LOST - on ABC in HDTV - NO SPOILERS - Page 23  

If your a studio paying big money to 48 tv actors, would you bring them in whenever you needed extras in the background? Or would you get volunteers who just want to be on tv to play the extras for free?

I am pretty sure i saw locke on the plane in flashbacks

I though it appropriately set up the final scene, of the bald man's scowling face...followed by him growling as the scene faded out...

Dan

Nope, I think they're Vulcans with plastic surgery on the ears so they can be undercover while they hunt down the creature that got loose from an earlier Vulcan ship crashing onto the island.

Jim

TRIBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, but ABC ran 1 min over, so my 6208 didn't catch that part :-(

Even for Koreans, his behavior is not so normal (coming from a Korean male)...

Anyway, the subtitle was showing "Sun" when Jin called Sun before he told her that he loved her. However, what he said is closer to "Honey" (ja-gi-ya), so I still think they are a couple, married or not.

And did I say Daniel Dae Kim's Korean suck?

Hong.

I assumed they were Japanese, shows what I know.

Well, hell..now I am going to have to get that dvd set.

Thanks a lot...wife already thinks I'm obbsessed. :-}

BoB was the easiest DVD purchase I ever made, though after having originally seen them on HBO HD I really wish I could get them that way.

Back to Lost... I really, really wish they'd have cut the freaking commercials and run it in the time alloted.

Only doc and I think smoking wanna be tough dude know..oh and Hurley, but he's scared of his own shadow.


"They just need to throw in a little more realism and dump the soap opera crap."

I don't see the soap opera crap ..is that what any interaction between a man and a woman is?

" Why hasnt anybody explored the island better?"

Go ahead... :-}

" How do they even know they are on an island? Nobody has tried walking to the other side. Could be a resort over there for all they know. "

yeah!

"But I guess its too early to tell what direction they want this show to go in. I just hope its not going to turn into a non-reality version of Survivor. And I really look forward to the heart-warming episode when the chick gives birth (sarcasm)."

Well, it'll happen soon so you'll get your wish. :-}

I never said they were.

Yeah that last scene where Hurly was listening to the portable CD player I half expected Saheed (Saied? I dunno) to come over and slap him upside the head seeing as he was so worried about boosting signals earlier.

The whole not exploring the island thing is sorta understandable for the first day or two and to be fair those who have ventured into the jungle before were almost eaten by a gigantic invisible thing and then a polar bear..... I wouldnt be too psyched about running through the jungle either.

Did we see the bald guy in scenes where the forest was getting trampled by the beast?

Ok your point is valid, but the reason we think the way we do is because we have developed or learned to operate under time to this philosophy - as a result it's a pretty easy conclusion for you or me to draw. I mean you say so friggin what, but it's not that easy when you've been taught a certain way since birth. The "Golden Rule" is great and all because our kindergarden walls are plastered with it, but you go across a border and you're likely to get blank stares when you bring this up.

It's just as natural for them to point at you and say you are wrong as it is for you to point to them and say it - I don't think one can really understand culture without recognizing this.

REgardless - we're really getting into a off-topic discussion about Western cultures which is out of place, but your post almost sounds as if you expect any different cultures to suddenly adopt a Western culture in a plane crash - pretty unrealistic if you ask me.

Like I said earlier - I think it's an excellent asset to the story and really increases the overall character depth. This couple has cultural, language, and from the actions of the female even personal barriers to move beyond resulting from this situation. I think these two characters put the "realism" of a plane crash into perspective more than the dead bodies and blood that's just like we've seen in every other movie. Like I said - a ton of depth there without any special effects or actions.

I love it.

I agree completely. The scene between the two was kind of tense which added to the "realism" of their situation.

I don't think most of the people even realize that they were off course until now as a result all of these people were working under the assumption for the first few days that they would be rescued. The doctor and crew that found the pilot didn't share this info right away!!!

In other words the overall impact is just setting in with these people now. I could say I'd probably be listening to my CD player too - most people would assume a rescue party would be there in no time. I mean I can't think of any consumer plane crash in recent history we haven't been able to identify where it went down - some even being in the middle of the ocean!

It's not like they knew day 1 that they were going to be on the island for some time. You need to forget that you know this is a 13 episode series - they don't realize this yet!

Sorry guys I now see we are several hours past the culture ending discusison - my bad!!!

I'll shutup about it now.

I think the whole "lets get together yah yah yah" parent trap ending was a little weak, but once again I look at it from a somewhat realistic standpoint. I think after a few days in that situation every one is going to realize they've got to look beyond it - now they probably could have shown this happening differently, but I'm guessing no matter what it was going to end up being cheesey - I'm just glad they did it all at once instead of having to suffer through it 10 different times!

I'm willing to be things are going to go sour again though - after what remaining hope they have is gone, they run out of food, and stress levels rise we can expect some more tension.

I'm the #1 Lost fan in the World - I'll defend it until the very first slow motion "run and hug" scene - then I'm jumping off the bandwagon.

Or maybe it's because it's an American writer's conception of what Asian male/female relationship is like

_I_ would be afraid to ask Kate what she did as it might hurt my chances (no matter how infinitesimal) of getting into her oh so cute underpants

Seem like the reference to the "Curb" joke was lost on most folks in here...but I thought it was funny...but what do I know...go ask a Swede!

Just to jump into a few comments...running one minute over really sucked, my DVR missed the tense ending and the next episode scenes (the way it got cut for me with the boy and his dog reunited was sickly sweet).

I would have let Kate tell me what she did...I'd like to know if I'm marooned with a serial killer or not.

About the show going multiple seasons...they can do just like Gilligan...get them on the rescue boat, and it gets in a storm and crashes on another island...but when they all start driving around in a bamboo/thatch car, I'm going to stop watching.

Did anyone pick up the clue about the monster. There was this question about the Doc seeing dinosaurs. The Doc siad no it can't be dinosaurs, they don't exist. My guess is it is a T-rex and they are in a time warp.

Well there was also the clue in the beginning where the gal sitting next to Doc said it sounded familiar (she was from the Bronx).

I thought maybe something from the Zoo? (Like the polar bear?)

I wonder how long Jack with have his 2-day beard.

they will likely find shaving kits or someone will make a razor or a blade or something

has to happen..you can't have a show go on with people looking scraggly all the time

Kate won't be so hot with hairy legs and armpits!


Johnny

Sorry I haven't had time to read all 70 pages of the thread, just the last 20 or so, so sorry if this was already discussed, but I think it was TV Guide that said they were going to have the folks being chased by wild boars...and they had a problem in that the real boars they had didn't want to chase anyone, so they had to settle for CGI pigs chasing folks. So I figured that's what was chasing Walt's father, but they never showed what it was really.

That's interesting, but its hard to imagine wild boars pushing over trees. Maybe they will be another "teaser" monster (like the polar bear).

Who cares? I don't want to know if I am (or anyone else is) right or not until I see it on air.
