LOST.Discuss the current episodes SEASON PREMIERE Wednesday!!!!

[4DisneyfansinNC]

I read the recap, guess we still don't know who it was, or even if it was someone. hmmmm.

 

[TiggerPiglet]

I thought last night's show was great too. I wonder with the way Kate and Sawyer kissed last night, if maybe they'll hook up instead of her and Jack, should be interesting.
I was a little confused last night with Sawyer's flashbacks. Did he not go through with the swindle because when he saw the kid he thought back to himself or did he not realize they had a child and he didn't want the kid to get hurt?

 

[capthooksmom]

Sawyer called off the con when he saw the kid because it brought back his past - mother had affair, father killed her then committed suicide. He saw that he had become the man he wrote to in his letter and couldn't go through with it.

Is anyone else wondering why they didn't show or explain how Sawyer ended up on the plane?

I noticed that they didn't tell us why he was on the plane. Our guess was that he was running from the guy who owes $160k to. We are wondering also why he is there. Everyone else seems to be there to resolve some issues. Has Sawyer resolved anything yet? He still seems like a class a jerk to me. While I understand him more now, I still don't like him anymore.

Last nights episode was intense, the bamboo stuff really freaked me out!!!

Charlie is still my favorite. The peanut butter thing was so sweet.

I'm curious to see Hurley's backstory, he is just so normal. He's so funny too "Dude".

Ooh, I love Sawyer!! He's one of the best characters on the island. Anyway, I've read several theories *not spoilers* on other sites that suggest that he was already on the island. Possibly Brandon that was mentioned in the French transmission.
However he got there, I love him and I love this show. I wouldn't mind at all if they had to do another Sawyer- (or whatever his real name is) centric show and explain how he got there.
Now if it would just be next Wednesday already!

Here's the synopsis for the official "Lost" website:

"Confidence Man"
Air Date: 11/10/2004

Kate is out collecting bananas when she comes across a copy of the book Waterhsip Down on the beach. She looks over to find Sawyer taking a swim. He emerges naked from the surf and shamelessly flirts with her. As Kate questions if his tactics work on all the girls, we FLASHBACK to Sawyer in bed with a woman named Jessica — and his southern charm has certainly worked its magic this time around. They bask in the afterglow and seem very much in love. But Sawyer hops out of bed, claiming that he's late for a meeting. When he reaches for his briefcase, it spills open, revealing bundles of cash.

Back in the jungle, Sawyer approaches the hiding spot where he keeps his stash and finds Boone going through his things. Off Boone's scared expression we go to the caves, where Jack tends to Sayid's head wound as Sayid explains that whoever hit him also destroyed the transceiver. Sayid vows to find the person responsible. Boone stumbles back into camp, bloody and beaten. He explains that Shannon has asthma and has run out of refills for her inhaler. He went to see Sawyer because he caught him reading Waterhsip Down — a book that Boone had in his bag; the same bag that carried the refills. Boone tells Jack that Sawyer refused to give up the refills and attacked him.

On the beach, Charlie delivers water to Claire. He tells her that he's worried about her and attempts to talk her into moving to the caves. But Claire wants to stay on the beach, holding onto hope of rescue.

Jack confronts Sawyer about with-holding the inhaler refills that could help Shannon. He begins rifling through Sawyer's things and the two almost come to blows, but Kate interrupts them, diffusing the tense situation. Jack leaves Sawyer, who pulls out a familiar piece of paper — one that we recognize from the pilot — and begins to read, which launches into a FLASHBACK —

— to the hotel room where we last left him. Jessica is more than curious about all the cash Sawyer has in his briefcase. Sawyer explains that it's his life savings — $140,000 — but only half of what he needs to buy into a share of an oil mining operation. He's meeting with an investor who may supply the other half. Jessica's intrigued and offers a way to get the rest of the money without the investor — through her husband.

Back on the island, Kate tries to calm Jack down. She offers to talk to Sawyer, claiming she can reason with him because, "they have a connection". Kate approaches Sawyer and attempts to appeal to his sense of capitalism. She asks what he wants in exchange for the inhaler refills and Sawyer requests a kiss. Kate doesn't buy that this is what he wants and tries to get under Sawyer's skin by mentioning his 'letter' — the one she's seen him read several times before. Sawyer turns dark at the mention of the letter, forcing Kate to read it out loud. We learn that the letter was written by a young boy who implicates Sawyer in a scam against his parents, which led to an affair with his mother, driving his father to kill his mother and then himself. Meanwhile, out in the jungle, Sayid questions Locke on his whereabouts when he was attacked. Locke claims he was out hunting and points Sayid in Sawyers direction — someone who's been profiting from their current circumstance. Locke gives Sayid one of his knives to protect him from another potential attack.

