I thought the episode last night was better than the one last week. Last week's had no point at all and felt like more of a filler than this one. With this one we got a back story as to w hy Charlie is so into the baby - because he didn't get a chance to be with his brothers child enough like wanted to, and because with the baby and claire he felt like he had a family again. thats why he wants to get her trust back so bad.

and as rudder said, Locke is definitely up to something.

so yea, i enjoyed last nights episode a lot and definitely thought it was better than last weeks.

Chawlie's fsckin' nuts. How about another Sayid episode? Damn, guy just lost his gf and must have some kind of resentment for Anna Lucia (sp?)... but here we are watching heroin-boy deal with yet more inner demons. Yaaaawn. I wish they'd tell us how Jack's jogging buddy ended up in the hatch.

I thought that line/whole scene was pretty awkward and felt very out of place.

I felt like this whole episode was poorly done. The dialogue was pretty weak, and it added pretty much nothing to the plot. If anything, it only made us hate two of the main characters. Claire and Locke were both portrayed as unforgiving, untrusting assholes. The whole Locke punching Charlie thing was totally out of character and didn't fit at all.

Well CLaire and Locke are both under the assumption that he's using again...that's a fair assumption, and charlie looked like he was going to drown her baby..what do you think they were going to do?? Remember, they can't see what we can as veiwers, they dont know about his dreams, or that he was sleepwalking

I know, I'm dissapointed they took a LOT of the focus off of sayid and Jack this season it seems. I liked them a lot.

Well we did just get that episode about Jack's marriage breaking up -- that was pretty juicy stuff. Actually, what I'd like most of all right now is more Korean episodes... those stories have been the most interesting for me so far (well, maybe aside from the big reveal about Locke).

You guys should listen to the official Lost podcasts. In the last one that came out, the producers of the show explain the reasons for why they do what they do, especially in terms of the overall plot of the show. They said there WILL be some things explained in future episodes this season that we've been wanting to know the answers to. Also, if all of the answers are explained so quickly, then there would be nothing more to show.

Patience folks - patience. This is a show about CHARACTERS just as much as plot.

He was in a race around the world and his boat got shipwrrecked on the island. He met up with the folks there and helped out with the button. The original guy in the hatch died, leaving the guy alone.

It's not like at any point in the show they've portrayed him to be one of the hardcore religious types. So he starts acting like he's on drugs again, like he wants everyone to think he's crazy. WTF!
On the plus side, Lizzy or whatever her name is, is hiding something from Hurley. Maybe he'll finally be the one to score on that friggin island. I mean come on. Desserted island, men and women, you're telling me nobody but the korean dude has scored yet?

Sayid and Shannon...

I am sorry for not posting a thread about Lost 2x12. I didnt have time at work.


Go below for spoilers.


Here?s how the episodes seem to shake out so far this season:
2.1 Jack
2.2 Michael
2.3 Locke
2.4 Hurley
2.5 Sun & Jin
2.6 Shannon
2.7 The Tailies
2.8 Ana-Lucia
2.9 Kate
2.10 Eko
2.11 Jack
2.12 Charlie
2.13 Sawyer
2.14 Sayid
2.15 Claire





















+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++SPOILER++++++++++++++

01/25 - Co-creator/Executive producer Damon Lindelof reveals (note that this is a summary of the spoilerish things he revealed): The lines in the Dharma logo are not insignificant at ALL... but don't have anything to do with numbers. Perhaps if you were to break them down to their simplest elements, you'd find the significance. And more bunkers/symbols? Candle DID say there were more stations. And I'm not even sure the 'arrow' is an official station... looked more like a storage locker to me. If I had to guess, I'd think there'd be SEVERAL arrows scattered across the island, but they're probably just bunkers. [...] There are indeed other people on the island. But did Ethan KNOW Goodwin? Do they all live in the same place? How many of them are there? Source: The Official Lost Magazine, Issue 3, March/April 2006

01/25 - Writer/Supervising producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach reveals (note that this is a summary of the spoilerish things he revealed): Eko facing off against the 'monster' is a big deal in terms of the series because he's the only person - next to Locke - who has seen the 'monster' and has lived to tell the tale! Only with Eko, it was a different kind of encounter. That is something that the fans can expect to see bear fruit in future episodes. It's a hugely important thing, but won't necessarily be revealed immediately. [...] What you're going to see with Eko is that he has his own destiny on the island, and of all the characters, he has the most direct connection to the island because of the Nigerian drug plane. That's going to pay off in different ways. It's not going to mean necessarily that we wind up giving you the history of the 'monster' as a result of its interaction with Eko, but it sends Eko in a direction where he has a destiny to fulfil on the island that's gonna pay off. [...] What happens in episode #11 with Mr. Friendly showing up again, making himself seen and making his laws of the island very clear to the characters, will ripple throughout the rest of the season in a very meaningful way. [...] You're going to begin to see a lot more of the Others, and see a lot more of what they're about and what they're doing. Source: The Official Lost Magazine, Issue 3, March/April 2006

01/25 - Q. Is it possible that Lost's Libby is not a doctor, but a ********** ****? Ausiello: That's what I'm hearing, yes. Source: Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide [Note: We do not know for sure what was *** out, but most LOST fans believe it's "compulsive liar."]

01/24 - You will get your Libby episode. This season. Source: Matt Raggs at The Fuselage

01/23 - The Walt story will be resolved this season. In future flashbacks, we will get more answers about Jack's past. We will soon know why Hurley hasn't lost any weight. We will get more information about the hatch, what's behind the magnetic wall, what happens when we don't push the button. Source: January 23, Lost Podcast
