September 21st is the second season premier of "Lost", and it promises to be just as good, if not better, than the first season. Only five more days left!

This thread is to discuss the show, but please "No Spoilers".

Well looking forward to it....though I will have to wait a few days after each show to see the episode as I will have to wait until the download from a friend in the States. If I waited for the UK to show it...it would probably be next year.

"Lost" won an Emmy! For best drama series, no less. I wasn't really expecting them to win since, hello, freshman drama? But I was pleasantly surprised! Anyway, I am *SO* excited about season 2 it is just ridiculous. I think I need to make myself not read any spoilers on the internet like I did over the summer because I now know some major plot points.(Or maybe they just can't keep a secret...) I think I can hang in there for another, oh, 52 hours? IF I don't die of anticipation first.

SillyLilly,

I, too, have been reading so-called "spoilers", and here's my advice:

Don't believe anything you read until you see it for yourself on Wednesday.

I went to several "Lost" chatboards, and the so-called "spoilers" are totally asinine. There may be one true spoiler out of ten, but the rest don't believe.

Only 48 more hours left before "Lost" premiers!

I have been staying away from all the boards and sites that might proffer these spoilers - I want to find out as it happens instead of before! It's the one time I can honestly say that I want to be surprised by the new events about to unfold. Seeing Sawyer sitting on the beach reading his letter (in the ads) piqued my interest in seeing how he ends up back on the island...

It's nice to know that just as some shows are ending (i.e. Big Brother, Rockstar) just in time for other proven shows to return - (Lost, Houswives, Nip/Tuck, Survivor, Amazing Race). I can't remember when I've been more excited to watch TV!!

That was a pretty good episode, and I totally cried. (But don't read too much into that because I cry on everything.) I'm not going to give anything away although I will say I did forsee (sp?) a major plot point. I'd also like to say my periodical worry came true and someone. called. me. while Lost was on. I answered the phone as follows: "I know you're not calling me during Lost!" Luckily, it was the commericial break but alas, when the show continued she completely lost me (ha! no pun intended) and eventually hung up in frustration. What? I called her back. OK, I didn't but she'll get over it.

The episode was awesome, but the 'Destination Lost' thing beforehand was a bit annoying. We've waited months to see the new episode, and then they make us wait through an hour of the stuff we already know...
A lot of good shows are beginning and restarting; I agree.

I needed the thing beforehand to remember what happened last season. Plus, I was watching with a friend who hadn't seen the first season, so it was easier than trying to bring her up to speed myself.

I thought the premiere was really good. I was afraid that the show wouldn't be as intriguing as the first season, but from the beginning I was intrigued. I only hope that they will explain (eventually) how all this occurred. There is obviously some supernatural element involved.

Here's my crazy theory. I think that this is all a dream in Jacks mind. He's probably thinking all of this while still on the plane. There are probably some true elements, like him taking his dead father back. Maybe each of the characters on the Island represents a part of him he whishes he was, while the character he is on the island is everything he hates about himself (fear of a leadership position, serious to the point of boredom [my opinion], a lack of faith in anything that science can't explain Locke is the man who is compenmtant in everything. Charlie is the rock star that every male at one time or another wanted to be. The beauty is that it might show what he wishes he was, but it also shows the flaws in each of his fantasies (like Charlie's cocaine addiction). In the series finale, all of this will culminate and the last moment of the show will be of him waking up from his dream just as the plane lands in LA.

If this idea seems disjointed and incoherent, I apologize. I only came up with it today and I must do a further analysis of the characters to see if it has any validity.

Did you see the water coming out of his mouth while he was standing in the middle of the jungle?

No, but I'm really glad I didn't because I probably would've started crying from all the different kinds of creepiness that is. Again, with the crying.

who called him "brother" like he's Hulk Hogan

Good Lord, that is the funniest thing I've heard all day. Totally cracked up. Hulk Hogan...

My dad thinks they're dead, especially after Desmond said "See ya in another life." Which brings up the point that I should NEVER watch anything with my dad. EVER. 'Cause he always thinks out loud about stuff like that... and he's usually right. I just hope he's not in this case because I would feel extremely jipped (SP?!) BTW, there was not nearly enough Charlie and Claire in this episode, I mean, Claire could use another back story.

Now I'm not what you would call a "Kate-hater" but she does tend to annoy me. That being said, I totally felt for her in this episode. Very good acting, Evie!

All I can say about the conclusion to this series is that it had better blow. my. mind. That's all I ask.

Interesting posts all of them, very interesting.

I did not watch "Lost" during its first season, but have watched the first season on DVD, and have a few comments/questions about this new second season.

I still cannot get out of my head that the "island" will turn out to be a cross between "The Island of Dr. Moreau" and a government experiment gone totally wrong. What I think the creators of 'Lost" need to do is to show us, the viewers, an entire episode totally devoted to the island...so that we can learn a few things about where Jack, Locke, Sawyer, Kate, Sayid etc.are and what if anything may come in the future. I think we need to know information about the island itself, since we have been told on the DVD by the creators, directors and producers that the island is a character unto itself.

