#256272 - Thu Feb 03 2005 07:12 AM Lost Starts in Australia
blurrystar1 Mainstay Registered: Fri Jul 11 2003 Posts: 546 Loc: Victoria Australia	The show Lost started in Australia today (Thursday 3 Feb) and you may have seen the post Lost! on this forum also. The reason I am starting a new thread is so that Australian viewers may discuss it without spoilers from future shows and also to see what the response of the show is like here. What did you think of the first episode? (For those who missed it, there will be a re-run on Staurday at 8:30pm.) I'm finding this show interesting so far and have a feeling that it will just get better as the story unfolds. It has a good plot and there are a lot of mysteries and questions that need to be answered which keeps viewers glued to the screen. For example, what in the world is that gigantic monster thing. The one that killed the pilot. When I first saw it, straightaway I thought of Jurassic Park . _________________________ In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends ~ MLK

Lost has got me right in. And I must have missed a bit but the dog that was watching them when they went to the cockpit - did it come off the plane? Or are we seeing it because it means there is other people there? Mystery for me is Kate (I think) who said that the man with the half a plane hanging out of his guts was sitting next to her ... I think she knew him more than just a fellow passenger.

I don't remember seeing the dog coming off the plane (I missed 10min of the start so I'll watch again tomorrow just to make sure) but I think it must've already been on the island. I think the dog will be important later in the series. Maybe there are other inhabitants there also... What I'd like to know is why that guy with the orange in his mouth looked at Kate like that? Was it just because Kate was taking boots off a dead person or is there another reason? _________________________ In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends ~ MLK

Copago Moderator Registered: Tue May 15 2001 Posts: 14384 Loc: Australia	Yeah - that was a bit creepy, almost like a dream sequence He was also sitting out in the rain looking creepy there too. No doubt we'll hear more about him. It;s on tonight again too, Blurry, on my channel 7 anyway - 11:30 though

I think the dog was already on the island, he was in the first few scenes when the doctor woke up. It's just what we need, a creepy mystery series. _________________________ I'd rather be over the hill than under it!

Chris1013 Enthusiast Registered: Sat Oct 04 2003 Posts: 406 Loc: SW London England UK	I thought the pilot was pretty good, but not brilliant. It felt a bit like a mixture between Jurassic Park and Gilligan's Island But I will definitely keep watching, because some of the characters seem to be quite interesting. By the way: Desperate Housewives just started in Australia as well. What did everyone think of that? I really liked it. _________________________ DFB-Cup Winners 2007: 1.FCN!!!

McGruff Star Poster Registered: Mon Apr 03 2000 Posts: 10832 Loc: Northumberland Virginia USA	I'm with Taesma and just interested in seeing new reactions to what has to be one of the best shows to come along in eons. I absolutely love it. Chris, it will grown on you. Every episode keeps you thinking. The story is new and a little different, all the characters are interesting in one way or another. There's a lot of deeper meaning to many of the smallest details, and it's just very well written and well done. They seem to have hit on a great international cast as well. It hasn't really happened, so I don't think it spoils anything for me to say that I think a lot of the characters are going to find that they aren't at all the people they thought they were. Everybody has some baggage, and if you suddenly find yourself out of your environment and nobody knows anything about you, you're sort of free to be anyone you want to be. Circumstances may force you to become someone you weren't before, someone you may not want to be, or someone you never imagined you could be. I think the show has the potential to show us the worst and the best ordinary people can be. Edited by McGruff (Sat Feb 05 2005 11:18 PM)

I think the show has the potential to show us the worst and the best ordinary people can be. That's a really good observation, I hadn't thought of it that way. Sort of a do-it-yourself makeover. And there certainly is a lot of room for that with these people (for good or ill, as you said). What I like about this show is that, although there is a lot of action and intrigue, it is really more about character study and group dynamics and that sort of thing. It makes you think about what's going on rather than just letting events pass on by. _________________________ "A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking." ~ Jerry Seinfeld

Chris1013 Enthusiast Registered: Sat Oct 04 2003 Posts: 406 Loc: SW London England UK	Well, I will just trust you guys and keep watching. It sounds like there is some interesting stuff coming up. Mcgruff, I like what you wrote about people pretending to be somebody/ something else when nobody knows them. That's like in real life when you move to a new city/ country. You try to present yourself in the best light and make the best of your new situation and opportunities. (the only difference being that usually you are not stranded on an island with monsters ) _________________________ DFB-Cup Winners 2007: 1.FCN!!!

