Lost Season One

[sarahh]

This thread is for those who are currently watching the re-runs of season one. I figured those of us who have already seen season one in it's entirety won't really have much to add to this thread.

However, if you are a LOST veteran and you have something new to share PLEASE be sure to write SPOILER above your comments and if possible make the font smaller and a lighter color so it will be harder to read.

[J&K2003]

Yay Sarah! One of my favorite threads. Thanks for bringing it over here. :)

[Sazoo]

Yay - this is such a great show! I watched the whole first season already, but it'll be fun to read other people's comments about it as they watch the re-runs this summer. :)

JaneandAndy, ztaprincess, KSA, mel7dog, katmgbride, isobel, and mrs,pell

[stevesbabygirl]

I'm going to have to TiVo these episodes, as I can't stay up that late to watch! I missed a lot of the first half of the season, so I feel like a relative newbie!

[Katy]

Thanks for starting this up Sarahh. Thanks for the reminder about spoilers.

With this version of the VB we can change our text to be WHITE. When one does that, it doesn't show up visible, unless you highlight the entire text. This is a GREAT way to write in the spoilers.

[Brandles]

I can't wait until this fall for season 2!!!! :D

[Jane&Andy]

Just checking in. :)

[JRose]

Just subscribing!

[meganth]

Subscribed too!! Going through serious withdrawl - luckily it's summer and i've got other things to preoccupy me! Has anybody heard anything more about what time slot they're putting Lost in next season? They'd better not keep it in the 10-11pm, i'm too much of an old fart for that!

[Pamela]

I can hardly wait for the new season! I hope its a decent night/time too!

[southerner]

ABC's website says it will be on at 9:00 pm on Wednesday nights in the Fall

[numberlady]

Just subscribing. I didn't watch during the season, so am watching re-runs for the first time. I can't wait to find out what the deal is with Locke and what Katy did to be hunted down by the cop guy in Australia.

[southerner]

yeah!!! it's here!!!!

[heymon]

Just checking in. I'm a Lost newbie and love this show!

[Jane&Andy]

I watched it last night and enjoyed the show (as always). I'm getting impatient for some answers though. But I guess that just means I'm hooked. :)

[Sazoo]

"I'm getting impatient for some answers though."

Be prepared to have patience...this show tends to ask more questions than it answers, let me tell ya! ;) Some of the weird stuff that happens throughout the season really gets you thinking & pondering the possibilities, & as aggrevating as that is, it's also sort of fun! :D

Enjoy!

[katmg]

Subscribing!

I'm officially hooked on the reruns of Lost. I've been trying not to read too many spoilers...but it's just so hard! I wanna know what happens!

[twomidnightblues]

You Lost newbies are going to love this show and be on the edge of your seats. Hell, I'm on the edge of mine and I watched all season!

I've seen all but the first half of the 1st episode. Can you believe it?!? If anyone catches wind that they're showing that ep again, please let me know. I missed it the 2nd time around too. I had no idea they were showing it at 10pm and I was in bed.

[stevesbabygirl]

Hey gang,

Time for a shameless plug :D! I'm a moderator over at The 47 (http://s11.invisionfree.com/T47), which is a board dedicated to Alias and Lost fans! We only have about 25 members, so I would love to see some of you go over there and check it out!

[mierin]

These reruns have totally hooked me on Lost. I don't understand why I wasn't watching during the regular season. Could I really have been watching America's Next Top Model instead of this amazing show? Sad to say, I was.

Also, does anyone else think that Sayid is the hottest thing ever to crash land on a deserted island? I can't be alone in that thought. :D

[isobel]

Yep, I love Sayid!! :D

This past episode was awesome... loved the creeping Dad.

[sarahh]

Here is a link to a really ummmm...interesting promo they are airing for Lost in the UK on Channel 4.A group of different couples are dancing together on a beach in front of a crashed plane that is on fire. As they dance a voice says they all have a secret, then the voices introduces their secret, all start by saying "One of us is.." and a different description given, including hero, fraud, junkie, cop, saint, sinner, martyr and murderer. http://www.livejournal.com/users/voodoo_in_tx/261696.html?mode=reply

And some low res screencaps...don't worry...no spoilers!

[mel7dog]

Started watching the season this summer with the reruns and I LOVE it! It is the only summer show I MUST watch. I am bad at figuring out little clues so hopfully this thread opens my eyes :)

[Sazoo]

Started watching the season this summer with the reruns and I LOVE it! It is the only summer show I MUST watch. I am bad at figuring out little clues so hopfully this thread opens my eyes :)Oh I'm sure it will. The thread over on the WC that was active during the regular season of Lost had TONS of info about what all the little clues meant. Just wait for Hurley's episode (should be coming up soon, I think)...there'll be a LOT of fun little clues/coincidences to look out for in every episode after that. ;)

[southerner]

Oh!! I was hoping they would get to Hurley soon.

I think DH is too ansy to watch this show. He always says "nothing happens" each week. I said to that, they have a lot of character's to develop, then there might be a lot more going on once we know about them more, I love this show and will keep watching whether DH does or not. I guess it's just a lot more fun to watch it with someone!

I wasn't surprised by the life of the oriental couple. You could tell the husband was sketchy from the beginning. I actually thought he was going to end up being abusive to his wife, which I guess could still get revealed!

[mel7dog]

I was surprised by the Sun as well. I figured the husband was controlling/abusive, but I never would have thought she was "living the high life" before she married him. It also suprised me when she didn't leave him in the airport. (well not reall, obviously i knew she got on the plane) but I was rooting for her to leave him. I am interested to see ehat will happen how that she decided to speak english and her hubby doens't even know she had learned it :rolleyes:

[southerner]

I assumed she learned to speak English for her "escape"????

[Sazoo]

I assumed she learned to speak English for her "escape"????Yeah, I think that is why she did, & why he doesn't know - because she was planning to leave him & run away to America. She was disappointed in what he had become after working for her father...but then at the airport he showed her that flower & reminded her of how sweet & simple & romantic he used to be. So she changed her mind. :)

[southerner]

I bet she wishes she hadn't changed her mind now :D

Guess Charlie will start having withdrawal now.

They didn't show Claire (the preganat lady) or the sibling pair last week either.

[Sazoo]

They didn't show Claire (the preganat lady) or the sibling pair last week either.I noticed that too. I guess maybe because there are so many different characters that they have to focus on certain ones in each episode & leave others out.

I love seeing the backstories of each character from week to week. I wish I could remember who is next after the Sun/Jin episode we saw last week. Hmmm...

[southerner]

Sazoo, I think I saw an episode guide when I clikced on the link Steve'sbabygirl posted. Yes, I clicked it.....alright I did!!! But, I didn't read any spoilers, I'm proud of myself :)

You could go there and look if you wanted to know!

I don't know if I can resist the temptation :rolleyes:


ETA: Do they show previews during the regular season. I hate that they don't!!

[Rippy1010]

Woo! Go Lost! That's such awesome news. Although I've only watched a few episodes, I think they deserve it. And Sayid just deserves an award for being Wicked Hot.

Did anyone watch last night? I was only half watching, but it was interesting to see Charlie go through withdrawel. Poor thing. He needs some help.

[southerner]

running to be sure TIVO worked in the storm last night :eek:

forgot it was on last night! out of 12, they have to win a few, right? Do they have tough competition in those categories?

[mel7dog]

so what did everyone think of last night's episode?!

I like it!

My two favorite parts were when Kate realizes Jack is ok and hugs him (finally we see some REAL chemistry there)

and when Rocker boy throws his drugs in the fire, good for him!

I am really liking Locke right now, he seems like a good man.
i'm also curious about who knocked Syid out while he was trying t sent te signal. Locke? Sawyer? So much to find out!

[stevesbabygirl]

Yay!

[PGirl26]

Wow, I don't know why I didn't watch this show during the regular season. I'm addicted to the reruns now. Can someone tell me where I can read all about this first season? I'm still trying to learn all of their names/histories etc. I've missed two shows thus far.

Subscribing...

[pompomgirl]

You can find recaps for all of the season 1 episodes here (http://www.lost-media.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=list_pages_categories&cid=1). Enjoy! :D

[Sazoo]

Was Lost on last night? I forgot to watch...which is okay because I watched it during the regular TV season this year, but I'm curious which episode aired last night. :)

[mel7dog]

I watched, obviously!

Last night's episode was the one when Sawyer's past was revealed. I couldn't belive all he had been though, that must have been rough. BUT no excuse to lead everyone into thinking he had the ashma med. JERK.

I couldn't believe Kate actaully kissed Sawyer! And talk about unrealistic, do you guys think she was enjoying it because it was certainly long enough.

Did Sun's husband hear her speaking english? I thought he might have, but I wasn't sure.

and what about Syid (sp?) leaving and going off on his own. I have a feeling he will certainly be back, probably with a lot of stories to tell!

Does anyone else see a possible budding romance between the pg girl and the rocker? They were being awfuly cute together!

Hmmm, so much to consider!!

[southerner]

great show last night.

I definitely see a romance between Charlie and Claire developing.

Dude, Sayid is crazy for going out on his own. I hope he returns. I keep waiting for someone to die, but then I think no they won't kill anyone. But then again, they might. There sure have been a lot of close calls though.

I don't know what it was, but I thought Sawyer was hot last night (maybe because they showed so much of him :rolleyes: ). I'm still a Boone fan. I love looking at him and I love that he and his sister are bodning.

Can't wait to see Hurley's life story. Then, who's left? Claire, Rose (the black lady, we haven't seen her again) Boone and Shannon and Michael and Walt. Is that all?

[mel7dog]

I don't know what it was, but I thought Sawyer was hot last night (maybe because they showed so much of him :rolleyes: ).

That's funny me too! I don't know what it was, I still dislike him though!

[Sazoo]

Can't wait to see Hurley's life story. Then, who's left? Claire, Rose (the black lady, we haven't seen her again) Boone and Shannon and Michael and Walt. Is that all?They'll show you more about the backstories of some of the characters you've already seen. ;)

[mierin]

I don't know what it was, but I thought Sawyer was hot last night (maybe because they showed so much of him :rolleyes: ).

Yeah, count me in on that. He's a jerk and disgusting, but sometimes so hot! And despite myself, I thought the kiss between him and and Kate was kind of sexy. I think she enjoyed it just a little bit. ;)

[mel7dog]

Did anyone watch tonight? It was kinda creepy episode huh?! That french chick freaked me out, did she really kill all the people she was with because she didn't want them to leave? I was confused about that part.

Does anyone else just want Kate to make out with either Jack or Sawyer, they just keep building the tension up!

I REALLY hope Syid finds Nadia someday, their story almost made me cry :(

[Jane&Andy]

We lost power last night so I missed it, can someone give me a recap? TIA!

[katmg]

Last night's episode was good.

Here's a mini-recap:

Sayid was on the beach and found a buried rope or cable and followed it back into the jungle. There was a trap set that he got caught in and then blacked out.

Jack and Hurley were talking about how there's nothing for people to do. Jack is annoyed because he thinks everyone should just be trying to survive. A new suitcase is found that Hurley starts going through.

Sayid is captured and being tortured by the mysterious French woman on the tape. We see flashbacks to Sayid's past as an Iraqi Republican Guard soldier. There was a woman that he grew up with that had been captured in association with a bombing. They clearly love/have affection for one another but he is forced to interrogate (perhaps torture?) her. She won't tell them anything and he is ordered to kill her. Instead of killing her he gives her instructions on how to escape and while doing so is caught by another guard who he shoots. He then shoots himself in the leg so that she can escape and he can have an alibi. He still carries her picture with a note that she wrote to him.

Crazy French woman talks about her time on the island and the 2 people (Robert and Alex) that were with her. She has a music box which has broken. Sayid offers to fix it and as he fixes it we hear some sort of 'monster.' She grabs a gun and goes out to kill it, leaving Sayid alone. Sayid escapes and grabs another gun and some maps and goes looking for her. There is a face off - we learn that she had killed Robert and Alex because they might leave or were sick? We also learn that Alex was her son.

Meanwhile, Hurley has created a golf course. Everyone is super excited about playing golf and all is peaceful. Yay Hurley.

That's pretty much all I can remember - I was cross-stitching at the same time so I may have missed something...

[sarahh]

From www.abc.com ...
"Solitary"
Original Air Date: 11/17/2004

Sayid sits alone on an unfamiliar stretch of beach. He stares at the photo of the Arab woman we saw Claire return to him in "Walkabout." After running his fingers lovingly over it and placing it back inside his pack, Sayid stands to continue his journey. But something catches his eye. A closer look reveals it as a piece of wire sticking out of the sand. Sayid pulls the wire, lifting it out of the sand, leading into the jungle.

On our beach, Kate tells Jack she's worried about Sayid — it's been two days since he left. Jack tells her that Sayid is a trained soldier and can take care of himself.

Back in the jungle, Sayid continues to follow the cable until he sees something that causes him to stop in his tracks. There, hidden in the thick undergrowth of the jungle is a tripwire. Sayid carefully steps over the booby trap only to find that the wire was designed to get him to do exactly that. He's snatched into the air and slammed into a tree, impaling his leg on a branch. He continues to hang in the trap for a long time, quietly praying when he hears something coming. Caught between fear and hope, he calls out for help. The rope that's holding him is cut with one swipe of a machete and Sayid comes crashing to the ground. He's able to see the faint outline of someone coming towards him before he passes out.

At the caves, Jack is tending to the various ailments of the survivors. Hurley comments that everyone appears severely strung out. Jack tells Hurley at least they're surviving and they should be happy about that. Jack: "Things could be worse." Hurley: "How?"

As Sayid slowly regains consciousness, he hears a woman's voice ask, "Where is Alex?" When Sayid doesn't answer, the shadowy figure that belongs to the voice flips a switch and electricity surges through the wire bed frame that Sayid is tied to. His body jerks in response to the pain. Sayid begs her to stop and tries to tell her he doesn't know who Alex is, but the switch is flipped again and the light bulbs dim as the voltage is channeled to more painful use.

We FLASHBACK to an interrogation room where a younger, uniformed Sayid works over a prisoner tied to a chair. He beats him savagely until his victim relents. Sayid's superior, "Omar" is impressed enough to promote him and as they playfully tease each other outside the torture rooms, a female prisoner is led across their path. She and Sayid seem to share a flash of recognition, but before they can act on it, she is led away.

