LOST discussion - thar be spoilers ahead!

[Darth Caedus]

Agreed... we have already seen the pregnancy thing twice (claire and sun) we dont need to see it yet again.

Methinks it's a red herring, or I hope that it is.

 

[Agent0028]

True it does seem to be a recurring theme, so if it plays a role that way and has some sort of significant impact on the story line I'd be okay with it. But if it's just a character thing or drama thing or non-essential for whatever reason I would prefer it be left out.

 

[-Super Hans-]

is any one else slightly disappointed with how they got back to the island found it was abit of an anti climax really.

 

[Agent0028]

How they got to the island wasn't really something I was looking forward to so much as seeing what happens when they meet up with the rest of the crew.

Not really, I could understand your disappointment though; I wasn't disappointed.I felt it did happen very fast in "316" though. But I don't think the writers saw it as of the utmost importance to take up more than one episode.

Disappointed, no. But they did undercut it presumably by design. For a standard story that would be the big season long buildup and payoff, just as their leaving the island was once expected to be the be climax of the entire series. The writers twist your expectations and focus on the more character driven bits instead, questions like how Ben got hurt. But could they have come up with something different than the 815 re-creation? perhaps.

I"m just glad it didn't take the entire season for them to get back. I initially thought they were going to drag it out the entire season and leave off with them getting back. Now we don't have to wait to see what they are going to do now that they're back.

well IF kate is pregnant, then she'll be fine, since she conceived off the island.

Yeah, I am glad they did it the way they did. It would have really dragged if they spent the next 10 episodes showing how they got back. But now we have the rest of the season to build the story more and now it really gets interesting. This season for me, is shaping up to possibly be the best yet.

That sounds like something HEROES would do though.

 

[Agent0028]

Nah, sounds more like something Lost would have done two seasons ago.

Seriously, look at how long it took to reveal who was in the casket!

 

[Shropt]

And he brought them Lost... and all was good...

IT'S LOST DAY!!! WOOT!!!!

 

[FlyAndFight]

Any chance that our Losties will run into the crew and passengers of the S.S. Minnow?

 

[Agent0028]

If so how long do you think it'll take for Sawyer to shoot Gilligan?

 

[FlyAndFight]

If so how long do you think it'll take for Sawyer to shoot Gilligan?

Won't happen. Gilligan is Sawyer's "constant"...

 

[Agent0028]

Ah, so that's what ABC is going to do, create a Lost spinoff based on the Odd Couple where Sawyer and Gilligan get left on the island and must learn to live and work together.

 

[Darthrazz]

Each member of the Giligans's Island castawys supposedly represented one the Seven Deadly sins.


1. Most obvious is the Professor, who fits PRIDE to a T. Any man who can make a ham radio out of some wire and two coconuts has to be pretty cocky.

2. For the sin of ENVY we need look no further than Maryann, who may have worn those skimpy little tops, but could never achieve Ginger's glamour.

3. And who could doubt for a moment that Ginger is LUST incarnate? Sure, the kids were supposed to think she was ACTING, but we all know what being deprived episode after episode was doing to her. You know and I know that glazed look wasn't boredom, my friends.

4. What kind of person takes a trunk full of money on a three-hour cruise? Mr.Howell gets my vote for GREED.

We are now left with three characters and three Deadly Sins. We have Gilligan, the Skipper and Mrs. Howell to whom we must match GLUTTONY, SLOTH and ANGER. As you can see, there is a Gilligan problem here.

5. Certainly we can further eliminate Mrs. Howell from this equation by connecting her with SLOTH. She did nothing during her many years on the island and everybody knows it.

6,7. This leaves ANGER and GLUTTONY, either of which the Skipper had no shortage. He was, after all, a big guy with the tendency to hit Gilligan with his hat at least once an episode. After much consideration, I have decided that he can easily do double-duty, covering the two remaining Deadly Sins.

So here we have the Seven Deadly Sins trapped in an endlessly recurring Hell of hope followed by denial and despair, forced to live with each other in our TVs until the last re-run ends. And who is their captor? What keeps them trapped there? Gilligan.

Gilligan is SATAN. Think about it.
