Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR  

[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Some thoughts on Lost:

- I'm thinking that was a different plane that Jack found near the water.

- Jack wasn't supposed to survive the pilot episode, originally.

- Charlie seems only mildly addicted to whatever he was addicted to.

- Reading elsewhere, I found out some people hate Hurley. Huh.

- Where does the water go? does it make it to the ocean? hmmm.

- They've been there six days, and no one has decided/proposed to try walking around the perimiter of the island.

- No Gilligan jokes amongst the survivors? C'mon. I'd be making them. I want Kate to say "Okay, but I'm not making any coconut cream pies." Might be a licensing issue, I guess. Pity.

I thought they weren't supposed to do re-runs. It's supposed to end when Alias starts, or something. I think that's one of the reasons I was attracted to this show, besides the whole surreal thing.

They are not so much rerunning as repeating. A technicality, true, but they are still having new episodes in the series regular slot.

I wouldn't mind that. It sort of makes sense, too. Like 24, which never ever did reruns either (not counting rebroadcasts on FX).

Both are series where, though it's difficult for new viewers to come in part way through a season, it would be even more confusing to watch rerun episode all out of order. The order is sort of vital (though not quite as vital as it is for 24).

Daniel, I think she was commenting on my question, wondering when the series will do it's first season break and give us reruns.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

They do seem to have been oddly passive for having been there for 6 days. I think I would have been setting up a shelter, figuring out what plants could be eaten... all kinds of things they don't seem to be doing.

And yup, what Sean said, the re-runs thing.

I'm just making a point to bring along my Worst Case Scenario Handbook whenever I fly. Just in case.

I've noticed this too, and I'm wondering if this will tie in to everything going down on the island.

Locke organizing the hunt was the first real survivalist move they've made.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think the lack of doing anything like setting up shelter (other than the medical "tent') and being disorganized may be a plot device, so that Jack could come in at the end of the last ep and be all leaderly.

Sayid did try, at one point, to get people organized, asking people to divide into three groups, for water, electronics and food searching, but that seems to have been dropped.