Night has fallen at the caves and Hurley is roused from his sleep when Locke returns to camp with some additional luggage he and another survivor found while out tracking game. As they leave it to Hurley to process for useful items, Walt wakes up and asks Locke if he can go hunting with him. Before Locke can answer, Michael wakes up and answers for him. No chance…

We rejoin Sayid in the island in midst of another jolt of electricity. He pleads with his captor, claiming he doesn't know who Alex is! He survived a plane crash and heard a distress call that a French woman left—one that has been playing for sixteen years. When his captor repeats the distress call, we realize that Sayid is being held by the FRENCH WOMAN herself! As she comes into frame and reveals her wild eyes, she tells Sayid that she knows who he really is and knocks him out again.

When he comes to once more, Sayid sees the French Woman rummaging through his pack. He takes a moment to look around her habitat and notices a name stenciled on the back of a jacket. He says it aloud, "Rousseau." But hearing her name only makes her more suspicious and she wants to know more about Sayid. She finds the photos in his backpack and asks him who the woman is. And that question is answered when we FLASHBACK to the prison where we saw Sayid earlier. He has been given a new prisoner to interrogate, but when he steps inside to begin his questions, he discovers this is no ordinary prisoner—it's the woman who crossed his path in the previous flashback. She calls Sayid by his given name and we learn that they grew up together, when he knew her as "Nadia." She wonders how the boy she liked so much as a child could willingly serve the regime of Saddam Hussein. She shows him the scars that mark the other interrogations she has suffered through and says she will tell him nothing. Sayid: "Then I'm going to hurt you." Nadia: "I know."

Back in real time, the French Woman wants to know if the woman in the photo is on the island. Sayid tells her that she is dead because of him. This admission seems to form a connection with the French Woman who tells Sayid her name is "Danielle" and shares that she knows what it is like to lose a love. Sayid asks if she means "Alex", but she says it was Robert, a fellow scientist stranded with Danielle when their research vessel sank off the island years ago.Continues in next post...

[sarahh]

Continued from previous post...Meanwhile, at the caves, Michael is in the middle of showing Jack his design for an ingenious shower system when Charlie summons them to a grassy hill over the ocean where they are met with something totally unexpected—even for this island. A golf bag was found in the wreckage and Hurley has been busy constructing a primitive 2-hole golf course to raise spirits.

Back at Danielle's habitat, she shows Sayid a broken music box that Robert gave her. Sayid offers to fix it…if she will untie his hands. She goes to a cabinet and removes an ancient hypodermic syringe, using sandpaper to remove the rust from the needle itself. As Sayid begs her not to do it, she jabs him in the leg and sends him under. When he comes to, Sayid is chained to a desk by his feet and the music box is waiting in front of him. She mentions the presence of the "others", but when Sayid asks if she has actually seen other people on the island, she says no. However, she claims to hear them…out there in the jungle. They whisper…

We FLASHBACK to the prison in Iraq as Sayid enters Nadia's cell with some food—and a seemingly genuine concern for her. Sayid shows her a series of photos and begs her to simply nod at the one who helped plan the bombing he's been investigating. If she does just that, he's sure he can get her released. And though we can see her affection for Sayid, Nadia won't do it.

Back in real time, Sayid uses the tools Danielle provided to work on the mechanics and soon it is playing just like new. As Danielle revels in the joy of the music, Sayid asks her to let him go. He now realizes that he must return to his friends. If they have any hope of rescue, they must all work together. Danielle tells him he can't leave, he needs her if he wants to survive—and as they are arguing there is a menacing ROAR from outside. Danielle immediately springs into action, grabbing her rifle, a knife and extra ammo. "Maybe it's one of the bears," she says. "Dinner." Sayid asks her to untie him so he can go with her. She tells him no—she knows he will only run off. As she is climbing out of the habitat, Sayid warns her that it might be the monster. Danielle looks at Sayid with a mixture of pity and reassurance—"Poor Sayid," she says. "There are no such things as monsters." As soon as she leaves the habitat, Sayid opens his hand to reveal a tiny screwdriver he managed to palm without Danielle seeing. He uses it to break free and he quickly gathers his things. He takes the many charts and maps on the table, stuffs them into his backpack and grabs the spare rifle before climbing his way out.

In FLASHBACK we go once more to the Iraqi prison to learn that Sayid has been ordered to shoot Nadia. He argues for more time, but Omar orders him to get on with it—it's been months and she's given them nothing. Sayid marches Nadia under armed guard toward the killing room. When they reach the room, he dismisses the other guards, telling them he'll take over from there. Once they're out of sight, he removes Nadia's hood and leads her to a door. He tells her that there's a truck outside that will be leaving for Baghdad in a few minutes—if she hurries, she can hide in the back and escape before anyone notices. As he removes her chains, Omar comes from behind and demands to know what's going on. Sayid's face answers the question for him and as he pulls his sidearm, Sayid draws his own and shoots Omar. Nadia begs Sayid to come with him, but he tells her he can't. If he deserts, Saddam's forces will murder his entire family. Nadia manages to write something on the back the familiar photo that Sayid carries before fleeing out the door.

Back in the jungle, Sayid struggles on his bad leg to escape. He hears someone coming and hides just in time to see Danielle looking for him. He gets the drop on her and tells her to throw down her weapon, but she won't listen. He tells her if she doesn't drop the gun, he'll have to shoot her, but she still raises the gun into firing position. Sayid is forced to pull the trigger — CLICK. Nothing happens. Danielle tells Sayid that she removed the firing pin. After an impassioned exchange between them, Danielle agrees to let Sayid leave, but refuses to come back with him. Sayid has one final question before he leaves, "Who is Alex?" Danielle has a look of sadness when she answers, "Alex was my child."

Meanwhile, in the valley, the whole camp is watching the first "Island Open" as Jack, Charlie and Michael battle it out on the golf course. People are actually laughing for what seems like the first time since they crashed here. Even Sawyer manages to share the moment with the others. But not everyone is at the Golf tournament. As Locke practices throwing one of his knives into the trunk of a tree, Walt emerges from the brush. He asks Locke to teach him. After considering the question for a moment, Locke turns the knife around and hands it to Walt. As he takes it, we are left to wonder just what he has begun…

As night falls, Sayid struggles to make his way back to the beach. The wind howls around him and for a moment he thinks he hears something…the whispering of voices. As we push in on Sayid, we are left to wonder whether the wind is playing tricks on him or…if there really is something out there.

[Jane&Andy]

thanks for the recaps. :) Sounds like it was a good one, I can't believe I missed it. Stupid thunderstorm!

Last nights episode was awesome, if only because it was full of beautiful, beautiful Sayid. That man makes my palms sweat a little bit.

Also, Hurley is adorable. He's my second favorite. I can't wait to see what his story is all about.

SEASON 2 SPOILER

OZ STAR GETS LOST: This just in from the Television Critics Association press tour: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who played Oz's Simon from 1997 to 2000, is joining the cast of ABC's Lost this fall as "a mysterious man whose presence on the island will be explained in early [Season 2] episodes."

writing in white for the spoiler - cool idea!!

[Clubqueen]

I watched LOST since the very beginning, since last Fall, and I'm really enjoying catching the re-runs now, since I missed a few episodes.

I love Sayid's character, but is it true that the creators are considering killing him off because of contract difficulties? He wants more money, or something like that? Sorry if this was mentioned before...

[Sazoo]

I love Sayid's character, but is it true that the creators are considering killing him off because of contract difficulties? He wants more money, or something like that? Sorry if this was mentioned before...

Hmmm, I have not heard that rumor yet! I sure hope he doesn't leave... :(

[sarahh]

It was a rumor for a little bit--but was declared untrue but several sources a while back.

[southerner]

The Danielle story is weird. I donb't know, just so far fetched, I guess. I'm wondering how her story is going to collide with the others. I'll be pissed if we don't see her for several episode again.

I wish Claire and/or Charlie were on more often though!

[sarahh]

Just got this in my email inbox...Oceanic-Air Inflight Magazine Exclusive: News from the Writers' Room
Dear Frequent Flyer -

Greeting from the writers' room of Lost!

Even though production has only just begun on the sandy shores of O'ahu (as well as the lush jungles of O'ahu, and the mysterious soundstages of O'ahu), the writers' room has been working overtime for several months to turn the overarching visions of the show's creators into episodic teleplays.

The writers' room is one of the main hubs of creative activity on Lost. To anyone on the outside it probably looks like an ordinary conference room, albeit one festooned with white boards and memorabilia.

One wall, for example is decorated with head shots of the cast. Another features the "Lost Survivors Count" where we keep a running track of the characters who have died on the series. Others are decorated with maps and posters of islands and beaches to keep us in the tropical mood (not a lot of white sand and clear water in sunny downtown Burbank -- but then again, not a lot of invisible monsters either).

But the nexus of the writers' room are the four massive white boards that span the length of the space. On these boards, we plot out not only the broad strokes of the entire year, but also the individual episodes, down to acts, scenes and beats, in an exhaustive process designed to bring the best out of every idea.

Several scripts have already been completed and are in the pre-production process, with many more in the pipeline. To give you a taste, here is an exclusive glance at the titles and writers of our first three episodes:

Episode One:
"Man of Science, Man of Faith" written by Damon Lindelof

Episode Two:
"Adrift" written by Steven Maeda & Leonard Dick

Episode Three:
"Orientation" written by Javier Grillo-Marxuach & Craig Wright
- and this is only the beginning!

Thanks for getting Lost with us!

[Katy]

Okay, I admit, I haven't been reading this thread since I know so many were watching the season for the first time.

I just got my second Oceanic Air newsletter (both with slight spoilers) and wanted to know if I could post them yet.

Just let me know...

ETA: well okay, I guess I should have read first, as I see Sarah already posted the newsletters. Nevermind, I'll just go back to being oblivious (and waiting for the new season) :o

[Katy]

Okay, I just caught up and I see that Sarahh just posted the second newsletter. Here's the first....

Dear Frequent Flyer -

Welcome to Oceanic Airlines -- and thank you for signing up for a weekly bulletin from the writers of "Lost."

*SPOILER* We have just reconvened to begin work on Season 2 of the series - after some much-needed vacation and a highly eventful first year that began with the crash of Oceanic Airlines 815 and literally ended with a bang as Jack, Locke and Kate blew open the mysterious hatch while young Walt was kidnapped by The Others... and yes, they were The Others! */SPOILER*

As we set out to dramatize such mysteries as the contents of the mysterious hatch and the uncertain fate of Michael, Sawyer and Jin, last seen treading water among the burning remains of the raft -- we thought you might want to know the writers who will be responsible for bringing you the answers -- and a whole lot of new questions -- during the second season.

In addition to series creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse returns as executive producer. "Lost" is a reunion for Cuse and Lindelof - who worked together on Cuse's creation "Nash Bridges" (Cuse also created "Martial Law" and co-created "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr"). Before co-creating "Lost," Lindelof served as writer/producer on "Crossing Jordan."

New additions to the staff include co-executive producer Steven Maeda, whose previous credits include "The X-Files" and "CSI: Miami," supervising producer Craig Wright, who previously wrote for HBO's "Six Feet Under," and producer Elzabeth Sarnoff, whose previous credits include "Deadwood" and "Crossing Jordan."

Returning from season one are supervising producers Leonard Dick, whose credits include "Fastlane" and "Hack," Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, formerly of "Felicity" and "Popular," and Javier Grillo-Marxuach who previously wrote on "Boomtown" and "The Pretender."

With this team in place, you can be sure that "Lost" will pack on the surprises on year two. As a Frequent Flyer, you will receive regular updates from the writers room -- so watch your inbox...

...and thank you for getting lost with us!

ETA: I couldn't get the colors to work (I tried 2/3 of the greys and then just gave up to go BOLD instead)

thanks sarahh!

[mel7dog]

what's going on they skipped episode 10!!! I am so mad, so confused already!! Here is the recap from episode 10

"Raised by Another"
Air Date: 12/01/2004

Claire wakes to the sound of a baby crying, opens her eyes and looks down to find that she's no longer pregnant. She follows the cries to find Locke, sitting at a desk in the middle of the jungle. He relays a cryptic message to Claire—"He was your responsibility, but you gave him away. Everyone pays the price now." Then he looks up and Claire sees that one eye is light, the other dark. She runs away and stumbles upon a baby's crib, above which hangs a mobile with miniature Oceanic planes spinning in a circle. Claire reaches down to pick up the crying baby—but the crib is empty. She peels back the white blankets to discover her hands are covered in blood. Claire screams. A hand falls on her shoulder—she turns and wakes again to find Charlie, who tells her that she's having a nightmare. But his concern grows when he sees blood on her hands…

Charlie brings Claire to see Jack, who explains that she was sleepwalking and that the blood was a result of digging her fingernails into her palms. He questions her about her pregnancy—specifically about the date when she found out she was pregnant—which leads to—

A FLASHBACK—of Claire with her boyfriend Thomas. Both are panicked over the positive results of an EPT test. Claire is hesitant to accept the truth. But Thomas tells her that he loves her and convinces her that it could be a good thing for them to raise this baby together.

Back on the island, Charlie brings Claire some tea and offers to be her friend. But Claire is clearly hesitant again, unwilling to get close to him. Meanwhile, Kate tells Jack she is worried about Sayid, who has been gone for days.

Another FLASHBACK reveals Claire with a friend on a visit to see a psychic. The psychic seems legitimate when he asks Claire about her pregnancy. However, he refuses to go on with the reading when he sees something blurry in her future. With a look of panic on his face, he asks Claire to leave.

Back at the caves, Claire is sound asleep when someone sneaks up and covers her mouth. Charlie and Jack wake to her screams again and rush to her side. Though she appears to be alone, she claims that someone was trying to hurt her baby and stabbed her with some sort of needle. Charlie and Hurley immediately set out on the hunt while Jack tries to calm Claire. Hurley suggests they start to canvass, or at the very least, compile a list of names of each survivor on the island. In the meantime, Charlie volunteers to stay with Claire and look out for her.

