Well ... they're still LOST. And so am I.
In a few minutes, I'm going to reveal ACTUAL PLOT POINTS from last night's episode of LOST, and as I am deeply sensitive to those people who will send me EVIL HATE MAIL about revealing the plot, because these hate-mailers TIVOd it and did not watch it like EVERYONE ELSE on the planet, I will now provide them with time and plenty of warning to go away and come back later.
La la la. Cat pictures.


Now that they've gone (they = those crazy people who can delay gratification and watch TV at their leisure instead of being a slave to it like me), can someone please tell me why SOME GUY with a shag haircut and POOR TASTE IN MUSIC is living underground with a record player and industrial-modern furniture and a computer from like 1989 and he's INJECTING SOMETHING and has a blender and Kate, hi! Newsflash! When a creepy baldheaded guy offers to lower you down into a spooky dark tunnel? On an island? Where there are scary things happening? SAY NO THANK YOU.
Oh, and another tip: Shannon! When you're tired and hungry and lost on a big jungle island that contains polar bears and maybe ghosts? RESIST THE URGE to run out into said jungle at night, alone, looking for a dog who is smarter than you and WILL COME BACK eventually, because everyone knows the cardinal rule of TV is DO NOT KILL THE DOG.
And Walt? With the creepy voice? WHAT DID HE SAY ya'll? Tell me! Please for the love of all that is good and kind tell me what he said. Please?
And Sayid? You're doing a good job, man, you're still hot, and that's what's important.
And me? Totally addicted to this TV show, so much that last night the phone rang DURING LOST, no, I am not kidding and yes, I know I have Tivo, but the phone rang and I picked it up and said I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT KATE IS ABOUT TO GO INTO THE HATCH CALLBACKLATER BYE!
P.S. My parents are going to read this and think their daughter has turned into one of those sad girls who dresses her cats up in costumes and thinks people on the teevee are real life friends, and these friends are EXCITING and it's totally normal to talk about them to STRANGERS.
P.P.S. But let me assure you, I would never dress my cats in costumes. Geez!

I have no idea - I don't watch Lost. I know, shoot me now! I did watch Martha's Apprentice and LAST YEARS season finale to CSI, and I thought they were killing NICKY off of the show! Ugh! I would have so boycotted CSI for that one!

Woo - lookit - I'm first!

I agree that I don't entirely get Kate's motivation. My sister called me as soon as it was over, and she thinks that Kate has no reason to want to be found and rescued, since it just means prison for her, so she's willing to explore. I still don't understand why that means she also willing to get et.
But bad taste in music? That was Mama Cass he was playing! I love Mama Cass! She was bold! She didn't let Michelle Phillips get her down too much! And when the rest of her band went all Hollywood addict, she moved to London and put on her own damn show! Love Mama Cass!
Posted by: Lilo at September 22, 2005 08:04 AM
Okay, I will admit that Sayid is hot. I hate his hair, but he is hot, and I'm all for him making out with Shannon.
But Sawyer, now, he's hot. He's not my type, but all those shots of his lower back with the tan last season... Now, that's good. He should make out more with Kate.
I realize that as a good girl, I'm supposed to be drooling over the doctor, but he's just not doing it for me.
Posted by: Gail at September 22, 2005 08:08 AM
Ok, I agree -- not bad taste in music -- more like... what dude WORKS OUT to Mama Cass?? LOL
That's more what I meant ... especially since hello! I have THE worst taste in music EVER!!
Posted by: laurie at September 22, 2005 08:12 AM
Um, I don't watch Lost. Because I don't have any TeeVee reception way out in the sticks where I live. And I hate Dish Network. But I do subscribe to NetFlix. And maybe I will see Lost one day on DVD. But it really sounds like the plot from General Hospital (or was it One Life to Live) from around 1984. Or so.
Posted by: madeleine at September 22, 2005 08:18 AM
I just don't understand how Charlie could just abandon his four siblings like that! I mean, he has a responsibility to them... (I do so miss my "friends" on PO5). Now let me go dress up my dogs.
Posted by: Kim at September 22, 2005 08:18 AM
Purl!
I have been a lurker forever, but when it comes to Lost, I MUST contribute...
I am one of those TiVo, record it people, like yourself, who happed to have something to do (i know more important than lost, what could it be?) but being a TRUE Lost fan, I HAD to watch the complete episode, late into the night, before going to sleep, because I know very well, that with a show like Lost, the internet and water cooler will be buzzing the next day. Sounds like you are a true lost fan too! Watching Lost live (what TiVo owner does that, except for only the best of shows??).
Anyway, my thoughts:
1. the shaggy man is DESMOND from the stadium where jack was running. i'm not sure if you caught that?
2. this is the BEST and i mean BEST place to get Lost details, theories, and you may be able to find out what walt said, from people with uber sensitive ears. (because i'm curious myself)
*ok the link is not working but go to www.tv.com and type in Lost
anyway, i'm sure i'll have more to tell you later if i think of it.
<3, kim

