Official Preview:

"Do No Harm"
Claire goes into labor while a helpless Charlie goes into panic mode. Meanwhile Locke is missing, Jack tends to a wounded survivor and Sayid presents Shannon with a romantic surprise.

TV Guide Preview:

Will Boone survive his fall in the smugglers' plane? Is there something supernatural going on in that hatch of Locke's? And could Claire have worse timing? Just when it begins to look like the island is about to lose one of its own, rumor has it a new face will be making an appearance, courtesy of our pregnant Aussie. Let's just hope a certain "other man" isn't around for the blessed event. And that the event is, in fact, blessed. — Damian J. Holbrook

Sounds like another dramatic episode. And for the record, I'm done trying to figure out whats going on with the island, I'm officially just along for the ride.
 
I've got the hour cleared. PSP Twisted Metal until then.

BTW, maybe the thread title should be edited? 7e? I can already see GAFers lining up to drop-kick your scrotum, after they tune in to see the last minute of the episode. :D
 
YOU SHOULD NOT BE READING THIS THREAD IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE EPISODE YET, SERIOUSLY, HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE?

Now that that's out of the way, SPOILERS:

Really liked the last scene of the episode with the music overplaying, very emotional and well done. And personally, I hope that
Boone
is the guy who the producers were talking about when they mentioned someone was dying before the season was over.

Even though two important things happened this episode, it did seem kind of uneventful (mainly because nothing surprising happened ie the window in the hatch lights up). The next episode should be great though, when does that air?
 
Awesome episode IMO.

The moment Boone was saying about the hatch and the plane and not telling anyone about those, I kinda knew that that was it. When I finally see Boone died, I still couldn't believe it.

HOLY FUCK PREVIEW FOR SEASON FINALE = OWNAGE MY BABY BOOM BOOM.
 
Great ep. Was into it all the way.

Felt they revealed too much in this week's "Next time on Lost" segment, though.
Maybe hold off on showing the shooting of a cast member until the episode airs?
 
Poor Boone. :(

The next few weeks certainly look pretty interesting...and I hope they damn well provide some answers!
 
Mike Works - The next new episode will air four weeks from today, May 4th.

Very good episode. Sure, there wasn't anything real shocking, but it was damned good. I feel like the show is really starting to find its voice and a beginning to really incorporate all the characters. A lot of the early episodes would only feature a couple characters, but now a lot more of them are playing important roles, and I think that's really helping to raise the bar.

Also, let me just say that the preview for the next new episode, or the rest of the season, seemed to show quite a bit. I kinda wish I had changed the channel.
 
Okay, I admit it, I teared up a little at the ending. I think it was the music, and the bittersweet moment at the end with
everyone happily around Claire's baby, and Shannon and Sayid walking down the beach to them.

Is the new episode going to be next week? Is it the season finale?
 
Okay, it'd probably be nice to spoiler the info about future episodes. Secondly, the next episode IS NOT the finale. We've still got 6 hours left I believe, if I understand how the finale is working properly.

If they showed it then I highly doubt he will die. I would expect them to have the sense to leave the big secrets till the episode. The shooting must not be that big of a deal in the long run.
 
Hmm... a new life is born, as a life is taken.

Coincidence? I doubt it...



And if I've learned anything from watching 24 it's to NEVER watch the preview for the next episode./
 
Also, did anyone else feel that
Jack's marriage
was leading up to something, yet not resolved? (at least not in this episode)

Folks, we're heading into the home stretch.

This episode was, officially, the juxtoposition of Life and Death. It signals the birth of one, and the death of the other.

The music sequence at the end was spectacular, and the island parts ended up cohesive...but damn, was that back story weak. It's clear that these will be back next season, because that was the most pointless back story yet. So...Jack is/was married. The only link I can find between them is Jack's inability to let go...but that was tenuous and lame at best.

The episode wasn't boring, persay, only uneventful. Clearly, the Locke issue wasn't to be resolved here. What should be very interesting is how they deal with the fact that the next two backstories (
Sayid and Kate
) really don't have much to do with the core mysteries.

The episode was "good" and only good. But, this is expected. We've now got a death out o the way, the birth out of the way, and the deadline for the raft being finished looms as well. We've got all the pieces falling into place, a few at a time. Let's see where it heads.

Some Spoilers here, just regarding backstories in future episodes:
The final THREE hours of Lost are all "Clusterfuck Backstories", like the Pilot. It will be covering all characters, so a loose end like Jack's Marriage could be resolved.
 