DakotaNorth Forum Champion Registered: Tue Jul 10 2001 Posts: 6168 Loc: Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA	What I found kind of difficult in the first couple of episodes was keeping track of all the names. This is really one of the first shows where there are so many "main" characters (48 to be exact ). Of course all the names have finally stuck with me, so now I know "who's who." By the way, I'm just watching all of your reactions to this fantastic show. _________________________ “In a world where you can be anything, be yourself.”

blurrystar1 Mainstay Registered: Fri Jul 11 2003 Posts: 546 Loc: Victoria Australia	Yesterday, I was talking to my friend about Lost (we were supposed to be doing Maths but this was more interesting ). Anyway, she told me that the monster thing only came when it was raining. She also suggested that it could be a force, like a hurricane or storm because of this observation. Could this be possible, and this monster thing not actually being a "monster"? _________________________ In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends ~ MLK

Copago Moderator Registered: Tue May 15 2001 Posts: 14384 Loc: Australia	A polar bear ??? Oh please. This show showed so much promise last week and I'm so hoping that they can come up with a pretty good reason for this. Make a new genus, breed or whatever it is cause polar bear on a supposed tropical island is just ... just ... just grasping at straws. And yay, I was right about Kate knowing the man next to her. I bet she was being extradited for making bisuits for the woman next door causing her to have a panic attack. Hey, there is a polar bear on a tropical island ... anything could happen. (and indeed the biscuit thing did .. well not the extradition part ... I made that up.) And how bad is the Sawyer character? And how perfect is his hair after days on a deserted island after a plane crash. LIke the hair, dont' like the character.

Chris1013 Enthusiast Registered: Sat Oct 04 2003 Posts: 406 Loc: SW London England UK	I like it how they show the crash from the perspectives of different people. That's a good way to give information on the background of the characters. However, I hope they won't do it for every single character, because I don't feel like watching the crash 48 times:-) Yeah the polar bear didn't seem to make much sense, but let's just see what happens with it. Copago, which one is Sawyer? (I am hopeless with names) One of my favourite lines was when Charlie goes: "I've never been so happy to hear the French." That just cracked me up _________________________ DFB-Cup Winners 2007: 1.FCN!!!

blurrystar1 Mainstay Registered: Fri Jul 11 2003 Posts: 546 Loc: Victoria Australia	The criminal also, that's Sawyer. Don't worry, Chris...I actually went onto the Lost site and looked up the names . Yes, I like how they show the crash from different perspectives as well. And I'm curious to know what Kate did... That powdery stuff Charlie was taking, was that some form of illegal drugs or is it medicine? If it is medicine, couldn't it help revive some of those injured? _________________________ In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends ~ MLK

Chris1013 Enthusiast Registered: Sat Oct 04 2003 Posts: 406 Loc: SW London England UK	Well, Charlie is a musician, right? So it seems pretty clear to me that it's some kind of drug. (Not that I have predjudices or anything. ) Yeah Sawyer seems weird, but he is one of the characters where we don't know anything yet. And just before they went on the hike, he was reading a letter and seemed sad... _________________________ DFB-Cup Winners 2007: 1.FCN!!!

blurrystar1 Mainstay Registered: Fri Jul 11 2003 Posts: 546 Loc: Victoria Australia	Well I thought Charlie was taking a drug. But since I like him as a character (so far) I didn't want to think he would do that. Oh well. There are so many interesting characters and so many storylines going on, that I can't decide which one is the most interesting. They all are! I just hope the show can keep up with the good work, and not get too far-fetched in the plot. _________________________ In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends ~ MLK

Copago Moderator Registered: Tue May 15 2001 Posts: 14384 Loc: Australia	>>>> I just hope the show can keep up with the good work, and not get too far-fetched in the plot. Famous last words? So we find out about Locke, actually I quite like his character strangely enough, and that somehow in the crash he can suddenly walk again after four years in a wheelchair. Okay, so he got up a little slowly when he first realized but quickly went running to the aid of another passenger in the crash. I have mornings where I can't walk within the time he took to start running after fours years! I'm going to quietly file this away with the tropical polar bear and hope that they can keep things in lnie a bit with reality. Sheesh what am I talking about? It's a TV show!
