LOST

The whole button-pushing thing in LOST is weird. What is the button for? Is it really just an experiment? I don't really understand why Jack pushed the button. He's not a believer!

Erick think LOST is a great show. In a way, he likes the flashback and backtrack that they do in the show. I, on the other hand, think the TV network is just dragging their feet capturing the audience's attention as long as possible. I think they are overdoing it. It almost feels like a soap opera now. We also compared it to Battlestar Galactica and Desperate Housewife. Part 1 of 2 episodes.

In this second of two parts episode we continue to talk about lost and what the sequence of numbers is all about. We wonder if the entire LOST series have already been written or if they are writing it as the show goes on.

My wife had a theory, which may be and probably is way off, that everyone in the plane did actually die in the crash. The island is some kind of purgatory where all the inhabitants have to either make peace with their past or give some kind of penance to move on into the after life. The children were taken first by "the others" because they have innocence, and the guy from "the others" said the adults that were taken are "good". As for the button pushing thing...I don't have any solid ideas.

i am in england but im up to date with america on the program. if u noticed the numbers are 4,8,15,16,23,42 which also are part of the flight numbers. 8:15 gate 23 to america. also these are the same numbers that hurley won the lottery with an kate also had a connection 2 these as the man who arrested her did it for $23,000. i also have a theory that the people on teh island all did sumthing bad back home and thats why there on the island. Also when the french women said she heard voices saying they were cuming 4 the boy walt was captured that night. in the bunker you see a sign when lock goes down this is on a shark later on in the series. does anyone else think that when micheal interacts with the computer it is not walt but the tribal people on the computer making a trap 4 micheal to fall into??? i cant wait till the next few episodes of series two. BIGGEST FAN OF LOST EVER ITS AMAZIN.

I'm calling the ending of season two right here. The cliffhanger for season 2 will be the "mystery" counter ticking down to zero. Right when it ticks down to zero, the show will display the LOST title screen and that will be it for the season.
There is no way they will drag that subplot on for another season in my opinion.

Transcript of the first talk episode:

… It was pretty wired…
Sasha: - I got the sunny spot?
John: - Yea we’ve saved it just for you
Eric: - No I thought it was pretty good
John: - I thought the whole button-pushing thing was wired
Chieh: - Yeah
Erick: - They are becoming slaves to it, they would never know what happened…
John: - I think it’s an experiment, they just wanna see…
Erick: - That’s what Jack was saying…
John: - Yeah, but…
Chieh: - But he would have pushed the button, he’s so stupid, I was so pissed…
John: - That he pushed it?
Chieh: - yeah… because it’s just like elongates the show
Erick: - He gave into everybody…
Chieh: - Why wouldn’t he – there is like four people standing around him, why wouldn’t he go push the button
Sasha: - They suck
John: - I think it is some kind of faith statement, like you supposed to live out in faith and just believe that you have to push this button.
Chieh: - Yeah, but Jack is not a believer!
John: - No, but John does, so he’s trying to get Jack to have faith, somehow…
Sasha: (in the background) – How’s Alan doing?
Chieh: - Because other people standing around, they could push the button
John: - so he is the one that has a problem with Faith.
Chieh: - Ok it too late [Unable to hear the end of the sentence]
Chieh: - I could see why I am a Computer Scientist, rather than like a historian or something, or a… or a romantic person
Erick: - Ok [making fun of Chieh] I am not romantic
John: - No he means it in a literary sense.
Erick: - I know…

