Lost: Season Premier. Tonight

[Mimic]

Well at least they kept up the part where they made incredibly stupid decisions.

Build trust and build relationships or is that the other way around. I also thought selective breeding program.

Way too many interruptions, I think some of the commercial breaks lasted longer than the segments.

I liked it, except the part where she took Jack out, with one punch.

 

[TwistedBishop]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I'd love to know the actual run-time of the show.

It was 42 minutes and change, same as the first episodes of season one and two (if you consider the series pilot was two episodes stuck together).

42 minutes is the standard run-time for a 'one hour' show.

Still watching. I liked it except for Juliette laying Jack out with one punch. Meh.

 

[Richards]

I liked it, except the part where she took Jack out, with one punch.

Yeah, I saw that and said "Hey! Sawyer's the one who always gets beat up by women, not Jack!"

The best line in the whole episode, though, was "It only took the bears two hours."

Come on, Jack never saw that punch coming, he was already strung out, look how he looked when he went to the wall before he attacked her, then the water hitting him. I would have been more surprised if he was able to take it. which brings up the question; are they pumping Jack with drugs to mess with his mind?

 

[Sir Brennen]

The best line in the whole episode, though, was "It only took the bears two hours."

And what kind of bears would those be? Polar, maybe? At least that's one other question answered.

But why were they let out? And the aquarium emptied of sharks and dolphins? And what would the animal studies have to do with the electromagneticism thingie from the blown-up hatch? So many questions, still...

 

[Arnwyn]

I loved the intro! It answered a question that I'd been asking since I first learned that Goodwynn and Ethan were others; did the others have people standing-by ready and able to leap onto the beach and pretend to be plane crash survivors at a moment's notice? The answer is a resounding YES! Wow, those guys are scary organized!

Exactly so. I'm glad this episode actually went and bothered to answer at least some questions, and gave appropriate hints so we could figure things out. For example, I knew very quickly that Jack was in some sort of underwater facility (especially when he licked the dripping water and spit it out - ah! That's salt water!), etc... along with confirmation that the shark we saw was indeed yet another Dharma genetic manipulation. Also nice to see the confirmation that the Others are (or rather, were) part of the Dharma Initiative, which all fell apart after the "disaster".

It also confirms what I specifically said for the past two seasons - for all the Lostaways know thanks to their lack of exploring, there could be a resort on the other side of the island (and there was a freaking village, with infrastructure [sidewalks, etc], power, and amenities).

Oh, and I hate Juliette! Anytime either Sawyer or Jack got within arms reach of her I wanted them to lunge out and kick her in the head. I felt a surge of excitement when Jack charged across the room and attacked her. Just a shame that he started dragging her about while trying to escape. I would have slammed her head into a wall and DEMANDED SOME FREAKIN ANSWERS!!! "NO I DON'T WANT YOUR CRAP-ASSED GRILLED CHEEZE SANDWICH! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT PLANET YOU WACKOS ARE FROM!!!"

You, sir, win this thread in my eyes.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Exactly.
