Bring out your dead!

[Jakester]

I'm re-watching the series, and I'm almost through S1.
When I started it, I was thinking about all of the people who have been killed off on the show, and how, with the exception of Charlie, I don't really miss anyone.

So, do you guys miss anyone?

[fastcar]

Eko.

I miss looking at Maggie Grace.

[Jakester]

Well, yeah, I like looking at Maggie Grace as well, but, for a change, I was being serious in that I really don't miss any of the characters that are gone. I was a bit bummed about Eko for a while, but he'd probably complicate the plot were he still alive, no?

[The Tyrant Virus]

I miss the poor little hobbit. That's about it really.

I'm sorta rewatching the series as well. Sorta. I finally bought seasons 1-3 when Amazon had a great deal, all 3 for 80 bucks I think. I'm currently on disc 3 of season 2. HOWEVER last week, I got my friend to lend me his X-Files as I had never watched that show before and really wanted to. So now I'm on disc 3 of season 2 of X-Files as well.

I also recently picked up season 2 of Supernatural and season 3 of Veronica Mars which I will have to watch at some point. Oh and Amazon's deal of the day today was the complete Stargate SG-1 set for $116. Yeah, less than $12 per season...I couldn't pass that one up. So I'm up to my ears in TV shows to watch. I hope to get through them all some time. Oh and I'm in the middle of seasons 3 of the Office and House as well. GUH.

[Jakester]

Amazon had the Buffy Chosen collection (all episodes + Bonus disc in that sweet box) for $86. I snapped it up and it sold out in 3 minutes.
Enjoy the X-files!

[Metuzalem]

I've kind of ground into a lethargy at season 4 disc 4 of the X-Files.

Anyway, regarding Lost, can't believe no-one misses Ethan as much as I do!

[mckracken]

back to Lost (cant you guys ever stay focused?)
i'm going to miss Jin. Without Jin, it'll be hard to watch Sun since they have been an item for such a long time...

[Jakester]

Jin's not dead!

[alaristhered]

Jin is dead. Jin is in itsy bitsy little Jin pieces. Don't forget, the actor had a DUI. That equals DEAD in Lost-world.

I miss Charlie, or rather, I miss his relationships with the other characters. Especially Hurley. On the plus side (no, I wasn't referring to Hurley's weight) when Charlie got killed it's when the friendship and respect between Sawyer and Hurley really blossomed, and I'm loving that.

[Jakester]

I know DDK got a DUI, but I still think we'll find that Jin is alive (maybe not well, but he's alive).

I liked Charlie/Hurley (Churley?) and Charlie/Desmond (Chesmond?) but, like you, I'm also digging Sawyer/Hurley (Sawley?).

Bah...time for a meeting.

[neglet]

Jin may be dead, but we could still see him in flashbacks with Sun. Or she could reminisce about being with Jin ... on the beach ... with his shirt off ...

Ahem, what was the question?

[Jakester]

I definitely get the girl love for Sawyer, and I can see it for Jin. I don't get Sayid.

There's lots of love for Hurley, but I never hear chicks swooning for him, sitting on the beach, all sweaty...with his shirt off.

[neglet]

Sayid is a big, beautiful man. What's to get? The producers of "Lost" have thoughtfully provided us with a Whitman sampler of male pulchritude. If one kind doesn't float your boat, there's others who probably do. Personally, I don't find Jack or Michael that appealing, although they're good-looking enough. Give me Jin, Sayid, or Sawyer any day. (And Eko when he was alive.)

[fastcar]

What? No love for Bernard?!?!?! He snagged up Rose. That takes a real man!


