LOST: Season III

[Yippy]

Since I can't find the last Season III thread, I'll start a new one...

Where is everybody? Did you all give up on LOST, like I feel like doing? Is anybody out there? Does anybody care? :p

I have to admit, I'm still hanging in there, but after every episode, my son and I look at each other and roll our eyes and say we miss the first season.:p I'm overloaded with questions and am a bit tired of being frustrated. There's just not enough continuity with the characters...the story is too fragmented for my tired mind.

Any LOST enthusiasts left?

[bassgirl192]

i still love it. when i can watch it. i'll admit, it's not as great as the first season, but i think they'll be sure to make next season good. it'll have to be good because they had to decide officially how many seasons to do so the writers knew how fast to take the plot. i'm sure they won't tell us how many seasons there will be, cuz where's the fun in that? hehe. but i just have this feeling charlie is going to go. i don't know why. but the show needs a very major character to go. it'll help rescue it.

[MELSCCFAN4life]

I think its getting really good but really strange
I don't think that a major character needs to go
I am hooked on the show
I love it

[see_through]

I'm still watching every week. I think season 2 was by far the best. The only thing that bothers me about this season is that very little happens in each episode. Each week we get about 5-10 minutes of real good plot action. But I'm hooked and I'll be there until the end!

[River]

I'm still a fan... love the show.

Anyone doubting this season do Not miss the next two episodes. I hear that some amazing stuff is coming up.

[ausgirl]

I am not entirely sure what season we are up to in Aus - they are locked up in cages outside at the moment if that helps and 'whats his face' - the one who always needs a good shave and wash, just had an imaginary pace maker put in by the insane people. Cause I kinda lost interest and haven't consistently watched, I am (for want of a better word) LOST!
What annoyed me most was how they'd advertise, "you'll be blown away by the first 5 minutes of next weeks show", etc, so you'd watch and go, so what about that blew me away.
I think the writers have tried to make things too complicated. Are these people ever going to get off this island - oh, and is someone having to press that stupid button all the time still or not.

You have summed up, in your post why "Lost" confuses so many people. If you miss too many episodes it takes a lot to get caught back up.

You're at the beginning of season 3. And if the first 5 minutes of season 3 Didn't "blow you away" then you should probably stop watching it because that was one of the best moments of the series Ever.

P.S. Oh, and no they don't need to press the button anymore. Hatch blew up, big purple light everywhere... and Desmond (the naked Scottish guy) just became a lot more interesting.

[Yippy]

I'm still watching, because I've invested too much time not to...:D My son and I watch it together, but we've both realized that for every question they answer, we have 20 more...I've forgotten half of them. What I don't like about LOST is that they have way too many characters going. You'll see someone for a few weeks then not see them for even longer. It's too choppy.
And what happened to the monsters - or whatever they were - and the thing that killed Eko? Right now, Kate & John are annoying the heck out of me....I think I'm just tired of them. Too many little things going on. Ha, ha...have I complained enough?

I will definitely watch the next two, River.

My problem with talking about this show on a message board is, my initial reaction after every show is : What the heck? I don't even know what my questions are anymore...:D

I agree completely. I have never seen another television program that plays with your mind so much every week. It's insane. I love it. :)

I am a mother of two teenagers...my mind is fragile enough...:D

IMO, they leave too many things undone when introducing more. They should tie a few more things up as they go along...it wouldn't hurt. I wonder if they diliberately leave things unanswered.

They do tie things up... but most of the time they do ask more questions for every question that they answer. It's a mystery program though, so it kinda has to do that.

Whenever people feel like they're not getting answers from "Lost", I tell them to go back and watch the pilot episode and remember all of the questions that came from that episode. Almost all of them are answered.

[JanetRN]

So Jack and blondie are brother and sister huh? Why? Something has got to come of that... Locke has gotten to the point of just annoying. He blew up the only ice? (LOL) Lied about know there were explosives? I think I'm with you Diane, I watch with my son and have invested too much time to just quit now but if I miss an episode I'm no longer heart broken. And if they start back with the reruns I really don't think I'd care.