Another FLASHBACK shows Claire and Thomas in the process of fixing up their apartment for the baby. But something is clearly wrong with Thomas, who's beginning to get cold feet and fears the responsibility of a baby. He goes as far as to suggest that Claire trapped him and walks out on her.

Back at the beach, Jack and Charlie talk to Kate. Jack expresses doubt that something actually happened to Claire -she was sleepwalking and woke up two nights in a row, screaming—her symptoms are textbook anxiety. Why would someone try to hurt her baby anyway? Jack is concerned that her stress level could trigger an early labor. He goes to Claire and offers her a sedative, suggesting that she may have been imagining things due to all the anxiety, to which Claire takes offense and packs up for the beach.

Hurley continues his census with a guy named Ethan Rom, while Claire walks toward the beach. We FLASHBACK to Claire re-visiting the psychic, offering him more money and requesting that he continue her reading -she needs to know the future now that Thomas is gone because she intends on giving up the baby for adoption. But the psychic tells her that it's crucial she raise this child herself, warning her that great danger will befall her if she gives it up. Claire runs out. But the psychic is persistent and calls her on the phone. He begins to offer an alternative solution, but Claire hangs up before he can finish.

On the island, Hurley gets registry info from Shannon & Boone. Boone suggests it might be easier if Hurley got the plane manifest from Sawyer. Hurley goes to Sawyer and doesn't even bother negotiating -he just comes out and asks. And, surprisingly, Sawyer gives it up.

Meanwhile, Charlie catches up with Claire on her way to the beach. Claire claims that the only reason Charlie wants to help her is because of his need to rescue the pregnant girl. As she tells him she doesn't need rescuing, she has a contraction. Charlie reluctantly runs to get Jack as we go into—

A FLASHBACK—to a lawyer's office, where Claire is about to sign papers giving up rights to her baby. But her pen runs out of ink and she can't bring herself to do it. She leaves and revisits the psychic, ready to take him up on his offer.

Charlie runs into Ethan and sends him to get Jack while he returns to Claire, whose contractions have stopped. Claire tells Charlie about the psychic as we—

FLASHBACK to the events she retells, where the psychic offers her money and a plane ticket to Los Angeles to meet a couple with whom the baby will be safe. But the tickets are for an Oceanic flight—and Charlie deduces that the psychic may have known about the plane crash all along and was consciously sending her and her baby to their death.

Meanwhile, Sayid returns to the camp with news of the French Woman, (a callback to the very first episode, when the survivors heard the French Transmission) announcing that they're not alone on the island. Hurley confirms this information with news that one of the survivors names wasn't on the manifest. And while returning to the caves, Claire and Charlie run into that survivor—Ethan Rom. Off of their terrified expressions, we cut to black.

[mrs_pell]

I just now saw this thread, and I'm really confused right now. I saw last week's, and now they're showing the "previously on 'Lost,'" and it's nothign that we've seen before. This Ethan guy? Have we seen him on the re-runs? Did they skip an episode? I'm so confused. :rolleyes:

[mel7dog]

read my post above they sskipped an episode, I am so mad :mad:

[mrs_pell]

Thanks! I saw that after I posted. It's amazing what missing an episode does! Sucks!

[Sazoo]

I wonder why they skipped an episode? :confused: Did they skip just one? I can't remember the order of the episodes (although I have watched them all) so I don't know which one(s) was/were missed. :( Maybe someone should post a recap of the missing episode(s) so everyone who reads this thread can fill in the blanks of what they missed.

How annoying...this show is one where you really need to see every episode in order to be able to fully follow the story. I thought they were going to show the entire first season in re-runs this summer so new viewers can get hooked before the fall season begins. :(

They've been playing the entire season, from the beginning, up until now, when they skipped episode ten. The recap from their website is above. It's still really, really annoying. I've read the recaps from episodes that I've seen, and the re-cap definitely doesn't do the episode justice.

[PGirl26]

Earlier in the thread, someone had posted a great website for recaps on the show. I've searched the entire thing and now I can't find it....if anyone knows of a recap website, can you post it? I'm just now getting into the show, and want to catch up :) thanks

[mrs_pell]

PGirl26, I *think* that was posted in the WC thread. I briefly looked through that thread when it first started. I just now saw this thread, so I don't know if it was posted here or not, but I believe it was posted in the WC thread. I think it was just ABC's "lost" site. http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/episodes/2004-05/1.html

[southerner]

I was so mad they skipped an episode. Maybe they are going to have to cut some out in order to start the new season on time??? I hope no more. Thanks for the detailed recap, mel7dog. Guess that will have to do for me :rolleyes:

So, now we know what Jack did to his Dad and I, too would feel immense guilt for this. They were closing that girl's case and Jack had to revise his statement, wow, I was shocked :eek:

Wonder what that is that Boone and Locke found??

Sawyer and Boone are still hot, by the way!

[southerner]

DH just said to me "they wouldn't kill Claire off like that, would they?" I never thought about the possibility of them killing off main characters before that??!?!!

[PGirl26]

I didn't watch the show when I was on the WC...But maybe that's where I found that..who knows...But it wasn't at the ABC site. I looked there. It was a great site though... thanks for the help!

[sarahh]

I read somewhere that they have to cut come epsiodes in order to show Season One in time for Season Two to start.

PGirl26...Is this the website... Lost Media (http://www.lost-media.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=list_pages_categories&cid=1) ?

[southerner]

I was excited to learn about Claire's life, that sucks! Wonder what/if they are going to skip any other shows. If so, I hope they are choosing wisely. I feel like a lot happened on the show we missed this week though :(

Stevesbabygirl posted a website that she is a moderator for about Lost and Alias, maybe that's the website you are looking for, PGirl26?

[katmg]

I had a dinner last night and I missed Lost. Could someone post a recap of what happened?? Please!

TIA!

Season 1: Episode 11 - "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues"
12/08/2004



Picking up right were we left off last week, the survivors react to the information that Ethan was not on the plane manifest. Fearing the worse, Jack and Locke rush out to locate Charlie and Claire. They come across Claire's bag and find a set of footprints with evidence that someone was dragged off. Jack calls to Charlie and Claire, but Locke urges him to be quiet - whoever took them could still be around. While Locke wants to organize a search party, Jack acts impetuously and runs off on his own.

We FLASHBACK -- to Jack in the OR, attempting to resuscitate a female patient. The Chief of Surgery enters and orders him to call the time of death. But Jack is determined and won't stop CPR. Everyone in the room can feel the tension between them until finally, the Chief steps up and calls it himself.

Back at camp, Locke gathers his gear with the intention of catching up with Jack. Kate and Boone volunteer to go along with him. But when Michael tries to volunteer, Locke tells him that another person would only slow them down. Feeling rejected, Michael threatens to put together his own search party.

Out in the jungle, with little to go on, Jack's search is proving futile. We FLASHBACK to the OR again, as he looks over the dead patient's body. The Chief berates Jack for taking over his surgery. Jack says that he stepped in because one of the nurses told him the Chief's hands were shaking and that he cut into the patient's artery. And we begin to realize just how personal this argument really is when Jack asks, "How many drinks did you have at lunch, Dad?" As their eyes lock, we recognize Jack's dad, Christian.

Back on the island, Locke, Kate and Boone catch up with Jack and realize he's been going in circles. Locke insists that he return to camp and look over Sayid, "You be the doctor, I'll be the hunter." But Jack refuses and follows after them.

At camp, Michael fills up water bottles, all the while complaining to Hurley that Locke treats him like a second class citizen. Walt defends Locke and advises his father to listen to him. Michael doesn't take this too well and in a competitive action, resolves to head south in search of Charlie and Claire.

Meanwhile, the northern search continues, but they're having trouble finding any leads. Locke wants to rest, but Jack insists they push on. Kate follows Jack in an attempt to find out what's driving him so hard. Jack reveals that he feels guilty about not believing Claire when she said that someone was trying to take her baby. Locke calls after them because he's found a piece of tape from Charlie's fingers. It seems that Charlie left them a trail. They follow it hopefully, until Locke picks up the footprints again. Locke wants to follow them, while Jack insists they continue on Charlie's trail. Kate points out that the footprints could be a trap. Since she seems to know an awful lot about tracking herself, they split in two - Kate with Jack follow Charlie's trail, while Locke with Boone continue to follow the footprints.

Back at the caves, Walt and Hurley play backgammon. The more Walt continues to win, the more his ability to, "make things happen" becomes apparent. Hurley leaves in utter defeat and frustration. Bored, Walt wanders down to the beach and spreads the news about Charlie and Claire. He runs into Sawyer and suggests that maybe they aren't the only people on the island. While Sawyer brushes him off, he can't help but be disturbed at the thought.

Out on the search, Locke & Boone get to know one another. Boone is surprised to learn of Locke's meager existence in the real world -John Locke was a Regional Collections Supervisor for a box company. Meanwhile, Jack attempts to get to know Kate a little better, asking her to give him something honest for once and tell him where she picked up her tracking skills. Kate tells Jack that her father was in the army and that he taught her about tracking when they would go hiking together. And off that revelation about Kate's father, we go to -

-- a FLASHBACK with Jack's father, who encourages his son to sign off on the death report, which conveniently leaves out the part about his father's mistakes. Jack refuses to sign, insisting that his father was impaired, which is what ultimately led to the woman's death. Jack's father reminds him that he is on the hook too -Jack is the surgeon on record when the woman died. He begs his son not to contradict the report or mention anything about the involvement of alcohol - it would cost him his license. He further appeals to his son's emotions, telling him just what he wants to hear: He's been hard on him to make him the best surgeon in the city. Jack's father promises that it will never happen again and Jack signs the papers.

Back on the island, Sawyer goes to the caves to talk to Sayid. The hostility between them is still palpable and while we think Sawyer may have come for payback, we soon learn he's there to have some questions answered - what did Sayid find while he was away? Sayid shares information of the French woman and her team, but points out that what she said may or may not be true. Sawyer pushes for more information, but Sayid admits that he doesn't have the answers.

Out in the jungle, Locke & Boone are hot on the trail. Locke senses that it's going to rain and warns Boone against impending danger ahead. He tries to convince him to go back to camp. But Boone refuses and follows Locke deeper into the jungle as it begins to pour. Meanwhile, Jack and Kate hear the roar of the monster as we --

-- FLASHBACK - to the hospital, where Jack sees his father conversing with the deceased woman's husband in the hallway. A nurse tells Jack that the man has threatened to sue. Jack watches his father work his persuasive magic and console the husband.

In real time, Jack and Kate run and are separated. Jack slips and slides down a bank into a puddle of mud. He looks up to see Ethan standing over him. Ethan orders Jack to stop following him. But when Jack asks who he is and where Charlie and Claire are, Ethan delivers a healthy punch to Jack's face, knocking him back down. He tells Jack once again to stop following him or he'll kill one of his people. Jack attempts to fight him off, but Ethan is too strong and gains the upper hand, telling Jack this is his last warning and knocking him out. Kate finds Jack and suggests that Ethan may have been a hallucination - he fell pretty hard and banged his head. But Jack is sure Ethan was there and is now more determined than ever to find Charlie and Claire.

We FLASHBACK to a medical review board, where Jack's father details what happened during the fateful surgery. Jack can barely stomach listening to his father's lies. When he learns that the patient in question was pregnant, he can no longer hold his tongue and speaks out against his father, revising his statement to include the fact that his father was operating under the influence and severed the patient's artery. Jack's father stares at his son, shocked by this act of betrayal.

Back in the jungle, Jack and Kate come across Charlie, strung up by his neck, hanging from a tree limb. Kate struggles to climb the tree and cut him down as Jack holds him up. She finally succeeds and Jack works to resuscitate him. It becomes increasingly clear that Charlie is gone and Kate has to pull Jack away - but Jack won't give up, and after beating on Charlie's chest, he gets him to breathe again.

Back at camp, Michael returns without success, disappointing Walt; Kate tells Shannon her brother is safe with Locke; and Jack tries to get Charlie to talk about what happened - but Charlie is experiencing a sort of shellshock and can only convey that all Ethan wanted was Claire.

Out in the jungle, Boone is ready to turn back, the bravado replaced by fear. But his mind changes when he and Locke make an extraordinary discovery - something metal embedded in the ground - and it's not a piece of the wreckage. Excited, Locke vows to find out exactly what it is.

[sarahh]

I just went to the ABC website and it looks like they will not be airing episodes 12 and 13. Last nights episode was #11-All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues (Jack), the next two are supposed to be #12- Whatever the Case May Be (Kate) and #13- Hearts and Minds (Boone). But they are jumping right to #14- Special (Walt).

I find that really surprising because their are some big revelations in those episodes...ESPECIALLY #13- Hearts and Minds!! Like a jaw dropping revelation!

[southerner]

I'm so pissed!!!!!!!!!!

Boone is my hottie!!!!!!!

What's the big revelation? I guess it doesn't matter since we aren't going to see it. And they're skipping two in a row, now that's a bit much!!

[southerner]

can't they just show the episodes they have to cut out another night???

[swcolleen]

Does anyone know how many episodes season 1 is? ie how many we will miss?


I am in the process of writing a nasty letter to ABC as we speak...here is the email address if other want to too-i suggesting to them to run all the episodes:

netaudr@abc.com

[swcolleen]

Just for kicks....here is what I wrote to them...I know its a bit long but I figure it can't hurt-evne if some poor intern is the only one who may really see it:

"To whom it may concern,
This letter is in regards to the fact that you skipped airing season 1
Lost episode #10 in re-runs and from what I have heard (and according
to the Tivo on next weeks episode) you will be skipping more.

My question to you is WHY?

Why would you re-run a series that is such an evident hit, and skip
ANY episodes in re-running the first season that would result in
prohibiting NEW viewers in getting up to date and then continuing to
watch during future seasons??

My husband and I are SHOCKED and very upset (along with many others I
have spoken to in online message boards) that we have taken the time
this summer to start watching Lost-in order to catch up to it for the
fall. The fact that as "new" viewers we are not given the same respect
or experience in watching the entire season as the original audience
is quite a disappointment. Do you think it will boost DVD sales if you
do this? I can tell you that if your strategy was too get us to buy
the DVD by skipping episodes, it is working in reverse. We are more
turned off now by not only your attitude toward new viewers but also
the fact that as a network you would not deliver to your audience.

