Lost: 11/1/06

[Taelorn76]

Well it seems we know the formula to being killed off on this show. You get arrested for DUI in Hawaii and that is a death sentence for you on Lost. Man I really liked Eko I am upset that he was killed off. Well that means that Rose's husband is the last of the tail survivors.

The first time they were in Pearl I think they just turned on a monitor. THey didn't try to get feeds from other places.

I don't think that they searched for a feed, when they turned on the monitor the hatch is what was displayed.

Nice episode. Sad to see Echo go, he was one of the better characters. So, are the Others really divided or is this just another way to mess with Jack's head?

I think they are just trying to mess with Jack's head.

I think this is the first time we've seen the smoke get really really violent. It grabbed Locke before, but after seeing what it did to Eko, I think it's safe to say that smokey the monster crushed the airplane pilot to a pulp in the very first episode. Which was a main theory all along, but now that theory just grew stronger.

It's sad to see Eko go, but I'm more curious as to why smokey killed him now, and not before, when they met face to face. I'm hoping there's a good reason, rather than the deaths just being random.

This episode also seems to strongly imply that smokey the monster may be responsible for the hallucinations on the island - from Eko's brother to Jack's dad and probably even Kate's horse. And again, I'm really hoping there's a good answer as to "how" and "why" this thing is doing all of this. Because the ultimate revelation of this monster is going to either make or break this show for alot of people.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed in this episode. It wasn't any one thing, I can't really put my finger on it.

First off, I loved Eko, so that stunk. Eko was a great contrast to Locke and Jack, with regards to religion. Also, I wasn't too thrilled with his flashbacks... I felt Eko had a lot more story in him. Of course, from what I've heard it's because AAA wanted to move on to other projects (and yes, I knew ahead of time), so it wasn't really a writing thing. Except the fact that his flashbacks were pretty blah this episode. Still, he went out standing, so points for that.

Nikki and Paulo bug me to no end. Nikki is like they decided they still wanted Shannon on the show, and so they needed to make a new character that isn't her, but almost just like her. Grrr. Also, I really don't understand why they couldn't have used Charlie instead of Paulo. I wouldn't have minded, if it weren't that the part and lines were a perfect fit for Charlie. So I'm big on the whole dislike-bandwagon so far.

Honestly, as I think about it, those were the two big things that bothered me.

Aside from his flashback episode, I've been loving Jack this season. I think it's because he doesn't just deal with Kate and Sawyer all the time. I have to honestly say, after that scene with Juliet and the video, I am really excited for next week's episode, and that hasn't happened in a while.

I completely called Yemi being a manifestation on the smoke-monster. I know the writers have said we've seen it before and not noticed it - obviously, this explains a lot of the whole "visions" thing. It does make me wonder about Walt though - did Shannon and Sayid really see him, or was that the monster? Also, I loved how the monster had an almost humanoid form (clue?). The first thing I thought of was an air elemental. Anyway, kudos to the Lost staff for actually moving that forward. Hopefully we get more on that front next year.

Which Others are with Juliet? I'm guessing at least Tom/Zeke (I always think of him as Zeke).

Finally, Eko's death scene was great, and he died standing and (relatively) fighting, which was completely appropriate.

Okay, I do know what bugged me - a lack of Claire. Juliet is hot, but she's no Claire.

ah, Juliette.... is she for real, or is this all part of some master plan? I'm leading towards the master plan. I think if it comes down to it, Jack will operate and try to save his life.... doctors seem to take that Hippocratic oath seriously....

and who was the guy in the eyepatch? Someone on the mainland somewhere?

Who are these mysterious losties on the beach who insist on talking out loud and acting like primary characters?!? Didn't they read the mute tertiary character memo?

I was figuring they're either red shirts, or possibly they'll be introduced and become more prominent characters on the show....it's an easy way to introduce new characters....we know how many survivors there are, but they've only really focused on how many? 12? In the last few episodes (counting from the end of last season) how many characters have died? Eventually they'll run out of characters, so this is maybe how they'll get new characters into the cast..

Opps. Double post.

Did Eko's actor get caught for DUI also? I hadn't heard about that..

Good to see Lock back in form after so much wandering.

Eko's death felt arbitrary. But at least the Jabberwocky is back.

Nikki and Paulo bug me too - why don't the writers use the characters they've created rather than create more and expect us to care? Why did Nikki and Paulo and have to go on the little trip rather than the increasingly ignored Hurley and Charlie?

So, at least one other hatch is seeing some kind of use.

Good Jack episode.

But Benry either knows what is going on and will put a stop to it the same way he put a stop to Sawyer's plan. Or it is all his idea.

Judging by the commercials, Sawyer and Kate get busy next week.

Is next week the last episode before the 147 week break?

Is next week the last episode before the 147 week break?

Yup. :\
