So I'm finally around to watching Lost.

[Frozen Sooner]

I didn't want to go into the main thread, 'cause that way there be spoilers.

Netflix is great for catching up on shows, I've decided.

Does this show ever go anywhere? I've watched most of Season 1-like all but three episodes-and it looks like they just run around in circles a lot. Every so often a crazy French woman shows up.

Well shot and the dialog is well-written and delivered, but does this come to a point sometime soon?

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

It's only been about 70 days.

[OKC-SLC]

Froz, I'm here to tell you something: the show goes NOWHERE.

My wife watches it, and I think it's the cheapest way to garner an audience--interesting and random suspense that never resolves. Just when you think something is going to be clarified, you are left disappointed.

Good call using Netflix. And good luck with the whole 'getting somewhere on Lost thing'.

[Frozen Sooner]

It's only been about 70 days.

Shoot, after 70 days I would have reinvented airplane and gotten off that place. ;)

[Frozen Sooner]

Ha ha! The a-hole science teacher blew himself the **** up!

[Sooner_Bob]

Well hurry up and catch up with the rest of us Lost fans . . . heh.

Get it?

"Lost" fans.


:D

[jk the sooner fan]

froz - this is not your typical show.....as crawfish said in the official thread, this show requires some committment, much like a novel....its deeper than anything i've ever watched.....they spend alot of time on character development

its not a fedex (overnite answer) show

[Frozen Sooner]

Oh, I'm watching. Like I said, I'm enjoying the dialog and the cinematography, and that's enough for the film fan in me to keep going.

I was just wondering if it was just a character pastiche or there was a real plot underneath everything.

And hey: A-hole science teacher got himself blowed the **** up!

[jk the sooner fan]

there's a ton of subtleties in this show...characters will weave in and out of each others life without knowing it.....you really have to pay attention to detail on the back stories.....be good at remembering/recognizing faces

there is a plot - its survival! getting off the island

[Frozen Sooner]

See, I don't think the survival/getting off the island aspect has been played up enough. It seems like once they figured out they could kill a pig or two and could eat the fruit (with the exception of Hurley's colon blow) survival wasn't really a big deal.

I'm still not sure that anything will ever get answered, although i still like the show; you just have to accept it and keep watchin'. :pop:

[Norm In Norman]

What you should do is watch the entire first season then read the entire first season thread.

[crawfish]

Hey, froz...You've got some Arnzt on you!

Lost rocks. It is methodical...lots of character development and backgrounding, slow to reveal plot points. The show has redefined itself each season. Part of the fun is the discussion inbetween each show.

It's really like a novel being presented as a TV show over multiple seasons. It is one story...each episode is a chapter, or part of a chapter. It's the same way in season 3. Watching the DVD's is nice in that you can consume the episodes quickly, but you lose some because there's no analyzing of each episode as you wait for the next one.

Glad to have you on board...hope you stick around!

[Frozen Sooner]

Yeah, I'm in. Season 2 is now in the NetFlix queue. Though I don't know if I want to wait that long. I may head over to BestBuy and go ahead and get Season 2.

[Frozen Sooner]

Captain Disposable Income strikes again!

I just went out on glare ice after the first major snowfall of the year at 7pm to buy a season of a TV show I already have in my NetFlix queue.

Why is it that people lose their damn minds when the first snowfall hits? Seriously, people. It's snow. We drive on this stuff every year at about this time.

[Norm In Norman]

Oh man, you are gonna get ****ed when you get caught up and have to wait between episodes. Especially when ABC doesn't show it for 8 weeks for no apparent reason.

[jk the sooner fan]

he can spend that time reading the threads for each season! :)

[Frozen Sooner]

Yeah, patience isn't my strong suit.

What's kind of nice is that the show is shot in 720p, then downconverted to 480p for TV. When my HD-A1 upconverts it to 720p, it looks better than most TV DVDs.

What's sucky is that ABC isn't in HD up here, and since ABC=Disney=Blu-Ray board member, no Lost HD-DVDs for the forseeable future.

[Frozen Sooner]

"I mean, every so often someone blows up on you, but you get to sleep in every morning."

Hurley is greatness.

I'm going to talk about Lost in this thread until I get caught up. You guys can laugh at me when I speculate and get it wrong.

[Frozen Sooner]

Creepy Walt with water streaming off of him freaks me out.

[Frozen Sooner]

Yeah, Jack, why WAS Hurley in a psych ward?

[Frozen Sooner]

OK, so now we're getting somewhere. We're in the bunker. We're watching some film footage. The computer is blown up.

Hmm. Locke pulls a copy of The Turn of the Screw from the bookcase when get gets the film reel. One of the themes of this book is whether the narrator is delusional or not...