It has been proven by audience viewership that Lost is a break out hit
for ABC-especially with emmy nominations and such but in order to
carry a show through the next season, you will continue to need
viewers. By re-running episodes this summer your inital strategy was a
great way to double your viewing audience for the fall-and expand your
demographics. I can honestly tell you that as someone who watches
quite a lot of television in both daytime and primetime, ABC is rarely
in my preferred lineup or in my Tivo "to do" list, that is until Lost.
By watching Lost re-runs, I not only got hooked onto the show and
anxiously await each Wednesday night to learn more in preparation for
the Fall season, but I am exposed to the commercials for your others
shows and I just might decide to watch one. But right now, I am just
interested in LOST, and my interest is slowly but surely diminishing
because of a network that has decided to "tease" its audience rather
than reward them.

I am hoping that as a network, you will take a look at your current
primetime line up for the next few weeks and re-evaluate the
importance of not only airing season 1 episode 10 (even if its not in
order) but also being sure to air ALL of season one's episodes.

Just a few scenarios for you would be to run double episodes each Wed,
run multiple times a week for the summer or even run a marathon on a
saturday or sunday night when we know every network needs some help
with their audience numbers.

You have an opportunity now to hold on to the new viewers you have
picked up over the summer or to let them go back to their regular
scheduled programing in the fall on NBC, CBS or any other network they
choose. You have the power to fullfill your original commitment to
your audience and air ALL of season one of Lost prior to the start of
season two, now let's just hope you can follow through. If not, I know
the other networks would appreciate my viewing their shows over yours.

I look forward to hearing from you and being informed as too what your
future plans are for the rest of Lost's re-runs this summer. There are
many message boards already with talk about this issue and I can
promise that not matter what you may decide to do-or reply-to this, I
will be passing the information along to others, postive or not.

Thank you"

[sarahh]

There are 24 episodes in Season One and there just aren't enough Wednesdays between the Season 1 finale and the Season 2 premiere.

There are only 16 Wednesdays from May 25th (end of Season 1) to September 21 (beginning of Season 2). That means that they either have to find time for 8 additional episodes or not show any the second time around.

Although I wish they hadn't cut Hearts and Minds (#13)...my jaw dropped on the floor with that one!!

Here are the official recaps for #12 & 13....

Season 1: Episode 12 - "Whatever the Case May Be"

Kate is out climbing trees for fruit when she runs into Sawyer. They walk through an unexplored part of the jungle, hear the sound of running water and come into a clearing to find a waterfall. They climb to the top and dive into the water to find that this lagoon is not as perfect as it looked. On the bottom, still strapped to their airplane seats, they find two bodies. Horrified, they surface, but Sawyer wants to dive back down and see if he can find any valuables. Kate spots a silver Haliburton case, which she brings up and claims as her own - however, she doesn't have the key, which leads Sawyer to believe otherwise. Kate attempts to act as if the case doesn't matter to her and hands it over to Sawyer.

Back at the beach, people scurry to salvage their belongings as the tide comes up and threatens the fuselage. Jack presses Sayid for information regarding the French woman. Sayid explains that he has to translate the maps and papers in order to make sense of anything. Meanwhile, on another part of the beach, Shannon interrogates Boone as to where he's been - he's been leaving everyday at sunrise and returning after dark. Boone claims he's been out looking for Claire and tells Shannon she's been absolutely useless.

As the sun sets on another day, Kate sits by the campfire, obviously disturbed that Sawyer has the Haliburton case and whatever it may hold. We FLASHBACK to find Kate at a bank, opening a new account, when three armed men enter and order everyone on the ground. Robber #1 tells the Bank Manager to open the money cage before people start getting killed.

Back on the island, Kate sneaks up on Sawyer in an attempt to lift the case out from under his legs. But Sawyer wakes up and grabs Kate in a leg lock. Kate gives him a head butt and escapes. She demands Sawyer hand over the Haliburton, but in typical Sawyer fashion, he refuses, now very intrigued by what this case means to Kate.

The next day, Sayid approaches Shannon as she lies on the beach sunbathing and requests her help in translating the papers he took from the French woman, Rousseau. And while she suspects Boone may have put Sayid up to it, she agrees to try in order to prove herself useful. Meanwhile, Sawyer attempts to pick the lock on the Haliburton. Michael and Hurley tell him how futile it is, but Sawyer claims he can pick the lock on anything. Michael tells him the only way to open it would be to hit it with something hard - like the axe…

…which Boone carries through the jungle, where he meets up with Locke. After convincing Locke that no one saw him take the axe, they head off on an unknown mission.

Sawyer attempts to smash the Halliburton open on a rock, but much to his frustration it still won't crack. He climbs to the top of a tree and drops it on some boulders. Suddenly, Kate comes sneaking out of the woods and grabs the case. Sawyer climbs down and gives chase, eventually catching up and tackling her to the ground. Sawyer promises that if she tells him what's inside the case, he'll hand it over. But Kate remains silent as we --

-- FLASHBACK to the bank, where the robbers are getting violent. A customer near Kate attempts to take out Robber #2, knocking his gun loose and sending it skidding across the floor, landing at Kate's feet. The customer yells at her to pick it up. Kate fumbles with the gun and claims she doesn't know how to use it. Robber #1 grabs her and forcefully leads her into the back room, where we learn that they are in cahoots together when they lock lips in a passionate kiss.

Back at the caves, Kate approaches Jack to ask for his help in getting the Haliburton from Sawyer. Kate suggests they dig up the Marshal's body in order to get the key from his wallet. She tells Jack that the case contains four, 9-millimeter guns, which would be dangerous for Sawyer to have in his possession. But Jack knows there's something more to the story - there always is with Kate. He senses there must be something very important to her in that case and agrees to help her on one condition - that once they get the key, they open it together.

This leads to another FLASHBACK to the back room of the bank, where in order to make it look good, Robber #1 slugs "Maggie" across the face. He pushes her out to the front and puts a gun to her head, threatening to pull the trigger if the Manager doesn't hand over the keys to the cage. The Manager finally gives in and they march him over to the money.

On the island, Kate and Jack continue digging, revolted by the stench. They reach the Marshal's body, where Kate reaches into his pocket and lifts out his wallet. She opens it, but comes up empty handed. She hands the wallet over to Jack, who is quick to realize that Kate palmed the key. Angry with her for continuing to lie to him, Jack takes the key from her.

At the beach, Shannon continues her attempt to translate the papers, but Sayid is growing increasingly frustrated - the equations don't relate to her translations. Shannon suggests that the French woman may have been crazy after sixteen years alone on the island, which is why nothing makes sense. Sayid feels asking for Shannon's help may have been a mistake and when he verbalizes his regret, she picks up and leaves in a huff.

Meanwhile, Jack threatens to stop administering antibiotics to Sawyer if he doesn't give him the Haliburton. Sawyer reluctantly hands it over, but not before asking if Kate divulged the contents, to which Jack can only shake his head "no." Jack brings the case back to Kate and they begin to open it together, as agreed, when we --

-- FLASHBACK to the cage, where Robber #1 pockets bundles of cash. The Manager argues to let "the girl" go. But Robber #1 has different plans. He reveals that "the girl" is the mastermind behind the heist, before taking off his mask and aiming his gun at the Manager. Kate quickly spins and disarms Robber #2, leveling that gun on Robber #1 - "We said nobody gets hurt." But when Robber #1 continues advancing toward the Manager, Kate is forced to shoot him in the leg. The other Robbers react and each takes a bullet from Kate. Kate turns to the Manager and demands the keys to the Safety Deposit boxes. Robber #1 writhes on the ground, incredulous that Maggie would set them up. Kate responds, "My name's not Maggie". She gets the Manager's keys, and with her customer key, opens the box. Inside she finds a small green envelope.

Back on the island, Jack and Kate are about to open the Haliburton when Jack asks Kate if there is anything she wants to tell him first. When Kate says nothing, Jack proceeds to open the case. He pulls out the guns, the ammo and an envelope marked 'personal effects'. Kate takes it and opens it to find the smaller green envelope, which we recognize from the bank. She pulls out…a small toy airplane!? Jack asks if that's what she was looking for and demands to know the truth. Kate claims the plane belonged to the man she loved, then breaks down and admits it belonged to the man she killed. Angry and confused, Jack takes the guns and leaves.

On the new beach, people have settled around scattered campfires for the evening. Shannon approaches Sayid and tells him that she realized the words from the papers were lyrics to a song… "Beyond the Sea." And as Shannon sings the hauntingly beautiful song in French, we pull back to reveal Boone, watching from the shadows.

At a separate campfire, Kate stares at the toy plane with a tear in her eye.

Season 1: Episode 13 - "Hearts and Minds"

Boone's eye opens -- he's staring at something. From his POV we see Sayid enjoying an easy conversation with his sister, Shannon. Hurley interrupts Boone, asking him why he and Locke haven't brought back any boars lately? Boone is offended and tells Hurley that hunting boar isn't as easy as he thinks. Hurley reminds Boone that everybody needs protein -- this isn't a game.

We FLASHBACK to a posh tennis club. Boone is just leaving the court with a lady friend when he gets a call on his cell phone. It's Shannon - - she's crying and we can hear shouting in the background. She begs Boone for help, asking him to come and get her. Boone asks her where she is and the answer serves as another piece of the LOST puzzle falling into place: "Sydney."

Back on the island, Boone confronts Sayid and tells her to stay away from his sister. Sayid doesn't seem the least bit intimidated, but Boone isn't backing down either. Before push comes to shove Locke calls Boone away, they have work to do. While trudging through the jungle, Locke counsels Boone not to make an enemy out of Sayid -- they are going to need him on their side…later. For now the important thing is to get back to the hatch.

Hurley finds Jack and asks him if he has anything to help his upset stomach. Jack asks Hurley a few questions and we discover the cause of his distress. Hurley has been eating nothing but fruit for the last week and his stomach is starting to complain -- they need protein, but there hasn't been any boar. Jack tells him to go and ask Jin for some fish, but Hurley tells Jack that Jin has it in for him because he refused to eat the sea urchin Jin caught the day they crashed. Later, when Jack recounts this story to Kate, she offers about a more disturbing possibility for the lack of boar meat lately. "What if Locke is not catching them on purpose?"

Meanwhile, back in the jungle, Locke and Boone contemplate how to open the hatch when we…

FLASHBACK to a house in Australia. When Boone rings the bell, Shannon's boyfriend, Brian answers. Boone enters looking for Shannon and when she arrives in the room, she looks surprised to see him. Boone reminds her of her frantic call to his cell phone, but she clams up and asks him to leave. While Brian has his back to her, Shannon pulls back her hair to reveal a nasty-looking bruise on her face -- a silent cry for help to Boone.

Back on the beach, Hurley's desperation has forced him to approach Jin. He asks him to teach him how to fish, but Jin has no idea what Hurley is saying. Still, as Jin walks to the water for day's fishing, Hurley is following close behind.

At the hatch, Boone tries to convince Locke to tell the others about their discovery. If not everyone else, at least Shannon. Locke tells Boone she isn't ready to know ant that telling her now will only cause problems, but Boone insists -- he's going to tell her when they get back to camp. Locke feels that Shannon has too large an influence over Boone's life, but tells him the decision is his. But when Boone starts off again down the trail, Locke whacks him over the head with the handle of a knife, knocking him out cold.

Boone wakes up to find he is tied to a tree. Locke sits before him mixing a strange concoction in a coconut bowl. Boone begs Locke to untie him, but Locke refuses and then comes over and spreads some of his concoction over Boone's open head wound. Locke tells Boone that he is on his own and he leaves a knife…just out of Boone's reach. "You can cut yourself free and make your way back to camp," Locke says, "With the proper motivation."

We FLASHBACK to Boone at an Australian police station. While attempting to file a complaint against Brian, we learn an interesting bit of information. Shannon and Boone are not blood related - - his mother married her father when they were children. The police can't help Boone, so he decides to take another approach. He finds Brian at work on the docks and tells him to get out of Shannon's life. When Brian scoffs, telling Boone that he loves Shannon, Boone decides to get to the point and asks what his love is worth. Showing his true colors, Brian names his price - - $50,000 US dollars.

Back on the island, Kate and Sun are working in a garden that Sun has made. Kate is taking advantage of the safety zone (Sun can't understand her) and is speaking freely about herself. When she says something funny, Sun can't help but laugh and Kate realizes that Sun can speak English. Sun begs Kate not to tell anyone.

Meanwhile, back at the beach, Hurley is trying his best to mimic everything Jin does in an attempt to catch some fish of his own. Having no luck at all, he throws down his makeshift net in frustration and storms back to the beach, but he steps on a sea urchin and howls out in pain. Jin helps him back to the beach and Hurley begs him to urinate on his foot in order to prevent infection. English or no, Jin understands this request…and flatly refuses.

Back in the jungle, Boone struggles to free himself, but there is no way of reaching the knife. Suddenly, he hears Shannon screaming from another part of the jungle. When he asks her for help, she tells him that she is tied up too. And there's a bigger problem…the monster is back. And it's coming their way! Now with Shannon's safety in mind, Boone is able to contort himself just enough to get the knife and he cuts himself loose before following Shannon's screams to her locations and cutting her loose as well. There is not a second to spare and they both sprint off to avoid the monster hot on their heels. They hide in a mangrove trunk and pray the monster will go away.

We FLASHBACK to the same house in Australia. Boone has paid Brian off and is coming to collect Shannon and her things. But Shannon looks guilty and we learn why when Brian comes into the room and lays it all out for Boone -- he's been had. Shannon orchestrated the whole drama in an attempt to get money from Boone's mother. Boone is humiliated and his emotions get the better of him, resulting in a fight between him and Brian. Brian leaves the house bloodied and dejected.

Back in the jungle, the coast is clear. As Boone and Shannon make their way along the trail, Boone tells Shannon all about the hatch.

Jack and Charlie make a fire on the beach and jack asks Charlie for his opinion on Locke. Charlie doesn't hesitate to say that Locke is the one man on the island that he would trust his life to.