At the caves, Shannon is in the throes of an asthma attack, as Sun looks on concerned. Sawyer strolls into camp for water, which infuriates Jack, who finally takes a satisfying swing at him. But Sawyer is defiant and doesn't fight back. Jack is left to walk away and off Sawyer's look we —

— FLASHBACK — to an upscale restaurant, where Sawyer, posing as Jessica's co-worker at the bank, explains the oil opportunity to her husband, David. But David is skeptical. Sawyer seems unphased and walks away, but David has second thoughts and calls out to Sawyer, who stops with a grin plastered across his face. Sawyer leaves the money with David in an act of good faith and tells him he'll wait for a decision.

Back at the beach, Charlie and Claire discuss the comforts they miss at home — but all Charlie can think of is food. Claire admits that she too misses food and is especially craving peanut butter. Charlie makes a deal with her — if he produces peanut butter, she moves to the caves, where, at the moment, Shannon is having a much more severe attack and Jack has to talk her down. He storms out to confront to Sawyer again. Sayid follows him and suggests that he knows a way to get what they want out of Sawyer — he was, after all, in the Iraqi Republican Guard. And Jack, having had no luck at reasoning or fighting with Sawyer, can only agree.

Meanwhile, Charlie hunts for peanuts to make peanut butter, while Sun shares a remedy for Shannon with Michael. On the beach, Sayid sneaks up on Sawyer while he's sleeping and clubs him over the head. He and Jack drag Sawyer out into the woods and tie him to a tree, much to Kate's objection. Jack attempts to reason with Sawyer one last time. But when Sawyer refuses to produce the inhalers, Sayid goes about torturing him with bamboo reeds under his nails. Jack can barely stand to watch and calls Sayid off. But there's more going on here for Sayid, who thinks Sawyer is the one who attacked him in the previous episode. Sayid pulls out Locke's knife and threatens to put it through Sawyer's eye. This gets Sawyer to agree to talk — but only to Kate.

In FLASHBACK — we visit Sawyer in a pool-hall, where he explains to his to his 'boss', Mr. Kilo, that he left his money with the mark in order to earn his trust. He explains that the wives are easy, but that the husbands need to think they're smarter than him. Kilo tells Sawyer he had better be right and demands his money, plus fifty percent, by noon the next day.

Back on the island, Sawyer wonders if Kate is going to let Shannon suffer over one little kiss, which he asks for shamelessly and she agrees to selflessly — but what starts as a mercy kiss turns into something more…there's chemistry between them and she may actually be enjoying it. When they break, Sawyer announces that he really doesn't have the inhalers; the copy of Waterhsip Down simply washed up on shore. And Kate smacks him, hard. She tells Jack and Sayid that Sawyer doesn't have what they need. But Sayid maintains that Sawyer is lying and goes back to resume his torture to find that he has worked himself free from the ropes. Sayid attacks Sawyer wielding Locke's knife. They tussle and Sawyer ends up with a slashed artery. Jack pinches off the blood flow, literally holding Sawyer's life in his hands. He sends Sayid to get medical supplies. And as Sawyer drifts in and out of consciousness —

— we FLASHBACK a final time, to David and Jessica's home, where Sawyer is about to close the deal and walk away with $300,000. But when David and Jessica's young son emerges from the bedroom, Sawyer can't bring himself to do it. He calls things off, inadvertently reveals his affair with Jessica and leaves the money behind.

Back on the island, Sawyer sleeps, recovering with a few stitches in his arm. He wakes up to find Kate sitting nearby with his letter. She explains to him that since she first read it, she's been feeling that something wasn't quite right. So she continued to read it — over and over again, when it occurred to her that he wrote the letter — and a 1976 Bicentennial postmark on the envelope confirms it. Sawyer admits that he was just an 8 year old kid when he wrote it. He explains that when he was nineteen, he got into trouble where he owed a lot of money to some very scary men, so he took the name of the man he was hunting and became a "confidence man" himself. But just when we think Sawyer is softening by opening up to Kate, he shuts down and chases her away.

