Re: LOST (spoilers)

[ QUOTE ] What a staggeringly uninformative episode. [/ QUOTE ] People need to pay attention more as well as have some patience. If they gave us everything in huge chunks it wouldn't be any fun. 1) They have a list of people's names and some knowledge of the background of these people. That's pretty big in my opinion. 2) They took "good" people for some reason. This ties into eugenics - creating a "master race" - one of the Hanso Foundation projects. 3) Perhaps the most out-of-place clue in the series to date: a glass eye? What the hell does that have to do with anything? Unless it's just a setup and we'll later come across someone with one eye. [/ QUOTE ] best post in the thread so far. well said on all accounts.

[ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] I feel the same way. [/ QUOTE ] Me three. 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.

Re: LOST (spoilers)
Pretty good episode. Season two isn't season one, but season one was so ridiculously good that its hard to be topped. Thus far, season two has been somewhat slower, but overall solid I think. Many clues are more subtle, such as the teddy bear one and you have to have patience and be attentive, something many people don't seem to want to do with TV. I think it's rewarding to catch really nonobvious clues and hints. It's still the best thing on TV from my perspective.
It's interesting how they keep stressing that they want children [Alex, Turnip head, two tail kids]. The only thing I can think is that its the only way for them to get fresh blood and they want to continue their clan into the future.

[/ QUOTE ] 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.