Several Lost cast members have had traffic-related violations in Hawaii, where Lost is filmed.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko) on Sept. 2, 2006 was arrested for disobeying a police officer and driving without a license.
On Dec. 1, 2005, Michelle Rodriguez (Ana-Lucia) and Cynthia Watros (Libby) were arrested for suspicion of drunken driving.
Harold Perrineau Jr. (Michael) was cited for having no car insurance during a traffic stop.
Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) was arrested on October 25 2007 in the early morning for DUI.
In the past two years, the following actors have been cited for speeding:
Josh Holloway (Sawyer) - 53mph in 35mph zone
Dominic Monaghan (Charlie)
Naveen Andrews (Sayid) - Twice
Ian Somerhalder (Boone)
Christian Bowman (Steve)


Steve, Sawyer, and Sayid are the only ones still alive, so far. However, it should be noted that Sawyer did get a turn in the coffin as a red herring. Then, again....so did Desmond.

[mckracken]

Hurlewyer

at least we had some closure to Sawyer's swimming back to the island before it moved... he's well... he's still on the island.

[alaristhered]

I do like the way that Charlie went out with some class. In the end, here he was, knowing he was going to drown, and his last thought was to warn Desmond and his friends about the boat. That's pretty amazing.

[sickness]

Does anyone else think Desmond could be anything but the "good" guy he's been written to be thus far? We saw his many visions for Charlie except the last one and they all were of pinpoint accuracy. Yet, the incident that actually kills him differs signifcantly in some respects from the way Des spelled it out (like when the flashing light comes into play, etc.) and flat-out does not occur in the described way in certain cases, particularly when it comes to Charlie's soft spot in Claire and Aaron? Claire is never even on the helicopter.

I don't trust Des one bit.

[mckracken]

Personally, I don't find ... Michael that appealing, ...


which piece of Michael?:lol:

[alaristhered]

Michael's not my type. Jack's okay, but just a little too classically handsome for my taste. I call that look "Offensively good looking." You know, kind of cookie cutter, not a lot of character.

Jin is very, verrrryyyy easy on the eyes. I would not kick Sawyer off of my own personal deserted island, either. However, Sayid is super super super hot. It's not just his looks, which are quite nice, thank you very much. He's got this seething, burning intensity that...excuse me, I need to be alone for a while.

Oh, and say what you want about Hurley, but if I could have just ONE of the castaways at a party, it'd be him, hands down. The writers, and the actor, have done a damn good job of making him the most appealing character, IMHO.

[Jakester]

Poor Hurley. All the girls like him, but none of the girls liiiike him.
I must be too straight to get the Sayid thing, I guess. All the girls lurrrrrve him.

[fastcar]

My wife is always on the fence when it comes to whether she thinks Kate should be with Jack or Sawyer. She likes them both but they exhibit the classical dichotomy of good guy vs. bad boy. However, they can easily be interchangeable in recent times.

Personally, I couldn't choose because I just don't have a man crush on either one.

[alaristhered]

Hey, my husband resembles Hurley more than he resembles Sayid. And although I'm no Maggie Grace, I ain't nothin' to sneeze at, either. So there is hope for Hurley to get him some girl action. But, man, when they killed Libby, that broke my heart - poor Hurley!

[Metuzalem]

See this proves how silly this show is. Hurley should be the most popular with the ladies (in the show).

Think about it, he's worth a gazillion dollars.

He should have supermodels hanging off him in every episode.

[Jakester]

No, sweetie, you definitely ain't (nuthin' to sneeze at). If you hung out in the Asylum more, Kah might start to get jealous.

[Metuzalem]

? :headscratch:

[Jakester]

That was directed at Red, not you, 'Tuz.

[Metuzalem]

Gotcha.

And so what if she got jealous. I'm sure we could settle things between the two of them in some sort of Jello pudding wrestling type situation.

[neglet]

That might be interesting if there were a jell-o pudding flavor that didn't look like a bodily fluid.

[Jakester]

Urine coloured lemon, poop coloured chocolate, and jizz coloured tapioca.
what about pistachio? It's sort of greenish.

[neglet]

Oh, yes, I want to see people wrestle in snot/pus-colored pudding.

