Lost

He knows.  He\'s just making a joke about our Samwise here on the boards and his hankering for baby meat.

I want to like the show, but I get upset thinking that it is turning into a never-ending soap opera.  

It dangles the carrot of an answer to it all, but only creates more questions.

 

Kind of like  pharmecutical companies, they\'ll find a way ot ease those symptoms, but there isn\'t much money to be made with the cure.

The Lost has been one of the best shows on TV IMO, If the writers were to solve the mystery sooner, well that just means less advertising $$$ for the network.

There going to milk Lost until they can not wring another dime out of it. Eventually the storyline will get bogged down by its own heavy weight, and the show will then come to its end.

How long this takes is on the writers shoulders, clever writing can keep this thing going for a decade. Crappy writing could have us seeing the finale by end of next season.

So far they seem to be placing clues and new plotlines into the show in creative fashion. The show still seems to break some new ground, but I agree it is starting to become monetenous at points

charlie was not samwise, he played, merry

Locke has this mysterious connection with the island, and he likes it thee. He doesn;t want to leave.

The Others, have been there for a long time, and they too do not seem to mind being there.

Locke likes the island, the others like the island. Locke has "abilites" that seem come from the island, The Others seem to be able to use the island ot their advantage in a similiar fashion.


My theory is, Locke is detined to be an Other. Somehow someway, Locke is going to sympathize withthe Others, try to understand them, and then conclude that this is what the island wants for him.

I liked the line when hurly and the blond gal were washing the clothes about the newness of the washer and dryer.  That was definitely thrown in for all the nuts on the internet who are analyzing this show.

Videoholic: Yeah, and it\'s not the first time the writers have acknowledged fans. I like that about this show.

The last episode was booooooooooraz (filler).. I hope the next one has more to offer.

Anyone know how many seasons they are planning?

[videoholic]

I can\'t imagine they will be able to keep this cast together for more than 4 seasons.  It\'s just too many people to pay a lot of money to.  THey will need to start killing some off soon just to meet budget.

What is everybody\'s problem with filler episodes?

Every great "continuity" show has had them. Why not Lost?

The problem is other story driven arcs can throw in an unrelated episode, like in Babylon 5 or something, but in Lost, if they thrown in an episode and it doesn\'t answer major plotline questions, they end up introducing more mysteries and things to figure out later anyways.  It\'s not so easy to throw in a filler episode with such a limited setting/cast.

You\'re stating the obvious. I\'m still missing the problem.

You don\'t want obvious answers, don\'t ask obviously answered questions.

Lost should plan out it\'s full story arc now, 4-5 seasons, and stick to it like glue, if they want to make sure they don\'t get too far out there, introduce too much filler and crap, and don\'t box themselves into a corner.
