No spoliers! If it hasn't aired on the West Coast, don't talk about it. That includes scenes from upcoming episodes. Otherwise, enjoy!
More time travelin', paradoxical fun for the whole family! Can't wait.
I will be having a small Lost get together tonight. We will be having Dharma Pizza, Dharma Ranch Dressing, and Dharma Soda (I have the labels printed for the full effect). If anyone is in Riverside and wants to join the fun let me know. BYODB
Very nice on the Dharma food & drinks. I may steal that idea.
I'm bringing stuffed mushrooms to a friends house for a Lost party. I'm off! Happy Losting, everybody.
And that is as close as I can come to contributing to a Lost topic.
the episode has just ended and my mind is numb
I know, I'm waiting too.
As for 5 does somebody expect to jump into this show 5 seasons into it? :)
Ask Eric Stephen.
Pretty hilarious
I use the commercial breaks as...well, breaks.
what is happening now?
I for one, was pleased;)
I really should not have refreshed, because you jumped the gun a little haha. But no problem, I knew she was going to show up at some point this season.
She looked kinda younger and even better looking.
Libby, the woman Hurley liked and Michael killed along with Ana Lucia.
Just like Locke is dead. In the now.
Had same exact thought.
and sweet, Nathan Fillion got a show.
One that made sure Desmond did not marry Penny. She sold him the engagement ring.
The producers of the show have alluded that the old lady is a sort of "time police" that aids in making sure the time flow stays correct or something
Literally.
Lots of night scenes.
Poor Neil, once people start forgetting what your name is on "Lost", you're doomed.
I also think Cheech needs to grow his moustache back.
Other than that, a great episode, very exciting. Even if I occasionally felt like I not only needed a map but a degree in quantum physics to keep track of everything.
I will always remember that guy from his Got Milk ad.
Aaron Burr!
ok now, Frogurt's death by fire arrow was the best part of the show. I may be incorrect, but the very essence of Frogurt's character was something of a running joke with the producers.
You should check out the film "Last Life in the Universe." Great and complicated manipulation of time.
Or is time continually going back into the past?
Or does anyone know?
I'm not quite sure I understand all of the details on time travel yet, but my early guess is the group that had Sawyer and Juliette where Russo's people.
I think that the old wooden ship is about to get explained soon
Yes, that film. In my top 3 of my favorite films.
Not time travel, but the film will constantly switch from flashbacks, to manipulated flashbacks, and even a flash forward. And they do not make it obvious, so you have to figure it out yourself.

Now, remind me again, the flaming arrow attack, that had happened to them once before right? I had this feeling of deja vu but maybe that was just me.
And didn't they have vague French accents?
Sounds more South African.
I guess our accents are bottom of the barrel. Which makes southern accents a Rule 1 violation.
Those are cool.
For the record, I did not watch the first two seasons of Lost but since everyone was talking about it I decided to jump on in. Since I already had joined 24 in progress (start of Season 5), I thought of doing the same with Lost but based on what everyone said I had to start Lost from the beginning. I was caught up by the time season 3 started.
As for tonight's episode, the big stand out was of course the "Aaron Burr," whose weirdish features seem to have doomed him to that singular identification.
To make you feel better, I did not start watching Lost until the last half of season 3. I would see episodes randomly in college, while on the Yoda, and be completely confused because of the backstory.
Seems like the series has taken a turn for the worst. I think what made Lost enjoyable were the realistic back stories of the characters.
Now, its basically a sci-fi series..
The Michelle Rodriguez cameo last night saved the episode from being completely boring, non-sensical, and disappointing (especially considering it was the season premiere).
Anyway, I didn't think this year's premiere was nonsensical and certainly not boring.
Thats a good point and one of the reasons why it was going to be hard to sustain what they had for seasons 1-3. I'm sure people can like Lost for different reasons, but I really enjoyed the back stories and even flash forwards...as long as they kept the surreal science fiction element to a minimum (never a fan of the smoke monster in seasons 1-3)...Seems like its morphing into a much more sci fi based show with the time travel, moving the island..Be interesting how that plays in the ratings.

I also thought last night's episodes were very exciting, though most of that was the waiting for them to finally be here, and the reveal of Daniel being back in time was a great way to start.
"Aaron Burr"? I missed that. What's everyone talking about?
Man, why haven't I replaced that commercial in my head with some more useful info?
