Lost 2: Tied to a Tree in a Jungle of Mystery  

[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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Heh--from Entertainment Weekly Online's Lost recap article:

You are now free to post liberally on the combined hotness of Sun and Jin, the separate but equal hotnesses of Sun and Jin, and the improbability of anyone cheating on DDK.

And:

Meanwhile, back at the Hatch, there's another pair in need of couple's counseling: Jack and Locke. Their little scene in the steamy bathroom had a sparky marital charm to it. Jack pops out of the shower to find Locke shaving. (''Opens up m'pores.'') Locke immediately starts in with the undercutting, knowing there's no better time to razz a man than when he's naked. Ol' John probably turned down the thermostat, too, just to shrink his opponent into submission (a tactic that's straight from Sun Tzu's The Art of War, chapter 5: ''Kitchens and Bathrooms'').

Everybody thinks they've got the answers in this ep, but questions abound: Who does fly with a pregnancy test, anyway? And where exactly did Sawyer find it? What's Widmore Laboratories, the company that makes the test? According to a Lost podcast from producer Damon Lindelof, there was a sign for Widmore Construction in the background of a scene in ''Fire + Water'' a few weeks ago — what gives? Is it an extension of the Alvar Hanso-Dharma empire? What exactly is Sayid building, with Charlie as his labor force? (Looks like a big bamboo lattice, suitable for straining the giant tea leaves you need to read the future in this crazy show.)

Our wings are not tired.

Finally watched. Delighted that it was a Sun/Jin episode. The irregular schedule really ruins the flow of the show for me. I think I would enjoy it more in marathon viewing.

Yeah. I believe Sun. There was no reason to tell Jin what the doctor said if she had been messing around with cutie English tutor.

Henry is so wonderfully creepy. I liked when Locke was more creepy and less annoying. Don't know if he is Other, or just nuts. Could go either way.

Sad that Charlie's character is not entertaining.

Sad that I don't really have much to say. Yeah, it would flow better in marathon viewing.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I didn't remember the first season being this chopped up, but it probably was. Now I understand why so many people were put off that first season. I've loaned out my season 1 DVDs three times so far and people loved the hell out of it because they could watch it all at once and it hangs together so much better. I'm starting to think it almost might be more worth it to not even watch the rest of the season and just wait for the DVDs in September.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There was no reason to tell Jin what the doctor said if she had been messing around with cutie English tutor.

There was no reason regardless, as far as I'm concerned. It's a miracle island baby either way, right? So why even make him suspicious?

Charlie is such a tool, but I had to laugh when he barged in with breakfast for Ana and Sayid. Once a hobbit, always a hobbit I guess.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

In random speculation, I'm going to say that Hurley owns a share of the Dharma Co. and Widmore.

Also, Mr. J and I thought the hobbit bringing second breakfast was a total shout out to LotR.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You could probably put coconut milk on your Dharma-Os.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

It's very annoying, but my Lost this week was broadcast in Spanish ... and there's no way I can keep up with this stuff in Spanish. But the closed captioning was in English, so I got most of it. yay?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Did you check your SAP on your VCR & TV both? Maybe they got switched on accidentally & you could undo it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

From ages ago

Hands up everyone who responded to "...and I am a torturer" with "Hi, Sayid!"

Yup. Out loud and everything.

Caught Bride and Prejudice on cable this weekend. Sayid as "The Indian M.C. Hammer" - quite the cognitive disconnect.

But fun.
