LOST - Season 2, Episode 1 Review Thread (Mrs-Roo, don't read- spoliers!)

[The AD]

And how come on a flight from Sydney to LA with so many survivors only one of them is an Aussie?

[Stu Gotz]

Or maybe an intelligent question from Jack, "Yo Zeke, who are you and how did you get here?"

That would have been nice.

[Steven S. Dallas]

Yeah, it's pretty annoying and unlikely that he wouldn't ask him some questions. Such as, I don't know, "if you don't want us here, why don't you put us on your boat and get us the hell out?"

[Grange]

After Jack's wife says she's leaving him he should have hooked up with the hot brunette.

Maybe he does! That chick was smokin'.

I see lots of talk on the Lost boards about when Sawyer was going to shoot "Zeke" did he actually get a shot off? Somehow he ends up getting clipped, but some people are saying HIS shot was somehow deflected from Zeke and ended up hitting him rather than it being a shot from someone out in the jungle.

[tuffy109]

like, sawyer got shot in the neck and was fine to stand there and walk back? uhhh, i don't think so. i thought some dude hit him with like a blow dart or something.

why is jack a jackass? kate fucked the whole thing up.

i picture michael being happy with the others as long as he's with walt.

re: walking around the island. sayid went for a walk and ended up getting taken out by a girl.

my question, flight from australia, no surfboards on the plane and nobody surfs? morons. i'd be a pro by the time we got found.

why is jack a jackass? kate fucked the whole thing up.

Because he always thinks he's the boss. I thought the part was great last night when Locke asked what was wrong with Michael going off by himself. The whole bit about people making their own decisions, etc. What I hate about Jack is he somehow thinks he can make all the decisions and everyone else should just go along with them.

And we all know he's just pissed because Kate's in love with Sawyer.

well, that could be because Locke convinced Jack in Season 1 that everyone needed a leader, and they were looking to him to be one. I'd say locke is somewhat responsible for Jack's behavior in that area.

[Stu Gotz]

Bizzump.

Good episode tonight. Didn't see Sawyer's play coming at all.

[goggle tan]

Anticipatory bump.

[Steven S. Dallas]

I think I'm over this show. It's way better to wait for season's end and the DVDs, then watch them all over one weekend. Things are going way too slowly- what's actually happened in the last 4 weeks? I want them to get off this fkn island, and they haven't gotten any closer. Generally speaking, when it comes to TV shows, I don't give a fuck about the characters themselves, I'm more interested in storyline, so maybe that's my problem, but at this point I feel as though the producers have no idea how they are going to milk another season out of this and are treading water. The flashbacks were all well and good when the show was new, and were setting up people's motivations for acting the way they do, but at this point, I think we know what we need to know.

Plus, Project Runway kicks ass.

[tuffy109]

in my brother's words: "what's with all the fucking character development? there's an actual storyline going on and they keep interrupting it."

the sayid retread wasn't needed.

i think hurley wanted to lick the toad.

[Steven S. Dallas]

Totally. Yeah, yeah, you're a torturer. Great. Go torture someone already.

[Stu Gotz]

This show has now gone into the "Lost is a cash cow - let's milk 'er until there ain't no milk left" phase.

Last night was about the fourth time they have replayed the first episode.

The counselor is correct. Best to wait until the DVD of this season comes out.

[Stu Gotz]

I'll bump this thread for the last time.

I can't remember a show going from "Awesome" to "What the hell happened" so quickly.

The flashbacks don't move the story anywhere and all of the cool mysterious bits of the Island seemed to have been forgotten. The characters no longer act in ways which the audience expects. "Reveals" that come from left field.
Just a bummer that this one went down the toilet so fast.

What he said.....so disapointing. At least we still have the Sopranos.

[tuffy109]

some truth to the above, but tonight's episode was pretty good.

Best episode in a while

[Schmear]

Supposedly the producers are really proud of the upcoming few episodes that will end season 2. I hope they're good 'cause I too am losing interest. They need to get back to more of the creepy/sci-fi stuff. Right now the plot seems to be going around in circles.
