Lost is back!

TV Guide description:

"Whatever Case May Be" A newly discovered locked metal briefcase might contain insights into Kate's mysterious past.

And if you're into Alias, stay tuned afterward for the two-hour season premiere.
 
I recently ran across this. It's a close up of the comic book that Walt was reading in the first episode (that foreshadowed the run in with the polar bear). Interestingly, it's in Spanish:

Translation:

Flash: What are your plans now? Why are you reluctant to tell us? After all, we're your puppets now.

Green Lantern: We understand how you feel. What we did a half-century ago was wrong. And what they've done to you since then is even further from any possibility of forgiveness.

Other guy: My plan is to die. Thanks to Gunther and the rest of you, I am plagued with illnesses -- but I plan on sharing my suffering/pain with you.

It fell off the front page, and I know how much the mods love "bump" posts.

Is it just me, or has Kate toned up since the last episode? Is this the first ep of the second order?

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

What the bloddy freakn hell? Is my local network airing one too far in advance or was there episode past Dec 8th one where everyone was saying that was last one for about month?
Last episode I seen was huge cliffhanger where Charlie was strung up and barely lived. Then had just found a metal thing in ground. Six mins into this one and makes no freak sense. Last time I trust what people say is last episode I guess, had turn it off. Guess I wait for dvd now :(

This was epsiode 12, wasn't it?

I'm completely hooked to the series. I live in Spain and I got to know about it through GAF. All these "Lost, tonight on ABC" threads got me interested, I got one episode.. and from then all of then.
Did you know that you can get subs in different languages just one day after it's been aired? English, French, Spanish, Polish. Amazing...


No torrent. Yet ;)

No, this is the first new episode since that one.
I'm guessing that Locke and boone(?) are trying to get into whatever they found in the cliffhanger, it hasn't been revealed yet.

Nope, this is the next episode. I don't know how far along they skipped, but "We're about to find out" never seems to have come. Unless that's why Locke needed the axe, I suppose...

Damn cock teases.

edit: Yet again, another great teaser for next week. I'm not complaining, but the teasers seem to be far more exciting than the show. That's their nature, of course, but I really thought they'd show us what those two were digging up.

Great ep.

And nice to see that the "monster" will finally make an appearance next week. Long overdue.

OH MY GOD SUCH A GOOD EPISODE.

NEXT WEEK LET ME TOUCH YOU!

Kate mucho hottie rowr~


Damn Ripclawe totally ruined the contents of the case in IRC, he should be banned for like, another year!

Hey...

Does anyone else think that the plane wasn't what was in the suitcase? They never showed what was in the safety deposit box... well that it was a similar envelope...

I found the
contents of the envelope a little anti-climactic too.

And thanks :D

Is no one else excited that we got to see Sawyer ass?

This show is so good I would be fapping over Hurley's ass. :/

I would post my hula hoop Hurley GIF but I am not allowed to post aniGIFs!


And I totally fapped over his brief appearance. Hurley is LOST, sorry!

Speaking of his one appearance...
how did he know about the random suitcase lock? I found that a bit silly too, hehe

Episode still rocked socks tho.

I enjoyed this episode of Lost...although I turned to my brother 5 minutes in and basically gave a look that conveyed "They left us on a freakin' cliffhanger and they didn't give us any hint as to what the hell it is!". As it is, only Locke and Boone's little conversation even aluded to this. Although, Boone and Shannon's eluded to the sexual orientation point quite clearly.

So...I'm spoiler tag this.
Kate joined up with a group of bank robbers, including her lover, and planned a bank robbery...all to get into the bank where a person she killed had a safety deposit box that apparently had something important in it...that ended up being a small model plane. She was willing to shoot people for that? How did she set this up? Between this and Alias, I am seriously more confused than I've ever been. Like...both seemed to point out the obvious, but in both cases the obvious? Makes no freakin' sense.

Next week looks mucho good...which makes me happy that Sweeps is less important than story. Bravo. Looks like the tradition of long-running storylines that are terrible confusing will live on in Lost as it dies a slight death on Alias.

I think this was the first lackluster episode of Lost. It was just 40 minutes of nothing. The toy airplane in the case was extremely dissatisfying.

See...the briefcase was viewed by most as something that would explain what Kate did...instead it was another character moment. We learned what she did...she killed someone. Instead of learning who it was, what "evidence" she was hiding, all we learned was that she obviously is attached to this because it is something of his that she has and has felt that she must keep. There is more to this than something in a briefcase, and I think that adds more complexity to her character.

