Lost Season 3

I clicked on Off Topic by accident and saw this thread. LG just went up another notch in my book. I love this show. I started watching season 1, started missing episodes, and vowed I wouldn't watch it until the DVDs came out. So for the rest of Season 1 and all of Season 2 - I didn't watch nor hear any info at all about Lost. I caught up by getting Season 1 on Father's Day, Season 2 on my birthday and now watching Season 3.

And yes, DVR is the only way to watch Lost - especially after not having to deal with a commercial for almost 2 straight seasons. At 9:45 it's on for me.

That's my joint. The only thing besides sports I make sure I watch.

Now, my thoughts on Season 3

- The Others are NOT calling shots. From their comments questioning the purple cloud and not being connected, to them not aware of Desmond's boat to other things being said so far this Season I'm 100% sure there is someone controlling things more than them. The Others aren't "hard" enough.

- I agree its not Ben who has the tumor, probably someone The Others follow.

- Just as the survivors are being played and watched, I believe the Others are as well. They are pushing their own button and just don't realize it.

- Julliet said she's a fertility doctor. I believe she and the Others are the reason Sun got pregnant (that cheating b****). From them wanting Walt, to wanting Cher's baby, to kidnapping Alex, to putting Sawyer and Kate together - its clear they are trying to get kids to keep the population of their community growing. There has to be something about the island that makes them infertile.

- Desmond obviously can see the future. I thought of time travel but thats not likely because anytime you change one thing, everything else changes off of that. Butterfly effect.

- I don't believe Sawyer was conned over Clementine. Just more depth to the character - he's not as superficial as he wants to appear.

- The biggest question I have is this - wtf is up with that 3-toed statue?

- Charlie definitely is bugging me now. Hopefully Desmond showing him what's up with the lightening knocks the chip off his shoulder.

Good thoughts 2Cleva. Charlie bugs the hell outta me too. I hope he's the next one to get killed because he's really kind of useless now.

That statue mystifies me too. It seems like an homage to Planet of the Apes. Makes me wonder a bit about the island and the possibility that is somewhat of a wormhole where it's possible to move through space/time. Kinda out there, but with this show, who knows?

I don't believe Charlie will be killed - at least not too soon. He had his brush with death already a couple of times.

It seems people die once their circle is complete. They go through their up then down, deal with it and then poof - they are gone.

Boone - got over being in love with Shannon
Shannon - became independent, dealt with her brother issues, started listening to the island.
Ana Lucia - Got over her emotional issues.
Libby - Not sure here.

But the whole death/killing people off seems overdone in Season 2. They can't keep going to that well.

Also, the polar bears obviously have been experimented with. I doubt it was trying to kill Ecko either. Maybe wanted a friend.

what about the other set of "others?" the podcast reveals this...could one set of others rule one island and another set rule another?

2cleva...good thoughts...esp. regarding the fertility stuff...

either way..i'm glad we're finally getting some answers...

Where is the podcast at? Link?

Also, the preview on TV now says someone dies within the next couple of weeks. Charlie? Kate?

I've about had it with this show. They don't give answers... only more questions, more mystery. They'll tease you... act like they're coming to some (any) conclusion... only to set you up one more time. This show is setting up to one day get canceled and leave everyone scratching their heads.

And now they kill Eko? While he may not be everyones' favorite... I'd be willing to bet, he's high on the list.

Total (bleep) tonight.

The Eko death was too predictable. I bet the real thing he whispered to Locke was... "Don't drink and drive... or you'll be next".

So Locke just said, "we're next". LOL

Agreed ocho. The answers come in time.

Julliet is a cold mamjamma. That woman has a few tricks up her sleeve. I sometimes wonder if she's not in charge and just pretends that Ben is.

Ecko's death represents the true master of the island. The Others just live there but they aren't controlling that ghost cloud. "You talk to me like I'm your brother". Something has the ability to posess the thoughs/read the memories of the survivors to posess the dead and make them do the island's bidding.

Like "Ecko's brother' - it was tring to get Ecko to confess, in other word's break him. But since it couldn't, it killed him.