PS What book was Sayer reading last episode...remember when stuff like that mattered to future shows?

[Andi]

I just refuse to give up on Lost! I have never missed an episode and I continue to look forward to it each week. I have to admit though - like yall - that at the end of each show my husband and I look at each other and are like "man - what was that???" lol It seems to be getting better each week - finally!

What did yall think about Jack playing football at the end of last week? Man - did you see the look on their faces?

[luvmyrottie]

I never watched Lost until Feb. of this year when I was staying with my son and daughter-in-law. They watch it every week. I had no idea what was going on, so over the next week I watched all of seasons 1 and 2. I missed the first part of season 3, but I'm pretty much caught up now. And I am hooked.

I agree that Locke is getting annoying. He's acting like he's going to try and take over or something. And Jack playing football like that was a surprise. Why wasn't he still locked up? Has he made friends with them and decided to abandon the other survivors? Again, just more questions and more reasons to watch next week!

[Yippy]

And Jack playing football like that was a surprise. Why wasn't he still locked up? Has he made friends with them and decided to abandon the other survivors?
The first thing I thought of when I saw that was that he's just letting them think he's okay with them all. I don't think he's planned to abandon the other survivors for a minute. I think he's probably biding his time figuring out who he can save with himself when he does make his move. That's all if he hasn't let the Sawyer/Kate thing get to him.




PS What book was Sayer reading last episode...remember when stuff like that mattered to future shows?
I miss that kind of thing. Or maybe it's still going on, but I'm too bogged down in trying to keep up that I've missed a bunch of stuff.

[River]

So Jack and blondie are brother and sister huh? Why? Something has got to come of that... Locke has gotten to the point of just annoying. He blew up the only ice? (LOL) Lied about know there were explosives?

Locke is up to something... I guess we'll find out what on Wednesday.

PS What book was Sayer reading last episode...remember when stuff like that mattered to future shows?

That was never the case. The books that appear on the show (and the songs also like "Make Your Own Kind of Music" are meant to be hints to the larger mysteries of what's going on, but we probably won't find out their relevance until much later. Although the "Make Your Own Kind of Music" thing makes sense now.

[Yippy]

I just knew Locke's dad was there somewhere, and I knew the second the sub blew up that Locke was stuck on the island forever with his dad! I think it's the only thing on this blasted show that I've figured out.

Before we started watching the show last night, my son said, "Why don't you write your questions down, so you'll remember what they were?" :D :D I thought that was really funny.

My #1 question is: Why are the Others so hostile? You'd think they'd be glad to see new people.

They couldn't have found a more perfect actor for Ben. And..yeah...why isn't he healing? He's so creepy...and his eyes...

So, will someone tell me what happened last night besides Locke's dad showing up? I think I need to be spoon fed this show...:D

[see_through]

I thought this week's show was one of the better ones in a while. I've always been suspicious of John, and now am even more so.

[Corrine]

We just watched this week's episode and all I can say is, "Huh?!" That episode had nothing to do with the show at all. How dare they lead people on with "two of the castaways die" only to find out that it's two of the extras. Who cares?!!! I'm >_< that close to not watching this show again. Y'all are right. All they do is ask more questions. They never answer any! I feel like it's all a big joke on the viewing audience, and I'm getting a little tired of it. At least on Heroes, things happen and questions get answered.

One thing about Lost, I've learned to really appreciate "fore shadowing". I knew just what was going to happen this week as soon as Locke told Paolo not to bother to bury anything because things don't stay buried long on the island. :rolleyes:

If they kill Sawyer, I'm done. His wit is the only thing that keeps me watching at this point.

[mcgreen311]

Wow, I like having questions and being kept in the dark...(like a mushroom, anyway).

We still don't know where the monsters came from. Unless Juliet is lying, they aren't from the others.

[seeker]

Sorry I don't post more in this thread. I have a forum that I like that is pretty much all LOST. The people are nice and you can get a lot of answers as well.

