You can tell why PJ cast Lilly in The Hobbit. She looks like she comes from the same family as Liv Tyler. (Note: I'm not sure if she's even playing somebody that is related to the elves).
Peter cast her because he is fucking awesome, plus Lilly is smoking.
also woow remember that eko gif. dam those lost threads were wild...
 
how many eps was she in...... I may suffer though some if she in them... did she have any lines..... wait probably not I remember her saying LOST was her first speaking role.

According to IMDB she was in three episodes.

– Delete (2004) … School Girl (uncredited)
– Accelerate (2003) … Girl in Cinema (uncredited)
– Kinetic (2002) … Wade's Girlfriend (uncredited)

Guys, where are we?

The pilot still holds up, it's a fantastic episode. The distress signal scene is awesome and creepy.

Why can't I stop re-watching this show?
 
well maybe but he made some good friends on, LOST, and he seem very professional as an actor... that shit Dom sad could be true or not, but I've heard similar stuff about Dom being a Dick as well.... Lilly duped him so that says alot..... But whatever. Still like Fox's acting, and his facial expersions...lol
It's not just Dom, there have been many things to come out against him. Recently he got knocked out by a female bus driver as he tried to force his way onto it. It was a bachelorette party in the bus.
 
Dang I miss this show. Not going to read 110 pages, but I have no doubt it's been said; nothing like it, ever since or likely again.

Need to get my hands on a complete series edition box set sometime soon, they've all but disappeared here in Canada.
 
Regarding Foxy, he was terrible in the earlier seasons but as he grew into the role his acting also grew, season 5 and 6 is excellent, and the church scene with his dad is beautiful.

really straf... :P I think he was the best in s1 and s2 then s6>s3.... I guess though the acting in season 1 was better through out because it had better writers at the time...

nope 99% is hate man so don't read it lol
 
Better writers? It has been the same writers throughout the seasons. :P

not sure of his name but season 1 had a really good writer he wrote some amazing scene... but he quit/left to write for heros.. season 1. which was awesome.
I would link the scenes.. but I'm hung over and lazy plus I don't want to see/watch them again until I do my re watch on my bluray set.... not sure but I still love s1 and s2 and s3 the most... but was not a hater of s6... I was sooo emotional over this show when it was over.... I reallly looooved these characters. so much. I will never love a show was much......I think it has some of the best acting on TV EVER. Shame it mostly got thought aside..... :/ o'well....

Picturing this scenario still cracks me up. Irrationally angry Jack can never not be funny.

I think Season 1 will always be my favorite. The interactions between characters just felt a lot more natural and fleshed out to me. A little awkward at times, but still mostly fun and believable. However, dialogue in later seasons felt very rushed and stilted, merely serving to move the clumsy plot forward.

And I definitely think Fox was at his best in seasons 1, 3 and 6. Those were Jack's times to shine.

Almost everyone was kind of an unlikable a-hole in season 2, though. My least favorite season.
 
What you're stalking me now?

Stalking you, I was protecting you.

From what, Southern perverts?

Yeah whatever.

You hear that?

What, you smell blood in the wind?

You don't hear that?
 
Holy shit, how did Widmore die again? I don't quite remember, must've watched it only once.

I'd guess Ben killed him?

Ben shot him. Because the mysterious rules that prevented them from killing each other until then apparently didn't apply anymore. Somehow.
 
Ben killed him for the Man in Black so that Ben could have the island to himself.

He deserved spending eternity thinking about the error of his ways.

Not about to be THAT GUY. Spoilered for my own safety.
 
Just watched Widmore die for the first time since my first time.

... so good? So good?!

It was the moment Damon and Carlton saying "it's not about the mystery, it's about the characters" was irrefutably proven to be completely bullshit and instead shown to be "it's not about the mysteries, but the nonsense plot we're desperate to fit in".

Widmore not given an ounce of character arc resolvement of character motivation, just "I once was evil and on the wrong side then Jacon came to me and convinced me about real important stuff OH NO I'M DEAD"

Damon and Carlton didn't give a shit about characters or their development.
 
