about it again!

E16:

A bit of a slow episode as we learn more about Sawyer. I still am not moving him back into the 'like' column just yet; I'm put off by his over the top cockiness mainly but his story is a very sad one. He needs to open up more for me to embrace the character. I'm pretty sure it will get there.

He really SHOULD have shot the boar though, since recently there were complaints of no boar meat.

Anyhoo, I'm debating possible other theories about the island, as the purgatory theory I am so in love with seems more and more unlikely.

It is possible that they really are just stuck on an island but some of the metaphysical stuff and facing of inner demons scenarios sure does make it seem like there's a higher purpose to it all.

Ah, the whispers....

The whispers, which were actual dialog, played backwards iirv.

I remember the net buzzing after every episode they were in, people figuring them out.

Also, pay attention to the books and other things being read. They are great 'in-jokes' for lack of a better term.

I don't think the ordinary whispers are backwards, but it does take quite a bit of audio enhancement to decipher them.

The amazing thing about the books is that people would form book clubs just to read all of the books referenced on Lost. For awhile, being mentioned on Lost was like being selected by Oprah as far as its impact on book sales.

Lostpedia has the full Whispers transcripts (as near as anyone can tell).

LASH!!! Don't go on any other Lostpedia page than the one above, as they are obviously rife with spoilers. But when you're done, its an invaluable resource.

BAH!! A THOUSAND TIMES BAH!!! don't give up ...the show hits it's stride in season 3 ! and resurrects a franchise! Deep Space 9, Voyager, and Enterprise are all around because STTNG was so frickin awesome.

season 2 is honestly the worst season ... and it dosn't even seem like the same show sometimes. (I still love it all though)

thanks Dave, I look forward to it when I can't spoil myself!

Gotta be fast today, late for stuff-- E17:

FANTASTIC ep centering on Sun and Jin. Still don't like HIM, but SHE is beyond fabulous and the moment she stepped into the water at the end, well, that's just damned good TV right there.

GOTTA mention-- Walt burning the raft was a stunning revelation! I knew the raft plot would die once Sawyer said he was leaving on it-- I could picture Michael, Walt and a couple of no-names sailing away to NeverBeSeenAgain Land but def. not Sawyer.

But with Walt's revelation, and words: "I like it here", and knwoing there's something odd/possibly paranormal about the kid... well, he moves up right alongside Mr. Locke now as character to watch.

CRAP. LATE.. gotta go!!!!

Jin and Sun are two of my favorites.

Lash, I'm enjoying your reviews maybe more than the tv show!! how you don't have your own television show is beyond me.

I totes forgot about Walt burning the raft!

This is cracking me up so much!

^hee hee hee

RANDOM LEGION WORLD COMPLIMENT DEPT:

Is there any place more special than this place? I kinda doubt it! I haven't mentioned my LOST viewing on Facebook because I don't trust someone there not to purposefully spoil stuff just to be a dick. Here on LW that is not even an issue I had to consider. Plus the fun y'all are having with my reviews makes it even MORE awesome for me! Y'all are (as is well-documented)

BEST WEB COMMUNITY EVER! Of course, this was already well known to us but I just had to say it!!

I've been celebrating a good health report from the doctor with drinks, so I'm kinda scared to watch another ep tipsy... but also I kinda want to! One drunk episode can't hurt, right? So, here goes... I'll be back to report!

PS/

Tee-hee! I know, right? It's not like I'm not the whole package!! Brains, looks, personality, massive trainwreck potential...

In looking through the whisper transcriptions, at least one of the titles is kind of a spoiler.

Jeepers! He's watching "Numbers" drunk!

E18:

Spontaneous Drinking game! I am taking a drink everytime Hurley says DUDE, every time Jin is surly, and every time Locke does/says something mysterious/cool this ep!

*sips* Theres a dude! *sips* DUDE! *sips* DUDE again! LOL!

ARE YOU $+ITTING ME? THE JACKPOT? HE WON THE EFFING JACKPOT?!?! LOL-- I'd faint too!

