OK, I just finished watching the first episode of Lost: Season 2. Started off with one hell of a bang. I don't want to spoil it for those who just Tivo'd it, but I'd be interested in some reactions and discussions as the season goes on. The australian guy in the hatch (the same dude from the stadium steps who may have helped heal the accident victim/future wife of the doc), Walt showing up in the jungle (perhaps escaping from "the others" temporarily), etc. Very strange, but oh so intriguing.

I think it is interesting how they set up episode two. No time actually elapses, and we end up pretty much where the first episode ended, but a lot of blanks are filled in. I am a little wary of "the hunters." We'll see.

HELP! My VCR imploded (no, I still don't have TiVO) and I missed the second episode of the new season. Would anybody be so kind to give me a summary of what you think were the most important revelations of the episode???

1. A lot of flashback on Michael and Walt and Michael's attempt to keep his son in the US when Mom wanted to take him overseas. He gives up, out of love.
2. The guys on the raft: they all live. Michael and Sawyer fight and float together. Sawyer is shot, but superfically so. Jin is nowhere to be found. Mike and Sawyer are carried back to the island.
3. In the hatch, Locke convinces hatch-dude that Kate may be a threat and they tie her up in a closet filled with food and supplies. Locke slips her a knife and she cuts herself free and climbs into the air ducts.
4. Jack comes down and there's a standoff. There is some sort of old-timey computer in there and Locke (previously) had to enter in a code (the lottery numbers, duh!) to make it do something (we don't know what!)
5. Jack recognizes hatch-dude from the stadium. Standoff continues. Kate's still in the ducts.
6. At the end, Mike and Sawyer wash up on the island and Jin races towards them, his hands bound. He mumbles in Korean, but finally gets out "Others" as the three men see a group of wild folks racing towards them.
I'm sure I've forgotten stuff. Others may have fill ins...

That's pretty much it. The only thing I might add is that Desmond(hatch dude) asks Locke if the other survivors have started getting sick yet.

OK am I the only one disappointed with season two so far?
i mean ok so i have only seen up to ep 3, but it is no way near as good as season one so far!
season one was great cause it followed a continuous narrative timeline with history background stories of different characters per episode - i dont understand why they changed the format of this! now it follows "the day after the night before" type of thing for different characters, whilst still maintaining the flashbacks...
i understand that maybe they had to do this as too much would have gone on at the same time, but that also would have happened in season one, it will get very annoying if i have to see Jack being asked why he is going into the hatch one more time by Hurley!!!
also... **Spoiler**the one thing that i do think was very clever was the idea of whether typing the numbers in really was a mind game or an experiment! because although, much like jack, i would want to see what happens if the numbers where not entered, i would enter them anyway!! so annoying!
oh well!!
lets hope the series expands greatly and for the better

I forgot to set my DVR to record last night's episode. Can anyone help me with a summary please?
Sawyer, Mike, and Jin are taken out of the cage by their captors and trek to a location that APPEARS to be another hatch-type thing, through a door in the rock. Their captors were on the tail half of the plane and 23 of them survived, but there weren't 23 of them inside the room (Disease? CANNIBALISM?). Sawyer meets Bernard, husband of Rose (the older woman who told Jack in season one that hubby was still alive)
Hurley is given the unfortunate task of rationing food and supplies, which leads to flashbacks of how his lottery winnings led to the dissolution of a friendship between his best friend prior to the money came in. Hurley worries that everyone will hate him because he's in charge of the food and thinks about blowing it up, but instead tells Jack that they should just have a feast and give up on the rationing idea. They do.

PRG, just thought I would mention...you can download TV episodes on sites like http://www.mininova.org (near the bottom. I think the last Lost is there)and http://www.torrentspy.com (just do a search) if you have a torrent client.

Yea, well you see this one? This was my dream, my wish....and it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back, I'm taking them all back. -Face
In other Lost news...are you guys really getting into this whole thing?...With the clues and little things to pick up on here and there? I had no idea the depth that these guys are going to with this show until I read an article in USA Today about it. They mentioned little things like an airport scene last season where a basketball team's jersey numbers made up the "number sequence" and big things like something Access Hollywood or someone found out...in this years season opener or the next episode...where the girl "sees" Walt dripping with water and making that ominous whispering noise we've heard before...they played his whispers backwards and it said "don't push the button", I assume referring to the button that is pushed down in the hatch. I mean, that's just crazy. Why would they go to those lengths? Most people don't even have the capability to play recorded tv shows backwards. I must admit I am drawn in by the depth that Abrams and the other producers are taking this show to.

Wow, it's been a long time since someone posted. So I'm still following the show, no matter how difficult ABC makes it! Seriously, why do they feel showing one or two(!) new episodes a month gets the job done? If they continue with this schedule, they should at least show the most current episode before the new one. That said, I'm still digging the show. Every time they find a new hatch I get excited, and I'm still curious to find out if the balloon guy is who he says he is. On a side note, did you all see Desmond on 24 last night? He was the German intelligence guy

Lost is still a great show, but you're so right about ABC. I hate their 2 weeks on/2 weeks off scheduling. It makes me almost want to skip tuning in altogether and wait for the DVD like I used to do with Alias. Of course Alias got cancelled, and now I feel partly responsible. ABC could definitely stand to take a page from Fox's playbook with 24 and air an uninterrupted season. For shows that have a continuing storyline, that's the best way to watch them. Stretching 22 episodes out over a whole year is lame.

Hey does anyone remember a cereal flash toon from about 5 years ago that strikes a resemblance to ABC's LOST. It featured a bunch of seemingly unrelated people who ended up on a "deserted" island in the south pacific. It was featured on NPR but I cant remember the name.

Sorry. Can't help you there.
FYI...don't post the same message in multiple threads. I deleted the other thread you started.
Good luck on your search...maybe someone here will know. (Did you search the NPR archives?)

I'm trying to keep the tread alive! I have really enjoyed the last few episodes. "Henry" has added something that has been lacking. Right now it really feels like the show is building toward something instead of filling in background like in the beginning of the season.

Besides having some grand story, is Lost funny, or are there violent action scenes?
After watching two seasons of The Shield, I'm tired of watching a story for storytelling's sake. It's very interesting the first time through, but I would never want to watch a Shield episode twice.

I'd say both, I guess. There are a few funny characters. Charlie and Hurley have their moments. And Sawyer's one-liners are the funniest moments of the show.
As far as violence, yeah, there's a good amount. But it's never really gratuitous.
