At first it did seem like a cop out but remember the scene they were showing around this sequence. The boy was roling the dice and getting the exact numbers he needed because we completely believed he would get them. It also relates to what Locke said earlier. If you want it bad enough and without doubt the Island will give it to you. I don't think there is any doubt that Jack was completely determined with all his will. It adds another dimension to the power of the island.
The View is Askew

I should spoiler this, but hopefully you've seen the fricking episode-
They really had me going when Kate got him to stop. Then Jack started back up and I thought that we're going to have a corpse with his chest caved in...
I'm scared to death that they really didn't get him back. That would be a 'worst possible thing to do to these characters' thing, if you get my reference.
Very pleased that they're rerunning the first two hours nest week, now i'll have a complete set of tapes! Messed up the first two-hour recast when I first saw it with freinds (this was late September, early October, around PA Shindig-time). Now it's a must-see thing in my house. My dad was looking forward to last night, he said "This is going to be good!" He was right 8-)
I'd like to see somebody (Kate?) hit Jack upside the head with a clue-by-four- "You're the only doctor of the island, Jack, you don't have the right to go running off and risking life and limb." (If Kate could say this just the right way, follow up with the right words, and arrange for some privacy, we could get an x-rated episode out of that ;-)
The guy with the kid was complaining about being treated as a second-class citizen. Argh! Locke almost got him killed once, likes the kid well enough that he doesn't want him to lose his dad, and, jeez, looked to me like he was left in charge (He was in construction, did that sketch of the showers they could build, 'minds me of Xander, a little). If anything, the island is top-heavy with heroes and leaders, needs a few indians, like Hurley or Charlie.
BTW- Hurley rocks! Speaking as a fat-guy, I'm happy with the way LOST is portraying 'my people' 8-)
Bad as Sawyer is, his nicknames for folks are okay, better than okay. The meanest one was calling the blond princess-type 'sticks'. Refering to Hurley as 'Stay-puffed' was hi-lariuous!
Vince, ready to get lost with 'Freckles' (wanna?)

OK, it was just a matter of time. I went ahead & designed a "LOST" shirt. I'm not sure about posting a pic of it here since this is a "Firefly" site. I don't want to get ousted or flamed. But I will post a link for it in this thread. It's a fun design and took some work. No copywritten info or logo's. Be sure to read the description of how to get the custom shirt with your name instead of mine.
Oh yeah the link....

Man, this show is awsome, but it is kinda starting to piss me off with how damn SLOW the story is moving. Which i understand, i suppose, they have to drag out the mystery for a few seasons, all the same, instead of moving the story along linearly (like they have been) show us some group dynamics or something. They have themselves a great opportunity to do the OMG! I'm stuck on an island! How do i react to everything? And sometimes i feel like they're not using their time wisely enough to tell a great story (I mean honestly, we didn't need half an hour of them thrashing through the jungle to get the point that they'd been out there for a long, long time.)
Only complaint. Still gonna watch (and love) the show, and I'm eager to see the one episode i missed.

Anyway, did you convert any new folk to LOST last night. I reeled in 4. They we're already Firefly fans. If your gonna "share the good news & salvation from reality crap TV...preach all of it"
Check our the custom "LOST" T-shirt design at my shop.

OK. So WHAT if I'm 3 months late in gettin hooked by this show? Well EXCUUUUUUUUUUSE ME! heh heh. I do love it though. I caught eps 1 and 2 just last night. I had caught 2 others that were played back to back one Sat night...and was hooked. I'm gonna try to see every ep from now on and catch up again... man.. and it's not even on FOX! So I know it won't be cancelled prematurely....right ?

Ok, no I don't get the reference, but the first part of this had me thinking for a while today and I came up with one of those wild theories that kinda makes some sense but it's really strange. Is it pretentious if I spoiler this just in case I'm half right?
Select to view spoiler:
.This may be what you were implying, not sure since I didn't get the reference..anyway, Maybe someone else inhabited Charlie's body, the island maybe contains souls, that can fill bodies of the dead to continue their lives. or some such. This might be a reason for the interest in the baby, kill the baby, let someone else inhabit the body, it would be like engineering reincarnation. Maybe also have something to do with the bodies with the black stone and white stone on them, maybe a ritual to prevent them from returning, which Jack of course negated when he picked up the stones. Maybe some of the Survivors, didn't survive, they just got possessed or whatever. Ok Crazy time over...
Ok I play too many games.

I love this show. My buddy captured the pilot on his computer and did a little virtualdub action to slow it down and enhance it. The resulting clips show, in my opinion, unequivocal evidence supporting the theory of aircrafts. This theory is long and tenuous, yet intriguing. Suffice it to say, there are aircraft flying around during the first five minutes of the pilot episode. One definite occurance is when a man gets sucked into the engine and it explodes. An aircraft swoops down in a very fast U-type maneuver, passing by the exploding engine exactly when it explodes. Possibly the cause of the explosion, not neccessarily the man getting sucked in. (which I loved...reminded me of Crow in Firefly.) The second instance occurs (on my copy) around 3:36 into the pilot episode. Exactly ten seconds after we first see the Korean man shouting for his wife, Jack looks into the air and an aircraft flies from the top of the screen down on the lefthand side.

Inara: Who's winning?
Simon: I can't really tell, they don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

I replayed the first 5 mins on my DVD, and yes I do see what you are saying.
But do you think this is a part of the show? Or just a part of the filming of the show?NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

I like your theory. It's quite easy to get obsessed by this show, isn't it? Not that I'm not still a Browncoat! 8-) Maybe Stillshiny can do a Boar and Bananas Browncoat T-Shirt?
The reference is to Lois McMaster Bujold, who admits that she writes about the worst possible thing that she can think to do to her heroes and heroines, sorta like Joss.
The still from the beginning of LOST I'll take you guys' word on, I don't have the technology...
