ABC's "Lost"

[venturi]

Dude, I was sitting there watching as Arnzt started his "last words" and he kinda started waving the stick a little and I was about to say "DUDE!" and then FLOOM!

Hurley to Jack: "You've got some Arnzt on you..."

And Arnzt's pre-doom fan shout-out totally rocked.


I must have missed something....let me know.

Well...not that I spend any of my precious time at Lost fan sites... *cough* But a lot of people on those sites have complained about the fact that with 40-odd survivors on the island, only a handful get any airtime. (Duh. It's a TV show.)

So when Arnzt was going off at Hurley about "your merry band of adventurers" (or whatever it was) and asking questions such as why does Kate get the best pieces of wreckage for her shelter; why doesn't "the Korean guy" catch fish for everybody, etc - I took it as a total shout-out to the grousing fans on various boards.

There have also been a lot of complaints about how Arnzt just came out of nowhere to become a semi-major character. So, for the writers to have him address all those complaints in such a hilariously expository way - then promptly, um, explode - struck me as wonderfully fan-conscious, "meta" writing.

Hey - at least I don't do any more than lurk at those fan sites. OKAY?

I did like when Arnzt asked Hurley why he isn't losing weight

[Jim]

And of course of all the dynamite, Arnzt picked the worst looking one the of course blew up

BTW, for those who did not see the good Morning America that had the "cut scene" you didn’t miss much.

Just Clair and Charlie on the beach talking about Danielle and how crazy she was, (showing how crazy she was by having her eat a raw egg) Clair told Charlie she knew the others would come back for her baby and that is why she didn’t name him yet....

Nothing real earth breaking... thankfully the DVR let me FF past all the GMA crap to get to it.

A raw egg? That is so not crazy. Those unhatched baby ducks they ate on Survivor this season - only thing ever on reality TV that made me have to look away. So Danielle is moderately less crazy than most of this year's Survivor contestants. Don't know if that's good or bad.

[Torn Rose]

That’s my point; they made a big thing out of her eating a raw egg..... Who cares? They are on a freaking island and fighting for survival.

1 week to go.... |shocking|

MAJOR EPISODE 1, SEASON 2 *****SPOILER***** READ NO MORE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!




|shocking| |shocking| |shocking| |shocking| |shocking| |shocking|




OMIGOD it WAS AWeSOME!!! I went down to Waikiki to see the premier of the new season. Traffic was a mess...We were running late, had to park far away...got there late...but wait....everything happens for a reason, right? so we're walking down the sidewalk and there is this guy suddenly stopping us...I look and we are right there where they have made a path from the street to the tents...It's where they are getting out of their limos!!!
Got photos of Shannon, Sahid (he is a lot smaller and thinner than he appears on tv), Dominic of course , Michael, the new guy (also an OZ alum like Michael), Matthew (Jack) , the new love interest...name escapes me at the moment, a bunch of people I had no idea who they were. Then.... SAWYER, josh himself. ADORABLE. His wife is about half his height and probably weighs all of 90 pounds. He is GEORGEOUS. Later I got up close near the tent and got more photos. Had my photo taken with my camera of me and Michael!!! he was so wonderful, polite, cute, really a good looking man. Evangline, Hurley and Terry were not there...they said they were working late.

Okay. Weather sucks, flash flood warnings. getting soaked waiting for the show to begin. I don't care if I get sick. The executive producer come on stage to blah blah blah and then pleads with the crowd not to reveal anythnig to anyone on the mainland....a lot of people in the crowd yelling back "NO WAY!" I yell "SUCKSTERS ROCK!"

On the last episode recap. Opening scene: a man wakes up, can't see his face. He's in a large room, geodesic dome kind of architecture...takes a shower...can't see his face but from behind he looks nothing like anyone we've seen before. Takes out a phonograph record (clue alert), puts the needle from an industrial kind of turntable on (clue alert) and this music from the 60's plays (clue alert) I can't remember the artist but it was like Petula Clark or something..."Sing my own kind of music, play my own special song" Make breakfast, still all we see is body parts, no face. Puts into a blender some powder, a FRESH egg, liquid. Shoots a vial of yellow liquid into his bicep with one of those "shot" guns. Starts excercising on a stationary bicycle. I see it is an old kind. YES WE ARE IN THE HATCH!!!!!!! acomputer is beeping with some kind of radar...I think it was at the beginning of the scene. All of a sudden the record skips with a violent "BOOM" Our castaways just blew the hatch. The nameless man goes and uses something that looks like a series of cameras and mirrors that goes down various dank, cellar like hallways, and we see an image of Jack and Terry (sorry I keep jumping back and forth between real names/character names).

Lots of dark jungle scenes. Hurley is great. has some really good lines. Explains to Jack the whole mental institution, crazy guy, numbers, 114 million, father dies, house burns down...chicken place where he worked getting hit by a meteor? the curse, the numbers on the hatch. All Jack says is "You were in a mental instutution?" Hurley says his bedside manner sucks and we go to Jack's past.

We meet his future wife...she is a car wreck patient in emergency... broken back. He struggles with his bedside manner.