Elsewhere, Sun brings eucalyptus leaves to Shannon, helping her to breathe, while Charlie brings some 'imaginary' peanut butter to Claire and convinces her to come to the caves. Sayid tells Kate he's leaving the camp because he can't face what he did to Sawyer — he plans to walk the shore and map the island. And Sawyer takes a lighter to his letter, about to burn it, but he's unable to go through with it and pockets the letter, right along with his anger…

I'm sure I saw something between Charlie and Claire last night and it was cute

 

[BWVDenise]

That was one HOT kiss!!!!

If I was Kate, I'd be saying "Jack who?"

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

Can you belive I fell asleep on this one. Jeeze I missed the kiss. I think Sawyer is going to turn out to be a good guy. Jack is getting on my nerves he is so goody goody. The imaginary peanut butter was a little much too.
So what do you think will happen when Claire's baby is born? I am trying to figure out how the plot will turn. Will Claire die? Will the baby die? Will Charlie take care of the baby because Claire is dead. Will the baby grow like children do on soap operas...1year equals 5 in soap opera time.
I like the show but it is driving me crazy. I just want more to be revealed faster. Each week they only give a little. I am just wondering, how long have they been stranded on the island? I was kind of surprised last time I heard it was like three days. If the time is actually passing so slowly I think the Claire's baby will not be born till the final show and then we will have to wait to find out the outcome.
I think they should show a summary of what has gone on before the show.

Each show is supposed to = 2 days on the island.
They reveal so little to keep us hooked, I guess. It's working on me. I have to go read theories and spoilers because it's so hard waiting another week for it to air. Oh, and it's not supposed to air the Wednesday before Thanksgiving . I don't know how I'll ever make it 2 weeks!! I am totally addicted to this and Desperate Housewives. TV hasn't been this good since The Soprano's went off for the season.

So, am I the only one who hates the Sawyer character? Why on earth is everyone else letting him hoard all the luggage and supplies. It's not like it belongs to him. And there were only a handful of people who were outraged that he was holding that girl's medicine hostage. I just don't like that they're letting him get away with that crap.

I also didn't like the fake peanut butter thing. I love Charlie, but come on, you can't do that to a pregnant lady. Oh and I also keep calling Jack "Charlie"---I can't get past the Party of 5 thing either.

LOL-I thought I was the only one who likes Sawyer!
I think underneath it all Sawyer is a nice guy, just in a lot of pain. And he is definitely the sexiest guy on that island!! Give me some time, Beth, and I'll find a way to convine you!

Charlie and Claire - I thought the whole thing was sweet, but Charlie's looking good for someone with heroin withdrawals.

I actually typed Charlie (meaning Jack) earlier and had to catch myself. And I've never even seen Party of Five.

Well, I don't doubt that his character will change over the course of the season--for the better. But, I don't really find him attractive. For me, that's definitely Charlie!!!

Now is that Charlie, Charlie or Jack, Charlie ?

Oops-just noticed I left out the "c" in convince!

Nope, you're not the only one. That was exactly what I said last night! None of that stuff is his, he has no right to keep it all. Why don't they just go as a group and do what they have to to him to get it away from him???

Thanks Capthooksmom

I have also wondered why everyone is letting Sawyer get away with him hoarding stuff. The only thing I can think of, is that he has stuff from people who have died.

I've heard rumors that this is purgatory, but I don't know how that would work considering purgatory is suppose to be a place to attone for your sins and they have a young child and dog there. I would think in purgatory you would not find a young child and dog, but again, this is TV

 

[cbusby]

Beth76.............I with you, I think its first impressions, yes Sawyer is good looking but a total jerk!!!!!!!!!.......Maybe as the weeks go by his good side (if he has one) will come out. This show is awesome.

 

[AlwaysAPrincess]

I can't wait for watch every Wednesday!! Have to agree the kiss between Kate & Sawyer....HOT!! HOT!! HOT!!

I also like that Sun is working with the rest of the people on the island. It will be interesting to find out more about that couple.

This Wednesday looks AWESOME! They are not alone on the island. Should be interesting!!

 

[Barb]

Not a Sawyer fan here either. I just don't trust him at all. Jack is definitely more my type. The previews with Sayid are creepy. I'm dying to know what that's all about!
