Welcome all those that stay up late and absolutely have to watch the E4 episode.

So.............. what did you think to the island curing Rose and Locke eh?

Ooh ooh ooh haven't seen the E4 episode, but it's sooo exciting. Watched the C4 one at 10pm, and what does it mean that Libby was in the same hospital as Hurley? Is she not who she says she is?

And why have they not just Killed Henry and have done with it? He makes my skin crawl btw!

How can you remember what Zeke looks like?

[noseymum]

Zeke was in Maternity leave episode talking to Ethan. You could tell by his voice it was the same guy as the one when Kate was captured. (He was 'in disguise' with a beard in that one)

[FourJays]

Maybe I should stop watching E4 one. Clearly too tired to concentrate.....

[noseymum]

Fourjays

You could always tape it like I do then watch next day.

Just thought we could be seeing a bit more of how the survivors actually... survive. Even if you can accept that nobody has been majorly traumatised by the plane crash (a big leap in itself) they all seem to have got "comfy" very quickly - a fact which the scriptwriters seem to have pointed out through Bernard this (E4) week (using that old scriptwriting technique "quit before you are fired"). Locke was Chief Boar-Hunter and was training Boone, although they seemed to spend most of their time using it as a cover for getting the Hatch open. So who does the boar-hunting now that Boone is dead and Locke is down the hatch most of the time? Until they got the Dharma food-drop, there was little evidence of decent eating going on. From scenes like the poker-game it's evident they are ramming home the idea that mangoes and so on are abundant, but they can't just keep eating fruit, and fruit doesn't... er, well, yes, it does grow on trees, but you know what I mean.

For this reason I thought "The Other 48 Days" was one of the best episodes so far, as we actually got a sense of people living dangerously. It was very economically-scripted as well.

One thing which I thought would start to annoy me is the way we always focus on about 14-15 of the survivors (and an "Alpha Group" of 6 or so within that), but - if you can accept that the group has become a community - this is in fact exactly the way things would happen. It's the way in any group of peple thrown together, from an office to Big Brother to parents at a schoolgate - the "in-crowd" knows what's going on and uses this to give themselves superiority. Kate, as Alpha Female on the island, is understandably miffed when Jack hasn't let her in on the Henry secret, which is why she holds back the info about the "hospital bunker" - until he "let her back in the club" as she put it, another acknowledgement by the scriptwriters that they're pre-empting viewers' criticisms.

What's also interesting about this programme is that the dynamic between the viewers and the characters is different from just about every other drama series - normally, a year in our lives is a year in theirs, so as we get to know the characters in DesperateHousewives or Babylon5 a bit better, so they learn to known and trust each other at the same rate. The characters in Lost have known each other for two months, so we as viewers, having known them nearly two years now (okay, just over a year in the UK) feel we know them better than they do each other - this, I think, is part of the point of the flashbacks, to create a complicity between viewer and character rather than directly to advance character "development" in the traditional sense. On the island, they are all still technically acquaintances - so there is still that edginess and uncertainty about exactly who to trust. That sometimes takes them out of the "comfort zone" mentioned above.

bloody hell unquietdad........... that's a bit deep for a Friday morning don't you think? lol

However, of course I concur with your findings. lol

But I do hope that this indepth analysis of LOST will not cause the demise of the BB version that you provide each Wednesday.

[themoon66]

How they are actually managing to feed themselves always makes me wonder too. As you say, the boar hunting never came to anything, so have they been living on mangos alone? Also the scene where whatsername made Hurley set himself free from his eating disorder by throwing food away was so ridiculous when others clearly need food.

[UnquietDad]

Don't know if I'll keep doing it - might labour the joke a bit!!

Oh, I first wrote all that in an email to a friend and fellow Lost fan last night. Cut-and-paste is your friend.

[MarsLady]

Well I'm gonna cut and paste and send it to my friend now lol

Labour the joke............ oh no unquietdad.... not yet!