I have to note, I loved the touch where we had already seen Kate need help to disarm the gun in the pilot, so her being in cahoots with the guys seemed unlikely with the "I don't know how to use a gun" remark matching up with, at the very least, her earlier reaction to a similar situation. Threw me, and it was a neat little trick.

Filler. I guess this is somehow character building to Kate, but without context of the
man she killed
, it is meaningless. Though a
toy plane perhaps implies a boy. Son? It's possible

Lots of corpses this week though.

Agreed. I wasn't feeling it this episode, and I don't like how they didn't follow up to last month's cliffhanger

Definitely. The one big thing this episode taught was that she is both a thief and one hell of an actor when the situation calls for it. The toy seemed to be just a symbol of something she can't let go, and it's basically going to make her a major target after, well, if you saw the preview for next week...

I think Jack's bit was revealing, too - he's obviously been fighting between his hippocratic oath as a doctor and his responsibility as a leader. The door has been opened previously for him to dirty one side in favor of the other, and the amount of munitions involved was definitely cause for alarm. That he wasn't even-handed enough to put Sawyer in the loop makes him a more interesting character if nothing else.

There'll be more to the toy plane. I do think it was what was actually in the saftey deposit box. She was willing to set up a bank heist and kill for it and she was willing to dig up a body to get to it. Here's the kicker...It was in the Marshal's briefcase with his guns. It was in an envelope marked personal effects. Why not marked as evidence considering that's what she was being hauled in for (so we can assume).

I wonder if the companies, or the people making the show take the amount their show is downloaded as a sort of "ratings"?

I mean, right now This episodes almost getting 2000 seeds, and about 6300 people wanting to download it.

Similar stuff always happens to shows like Stargate Atlantis, The Daily Show, and The Amazing Race, but Lost just smashes them all.

Torrents have no ads, and ads are how the networks make money, I wouldn't look into those numbers if I was in charge of a studio. I wish those people would watch the show when it aired originally. Damn the Nielson setup.

Downloading shows as you want them is the future of TV though, networks know that, they'll get ads in there somehow.


Anyway back to lost...


Interesting episode, I suppose the shannon stuff was lead in to her and her brothers flashback ep thats coming up, anyone know what that song was?

The Kate stuff was just strange, i dont get Jacks reaction at all, he knew she must have done something serious to get chased to australia by federal marshalls, so is he shocked that she killed someone or pissed off because she loved someone before she met him? I dont really like Jack at the moment, his whole "Im the only doctor so i 0wn your asses" ego trip is pissing me off.

The envelope was marked that because they took it off a dead person (the one she killed). Do we know that the personal effects envelope was not in an evidence envelope? How do we not know that when she was arrested they didn't realize this envelope was what she was after and therefore just thought it was personal property?

Jack's blind loyalty to Kate is pissing me off too. I think he and Sawyer should work together, ie. Jack should have told him that he had a key, what was in the case, etc, even
given him a gun.
There are four right? Its gonna be interesting to see how they are distributed.

But Kate showed him nothing but dishonesty and shadyness... yet he still helps her in the end.

If it was from a dead body, wouldn't it be evidence? I was under the impression it was just what was in Kate's pocket, purse, whatever. I.e. personal effects and not related to her crimes. I also still don't buy that it was what was in the deposit box.

Personal effects is what a dead body has on them and they put it aside so it doesn't get lost. If a person was killed they take everything that has to do with the crime as evidence - not stuff in your pockets, but they do check everything. Personal property is what I *believe* it is called when you have stuff on you when you get locked up and they put it aside until you get out. I wonder if her name is really Kate.

Someone photoshop the
airplane
to have elvish writing....like the one ring, at the scene where Kate is at the firepit.

Anyone like the part where the waves were crashing on the beach? Phuket Island, anyone? I thought that was eerie as it was so recent. Nuances like this are why this show is the best on TV and further proves J.J. Abrams is a genius.
 
Hey, is anyone here willing to u/l me the 2nd episode of Lost? I've got everything up through episode six by way of BitTorrent, but for the life of me I can't seem to get a decent torrent for episode 2. REALLY irritating as I want to catch up with the show so I can watch the damn thing when it ACTUALLY AIRS.

PM me if you're feeling benevolent!

What/where is phucket island? Are you(and they) relating this to the tsunami? Hmm, if so, Brilliant!

If you saw the Lost episode last night, the beach village was getting washed away by tidal waves. I was like...oh shit...when I saw that happen.
