i am addicted to this show! can't wait for it to start back up again!

Same here. The season ender left a lot of possibilities. The raft got pirated. The vault in the ground was about to be opened.

the vault WAS opened and all you saw were stairs leading down.....am really worried about walt...

I guess you call it a vault. It looks like a big concrete fallout shelter. Does it contain a whole underground world like in the old Forbidden Planet movie? I hope so.

Sept 21, Wednesday is the premiere!!

wtf

Anyone watch episode 1? Reaction?

i did....it's really messing with my theories! at first, i thought the guy in the arena was an angel, but why would an angel need shots? i know the outer part of his shaft/cave is quarantined but from what? y'know?

The Laws of the Jungle By LORNE MANLY ON "Lost," one of last season's most successful series, some four dozen plane crash survivors confronted a Pacific island infused with mystery. A monster devoured a pilot. A polar bear rampaged through the jungle. An enigmatic paraplegic could walk again. The first season ended last May with dual cliffhangers: two characters peered down a hatch they had found, only to be greeted by the spooky darkness of an unending vertical shaft, while another group of characters, attempting an escape by raft, were thwarted by scary strangers who sailed off with a child. But the biggest puzzle the producers of "Lost" face as they enter their second season this Wednesday may well be how to avoid alienating the audience that has made it one of ABC's first water-cooler hit dramas in more than a decade. The creators of shows like "Lost" - serialized dramas steeped in their own elaborate mythologies - face a dilemma. Audiences compulsively desire, even demand, answers. But reveal too much, too soon, and they might just bolt, as "Twin Peaks" discovered in the early 1990's.Or dole out only tiny hints about how the pieces fit together, and viewer obsession can curdle into frustration or even disdain, as happened in the latter years of "The X-Files." "If you get to the point where you're just vamping," said Mark Frost, who created "Twin Peaks" with the filmmaker David Lynch, "just to withhold the trump card about the central mystery, you will start to see the series slipping." "An audience will put up with being toyed with for only so long," he added. "But if the audience responds to the characters, the rest will take care of itself."

we finally get to see "the others" and i'm a might bit disappointed.....of course, maybe it'll be different than what i'm thinking when the episode airs next week. and, in preseason talk, i heard that a couple more characters are being introduced, guess Desmond is one of them. the AM thinks he is an angel but...did anyone catch the part where he says to jack "see you in a next life" or was it some kind of customary salutation? and what's up with the song that the dude keeps playing, it's like he's stuck in the 70's (oooooh, that could be another theory)..... did you guys see what was on the shark's tail? the emblem desmond has on his overalls and all over the equipment in his shelter.

I haven't figgered out the Desmond thing, what's up with Desmond? Yeah, stuck in the 70s. Though it's still cool to have vinyl records.

well, desmond, when he met jack, was training to race around the world. maybe he ended up on the island too because of a plane crash or something but that wouldn't make any sense--he's totally stocked up on everything! did you see the hash marks on his walls of counting days (like cartoon prisoners do)?

Yeah, I saw those. How can can he hold off the masses? Why can't he be nicer about sharing his pad ?

do you remember when sayeed found the french woman? do you remember the metal cord he found that went off into the ocean on one end and then into the jungle on the other? i've wondered why he didn't try to see what it connected to in the ocean. and in desmond's bunker, how does he have all that electricity? and what is up with plugging in the bad luck numbers? oh, in mike's flashback to giving up custody of walt, did you catch that it was a polar bear stuffed animal he was trying to give the boy?

didja'll catch it tonight? so are those the others? i dont' think so anymore--i think they're just the folks who were from the other part of the plane and they think Jack and crew are the others. we have the answers about desmond too--he was on a race and crashed there, saved by one of the scientists who unwittingly drew him in on the plan to push buttons for years and years! the AM thinks there's another button to be pushed and that's why the real others wanted to take the baby and succeeded taking Walt. they need a young person to keep pushing the button. ok, so what's up with the book that Locke moved to get to the film? did you catch the full title? something about a screw in time or something? i think they're in the bermuda triangle (because of the strong electromagnetism mentioned in tonight's episode). but i'm still not attaching the numbers to anything. and Jack is going to have to face up to the fact that he wants to believe but is afraid to. i loved it when Locke said that it wasn't easy to believe. i wanted to clap my hands and say Amen, Brother!! he is so right on there. these people (the writers) are clever and they're throwing in a ton of hints and we just have to be wise about them. did you see the polar bear in the orientation film? and they're on island 3, so where's 1 and 2 and are there any more?