Random drunk observation:

TOP 5 CUTEST LOST GUYS (in no particular order and based SOLELY on my superficial view of looks)

Sayid, Jack, Sawyer, Boone, Charlie (with an extra-heavy *dreamy sigh* for Boone and Charlie and a special runner-up kiss to Jin for having the most sexy rigid jawline and cut features this side of Sawyer)

DUDE! *sips wine, ponders* Hmmm... Claire NOT having her baby and Hurley NOt losing any weight --i've been pretty big and a guy that big eating deserted island food for 2-plus weeks should have a noticeable weight loss by now-- plus the fact these guys don't have major beards by now, PLUS the weirdness with the compasses tells me my 'purgatory' theory should alter to some sort of 'time stands still' theory... *considers, resumes watching*

*glare* Diego is the reason so many lottery millionaires end up broke a year later.

STOP HUMANIZING HURLEY, LOST...!! Stop making me like him...!!! Oh Lord, he never got to help his Grandpa... *sobs, thanks lucky stars*

DUDE!!!! *sips wine, is glad now Hurley says DUDE a lot because of thirst*

Boone- mysteriously enlisting Claire's help! *sips wine*

"Struck by lightnign at the funeral"... C'mon, that's pretty funny!! OH! I should quickly mention a Hurley moment I really liked last ep that I didn't have time to mention before-- when his CD player batteries went out! I *really( felt for him then, you KNOW that would suck!! That was actulay the first time I really TRULY related to him! *burps, resumes watching*

OMG-- he bought my dream house!!! (I have a long history with fantasy dream houses... I blame early exposure to RICHIE RICH comics, that 1-percent shorts-wearing little bastard!)

BROKEN ANKLE? Come ON---!! NO ONE is THIS lucky THEn unlucky, right??!?!

Okay I feel guilty but this shit is hiarious!! Poor Hurley!!

DUDE!!! *sips drink* PS/ thank goodness this is a Hurley-heavy episode... if I was depending on Jin's surliness or Locke's awesomeness I would be sober by now! *glare*


*sips drink* YAY!!! JIN was SURLY-- FINALLY!!!

Awww! I'm glad Sayid, Charlie and Jack joined Hurley on his battery quest! Does Hurley getting me drunk this episode count as me liking him? That remains to be seen. One or two more "dudes" should tell the tale... *resumes*

DUDE (do not do that right now)! HOORAY! *sips wine*

Just noticed-- very nice job of making Hurley look larger in flashback! Lenny/Leonard, eh? Who TF is Leonard? *resumes*

OMG... HURLEY is... CALAMITY KING?!?! (tooniverse version)

CRAP. This is kinda freaking me OUT. I'm going to stop here (Lenny's breakdown) and resume when I'm niiiice and sobered up. Sorry, y'all.

Yeah!

Sun was actress in Korea, and Jin is American. pretty funny. Jin's also racktacular and abtacular. "as is wel-known."

That may be for the best. There's some important stuff about to drop.

LASH, I double dogone dare you to wait at least 48 hours between the end of Season 1 and the start of Season 2. Then imagine what it was like to wait months.

The opening of Season 2 = probably EDE's favorite five minutes of television ever.

I remember watching the first five minutes of the Season 2 FINALE, and being like "HOLY EFFING CRAP ON A STICK!!!"

My brother and I were going nuts as it was airing. Because of that shock, I've always considered it the biggest surprise finale of the season, moreso than Season 3 (which we've talked about on other threads in terms of how some of us were blown away by it and others just took it in stride).

Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. I can't wait to see Lash's reaction as he marches towards the finale of season one! The intensity is about to be upped another notch!

Even though I know it was great because every season finale on LOST was great, I actually can't remember what happened in the season 2 finale.

For me, nothing beats the season 3 or season 5 (in particular, the final scene) endings. Just effin' amazing IMO.

I really need to re-watch this show. I want to meet a guy who hasn't seen it and then make him my boyfriend so we can enjoy it together. Any criticisms of it and he's out the door!

Actually, that's not true. As much as I love this show, I did have some problems with it. The good far outweighed the bad though.

Did anyone here ever buy the special edition box-set by the way? I really want to get it but it's kinda pricey and I need someone to encourage me. I'll also need to order it from America too because the Australian one only came with like half the features! I HATE DVD region-coding/short-changing international markets!