Kate and Sun continue to talk about the English secret. When Kate asks why Sun doesn't tell Jin, Sun tells Kate it's because she loves him -- asking Kate, "Haven't you ever lied to a man you loved?" But we're not getting that answer yet…

Back at camp, Hurley is sharing his tail of failure and sea urchin to Michael when Jin arrives and presents Hurley with his very own fish. He may not speak English, but he recognizes that Hurley made a good effort and this is his reward.

In the jungle Boone and Shannon are attacked by the monster again. And this time, try as they might they can't run fast enough and Shannon is snatched up by the beast. As Boone screams after her…

We FLASHBACK to Boone's hotel room in Sydney. He is packing when there is a knock on the door -- it's Shannon. She tells him that Brian took off with the money and now Shannon has no place to go. The player got played. Shannon latches on to Boone telling him that she knew he would bring the money…because he is in love with her. He always has been. Boone tells her she is drunk and crazy, but she comes closer and closer and Boone can't help himself. They fall into a passionate kiss, but the next morning, Shannon is ice cold towards Boone and tells him she wants things to go back the way they were, regardless of Boone's feelings.

Back on the island, Boone continues his desperate search for Shannon. But when he finds her bloody, crumpled body lying by the stream we all know he is too late. Booone weeps as she dies in his arms.

Later, finally making his way back to camp, Boone sees Locke sitting by the fire and attacks him, blaming Locke for Shannon's death. When Boone tells Locke that Shannon died in his arms, Locke asks Boone why there is no blood on him. And there isn't any! Just as Boone is going to ask what happened, Shannon comes into view. She's alive and well and chatting happily with Sayid. Locke tells Boone that the concoction he spread on his head wound was a hallucinogenic that allowed Boone to have his "vision." When he asks Boone how he felt when Shannon died, Boone can't help but give the honest answer… "I felt relieved." Satisfied that Boone has finally learned to let go of Shannon, Locke tells Boone to "follow me." After a final look at his sister, the disciple follows his master back into the woods.

[swcolleen]

I still really think that with the summer season-and lack of fresh shows they could have easily made the decision ahead of time to run the entire season....when they first started they aired a few at 9pm and 10pm I thought...i think i remember at least one week like that-had they done that all summer-they could have done it. They also could have choosen to run a second episdode each week on a different night and they do still have time to run a few "marathon" type nights.

The arguement can be made people might miss them if they are on other nights too-which is true but aren't we missing them anyway now? Why not take the shot we DO get to see them???

it just bugs me....especially with a show like this.

[southerner]

SWCOLLEEN, I wrote them a nasty letter today too. As a new viewer, I'm turned off by this and I don't think it's fair b/c I won't know (or at least have seen for myself) some things that other people have as we start Season 2. See, we missed seeing the monster next week.

I find it hard to believe that they can't find time slots for eight more shows or start Lost a little later next season. Surely, they are showing repeats of some show somewhere, where LOST would be better suited.

We probably won't get our way, but I'm going to keep watching with disappointment. I missed the Boone show, I'm devastated :(

[swcolleen]

Glad to know I am not alone :)

I agree that it was poor plaining on their part-especially with a show like Lost where you really need to see aLL the episodes.

I posted on the ABC boards too and someone shared a link to a site for transcripts of all the espisodes:
http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/lost/

and one they said has links to where to download the episodes. they said you might need to download something else first-i haven't checked them out yet so I can not vouch for any of the sites but I plan to check them out later.

here is the one with links to download (so they say)
http://www.lostlinks.net/

and two other links they provided

Also a FAQ site one of our members Brax made:

http://lostfaq.aimoo.com

The place to see all the screen caps.

http://www.lost-media.com

Hope this helps.

I haven't read any of the re-caps yet for the future missed episodes-i am going to see if I can locate a download first-if not then I will read them.

thanks

[southerner]

I haven't read the recaps yet either. I'm hanging on to hope that they will play them. I don't think I'd download or read the transcripts though. We have computer issues often and its not worth the risk to me. The episode recaps are usually detailed enough for me, so I will read them at some point. Sarahh does have my interest peaked about the jaw dropping revelation :)

[mierin]

I am so irritated by this! You know, I was wondering how they were going to fit all the episodes in before the next season started if they were just showing them once a week. Guess this answers my question. :rolleyes: Thanks, Sarahh, for posting those recaps. I guess it's the next best thing to watching. Grrr! :mad:

[southerner]

mierin you should join the "write ABC a letter club" :D

[mierin]

Oh, consider it written! I'm ticked!!!

[isobel]

We were so pissed off as well. Though my husband finally saw the value of message boards since i was able to come here and confirm it wasn't us, ABC was just sucking it. :rolleyes: There is light at the end of the tunnel though... the first season is being released on DVD on Septemebr 6th. Of course, I know we will not be able to resist watching the episodes up until then.

[southerner]

isobel, good marketing ploy, isn't it?

[swcolleen]

THat what I think-they figure if they tease us enough then we will HAVE to buy the DVD...it just makes me so mad b/c we would buy the DVD set anyway but this is just not right.

[katmg]

I wish that ABC would play the "missing" episodes, but I'm really okay with just having the recaps. *<ducking>* I just want to be caught up when the second season starts!

Thanks for posting the recaps sarah!

[sarahh]

Honestly, I don't think they did it to boost DVD sales.

I think they have committments and airing schedules already set in place. All the people who love to watch Brat Camp (a first run which would take priority over repeats) on Wednesday nights would be mad if they showed Lost repeats instead. Plus, all the people who watch repeats of Hope and Faith, or Extreme Makeover, or Desperate Housewives would be mad if they aired Lost repeats on those nights as well.

I think they are just trying to be fair to the other shows on their network.

[swcolleen]

I think that if they really wanted to-they could have found places to re-play it, the weekly schedule is pretty wide. Plus-they are planning to run some back to backs in a few weeks...and they could have made the DVD release earlier if it wasn't to boost sales. I just think it was poor planning on the programming dept. they know the draw the show has-and they knew it after the first half of the season-with plenty of time to plan ahead on re-airing season one. If they cared about keeping new viewers.....they would have found a way to air it all but by airing it only only partial and release season 1 after teasing us for 12 weeks....odds are more people would buy DVD but if they air them all over, DVD sales may not be needed for people to watch season 2-this way, they will.

Its not like a show such as friends or raymond that can air re-runs out of order all over the place....and DVD sales are a big deal these days.


I am just still so annoyed....part of me still really wants to know what happens and I know I will break down and read or buy to find out but the other part of me doesn't want to support them.

oh welll.....its not like they will actually notice if i am not watching or buying...

[sarahh]

"hearts and minds" really is a special episode, I guess. It has its own bonus feature on the DVD :rolleyes:

Season Two Preview...

Sensational Sneak Preview of Lost
By Ed Martin
What's in Store on Television's Most Talked About Drama

Beverly Hills, CA – From the opening moments of the first episode of its sophomore season, Lost won't waste a minute in providing further information about the major storylines on the show. What's at the bottom of that tunnel? Who are the Others? What the heck is the island all about, anyway?

"Right out of the gate we're addressing some of the big mysteries of the island," Lost co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof tells MediaVillage.com. "We'll go right inside the tunnel, and what you'll see in there changes everything."

Indeed, whatever they discover in that tunnel "will change the fundamental state of existence" of the characters, Lindelof continues. Viewers won't see quick glimpses of strange things but rather will get a good long look around.

"We're erring on the side of giving away too much rather than too little," Lindelof says. "They found that hatch in episode 10. Thirteen episodes later they opened it up. It's got to be good."

What the characters won't find inside, Lindelof promises, are aliens, a time travel portal or "a ship they can blast off in." Whatever is in there will involve those mysterious numbers that led to Hurley's lottery win and streak of bad luck in that character's famous backstory.

"Right from the start, in the season premiere, the numbers become a fundamental plot point for the season," Lindelof says. "People aren't going to be disappointed in how we use them."

He says the producers of the show wanted to make certain that whatever the characters find inside the tunnel will be "great, cool and risky." But, Lindelof cautions, he can "guarantee some people are not going to like what they find in there."

While some characters are exploring the tunnel, others will be dealing with the aftermath of the destruction of the raft and the kidnapping of little Walt by a band of creepy men who are presumed to be among the community of Others on the island.

"Who survives [the raft attack], how they survive, where they end up and how they reconnect with the other characters" will drive the story through the first seven or eight episodes next fall, Lindelof adds.

Lindelof also confirms that the character played by newcomer Michelle Rodriguez will be someone who was seated in the back of the plane when it exploded and has been living on another part of the island. He will not say whether she has been living alone or with other survivors.

He also says that Boone, the one main character who died last season, will definitely stay dead. "So many times in genre shows when you kill someone off they come back. On Lost the rules are different. When you're dead, you're dead!" Lindelof declares.

The other big nagging mysteries in the story – why did Ethan kidnap Claire, what happened to her while she was held prisoner, what if anything happened to her baby – will be addressed later in the season, Lindelof says. "But we have bigger priorities first: The hatch and Walt's kidnapping."

He says the story about the kidnapping of Walt is especially intense, because "a child taken from a parent by strangers is the scariest thing of all." When the Others take Walt, there is no Amber Alert, no Fox News Channel and CNN reporting the story, nowhere for his father to get help. There is only fear, frustration and rage. Early episodes, Lindelof says, will deal with the repercussions of this harrowing incident.

"That is the big mystery of the island," Lindelof explains. "Who are these other people and what do they want?"

Lindelof welcomes ABC's decision to move Lost from 8 to 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday, because more people are available to watch television. He also thinks the show is "very intense" and says, "children should not be watching," which they are apt to do at an earlier hour.

"By the finale of season two viewers will know why the plane crashed," Lindelof says. He envisions Lost running "somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 seasons."

"I know what the ending [of the story] is," he concludes. "At a certain point you can only stall [the audience] so long."

[Katy]

wow :eek:

[southerner]

I started a Lost Season Two thread for those of y'all who already know how the season evolves. Though tempting, I've avoided most of the spoilers. I'm excited to watch it next season even though I won't have the advantage that y'all do to have seen all of people's backstories. J

Just don't mind my questions the whole season when I don't know something :D

[sarahh]

I was just planning on turning this thread into a Season 1-Season 2 thread when the time came. I thought I changed the name to Lost Season One and Season Two, but now that I look I think I just changed the subject name of the first post.

Anyways...I figured it would cut down on duplicate posts by just having one Lost thread?

[southerner]

thanks ladies! I hope y'all still pop in here to provide guidance for us rookies :)

[jen]

Just curious if anyone has heard about the price of the Lost Season One DVD?

It's on Amazon for $39, but says it retails for $59. Do you think this is an early bird price, and in fact once it is released we won't find it for less than $59? Or is there a chance we'll find it for less than $39?

My bargain hunter instinct is kicking in.... anyone have price info?

thanks!

[sarahh]

I'm pretty sure Target will have it on sale for the 1st week. They always have good prices on DVDs the first week they are out.

[southerner]

great episode tonight. The Walt Michael story is sad though.

That was Claire who came out of the bushes at the end, right?

[katmg]

Yes, I believe that was Claire.

[mierin]

That episode broke my heart last night. I thought it was kind of a nice change that this was just a simple story. Everyone else seems to have these complicated these and fantastic stories and this really just boiled down to a man who lost his son.

Did anyone else think that polar bear was so poorly animated as to be comical? I was trying not to laugh during that whole scene.

[southerner]

the polar bear was a bit comical, ITA!

I wonder what episodes we are still going to miss??

Last night I didn't feel like there were as many "holes" as there were after we missed an episode last week. Or maybe it was because I was prepared this week by knowing that I missed two episodes before the show started. I broke down and read the episode guides sarahh posted above. Any LOST veterans feel differently about Boone after the show about him and Shannon? It's hard to pinpoint, but I was not all goo-goo-gah-gah over him last night like I usually am. I think I look at him differently knowing about his "escapade" with Shannon. In one way, I think I'm kinda glad I didn't see that episode b/c I like obsessing over him :D

[southerner]

anyone know what tonight's show is about?

[sarahh]

www.abc.com says....Next Episode:
Wednesday, August 17 at 10/9c
"Outlaws"
Kate and Sawyer divulge dark secrets to each other while tracking a renegade boar that Sawyer swears is purposely harassing him. Meanwhile, Hurley and Sayid worry that Charlie is losing it after his brush with death, and a shocking, prior connection between Sawyer and Jack is revealed.

[southerner]

Charlie's brush with death? Meaning when he got trapped in the cave, right? I don't know if we're missing another episode or not!

Should be interesting to see how Sawyer and Charlie are linked in the past, hmmm....

Thanks Sarahh

[mierin]

Charlie's brush with death? Meaning when he got trapped in the cave, right?
I think they're talking about when he nearly got hanged by the crazy man who took Claire and Jack brought him back to life. He did get trapped in the cave too, tough. Geez, he's had a tough couple of months!

I can't wait to see what Jack and Sawyer have in common! They hate each other so much.

[southerner]

mierin, I just noticed you live on the South Shore. DH and I just moved from there after six years. What part do you live in?

[mierin]

I'm in Quincy, right near the Quincy Adams T. Where were you guys? I love meeting other Boston people!

[southerner]

We lived in Plymouth. I worked in Braintree, near where you live actually and DH worked in Hanover. I miss it terribly :(

[mel7dog]

Just to jump in on the hijak, I grew up in Plymouth! One crazy tourist trap town! Then I went to college in SC and never moved back home, I like being a mix of northen and southern :D

Oh yes, and I can't wait for Lost tonight!

[southerner]

So, that's weird shit! mel7dog you grew up in Plymouth?!!?? You graduated high school from there? Where in NC are you? Small ass world, I tell ya :D

Okay, so I'm kind of confused about the show tonight. We missed another episode, didn't we? Did they make one of Chalrie stabbing Ethan to death??? I'm trying to avoid finding out ALL the spoilers from Season One, but I guess I'll need to know them in order to understand Season Two that starts soon :(

Wonder how many episodes we are going to miss?

That creeped me out that Sawyer met Jack's Dad at a bar and now he knows it. Kate killed a man? We missed an episode about that too! Argh!!!!!

[Sazoo]

hi ladies! I'm not ready to read this thread yet b/c I was hoping I'd get to see MOST of Season One before I "caught up" for Season Two.

