Lost (SPOILER)

[Jim]

Episode 15 aired on Wednesday.

But after that there is a fucking ridiculous break, something like 3 weeks I think?

I don't get it, in England we never have one week off from a season, let alone 3. This is like the fifth time this has happened with Lost in America,

do they do this with all shows?

[Sterlingdog]

But still. I would have prefered something a bit more criptic than, when you think about it, being given not too much more than that old Beardy Mc. Beardason wears a fake beard...

...Maybe.

I thought that opened up a lot more questions.  Since there were the tattered clothes in the locker, along with the beard, it implies that the others actually are wearing costumes to appear that they are stranded on the island too.  But in fact, maybe they are actually in contact with the outside world.  Maybe even able to come and go?

Seems they do.

Like Prison Break that i download from America

Episode 13 - 28th November 2005

Episode 14 - 20th March 2006

I've been waiting ages

[Jim]

Yeah, but they're pretty base questions. 

My assumption is that the others can come and go,

remember how Ethan said that telling Claire (fuck I love her!) where all the stuff came from would be too much?

My theory has something to do with The Island being between worlds,

but it is far too abstract to go into any detail here.

I mean, it's all in my mind for a start...I've never said it out loud.

It was all a bit 'something bad happens to the children, hence Claire was saved by Alex', you know?

There were some slight assides that were very good (somebody getting made, Ethan sneaking Claire out.....), but I just felt that had I known before that we would find out what happened to Claire when she was taken, I would have been slightly let down.

That said, the episode was put together fantasticly! It was well paced, edited well and had some great acting.

That's insane though.

Did you know that, because Prison Break was so well received, it's original run was extended?

In that case, I'd say that probably explains that monster of a break.

Because 12 (13, assuming that the last two are a double episode) is the average for a midi-series. It probably got extended to 24.

Prison Break rules though!

I'm watching it in UK time though, on 5, so none of that break bollocks, just a new episode every week.

Do you guys have problems with the downloads being out of sync too?

[Hammy]

Do you guys have problems with the downloads being out of sync too?

Only time that happens is if my computer is running too much at once or i'm short on disk space.

So whenever i watch a download episode of anything or a film on my computer i shut everything down, i also delete every episode as soon as i've watched it.....

Jimbo....learn to download and speed ahead with Prison Break

[Jim]

Sorry dude, I did mean to answer you,

I guess I got carried away.

No, I don't. Are you sure that you're using the right codec? I'm not sure if that would make a difference, I guess it shouldn't but...

DivX, yeah?

[Jim]

Nah man, I want at least one show that I can keep to one a week!

Even if I do catch up, which would be like in a couple of days, I would then have to start waiting a week again for the next episode...But I would then have to start watching it through the PC, or having to go through the trouble of burning.

For the moment I'm happy with the pace, being able to watching it on the big TV without any obligation to download. 

[Hammy]

For the moment I'm happy with the pace, being able to watching it on the big TV without any obligation to download.?

With all the breaks in the states i hit the stumbling block of catching up with all my shows at one point....

Prison Break
My Name Is Earl
Supernatural
Lost
Desperate Housewives

I'm currently downloading the whole of Season 1 of Deadwood (63.9% so far....) just because i'm short on episodes with my other series, anybody watch it, like it?

On topic, is the new episode of Lost any good, i'm busy skipping past spoilers in the thread....

[WeHeldTogether]

Did any of you guys see hieroglyphics(the ones from the countdown) on the wall when Claire was shining the flash light on the room where her baby would be cared for?? (It could've been another room) or am i just imagining things?

[Eugene Klein]

Those are shapes of removed figures on the wall. A palm with a monkey, a zebra, a lion, an hyppo and a tiger.
However it seems the figures you mentioned are all over the murals in the hatch.

[supaplex]

Yeah, but they're pretty base questions.

My theory has something to do with The Island being between worlds,

but it is far too abstract to go into any detail here.

I mean, it's all in my mind for a start...I've never said it out loud.

on the lost forums they asked one of the producers and he said that all of the things happening on the island can happen in real life too. they have people taking care of the scientific stuff, doing research so they are as accurate as possible.

still i think that lost is the best series i have watched in a long time. it is well thought and the plot lines are carefully being taken care of. hope they will carry on with 4-5 seasons more

No, I don't. Are you sure that you're using the right codec? I'm not sure if that would make a difference, I guess it shouldn't but...

DivX, yeah?

I just play them with Windows Media.. is there something I should download to watch them with? I don't know much about DivX 

[makane]

Just download Ace MegaCodecs pack and you can play any shit you want 

[unoturbo]

I had a slight out of sinc issue with the last episode (15), but nothing major.

Lost is fantastic, I'm completely hooked, although I wish they'd explain a little more instead of throwing up more questions each episode. I just hope they have a decent ending planned and know where it's all heading, otherwise I'll never watch TV again.

My own theory is that the Island has something to do with the Cold War and is some sort of mind powered weapon. That's why they needed Walt coz he has uber crazy mental powers. I also think this weapon has been adapted as an experimental power generating facility of some sorts, run by a secret agency who made the plane crash and is also controlling a lot of what happens to the survivors for some reason. Although I had smoked a lot of drugs when I thought of that.

[Eugene Klein]

The girl who helped Claire is the same actress who worked in Malcolm In The Middle, the krelboyne girl. She's gonna be a regular.

Good riddance, i don't like that character.....

Me neither.. she really pissed me off from day 1.. most characters on the show are love-hate but she is just hate-hate!!

[Jim]

I'm actually kinda dissapointed that she's leaving.

Don't get me wrong, I hated her as much as the next guy...

But watching some of her scenes again, it made me realise that it was the creaters who fucked up her character. She's a great actor.

But if she was being a bit of a bitch,

then good riddance, I guess.

[badapple81]

Most characters on that show are really love hate. Jack pisses me off sometimes but there's a part of me that really likes him over Lock.. then I get pissed that Jack won't just sit down and listen to Lock occasionaly and has such an attitude.. and sometimes Lock just shits me to tears 

Well im almost done downloading E15 so I'm almost up to date!