Some day when it's raining outside, I'll curl up on the couch and read through each season. Maybe I'll remember all my questions and find the answers...:D

Re: this week's episode...Where do you think the Others went and what do you think is going on with Juliet? She just creeps me out. Ick. She and Kate could disappear and I wouldn't miss them. Isn't that nice of me?

[River]

Re: this week's episode...Where do you think the Others went...?

There are large hints about that in Locke's episode a couple of weeks ago...

[seeker]

^ Well what is it??

I think the others have gone to a hatch that is of yet, unexplored by the LOSTies.

I think Juliet is still in cahoots with Ben and this is all a ploy to become "one of us".

[Yippy]

And? Please help those of us with very few brain cells left at the end of the day to figure this out. It has to be REALLY obvious for me to get it.:D (I use all I've got to stay 1/2 step ahead of my teenagers!)

I would never trust her...I mean she had the key to the handcuffs, for goodness' sake. And to say that she didn't want anyone else in her life to leave her...ugh. Puh-leeze. I wonder what the dealio is with her and Jack.

Side note: I liked Sawyer being nice. The pony tail thing has got to go, though...doesn't have the right hair...(heheh)

Well, Locke went away with them wherever they went, and he went willingly. And we know from his last episode that he doesn't agree with them living in houses and using refrigerators and such... and since Ben wants to use the island to get healed as Locke has, it seems like Locke is leading them to go "live off the land" or the like.

Ah...thank you for that. :)

I haven't seen season III, and JUST finished season 1. Wow! But Season 2 is quite different in its pacing. oh well, I just love Hurley.

I loved Season I. Season 2 was good. Season 3 is annoying, but I'm committed.:D

[see_through]

I thought I would resurrect this old thread to say that although this season has gotten incredibly strange, I think I may be more addicted than ever!!

[Yippy]

I've invested too many man hours to give up now, but just about everybody annoys me now. About the only ones who don't are Jin & Sawyer. Juliet just drives me up the wall. Every time someone talks to her, she pauses for an annoying amount of time...does anyone in real life pause when someone says something to them?:D ugh I've begun to look away when she's on.:P I haven't watched Wednesday's episode yet. I'll probably get to it today sometime.

[Jason]

Lost will end in 2010.

[Yippy]

I just watched Wed.'s episode, and all I can say is


ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

[Corrine]

Lost will end in 2010.

But isn't it 2015 now? So we are watching reruns? ;)

I'll probably get to it today sometime. Yes, my husband does that. Drives me up a wall!!!!!!!!! But I never realized that Juliet does it. I like her. I want her to be good.

So Locke is dead? Or will Jacob bring him back? What did Jacob mean by "Help me"? Help him because Ben is holding him captive? Or "Help me" as in "Join me"? Is Richard really that much older than Ben? I don't think he's any older, but he was an adult when Ben was a kid and ran away. So none of the Dharma people survived. Huh. So that just sort of tosses them into the trash can. Or maybe everything Bed said is a lie? He did say that some of his story was a lie. And he's not any kind of scientist or anything? He's just a workman? He's a loser! (Of course, we kinda suspected that all along.) And Ben wanted Locke to kill his dad because he had killed his own. Weirdo.

Dan pointed out that all of these people seem to have lead pitiful lives. They had terrible childhoods, with awful parents! Yet none of them have overcome the screwing up their parents began in their lives.

I wonder whatever happened to Walt and Michael, for real. You know they didn't really let them go.

So things are finally happening. Good. Now it's getting exciting.

Oh, and didn't Danielle give birth to her daughter on the island? And I thought she got pregnant on the island. And what about the sickness Danielle spoke of that drove all of her people crazy? So many holes!

But some people seem to have some kind of magical powers. I guess Walt had that ability. Locke seems to have it and so does Ben. The things they earnestly want show up. Hmmmm.

So I wonder, and maybe one of you can tell me, those that have kept up with the websites and books attached to Lost, has it been worth it? Do you feel like you know what's going on better for all your research? Or do you feel like the books and/or websites have led you down a wrong path?

