Dammit, they are killing off all the brothers on the show!
Smiley: motz
Mr. Eko was my favorite Character. Kill off jack the pity *****, not the wonderfully conflicted murderous priest.

Though I do love new girl Kiele Sanchez's boobs. Those girls know how to bounce. Finally, a buxom girl, stranded on a seemily deserted island who isn't wearing a bra.

I like the husband and wife people, I hope they add more regulars.

My question is, who is the guy with the eye patch...

We were discussing this in IRC and I said that the reason Eko got killed is because he got a DUI in Hawaii.

When Ana Lucia and whatsherface got arrested for drunk driving they both got axed in the same episode. Coincidence? I think not.

It really pissed me off too because Eko was one of the strongest characters aside from Locke. Way to blow the show butthead.

Ok, after looking more into it, he wasn't charged with DUI, but with disobeying a police officer and driving without a license. Apparently we take our traffic violations very seriously. +_+

I figured that Eko was a keeper, and that Sayid and the Fat guy were the ones to die along the way, as the latter two are the only ones with solid reasons to leave the island. Sayid with his lost love in LA area and Hugo with more than a hundred million dollars and therefore his only real chance of getting laid regular also back in LA. Desmond has a reason to leave as well, but we the viewers know that his reason is on the way to the island, and once there, they will not want to leave.

I don't think this had to do with plot. I'm sure the writers felt they'd hit a gold mine when Eko came along, but then he got arrested. So I'll say it again, way to blow the show butthead. It's dying a slow death as it is, now I don't know if anything can save it.

Hugo with more than a hundred million dollars


Maybe. He is batshitinsane, remember.

Hurley can't die, he's good natured comic relief. It's not terribly difficult to figure who can and can't die.

Jack can't die, which is a shame because Matthew Fox is easily the worst actor on that show by a massive margin. Memo to Fox: Making faces like you're constipated doesn't convey "emotion" in a scene, it just makes you look like an ***.

KatieKat can't die. The lazy Lost writers need occasionally sweaty Evangaline Lily to keep the 18-35 male demographic at least slightly intrested.

Sawyer can't die because he's the only one who ever gets interesting lines.

Lock can't die because he's now the only lunatic warrior poet left (which is why Echo was expendable, who really needs two of essentially the same character)

Rose can't die, token black person.

Bernard could probably go, but really, who would even notice. Nothing to be gained by killing him off.

Charlie sadly probably can't die. Locke should get to punch him right in the balls every episode though purely for my enjoyment. ***** the eye thing, every episode should open with Charlie doing all he ever does, saying something painfully obvious "You're sharpening a knife, John?" Then WHAM, right in the *******.

Claire is clearly expendable, but her baby probably isn't. She's a pretty useless character, really, and killing off the new mom would get a lot of sucker sadness from the audience.

Desmond can absolutely die, but only in some sort of noble sacraficial way. That, or falling asleep in a tidal pool or something. If he's rock ******* stupid enough to sail around the island in his boat and not notice the
OTHER ******* ISLAND RIGHT NEXT TO IT anything's possible.

Ben/Henry Gale can clearly die and I think it's 60/40 he dies next episode.

Julliet can't die untill she humps Jack, at which point, like every other woman that has sex on the island, she's clearly lined up for the reaper.

Neither of the UKC's can die. The show just wouldn't be the same without the occasional Useless Korean Character's flashback episode that makes me want to light my head on fire and put the fire out with an icepick.

Most any of the other random "Other's" can probably die with the possible exception of Tom (Mr. Freindly) as he's the show's only gay character.

Neither of the two new characters can die yet. It would serve no real purpose.

Sayid can't die, he's the Professor to Jack's Gilligan. I fully expect him to make a radio out of a coconut after the break.

How far into the third season are you guys in? And is it any good so far?

