Lost

Has anyone made the connection between the dog and the monster being a copy of Dean Koontz's novel 'Watchers'? Smart dog, vicious monster, both from the same government lab? Food for thought for those of you who have read the book.

i think he's a bounty hunter (my wife thinks he's her (ex)husbnad.

Yeah, I get that vibe too, but I also think she did commit a crime. I get the feeling its something less than murder though. Maybe she's a bank robber or something.

i'm beginning to really like Sawyer. - snip - in any case, so far, he seems like the only one who really gets their situation. ... well, Jack gets it, but he's still trying to act like he's back in the city with all his acustomed comforts.

Am I the only one who thinks Sawyer is Han Solo? His lines, the scruffy look, and the fact that he was the only one crazy enough to stand up to the charging polar bear. Yep, definitely Han Solo. So that note he keeps reading. I'm thinking its a Dear John letter.

and good old Locke. i don't really know what's involved or how hard it is to do, but did it strike anyone else as odd that he just up and made a dog whistle? one that Vincent actually answered???

I'm wondering if he was even one of the passengers at all. They wouldn't bring Terry O'Quinn on this show without there being something very dark about him. He's one of my favorite TV actors. I loved him in Millennium.

I am liking Sawyer a great deal more now. And watching the show tonight with my wife, at the end of the episode as the touchy-feely music faded away the camara rotated around to Locke's face and the music took a turn for the ominous. My wife observed, "why are they trying so hard to make Locke creepy."

:\

After seeing the scenes from the next episode, she reiterated her theory about the island. That there is some time-travel phenomena related to the island. I dunno, but it's not that far out compared to many others folks have tossed out.

And, info to back up someone not being on the plane, and that it might be Locke. We saw in last week's "scenes in next week", which would have aired this week, someone opening up a large case of knives, and a character asking "How did you get knives on the plane". Of course, it wasn't answered in the teaser, and I don't think it was even shown in tonight's episode. So they are likely Locke's knives, as he was carving the whistle. So Locke has in his possession a set of hunting knives. (I'm assuming this, and knowing the show its wrong and it will be revealed with a twist that someone else has the knife set. :/) Potential ammunition to back up the possibility that Locke is the alleged character who was not on the plane.

I wonder how many more teasers are going to show scenes that are in episodes two or three weeks away while saying they are in the next episode... *grumble* Not that I really mind! (Heh, here I have turned watching Lost into the same thing I do when I get the latest issue of Dragon or Dungeon magazine... I am most interested in what the next episode (issue) is going to give me. )

Anyway, I think this episode was filler in the sense that it wrapped up some tension among the characters about getting off the island, and made clear that they are getting ready for the long stay. It was a happy ending... of sorts.

This is the first show I've experienced in a long time where that hour when they shpw a new episode disappears way too quickly. The last one I can remember like that was Twin Peaks, and it still ranks among my favorite shows.

If this was just "filler" than give me more filler. JJ is all about the misdirection. Just because it looks like they are painting Locke in an ominous manner, Kate as someone who keeps paying for one mistake even though she has a heart of gold, Sawyer as a realist and Jack as the hero doesn't mean that's where they'll end up. This is just the setup and I love it. This show has made me forget that I still have to wait 3+ more months to see a new ep of Alias.

I'm going to stay out of the prognosticating for now but there are some interesting ideas being thrown around here. Kate still remains my favorite character. They made a good move in concentrating on her early. Jack and Sawyer follow quickly behind with Sayid closing fast. I'm going to be awfully mad when these folks start to die off...

I'm wondering if [Locke] was even one of the passengers at all.

yes he was on the plane. he is clearly shown in the first flashback during the first hour of the pilot, sitting behind the black lady talking to Jack (i think her name was Ruby?), who's worried about her husband in the bathroom. (presumably in the tail end of the plane that got ripped off.

I was watching Lost with a friend and she said something about Locke that made me think. What if Locke was blind and his sight was somehow restored in the crash?

He told the boy that a miracle happened. He was staring out at the ocean and the jungle, exactly what a person would do if his sight was restored.

Lost had really caught my interest. Lost followed by Mythbusters means a pretty cool Wednesday.

Everyone keeps guessing as to which character it is that was not on the plane... I am 99% sure that I can tell you the answer to that one... Run away, if you don't want to know!



















The answer is:

NONE OF THEM!

Yes, that's right, it is SOMEONE WE HAVEN'T SEEN YET, played by Craig T. Nelson... Sure, I betcha! Tune in next week!

So is Walt the little boy? If so, then who is the bald-headed, older man?

 

[Fast Learner]

Walt is the boy, yes. Locke is the bald, older man (with the cut around his eye).
