Lost

[Beagleone]

Okay, I throw this out to y'all. What did you think about the Lost season premiere last night (1/21/09)?

[Mugen910]

Kept me screaming out:

"WTF!"

"Aww shiet!"

[dunng]

Crazy! But I'm hooked again...

I enjoyed it, I just hope it doesn't take them all season to get back to the island and we have to watch "jumps" all season.

The series is about to lose its credibility if Faraday is correct about the "rules" of time travel. By saying that Sawyer can't get Desmond's attention at the hatch because it never happened in the past, he's saying that the world can't be interacted with in ways that didn't originally happen.

So in other words, Sawyer wouldn't be able to walk because he wouldn't be able to create friction between his foot and the grains of sand beneath them. he wouldn't be able to breathe because he wouldn't be able to use molecules in the air. He wouldn't be able to start a fire or eat food.

Either Faraday is wrong, or the show jumped the shark (cliche phrase, but, yknow.)

Damn it, I hope the DVR recorded it....I totally forgot it started up.

That, and I thought this was the new season: http://www.islandreefjob.com/#/en

Wow!!! You put a lot of thought into this!

I thought that it answered a few questions but then created more questions... just like every other episode!!!

BTW - Can anyone imagine Dr. Samuel Beckett (Scott Bakula) showing up in some episode saying, "WTF!!!"

Ziggy would tell him to get Juliette's t-shirt all wet. Is she the finest thing walking or what? I'm not even into blondes but the broad is a stone cold fox.

Regarding time travel rules, if Faraday was saying "you can't do that" as hyperbole based on ethics, it's fine. So if he was saying You have the DUTY not to do that, that's fine. But the way he worded it, to me anyway, sounded like he was saying it literally would not be a possibility for Sawyer to get Desmond to answer the door. Which sets the show up to shoot itself in the foot.

Btw I'm not trying to downplay how rad the show is. I started watching Lost cuz this girl I was into was all about it. The girl is long gone but I'm still hooked on Lost.

Thank goodness for the DVR cuz I would have missed it. I guess I'll have to catch it tonight or over the weekend.

[white_s2k]

Really like the season premiere. I was starting to lose interest in the show last season, but I'm liking the direction they are taking now.

[dannysguitar]

I initially thought it was the lady at the jewlery shop (and at the catholic convent), but she looked alot different in this episode.

BTW, this episode was EPIC.

**Edit**
Lostpedia says it was that lady.

[MikeyC]

I thought it was a great episode.

Still plenty of questions to answer and I look forward to seeing them answered. Like why does darpa keep dropping food if all their people are dead?

I also enjoyed the episode. I'm hooked once again!! This is the only program that my wife and I actually sit on the couch and watch together. (but if she asks me, What their doing?, What's going on?, Who is that? one more time I swear I'm gonna.....)

[ucla695]

Great way to kick off the season. There's a lot of cool stuff happening with the people on the island traveling back and forth through time. Interesting way to reveal the history about the island. I look forward to next week's show.

the time travelling is jumping the shark, too bad, I loved the show.

Time travel is about the onlydirection this show could go-and I love it! Anything to do with time travel is fun to watch.

If you didn't think the show "jumped the shark" when they revealed the monster was a column of black smoke, I don't see why you would feel that way when the characters start time travelling.