Well, at first I guessed that someone who works out to Mama Cass would be someone who has been trapped on the island without the benefit of disco-- that is to say, everything that he has was brought to the island before the mid-seventies. So, Mama Cass might be the closest thing he can get to a cheerful, up tune that you can do a first-thing-in-the-morning workout to. This is confirmed by the avocado colored bowls and the vintage stereo.
So surprise of surprises when the workerouter is not someone from the Ford administration, but Desmond/ Declan/ whatever his name was, eh?
Posted by: Lilo at September 22, 2005 08:32 AM
sometimes i wish you would dress them up in costumes.
roy could be dracula.
Posted by: kendra at September 22, 2005 08:33 AM
I thought Walt just told Shannon "Shhh... be quiet/stay still" or something of that nature. I could be wrong, though.
Posted by: Melissa at September 22, 2005 08:33 AM
But but - what did Des do with Kate? Ooooh. She's all missing n' stuff.
And I second Laurie's request for someone to share what Walt said. I was too creeped out to listen that closely (it took me a minute to figure out he was soggy from the seawater, not from... you know... the red stuff that's normally contained inside people)
Posted by: Miri at September 22, 2005 08:37 AM
I did that too! The phone rang, and I just let it go. I figured anyone out of touch enough to call during the Lost season premiere was not someone I had any need to talk to. I hope our power doesn't go out and make me miss it next week!
Posted by: Ang. at September 22, 2005 08:48 AM
I'm one of those TIVO people but I had to read your post anyway. This is my favorite line from your post:
And Sayid? You're doing a good job, man, you're still hot, and that's what's important.
Heehee!

LOST! LOST! I have been waiting anxiously for the season to return so that I COULD SEE YOUR DISCUSSIONS OF IT.
Sayid is TOTALLY still hot - and here's a real-life tidbit: Did you know that he's really Barbara Hershey's boy-toy? !!!! I love Babs and all, particularly because she looks like my mom so much, but I suddenly hate her.
And Desmond! DESMOND! What the hell is he doing down there? And why is he trapped in the '70s with Mama Cass and steroids and lava lamps? And did you notice, y'all, that the blender was from the '70s, but we've come back around so much that it looked coolly retro? And the 'roids! And that SONG!
AND WHY IS HE QUARANTINED???? So many questions.
Posted by: jonna at September 22, 2005 08:55 AM
Hi Laurie!
I, like Kim, am a long-time lurker/ no responder who is a Lost fanatic. Now, did Desmond-in-the-hatch make his blender health drink using eggs, or did I make that up since I was knitting while watching and therefore might have looked down and created that image on my own? But, if so, where did he get the eggs? And, that must be one mother of a generator to run all of his equipment for what looks like a very long time given the '70s quality of his stuff. I echo the "what was Kate thinking?" comments, and am hoping we get to see Sawyer again soon. He is smokin'...
Frankly I'm impressed that you even answered the phone. I let the machine pick it up...
Posted by: Cristina at September 22, 2005 08:57 AM
I don't think we were meant to understand what Walt was saying. It was all jumbled like the voices in the forest.
And waht was with Julie Bowen's eyebrows, anyway??
Posted by: Ginnie at September 22, 2005 09:02 AM
He works out to Mama Cass! I am rolling on the floor laughing. I try to keep up with that show but end up watching it on my sister in law's TIVO much later than is respectable. I did see the preview when Kate was going down the hatch though, and I though, UM, KATE??? Are you a fucking MORON???? Hey, did you get your BOOK AND YOUR CHECK from Annie!!!!!????? Yarn money!

