Lost: Season Three

[Aadaenyaa]

Gah, February 8-(((

[ambershadow]

I had forgoten that the french woman had a daughter. She does seem to be someone of importance because no one was inclined to harm her.

I will keep watching because I love a good mystery and this is keeping me interesed because of the character development.

They could easily wrap up a lot of the storylines that have been going on for 2+ seasons and begin a new cycle. I really believed that things would have moved forward by now, but no. SSDD. And watching Saywer get beat up week after week? Yawn.
I was really upset that Eco died.

Hate to sound too harsh, it is still a great show, one that I wont miss, but its floundering. There are only a very select few who are going to wait another 3 seasons to find out what the heck is going on. Anyone out there hang with Alias all the way through???

'nuff said.

I've seen everything except the Eko dying episode now, so thought it was safe to come back here.

The producers are aware of that, but the studio will make them drag it out. Same thing happened to Chris Carter and the 'X-Files'. It is a shame, but a certain number of episodes is necessary for american network syndication and that is something like 100. It is all about money.

Do you think the girl (with the boy who released Sawyer from the Bear cage) was Rousseau's daughter (and who then was the boy?)

When Sawyer was shown the other island and told it was his island, how did they do that? Sayid, Jin and Sun sailed right around the island to the fake camp? Are they really on another island? That could be why the Others wanted the yacht so much. How did they get between the islands before?

What's the significance of the literary references: Carrie, Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird?

Have Michael and Walt escaped?

AMAZING! Lost is simply amazing...

The whole show is just great - flashbacks are just WOW!

I really reallly love the way that everything in the show is there for a reason - like the books the characters read, the clothes the chcractars wear, everything we see on screen is specifically place there for a reason - and alot of things point towards the meaning of Lost and its secrets.

Lost has this amazing cult like following which im kind of obsessed about following - and i really just cant wait to find out more!

For instance, the time he goaded Sayid into torturing him to get Shannon's medicine, when he could just have admitted that he didn't have it.

Just thought I would jump right in, and say I agree about Sawyer, to me he seems to want to suffer for the things he has done in his life, which we are finding more and more about. The whole thing with Shannon's medicine as well (as Teresa pointed out), he could have just said or maybe he enjoys pain?

Yes and we dont know yet.

None of the other literary references have every really had any true discernable relationship to the story (eg any of the novels Sawyer was reading). Most seem to be red herrings and cute contrivances.

Doubtful.

Actually, the manuscript that Sawyer was reading that Jack threw in the fire had a direct link to the Darma Initiative and was all about the secret dealings of the Hanso Foundation. I'll try to find the name and the author.

And if she is Rousseau's daughter, why does she have an American accent? The only explanation was that she was raised by the Others. I think Rousseau spoke about them taken her children from her when she first met Sayid.

Lost is really wierd. Everyone seems to know each other before they went to the island. And they all have a purpose for being there. It's rather scary.

[Epic Universe]

I'm starting to think it may have been a mistake for Lost to wait as long as it has to restart season three. I've almost completely forgotten about it by this point.

Is it true there's gonna be seven series than thats it...


I don't know if i've got the stamina!!

[TK-421]

Just read that the Producers of the show are mapping out the end so that they can get out of the various plot lines they've developed. They said 5 to 7 seasons in total. So, we're already half way there. They also said they wanted to avoid the X-Files syndrome. A brilliant show that should of ended 2 years earlier than it did.

[Dave]

I read an interview with them before that said the same thing. They also defended Chris Carter, saying that it is the studios who push for more seasons, and that is exactly what they are currently fighting now. They believe that viewers will not stand these plot lines being dragged out any longer than that, and I have to agree.

I think that seven seasons seems to be about right even for a good series. So, I don't think it is a coincidence that most of the 'Star Trek' series were seven years long. Even though 'Star Trek: TNG' could probably have gone on longer it would have probably gone downhill and it is better to finish on a high. Unlike 'Stargate: SG-1' and 'The X-Files' that probably "jumped the shark" after the seventh season, though I have to say that I began to enjoy 'The X-Files' again later and I'm still waiting to see 'The Lone Gunmen' spinoff sometime.

[ambershadow]

Draging out the story lines any longer would be a waste and would probably be redundant. Babalon 5 was planed to run five years with a definate ending and was the better off for it. I think Lost will be too

[Ian8781]

Absolutely. Couldn't agree more.