Remember when John Locke had that completely out of character stint as a confident weed farmer, complete with short-cropped hair, when we're later shown he lost the use of his legs when he was still a whiny failure of a man with a comb-over?
 
I was hoping the writers were going to do something really clever with Ben shooting Widmore. I thought Ben shot him knowing THE RULES wouldn't let him actual kill Widmore. So Widmore would survive the shot, effectively saying Widmore from Barry. Guess I gave them too much credit.
 
Remember when the whispers were actual coherent sentences if you anaylsed the audio? When they were still-alive characters, Others, discussing their plans for the survivors and deciding on their next move? And how in the last season it was all "nope, ghosts!"

He was on a compound, delusional and high. He wanted to get as far away from 'normal living' as possible.

Also sure, michael coming out of nowhere to say "the whispers are the dead not ready to move on" was kinda a poor way to answer that
 
Remember when the implication was the polar bears were bred by Dharma to turn the wheel, like when one was found in the exit point in Tunisia, but then Season 5 showed when they were building the Orchid, the people digging were expressly forbidden from actually reaching the cave where the wheel was, so Dharma never actually went there and a polar bear couldn't have turned it?

Remember when Claire's mother was in a vegetative state, without any hope of ever recovering, and then she somehow was in perfect health (and played by another actress) just so she could take care of Aaron-the-inconvenient-toddler?

And the cave was then walled in... behind a lab? Okay...

I though te implication was that the bears were inside the vessel above the cave and that's how the traveled?

Then why fucking polar bears? The wheel room was frozen and cold. And there were arctic coats in the Orchid. Which season 5 would suggest they never used.

OH GOD THE WRITING
 
For me this was a character story... sorry you wasted your time with it lol
Uh, but that's my point. It wasn't. The writers claimed it was. But it wasn't. They didn't develop their characters at all in the end. They threw that all out of the window just so they could tell their crazy magic fantasy battle plot. It is the most blatant example of writers letting their "then this happened, then this happen, THEN this happened!" story get in the way of decent character and theme development.

If you were in this show for the characters, I can't see how you enjoyed it.
 
^ I'm gonna have to agree. "All about the characters" is a disingenuous mantra. It doesn't take much to see that plot largely took precedent over characters in the later seasons. Which wouldn't exactly be so much of a problem if the plot itself weren't so inherently dumb and hollow.

But that's the thing, Widmore was a character too; an extremely influential one. He affected many of our main characters' lives throughout the seasons, so it would've been cool if they had payed off his overwhelming significance in the story's greater context.

The former leader of the Others
The man who helped fund The Dharma Initiative
The man who sent a freighter full of mercenaries that slaughtered half the castaways
Benjamin Linus' main rival
Farraday's father
The bane of Desmond's existence

I dunno, that stuff seems preeeetty important to me. Then all of Widmore's formerly intriguing ambitions - that the writers had built up year after year - get thrown under the bus when Jacob conveniently "shows him the error of his ways" (off screen), before he's subsequently killed off. And I'm led to believe Charles' ultimate purpose was just to bring Desmond back to the Island so he could complete a simple task? Well ok then, why should I have cared about his involvement in the first place?

It's pretty safe to say the writers dropped the ball on closing out his arc in a satisfying way. The same could be said for too many other characters and stories I used to genuinely like on the show.

Locke was confident because he found a family who cared for him.

So after Locke lost his "family" at the hippy commune which he always desperately longed for, he became a depressed old man, taking out benefits for depression and then lost his legs.

Yeah that's definetly a plot hole!

You mean like in season 1 where the whisper is Frank Duckett? A dead man who cant let go of his past because of what Sawyer did to him???

Or how about in season 2 where you hear "hey sis" which is obviously Boone speaking to his sister Shannon right before she dies. You mean like that????

Well in that particular instant they forbid anybody to go near because THEY JUST FOUND IT.

Obviously in time they found ways to approach it safely....

Are these attempts serious????