But where was SAWYER, for god's sake?? I mean, it was great to get my Sayid fix (yumyumyum), but, AUGH!
Posted by: Kate at September 22, 2005 09:23 AM
Yay! Lost is back on! But now I have more questions than ever. Wahhh!
But yeah, I don't think I'd trust Locke too much.
And why didn't Hurley tell Jack ALL about the numbers? How they were being broadcast from the island and that's where his friend heard them and the French lady and...and...dammit! Why won't anyone really communicate with anyone?
Arrrrrgh.
Posted by: Mary in Boston at September 22, 2005 09:24 AM
I love this show too. I needed more answers than we got last night though. What happened to the people on the raft?
I was glued to the screen this entire episode. I still think dr guy is hot. I just wish he'd throw Kate down on the ground and have his way with her. I bet she'd go for him if he did that . . . I would . . . .lol
Posted by: Bethro at September 22, 2005 09:55 AM
I was throwing popcorn at the TV yelling, "Don't do it, Kate! Back away from the hatch! Tell Locke to bugger off!"
P.S. Laurie did you ever see Sayid in the Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love? Bloody brilliant movie, really. You'd like it. Go rent it.
Posted by: Christina at September 22, 2005 10:18 AM
sayid sayid sayid...back off, baby...HE'S MINE!!!!!!
i may or may not have been screaming f*ers!! at the televison last night when they left me hanging like that. there are no witnesses 'ceptin the feral cats that i'm trying to tame and the husband. he can be bribed, though.
Posted by: s at September 22, 2005 10:27 AM
True that the phone ringing is a bad thing during Lost but it will not top the fact that I Tivo'ed Lost only to find that there were tornados and rain and they cut into an hour and 45 minutes of the 2 hour show to tell us that it was raining. Oh but don't worry I could have turned the station to a different channel to watch Lost, loads of good that does while I'm not home and it's being taped! OMG I am so pissed I am considering suing the television station.
Posted by: Elise at September 22, 2005 10:29 AM
I'm a lurking Lost lover as well (that sounds kinda seedy actually). I could barely knit during the episode and after visiting other Lost fansites last year, I realized that I was missing a lot of itty-bitty details and references while I was knitting, so I've abandoned knitting all together during Lost.
Kate-I agree with the poster that stated that she was going to prison if they ever leave the island so she's got nothing to lose...makes for an interesting character.
What about Locke starting to lose feeling in his legs at the end of last season? Suddenly the feeling is back and he can repel himself down a scary dark hatch?
And how about Shannon suddenly turning into the crazy-messed up haired-lunatic? She was the princess and she's quickly becoming a crazy lady with a shopping cart. I used to hate her but now I just want to watch how crazy she gets. I hope she starts doing cool stuff like licking people or something. At least her character would become interesting...
Posted by: JulieU at September 22, 2005 10:30 AM
The premiere was great, even though I didn't expect it to answer too many questions. My main beef with the episode was "Where the *bleep* was Sawyer?!?!" I need my Sawyer fix.
There are just too many references and things that made me do a double-take on the show. I've taken to watch it with the CC on. Plus, I've started reading the forums on Television Without Pity and realized I missed waaaaay too many things last night.
The "108" painted on the hatch wall? Someone added the freaky lottery numbers up. Guess what it adds up to? The ER scene mentioned the time "8:15". Guess what flight number the Lost crew was on?
Too many details... and I love it!
Posted by: Knit Chick at September 22, 2005 10:31 AM
Sayid was also in the English Patient and I thought he way way hot at the time.
Also, Jack's hair was NASTY in the hospital scenes. I know he had been running and was overheated, but even otherwise -- is that the hairdo that the men of the late 90s/early 00s are going to be remembered for? Yeesh. Of course, it's better than Desmond's.
Also also, have to agree with April about boycotting CSI if Nicky had been killed off. I would have thought about it pretty seriously. The last episode is my favourite ever.
Also also also, love you, love your cats, love it all.
j
Posted by: canknitian at September 22, 2005 10:32 AM
so if we are saying that hairdo is late 90's and he saw desmond the day of the ER scene - then desmond could have only been in the hatch for say 5 years? not shipwrecked 16 years ago w/ the french lady right? or was that just jack hallucinating that day at the stadium? i think this is going to be one of those lost sci-fi moments (ugh! i hate sci fi) where maybe he didnt really see him that day? how long has desmond been in the hatch 5 years? or 16+ years (bringing us in to 1989...which still doesnt put us in the 70's or even early 80's)....
Posted by: kim at September 22, 2005 10:44 AM
Hmmm...I thought the dude in the cave listening to Mama Cass, with the green-screen computer was the guy from Jack's past that was the FIANCE of the chick that Jack cured from paralysis. BTW, Jack's hair in the flashback scenes was definitely a wig...I own a similar one. How does he keep that buzz-cut on the island. Arent' they running out of batteries yet? I'm just sayin'.
Posted by: Ellen B. at September 22, 2005 10:47 AM
I think late 90s at the earliest.
Posted by: canknitian at September 22, 2005 10:52 AM
According to one source, if you play back Walt's voice backwards he's saying "don't push the button. The button is bad" or something like that ..
Notice, the "evil" numbers were on the bottle that Desmond injected himself with ... Also, when Dr. Jack goes into the hatch and sees that graffiti on the wall, the number 108 is featured ... that's the sum of all those numbers .. yoiks.
It's being set up as a battle of morality and faith .. There are some interesting Jesus references, Desmond meets Jack in the flashback, grills him about the doc's disbelief in miracles, helps "heal" his ankle, tells him to "lift it up," and then tells him "good luck brother, see you in another life."
Not to mention that "bad song" in the hatch y'all keep referncing was the theme song for a summer series starring "The Carpenters." ... eek.