Goes running in a stadium at night. Another runner shows up going really fast. Testerone kicks in and Jack tries to keep up with the stranger, falls, hurts his ankle. The guy comes over, nice Austrailan accent. Asks Jack if he is ok. they talk. Jack opens up a little to this perfect stranger. Talks about the patient, the guy tells him that he might not be able to "fix" her but he can "Lift her" whatever the hell that means. There are a lot of flashbacks throughout between Jack and this woman. has importance but not worth detailing.

ANYWAY...Shannon has lost the dog. Goes into the jungle with Sahid to look for him...they spot him Sahid goes around behind him, then Shannon doesn't see the dog, she calls for Sahid, no answer. All of a sudden, there is WALT. I can't tell if he is bloodied or wet he says something..but I couldn't hear....remember this is being shown on a big screen, out on the beach. 14 foot waves on the South shore and it's raining, so I probably missed a lot of dialog and visual details.

So, Walt says something then Sahid is heard running back to Shannon, she turns to see where Sahid is coming from, turns back and Walt is not there. Back at camp, no one believes her, but we all know Walt has special powers so I'm sure she did see him, he just wasn't physically there.

Earlier, after blowing the hatch, Jack made everyone go back to camp. He didn't want anyone going down and didn't see how everyone could get down to "hide" from the others.

Terry and Kate decide to go back. KAte is lowered down with a flashlight. The rope slips, she drops the flashlight. She decides to keep going down, but when she looks down, she sees something next to the flashlight (damn this weather, I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is) it might be a photo, it might be a camera, it might be a mirror...sorry I could not tell. Kate freaks out, then suddenly a bright light shoots out of the hatch, Kate screams. Kate is gone. Terry goes down the hatch.

back at camp,Jack finds out where those two have gone...goes after them. Gets to the hatch opening, no one around. He goes down. Gets to the bottom. Dusty old hallways....dust covered plastic containers here and there...dungeon or bomb shelter like hallways...a key, he enters the place where we saw the guy in the first scene. The music is playing REALLY LOUD "Sing my own kind of music, play my own special song..." sees the computer....looks like something from the 80's. about to touch a button and Terry says "I wouldn't do that" He has a gun to his head. Jack has his gun up...we hear Kate somewhere in the background, muffled yells for Jack. Can't see the man holding the gun. He yells at Jack to put it down. Jack keeps yelling "where's Kate?" see half of man's face....yelling at Jack to "drop it" in....A NICE AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.... WE SEE HIS FACE........

It's the man from the stadium...the one that Jack was racing when he hurt his ankle. He looks darker but it is him.

OH MY GOD. TRIPPPINNN

Cut back to Jack and his patient/future wife. He's crying as he tells her he can't fix her...that she will be paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of her life....He is so sorry, crying...she says "are you yanking my chain?" and startled he said no, it's true...so she says "so why can I wiggle my Toes? and amazed, disbelieving, goes down and damn if she doesnt have feeling in her legs...they are so happy! They don't understand, but she is miraculously cured!! He thought he failed, but he didn't.

The end.

[Fonz]

We just got episode 1 of season 1 here yesterday. A very promising start I must say. So since there's a season 2 my bet is they don't get off the island at the end of season 1?

[ngb1959]

Pretty good opening. Although, couldn't they have spent a few more bucks and got Jack a decent looking wig. LOL

My only quetion is that new guy Desmond keeps calling Jack "brother'. Maybe he's Jack's brother from an Australian mother.

I guess I'll watch this "invasion" show now since they hyped it up so much.

Just one more excuse to keep me from spreading porn to the world.

Nina

[Torn Rose]

"Brother" is just slang, no relation needed to call someone that.

I would also ask you not to post any more spoilers, I didn’t read it, but I do not think its fair to ruin it for others when you see it before they do.

[Kinky]

the show was good, the wig was AWESOME

and yeah watch the spoilers, I clicked on LAST PAGE for the thread and almost ruined the show for me

[Trev]

yeah, the first show was pretty good. But, no Adebisi or Michelle Rodriguez yet. My guess is Adebisi is one of the guys on the boat that took Walt. Rodriguez, I have no idea.

[ngb1959]

Sorry guys - no more spoilers.

Yeap a good show indeed..so happy that i didn't read the spoiler

[Kinky]

[Kinky]

[Torn Rose]

Same here on both counts

[Torn Rose]

interesting.... Jack pussed out IMHO.

And he is getting too damn bossy.

[Agent]

It was this thread that got me watching this show last season. I love it. Has anyone read the number theory regarding a mathematical probability (23 years, 4 degrees, etc...I'm being vague, I don't want to spoil anything)? Sounds interesting. Just do a Google search on the LOST numbers. It could also be total bullshit, planted by the writers.

It kinda blows my initial theory away too. I figured they'd find out they're on a tropical resort, but failed to realize this because they didnt walk far enough into the jungle to realize there were hotels, swimming pools, and free drinks on the other side.

[Torn Rose]

Forgot to post this, I was high when I thought of it...

4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108