Not unlike what Ben did to Jack but the Others obviously are second hand at it. They learned their techiniques from bad experience, I assume, to who really calls shots.

Also, look at what Ben said about needing a surgeon and one falling out of the Sky. Going back to the flashback of Desmond and the contingency needed to push the button, its obvious the Others didn't crash the plane but some outside influence maybe anticipated the plane coming and had a factor in Desmond leaving the hatch? I have to watch that episode over again.

oh my this show is driving me nuts...great episode though...so was it reverese psychology by henry on jack? or is he really telling the truth? thats what I love about this show...too much to think about! I think juliet is a fraud...and the real mastermind behind this...henry is a good guy I believe..just weird.

also is it just me or is it that when each of the characters accept their problems that are in their lives they die? boone, ecko, shannon they all accepted their insecurities/faults then were killed....bitter twist of fate.

But, see.. the answers don't come in time.

What answers do we have? The others aren't the savages they tried to portray in the beginning... and the end of the world won't come if they quit pushing the button. Other than that, they've just created more mystery on top of more mystery. They supposedly answer a question... but just throw in a twist, which leaves that answer, unsatisfying.

I understand the "purpose" of the show. However, the way they draw it out... I'm telling you... this show will end (be canceled) before they ever give us "the answer".

Besides that... I'm tired of the producers/writers holier than thou attitude. So some of the actors had some run-ins with the law. Its not like they killed someone. How many perfect people are in this world? They've killed off 3 very good and central characters because of this attitude. I'd like to know how clean the producers/writers backgrounds are. Let's say one of them has an "incident"... are they willing to remove themselves from the picture, if that were to happen? What if one of the main writers, gets in a traffic dispute... is the show just going to end, because of it? If the higher ups were to judge by the previously set standards... it would be the "right thing to do".

I'll keep watching for now... but my patience is wearing thin. I can't believe I skipped the game last night, just to watch that crap episode. Luckily KCAL replays the games.

What's with the black cloud already? And who is the guy with the eye patch? AND why the heck did they kill off one of my favorite characters? They need to tie up some more lose ends in this show already.

It will be good to know who is playing whom. I'm still wondering if Juliet
is on the level. I think she and Ben are just running game on Jack, plus I’m still not convinced that Ben is the one who has the tumor. Heck! I question if anyone on the Island even have a tumor. I doubt seriously it was just an accident that Jack saw those x-rays. I also don't think Ben was genuinely upset that Jack found out about “his tumor." I think this whole tumor fiascos is to test Jack. For what? Heck if I know! But it seems everyone on the Island/lab gets to a period where they have to make defining “choices.”

Is Jack buying any of this? I wouldn't be shocked if he is smarter than they think.

I get the impression Ben's group are just players and not running the game. I think they are also being studied by someone/something else.

I can’t believe I wrote such a long post about a TV show.

Anyone besides me find Juliet smoking hot? Not so much to do with her looks but how she carries herself.

As far as the show, I'm willing to be patient with this one and go along for the ride. Other shows like 24 deliver non-stop action and I can appreciate that. It's nice to have something that's completely opposite in terms of pace and really making you think. That said, the frustration with this show definitely seems to be coming to a boiling point, not just in this thread but in lots of other things I've read. That'll probably push the writers to speed things up a bit and start to provide a bit more answers as this season goes on.

Juliet, to me is cold hearted...I'm with the rest of you guys who think she's the real bad guy...but she's not gonna get the upperhand in this one with Jack. He's been through too much crap to let it happen again.

Pirate man (guy with the patch) is one of the other "others" who are on the island with the plane crash survivors. these are the ones who whisper...

Jack, kate and sawyer are on a different island with the regular others (juliet, ben)..

so far..we've seen 5 hatches...
1. the one that blew up
2. the pearl
3. one where they found the lockers and the beards and disguises
4. the one that the tail section was camped in
5. the one with the eye patch guy. (other 'others')
6. this one must be the one that walt used to communicate with michael

finally, they need to include sawyer in every episode...he is by far the most intriguing character plus all his hilarious commentary just adds great flavor to the show...(i.e. "i screwed her" and calling people "cha-chi")