<Gack.>

[Metuzalem]

Hmmm, thread started about the list of casualties in Lost.

Thread moves on to Red and Kah wrestling in vomit and pus.

Is it too early to say........

? :headscratch:


:lol:

[mckracken]

i expect nothing less from this group.

[alaristhered]

I don't wrestle. Wrestling involves physical exercize and I am the laziest MF you'll ever meet. If I was on that island, I would be all Maggie Grace - not in looks, mind you, but in attitude. Shut up and bring me my toe nail polish.

[sickness]

Women wrestling in jizz-colored tapioca? I love it!!!

[mckracken]

LOST is starting Mondays 7pm on Sci/fi channel.. even though it's not sci/fi.

[Jakester]

Time Travel? Smoke Monster? Teleportation? They're not sci-fi?

[mckracken]

of course not. dont be stupid.

[Jakester]

You're right. It's not like it's wrestling or anything.

[alaristhered]

LOL! Nice, Jakester. Way to bring the thread back full circle. Um, what were we talking about again?

As for something showing up on Sci Fi, as long as it's not Mansquito, then fine.

[Jakester]

Wow. I made Alaris laugh and not just shake her head in disgust. I should mark the day.
I expect that's it's just because of the impending dinner and sex that has her in such a good mood, though.

[Metuzalem]

I love the uses of the words "impending" and "sex" in that sentence :lol:

[alaristhered]

Jakester, hop over to the general Sci-Fi and Fantasy Board to look for my review of the restaurant. It was AWESOME. Can't help but wonder if PJ and the gang ever stopped by there on one of their sojourns to So Cal. Who knows, maybe he and del Toro will take a meeting there!

[Jakester]

Everything sounded fantastic, Al! Glad you enjoyed it. It sounds like a really cool place. How pricey was it? And...Dare I hold out hope for a pic of you in that purple dress?
Yes. There are now two active threads where I discuss my impure thoughts towards you.

[alaristhered]

Without tax and tip the price came to about $80 per person. Keep in mind that we stuck to the menu, didn't alter anything, and elected NOT to do a wine pairing, which would have cost extra. Even though $80 per sounds way expensive, I honestly feel that it was not overpriced and that we definitely got what we paid for. Champagne, hors d'ouvres, appetizer, fowl course, salad, sorbet, entree, and dessert for $80 per - I feel totally okay with that.

Oh, and the purple dress is actually pretty demure. I didn't want to shock the mostly over 40 crowd at this place - we're talking the O.C. which is known for rich, old Republicans, despite the recent TV show that tried to bust that image.

Next time I'll try the white dress, which makes All Love me And Despair.

[neglet]

I have a blue silk dress like that. I'm hoping that since Boy is at camp for our anniversary next week, the Mr. will take me somewhere nice where I can wear it. (And then he can rip it off me. Just like I'd imagine the Lost hunks might do, to get back on topic.)

[Jakester]

Wow, Al. I would've thought it was more expensive than that. I mean, $80/person isn't cheap, but for that type of experience, I think it's very reasonable.
Now I'm hungry.

Oh, and ladies, PICTURES! POST PICTURES! You know the Lost hunks read this forum. Seriously!

[alaristhered]

No need. Just do a Google image search for Maggie Grace, and that's pretty much what I look like. :-)

[Jakester]

I dunno....I thought you were cuter.

[alaristhered]

Flattery, my dear Jakester, will NOT get you off the island.

[Jakester]

Well, it's been so long since I've seen a pic! You could refresh my memory!

[alaristhered]

And ruin the picture perfect, time altered memory you have of me? Never! That would be cruel, along the lines of Ben showing Juliette her dead lover's body.

[Jakester]

Oh snap...you think you've got me...but I'll....I'll....I"ll think of something!

[alaristhered]

I dunno - so far, I don't see any brilliant ideas posted here.

