Re: Lost season 3 discussion....

Won't you be able to turn the subs off?

Re: Lost season 3 discussion....

I thought the commentary pop-ups were great. There were a number of nice humorous bits and easter eggs pointed out.

The Easter Eggs I remember were that Bernard has a relative at the hospital and the Funeral Parlor was an anagram for Flash Forward. Surprisingly (?) there was no comment about Jack telling the head to contact his father and also there was no commentary during the final scene encounter of Jack and Kate. I think they mentioned that the "song" that Charlie was making up was written by the actor. There were a few points where I need to go back and see again. Anyway, it was nice an got me royally psyched up for tonight.

Re: Lost season 3 discussion....

It wasn't a closed caption track. The information just popped up on the very bottom of the screeen as the episode went along. If you just wanted to see the episode, I can see how it would be annoying but the subtitles were the only reason that I watched the episode on TV again.

The one that made me laugh was one of the first ones that said 'This is a flashforward'. I guess they assumed that everyone had seen it before.

EDIT: I was surprised they didn't point out the audio cameos of Damon Lindelof (as the plane captain) and Carlton Cuse (as a TV announcer) during it.

Re: Lost season 3 discussion....

Since I saw the season 3 finale last year, I thought the pop-ups were great. They pointed out a lot of things I may have missed the first time around and made me watch a repeat from beginning to end. Nice move on ABC's part. The thought the text commentary on the various Star Trek movies were the best extra on the DVDs. Glad to see it work on the air for "Lost".

I wanted to watch the finale yesterday but fell asleep

Re: Lost season 3 discussion....

I see Travis. Well that doesn't sound too bad for those who have seen it before.

I thought that was a great feature as well. Popup video style facts. The Seinfeld DVDs have that as well.

It sure did take some time finding this thread. I posted this in another thread, but it has some relevance to this thread.

****************

Two days ago, the transmission went on our Suburban. Thankfully, the transmission had enough left to get it to our mechanic. He has hundreds of cars on his lot, and one of them has a replacement transmission for our Suburban.

To hold us over while the Suburban is being repaired, we bought a 1988 Beauville (twelve-passenger) van from him. It has 135,000 miles on it, new tires, a rebuilt transmission, and an engine with less than 10,000 miles on it. He sold it to us for $800. Although the van is not from the 1970s, I could not help but think of the Lost episode, Tricia Tenaka Is Dead, in which Hurley (with Vincent's help) finds the van from the 1970s on the island. All I need now is my tape of Shambala.

BTW, our van looks much better than this one, but one of the colors is the same (blue).



Once the Suburban is fixed, we'll have two cars, which we bought for a total of $1,300.

It was fun watching Tricia Tenaka Is Dead last night. It's one of our family's favorites. I may have mentioned this several months ago, but I really do appreciate how the tune sung by Three Dog Night segues very nicely into an orchestral arrangement of the same tune (and in the same key). It's one of those more poignant moments in the series, where the music and the cinematography seem to come together quite nicely. I'd say it's nearly as effective as when the gang has some of those reunion moments, and the film is slowed enabling us to take in all of the nuances of the characters as they realize that those whom have been gone for a while are now back.

[N.B.: Although not a reunion scene, Tabula Rasa has another of these wonderfully-filmed sequences. Someone knows how to get this viewer's attention. Wash Away, and the accompanying visuals, really worked well during the conclusion of the episode.]

Did anyone notice the somewhat subtle choice of names that Kate and Sawyer used at first in the episode, and then -- when their anger toward one another was kindled -- how they switched to the other names due to their heightened emotional state? 'Freckles' and 'James' were used until they parted company, at which point Kate called him 'Sawyer,' and Sawyer answered with 'Kate'?

I haven't seen Season Four in the stores yet, which I find kind of surprising. But I will probably order it online--if I can wait that long.

Re: Lost season 3 discussion....

look in a different store.
season four should be available.
