No, they were ordering drinks and checking the overhead compartments for their carry-on luggage just moments before their death in horrible circumstances. Either that, or reading the in-flight magazine, scratching their heads and saying, "F*ck, I should have went to Tahiti instead."wco81 wrote:And nobody on the plane looked out the left side when the plane was breaking up and it was passing over the village?
You might want to pay attention when you watch the next episode.wco81 wrote:Oh come on, she did not knock him out with one punch.
Jack was about ready to pass out from lack of food and dehydration anyway, when he was punched in the face after the intense struggle to seal the door.That's what they said last year too, when the butch Latina knocked out Sawyer. Also Kate has knocked down guys too. Lot of dehydration on that island.Feanor wrote:You might want to pay attention when you watch the next episode.wco81 wrote:Oh come on, she did not knock him out with one punch.
You really come up with some weird complaints about this show. People whose plane is crashing and burning should all be lined up at the windows checking out the scenery? Dear oh dear.
Holy f*ck: It's a fictional TV drama, not a documentary. It's meant to entertain, not chronicle. It's a f*cking fantasy-science fiction-adventure fictitious program, not a Ken Burns epic.wco81 wrote:That's what they said last year too, when the butch Latina knocked out Sawyer.

Well, the last time I was in a burning plane going down, I was in the fetal position, saying Hail Marys. What were you doing the last time you were in a 767 that was in flames and going down?wco81 wrote:Not lined up at the windows, but just as the people on the island ran out of their homes looking around, you don't think anyone would look around try to get their bearings? They're only going to look straight ahead, not one paying attention to where they are or where they might be headed?
This island could use a few Rovers! Eat maybe 75% - 80% of the cast!Slumberland wrote:I loved that opening... this show reminds me more and more of The Prisoner, and that's a good thing, in my eyes.
Ah, very good connection, Brando. Never thought of that one!Brando70 wrote:"The bears figured it out in 2 hours" was a nice joke, too. With the zoo aspect introduced, maybe that explains the polar bear?
Are you saying that a women couldn't knock a man out? I've know a few "girls" that would probably kick the crap out of a man The one punch knockout is a staple of TV and movies, but on Lost a show drapped in Sci-fi it is not acceptable?wco81 wrote: That's what they said last year too, when the butch Latina knocked out Sawyer.

I enjoy "complaining" about it and eliciting reactions such as yours from the fans.Danimal wrote:Anyway this is episode 1 of season 3, do we have to endure another full year of you watching a show and complaining about it? I can't for the life of me figure out why you waste your time watching this show you so clearly don't enjoy.
I believe it was "mama said knock you out", not mama actually doing the dirty work.Brando70 wrote: It happens so much, LL Cool J wrote a song about it
Yeah, but that's not realistic.Slumberland wrote:There's always the possibility the Mr. Cool J's mama was talking directly to HIM. As in...
"I'm gonna knock you out," mama said. "Knock you out."
...in which LL is relaying a story of intra-familial violence in third person, in which his mother repeats the threat for effect. Perhaps the music necessitated the cadence by which its implied that he's commanded to do violence to another man (or woman) on behalf of his mother, masking Ladies Love Cool J's true intent (and internal anguish).
It was a catchphrase used by Jack's father several times. It was also how Sawyer realized that it was Jack's dad that he saw on his bender in Oz.wco81 wrote:Didn't one of the characters snark in Season 2 about the Red Sox never winning the WS?
Well, it seems obvious (as it would to the characters) that it's not like the Others would volunteer any answers. Jack basically asked this last week and this, and received ambiguous answers ("Who we were isn't important, all that matters is who we are now." and "I've lived on this island my whole life and I have the power to get you home" essentially).Diablo25 wrote:I am getting a bit annoyed when the characters NEVER ask the "Others" what the hell is going on...what is their purpose...if they aren't the enemy, who the hell are they?

In the last two weeks this has been asked a few times. Along with many other questions I would expect to hear from the captives.Diablo25 wrote:I am getting a bit annoyed when the characters NEVER ask the "Others" what the hell is going on...what is their purpose...if they aren't the enemy, who the hell are they?

Not me. So far, what has actually happened? Hmm, the Others have captured the boat, Sun shot Trixie from Deadwood, and . . . Sawyer ate a fish biscuit? Really, nothing much has happened in terms of plot; some has been revealed in terms of exposition about the Others, but beyond that unless I missed something, not much has happened. These three were captured at the end of last season, and they're still captured now.Danimal wrote: Either way I've felt a lot more satisifed with the first two episodes in terms of moving the sotry then i did much of last year.
