'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
The writers on LOST completely do not grok the concept of triangulation.
You know, Betsy, I didn't even stop to think about that, but you're right. It's how a number of different forms of navigation work, Loran being one that comes to mind since my cousin was a Coastie.
Well, I know we have some real engineers around here; I'm just a half-assed CS major.
Was I the only one who shouted, "Inhale!"
Go Smackhead!Betsy!
I just watched my tape, but I am so tired right now that I'm just going to crash without comment. Except ... I am so setting up a comfy chair in Beverly's I Like Sawyer corner. There are levels there; I'm sure of it. Plus the pretty. MmmHmmm.
More tomorrow for me. Eyes shutting now ...
You don't need three sites. You need two. And you don't find out if the object is inside the triangle, you create a triangle formed by the two sites and the emitter.
I totally thought of this tonight, but got caught up in the story and completely blanked on it.
Sigh. Some former Boy Scout.
But it can be done with three.
I was also puzzled by him saying it had to be within the triangle, tho. It wouldn't matter, as by using the relative strengths of the three points, one could conceivably work out where a source is within or outside of the area.
It was DH's first episode of lost. Not a good introduction. too anvilly. but DH did note that the guitar - was an Ovation. Often known as a 'canoe paddle' in the guitar world. hard to destroy, and in a pinch... though I found the story predictable, I enjoied it despite the anvils. must be the actor.
locke as loki -- really good idea.
ad charlie - crawling out of the cave - just to push the metaphor at little further;a christ -like action. I thik in this case Charlie took on his brother's sins
The writers have been playing fast and loose with the technical details of aviation, radio communication, and medicine since the first episode. Acknowledging that the way the plane came apart made it most unlikely that any one would survive is the first indication I've noticed that the "errors" may be deliberate. Intriguing....
I was kind of meh on the episode over all. I like Dom a lot, and the character, but somehow his backstory left me kind of cold. There were some nice points though. I like Michael getting to step forward and be useful. I liked the Steve and Scott scene, especially since it was a total throw away, and we didn't see them in the cave. I especially liked the look between Michael and Sun after Walt asked if they could live in the cave.
Lee speaks for me. Dom was great but Charlie's story bored me a bit, since it was pretty clear where it was going.
Sawyer still pretty, though, and he definitely has that Viggo thing working for him. But more dimples.
DIMPLES.
Next week looks interesting. I miss getting a Mejia of the previews. Speaking of which, where is Jeff? Is he around anymore?