Posted by: Hurricane Chase at September 22, 2005 11:02 AM
This episode is the only one I'll be able to watch on time. Stupid UPN shows Veronica Mars at the same freaking time and that season premiere is next week, so we'll be tivo-ing Lost while I catch VM on the tiny tv upstairs. I probably shouldn't admit this, but if I was forced to pick only one of them at this point, I'd just watch Veronica Mars. That show has cute boys, snappy writing, and actually solved its big murder mystery in the season finale last year instead of stringing me along forever, revealing tiny bits of information, and ignoring earlier mysterious happenings in favor of starting new ones. I love them both though, so I'm glad I don't have to choose.
Posted by: deety at September 22, 2005 11:10 AM
I'm another Lost junkie. I don't even knit during the show!
There was one huge question that was not answered last night:
When is Sayid going to take his shirt off?
We've seen Sawyer and Jack, but not Sayid. Dammit. I want to see him shirtless!!!
Posted by: Kathy at September 22, 2005 11:11 AM
I have averted my eyes from your post and from all your comments as here in England we're not even halfway through the FIRST series, let alone getting a new one!
Please keep warning of spoilers, it's getting hard to read blogs now that people are talking about it! :o)
Posted by: Anna at September 22, 2005 11:42 AM
i dont watch lost. i couldn't make the committment. but sayid is cool also because he dates barbara hershey who is almost 20 years older (and that in spite of her collagen lips).
also, lorelei gilmore is totally my girlfriend
Posted by: maryse at September 22, 2005 12:01 PM
I say its time to dress the cats! You know they want it-- The village people come to mind..just in time for Halloween! too funny....(Picturing pics of them doing YMCA...hehehhehe)
Posted by: Lesli at September 22, 2005 12:06 PM
Okay - one leetle secret? I think Locke is hot. I can't help it. Does that make me a septugenariophile? I don't care; Sawyer is hot in an obvious way, Sayid is subtle and smooth, but its Locke what floats my boat.
Did you watch Invasion, afterward? I think Mr. Cassidy is trying to replicate the Lost feeling, but sadly doesn't even come close.
-D.
Posted by: MonkeyGurrrrl at September 22, 2005 12:14 PM
Another lurker here, but HAD to comment on this one. never had a TeeVee show make me put down my knitting needles before!
Anyway - we played walt's creepy scene back several times and the best we could tell is he said " Shhh. There's no one there".
And did anyone else get that the paralyzed girl was Jack's future fiance/wife?! Remember in the previous Jack-flashback episode with his wedding scenes, she kept saying that "He fixed me" and I think there was a reference to her back. At least that was the consensus here in our house...
Posted by: elyse at September 22, 2005 12:22 PM
I was too busy stitchin' and bitchin' and completely forgot to go home and get Lost! ;( Oh well, at least I was knitting...
(P.S. Is it going to be on at 9pm forever now? I hope so, 8pm was too early for me to get home.)
Posted by: mollysusie at September 22, 2005 12:27 PM
Oh, and I *so* already bought my cats their Halloween costumes. Pssssh!
(Caz = froggy hat! Sasha = leopard hat!)
Posted by: mollysusie at September 22, 2005 12:29 PM
my theory about cave boy is that the injections are not steroids but innoculation from whatever created the quarantine situation.
btw, was anybody besides me finding it hard to look at the younger jack hair? what on earth was that?
Posted by: Margaret at September 22, 2005 12:36 PM
My assistant, lovely woman, took off out of the office like a bat out of hell yesterday, you know, because of Lost. I'm a dope--don't watch it at all--I have watched it, but not regularly. I totally appreciate the non-TIVO approach to watching TV, (though I may be TIVOing it anyway, I still watch it on time--weird like that...)
Posted by: Shelly at September 22, 2005 12:37 PM
for Anna in England...do you watch MI-5? I see it on the BBC schedule there, but no sign of the new season showing up here. do you know why they got rid of almost all the lead characters from the first three seasons? I adored Matthew Macfayden's character, sigh.
Posted by: Margaret at September 22, 2005 12:41 PM
There are so many reasons why I read your blog!!!! If you lived in Chicago...well, we would hang out. I am obsessed with LOST. It conflicted with something on TiVO last year so I never watched it until this past summer. Now, I know I have TiVO (my best friend) but "oh hell no" you better not call me during LOST.
A friend of mine called me at 10 pm last night and all I asked him if he watched it..."no, but it is on TiVO." My response was that I couldn't talk to him till he watched it...still haven't spoken with him. I am so obsessed with the show I bought the first season on DVD. It has some deleted scenes and then a whole disk of the 'secrets of the island.' Ooooooo.
Oh, the shaggy man is DESMOND from the stadium where jack was running. I went back to make sure.
Posted by: Mary at September 22, 2005 12:54 PM
Anyone notice that the other person that Sarah (yes, Jack's future wife, but remember he told Ana-Lucia that he's not married anymore) was in the car accident with (the guy she hit head-on) had the last name Rutherford? As in Shannon Rutherford? Whoa. And Jack's hospital ID tag said it was 1997. I bet it was Shannon's dad / Boone's stepdad.
And I've heard the audio file of what Walt said. It was "Don't touch the button. The button's bad."
It is Desmond, the jogger from the staduim, in the hatch. Remember he called Jack "brother" both when they met in the stadium and when he told him to drop the gun in the hatch. I think Desmond was wrecked (plane or boat) on the island, too; and he was pulled into the underground bunker by the "monster" that almost pulled Locke in (when Kate threw the dynamite in and the weird black smoke ghost came out). The bunker is left over from some black ops government thingy in the late 60s - early 70s when the original inhabitants went outside and were killed by the sickness the French Woman spoke of. The bunker was the source of the numbers transmission that Hurley's insane friend told him about.
Enough theorizing... more shirtless Sawyer!
Posted by: Linda L. at September 22, 2005 01:10 PM
Hi Laurie, check out this link. You can listen to Walt saying whatever he said backwards too:

