Well, tonight's episode was pretty damned good! The show seems to work better when it stays away from the sci-fi/fantastical element (and this is coming from a huge Twilight Zone fan).

Can't wait for next week.

NERDS!

Wow.

What a bunch of dorks! I gave people like you wedgies in high school and my V8 still smokes you off the line in your little priscy!

What a bunch or four-eyed wankers; debating the plotline of a deus ex-machina, sci-faux, LSD trip....

Now, what we should be discussing is Gilmore Girls. That's quality entertainment!

:p

Ugh...........

Who else saw Wednesday's episode? I dunno anymore............
I read an interview in Entertainment Weekly with the show's creators, and they say that this was the episode that would either cement the show's viewership or scare everyone away. Well, I'm not quite scared away, but that was just awful. Tell the $@%#'n story!!

Well, after that I think I may indeed be the only one left watching. Is it just me, or is watching this show starting to feel like homework? I DVR most everything on TV and watch it when time permits and it took me week just to get through LAST week's episode.

Besides, I've started watching Heroes because I AM that big of a geek and I'm really liking it now ;)

Charlie's jealousy & suspicion is annoying.

I'm wondering about Desmond's time hopping. Its like Jack seeing his dead father early inthe series, or Hurley seeing his hospital pal. Or however it was that the Smoke monster communciated to Locke & Eko. Makes me wonder whats bringing on these hallucinations. Especially w/ the Shop lady not wanting to sell Desmond the ring.
Her chat w/ him on the bench reminded me of The MAtrix. The Oracle sitting on the Bench talking to Neo.
If something on the Island can make Eko think he's talkign to his brother, Or make Locke have visions, then Desmond is probably beign screwed with into thinking he can time hop.

Last night's episode was kind of "meh." I wasn't exactly dying to find out the origin of Jack's tattoos, but will say that Bai Ling can help me fly a kite any day of the week.

This episode was for the ladies.........ooooh yeah!
It was ok I guess. It was at least a step in the right direction as far as the story progression goes. I love how complicated this show is, but sometimes I think they forget that there is a story to be told.

I've given up trying to figure it all out.
Theres so much to keep track of, its hard to jsut sit back & enjoy.

Incidentally, when the husband got hit by the Bus so suddenly..I jsut sort of groaned. I've seen this on JJAbram's other shows. He's used it on Felicity & Alias. Characters in a conversation or arguemnt suddenly cut short by a bus.
In fact now that I think about it, thats part of Michael's backstory. He was arguing w/ Walt's mom on the phone. Stormed off & got slammed in traffic.

#1 I am soooo not liking the new time slot, I get tired around 10, I usually stay up later but my attention is definitely waning.

#2 There is way too much going on on this show. Of course I love it but there is so much to remember and follow.

#3 Enough with the Jack stories, we know so much about him already.

#4 Why did those men beat Jack up? I didn't get that part. Is it about what Bai Ling (not sure of her character's name) said about him. I saw that they read his tattoo, was it offensive? Please help.

The tattoo reads "He walks among us, but he is not one of us". Bai Ling insisted that she could/ should not give him the tattoo, so obviously those men felt the same way.