I think that when the time comes for everyone on the island including Rousseau to finally meet the "Others", everyone will be surprised that it will be Jin, that will get them out of their impending situation...yes, Jin. I think every has underestimated him, because (according to the show), he cannot speak English. However, Jin, was a professional hit man for his father-in-law, and in his and Sun's back takes, they have showed him killing people with his bare hands, which could and just may prove very useful when the time comes for a confrontation with the Others.

What if Rousseau "thought" she killed her entire crew? What if Ethan and Desmond didn't die and found a place to hide from her? Maybe, Ethan was part of the Others, but on the outer fringes, like an acolyte? And heard the Others discussing taking the child...it is possible that Ethan (not being a complete Other) would not really know which child they were referring to and kidnapped Claire because he knew she was pregnant and *thought* that was the child the Others were referring to?

One thing that I think is totally unacceptable is that they have shown computers, running water, electricity etc, at the bottom of the hatch. To me, this does not make any sense whatsoever. It is an island supposedly in the middle of nowhere!

I am tending to go along with Locke's thought process that all of them have been brought to the island for a reason, however, exactly what that reason is still, thanks to the creators, remains to be seen. I tend to think that Hurly is a much more important character than anyone really thinks...it was he after all that played the very numbers that were found on the hatch.

That is my take on "Lost"...however the only thing each episode seems to do, is make everyone ask more questions...

I found this pretty interesting, in Michael Ausiello's column on TVGuide.com, which usually has pretty reliable info:

Question: Lost scoops please? — Trish

Ausiello: Exec producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse dropped what I thought was a pretty major spoiler in Sunday's New York Times. An article on Lost's second season ended with the duo ruling out three popular endgame theories: The castaways will not learn that they are part of some dastardly experiment, discover that they are in purgatory or wake up from a bad dream. "These guys get off the island," Cuse said. But then, in unison, they both added: "If it's an island." Hmmm…

**Removed the "Warning: Spoilers" thing, as after reading it, it is not a real spoiler**

**Also, please remember there are to be NO SPOILERS in this thread. We got lucky with this post. Lisa (DakotaNorth)

>>>>Lost's second season ended with the duo ruling out three popular endgame theories: The castaways will not learn that they are part of some dastardly experiment,

But does that mean they can't find that out in season three? Hmmmm. Do do do do do do do do *to the theme of twilight zone*

A few things (at random)

The "Raft People" (Sawyer, Jin, Michael, and Walt) were 15 miles out to sea (The number 15 is one of Hurley's numbers). What would have happened if they had went 16, 23, or 42 miles out to sea? Would something more terrible have happened?

Desmond was in the quarantined hatch...if he is one of the "Others", could he have projected himself to Jack at the stadium?

Hurley's numbers...it was said in this thread that maybe those numbers open and close things on the island...could they possibly represent important years for the island?

The hatch...it's made of something extremely strong (only dynamite was able to take the door off), I mean Locke and Boone couldn't break it with that thing they used to smash the glass. Where did the material for the hatch come from? Is it of "this world"? Or is it possible that the island created it?

Walt...I don't think he projected himself to Shannon...if he did do that, then why didn't he make himself yell for help? Instead, the Walt Shannon saw was only able to whisper...and he sounded like the whispering that Sayid heard in the jungle, like the whispering Sawyer heard in the jungle. Is it possible that the Walt Shannon saw was a doppleganger, a fake Walt, to lead our plane crash survivors on a wild goose chase?

Vincent...an important character...and the only one who spoke volumes in the season premiere when it came to Walt. Vincent was very close to Walt (before the plane crashed and after). If that was really Walt several feet from him, surely Vincent would have run to his buddy.

I just saw the first episode of the new season. I had to record it, so I watched it this weekend. It was great! The whole thing with Desmond really shook me up. How weird is that?! I am so wishing that they will make Desmond a frequently recurring character. He is HOT!

Okay, feel free to tease me mercilessly for that last sentence!

Desmond...hot? Maybe in a weird, possibly humanoid, way

Now hot is Sayid and Sawyer...

I only seen season one final episode on monday night gone by here, I can't wait until season two but we'll probably only get that once America is near the end of season two (if we're lucky), who's desmond, I keep hearing about him on all the Lost fansites. Please tell me as I won't find out until a year or so away, thanks

Lost is the only TV show I religiously watch. It's simply brilliant, from the idea to the acting. The stream of CSI and ER wannabe shows had me almost boycotting the networks entirely, but at least an original idea leaked out somehow.

18 minutes until episode 2 airs here!

Did anyone else notice the LOGO on the shark?

That same logo that was all over everything inside the hatch...