Transcipt of second talk show.
Erick: - There is a few shows I like to watch… they all are like the nerdy shows
Chieh: - Like what?
Erick: - I like to watch “Smallville”, “Lost” now, that’s a great show, what else…”Supernatural” – I watched it, I am giving it a try see if I like it or not. So far it seems to be the same thing every episode.
Chieh: - Yeah, seems to be repetitive. [unable to hear] just last one, I forgot… I saw Lost
Erick: - Lost is just like… man… they ended it at the same place
Chieh: - Yeah, I know it sucks… I was just like…
Erick: - It was kinda nice that they backtracked it…a little bit to show what was going on you know…
Chieh: Yeah, but I like that technique in movies, but in TV Shows I hate it, because really what they are doing is …
Erick: - Stretching it out
Chieh: - Yeah stretching it out
Erick: - I guess there was a lot more happening in that frame, that timeframe, they couldn’t really show it all jumping from scene to scene, you know what I mean?
Chieh: - They just needed to amm… stretch out the time
Erick: - They left it at the same cliffhanger
Chieh: - They do all these kinda things in the movies all the time, and they do it just fine
Erick: - I think it was fine, I think I could wait another week
Chieh: - I am already tired of waiting just to get passed that point
Erick: - I think the only reason I am not tired of waiting because… am… because I barely started watching when they were giving re-runs of last season. So when they gave that part, it was actually two weeks ago, when I first saw it first time and the next week was a new one anyways so I didn’t till summer – you know what I mean?
Chieh: - Yeah. I am also debating whether give up on this show or not. Because I don’t what that much TV, and when I watch TV I want some gratification and this thing just takes to long may be I wait for a DVD or something
Erick: - [Laughs] And then… Oh yeah the season one is out, I guess you’re already saw it
Chieh: - Well there is not point watching season one because the season one is a drive out to the point to where they get to the hatch
Erick: - Oh, man you gotta be patient [laughs]
Chieh: - I mean seriously why bother watching season one
Erick: - There is another show called “Battle Star Galactica” and I am watching season one, I already know what happened at the end of season two
Chieh: - See but that’s a different show, that’s kinda like an adventure show, they are not like…
Erick: - No it’s drama
Chieh: - Yeah, I know, but they are not like… am dangling a carrot in front my mouth, or… or you nose
Erick: - At the end of the season yeah they did!
Chieh: - Did they really?
Erick: - Yeah, they were… they were going to battle against each other
Chieh: - Yeah but Lost is like the whole time, every single scene they like…
Erick: - I’ll be right back… Every episode, they were… something was going on every episode
Chieh: - Yeah, But coincidentally the point is you don’t really need to watch the previous episode to continue watching now…
Erick: - Yeah you do!
Chieh: - I started watching season two
Erick: - What – Battle Star?
Chieh: - No, no I am talking about Lost, I don’t need to watch season one, I am still you know, I still understand what going on
Erick: - You will like you caught right up
Chieh: - Yeah, so it’s like what’s the point, which means the first season they just either building the character up or just wasting time, they are just stretching time, right?
Erick: - Of course they are! They want it to last like seven or eight years. ABC has been dead lately, now they are starting to pick up again. Like with the “Desperate Housewives” and all that. … that’s what got them back on the map again. They were fading quick, they were… because nobody’s watching their channel
Chieh: - See Desperate Housewives I kinda like, I don’t watch Desperate Housewives, but even though they dangle carrot in front of your face – you have to watch the entire season to really understand what’s going on, because amm … I… I don’t know why actually, but if I jump in the middle of Housewives I don’t know what going on
Erick: - …It’s like soap opera
Chieh: - Yeah, it’s interesting, the episode I did watch…

LOST is on right now. I believe this episode is the one where the groups is going to allow the counter to count down to zero! I put my money on them doing at the last second of the show so that you'll have to wait till the next episode to find out what actually happens after that. What do you guys think?

Chieh
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 21:40:53 -0800

Whatching LOST now, how come they don't seem to hate the guy Who stole all the guns.
Well at least we know how the full-body guy stays "fit".

Sasha
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 21:44:28 -0800

who is the "full-body" guy?

Chieh
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 21:51:03 -0800

You're right Chieh , they will stretch it out till end of the episode.

Sasha
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 21:52:34 -0800

I don't see where they are going with this armory thing . . . how are they going to get the guy to talk by changing the combination on Jack?

Chieh
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 21:58:39 -0800

They will torchur him!

Sasha
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:00:14 -0800

I see now . . . damn . . . commercial again. They always have a commercial when things get good.

Chieh
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:07:47 -0800

this is interesting! good writing! Still time!

Sasha
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:17:30 -0800

It's counting down now!

Chieh
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:17:36 -0800

Damn it! What were the little icons after counting down to zero?! I missed it . . .

Chieh
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:19:04 -0800

What was that?!! that's completely lame!
We all knew something like that would happen!

Sasha
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:20:15 -0800

Now they can take this another whole season!

Sasha
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:21:33 -0800

Lame episode! stupid should Isao-millions of Americans are spitting into their TV screens. Shoot, I will stop watching it-this was my last episode.

Sasha
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:31:30 -0800

It's the writer's way of torturing us . . .

Chieh
Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:33:09 -0800

LOST is so slow! I can't stand the way it keep moving forward and backward, present and flashback, and just tons of questions. I don't know how the fans stand it!

Erick feels that LOST is a show that poses more questions than answers. Sounds familiar? That's the way X-Files was formatted.

Sasha is not really interested in LOST . . . until Michelle Rodriguez got onto the show. Now he watches almost every episode. Listen to this talk show to find out what is so attractive about her that got Sasha glued.

Despite the fact that I think LOST is too slow, we still have two or three LOST fans in our group. Listen to this talk show as they discuss and analyze the second season finale of LOST.

The people in LOST just aren't engineers. Being an engineer, I just can't figure out why they'd act the way they do. It's totally illogical.

Title: Serenity
Weblog: Reality Talk Show
Excerpt: I went to watch the Serenity movie this weekend. Serenity is a science friction based on the Firefly TV show several years back. In this talk show we discussed Serenity, Firefly, and LOST . . . You might wonder how we started talking about the slow-moving LOST TV show, something totally unrelated to . . .