[Frozen Sooner]

Ooooo. The Dharma Initiative. Cool little swan logo. I wonder what the significance is?

I'm digging the sitar music on the orientation film.

[Frozen Sooner]

Hah, what an idiot. He mispronounced zoology. That's gotta be a clue.

Ah. The Swan is the name of station 3.

[Frozen Sooner]

C'mon, dude. What about the guy at the other station? Maybe HE's putting in the crazy numbers.

[Frozen Sooner]

So is anyone gonna laugh at me while I thrash around here?

[colleyvillesooner]

This thread reminds me of a Jim Gaffigan joke:

Hey I just saw Heat!
Heat? I saw that movie like 6 years ago
Yea but I wanna talk about it now!
No, loser

[colleyvillesooner]

oh, and you think it's weird now, just wait till the spaceship comes and picks them all up. ;)

[Frozen Sooner]

I don't care what you want to talk about. I provide plenty of value on other threads.

When's the SO gonna give back to ME? Huh?

Is there ever going to be a rainbow?

;)

[crawfish]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!


















You're welcome.

[nanimonai]

Did you get to the part yet where they find a Comfort Inn on the other side of the island?

[Sooner_Bob]

Yeah, I'm in. Season 2 is now in the NetFlix queue. Though I don't know if I want to wait that long. I may head over to BestBuy and go ahead and get Season 2.


tvtorrents.com . . . I'd be happy to send you an invite and get you some credits to start downloading if you want.

[Frozen Sooner]

Nah, that's OK. Thanks though. I went ahead and bought season 2 and I'll catch up on 3 through iTunes.

[OUDoc]

tvtorrents.com . . . I'd be happy to send you an invite and get you some credits to start downloading if you want.
Sure, Bob. You never sent me an invite. Had to earn credits on my own. ;)

[Frozen Sooner]

What the hell is with this hyper-aggressive Latina?

[Frozen Sooner]

Ha ha! Boone was just talking to the people on the other side of the island!

No rescue for you turds!

[Frozen Sooner]

Ah. Crazy Latina was the one hitting on Jack in the airport bar. I guess I should have picked up on that.

[Frozen Sooner]

I just realized who Jack looks like. Adam Sandler.

[Frozen Sooner]

Man, that Anna Lucia is straight up nuts.

[Czar Soonerov]

Yeah, I'm glad they killed her off.

[Frozen Sooner]

Does she get nekkid first?

[Frozen Sooner]

Grrr.

So Kate sets her house on fire after putting the insurance policy in her mom's name.

Mom doesn't have an insurable interest in the property. The beneficiary of an insurance policy must have an insurable interest in the subject of the insurance. That's why you can't take a life insurance policy out on some random person-without an insurable interest in them, they're worth more dead than alive to you.

[Frozen Sooner]

What the hell? Why does Kate think Sawyer is this Wayne cat?

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Does she get nekkid first? Yes. With Kate.

[Frozen Sooner]

Rawr.

[Frozen Sooner]

Mr. Eko is a bad man facing down the cloud-monster thingie.

I'm guessing that's the "incident" that happens when someone tries to communicate with the outside with the computer?

[Frozen Sooner]

Well, Claire was quite the yainch to Charlie there. It's not like he was grinding babies up and shooting them into his veins.

[crawfish]

Would you hurry and catch up already?

[Frozen Sooner]

Man, I'm on my fourth episode today!

[crawfish]

I guess I can't complain. It's taken me three years to catch up on seven seasons (so far) of Stargate SG-1.

[Frozen Sooner]

Want some free advice on SG-1?

Stop watching pretty much right there. Actually, I think 8 might still be OK.

[crawfish]

Want some free advice on SG-1?

Stop watching pretty much right there. Actually, I think 8 might still be OK.

Tough to stop when I'm soooo close. :)

I've got seasons 8 and 9 queued. It's already going downhill somewhat, so I don't have great expectations for the rest. I just wanna be caught up when the TV-movies come out next year.

[Frozen Sooner]

You know what? If I was Hurley and Sawyer called me Jabba, I would feed him to the Sarlac.

And by "feed him to the Sarlac" I mean "Beat him over his head with that chicken he's roasting."

Now how the heck does a baby get out in the water? That's gotta be a hallucination.

That's real nice symbolism they've got going there, though. A kid named "Aaron" in a reed basket out on the water.

Whoa, Charlie just freaked the f out and hallucinated a painting?

[Frozen Sooner]

This music video they're shooting for Driveshaft is awesomely terrible.

[Frozen Sooner]

Would someone just let Charlie baptise the damn baby?

I hope Charlie beats Locke's *** soon.

[Frozen Sooner]

OK, so how, exactly, is Mr. Eko a priest? I assume he's just passing himself off as one, but to what benefit? His brother was the priest they found dead on the Heroin plane, right?