[Yippy]

But isn't it 2015 now? So we are watching reruns? ;)

I wish it was 2015. I'd be put out of my LOST mysery already.;)

I was just over on the Relevant boards and they have a pretty interesting LOST thread going...I can't believe the things everybody notices. I can't believe what a simpleton I am when it comes to this show. :)

[Yippy]

Oh, and didn't Danielle give birth to her daughter on the island? And I thought she got pregnant on the island. And what about the sickness Danielle spoke of that drove all of her people crazy? So many holes!
I've forgotten most of the holes. LIke I've said before, my son says I should write my questions down, cause I forget them. I don't get Danielle at all. I mean...what is she doing all by herself all the time we don't see her?

So I wonder, and maybe one of you can tell me, those that have kept up with the websites and books attached to Lost, has it been worth it? Do you feel like you know what's going on better for all your research? Or do you feel like the books and/or websites have led you down a wrong path?
I decided early on that I wasn't going to obsess on this show. THe problem with that is, I rarely know what's going on! Since I haven't obsessed, I don't remember my questions, so I don't know when a lot of stuff is answered. I really need a summarization without all the red herrings.

I just watched some screencaps on this site: http://losteastereggs.blogspot.c om/ & the Relevant boardies have some interesting theories. Kind of helped me get what was going on.

[mindyhere]

We're big LOST fans in my house. Every Wednesday me, my husband and three boys watch it.

I think that is getting a little too confusing, but I still look forward to it.

I can't believe that about Locke - :eek:

Surely someone will find him and save him ...

[Jason]

But isn't it 2015 now? So we are watching reruns? ;)

No matter what the boards say, it is not 2015. :rolleyes:

[mindyhere]

No matter what the boards say, it is not 2015. :rolleyes:

Yeah - they said three more years, right?

[Corrine]

If they can hold on to their fans for three more years.

I think that was either extremely chicken of them, or it was brilliant. I mean, everyone is trying to figure out who these Dharma people are, and then we find out that they really don't figure into what's going on now much, because they were exterminated like bugs years ago! Wow, talk about your red herrings!

I so wish I hadn't accidentally deleted the original Lost thread. I'd love to go back and read some of our early theories.

I'm to the point that I just like to watch it every week. I don't think about it much during the rest of the time (except now, of course.)

[River]

So I wonder, and maybe one of you can tell me, those that have kept up with the websites and books attached to Lost, has it been worth it? Do you feel like you know what's going on better for all your research? Or do you feel like the books and/or websites have led you down a wrong path?

Definately worth it... it's a lot of fun, and (up to an extent) the more you learn about the show, the better it gets.

Oh, and didn't Danielle give birth to her daughter on the island? And I thought she got pregnant on the island. And what about the sickness Danielle spoke of that drove all of her people crazy? So many holes!



Danielle was already Very pregnant when she got to the island and (allegedly... let's not forget, she's not all there) gave birth while on it. The sickness probably exists... but it may have been a figment of her imagination. We don't know yet.

[Corrine]

You still have your old avatar! Awww! Love it! :)

up. Hmmmm.

I think the island will just heal Locke again. That's the easy way out, so hopefully they will be more creative about it.

I love the twists and turns and red herrings. If it turned out how I thought, I would just be bored. Now, if they end of the series rather stupidly, that will be another story.

[River]

You still have your old avatar! Awww! Love it! :)

I just looked up and there it was. I missed my av.

[seeker]

It was a smart move on both the producers and ABC's part to give the series a definite end date. This way the show wont just keep going and going (which is what the producers didn't want to happen) and big fans (like myself) and normal people will know for sure that the show will wrap up and that the writers and producers aren't just making things up as they go along.

[see_through]

WOW!! I thought the season finale was the BEST episode in all three years...it had me on the edge of my seat for the first time in a LOOOOONG time!!

That twist at the end...never saw it coming!

[mindyhere]

Yeah - it was pretty good. I didn't see the end coming either ...

[Dan!]

This is just great.:rolleyes: After all of the flash back story lines, now we're flashing forward. I finally figured out that the show is called "Lost" because that is where the story line leaves viewers.

But I'm still a sucker for intrigue. So who was in that casket?

