However, I actually enjoy the show's normal slow pace and would have liked this to be more detailed and spread over a few episodes. But I can't imagine the bitching that would be done on here by the "tell me everything now" sorts.

i'm of the opinion that based on season 1 (which i saw on dvd over a couple of days), the writers have earned a great deal of leeway to tell this story in whatever pacing they feel is best. since i haven't really got a clue what's going on and they do, i'm willing to go along for the ride. i view it as a very long movie. it isnt always gonna be a million thrills a minute, but the slower parts are important to the overall picture. ive seen nothing so far that indicates they arent in complete control of their story.

ive read an interview w/ the writers that said that they had the enitire story laid out from the beginning. however the finer detailers such as the lotto numbers didnt play such an intricate piece of the puzzle.

when they saw how people on the internet were going crazy over this they incorporated more into the story line while still staying true to the original story line. they can bend the story w/out breaking it.

The part I can;t stand is when they leave the whole mystery part and go back to the mundane lives of the original suvivors. IOW, I don't want to see half the next show dedicated to Charlie looking for berries on the island so he can suck up to Claire and the "buy-bee" - or anything like that. I really don;t care about his heroin habit either.

you have to remember there are alot of experiments going on with telepathy...do you think flight 810 was part of the experiment? They said they were 2000 miles off track..could it be from the magnetic pull?

And how come the "others" havent found the bunker?

People that watch this show just to have everything solved for them and then complain at the end of each episode are annoying. It's a 5 or 6 season show if I'm not mistaken so enjoy the ride because it's going to be a while before you get what the hell is going on.

Also, I thought this was a very entertaining episode with lots of little subtle information.

What a staggeringly uninformative episode.

Will somebody please kill Michelle Rodriguez?

You are both retarded and gay.

Michelle Rodriguez just went REALLY high on my list.

I loved this epp, I thought we learned a ton.

What? I thought we learned a decent amount in this episode... and it's the only one so far where I haven't absolutely detested Ana Lucia.

I feel the same way.

It would have been nice if they'd given themselves about 3 episodes to develop these other characters on even a somewhat similar level as the rest.

also, Ana Lucia for Shannon is not a good hotness trade, not even close.

And as far as I could tell the guys who took Walt had two eyes.

Ouch. What a devastating combo [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Maybe I'm just pissed because her character is such a nincompoop, who can't stop [censored] things up. WHY WOULD YOU INTERROGATE THE GUY YOU KNOW IS THE MOLE ALONE? Explain it to everyone else and set up a situation that you control completely, so you can extract maximum information. But, no, let's take him off somewhere and get ourselves into a kill or be killed situation, with no chance of learning anything but what the guy chooses to say in the span of the few minutes he needs to plan how to kill you.

Somebody REALLY needs to take that gun away from that stupid bitch before she... whoops, too late.

Yeah we've been told they have 7-8 seasons worth of story to tell. Dont expect all the answers anytime soon. I mean, by seaoson 4-5 this show could be in some crazy weird off-the-hook place. Which is something Ive wondered about, they could very easily change this to a more sci-fi ish show easily, they have a lot of room to take it a good amount of places.

And if godforbid it does get canceled, hopefully they will attempt to answer many of the questions that are lying around.
