jahilia Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I don't post much, but I just have to contribute to this thread. I watched the whole 3 seasons in two months and I can't wait for it to start again. Ben is my favorite character - I hope Season 4 delves into his story a bit more. Just 6 more days...

Big Perm Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 SPOILSSPOILSSPOILS I'm a big fan too, but some of 3 got quite frustrating, i really wanted Locke to take over the whole island, after doing Naomi, he should have slit Ben's throat, and pushed jack down the hill, then ripped his shirt off and cut into his chest (like the indian in Predator) and claimed to be the island's best fried. Then Michael & Walt walk out from behind him, chain kate to Locke's leg (i.e. slave Leia w/jabba) and then shoot off fireworks. That's a cliffhanger. Did I miss something or why did Charlie have to die? Seemed like he did his job and could shut the door from the other side? Even if not, they had time to put on the dive packs and swim out? Or is the tragedy that he thought he had to die and didn't really need to die? I'm almost over Jack, enough is enough. I prefer the kids who were still at the beach in the end. Thoughts on if Jacob is the island? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

a.miller Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I can't wait for the whole Michael / Walt thing to unfold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kimcatch22 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 MINOR SPOILER ALERT I can't wait for the whole Michael / Walt thing to unfold.The only character more irritating than Jack is Michael.But lucky for you, episode 4.08 is Michael-centric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jahilia Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm almost over Jack, enough is enough. I really dislike Jack too. I love how this show always keeps you guessing, not just with the mystery of the island and the Others, but also the characters that we think we know. The characters are never stagnant (except for maybe Charlie, which is why he had to drown), but what's so good about the writing that nothing is out of character. Jack was a arrogant jerk from the very beginning, but he was the one who stepped up in a time of crisis and was seen as a hero until things died down a little - I think us viewers become less enchanted with him at about the same rate as the other characters - it gave me such joy to hear Rose say something to the effect of "If you say 'live together die alone' one more time I'm going to punch you in the face". Anyway, great show...did someone say that these are available to watch immediately after they air on ABC.com? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yes - as time goes by, more and more networks are streaming shows it seems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kimcatch22 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 did someone say that these are available to watch immediately after they air on ABC.com?No, not immediately, but the next day. Noon-ish, if I remember correctly. It depends on traffic on the site. Abc.com was releasing webisodes once a week for the last few months and in the beginning people could never get them to work. The bugs seem to be worked out now. The characters are never stagnant (except for maybe Charlie, which is why he had to drown)Do you truly think that's why he "had to drown?"

stickman Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm so pumped...good times. Wednesday is the Season 3 finale with bonus textual commentary. Or something like that. Anyway, two hours on Thursday, yes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 There's no way anyone has watched more "Lost" than me in the last 2 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jahilia Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Do you truly think that's why he "had to drown?" Well, the executive producers have said that Charlie's arc was over, and they and Dominic Monaghan agreed that they should kill him off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 There's no way anyone has watched more "Lost" than me in the last 2 weeks. i've got all three seasons running on a loop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kimcatch22 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Anyway, two hours on Thursday, yes?Hour 1: recap specialHour 2: season 4 premiere Well, the executive producers have said that Charlie's arc was over, and they and Dominic Monaghan agreed that they should kill him off.That's not why Charlie "had to drown." You're missing the point of the show entirely. Charlie's death fits into the show's exploration of destiny versus free will; it was not a producers' whim type of thing. What happened to him has a role in the bigger picture and the consequences are going to be felt in the season premiere (and beyond.) And characters on the show do not die because they become stagnant or their stories are over; case in point: Libby. Libby spoiler: Not that we've seen the end of her...

Analogman Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I just like to watch the show - sometimes, I think if one gets too caught up in what means what, it sort of ruins the whole deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 And characters on the show do not die because they become stagnant or their stories are over; case in point: Libby. I thought they were killed off when the actors get arrested for drunk driving... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUDE Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I thought they were killed off when the actors get arrested for drunk driving... You're missing the point entirely, it's all about destiny and free will, and who can hold their mud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kimcatch22 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I just like to watch the show - sometimes, I think if one gets too caught up in what means what, it sort of ruins the whole deal.That's how I feel about most of the tv world (I watch Rock of Love, remember,) but in the case of Lost I feel that watching the show each week without reflecting on it in some capacity is an intellectual let-down. There is so much packed into the shows, from philosophy to Greek mythology to eastern religions to scientific principles, theorizing about the deeper meanings of the show is a major brain exercise. Figuring out pieces of the puzzle before they're revealed in the plot based on the ideas explored in the show is a great feeling of accomplishment, I can't just sit back and watch the show without wanting to learn more. It's a rare treat to find a show that does such an amazing job of exploring (to borrow from Douglas Adams,) life, the universe, and everything. This show is not about them being stranded on an island; it hasn't been about that since their first night on the beach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I thought they were killed off when the actors get arrested for drunk driving...The point is, I believe, that Libby's story was neither stagnant nor over when she was killed off. Although I don't know what it says about the direction of the story if major characters can be written out on a whim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Of course - but sometimes, it's cool just to watch the art. I don't care for hardly any new shows - this is a cut above, you are right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