[Carolina Cliff]

I'm wondering if the Jack we see in the flash forward is the same Jack that is on the island, because in the flash forwards he talks about his dad like he's still alive, and we know that he was dead before the plane ever crashed on the island. And who was in the casket? Who died that nobody came to the funeral? So many questions, as always, lol.:D

[scbyd23]

The full beard....not a good look on Jack.

My favorite line of the whole night was when Rose told Jack that if he said live together or die alone she was going to slap him. :D

[Corrine]

I love that Charlie, Rockstar to the end, always has a Sharpie handy. :D

[Yippy]

I love that Charlie, Rockstar to the end, always has a Sharpie handy. :D

I actually had tears in my eyes when I realized that they really were going to off him. I think they did it beautifully.

So, do you all think that next season they'll be back to the future with island flashbacks? Or still on the island with flashforwards?

I like where this is going, but there are still tons of q's not answered.

That's a good question. I'm thinking that they'll stay on-island and do flash-forwards. I don't think they'll change the primary setting of the show... but anything's possible with "Lost".

[see_through]

But I'm still a sucker for intrigue. So who was in that casket?

I'm guessing it was Locke...just because no one showed up, and when the guy asked Jack if he was friend or family Jack simply said, "No".

[Yippy]

I'm guessing it was Locke...just because no one showed up, and when the guy asked Jack if he was friend or family Jack simply said, "No".

Why would Jack get all teary-eyed over Locke, though? I've heard people say it's probably a character that hasn't been introduced yet. Could be.

[mcgreen311]

I'm wondering if the Jack we see in the flash forward is the same Jack that is on the island, because in the flash forwards he talks about his dad like he's still alive, :D

Exactly! That's one reason the flash forward idea caught me off guard. Unless...the island healed Jack's dad:D . Jack did see him walking around, so maybe it wasn't a hallucination.

I actually had tears in my eyes when I realized that they really were going to off him. I think they did it beautifully.

But why couldn't he just close the door from the other side?!

[Yippy]

But why couldn't he just close the door from the other side?!
Because he thought Claire wouldn't get rescued unless he died.

[scbyd23]

Also, Desmond would have wanted to talk to Penelope. If that would have happened both of them would have died when eye patch eye let the grenade go.

We've just watched this series in about 3 evenings! I was waiting for the first few from a friend. It was AWSOME!! The last 2 episodes were the best. Hurley is now my hero!! He was sooooooo cool :D:D! As you've all said - too many questions AGAIN! What on earth is going to happen next season. Man - I can't wait!

[Corrine]

I think Sawyer was in the casket, just because it's that whole triangle thing. And because of the way Kate said, "Why should I go?"

[River]

I think Sawyer was in the casket, just because it's that whole triangle thing. And because of the way Kate said, "Why should I go?"

I've read a lot of theories over the last few weeks, but never that one... it makes a lot of sense.

[EmmoGomer]

Naaaaaaah, Kate said ' I've gotta get back - he'll be waiting' I don't know who she meant by 'HE', but I'm guessing it was Sawyer - or am I just an old romantic at heart?!

[River]

Naaaaaaah, Kate said ' I've gotta get back - he'll be waiting' I don't know who she meant by 'HE', but I'm guessing it was Sawyer - or am I just an old romantic at heart?!

If she's settling down with anyone, that police officer from her past is a possibility.

[EmmoGomer]

Oh yeah - the guy from 'Firefly' (now that's a good show!!). Do you not think he's gonna be mad at Kate for leaving him?

[River]

Oh yeah he will ("Drive" was a good show too)... but he struck me as the forgiving sort.

Hey there all LOST fans! Thrilled to find this thread, albeit off season. Granted it is Thanksgiving Eve 2007 and way too soon for the 4th season to start (if it does--strike and all), I am imploring you all to not give up on LOST and dump this thread. I am the last hold out of all my friends regarding the most lovingly bizarre and captivating show on TV. Thus, I need (okay, want) a community of likeminded individuals to discuss Jack and Sawyer...especially Sawyer....sigh....I think he is a “Mister Darcy” deep down inside his wounded heart...even in his crimes of passion, he is just misguided and misunderstood....really, he was given misinformation in both instances...oh my, I’ve really lost it. I have become an advocate and engaging in apologia for a fictitious person... pray for me... ;)

[seeker]

From what I have read online, they have only 8 episodes filmed. Who knows what the producers will do with that, I guess it all depends on how long the strike goes on.

