[QUOTE=Whisperingal;256263]That was some episode.
I love the flash forwards! Those really mess with my mind. ;)
Especially since they're running the flash forwards out of chronological order.

Apparently, the flash forward scenes in the opening episode did not extend into the future as far as last season's concluding episode. For one thing, Jack had not grown a beard yet and he talked to Hurley about growing one. I thought the most interesting scene was the one in the gym where Hurley told Jack, that he had made a MISTAKE by not staying with Jack. Hurley apparently regrets going with John Locke to that shelter. Interesting.

[QUOTE=Whisperingal;254415]I hadn't seen the two hour finale from the end of last season. Last night's show really blew me away.
I couildn't stand to see Charlie die. One of my fave characters gone.
I have a close relative who is in the world that Charlie came from--in music--and a lot of what he went through in terms of his art and his career rang true. Seeing him die was like watching my relative die.
Waaaay too intense for me.

And poor Jack! Boy, does he need help!
I loved the idea of using bubble comments to explain things as they were happening on the repeated last season's finlae show.
These people are so inventive--they continue to amaze with their creative ideas.[/QUOTE]
By watching the new episode tonight, looks like we'll be seeing more of Charlie, at least as a guardian spirit in the flash-future scenes.

Most certainly will be watching! One of the best shows in a long time on the tube. Has religious elements, sex, action, mystery...what more can a fan ask?

I love "Lost" for a lot of reasons--the most obvious for me is the superb writing and the cinematography.
The acting's very good and I adore the Hawaiian locations.
And there is a lot of eye candy there too. ;)

Merope,
"Lost" intrigues me because it explores issues of spirituality. philosophy, and metaphysics that are sorely missing from today's major network programming. It's also a good drama about human relationships in a dire environment.

[COLOR="Navy"][QUOTE=petofi;251588]So what is your version of intelligent prime-time programming, "American Idol?" Tell me one example of a network program that actually causes the viewers to THINK.[/QUOTE]
No, I think American Idol is a boring piece of crap, too :-) Worse, I think it's exploitative of the very auditioners it's allegedly trying to reach.
Well, shoot, Jeopardy gets me thinking ... and sometimes reflectively thinking, too.
IMO, some of the PBS stuff causes viewers to think, like Frontline and American Experience.
Ditto for 60 Minutes.
I think some of the entertainment programming, as well, presents good food for thought. I'm a big Masterpiece Theatre (now Masterpiece) fan, and the current Austen festival always gives me cause to think. Ugly Betty does, as well, as do NCIS, Pushing Daisies (before it went on hiatus because of the WGA strike), and Moonlight. House also gets me thinking. The late, lamented Joan of Arcadia always kept me thinking. And, you know, The Simpsons gets people thinking.
That pretty much disposes of my network week :-) In my market, we also get Dr. Phil, but on a non-network affiliated station. He grandstands quite a bit but, overall, his show gets people thinking.
I guess we can argue about what we mean by "thinking" and the relative value of those thoughts or that kind of thinking. Good drama, sharp and incisive comedy, good mystery programming, and an intelligent and witty teleplay always keep me thinking. Simple action-adventure with minimal character development does not.
I don't know ... tell me what intrigues you about Lost.

[QUOTE=Merope;249867][COLOR="Navy"]Nothing personal here, petofi, I promise.
I think the show is a boring piece of crap :-( It's Survivor (another boring piece of crap) with actors and no $1 million prize.

Sure captured many imaginations.....I know no real answers will come until the very end of the series in a couple of yrs. From reading the LOST tv forums.....yikes there are so many possibilities.....that it has the desired mind boggeling effect, for moi at least. The babes rock too....and why is the big guy not loosing any weight? A most important question....
