I think Mr. Backgammon is possibly racist. He seemed too focused on the whole "light/dark" thing ... as though that was part of his philosophy/world view ... I thought he might be in the KKK or something - where he had in the past taken action against black people and now might find out how wrong he's been.

I work Wednesday nights and have to rely on getting the show taped. I haven't seen last week's or this week's show.
Go ahead with the spoilers, though. It gives me something extra to look for when I do get to see those episodes. Posts: 2034 | Registered: Apr 2004

Damn this confusion. I've just discovered this thread and took a quick look at the "Lost" site and now i want to watch it! In-fact without ever having seen an episode i want to know what happens next week!
When does this baby come to the UK?
Curse you Hatrackers. Curse you for making me need to watch another imported show! Was 24 not enough?!!!

I love the Locke character. Note how his name is John Locke. I thought that was very cool. What I want to know is how Locke became so good with a knife. I'm also guessing he found the pig already dead.
But I want to know- what did he see and why doesn't he say? I want to know about the THING.
I'm assuming, that from the "next week on Lost" thing that the man in the suit is Jack's mind playing tricks on him (or something on the island playing tricks on him which is an interesting possibility) as he said "Dad?". The likelyhood of Jack's father or a lookalike of Jack's father actually being on the island is very small.
I liked how Jack wasn't caring at all and then Rose asked him if he became a doctor because he was so caring. Heh.
I didn't like the fishing business. I didn't understand- was (I nearly wrote Dom, I actually forget his 'real' name) Domonic Monaghan's character sad that he was being used by the annoying girl or was he just confused?

She is annoying isn't she Teshi. I couldn't figure out what the deal was there either.
The Korean wife is obviously interested in the kids dad.
Locke is interesting.
In next weeks previews didn't it show Locke seeing the man in the suit as well?
When Locke came in contact with the "whatever", he was definitely look UP, so it couldn't have been the boar he was looking at.

I want to know how Locke was able to not only stand up, but walk and run, after being in a wheelchair for 4 years. Does the fact that he not only got a miracle cure, but had 4 years of atrophy erased mean something or did the writers just decide not to deal with that?

I think whatever cured Locke's legs, could easily deal the atrophy. I won't mind if they don't specifically mention it.
Maybe the island has a supernatural quality - look for the pregnant lady's baby to cease moving again, only to mysterious come back to life.

What if they're all dead and in purgatory and working their way out????
That would explain Locke getting his legs back.
And oh the drama of the "Monster". It's driving me nuts [insert witty pirate joke] waiting to find out what it is. They can show the camera angle of a boar and the "Monster" hows about the guy looking at it already!!!

I've actually been wondering if they're dead as well. The one woman's comment about her husband not being dead and then saying that those who died probably think everyone on the island is dead struck me as odd. And then combining that with Locke and his miracle...

I has assumed that Locke got the use of his legs back by the shock of the crash knocking something into a different position. The more I think about it, though, the more that doesn't really sound feasible. The miracle cure that also took care of the atrophy actually sounds more plausible.

Does anybody have a full synopsis-like thing of this week's episode? I forgot to record it, and, while this conversation is sort of helpful, I'm not really following it.

Heh... I haven't seen an episode yet and I really have no intention to, but I'm pretty sure reading this thread is much more entertaining than watching the program itself.
How about: They're all unwittingly part of a new reality show? Something of a cross between Fear Factor and Survivor?

I suspect that the Koreans are either just married via an arranged marriage, or were about to be married via an arranged marriage.
His comment last night, "That's what a husband does," and her reaction to it lead me to believe this.

Da Goat, try www.televisionwithoutpity.com - they'll have a short, short summary sometime today, and full on recap later this week.

The whole hallucination thing brought the episode to the perilous brink of silliness... I hope they avoid that in the future.

I get way too much into this show than I should. Last night wasn't brilliant but it was definately good enough to tide me over until next week.
My favourite part was when Jack appeared during the fight and everyone fell quiet. Hooray! Oh, and I also liked the interaction between Dom's Character and the Pregnant Lady (Claire?)

Yeah, the doll in the water really freaked me out, too. I was mildly disappointed with the explanation for it.
That's my worry with this series - so many awesome mysteries, so many questions... can the answers possibly live up to my expectations?

I was happily ignorant of the entire bittorrent community until the other day when somebody posted a lik to the torrent of Jon Stewart on Crossfire. Now, somebody reccomended torrenting Lost. You know what? I did. Now I don't know how I will ever be free of the torrent!
www.isohunt.com by the way, is where I found it. You will not be able to do this without broadband, people. The files are 300+ mbegabytes, but the quality is amazing! It is, I believe, the full HD file, so it's better than DVD. Just search for Lost and click Torrents. You must have bittorrent installed.

Favourite bit: When Dom's character (I still can't remember his name!) gave up his cocaine or whatever for his guitar.
Okay, new development seems to be John Locke's "understanding" of the Island. You've got to give it something and there is his guitar. Was that just because Locke already knew that the guitar was all right, or was it literally "magic"? Hm, perhaps this ties in with whatever Locke "saw" when he saw the THING.

ARGH! Why do I always forget to record it! Now I'm going to have to wait for a Saturday repeat again.

I think Locke knew along the guitar was there. I don't think he even looked up when he pointed it out to Charlie.
Has Matthew Fox's character been in every flashback scene involving the airport or the plane? He was standing at the ticket counter during the Korean couple's flashback.

I was happy to learn some of the Korean couples history. I love the fact that she spoke English.
I'm sure Locke saw the guitar before he told Dom's character. His name is Charlie? Why do I keep thinking Matthew Fox's name is Charlie? Was that his name on "Party of Five"?
The rest of the show...
I'm worried that the show's season will come to an end with important info still out there untold.
Step it up a bit there Mr. Producer!

You're right about the secrets. I guess I'm just impatient. I'd like the show to be two hours instead of one.

The guy who is sort of the criminal type. The one who shot the polar bear. He was reading it when the spoiled blonde came up and asked for some bug spray or something.

Have you noticed that every single episode (exclusing episode 2, which is really just the second half of the pilot) begins with an extreme close-up of a character's eye? I think this is a really cool stylistic detail. I kinda hope they keep it up.

Wow Taalcon, you're observant! I wonder if that's just style or if it has some "other" meaning...

More character development and less island development make for a better show in the long run, but I'm ready for some more detail about the island.