Ooops, I didn't see it yet. Holds up hand to block wolf's post. I'll be back.

ok, not going to spoil it but didja catch last week's and last night's episode?

Not last nights. Not yet. It's on tivo. Good morning wolfie!

c'mon terry, hurry up and watch em so we can spill the beans!

new episodes of lost won't be seen for the next three weeks! *yikes* terry, have you caught up YET?

Yep. Caught up.

i'm so glad i didn't miss a new episode while i was abroad. so what do you think about it, terry?

What's up with the symbol? Any idea what it's based on? Yin Yang? What was Locke's riddle, I didn't get that. And that button! Someone should just push it and see what happens.

oh no, i forgot the riddle, what was it? which button? the one they have to push every 108 minutes? i think the magnetism deal (and the fact that the island has an extraordinary magnetic presence) has to do with the bermuda triangle. but i have no idea what would happen if they didn't push the button. there must be something radioactive going on for the boars to be so large (and the polar bears too). have to take another look at that symbol.

Yeah, there's so much symbolism and conundrums with this show. Yeah, the one they have to push every 108 minutes, wouldn't that drive you batty?

YES!! i'd hate to be tied to that thing. think i'd go nuts!

Especially since it might blow up the planet or something, that would be disconcerting.

or maybe it doesn't--it's just a way to keep people there. the experiment is actually on them.

Yep, a distinct possibility. One of these shows, someones going to fall asleep at the switch. This is something you should trust to one person (the end of the world as we know it).

i think this wed is a new show...

Great. TiVo is ready.

A 'Lost' Ship With Leaks By KATE AURTHUR At the conclusion of the Oct. 19 episode of "Lost," a sonorous male voice narrated a preview of the next original installment of the popular ABC series. "Every season, there's one episode people will be talking about all year long," he intoned. "This is it." Over spliced images of various cast members in peril - Sawyer collapsed, Shannon screamed, Ana-Lucia pointed a gun - the narrator made a promise. "Three weeks from tonight, one of these survivors will be lost. Forever." Here we are three weeks later - and indeed, someone is going to die on tonight's "Lost." That the ABC promotions department alerted viewers to that plot twist last month was meant to create excitement for the episode, which is the first "Lost" during the November ratings sweeps period. But among a certain segment of frenzied fans, the information was not new at all. From its debut, in September 2004, "Lost" has inspired a devoted base of followers who pore over every episode searching for answers to the show's many mysteries. Gossip about television flows freely on the Internet. Advance information about plot developments - referred to as "spoilers" - is regularly slipped to reporters, to writers for entertainment Web sites like Ain't It Cool News and onto message boards. These leaks are a constant source of anguish to the creators of shows like "Lost," who, naturally, don't want the surprises they've planned to be ruined. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, two executive producers of "Lost," said they have no idea how the purveyors of spoilers get information about their series. They have put in place a numerical coding system to keep track of scripts, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. At the end of last season, when the writers were determined to keep a kidnapping in the finale a secret, they were driven to extremes. Internally, the scene was referred to only by a prosaic nickname: "the bagel." And only the actors in that particular scene received script pages. It worked. "We were really surprised, but really pleased, that that did not get spoiled," Mr. Cuse said. Casting changes, on the other hand, might be impossible to hide.

new Lost episode tonight--we get to find out what happened to the other half of the plane! *woohoo*

I know, it's on TiVo and I'll check it out tonight.

ok so why is everything a repeat on Lost? is it so we don't forget what's going on while they make new episodes?

ok, what's going on with lost? why are they showing last season's shows? and the story is starting to stress me out--is it me or is everyone losing their minds? am not finding clues like i did in season 1 either. (but i'm gonna keep on watching)

Cool, meanwhile Battlestar Galactica keeps coming out with better and better shows, and it's already the best show on tv. Last night's ep... hey I'll take it to the topic later.

Taking it to that topic.

damn this show like idiots we watched an episode, a few months ago now we're hooked (i don't have time for this)

I pretty much agree, Lost is lost time.