Great episode. I didn't find it boring at all... In fact, I was rivited. The were no OHMYGOD surprises, but the acting and suspense were top notch. I was cringing the whole time
when Jack was going to cut off Boone's leg.
I also felt that Jack's back story seemed incomplete.
He's not married now, right? I thought they would show how his marriage ended. I actually expected him to back out of it when it was time for him to give his vow. I suppose they're just stretching out the back stories for future episodes.

The backstory wasn't weak at all. The point behind it was that Jack has a hard time letting go, and they played it up to the fullest. Then, on the island, he had to let go, and he even had to give up a promise. That was a big step for his character.

What do they mean by special one hour episode? did they mean two hour? Or did they mean one hour total not counting commercials?

I think we're getting a One-Hour "Previously on Lost", if I had to make a guess at it. The hype machine for the finale begins.

For me, this was the first back story that really could have been summed up in one quick sentence and was entirely unnecessary. It seemed like an arbritrary link to the episode itself, and it would have pretty well been the exact same without it. We care enough about Jack, by this point, to see his pain through Matthew Fox's quality acting. We do not need it hammered into our brains. Other backstories really add an extra dimension to a character; all this did was paste on a conviction that was clear in his actions in the "surgery".
 
good episode overall...my main problem is with the end and the teaser....

Jack is calling Boone's death murder based on the sentence fragments Boone uttered?!?! WTF Jump to conclusions much? I got pissed with the locke getting shot thing too, but there's no way they would show that if it actually happens, or kills him at least. If Locke dies, the show will lose a TON of its character IMO.

Better?

Well, here's what Jack knows. Jack knows that Locke lied about what happened to Boone, and he knows that something crushed Boone's leg. He knows Locke ran off right after dropping Boone off at the caves, and everyone knows Locke's been a shady guy. Doesn't seem real far-fetched to think that Locke was involved.
 
Ok...that's a little better...and it sounds like
Jack wouldn't be the one doing the Locke shooting b/c he was wondering where the key for the gun case was. So maybe it won't be lame afterall.

What am I talking about LOST hasn't let me down yet, it won't start now.
 
I wonder what Boone wanted Jack to tell Shannon, he died before he could choke out the rest of the sentence.
 
hey, could someone please tell me what codec the audio on the LOL Lost rips is?

I finally bought the powerbook i spoke of in another thread, but the episodes i downloaded arent working. the video codec is working fine, but it has no idea what the audio is encoded in.
 
Since I bitch if people don't spoiler tag things, I'd like to thank my fellow Lost fans for being so ridiculously disciplined. I avoid the previews, so much respect for not revealing anything.
 
About Jack's marriage, I dunno about it being unresolved. It's resolved from where I'm sitting... before marriage, he had a lot of doubts but then he overcame it. I don't see how there's more to explain than that.

You're right, but I think we can safely assume that they got divorced or she died. This has been the first mention of any wife of his, so far as I can remember.
 
We can assume that, but I don't think we can safely assume it. They haven't brought up any of his relationships besides the one with his father, have they? Also, unless they're saving her death or divorce for season 2, I don't think they'll have time to do a story on her this season. You could easily be right, but if you are, I bet they're saving it for season two.

Yeah, maybe he hasn't brought up being married since he wants to bang Kate.
 
Awesome episode. I knew he was
gonna die! Poor Boone

That he wanted to bang his sister at least one time before he died?? :lol

Julie Bowen was in it. I heart her.

I could tell from the voice at the little dinner that it was her...the slow reveal made it like she was going to be deathly paralyzed. It was very odd. She did a good little job in the role, though she will always be Carol from Ed. FOREVER.
 
How can you hate someone who did this:

"Went to Costa Rica on her honeymoon. While there, she and her husband helped newly-hatched baby turtles crawl from their nest to the ocean, ensuring that the group survived instead of being attacked by predators."

From imdb.com



I thought she was great in Ed.




Meanwhile, back at Lost.

As i said last week, i thought boone dying was the best thing for the show, it gets Locke out of his trusted position within the camp and makes everyone think again about him, we already know Jacks position but it will be interesting to see what Walt & Charlie and all the others that really trusted him do now.

I loved how Jacks back story gave you the impression that he didnt let go of his new wife (Yet) but he did let boone die, then they revealed he's not letting Boone go yet either (by going after Locke).

I could go on for hours, the show is just so rich with content every week, easily my favourite show right now. God damn you americans and your crazy TV schedules why do i have to wait till the 27th for the next one?
 
Boone's death also twists up the whole Sayid and Shannon thing. Will she push him away as she grieves or will they get closer. I also hope they show us what Locke saw in the portal before the end of the season.
