Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine LOST - season 3 BE WARNED!!!

Lost's penchant for mysteries has spread to real life!

Sorry about the preview, I didn't think it gave away that much, but I haven't been able to resist the spoilers. As for the Kate hate, a lot of it's Jack/Kate fans that can't stand that she choose Sawyer. Some people have actually called her a prostitute for sleeping with him. Other people just can't stand the way she acts around Jack; always apologizing for every little thing. Some just don't like that her story always revolved around her love life last season and part of this one. She started out so strong in season 1, her later appearances have been a disappointment.

I missed Kate and Sayid's friendship, too, although I stopped wanting them to get involved in the first few episodes. It's so great to see her taking action again. I'm a bit afraid of how she's going to act around Jack next week. I don't want "puppy dog" Kate back. (That's not a spoiler, btw.)

Claire and Charlie's interactions really felt teen-drama like this week. I was half expecting Victor to come in and shoot one of the Brady Clan before the got out of Genoa City.

And Locke seems to be a tool now for the writers. When they need to move from A to B in a hurry, John is usually involved, making his own rash decisions without thinking or discussing with anyone.

But ah the Kate & Sayid friendship. These two worked great in season one, and I never thought them anything more than a competent, adventurous duo. This I want more of...

So with the idyllic village, the selection process, the Others detailed knowledge of our survivors, I've been thinking.

Any chance the island is a commune? Perhaps the Dharma Initiative ended, and now the island is a haven for some a isolation cult. When Claire's doctor first mentioned her mother's medical coverage was paid for, I thought the Dharma Initiative was involved, ala Juliet's & Desmond's backstories. (I know they lead us to believe Jack's dad was covering it, but that was Claire's accusation, he never confirmed it.)

Patch's explanation of the List, and why Kate/Sayid/Locke were on it, jives with Ethan's and Goodwin's comments about being "good."

Perhaps flight 815 was stocked with either good people, or throwaways- people that could be given up for dead, limiting the search for survivors.

Or maybe I'm just suffering chocolate withdrawals...

I think I read too many spoilers this time. Still, I was partly surprised and it was very good overall. Especially given St. Jack was back and all. :rolleyes:

Okay, I really am just wondering how many awesome episodes they can have in a row now! This was yet another great one.

"Because you're in a wheelchair, and I'm not" is one of the best Lost lines ever!

Agreed EDE. This was another great episode! And next week's looks awesome too! <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> I wonder who dies? </span></span>

My only quibble is that this is what, the third Locke flashback that's ended with his Dad proving he's a bastard and getting the better of him. We've been there writers! I was hoping that this episode's flashback would've gone somewhere new and had Locke finally get revenge on his Dad or something - maybe at the expense of his back? Oh well.

Other than that it really feels like this season is firing on all cylinders!

I think this episode was mostly just setting up next week's confrontation...


It was a good show, and seeing Locke take the fall was damn cool. He still seems a bit more emotional than his namesake.

Jack and Kate played much better here than all through the prison camp. Too bad Sayid had to suffer for it. And seeing Ben play at keeping his word just proves what a bastard he is.

Will the next episode deal with the Others at all? I haven't seen this weeks promo (and there wasn't a Canadian one), but I've only heard things about the beach and the flashback.

Never mind. I've seen it now. It seems like there's going to be an awful lot to fit into one episode.

Great, great episode. Once again, I'm reminded why Locke is my favorite character, own agenda and all (or should I say the 'island's agenda?).

Sayid also had a quick but great scene with Alex.

I have to say, the first six episodes were great this season, but being seperated from the rest kind of put a damper on them. But suddenly, these last few episodes have been some of the best the show's had to offer so far. Can't wait for more!

Me too. Next week's guest star list is pretty cool. I thought more would happen in this episode, though. Kate didn't end up in the place it sounds like she's supposed to be in episode 15, so they have to go back to Otherville, and it seems like there's a lot of stuff that's supposed to happen on the beach, too. I really thought it would be an all-Beach ep.

But I've heard a horrible rumour (not the dead character type) that <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> Locke won't be seen again for 5 weeks!</span></span> I'm afraid to look into it too closely in case I find out more than I want to know.

Edit: Fishbiscuits Review is up. Harsh but hilarious. Dr. Prick, M.D.

Your spoiler pleases me.

Locke is up there with Jack, Kate, and Sawyer as overexposed. We've got 40 some survivors- they've all got some stories to tell. When's the last time Charlie had a gripping storyline? Sun looks like she's about to really develop, and Sayid could really turn our little saga on it's head.

Holy Crap. This could be the best episode ever.

the funniest thing is I was thinking how there was almost nothing they could do to make me interested in those to other than give them great death scenes after what happened to Libby, Anna Lucia and Ecko...

...and holy crap, I'm more interested in them than ever!

Every flashback is like a treat for Lost fans!!

It's like a Lost version of Forrest Gump.

Best moment: Boone running around looking for a pen.

And wow, what a twist. I'm punching myself for not seeing *that* coming, after the obvious hint early on.

And the minute she showed that container, I know we were all thinking that all the *other male ones* were coming.

Wow. Probably the most horrifying scene on LOST so far!

Holy Sh*t!

Oh... wow.

Man.

Also I'd forgotten all about Sawyer's and Charlie's escapades last year. Good callback.

Very amusing episode, indeed. I like the Forest Gump analogy. What a pair. I remember when they were introduced, I thought they were real a@$&*)s, turns out that was on purpose. Discover the plane, don't tell anyone. Discover the Pearl, don't tell anyone. Discover the Others' plot to kidnap Jack, Sawyer and Kate, don't tell anyone. Paulo and Nikki make Sawyer look like Dudley Do-Right!

Ok <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> Are they really dead?</span></span>

I was starting to get annoyed with the show "Gumping" them throughout the show - about the time they discovered the hatch and did nothing. I was beginning to wonder what the point was. What would have been interesting is if their exploits shed some light on the established characters rather than just interweave their story into the main one.

Not to say the show wasn't enjoyable, but it was definitely a very "Twilight Zone" ending.

One thing: how the hell did Sawyer see Nicki digging in the dirt when he was playing ping pong with Hurley? They should've shown him picking up a stray ball at the edge of the jungle or something, but the way they cut it doesn't look like he had the chance.

He didn't see her. He noticed the dirt under her fingernails, then noticed the area where she had dug when they found Paulo.

Yep. <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">The actors have moved on to other things, as I understand it.</span></span>

I was a tad disappointed with this episode. I was hoping it would have more of an affect on the show overall. And I read too many spoilers. Again. I've got to get that under control for next week. I knew about the burying alive, but I really didn't believe they'd actually do it.
