LOST SEASON 3 **Official** Discussion/Speculation Thread (No Spoilers)

[emmabelle]

It's funny after I watched the show with my daughter I said that episode was pointless, I'm glad to see others agree with me. I liked the first two episodes, but last night, not so much.

She played Christina, the daughter of Joan Crawford, in "Mommie Dearest".

That's it! Thanks.

I really hope ABC will decide to choose a series end date for Lost, like in 2 yrs or so, so that the writers can better plan out the explanation of this story. I think that would be good for the show. They don't necessarily have to tell us, the audience, when that date will be, but at least the writers would know. For me, last night was the worst episode of the entire series. It was a total waste of time. I am also starting to believe that not showing reruns this season was a mistake. Even though the reruns were a pain in the butt for those of us that watched it religiously, those reruns were a chance to gain new fans and possibly catch an episode that you missed. Lost wasn't "out there" and those audience members that were on the edge with Lost, have now moved onto other shows.

Was anyone else yelling at Sawyer when he was telling Carl to leave? I was like, at least ask him a few more questions! Don't just stop at the fact that they have yards!

Yes! I could not believe they didn't question him further. Like, how long has he been there; how did he get there; how long have some of the others been there; where do they live; can you show us....etc., etc., etc.....

This might sound dumb, but is the "warden" the same woman that Desmond meets in the jewelry store from last week's episode?
Can someone remind me who Isobel is? (I'm kind of embarrassed to ask but I'm getting a bit confused and bewildered).

That drove me nuts too! I thought for sure they would have at least asked him to show them their compound.

Also I don't really get the whole "let's just land on the Island and start trekking" nonsense. They're just going to leave the boat?? Gee that makes a lot of sense. They should have just followed along the shore; I think Sawyer might have been afraid Kate would try to turn them around to go find Jack.

This show reminds me of the show "Roswell" I used to like. Season 1 had great characters and story lines but each season got progressively worse

There are too many blond haired women! But no, Isabel was not the woman in the jewelry shop. She was so familiar to me but I found out this:

Diana Scarwid portrays Isabel in Season 3 episode "Stranger in a Strange Land". Scarwid has appeared in over 60 TV shows and movies such as Prison Break. Law and Order: SVU and The X-Files.


Found an interesting article (it has some minor spoilers):

Sounds like it may get better but I am inpatient!

Ooooh, I'd agree with that. I used to love Roswell in the beginning, but then it got really "out there" and completely lost focus.

Did anyone else get aggravated with the fact that we went through that entire episode only to get the story (weak as that was anyhow) on HALF of Jack's tats? Only the letters were on his arm in the scene on the beach. You can bet the farm that it will cost another 30 minutes of your life to find out about the other half of his tat.

Having Jack not ask Alex something about the Others (rather than "Where's Juliet?"), and not having Sawyer and Kate interrogate Carl -both those things are bad script writing IMO.

What I DID like about last night was when Jack confronted Mr. Friendly about the atrocities the Others had committed, Mr. Friendly told him basically to "get some stones". Love the double meaning of that line.

One more link where the producers answer fan questions (very spoilerish):
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20010504,00.html

Heres one question that intrigued me:

What is the meaning or significance of the two skeletons that Jack and Kate found in the cave of season 1?
CUSE: The answer to that question goes to the nature of the timeline of the island. We don't want to say too much about it, but there are a couple Easter eggs embedded in [the Feb. 7 episode], one of which is an anagram that actually sheds some light on the skeletons and hints at a larger mythological mystery that will start to unfold later in the season.
LINDELOF: There were certain things we knew from the very beginning. Independent of ever knowing when the end was going to be, we knew what it was going to be, and we wanted to start setting it up as early as season 1, or else people would think that we were making it up as we were going along. So the skeletons are the living — or, I guess, slowly decomposing — proof of that. When all is said and done, people are going to point to the skeletons and say, ''That is proof that from the very beginning, they always knew that they were going to do this.''

Hmm...now watch me turn into one of those crazies who analyzes the show frame by frame!

Anyone know anything about this?

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

This is nothing but my wild out-of-thin-air speculation, but I am guessing that the skeletons will turn out to be the same two guys we saw in teh monitoring station at the end of season #2. This will have something to do with the whole time travel thing they (producers) set up with Desmond last week.

Desmond is an Odysseus type. Think of parallels between Lost and The Iliad.

I thought the skeletons were male/female (or did I just assume that?)

 

[Kycha]

Geez! I don't even remember any skeletons. Can someone refresh my memory???

Can't take credit for watching frame by frame - I go to a website where someone does that for me.

The Anagram can be seen here:

It's MITTELOS?

That can be turned into time slot. Perhaps referring to the sucky 10pm new time slot?

Episode 6 of season one when Jack finds the cave that has fresh water. The find two skeletons that are dubbed "Adam and Eve." To read more go here:

Thanks!

"Time" has got to have a lot of significance to the plot.

 

[BWVDenise]

Time and eyes, apparently.
I noticed something about Kate's husband's last name today. CALLIS may stand for "see all eyes."

That's one thing I liked about Season 1, how the episodes started with an eye...when and why did they stop doing that?

Again it like Roswell, how they started out with Liz writing in her journal, then over time they got rid of it.

Edit: Just checked Lostpedia and see that it's coming back.