I don't suppose it matters cause the cast seems to be dead set on ending the deal anyway. There was yet another DUI arrest the other day. Jin this time. It did not end well for the other two cast members last year who were arrested. I'm predicting a short season for Jin...

What is the deal, do they need to have a MADD inservice over there? Someone teach these folks how to hail a cab!!!!

I am still holding out and only hope that the strike will not delay the start of the new season, which last I heard was Jan or Feb. I have never understood why the long breaks between seasons!! I think they get longer each time. I also wonder that they are in danger of losing their fans. You would think that TV producers of all people would know that most adults now have the attention span of a gnat!! But maybe the ulterior motive is to force people to purchase the DVD's of Seasons 1 thru 3 to remember what in the world was going on!! I have to admit, I have forgotten alot of what has transpired previously, and it will be hard to get back into the show. But I do plan to watch it if it ever airs.

Have you seen all of the first 3 seasons????? Or are you waiting for Season 3 to come out on DVD??? I guess I thought it was already out!! :P

Season 3 isn't out yet, but it will be soon.

[blue eyed merle]

Not Jin, too!! However, maybe in the usual celebrity treatment of offenders, he will walk...I should be bothered by that...but...LOST is a very good show and, thus, I am in an ethical quandry about this...

I would cross the picket line and write for the show to get it back in production ASAP. Throw rotten cabbage at me, I don't care...I have turned my TV off for months, making an effort to watch only The Office and LOST...and I want my LOST TV.

[TN3Dmom]

I have to admit I'm suffering from Sawyer's clever nickname withdrawals.;)

[Corrine]

I'm just suffering from Sawyer withdrawals. (Did I say that out loud? :eek: ) But with Heroes, does anyone really care if Lost every comes back? I think they've waited too long to come back. They were too cocky. Now they are going to have to come up with something huge to get their audience back, and to keep it.

[TN3Dmom]

Female? Check
Pulse? Check
It goes without saying....:D

Mama G, you took the words right out of my head! The world can keep their metro's and uber's. I contend, LOST's popularity ...among women... is due to the traditional masculinity of the male characters. :o
...I'm just sayin'

[Jason]

Ugh. Sawyer treats women like dirt.

[Corrine]

Not all of the male characters are masculine. That Jack's a whiny cry baby!

[blue eyed merle]

I stand corrected, Corrine...Jack can be a whiny baby, true, however, he did allow Kate to stitch him up with just a sewing kit and an alcoholic beverage, so he gets some man cred there.

Traditional masculinity in my head equates to protector/provider/knowledgeable in traditional male roles (spider killer, sink unclogger, toilet thing-a-majiggy fixer, eye-roller at baby showers, etc.) For example when I say traditional masculinity I mean: Who will give a blank look or furrowed brow at the mention of “duvet“? ...without a doubt, Sawyer and Locke...Sayid and Hurley...probably Desmond, maybe Charlie, remote possibly that even Jack has no clue about "duvets" and their usage...

Jason, I must admit, Sawyer was not a pillar of ethics before the island, but he has treated Kate pretty fairly. All things being equal, she was not a monument to morality, either.

[seeker]

I don't think LOST is anywhere close to losing the viewing audience. When it comes back (strike delay or not) people will be hungry for new shows. If anything the strike is helping LOST because all the new shows that are on now are reruns.

Can't wait for the DVD release! Has anyone been watching the webisodes? youtube them. Nice little fillers in the meantime.

[catman]

As one that does not have time to watch the show on TV, I wonder if the character, Henry Gale, is still on the show? I went through school with this guy and he is nothing like the characters he plays on TV and in films. I guess he has found his niche, however, and will continue playing "sleazeballs".
When we were in high school, he played Cornelius Vanderbilt in Hello Dolly and was excellent, although he does not sing well.