It's not going to be on TV in the UK for a few weeks. On the one hand I can't wait, on the other I think I'm going to be disapointed. The problem with these shows is that they HAVE to go on for 4-5 seasons. Which means they drag the story as much as possible. Some episodes of Season 2 were utter rubbish, pointless flashbacks and Simspsons-like episode where things happen but somehow everything at the end is exactly as it was in the beggining. "Oh no, she's lost her wedding ring! Oh good, she's found it again."

And I can't believe they killed Ecko. He was my favourite character.

This is turning out just like Harry Potter...

I won't lie, Season Three is sucking some serious ***. I hate Juliet and contrary to what Benry says, I think she looks nothing like Jack's wife. She looks more like Penelope, Desmond's lady.

The only reason I watch is to know what happens. I don't watch because I enjoy it anymore, which is lame. I look forward to BSG and Heroes now. The fall season finale is next week. Looked like it's going to be 2 hours, but I'm not sure.

That UKC comment made me laughsnort really loudly, so I'll have to go make some work conversation to cover it up. Smiley: glare

I wouldn't go so far as to say I don't enjoy it at all anymore, but basically I'm with you here. Season one was great, it's all been downhill since then.

Well I'm still loving it.

When the main chars plot gets a bit dippy it's compensated by the back-stories.

I guess the reason I don't enjoy it anymore is because the story is inching along so slowly and the flashbacks just don't do any real advancing either.

Season 1-2 Jack: Jack turns in his father and gets him fired, which leads to his death. Jack meets Desmond then miraculously heals his future wife.

Season 3 Jack: "I just want to know if she's happy."

Overall, Jack has been pretty boring anyway, but the season premiere was just terrible.

Season 1-2 Jin/Sun: Jin is trying to run away to America with Sun, but she doesn't know it. Sun is trying to run away from Jin, but chickens out.

Season 3 Jin/Sun: Sun is a cheating ho and a liar.

Jin and Sun were sort of interesting before, but they haven't really changed much of their story or added anything really mysterious.

Season 1-2 Locke: It's revealed that Locke was previously paralyzed, that he had his kidney stolen by his father, and that his girlfriend leaves him after an incident with his father.

Season 3 Locke: Locke becomes some commune weed grower, uses sweat lodges, and cannot shoot an undercover agent in the back. Ok then.

Locke has always been one of the strongest characters with the best flashbacks, but I was extremely disappointed in this one. It really didn't reveal anything except an explanation on how he knows how to make hallucinogenic mush from the jungle. That "talk to the island" bit was utter rubbish.

Season 1-2 Sawyer: He witnesses his father kill his mother and then suicide, then takes on the name of the con man who started it all. He gets conned into killing the wrong man. He falls in love with his long-con.

Season 3 Sawyer: Sawyer has a daughter and in the end gives the money from his (legitimate) con to her. This was by far the best of this season. It's the only one that I see being of the same "mystery" quality of the other seasons.

Season 2 Eko: What the hell does it matter, he's dead now.

Of those 5 characters (Jin & Sun counting as one) only Sawyer's has shown something interesting whereas if you examined the same set last season Locke, Eko, and Sawyer would all have been quality episodes.

And I just realized that the only surviving tailie is Bernard. Those troublemaking tail survivors I tell you! I'll bet that by next month that actor will be arrested for jaywalking in Waikiki and then get sniped by the eyepatch guy in the hatch.

They're pulling a BSG .5 season thing. They released a while ago that they would only show 6 episodes and then break until next year because they are too behind in production.

The university paper had an article about a staff member getting picked up as an extra. I'm assuming this isn't going to happen until Season 3.5.

Do the writers even know?


They're part of the "Valenzetti Equation" which is some sort of never described math formula that predicts the date of the extintion of mankind. The group that built the research stations on the island is trying to change the date and hence the numbers.

It's actually a little more complicated and less believable than even that, but that's the basic lazy writer idea.

So it's pure coincidence that if you dial those numbers, the voicemail says "Thank you for calling Al'Katie's Knocking Shop. All her orifices are busy right now. . ."?