Posted by: Liza at September 22, 2005 01:19 PM
Ooo...I'm glad I read all the comments! I was about to say that I watched Lost on tape last night, and I muted my TV and put on the close-captions to try to get what Walt said. But the CC just said "whispers indistinctly". Will have to go and listen to these audiofiles now!
Posted by: Michelle at September 22, 2005 01:25 PM
linda l. YES that rutherford thing is good - for SURE its going to be shannon's dad. they ARE ALL linked. like forget in what scene, but it was in like a boone centric or sayid centric episode, in the background on TV hurley was winning the lotto. so i'm CERTAIN that will be the connection.
Yes that was his Wife to be ex-wife.
But also note at the beginning how the show the clip of the woman who insists her husband is still alive as well as ana-lucia who also was on the back of the plane. i'm sure there are more surivors out there, and hopefully we'll get to see them in the next few weeks!!!
Posted by: kim at September 22, 2005 01:40 PM
Man, I wish we hadn't deleted after watching - now I wanna watch again!
I just wanted to mention that televisionwithoutpity.com recaps Lost episodes, and their Forum is already up to 43 pages of discussion on last night's ep.
Posted by: Beth at September 22, 2005 01:52 PM
OMG, I shouldn't really be reading this, because the 2nd series hasn't started here in NZ yet. I only got to watch bits n pieces of the first series - (we don't have tivo, and my dvd doesn't record... )and I didn't see all the final of the last episode... so what has happened to the dudes on the raft? what happened with the french woman? the explanation I got from my 13yo was vague...
And big sayeed fan - ever since he played the Sikh soldier in the english patient - ohhh the scene where he unties his hair and is washing it... sounds dull! but oh boy... oh and there was lots of shirtless shots of him in the Kama Sutra.... i just want to lick him.... not in a crazy person way
Posted by: genny at September 22, 2005 02:20 PM
I could copy everyone, and tell you all those great things (BTW - those forums, well, let's just say you've been warned. I visited last night to try to find out what Walt said, and DH had to pry me off of the computer when I was almost asleep, I was SO sucked in!), but I'll just say that I had goose pimples at the end. And there may have been a shriek. I'm just sayin'.
Posted by: Jenn at September 22, 2005 04:22 PM
Lost was great....I wasn't going to comment but then I realized I AM one of those sad pathetic people your parents are worried about.
I bought my cats their Halloween costumes this week. I figured the $10 is gonna be worth the laugh!!
Is it even more pathetic that they have their own blog?
Posted by: Rayleen at September 22, 2005 06:52 PM
Laurie, I heard that Walt was saying "Don't push the button, the button's bad" backwards.
Posted by: Jessica at September 22, 2005 07:06 PM
Great reading your post, brother. I'd love to chat but I've got a hatch to clean and bizarro island steriods to inject. You know how it is you train for a race around the world and wind up a quarantined hermit on an island whose only pleasure is taking other castaways hostage. What can I say there are not enough people to play bridge.

