    Lost season 3 discussion....

    I hope the producers are willing to go back and rexamine or tie up the dangling plot threads from the Swan hatch storyline. I'm just wondering if DHARMA's downfall occured in the early to mid nineties, which may help explain Kelvin. And as someone upthread mentioned, the original "Others" may...

    I'll settle for the heavy drinking :D No, I just mean some good points all around. Very entertaining episode!! It didn't answer the questions I thought would be answered, but that's ok, it still delivered (more questions :) ).

    The cable leading into the ocean has already been explained by Mikhail....it leads to the underwater sonar beacon. Of course, he could have been lying:) This past page has had some great discussion. I agree with just about everyone's views. Nevetheless, I enjoy Lost, warts and all.

    Lost season 3 discussion....

    I really liked this episode. I felt the pacing was very nice. As for flight 815, is there even a need for an elaborate cover-up? They've been missing for close to three months, so how long should search and rescue efforts continue before the logical conclusion is they crashed in the ocean...

    Danielle was already pregnant (7 months or so) before she arrived on the island. Juliet claimed that the pregnancy rejections were related to conception on the island, but the suggestion still seems to be that any pregnancy on the island is problematic, so hopefully there is a credible...

    Another thing about Sawyer being investigated and how the Others could have known about it. A man, non-native Australian, was murdered, so that could have made the crime higher profile than it otherwise would have been. Do we know what Saywer did with the gun he used to kill that guy? And didn't...

    Lost season 3 discussion....

    As you point out, some of what Juliet says matches up with what we've seen already. In "Maternity Leave", I seem to recall that Ethan first brought Claire to the medical station on his own. Later, he was chastised by Tom for deviating from the plan, which was to simply observe, make a list, and...

    I guess I was thinking in terms of sexual content and how that would be handled, but now that I think about, with the exception of one underage character already mentioned in this thread, all the other main kids exploits were tamer in comparison.

    Ben didn't say the sub was the only way off, he said it was the only way to leave and come back (in so many words). Of course Desmond tried to leave the Island via sailboat and was unsuccessful after three weeks of trying - but he didn't have a precise heading from Ben either. But consider...

    HBO options Song of Fire and Ice

    The books will always be around, and serve as a testament to fine fantasy writing, so if the producers can at least retain the spirit of the series, then I'm already willing to forgive the changes that will inevitably lead to disappointment. As long as the changes are logical ones. So the kids...

    Lost season 3 discussion....

    One of the things we know now is that Ben wanted the submarine - which seems to be the only method of navigable travel to and from the island - destroyed. We also know that not all of the others are native to the island, and that some of them liked the freedom to leave the island if they wanted...

    XBOX Blinx verdict??

    Despite the negative reviews, I picked up Blinx a couple of days ago. So far I'm enjoying it, but I've only made it to the Hourglass Caves so far. Like Peter, I've gone back and replayed levels before continuing on - the small size of the levels have made this completely painless. For me, the...

    On what quest do you acquire an overflow loot bag? I've been playing the game a few hours each day. Right now I'm a Breton at level 33. I decided to focus on getting the main quest out of the way, and I only occasionally take on side quests now. What's funny is how I will talk to an NPC, and...

    James, the artifacts are in the same room/pub as that guy is in. I did what a previous poster (JasonK) suggested, I taunted the guy into attacking me first. When he did, I killed him. Now, there are two locked chests in that room. Don't pick the one with the level 75 lock - it belongs to the...

    Andy, the reward was 400 gold pieces. Now, that might be pocket change to you depending on what level your at in the game now, but it came at the right time for me. I finally made some significant income, and the boost enabled me to upgrade, finish some pending missions (such as recovering those...