Will you please help a confsued LOST rookie understand what's going on. Did Sawyer kill the wrong guy? Do we know who Kate killed? It's hard to miss some episodes and I don't want to read any spoilers yet. It's odd that I haven't yet. I'm usually a sucke for them!!

Will you pop back into the Season One thread and help, pretty please?? :D

Yes, Sawyer killed the wrong guy. He found out it was the wrong guy after he killed him, I believe. As for who Kate killed...yes those of us who have already seen Season One know what that's about, but I don't think they've shown that episode yet this summer so I won't spoil it for ya. ;)

[Sazoo]

Okay, so I'm kind of confused about the show tonight. We missed another episode, didn't we? Did they make one of Chalrie stabbing Ethan to death???

Yes, there was an episode where a group of people went off hunting Ethan & it ended with Charlie shooting him. I haven't been watching the show every week this summer so I don't know if that is an episode they've shown already or if it got skipped, but if Ethan was dead as of the episode you saw tonight, it is because Charlie killed him. The other people had him cornered & wanted to keep him alive to ask him questions about who he is, etc. but Charlie came out of the woods all of the sudden & shot him several times.

[southerner]

thanks Sazoo :D

I THINK bewtween last week's episode and last night's episode, they did skip episodes again :( Charlie had already killed Ethan and we haven't seen that episode this summer. Also, Kate and Sawyer played "I Never" and she drank :rolleyes: hen he said "I've never killed a man." So I don't know if we missed that episode or not also.

I think they still have to skip more episodes in order to have us caught up by the time Season Two starts. I hope it won't be hard to follow w/o seing all of Season One :confused:

[sarahh]

thanks Sazoo :D

I THINK bewtween last week's episode and last night's episode, they did skip episodes again :( Yes, they did skip episodes between last weeks and this weeks, they skipped two. I posted the episode recaps for "Whatever the Case May Be" and "Hearts and Minds" back a few pages. Click here to read them! (http://www.constantchatter.com/showthread.php?p=98482#post98482) Those are the two episodes you missed between last weeks and this weeks.

[mierin]

I'm going to have to buy the DVD of season one just to sort this all out. I'm so confused! I think this whole thing is a ploy to get people to buy the DVD. :rolleyes:

(Yay! Boston people! I can't believe everyone moved away. :D )

[mrs_pell]

Yes, they did skip episodes between last weeks and this weeks, they skipped two. I posted the episode recaps for "Whatever the Case May Be" and "Hearts and Minds" back a few pages. Click here to read them! (http://www.constantchatter.com/showthread.php?p=98482#post98482) Those are the two episodes you missed between last weeks and this weeks.

Actually, I think the ones you posted were the ones we missed before last week's episode. We also missed at least one between last week and this week, with Claire's return, loss of memory, and Charlie killing Ethan. That recap hasn't been posted yet (at least I didn't see it). I read it on ABC's website.

[mel7dog]

Yes we only missed one episode between this week and last. I usually go on the ABC website a little while before the show, see what epiosde is being aired that night, they read up on any they have skipped.

Here is the one we missed:
Charlie's eye opens as he is roused from sleep by the sounds of people springing into action around him. He wipes the sleep from his eyes and gets to his feet, but before he can ask what all the commotion is about, we get the answer. Through the brush comes Locke…and he's holding Claire in his arms! Charlie can't believe it and he fights through the crowd of castaways to be by her side. Jack has her now and he is gently trying to get her to regain consciousness. Charlie asks the question we all want answered: Is she alive? And for just a second, we're afraid the answer is "no," but then Claire wakes up and starts to scream. Jack calms her down, tells her it will be all right. She's safe now -- back where she belongs. Claire's response is enough to knock us off our feet… "Who are you?"

Later, Charlie finds Claire alone and confused and tries to connect with her by telling her that Ethan kidnapped him as well and nearly killed him. Claire asks who Ethan is and Charlie tells her all she needs to know. "He's a bad guy."

We FLASHBACK to Charlie in the pub with his "mate," Tommy. These are strange days for Charlie - - DRIVESHAFT has broken up, but he is having an awfully hard time letting go. Still, he can get by just fine…as long as he can stay stoned. But Charlie is just about broke now and that's where Tommy comes in. He has a plan: Charlie uses whatever celebrity he has left to charm his way into the life (and home) of Lucy, a frumpy, but very rich girl that Tommy has handpicked for just this purpose. If Charlie had a conscience, he sniffed it up his nose a long time ago. He finishes his pint and goes in for the kill.

Back on the island, Charlie hooks up with Jin for the walk back from the caves to the beach - - "safety in numbers, right?" Wrong. Jin is knocked out by a flying rock and before Charlie can figure out what is happening, he is face to face with Ethan. Charlie tries to attack him, but Ethan easily pins Charlie against a tree and delivers his demand: Bring Claire to this spot before sundown…or Ethan will kill one of them every day until he does.

Jack, Locke, Sayid and Charlie discuss what to do. What if Ethan is still out there? What if he tries something like this again? Charlie and Jack want to organize a hunting party to try and capture him, but Sayid and Locke disagree in favor of building up the camp's defenses. Reluctantly, Jack and Charlie go along with the plan.

Meanwhile, Claire asks Charlie why everyone is acting so nervous, especially around her. Charlie can't bring himself to tell her about Ethan and lies, saying everything is okay.

We FLASHBACK to Charlie once more as Lucy shows him around her very posh home. They enjoy an easy banter and, as Lucy goes for tea, Charlie cases the joint. Lots to steal here…this will do just fine. When Lucy invites Charlie to dinner with her father later that week he is only too happy to accept.

Back on the island, Kate goes to see Jack. She heard about what happened with Ethan and wants to use the guns from the Marshal's case for protection, but Jack won't have it. Putting guns in untrained hands is more dangerous than helpful.

Instead, they've decided to rig an alarm system that Locke has invented out of empty cans and homemade tripwires. They post sentries with spears around the perimeter of the camp. They will stay on guard all night and sleep in shifts.

Charlie tells Jack that he is afraid for Claire. He wants to move her to a new location, one that is more secure. When Jack tells him to try and relax, Charlie confesses that he blames himself for allowing Claire to be taken - - he should have fought harder for her. Jack puts a hand on his shoulder and promises that nothing will happen to her again.

FLASHBACK to Charlie seated at a posh dining table. Charlie, Lucy and her father enjoy their meal. When Lucy's father talks about how he was in a band that failed and Lucy beams at him from across the table, something unexpected starts to happen - - Charlie is actually bonding with this man. And damned if he isn't growing genuinely fond of Lucy as well.

Later, Charlie is back at the pub with Tommy. He tells Tommy that he doesn't want to go through with the theft and that he has decided to try and go straight -- He even accepted a job selling copy machines for Lucy's father. But Tommy won't have it; Charlie has been running up quite a tab partying on Tommy's smack and if he wants the party to continue he needs to swipe something he can sell for cash…NOW! And if Charlie doesn't like the idea now, let's see how he feels after Tommy cuts off his drug supple for a few days.

Back on the island that night, Boone is on sentry detail. As the torches burn on the perimeter, and the waves gently crash against the shore, he struggles to keep his eyes open -- listening for the sound of the tripwire and the cans. Maybe he can rest his eyes for one brief second? Surely he's got that long to…BANG! Boone opens his eyes, its morning! Oh no, how long was he asleep? He goes off, spear at the ready to investigate, but the only intruder he finds is Vincent, the dog. But just as he is letting himself off the hook we hear a SCREAM from down by the water. Oh my God…one of the castaways is dead. And whatever killed him, it wasn't an accident.

As the castaways bury one of their own, Claire again starts to feel people looking at her. Some look with pity, but some look with (is that contempt?) something else. Finally she can't take it anymore and asks Shannon why she is staring at her. Shannon is shocked… "You mean nobody has told you?"

Claire confronts Charlie, furious that he lied to her when she asked him what was going on earlier. Charlie says that he just wanted to take care of her, but she isn't interested.

FLASHBACK to Charlie adjusting the tie on the brand new suit that Lucy has bought him for his first day of work tomorrow. He is coming down off a very long bender and doesn't look so good, but when Lucy asks him about it he blames it on "nerves." When she is out of the room, Charlie swipes a jeweled cigarette case and places it in his pocket.

Jack and Locke discuss their options. They can't keep waiting around for Ethan to kill them one by one, but he has the advantage of the terrain. Jack says he has something that will help even the odds and gives Locke one of the 9mm guns from the case. They enlist Sawyer and Sayid as well and even Kate gets in on the team when they realize they have another gun (the one from the Marshal's holster). Charlie is desperate to go with them, but he simply isn't qualified. He leaves feeling frustrated and useless.

We FLASHBACK once more to Charlie in the middle of his sales call. It is a disaster and poor Charlie ends up throwing up all over the boardroom.

Back on the island, Claire has decided that she isn't going to let anyone else die for her and she agrees to act as bait in order to try and capture Ethan. Jack, Kate, Sayid, Locke and Sawyer lie in wait until Ethan makes his move and then Jack POUNCES on Ethan, losing his gun in the tussle. They go back and forth in a vicious fight and Jack shows a side of himself we haven't yet seen. He beats Ethan into submission and the others arrive with their guns to ensure he doesn't get away. Now, it's time to get some answers, but Ethan is shot several times from off screen. We reveal Charlie who followed the team out on their "hunt" and picked up Jack's gun when he lost it in the fight. As Ethan dies all hopes of an interrogation are lost.

Back at camp Jack asks Charlie why he did it. Charlie tells us that he wasn't going to let that animal get near Claire ever again. And there's one more thing -- "He deserved it."

We FLASHBACK to see Charlie pounding on a door. When it finally opens, Lucy gives Charlie exactly what he deserves -- her contempt. All she wants to know is, if all Charlie wanted was to rob her, why did he take the job? Charlie tells her he wanted to show her that he could be respectable…that he could take care of her. What she says in return has obviously stayed with Charlie a long, long time: "You'll never take care of anyone."

Back at camp, the castaways are returning to their version of calm. The only person who feels more alone than Charlie is Claire, and when she tells Charlie that she remembers peanut butter, it's enough to sustain him for another day at least. As he allows the first smile in a long time to cross his face, he takes the first step toward rebuilding their friendship. "It was imaginary peanut butter, actually."


I am bummed they have been skipping like this, but if you read up before the current week it's not too bad. I'm hoping once the new season starts they will give us a little recap of the important happenings.

[sarahh]

Actually, I think the ones you posted were the ones we missed before last week's episode. We also missed at least one between last week and this week, with Claire's return, loss of memory, and Charlie killing Ethan. That recap hasn't been posted yet (at least I didn't see it). I read it on ABC's website.
Sorry...I'm a little behind. I'm not watching the re-runs, so I'm not following the order as closely.

So...last week you saw the Michael episode? And this week you saw the second Sawyer episode?

If that is the case then, yes, they did skip another episode. Episode #15 "Homecoming" a Charlie-centric show.1x15: Homecoming
A CHARLIE Episode




Season 1: Episode 15 - "Homecoming"
02/09/2005



Charlie's eye opens as he is roused from sleep by the sounds of people springing into action around him. He wipes the sleep from his eyes and gets to his feet, but before he can ask what all the commotion is about, we get the answer. Through the brush comes Locke…and he's holding Claire in his arms! Charlie can't believe it and he fights through the crowd of castaways to be by her side. Jack has her now and he is gently trying to get her to regain consciousness. Charlie asks the question we all want answered: Is she alive? And for just a second, we're afraid the answer is "no," but then Claire wakes up and starts to scream. Jack calms her down, tells her it will be all right. She's safe now -- back where she belongs. Claire's response is enough to knock us off our feet… "Who are you?" Later, Charlie finds Claire alone and confused and tries to connect with her by telling her that Ethan kidnapped him as well and nearly killed him. Claire asks who Ethan is and Charlie tells her all she needs to know. "He's a bad guy." We FLASHBACK to Charlie in the pub with his "mate," Tommy. These are strange days for Charlie - - DRIVESHAFT has broken up, but he is having an awfully hard time letting go. Still, he can get by just fine…as long as he can stay stoned. But Charlie is just about broke now and that's where Tommy comes in. He has a plan: Charlie uses whatever celebrity he has left to charm his way into the life (and home) of Lucy, a frumpy, but very rich girl that Tommy has handpicked for just this purpose. If Charlie had a conscience, he sniffed it up his nose a long time ago. He finishes his pint and goes in for the kill. Back on the island, Charlie hooks up with Jin for the walk back from the caves to the beach - - "safety in numbers, right?" Wrong. Jin is knocked out by a flying rock and before Charlie can figure out what is happening, he is face to face with Ethan. Charlie tries to attack him, but Ethan easily pins Charlie against a tree and delivers his demand: Bring Claire to this spot before sundown…or Ethan will kill one of them every day until he does. Jack, Locke, Sayid and Charlie discuss what to do. What if Ethan is still out there? What if he tries something like this again? Charlie and Jack want to organize a hunting party to try and capture him, but Sayid and Locke disagree in favor of building up the camp's defenses. Reluctantly, Jack and Charlie go along with the plan. Meanwhile, Claire asks Charlie why everyone is acting so nervous, especially around her. Charlie can't bring himself to tell her about Ethan and lies, saying everything is okay. We FLASHBACK to Charlie once more as Lucy shows him around her very posh home. They enjoy an easy banter and, as Lucy goes for tea, Charlie cases the joint. Lots to steal here…this will do just fine. When Lucy invites Charlie to dinner with her father later that week he is only too happy to accept. Back on the island, Kate goes to see Jack. She heard about what happened with Ethan and wants to use the guns from the Marshal's case for protection, but Jack won't have it. Putting guns in untrained hands is more dangerous than helpful. Instead, they've decided to rig an alarm system that Locke has invented out of empty cans and homemade tripwires. They post sentries with spears around the perimeter of the camp. They will stay on guard all night and sleep in shifts. Charlie tells Jack that he is afraid for Claire. He wants to move her to a new location, one that is more secure. When Jack tells him to try and relax, Charlie confesses that he blames himself for allowing Claire to be taken - - he should have fought harder for her. Jack puts a hand on his shoulder and promises that nothing will happen to her again. FLASHBACK to Charlie seated at a posh dining table. Charlie, Lucy and her father enjoy their meal.