[Frozen Sooner]

Sawyer is a bad man.

[OUDoc]

His brother was the priest they found dead on the Heroin plane, right?
Yes.

[lil'duck]

Sawyer is a bad man.

you think so? wait to see all the indiscretions of the other characters. There's plenty to go around on this show.... I'm all about Sayid, though. yummy. :)

[Frozen Sooner]

you think so? wait to see all the indiscretions of the other characters.

Bad man as in "Ha! What a cool guy to run the long con on that girl and even tell her what a long con is while he's doing it!"

[jk the sooner fan]

you're just getting to the good part of season 2....lots more to watch, lots more questions you'll have

[Frozen Sooner]

I'm tellin' ya JK, I've got a sickness here. I'm on episode 7 for the day, I think. I haven't even left the house.

[jk the sooner fan]

well, there's one more episode this season until february....we get a long break and then 16 episodes in a row

i'm anxious to see next weeks show

you'll be able to catch up on season 3 between now and february.....its definitely alot to absorb

[Frozen Sooner]

Sayid's about to torture a bitch up in here!

[lil'duck]

Sayid's about to torture a bitch up in here!

awesome. Your sickeness is totally warranted. This bit is cool ****. Sayid is my hero - if only I had the balls....:)

[Frozen Sooner]

Damn it, Sayid, break one of the dude's fingers just for being the kind of idjit who balloons around the world.

[Frozen Sooner]

YEAH! He's got the tinsnips out!

That dude doesn't need that joint!

[lil'duck]

YEAH! He's got the tinsnips out!

That dude doesn't need that joint!

okay, so who do you think is the toughest at this point in time?

Jack
Sawyer
Sayid
Locke

Just curious...I'm so re-living it with you tonight. ......:)

[Frozen Sooner]

Who do I think the toughest dude is like who would win in a fight?

Jack's got unplumbed depths.

[lil'duck]

Who do I think the toughest dude is like who would win in a fight?

Jack's got unplumbed depths.


yeah, sure, who would win in a fight - but better yet, who do you think would survive best on the island??

[Frozen Sooner]

Heh.

Sun: How's your book
Sawyer (Holding "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret."): Predictable. Not enough sex.

[whatsername]

Sawyer is not one of my favorite characters, but I do have to give him some credit just for being a reader.

I'd go nuts if I thought I'd ever run out of books to read. :eek: Scary!

[TexasSooner01]

Sawyer is Hawt! i would love to be "lost" with him! :D

[Frozen Sooner]

What.
The.
HELL???

So Hurley is worried about the fact that he's eating too much, so he just decides to just dump all of the (to his knowledge) limited supply of food?

How unbelievably selfish. Hurley is no longer my favorite character.

I'm glad that that girl is going to die before he gets some.

[Frozen Sooner]

Heh. Bri, if you're reading this, doesn't Dave look a lot like Brian Bendis?

[Frozen Sooner]

Ahh, so crazy Mexican chick was supposed to be Jack's father's bodyguard?

Hmm. And Jack's father wound up dead in an alley...

[Frozen Sooner]

Awww. Libby died. That's what you get, Hurley! Fat people don't get to love!

[Frozen Sooner]

Only 7.5 more episodes before I'm caught up with the rest of you peeps.

I should also say that Anna Lucia deserved to die for being a crazy yainch.

[Mjcpr]

Pace yourself.....we have a 3 month layover. :mad:

[Frozen Sooner]

Yeah, I know. I just dl'ed the first six episodes of season 3 off of iTunes. Sadly, that'll give me a better picture than I can get off of broadcast (as I don't get ABC-HD yet.) At least what's coming off of iTunes is 480p.

Anyhow, I'll finally get to hang with the cool kids in the Lost threads. I'm going to feel so alive!

[Frozen Sooner]

Ahhh. More connections revealed. Libby and Desmond and Mr. Whitmore..

[Frozen Sooner]

Desmond is seriously, seriously messed up.

Issues, man.

[Frozen Sooner]

OooooOOOooOOOooo. Bright light.

[Frozen Sooner]

You know, I don't know that Michael is a jerk. I don't know what I'd do in that situation-if my child was being held hostage I don't know that I wouldn't sell my friends out to save him. What's more important-your patriarchal duty or your societal duty?

[Frozen Sooner]

SEASON THREE BEYONCES!

[Frozen Sooner]

OK, this sheet is getting seriously weird.

And any guy who says Kate isn't his type is not wired right.

So these guys have totally modern facilities? The Others?

Nif
Ty

[Frozen Sooner]

Heh. Sawyer abuse rules.

[OU4LIFE]

And any guy who says Kate isn't his type is not wired right

not while i'm at work Doc, I can't handle that.
