Someone just got fuck owned by the plane engine. How the hell did he walk near that thing and not feel any pressure until it sucked him in?

Question: Why is Jack the only person with any common sense? He's saving everyone, and then notices the plane wing is about to fall on a couple people WHO HAVEN NO IDEA IT'S ABOVE THEM. smh

it may seem slow at times, but if you have s1-s3, you shouldn't watch one episode a day, or something. watch a whole bunch of em every day, and be amazed.

and s2 and s3 start out slow. but don't give up--they make up for it. they really fucking do.

keep watching!

the show drags a little here and there from middle of season 2 to middle of season 3.

but stick with it. end of season 3 and season 4 are holy fuck awesome

TVC15 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2008, 07:48:25 PM »

The only slow parts for me where the beginning of season 2 and (kinda) the beginning of season 3. The beginning of season 2 was worse because it would seem like they drug out ten minutes worth of plot across an entire episode. Still, both slow portions aren't bad at all when you are watching multiple eps per sitting.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2008, 07:48:38 PM »

Pretty good first episode.

I forgot there was some big secret about the island having a monster or something. At times it sounded like an animal but at other times it sounded very mechanical.

I actually feel its one of the few shows that hasnt gotten progressively better OR worse. Consistently very good over 4 seasons.

Ye rankings (yeah, Im splitting S3 up, because it really feels like two different seasons, the decent first half, and the fuckawesome second):

S3 pt. 2 > S1 > S2 > S4 thusfar > S3 pt. 1

Also, MAF, episode 4 ("Walkabout") of S1 is the best in the entire series, so enjoy it!

demi · « **Reply #17 on:** May 17, 2008, 09:24:08 PM »

How is S4 on the far end? S4 is fuck awesome, just for "The Shape of Things to Come" alone

TVC15 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 17, 2008, 09:27:33 PM »

I'd rank them S1 > S3 pt2 = S4 (so far) > S2 > S3 pt1

The last 3 eps of S4 have been kinda lackluster, but I am expecting a big finish.

Its on the far end because its failed so far to deliver that one episode that totally blows me away and reminds me why I love this show so damned much. S1 had Walkabout, S2 had Man Of Science, Man Of Faith, S3 had Through The Looking Glass. S4 has been great, but I dont feel theres been a single standout episode of the lot yet.

I cant even remember that episode aside from it being the premiere. What was so great about it?

The Constant isnt even the first or second best Desmond episode, let alone one of the better Lost episodes.

Alex dying, Ben summoning smoke, Keamy attacking the barracks, Sawyer pulling some Metal Gear, RPG nuking the house, Ben and Widmore's exchange

I really had a hard time with season 1 of Lost primarily because I had trouble accepting the show's structure. I like flashbacks as a story telling device but to have them in every episode was a little much to take at first and even after acclimating myself to Lost's style I still find s1 of Lost to be a little bland, especially when compared to what comes later in the series. Season 1 was too much about survior infighting and less about the mysteries of the island.

For me, I'd rate it - Season 3, Season 4 = Season 2, and way in the rear is Season 1. The opening of Season 2 owns though....even if it does take 3 episodes to get through it.

You saw Season 2 or Season 3 before Season 1 didn't you?

Nah. Actually I bought Season 1 before Season 2 aired on TV and was totally turned off on the show up until the final few episodes, then I got sucked up into it and watched the Season 2 while it was being broadcast. I was completely hooked on Lost during the first half dozen episodes in S2 but then they started dragging their feet and focusing on the taileys (is that how you spell it?) so I lost interest in it again. I didn't get back into the show until I guy I know that has similar taste as I do recommended that I watch Lost again 'cause it actually redeemed itself near the end of S2 and S3. So I went out and bought S2 and S3 on DVD and became a fan again.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #34 on:** May 18, 2008, 09:31:16 PM »

Just watched the second part of the pilot. I'd say it was better than the first part.

-The convict/marshal thing is interesting. She really doesn't strike me as a criminal; what type of criminal would try to save the marshal charged with looking after them? Plus, he said something about no one believing her story

-Don't remember his name but the guy who shot the polar bear=

-John Locke lol. Him holding the white ("light") and black ("darkness") pieces all up in Walt's face made me lol

-Distress call, coming from on the island? Perhaps I've watched too many adventure movies, but distress calls coming from an island=trap.

Third episode ("Tabula Rasa") was good also. Not amazing but solid

spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Kate hm. As I said she doesn't strike me as some horrible criminal

-Walt's dad stumbling onto Sun roffle. Sex scene please

-wtf is up with Locke? The episode ends with a close up on his face, dark music setting an ominous tone. Did he find the dog in order to seem like a good guy, ie no one will suspect his true intentions? Is he going to rape Walt?

-Sawyer loses badass points for not shooting that dude in the face

I thought thats what I read somewhere - sometime

Soounds about right for the story...no?

I mean how long can it go on?....after season 4 (14 episodes) there should only be 28 or so more total episodes I guess that end in the 2010 season...

Im sure someone here knows for sure.

TVC15 · « **Reply #50 on:** May 19, 2008, 11:19:54 PM »

You got it right, or mostly right. 6 seasons total, and that episode count sounds about right.

Season 1 - 25 episodes
Season 2 - 24 episodes
Season 3 - 23 episodes
Season 4 - 14 episodes
Season 5 - 14 episodes
Season 6 - 14 episodes

So who wants to rationalize/theroize about why the seasonal episode count got cut?

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #54 on:** May 20, 2008, 12:02:10 AM »

I'd rather it have a set ending and end strong, then for it to sputter around for a few more season and then risk getting canceled before it all gets resolved.

Actually though, I hope it ends on a cliffhanger and then gets immediately followed up by a 3 1/2 hour, $200 Million major motion picture.

season 5/6 will have 17 episodes.

and what they were planning on doing was for the show to run without any repeats from februrary to may. it didnt really work out this year with the writer's strike

I think most people's theory (or at least my theory) was so they could stretch 2 more seasons worth of content out into 3 seasons. It was originally 16-16-16 making it 48 episodes or two 24 episode seasons, until this season got cut down to 14 because of the writer's strike. I assume the other two are still 16, but I don't know.