Oh yes, he is definitely still on the show. Henry is a major character and I am anxious to see what he and all of the other people on the island will be up to next season. So many unanswered questions!! :eek: :D

[Jason]

Yay, my season three DVDs came today. No more Kate withdrawals. ;)

[TN3Dmom]

That Kate is a cutie. She and Sawyer cetainly make one genetically blessed couple.:D I need to put that on my list. I can't remember what happened now. I only remember the last episode, but I won't spoil anything for you.

Thank you for not spoiling anything. I think in real life, I'd go for Claire though.

Again, very beautiful. That has got to be the best lookin' cast on TV.

Well at least until there's a show about Gomers.

[Marmoo68]

Well at least until there's a show about Gomers.

What would that show be called?? "On the Road Again"??? "Highway to Heaven"?? or in my case it would be called "Lost" since that seems to happen to me while trying to find venues!! LOL!!! So thankful for the VZ Navigator that got us (me and Roma) to Greenville!!

I am ashamed to admit this, but which character is Henry? In all of my Sawyer adoration, I cannot recall which one he is? I have not rewatched any of the episodes after their original airings. Feeling pretty stupid for asking, but I can remember Sawyer (*sigh*), Jack, Charlie, Hugo, Locke, Jin and the guy who played "Carl" in Love Actually, but Henry? :o Not a clue. Have I subconsciously omitted him from the cast?

Oh and again ... Sawyer? C'mon, Christian ladies, the guy is a slimeball.

OK, Jason. It's the "bad boy syndrome", and unfortunately I don't think Christian ladies are immuned. None of us would marry one of those bad boys, hopefully, but there is definitely an attraction and some sort of need to nurture men like that. I'm not saying it's right, and I'd love to hear a psychologist's take on it. Just speakin' the truth from my perspective.

I wish Christian ladies were immune as it's truly sad. I was getting some dating advice e-mails for a while that advised guys on how to be the bad boy and not the nice guy. And we wonder why divorce rates are so high.

Well, I don't think the bad boy thing can be taught. You either are or you are not. Why would a genuine nice guy want to try that? But like I said, no girlfriends of mine actually married the bad boy. It's more of a spectator-type attraction. I'm not endorsing it at all. Just trying to explain the Sawyer thing. Human nature is really funny sometimes. I was never a fan of the game-playing and that sort of stuff in relationships. I can't speak for all ladies, but honesty, compassion, and a sense of humor are way more attractive than the bad boy thing.

I guess I wish ladies would stop talking about the bad boys because it can make the nice guys think they have no chance or try to become the bad boy.

By the way, honesty, compassion, and a sense of humour work for me too.

[blue eyed merle]

Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me...I forgot about that! Ben is vile and wretched! :mad: That's why I have omitted him from my memory...

Oh and again ... Sawyer? C'mon, Christian ladies, the guy is a slimeball.

At least he is not Ben...

Sawyer's looking even better now, ain't he? ;)

Sawyer...(cue Gomer's theme)...Could he be any more Gomeresque? He does not deserve my adoration, but I will lavish it on him because, well, you know how the song goes...

Might I add...it's a tv show and my adoration stops at 11:00 pm when I check back into the real world. ;)

Seriously and honestly...what is it about the character Sawyer and other fictional characters like him? I could tell you why my girlfriends and I have an attraction to those kinds of characters, however, I fear the truth would be difficult to digest. It's a Pandora’s box that I am not afraid to open, but have the forethought to leave it alone...especially in a forum like this

[TN3Dmom]

It's a featured video on Yahoo today, and it looks fantastic!! It starts 1/31/08. I just hope they have enough shows done where they don't leave us hanging due to the writer's strike. Can't wait!!!