[Jakester]

Yeah, my brain is stuck with a mental image of you posed and smiling, waiting for the BSG DVD release. And, um....yeah, I won't go into any more detail, except to say that I'm glad my office door has a lock.

[mckracken]

NOT ONLY IS ANNA LUCIA BACK FROM THE DEAD, BUT DANIEL DAY KIM IS SIGNED ON FOR THE ENTIRE 5th SEASON!!!!!!!!

:lol: YAY!!!!!!:lol:
he's probably still going to remain dead....I cant see his character among the living unless he's hanging with Desmond.

also...
French chick Danielle Roussou will have her flashbacks explained (eventually/finally! (from beyond the grave??!!!) :lol:

[alaristhered]

What, what, WHAT? State your source! Are these rumors, or honestly spoilers? This could be good.

[Jakester]

I knew right after the end of last season that
DDK was not dead.
Now, Rodriguez back means that we can make more AnaL jokes.
Hasn't Darlton said that they wanted to do a Rousseau flashback?

[mckracken]

What, what, WHAT? State your source! Are these rumors, or honestly spoilers? This could be good.

well apparantly I'd missed this, there are two co-workers who are LOST fans in my department at work that were talking about Daniel Day Kim's being signed for the 5th season... his position (at least temporarily) is that he is still a regular cast member, but because this was my co-workers, i'm taking it as truth but it cant be verified with a source.

as for "that darned french chick" her back story has never been explained, Danielle never even got ONE flashback before she and Alex bit the bullet... i dont know how but to be fair she's almost like a series regular yet her back story never got told... why?

again, office co-worker talk, not a definant "announced" spoiler but one i'd take as truth... her story might not roll out this season, it might be 6th season but I'm going with my gut they'll find some character to tell Danielle's backstory....either that or she's not dead and she completely lied about her island origins to the LOSTIES.

[mckracken]

i've also noticed that all the flashbacks that we have been shown are truthful flashbacks of past events.

Ben, the only character that got a flashback that lied about his origins, his flashbacks were of REAL past events and not images that he'd fabricated.

as with Danielle, it's entirely possible that because her "Island Origin story" is a lie or cover-up, thy have not shown us any real Danielle flashbacks yet because they dont want to let her REAL TRUE story unravel till much later on.

[alaristhered]

One thing I enjoy about the flashbacks is the "honesty" inherent in them. We get to see these people without the airs and attitudes that they use to protect themselves while on the island.

[mckracken]

perhaps the Danielle backstory will finally be revealed once the Oceanic 6 all return to the island at Ben's advice... perhaps Danielle was originally part of a group that escaped the island and she and her group was actually RETURNING to the island (at Ben's advice?) caught a virus and they all died except for her.

Could it be that her story of 16 survival years on the Island werent all sequential? That she escaped for some years, and was drawn back to the island?

[alaristhered]

I dunno...that sounds kind of doubtful to me. Danielle certainly would have told the Losties if she got off the island. Or, at least, would have told them that it was futile to TRY to get off.

[mckracken]

well think about it, Danielle did say she knew nothing of anything. no knowledge of DHARMA or the PURGE or any life on the island at all, just that their was a radio tower and her child was stolen by "the voices" but prior to running into Jack and Sayid she had never seen another living soul on the island for 16 years...she suspected that somebody was on the island but never saw anyone.

[alaristhered]

I'm Lost. Pun intended. When and how did she meet Ben? Did Ben just snatch Alex and never even communicate with Danielle? Or is Danielle a big fat liar? Make that a big, fat, DEAD liar.

[mckracken]

one of Danielle's net-traps caught Ben (or was that deliberate?) and she was the first to find him and he was using an assumed name (from Wizard of oz) a few seasons back when they first introduced his character.

[alaristhered]

That's right! I totally forgot that was their very first meeting. Makes sense, that she never knew him beforehand, although she did instantly start saying that he was an Other.
