Lost season 3 discussion.... (1 Viewer)

There's a new Hanso Foundation ad in the new issue of EW this week (with Daniel Craig on the cover). It is actually a protest of the Hanso group and mentions "Persephone," as well as giving a new web site. I don't have the ad in front of me, but I will double check later today and post the URL (unless someone beats me to it).

I think that the split season will work fine, especially if they have a good story arc for the first 6, but I don't see why ABC doesn't have them run all of NOV sweeps.

 

[TravisR]

They're hoping the show that takes Lost's timeslot is a hit too.

 

[Albert_M]

Of course they are, but it's risky, as opposed to a sure thing.

Your sig pick is from the Twilight Zone, right?

 

[Sam Favate]

Yes, indeed. It's from the episode "Time Enough At Last" starring Burgess Meredith. I consider Twilight Zone the grandfather of Lost, BTW. Stephen King also made the comparison last year in one of his columns for EW.

Looks like Desmond and Henry are officially regulars now.

 

[TravisR]

The recap episode is on tonight and the new episodes start in a week.

But look how small Henry is.... he's tiny... there's a lot of basically empty jungle space to the left that they could have used to give him a head of comparable size. It's gotta be a clue, it's gotta....

Damn I've missed this show.

The BF's mother called on Monday and told him that LOST was on. I was like "Oh hell NO"! Then I realized it most likely the rerun of the season finale from last year.

Dear god, the woman gave me a scare.

I had no idea it was a clip show until the first commercial break. I've never watched the show, and I was thinking, "Man, that's a lot of recap. The producers must think the audience forgets everything over the summer."

That's wonderful Ewok, you just completely spoiled yourself on 2 seasons of a terrific show which relies heavily on mystery.

Isn't the point of a recap show so that new viewers can jump onboard in time for the next season? Also, if the mystery was the only thing that kept people watching the first two seasons, why would anyone pick up the DVDs?

Anyway, all I saw was the first 10 minutes of the clip show, and I didn't learn too much beyond the basic premise of the show and the 108-minute reset. I may or may not tune in to the show next week. The only reason I saw anything tonight was that I did not turn the TV off immediately after the Dancing with the Stars results show was done.

I wonder what's in store for the crazy French lady. She was missing from the recap (shown but not discussed) and she's not on that poster. I guess she's never really been a regular but considering how thorough the recap was I was surprised she didn't get a mention.

I don't think I liked Henry doing the narration.

I like the recaps. It's kind of amazing how much stuff I can forget.

 

[TravisR]

The French Woman has only been in about six episodes or so. I was more surprised that they didn't mention Boone or Shannon or Libby. I guess it's tough to fit nearly 50 episodes into 43 minutes though.

 

[Matt^Brown]

The lack of things and people shown in the recap had my mind turning. How important were these people and events to the main story or the story at all. Dang that Lost, it gets me every time. Next Wednesday can't get here fast enough.

 

[Holadem]

I was more suprised by Rousseau's absense from the last finale. This type of sparse recurring character lives for dramatic entrances in major episodes...