And if Charlie doesn't like the idea now, let's see how he feels after Tommy cuts off his drug supple for a few days. Back on the island that night, Boone is on sentry detail. As the torches burn on the perimeter, and the waves gently crash against the shore, he struggles to keep his eyes open -- listening for the sound of the tripwire and the cans. Maybe he can rest his eyes for one brief second? Surely he's got that long to…BANG! Boone opens his eyes, its morning! Oh no, how long was he asleep? He goes off, spear at the ready to investigate, but the only intruder he finds is Vincent, the dog. But just as he is letting himself off the hook we hear a SCREAM from down by the water.

[sarahh]

Looks like we posted at the same time Melissa! ;)

[southerner]

yes, that it! Thanks y'all!

I don't want to go to the ABC webiste b/c I don't want to click the wrong episode and read about one they are going to show in the future. Mel7dog , is that easy to fire out on the ABC website? Do you know if they are skipping another one next week.

No more smile with dimples for Kaysar, huh, sarahh?

[southerner]

Anyone know if we are going to miss MORE episodes netween last week's and tomorrow nights show??? What's it about this week? I don't want to go to the ABC webiste, I'm afraid I might read something I don't want to. I can't believe I've done this good not reading any spoilers. It's makes it so much more fun to think about and hypothesize that way. I'm proud of me :D

thanks sarahh :D

Reposted from Season Two thread...

:rolleyes: Writer Sues 'Lost' Producers
A writer is suing the bosses of hit TV drama Lost, alleging the show's creators stole his idea. Anthony Spinner filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, accusing the TV network ABC and producers Touchstone Television of breach of contract and fraud and is seeking unspecified damages. Spinner alleges he was hired by Sid Krofft and Marty Krofft Productions in 1977 to write, produce and direct a program called Lost, a drama about a group of plane crash survivors living on a desert island, which is inhabited by mysterious creatures. The complaint claims "the plaintiff has a right to payment and a right to royalties from ABC and Touchstone as a result of their profit". The ABC show first hit TV screens last year and is up for twelve Emmy awards at next month's ceremony.

[mrs_pell]

Well, my goodness, he had, oh...TWENTY SEVEN years to do it! Why haven't we already had this show?

:rolleyes:

[southerner]

so, what the hell is in the watches Jin has????? Now it makes sense why he freaked out so much when he thought Michael stole it! Hmmmm........

So, Walt does have some weird powers, as does Locke...no wonder they're drawn to each other.

I don't like Sayid with Shannon!!

They showed TONS of "previews" for next season tonight, didn't they?

I'm glad they are playing two episodes next week. They should have been doing that all along. Maybe we won't miss anymore!!!

I can't wait to learn about Hurley, he's awesome!

[Sazoo]

I can't wait to learn about Hurley, he's awesome!

OOOH, are they finally gonna show Hurley's backstory next week for you guys? Yipee, I've been waiting for them to get to that one all summer! Get ready for your minds to start spinning super fast from that episode on (IMO) because there's something that comes up in that episode that will show up again & again & again for the rest of the season. ;)

[southerner]

Sazoo Can't wait.....thanks for the heads up :D

[mierin]

I don't like Sayid with Shannon!!
I thought it was kind of hot. :o Then again, I think Sayid is just about the hottest thing on television. :D

I'm still watching, but I've almost given up. I've just resigned myself to the fact that I'm buying season one on DVD because the gaps in my knowledge are driving me insane. Even reading recaps, I feel like I haven't really experienced it, if that makes sense. I am, however, looking forward to Hurley's story. I love Hurley. He looks so cuddley. :)

[stevesbabygirl]

southerner, Jin was supposed to deliver the watch to someone in Los Angeles for Sun's father, I guess as part of that whole mafia thing they have going on. That's why he was so upset when he saw Michael with it. I couldn't tell by your second sentence if that was clarified or not, so I thought I'd say it anyway :).

[sarahh]

Info on Evangeline (Kate) and Dom (Charlie)...People magazine notes that Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan -- chums on and off the "Lost" TV set -- have dodged questions about a romance for months.

Now, People reports Monaghan says "they were in love and that he hasn't felt this way about anyone before." He says it's serious but he's taking it slow. I know this was part of the rumor mill earlier this year, but thought I would post this tiny update.

[southerner]

:eek: i never heard that??? :eek:

any pictures exist, Miss Sarah??

By the way, does the Season Two thread have spoilers posted in it? Or do people mark that they are posting a spoiler so if I want to skip it I can?? :eek: I'm thinking I like watching a show such as this w/o knowing what's going to happen. I love hypothesizing....

[sarahh]

There are some things marked in there as spoilers...but you have to be careful!! I am pretty sure anything that happened in Season 1 is not marked as a spoiler and anything relating to Season 2 is marked as spoiler.

[sarahh]

any pictures exist, Miss Sarah??Kind of....they are all from appearances, no papparazzi photos. You can see the connection though.

it amazes me that you know where to find this stuff :p they actually look good together in all those photos. I thought shs was older than 25!

Guess I'll wait until Season Two starts to post in that other thread. I can't believe I missed this show the first time around :rolleyes:

[southerner]

YEAH!!!! Two episodes tonight, enjoy ladies!

[mel7dog]

Do they skip any tonight, do we need to read up?

[mrs_pell]

VERY nice pictures!! :eek: And, I don't think they're skipping any episodes for the remainder of the season (at least that's what I think I read earlier!).

[mel7dog]

Bummer, looks like there is a "Special Report" episode on next instead of another Lost. And I was enjoying tonight so much :)

[mrs_pell]

I know. I kept thinking that the "special report" was just going to be like a 5 minute thing or something and then Lost would be back on. Then I looked on the guide and saw we were only getting the one. :( But, as much as I was looking forward to the 2nd one, I guess it just really doesn't matter right now.

Maybe they'll show 2 next week? Tonight's was awesome!!

[Sazoo]

Tonight's was awesome!!

Which episode did they show tonight? It hasn't started here yet...is it the one about Hurley's backstory?

[mrs_pell]

Which episode did they show tonight? It hasn't started here yet...is it the one about Hurley's backstory?

Yep...and it was very good.

[mel7dog]

Darn, that was a great episode, but I had bad dreams and was awake being freaked out half of the night :rolleyes:

[southerner]

Sometimes this show gets to me too. It's like I watch and want some answers and I end up having more questions :rolleyes:

[Sazoo]

*I love Hurley's episode - so glad they finally got to it!!*

Watch every episode closely from here to the rest of the season...virtually everything shown or mentioned that involves numbers will include Hurley's "cursed" numbers! You'd notice it if you went back & re-watched the first half of the season too...it's amazing how they fit those #'s into every little thing. :eek:

[mel7dog]

I was just thinking that Sazoo! Maybe all the characters have those number incorrperated in their lives?! OOOhh this is so crazy!!

As long as no one objects, I would love to know if we have missed the same cursed numbers in any past episodes or anyone's life stories? Doubt I'll have time to watch the whole 1st season before #2 starts, so update us PLEASE!!!

eta: what are the numbers again? AHH I am freaked just thinking about them!

[sdianems]

I love the Hurley backstory.....very cool and fitting for him!
And did you know that the name of the game the guy in the asylum was playing (when Hurley confronted him about the numbers) is Connect 4!

Love the way these writers think!

[mel7dog]

I love the Hurley backstory.....very cool and fitting for him!
And did you know that the name of the game the guy in the asylum was playing (when Hurley confronted him about the numbers) is Connect 4!

Love the way these writers think!

I'm terrible w/clues, how does Connect 4 relate?

[sarahh]

I'm terrible w/clues, how does Connect 4 relate?The sequence of numbers is 4,8,15,16,23,42. Connect Four has the number 4 in it. One of the cursed numbers! ;)

[southerner]

what? I don't get it! So, it's kind of like a "fate" thing that all these people who have something to do with some of the numbers ended up on the island together?? Huh?

And how do y'all know that? They reveal it later in the season? Or you have figured it out yourselves? Since the new eps. start in three weeks, I hope we get to see the rest of Season One.

Also, I was thinking about what the man in the asylum said last night...something about unlocking the box....I thought maybe that was the hatch he was talking about?? Maybe he was trapped in there at one point??? I don't know...just a thought....

[mel7dog]

what? I don't get it! So, it's kind of like a "fate" thing that all these people who have something to do with some of the numbers ended up on the island together?? Huh?

Yes, this is my take on the whole show. Mostly from seeing the previews from next season!

I *think* we have seen some of the numbers in the stories of the others, but just don't know it yet. Someone please TELL US if we have missed any #'s, I am so excited about this now!!

Ohhh what exactly did the man say about unlocking the box?? Hmm...!

[mel7dog]

Here is the quote of what Leonard said:

Leonard stops on a dime. Even he can't believe what he has just heard. "You've opened the box," he says, "It won't stop. You've got to get away from them or it won't stop!" When Hurley asks Leonard where he got the numbers, he tells him that someone named, "Sam Toomey" heard them when they were working one year in Kalgoorlie…Australia.

eta: according to the website, we are also going to miss episodes 19, 21, 22.

Next week they are playing "Do no Harm" at 9 (Episode 20) and Exodus 1 at 10 (episode 23)

[Sazoo]

As long as no one objects, I would love to know if we have missed the same cursed numbers in any past episodes or anyone's life stories? Doubt I'll have time to watch the whole 1st season before #2 starts, so update us PLEASE!!!

eta: what are the numbers again? AHH I am freaked just thinking about them!

The numbers are:

4 8 15 23 42

Off the top of my head, here are some times the #'s have shown up so far in the season (up to the point where you guys have seen, anyway - I won't mention anything else you'll see in future episodes from season one):

*They were on Oceanic Flight 815
*The #'s are written on the side of the hatch on the island
*The french woman & her crew came to the island after hearing the #'s on the radio frequency
*8 people died in a fire at the shoe factory Hurley used to own
*The model # of the copy machine Charlie was selling was 815
*Walt's birthday is in August (8th month)...I missed the exact date, but I'll bet it was the 4th or 15th or 23rd) ;)

There have probably been other references to the #'s so far this season that I've either missed or forgotten about...but there will definitely be more of them from now on. :) It's so crazy!

[southerner]

like maybe the amount of money Kate stole? The number of times Sawyer shot that man? The number of years Walt was away from his father? How old his mother was when she died? Date Claire got pregnant? Date the plane crashed? I'm just thinking of all the possible ways numbers could have been used this season.

And don't forget Walt has weird powers!!!

I'm so glad we don't have to wait all summer to find out...

[Sazoo]

I forgot one - the reward for capturing Kate was $23,000!

[sarahh]

Spoiler about the numbers...

The Numbers

The numbers are: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
The numbers were originally being transmitted from the Black Rock Radio Tower until Rousseau changed the transmission to her distress signal
Hurley used the numbers to win the lottery
Sam Toomey (a non-island character) used the numbers to win a bean count
The numbers appeared on the side of the hatch that Locke & Boone discovered
Rousseau wrote the numbers on her map seven times
Instances of the numbers are too numerous to list here, but there is a great collection of the uses of 4,8,15,16,23,42 at http://thenumbers.greatestjournal.com/ This link will have many spoilers for the rest of the season Source: Michael Hanttula's Lost Notebook

[southerner]

Hmmm.....

not where I thought the story was going to go at all.....

[mel7dog]

The complete first season of LOST was released on DVD today! :)

Amazon.com is selling it for $38.99 (with free shipping). I don't know what price other retailers are charging. I pre-ordered it from Amazon last week & just got an email that they shipped it out today. Yay!

[mel7dog]

I am renting Season 1 off Blockbuster. I will be watching like crazy untill Season 2 starts :)

[southerner]

I don't know when or how, but I need to see ALL of Season One before Season Two starts. I feel like there are a lot of holes in the story for me.

Blockbuster might be my quickest (and most affordable) option at this point. I won't need to rent all the episodes....

[sarahh]

You still have two weeks...you could definitely get caught up by then! Just watch 5 or 6 episodes each Saturday and Sunday for the next two weekends! ;) If you want to watch the entire season.

[KristyK]

Ok ladies, I have avoided this thread, and the one (over there) since last year, when I missed the first episode, and then several others. I always wanted to be part of the fun! :( So, today I went and bought the DVD of the entire season, so when the fun starts this year, I can be there!!! I'm soooooo excited! I made sure DH hooked up the DVD player in my craft room and I plan to start watching tonite! Wish me luck that I get them all in before the season 2 starts! WoooHOoo, I'm excited!! :D

[mel7dog]

You still have two weeks...you could definitely get caught up by then! Just watch 5 or 6 episodes each Saturday and Sunday for the next two weekends! ;) If you want to watch the entire season.

There are 24 episodes, so I plan on watching one each night and more on the weekends :) Too bad they are on high demand on blockbuster, so it may take time to get them. wonder if it's worth paying the $39 on amazon, would I ever watch them again though, that's the question. I love LOST but I'm not sure if it's a show you'd watch over and over like Sex and the City!

Input?

[southerner]

mel7dog I was thinking the same thing (about not buying the DVD b/c I don't think I'd watch it more than once). So for now my fingers are crossed that Blockbuster or Hollywood Video will help me out. Plus, I only want to see the few episodes we've missed this Season. I'm just kicking myslef for not catching this show the first time around.

I can't wait to go post in the Season Two thread :p

[mel7dog]

southerner Ok you've convinced me to save my dough! Besides if we aren't able to rent we can always re read the story on the site!

[southerner]

yes we could always read it and luckily for us the episode guides on ABC are VERY detailed (in fact, more details than most other sites provide)

[mel7dog]

eta: according to the website, we are also going to miss episodes 19, 21, 22.
Next week they are playing "Do no Harm" at 9 (Episode 20) and Exodus 1 at 10 (episode 23)

Everyone be sure to read up on those episodes! Episode 19 is a goodie! I am not sure when I am going to read 21 and 22. It would be good to see 20 first, but those descriptions are long and need more than a commercial break to read
:rolleyes:

[southerner]

I rented the last two discs today, so I'm gonna watch like a madwoman to get caught up by next week. They are skipping like 5 or 6 episodes from now until the end :rolleyes:

Then, bring on Season Two!!!!