I got Lost Season 3 on DVD for Christmas! In my opinion the special features were not that great, but if you get this, make sure you click around on the menus to find Easter eggs with extras.
So we're been watching it over and we're like, "Wow, forgot about that!" Last night we watched episode 4 when we meet Juliette. Jack, Sawyer & Kate were still locked up:rolleyes:, that crazy polar bear fiasco with Locke and Echo, and Desmond shows up, um..should I say...unprepared??:o LOL
I'm telling you, it seems like this all happened soooo long ago, so I'm really glad we're reviewing it. Hopefully, we'll get through it by Jan. 31st. We might have to have a Lost marathon night. Have Grammie watch the girls and just go for it! Commercial free, gotta love that!
If you just can't wait, and want to review last season, here is a link to a blog I spend lots of time at, when I should be working, that has some interesting info to pass the time until Jan 31st....Billboard of Josh Holloway? Who knew?

Whitney keeps me updated on all the current Pop culture. Otherwise, I'm sure I would be Lost. har har

I love Whitney's blog. I have been turned on to a lot of shows and music from her blog. Love that she covers stuff a little off the beaten path! I wanna have her job!!! Watch TV and listen to music, and have fun little meet ups every month or so. I think I could suffer thru that for my profession!:D

I know, Really!!Must be nice... I've been reading her blog for almost 2 years now. Nice to meet another Pop reader! And a Christian 3D fan like me. cool!:cool: I find some cool stuff to email to people from her site. I have to admit I am clueless about a lot of the stuff she posts about though! LOL

[Marmoo68]

Hey...it's okay...we cannot all be attracted to Sawyer...I am fatally flawed so there's my excuse ;)

LOL!!!! But in reality I have picked some "gems" in REAL life!!! :D :P

I have started a LOST marathon myself!! I am going to try to watch the first 3 seasons before Jan 31st. I have watched the first 5 episodes of Season 1. Should get me ready to roll on the nite of the Season 4 premiere. Can't wait!!! :D

[blue eyed merle]

Sounds like the wise way to go. Don't look and don't stress about it, leave it in God's hands 'cuz He knows best anyway!!! That is my philosophy. Uhh, don't look now Merle, but I think we hi-jacked this thread!!! LOL!!! Hey, speaking of Jack, I have watched the first 10 episodes of Season 1 of Lost. Hoping I can find the time to watch all episodes of the first 3 seasons before January 31st. Can't wait for that!! How is that for getting the thread back on track. :D ;)

[EmmoGomer]

I'm impressed Mary - good 'pulling back' of this very off track thread. I was just about to add this smilie http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/signs080.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org). Just kiddin'. You know I am the Queen of Hijacks!!

Back to 'Lost' - I have almost forgotten what was going on at the end of the last series.

I have forgotten a lot of the 3rd Season. It is a sign of age!!! ;) That is why I am backtracking and trying to watch all of the first 3 seasons. There are alot of little things I have forgotten, and it is nice to go back and revisit the first season. I do hope that the 4th Season will answer some questions instead of just creating more questions!!! But am anxious to see what happens next!! :D

Does it have to end?? I was assuming we would all rush to our computers after each episode to discuss what just happened!!! I know the next day at work I spend the whole morning discussing what happened the nite before on LOST. We try to figure things out and speculate as to what will happen next, etc, etc. :D

Surely someone will start a season 4 thread, won't they? I would but I have to go to work the next morning!

[EmmoGomer]

Anyone can start a Lost Season 4 thread - so feel free!! Only one thing though...............NO SPOILERS!!
I will not see Lost until (if all goes to plan eh Mary ;)?!!) several weeks down the line!
I am kidding. I won't look at the thread AT ALL!!

Oh yes, someone will start a LOST Season 4 thread. And don't worry Emily, I've got you covered!!! ;) Don't blame you for not looking at the Season 4 thread. I hate knowing what is going to happen, I like surprises!!!! :D :D

[Marmoo68]

Oh yes, Miss Merle, someone will start the thread I am sure!!! Maybe even me. I finally get the reference you were making!!! I was not thinking about the fact that this is the Season 3 thread and that a new thread would have to be started for Season 4. I did not have my thinking cap on that day!! LOL!!! So you are right, this thread will be history in just a few weeks. Can't wait, can't wait!!

[blue eyed merle]

I cannot wait either as I have seen the trailer and it looks pretty good to me...
