Let's talk about LOST

I have to admit, the twists and filling in the back story is starting to be overwhelmed by the horrible dragging pace of this season.

Up until this current season (whatever "season" means in this context anymore), my son and I didn't miss an episode. Enjoyed the complexity, and even though it kind of felt like it was being invented as it went along, it was compelling viewing.

What I DIDN'T enjoy was the strange and varied time elapses between "seasons". Sometimes these seemed way too long. Finally decided that I wasn't going to support ABC's jacking me around anymore by trotting out the next segments willy nilly. The complexity of the plot lines is not compatible with this kind of scheduling.

I still think of it as a creative and unique show, but haven't bothered to watch it since. Funny thing, I don't miss it either. It just became too much effort . . .

You can go back to your nap.

I've been following this thread for a while but haven't posted as I usually watch the show a few night after it's aired. I probably won't stay subscribed so I don't accidentally read something before I watch the show. Lost has been just that from time to time but I still watch it and think it's one of the more interesting shows on TV along with Heroes and Fringe.

Off topic: Any one watching Fringe the new version of the X-Files?

No, not yet. We'll probably watch it the same way we got into Lost. We missed the whole first season of Lost. I rented a DVD of a couple episodes at Blockbuster, then a couple more, then went to Best Buy and bought the whole season which we ended up watching as a marathon. So, when Fringe becomes available we'll probably buy the set. For now we are staying well away from it.

in case you hadn't heard...Sayid, in 70s Dharma-land on Island, shoots young Ben Linus.
neat moment when Dharma takes him to some guy ('Oldham') living in a teepee on the edge of the compound. "Who's Oldham?" asks Sayid. "He's our you" replies Sawyer. nice line. they have him tied up and take him there and Oldham comes out...with a sugar cube and an eye dropper. Sayid spills the beans, even calling Sawyer by name, and when he admints 'I'm from the future' the Dharma people roll their eyes and Oldham says "next time I'll use half a dropper"; they get the truth and don't believe it.
Dharma Lives!!!
 
Is Ben dead? If Ben from the future shows up in 1977 won't that necesitate young Ben being dead because as the program is set up you have only one presence that shifts through time on the Island(?) Young Ben/old Ben is one Ben too many .
 
From what I've seen young Ben lives, so I think old Ben and maybe Sun never reach the 1977 loop. Young Ben has a mentally and physically abusive father and then gets shot by someone he trusts......could make you grow into a psychopath like Ben.
The Dharma drug guy was named Oldham and the sign (in Russian) on the building where Ben and Syid met said " Oldham Pharmaceuticals" .
 
Pretty sure young Ben will survive being shot, remember the island heals people, Locke for example.
 
On Ben being shot -- what trained hit man shoots someone once in order to kill them? Not even a head shot. Ben survives for sure.

That show jumped the shark a couple seasons ago. Now it's desperation time trying to find a plot line anyone can follow and any reason this show should continue.
 
we finds out tonight...hopefully.
The Island has given Locke his ability to walk, prevented his death when Ben shot him and dumped him in the mass Dharma grave, and now resurrects him when the Ajira plane crashed. once Smokey spared him (but once took him--I still can't figure that thing out).
maybe Young Ben has some protection that Old Ben won't. (Doesn't? time travel complicates the wording).
I wonder; will the Lostaways figure out a way to save Dharma from the Others? maybe co-exist? would be interesting if Locke gains authority and works with Sawyer/Lafleur...the Lostaways would be the ones in charge!
meanwhile, Faraday is still moling around somewhere...
