Lost

I liked the episode last night, but now I am at the point where I want the show to move along a bit faster. I know it takes time for them to do each episode, but now I'm getting to the point where I want certain lingering issues resolved so we can move on to new ones. I know that the premise of the show is mystery in a mystery, but at some points I think the producers / creators have kinda messed up certain lines of continuity. Just MHO.

I felt that the whole Jack / Claire / their dad connection was a bit 'jump the shark'-ish. I think now they are pulling at random things. But, I too am excited about the Locke episode that is coming up next week.

I kinda expected that to happen - I was surprised at how matter-of-factly it was all presented, though.

But I'm right there with you on the pulling at random things. Example: completely random for Locke to just throw that guy into the Magnetic Force Field thingy. Really didn't see that one coming.

I don't think its so random. I called it a almost a season ago, in the episode when Jack's dad went to the house in Sydney and demanded to see his daughter, and Ana Lucia dragged him away. They had obviously been planting the seeds on for a while before revealing it last night.

I see your point, I forgot about that.

But the way they do the show, they leave so much open, that it seems easy for them to insert some conundrum at random.

I can't wait for this Wednesday! We're FINALLY going to see how Locke got in the wheelchair in the first place. Don't know what that's going to add to the storyline but he's still my favorite one on the show so any Locke episode is a good one IMO.

That episode was AWESOME. It completely shocked me when you finally see the scene where John incurs his injury...and then later on, when Ben opens up that door and there that con man is..in a wheelchair. I was

!!

I didn't notice the con man was in a wheel chair. I thought he was just tied to a chair.

Oops...maybe I'll have to rewind the tape and watch it again. (Yeah, I'm a VCR and tapes kinda girl...

)

I thought this was kinda funny about "The Monster":
The "Monster" makes a variety of different sounds that sound both mechanical and biological. Its mechanical sounds have been described as: whirring, clanking, chattering, ratcheting, roaring, mostly like a black-billed magpie, and noises similar to releasing air pressure or dot matrix printers. Rose remarked that the sounds were familiar to her, a sound that was commented by the directors to be similar to noises heard in Bronx, NY.

In the voiceover commentary for the "The 23rd Psalm" on the Season Two DVD, producer Bryan Burk confirms that the "Monster"'s sound effect is indeed the receipt printer from a NYC taxicab. This sound effect is heard in "Walkabout" right before the first commercial when Locke punches some numbers into a counting machine. The counting machine's printing sound is the same sound the "Monster" makes in "Exodus: Part 1" as it flies by Kate and Jack.

That episode was cool...so I guess Juliette is "evil" after all. Or maybe just an opportunist, who will do as Ben asks, in order to secure her way home? hmmm...

I also wonder if Ben is quite evil, and doctored that videotape of the sister Rachel with her son, Julian? My instincts point that her sister's cancer DID come back and that she did die, and Ben merely played those tapes to placate her.

Hmmm......

I really enjoyed last night's ep as well! Just as I was about to give Juliet the benefit of the doubt, the revelation in the last few minutes of the show changed all that. Now, *THAT'S* the Lost I know and love!!!

And, thanks for posting those awesome pics, FloridaTish!

Ooo, fun pics! I enjoyed them!

And I so knew Juliet was evil... poor Jack's gonna feel like an idiot when the Others come and make serious trouble after he was protecting her all this time...
