Lost
Yeah, Season 3.
Critics started to bash the show a bit due to the "Season 3 - Part 1" concept. They ran something like 7-8 episodes straight in the fall and then took a long break until recently before running the next 20 or so in a row right into the finale.
People complained about the break (a very unique and interesting complaint) and the fact that the majority of the first part of season 3 was spent, without spoiling anything, on a certain area and ignored other areas.
Still, they can't be complaining now. Wednesday's episode was kick ass and was all about Locke. This isn't a spoiler because you know they were going to tell the tale, but they finally revealed how he got into his wheelchair, so you've got that to look forward to. I actually love the way they've teased it in previous episodes. Very subtle, but each Locke flashback episode has had moments where it could have occurred, but didn't...until now.
By the way, I'm getting pretty impressed with the acting on the show. Some of the people are really stepping up their game and seem to know their characters even better.

“Every record been destroyed or falsified, books rewritten, pictures repainted, statues, street building renamed, every date altered. The process is continuing day by day. History stops. Nothing exists except endless present in which the Party is right.”
Reminder: No Spoilers
By the way, for the second week in a row, last night's Lost was fantastic.
Totally off beat and nowhere near the central storyline, but still able to wrap together and resolve some dangling plot threads.
Kudos to the writers for having the guts to end the episode the way they did.

I disagree.
Last night's episode was my least favorite.
It was about two brand new characters that I never cared about.
It did give backing to the "they're all killers" theory, but there wasn't much good stuff.
There were so many unnecessay scenes just show that those characters were there the entire time.
"Hey Juliette. Let's go all the way out to the Pearl to watch the TV screen for 15 seconds. Then I'll leave one of the few items that we always carry with us at all times."
'Twas crap.

Time Travel? When did he time travel? I must have missed something because I don't remember him time traveling at all.
P.S. THESE ARE OBVIOUS SPOILERS! In other words, we should be discussing this stuff in a spoiler thread, not in this non-spoiler thread.

These are things that happened weeks ago. I don't consider it a spoiler if it happened last month.
Maybe I shouldn't even mention Desmond, because then you'd know there was a person in the hatch that Locke and Boone find.
If you haven't caught up, don't read. If I miss tonight's show I sure as heck won't click on this thread until I've caught up.
I consider spoilers to be theories and outside information about who's going to die, who's been fired, what you think/know/heard will occur in future episodes, info you stumbled onto about future plots, etc. Episodic television threads shouldn't be given the same spoiler guidelines as movies.
Maybe we should have Gordon the Great make a ruling on this. Man... I wish I hadn't posted that picture of his bed now.
As for Desmond's time travel... Desmond didn't physically time travel last month, but part of his mind did. If the hatch implosion just gave him the ability to see flashes of the future I'd agree that there wasn't necessarily time travel involved. But the repercussions of that implosion went back in time. Desmond lived his life without seeing any flashes of the future. Then he lived a chunk of his life over again, with full knowledge of his old time line as if it had already happened.

Sorry, about that. The Desmond thing happened several months ago. I got caught up in trying to find out if I was correct about the old woman.Leisher wrote:Time Travel? When did he time travel? I must have missed something because I don't remember him time traveling at all.
