The series "Lost" (page 2)

I like that series. I saw an interview with the producers and writters and basically, they are making it up as they go.

It has yet to be definitely explained how the groups of Widmore, Dharma, and the Others relate to each other. Although at this point it does seem that the Others were the Hostiles mentioned in a recent episode. In other words, they were hostile to the Dharma Initiative. Are the Others a group that was there before Dharma, after Dharma, or are they a subset of Widmore and some Dharma people who wanted out? Are the Others all from Widmore Industries? We don't know the specifics of these 3 groups yet, but these are some theories.

This is part of what I'm most interested in. I recall an episode or two back that someone, maybe it was "Patchie", the one that pretended to be the last Dharma, was really a Hostile, and got his brain turned into jelly for all his help, who said the Hostiles had been there way before the Dharma Initiative got there.

Perhaps... they're philosophical descendants of the original inhabitants? Remember that four-toed statue?

There is an interesting theory here:

Here is my theory of the Others vs. Dharma people. The Others are decendants of Adam and Eve, who were on the Black Rock when it shipwrecked there. The only skeletons we found on the ship were of some who were shackled, and I think just one other one who was guarding the TNT. I think that shipwreck, Magnus Hanso being captain of that ship, caused a "Swiss Family Robinson" cenerio [sic] and that is why we see the houses and their "town". When Alvar went looking for Magnus' wreckage, he discovered the island and that is how Dharma got involved, but generations had already been developed on the island, thus Ben being there his whole life. Plus, other people have come accidentally to the island, and have either died because of it, or become one of them. I think when Alvar found the island and decided to set it up as testing facilities, he couldn't have known about the Others. I don't know, but it makes sense to me that the Black Rock started all the civilization there. Maybe the 4-toed statue is just from a native culture that lived there 100's of years before the Black Rock arrived.

Interesting ideas...

BTW, welcome to JWD!!

Ok, WTF was with last night's ep? An entire ep about two characters nobody gives a damn about.

"Who the hell's Nikki?"... indeed.

Well, I love love love Lost but last night's episode blew.

The dialogue was horrid and stretched at best. The characters did not even seem recognizable from the dialogue. It was stilted, out of character and they tried to pump too much information into the dialogue. The featured characters were hard to give a crap about and it answered nothing.

I followed Abram's Alias for a long time and love his overall premise--he makes you question who/what is "good" who or what is "evil" adn what about all those shades of grey between?

But I've got to have good writing.

a box that gives you what ever you want
suddenly when I read that...things started to make sense.....it must be where ''freckle's'' horse and that white polar bear, and that old abandoned car...and the other ''hallucinations'' that the main characters see in the jungle come from. It must be because it's what they want to see. Lock wanted to walk again, the island made that happen...as for charlie almost dying all the time....maybe he will die? if that guy (sorry cant remember his name) cant prevent it....anyways, been interesting watching it...

Can anyone say 'Deus Ex Machina'? The writers will be taking a lame way out if this is the case.

I think last night ep shows that the writers have been thinking ahead when writing the series. Notice how seamless Nikki and Paulo's story fits with episodes shot over the past 3 years.

I loved the first season of Lost. The second season they introduced so many characters that it became so convuluted it was silly. I wish they would go back and deal with the original cast. I miss them, they seem to only be given now very little time on screen. I think it is the reason their ratings have gone way down from the first season. JMO

My guess, and that's all it is, is that they intended to have some storyline with those two characters, but that fans complained so much about them that they decided to scrap it and just slam it all into one ep and kill them off.

In checking out various spoiler sites just now, it looks like some interesting events are going to take place, but I have to say that I am about done with the entire series.

Someone just let me know when it's over.

Last night's episode could have been dropped. It did not really advance the storyline. I hope they don't have more of this.

I thought this as well Blondie, until I realized the writers may be trying to show us they are not making this up as they go. It seems that the behavior of Nikki and Paulo on the island has been carefully scripted to lead us to this episode.

Last night was the biggest waste of an evening I ever saw. We felt this woman actress probably screwed one of the producers with the promise that she could be on the show for a couple episodes. Completely stupid!!!!
