Guest blicero Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Oh, and am I the only one who is a bit bothered by the fact that the LOST intro title is extremely glitchy? seems like the most basic AfterEffects job ever. could someone explain to me: a) why was Ben bloodied? and b) why did jack not say, "Hey Ben, why are you bloodied?" a) i'm guessing ether widmore or something he had to do to get hurley and sayid in place b) that would involve characters talking and actually telling each other stuff a) i thought that Ben might've gone off to murder Penny ( i.e. "I made a promise to an old friend of mine--just a loose end that needs tying up" = Ben told Widmore he would kill his daughter as revenge for his own daughter's execution). b) this is my #1 complaint about Lost.

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 a) i thought that Ben might've gone off to murder Penny ( i.e. "I made a promise to an old friend of mine--just a loose end that needs tying up" = Ben told Widmore he would kill his daughter as revenge for his own daughter's execution). ah yeah smart. i didnt think of that. makes total sense. plus then desmond would come to the island to get ben. what do we know about charlies upbringing? we know he has a brother, not sure what else.

Guest blicero Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 yeah, i'm curious if the non-lostees on the plane will survive the crash as surrogates for the lostees that they couldn't get. i'll bet money that one of them (probably the scruffy chicano) is a widmore plant.

Guest David R James Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We are due a good episode, the new one has to be better than the shit we've had the last 2 episodes. Thank fuck for that, an actual epic episode. This is why i watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 b) that would involve characters talking and actually telling each other stuff LOL that's the reason I watch the show. Because it's like an artistic mind-fuck of people not talking to each other. "We must continue walking towards the station" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David R James Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I was dissapointed that jack didnt die wen hitting the water after diving into to save hurley, that would of made it a 5 star episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest catsonearth Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 yeah, i'm curious if the non-lostees on the plane will survive the crash as surrogates for the lostees that they couldn't get. i'll bet money that one of them (probably the scruffy chicano) is a widmore plant. i don't think the plane crashed, i think they just maybe flew through some kind of zone where the island was and got sucked up in the time traveling lights and just disappeared. probably something like "only the people who were on the island can get sucked up" or some other such nonsense. i know this is probably the case because hurley bought up the whole section of the plane they were in so the writers wouldn't have to explain later how a bunch of people disappeared into thin air in the middle of a plane full of onlookers. junk science, ftw!

pcock Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 i tired to do that this time and got bored last week and ended up watching all 5 episodes at once. the storys great, but everything else about the show is just starting to piss me off. lost would have been 100 times more enjoyable if it was a book rather than a tv series.

Squee Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I wonder if they'll spend the rest of season 5 explaining what has been happening for the last 3 years on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 my wife thinks that they were gased on the plane and then moved to the island via another route. so it was all to mess with their heads. interesting theory me thinks. makes more sense than flying through the sky and then blamo your on th island.