[sarahh]

They are skipping only two episodes between now and start of Season 1.

Tonight
"Do No Harm" #20
"Exodus, Part One" #23
*So you'll miss #21 (Sayid) and #22 (Kate) between tonights two shows.

Next Wednesday
"Exodus, Part Two" #24 (2 hours)

Click here (http://www.lost-media.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=list_pages_categories&cid=1) for a listing, in order, of all 24 episodes.

Off to dive into the Season One Bonus DVD!! :D Just bought it at Best Buy today!

[southerner]

I went through and figured out which episode we've missed this summer. here they are listed in one nice and neat place. We missed 7 out of the 24, could be worse, I guess.

Episode 10 "Raised by Another" (Claire)
Episode 12 "Whatever the Case May Be" (Kate)
Epsiode 13 "Hearts and Minds" (Boone and Shannon)
Episode 15 "Homecoming" (Charlie)
Episode 19 "Deux Ex Machina" (Locke)
Episode 21 "The Greater Good" (Sayid)
Episode 22 "Born to Run" (Kate)

Okay, so I was off, we're missing three shows between now and start of Season Two (#19, 21 and 22).

[southerner]

Just finished watching episode 19 about Locke :eek:

Is my hottie, Boone, going to be alright?? Surely, they don't kill off a main character?????

[Katy]

Just out of curiousity, will this thread be closed down once the new season starts? I'd assume that even for those that aren't watching season 1 until they get the DVDs, that they'll also be watching season 2 from the start. Or am I totally off here?

[sarahh]

I think it's a good idea to lock this one when Season Two starts, which is September 21st.

[Katy]

okay, just remember to PM me then as I'm no longer subscribed to this thread (and just happen to be WIDE awake at 3:30 AM!)

[mel7dog]

I don't really care either way, but why would we lock this thread when the new season starts? What's the advantage? Thanks!

Last nights episodes were AMAZING! I already knew Boone was going to die (tv interview) but there were some really emotional parts. When Sawyer told Jack about his Dad, when Claire gave birth, when Shannon is morning Boone, when Walt gave Shannon Vincent, Sun and Jin goodbye, I was in TEARS! I LOVE this show more than ever! Maybe I will buy it on DVD, it really is amazing!

Did anyone notice more of the numbers last night? I noticed the clock read 5:23 when Walt was watching power rangers. I know there were a few more, but I forget them now.

I was surprised by the "black rock", it was an old ship! I am really wondering who "the other's" are as well. Can't wait to next week!

[Sazoo]

I don't really care either way, but why would we lock this thread when the new season starts? What's the advantage? Thanks!
I was going to ask the same question. Probably once the second season starts people will start posting in the season two thread & this one will sort of die out...but what is the point of actually locking this thread so people can't post here if they want to discuss season one still for some reason? :confused: For example, if someone wants to post something about the season one DVDs...where are they supposed to post it if this thread is locked? In the season two thread?

I just don't get the reasoning for locking threads like this, I guess, but oh well. I'm subscribed to both threads, & while I'll definitely be following the season two thread once the show starts up again in a few weeks, I'd still come here to read other people's thoughts on season one if they wanted to keep writing in this thread as well. *shrug*

[sarahh]

Couldn't the Season Two thread act as a thread for Seaons One and Two? Since by then we will all be on the same page?

[Sazoo]

Sure. Maybe we could have a mod change the title of the season two thread so it is more generic (i.e. not season-specific) for the show, & then just let this thread die out as we all move over there this fall?

[mel7dog]

Just bought season 1 today!!

Only $37.99 at Target, that's the cheapest I've seen yet! For the next two weeks I will be watching only LOST :)

[Bbbethie]

I had pre-ordered season one from Amazon and even with the free shipping, I received the set today. DH is going to be so excited to catch up on the missed episodes this weekend!

[sarahh]

I bought my copy at Best Buy for 39.99 AND it came with a bonus DVD you can only get at Best Buy!

[Bbbethie]

What's on the bonus DVD?

[sarahh]

From the Best Buy website...Bonus disc features:

* 43-minute "Lost Journeys" episode
* "Flashbacks & Mythology" — a new minidocumentary that explores the stories and storytelling methods of the show
* "Lost: On Location" — two additional behind-the-scenes featurettes for "White Rabbit" and "The Moth".

[southerner]

OMG!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

I finished watching the rest of the episodes. I can't believe they shot Sawyer. I'm assuming he's dead now?? He looked hot when he was cutting lumber.

I'm dying to know what's the deal with that watch Jin has.

Maybe those people (I think they are "the others") took Walt b/c he has special powers. He was the boy they were coming to get, right?

So many unanswered questions.....I don't want to read Spoilers, is the Season Two thread safe to go in? Are the spoilers marked accordingly?

[southerner]

the bonus feature cd has some cool stuff on it.

I never would have put two and two together to realize that the polar bear that tried to attack Walt is the same one that was pictured in his comic book he was reading in a flashback.

Little things like that the writers slipped in there are brilliant!!!

[mel7dog]

spreaking of spoilers... I read this post before I saw the warning! Darn!

Oh well I only have missed that one final episode anyhow.

I spent the day watching Lost and being lazy. I finished the first two DVD's and have re watched Episodes 1-8. Wowy I still have a lot to go for all 24!

Think I will go ahead and watch #24 now since I am curious...

[mel7dog]

the bonus feature cd has some cool stuff on it.

I never would have put two and two together to realize that the polar bear that tried to attack Michael is the same one that was pictured in his comic book he was reading in a flashback.

Little things like that the writers slipped in there are brilliant!!!

I just noticed that when I was re-watching the first episodes, guess episode 24 will tell me more!

[sarahh]

So many unanswered questions.....I don't want to read Spoilers, is the Season Two thread safe to go in? Are the spoilers marked accordingly?Yes...most...if not all of the spoilers in the Season 2 thread are marked. ;)

[southerner]

mel7dog they are showing the final show next Wednesday night on ABC. So sorry you read my post.

The thing about Walt and the polar bear was in an interview in the bonus feature section.

[mel7dog]

So who do we think kidnapped Walt? The Others?
(Maybe he is going to stay gone for a while, that's why he wasn't listed with the characters for season 2)

I know it is thought that Walt is "special", but what signs besides the rain stopping suddenly .

[mrs_pell]

I have a request - Can all posts in this thread that are about the final episode please be clearly marked spoiler?? Most of us in here don't have the dvds (at least I know I don't) and now I know some major things about the finale. I'm not b*tching, just requesting. :) Thanks!

[Katy]

The reason this thread would be locked is because someone will more than likely post season 2 stuff in this thread (it happens). It just makes for an easier searching/posting process.

[southerner]

sorry Mrs. Pell, I tried to mark mine, we can take our conversation over to the Season Two thread. We'll see you over there soon ;)

[Sazoo]

What people in the season two thread have been doing to mark spoilers is writing the spoiler part in WHITE text so that you have to highlight it with your mouse in order to view/read that portion of the post. Seems to be working fairly well, as far as I can tell.

Here's an example:
Spoiler info, etc. etc. etc.
Highlight the line above with your mouse to see what it says.
:)

[mrs_pell]

sorry Mrs. Pell, I tried to mark mine, we can take our conversation over to the Season Two thread. We'll see you over there soon ;)

No problem. I have a horrible habit of not reading the post title before reading the post, so it's really my fault that I didn't see your initial warning. But there weren't warnings on other posts, and those were the ones that I was asking to be marked. :)

[Akemi]

I missed the first couple of episodes last fall, so I didn't watch the show at all, and just waited for the DVDs to come out... I just finished watching the season this weekend, and I'm so excited for season 2 to come out! Except I can't believe they killed off Boone. :(

I live on Oahu, so...

My wedding reception was at the building that's the "airport"... the airport cafe where Sun spills coffee on Jin is where part of my reception was.
Locke's flashback toystore parking lot... that's the Costco I shop at twice a week!
The jungle they walked through to get to the Black Rock (with the stream with the little waterfalls) was where I went camping as a girl scout.


I had a fun weekend.

[southerner]

akemi can I have you autograph??? :p

Come over to the Season Two thread. Lost Season Two thread (http://www.constantchatter.com/showthread.php?t=4375&highlight=lost)

[claribella]

Ok, i'm subscribing.

I cried too when Walt was taken.

Sarahh thanks for that Season 2 spoiler a couple of pages back! wow!

[mel7dog]

This weekend I had a lost marathon! I watched episodes 1-8 Sat, and all the ones they skipped this summer (I think 7 all together) on Sunday. Now I am beginning the bonus DVD :)

[southerner]

so, you saw the Kate robbing a bank episode? And what other ones did we miss early in the summer? Boone and Shannon? And????

[southerner]

claribella were you new to the show this summer also? Or a veteran?

I think it is pure brillance!!

[mel7dog]

so, you saw the Kate robbing a bank episode? And what other ones did we miss early in the summer? Boone and Shannon? And????

Yes yes, all those epidoes! Have you watched them yet?

I had already read them all online, but since I am a visual person it helped me to SEE everything. Plus I thought we missed a few things by missing all those episode.

I though the relationship w/Shannon and Syid came out of no where, but when I watched the missed episodes I realized they'd been hanging out for a while.

[southerner]

Yes yes, all those epidoes! Have you watched them yet?

No, but you do think they are worth renting? I didn't rent them yet b/c I have seen most (if not all) of the others ones on the discs they come with.

[sarahh]

No, but you do think they are worth renting? I didn't rent them yet b/c I have seen most (if not all) of the others ones on the discs they come with.ABSOLUTELY! You have to see those!! You have to go back and watch each one they skipped. :eek:

:D

[mel7dog]

ABSOLUTELY! You have to see those!! You have to go back and watch each one they skipped. :eek:

:D

ITA, we missed so much because ABC skipped those episodes. No major storylines, but lots of little important details that I'm sure will be important later on :)

[craftyT]

I've been a lurky-lurk up 'til now...

I must post as I watch tonights show... this is SO~O GOOD!!! I won't give spoilers for those who are watching on West Coast but I must say I love Hurley: "Dude, he like... exploded... right in front of us (in a stunned tone)" Classic Hurley :cool:

[mrs_pell]

"Dude, he like... exploded... right in front of us "

HAHA! That was soo funny (in a disturbing kind of way)!

[jarm]

Okay, I'm late coming in on this! I've been watching the reruns all summer (and I caught a few during the season), but I'm watching the one where the guys on the boat think they're going to get rescued...I knew there had to be a catch, but I wasn't expecting it to be what it was. As a mother, my stomach is full of butterflies and I want to cry, but the tears are scared to come out. Who were those people and what are they going to do with the boy? I wonder what'll happen to the three men that were on the boat. That just sucks!

[southerner]

Who were those people and what are they going to do with the boy?

We don't know yet. Well I don't at least, but some people in the other thread might know some spoilers.....

[Sazoo]

My favorite line is when Hurley says "Dude, you've got some...ARNZT on you!" (not sure I spelled Arnzt right)

Hee hee! :p

[numberlady]

I tried to stay away from this thread all re-run season because I was behind alot in watching the episodes on my tivo. For some reason I really felt like I was missing out on certain details and was shocked when I read this thread and found out that so many episodes were left out out. I though we were going to see the entire season :mad: Anyways, I am going to check out the season 2 thread.

[lbs27]

Hi all,

I'm finally ready to join this thread, and almost ready to join season 2's thread! DH started watching the reruns this summer and got completely sucked in. He never gets like this with TV shows, where he HAS to watch it. I have no idea what I was watching, but I missed the show the first time around and only saw about half the reruns. DH bought the DVDs the day they came out to watch the whole thing again. So, I watched last weekend and today to try and get through everything before Wed. AND, I can't wait to see the bonus CD! I love that kind of stuff. And, I'm trying to decide if I want to read the spoilers or not. Usually I love them, but for some reason, I don't want to know anything beforehand for Lost. Isn't that weird?

Anyway, glad to see so many others watching for the first time and hope to see you all in the Season 2 thread!

[KristyK]

I'm only up to episode 9! My son and I have been watching 2-3 of them a night after homework, etc. Can't watch after the 8pm hour because of all the other shows I watch at night! :D I am loving this show!!! So is my son!! I think tomorrow is going to be a full day "Lost" marathon, so we can get them all in! It's so exciting!
BTW, I loved the first show, when the guy gets sucked into the airplane engine, while they are all still there.......ACK! :eek:

[southerner]

Usually I love them, but for some reason, I don't want to know anything beforehand for Lost. Isn't that weird?

I'm in the same boat as you. I usually die to know spoilers about my other shows. For me, I think it's b/c it makes it that much more fun to watch, when you don't know what's going to happen. That and it allows me to think and hypothesize all week. Plus, it makes for more stimulating conversations with other LOST fans when you don't know.

[lbs27]

Glad to know I'm not the only one! DH hates that kind of stuff, so even if I knew I wouldn't be able to tell him, so I guess that takes away some of the fun.

I just finished watching the finale, so I'm all caught up! I can't believe how many of the number references were in the last episode--wow! I can't wait to see that develop more.

Also, I can't remember if this has been mentioned here before, but did anyone notice (I'm sure others did) all the times when different people seemed to just pass by others? Like in the airport, when Michael was on the phone, Locke went by in the wheelchair. Or when Hurley was waiting for the elevator and then Charlie was in it. Weird little things like that kept popping up. Oh, and in the episode when Boone was in the police station looking for shannon, Sawyer was brought in at the desk behind Boone. Weird!


Off to start Disc 7--the bonus features!

[Sazoo]

DH & I have been re-watching Season One on DVD for the past few days. Last night we got through 5 episodes! :eek: But I think we're only up to maybe #10, so we've got a lot left to watch before the premiere of Season Two on Wednesday night...I'm not sure we'll be able to re-watch ALL of the episodes between now & then, even though DH wants to. :rolleyes: I'd like to at least re-watch the last couple of episodes though, so we may have to skip ahead to do that before Wed.

It's kind of fun watching this show on DVD because it's like one big continuing story...sort of like watching a super long movie! :cool: I watched the bonus CD the other night & enjoyed seeing some of the background of how they made the show, etc.
