Lost: Season 3 02/07/07

Wait wait wait. You're saying that, even though Kate and Sawyer knew that the two Others would be released and would aid in the attempt to catch and kill them, that they should have just left the two guys alive? None of the other Others were doing anything to stop Crazy McKillyoulots from shooting Sawyer. Why should Sawyer let the Others kill him? The best way to avoid dying is to kill the guy who wants to kill you. He's too big and strong to hold as a hostage, too irrational to reason with in the immediate future; the guy wants to kill you, and if you lock him in a cage he'll just be out in a few minutes to come after you.

I'm just saying your idea of the practical approach isn't neccessarily what everyone in that situation would realistically do, as many would find it morally/emotionally disconcerting. Therefore I have no problem with how it was handled. And again, for the purposes of the narrative, it establishes the Lostaways as the heroes (though not without their flaws.)

I hate the Others. If the Lostaways don't kill one of the Others in the next two episodes (or we get one hell of an explanation why not), I'm out.

Sun's killed one. Ana Lucia's killed one. Juilette's killed one to protect a couple of Lostaways (though for her own reasons.) Didn't Eko kill a couple? How many more do you need? Kill 'em all and you don't have a story. Though I'm guessing you'll get your wish soon enough, when the beachies bring it.

I know I would have put him down, like I said the guy had it in for them for some time! I may wait to see how this season ends up, before I walk away but I am with you.
 

Guns Status?

What is the status of the Lostaways' gun cache? Am I wrong in thinking that they're still buried beneath Sawyer's tent and that only Sawyer and Kate know of their whereabouts?

I seem to recall Desmond having a rifle or something but that he used up all the ammo (though maybe he had more stashed on the boat).

Anyone with a better memory than me able to shed some light on this matter? With some of the talk about killing the Others in this thread...well, that may be easier said than done.

Some of those were taken by the Others when there was the Mexican Standoff in the jungles, about half-way through last season. The Losties had to trade those guns to get Kate back and alive.

Other were taken along when the Losties went with Michael to get Walt. When Kate, Sawyer, Jack and Hurley were captured, those guns were also lost.

I do not know how many guns are left.

The Others are nothing more and nothing less than a cult of slavers. They do not police their own, no one stopping Crazy McKillyoulots (Thanks you RW for the great title) on his irrational vendetta against Sawyer. However, they do brainwash people, kidnap people and children, decide who lives and who died according to their own whims and make captives perform physical labor. They are a cult of slavers.

Kill them all.

Kill them all, even if they surrender.

Heh. How do you make sure you're not killing the slaves with the slavers?

Also, how do you get off the island if the required information dies with the Others you've just killed?

Part of me wants to see the Others get offed--there's no doubt in my mind that many of them are wicked, manipulative sub-humans. But another part of me warns that if the Lostaways try the "kill-'em-all-and-let-God-sort-'em-out" approach, they'll be among the dead that God has to sort out.
 



Humans are loving, caring, wonderful beings. Humans are also enslaving, treacherous, manipulative jerks. I was just noting that it would be a nicer world if such nastiness was sub-human, but it's just as human as any other of our behaviors. Not acceptable in our society, mind you, but very, very human indeed.
 

Viewership Down

Just saw a small article on AOL that said that viewership for the first Lost episode of 2007 was down about 2 million viewers (14.7 million vs. an average of 16.7 million for the first part of season 3). My quick math says that's about 1 out of every 8 old viewers.

Not good, especially considering that several posters in this thread watched the latest ep but are considering dropping the show in the near future.

I wonder, should this trend continue, if the show's producers will switch gears again in an attempt to bring back the viewers they've lost. That might not bode well for Lost's faithful followers.

Then again, maybe a couple million people just forgot that the show started up again this week from its long hiatus ;)

Ah-ha! Another possible Mittelos anagram...TIM STOLE!

"Tim stole what, Lassie? The Eyepatch Man's missing glass eye? Is it down the well too?"

P.S. - Since we're talking about Lost here, shouldn't Timmy fall into a hatch? ;)
