I really hate that they've introduced 2 new characters...they just appeared, and now we have to accept them. Silly.

(Reminds me of a Simpsons episode where there's suddenly a Cool Dog sitting at the breakfast table, and they make a joke about sitcoms adding new characters without warning.)

3 months off - what total [censored].

16 weeks does not 3 month equal

November 8th - February 7th. That's about as close to 3 months as you can get.

One is that we're not with our main people enough, and the other is [that people are] sick and tired of seeing redundant flashback stories. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

the other alternative, of course, is for them to concentrate on moving the story forward with the main characters and only doing backstories that are not redundant.

most of that interview I liked...but that part I did not. they are basically admitting that they have some desire to stall and string along the series by introducing new characters that had zero relevance to seasons 1 and 2, instead of concentrating on current 'island time' events with the known Losties.

6 straight episodes + 3 month break + 16-18 more straight episodes is MUCH MUCH better than the way they did season 2.

I can see how this episode (and 6-episode story arc as a whole) would be satisfying to the casual viewer, but to the devoted fan, it was quite a letdown.

Even just the advertised 'secret message' that Locke finds turning out to be what we already knew was written on Eko's stick from 3 weeks ago was enough for me to resent it.

The only redeeming quality of yet another Kate-on-the-run flashback is that now we know who she was married to and why it was a short marriage. She mentioned that when playing 'I never' with Sawyer in season 1.

I wasn't too disappointed with the cliffhanger because I didn't expect much. This isn't a season finale, people - there wasn't going to be some grand change in things like when the Others kidnapped Walt or the outside world was shown at the end of seasons 1 and 2. I was still a little let down because I was hoping for something that would require speculation and discussion, but oh well. Last year's 'fall finale' (before a 6-week break) of Michael talking on the hatch computer and 'Dad?' coming up was much better in my opinion.

Holy Crap was this the worst Lost episode of the season easily. I just watched it and immediately wanted to drop Lost as a regular view. The mushy love crap was horribly done. Jack's plan to get them free was pathetic, especially considering Juliet would prefer Ben be dead anyways. The voice box coming up and telling jack to use the door was dumb. "Did Alex ask about me" was the only interesting part in the entire show.

Usually I spend the time going through all of the pages of these threads for interesting stuff after I finally get to watch each one. This week, I don't want to bother. I'm that turned off by this episode.

Bleh Bleh Bleh.

Daryn and Assani Fisher should be the only people allowed to post in this thread.

Agreed, mainly because I personally thought it wasn't that compelling a cliff-hanger to end the half-season. The commericials for the past few weeks had led us to believe that we would start to get a much better idea of why the Losties are on the island and their purpose. Now it just seems that Jack is there to do the surgery, Kate is there because Jack cares about her and Sawyer is there because Kate cares about him.

They dropped a few teasers of things to chew on (Alex and her boyfriend, Jacob's list, Ben's question about Alex and Juliette's lie, Eko's staff) but that's SOP for each show. It would've been much more impactful if they had ended by answering a key question that had everyone go WTF and talking about it until February. Given this show, when February 7th rolls around we're all going to have to remind ourselves where we last left off.

From Jack's perspective I think it was a good plan. He doesn't know they're on alcatraz, and he knows that the others besides juliette do NOT want ben dead.

Wow. What a terrible bunch of episodes.

Season three, IMO, has been scattered, convoluted, and slow. It's slipping into X-Files territory now, with such a jumbled, scattered plot and storyline, that it seems almost impossible that they will ever resolve everything and explain all the unanswered questions. They've added new characters to a show that already had too many to handle. And whereas the flashbacks used to provide intriguing backstory to the main characters, now they just seem like padding for already-too-slow episodes. The whole prisoners-on-the-island storyline has been slow, tedious, and tiresome, lacking a lot of the mystery and suspense that made the first two seasons so much better.

And what's worse, I don't really care. At this point, I'm just getting bored with the show and tired of idiotic characters who never ask questions or share information like real people would in these situations. I won't lie and say I'm done with the show... but I definitely think its gotten seriously off-track and much less of a must-see program than it once was...
