Can't go wrong with that bet.....Were there an unbelievable amount of commercials in the last episode or what? I'll bet there are 29 miutes of commercials per episode.....I was disappointed last night with the episode because nothing really happened because of all the f'in commercials...thank God for DVR.

Spoilers below if you haven't seen the March 18th show I thought it was a very disappointing episode. How can Ben be on one island as a grown up and a boy on the other? How can Sun not have been pulled off of the plane like the others? How can Jack, once the main protagonist of the show, get all of 5 good lines every other episode, and now will be a janitor, under Sawyer? Why is Christian, an alcoholic surgeon for the first three seasons be this spectre now telling everyone what the hell to do? Why do the producers/directors/writers bring in so many new characters to the series with so many loose ends to tie up? It's getting tiresome for me, sadly. This used to be my favorite show.

It was a "stage setting" episode.... It was good, slow... but good. I felt it was trying to set the stage for some things to come. QUOTE (vital signz @ Mar 19 2009, 07:49 PM) How can Ben be on one island as a grown up and a boy on the other? Sawyer, Jack, Kate (Young Ben) and crew are in 1977.... Ben, Sun, Locke are in 2007 or 2008 (not too sure on that QUOTE How can Sun not have been pulled off of the plane like the others? No Clue, I guess we'll find out later QUOTE How can Jack, once the main protagonist of the show, get all of 5 good lines every other episode, and now will be a janitor, under Sawyer? It'll be intresting to see how the dynamics change now that they're back together, and I bet Sawyer had a hand in Jack's Job placment...letting Jack know who's boss now . QUOTE Why is Christian, an alcoholic surgeon for the first three seasons be this spectre now telling everyone what the hell to do? That is still another mystery... patients my good sir... An answer will come. QUOTE Why do the producers/directors/writers bring in so many new characters to the series with so many loose ends to tie up? I kind of agree with you on the Ajira people (People on the Second plane that Lapedius crash landed)....I don't know how important these people are...we know squat about them But I think the DHARMA people needed to be seen and explained.... Im looking foward to it! QUOTE It's getting tiresome for me, sadly. This used to be my favorite show. The show is overall moving into answer mode... There are only 24 more episodes left in the series (8 more in season 5).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassTheAmmunition Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Sorry its been a while since Ive been checking this thread. Been watching with enthusiasm. The wife and I have agreed to let the DVR capture the first 30 minutes and start watching it delayed due to the sheer volume of commercials. Watching 3 seasons on DVD totally spoiled us. Plus, the "pause" time gives my wife and I a chance to say things like "Ok, now wait..." and insert the random I'm-so-Lost-here-I-completely-forgot-what-I-actually-remember question. That sort of sums up this season so far. I'm definitely hooked, as Ive been all along, but its been more of a struggle to identify the "AH-HA!" moments in this season, especially the off-island stuff and now the on-island but who knows what time period stuff. SPOILERS BELOW for those who arent up to current episode I thought the Locke episode was really the best episode so far. The whole suicide/murder thing with Ben is sure to stoke future episodes when they are properly reunited. Took some time for me to understand the placement of people on the island(s) now that its clear there is a main island and another smaller island, but I saw the whole time difference thing coming before Sun & Ben landed on the main island in a different time period. The big question is obviously what now and how is she going to find her way to Jin. I think the value of having the Ajira passengers part of the story is that it helps solidify the present from the past, and in a way sort of shows how this cycle that is repeating itself (plane crashes and people find island) is repeated....for how long has it been going on? thats another great question.... We now have a 30-year gap and the tables have completely turned with Jack and Sawyer. Jack is now the confused one. Whereas Sawyer used to look to Jack for answers "Now what, Chief?" the shoe is clearly on the other foot now with Sawyer controlling the plan (and fate) of the new Dharma recruits. You gotta hand it to the producers of this show for weaving such an intricate fabric that still has you wondering whats next. I cant say theres ever been another program I have been so interested in for so long. Just roll with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRod Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 There is no way that last night's ending will turn out like it looked... (being vague to avoid spoilers ) Farraday has said time and again that they can't change the past, even if they wanted too. Still, that was a total "OMG!!!" ending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalogKid15 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 as soon as i saw the ending i immediately thought of how the writers can get around it. I hope they dont punk out and actually let you know who you know what. That would make for an interesting couple of next episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRod Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Spoilers below for anyone who is not caught up Old Ben is in the "present" with Locke, Sun and Lapidus. My guess is that Young Ben will survive this event (or the island will resurrect him), but this is what turns him to "evil" Ben. I'm surprised he hasn't let on that he remembered Sayid in the future though... But with Ben's facial expressions, it's hard to know what he's thinking sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vital signz Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 This show is pissing me off!!!!! I am really getting frustrated because of all of the new craziness when there is so much old craziness still to be straightened out.

Spoilers: Wouldn't Ben, if dead in the 70's, cause Ben in the present to cease to exist? It's all so confusing If Temporal Paradoxes are allowed... but according to Faraday they are not. I say that he's not dead.... I think that whats is going along is an Ontological paradox. A Temporal paradox is one in which a time traveler causes a "change" in history, and alters and creates new timelines. An Ontological paradox is where the time traver goes back in time and "CAUSES" history... this is what I think is going on in lost For example if a time traveler goes back in time and kills Hitler... a temporal paradox is created.. But If a time traveler goes back in time, attempts to kill Hitler, fails but as a result of the attempted murder Hitler rises to do what he has done historically... This is an Ontological paradox... The Time traveler did not "change" history... he "causes" history.. a big difference... And what I think is happening on LOST... they are not changing history.......they are causing history.

Yes I look at lost blogs.... and post on them as well...well on Lostpedia mainly 2. I actually did know the paradox stuff...................I watch a looooooooooot of science fiction.... Another Temporal Paradox: Marty interfering with his parents first meeting endangers his existance.... he corrects his problem but his interference did cause a change in his current life (though it was for the better: Back to The Future Another Ontological paradox: The first terminator (in T1) is crushed by Sarah Connor... the arm and the microchip of that terminator is recovered by cyberdyne systems that is used for the development of SKYNET.... thus the terminator traveling back ensured its own existance...the terminator caused history ...................once again........a lot of science fiction right here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