I'm telling you - its only a matter of time.
Posted by: Nancy at September 22, 2005 08:34 PM
I couldn't wait for LOST season 2 to start or come here and read the comments! What if Desmond put the quarentine sign so that the "others" would not try to get in? I bet he has another way to get in and out of the cave to get food and escape if he needs to. Also, if I was LOST in Hawaii with Sayid I certainly wouldn't be rushing to get rescued. I'm just saying. :)
Posted by: Mani at September 22, 2005 08:37 PM
I want to know what happened to Sawyer! And then I think there should be an episode where Sawyer and Sayid decide to sunbathe naked. That's it. For an entire hour.
Hey, I'd watch.
That aside--is it just me that distrusts Locke? I totally don't buy his, oh I'm just a normal guy, lalala. He just screams ex-military (like, special forces officially they don't exist military) or CIA. I mean, how does he KNOW all that stuff?
Personally, I think that's how he ended up in the wheelchair in the first place. And I don't trust him.
Posted by: Steph at September 23, 2005 04:12 AM
Didn't ya'll notice that the quarantine sign was written on the INSIDE of the hatch door?? If the bunker was to quarantine people from the "real world" the sign would have been on the OUTSIDE of the door ...
Posted by: Emma at September 23, 2005 04:29 AM
a great place for recaps and theories on what's going on is TVGasm.com .. i think most of the people here have mentioned most of what's been brought up there, but it's a great site!

I've heard the audio of Walt too, and it sounds like "PUSH THE BUTTON. NO BUTTON'S BAD." People who've heard it are split 50/50 on whether or not pushing the button is good or bad.
AND DID YOU SEE the numbers on the bottle he was injecting into himself (Desmond, that is?)-- they were THE NUMBERS!!!
And why did Walt look so wet he looked like he was drenched in cooking oil?? Will Walt be a snack?

Just wanted to say that your blog cracks me up! And I wish I could help with the Lost thing, but I don't watch it. I was busy rewatching last year's season finale of CSI. And when I say rewatching, I mean for the 100th time. Thanks for the laughs!

Laurie,
First of all, I was hoping to be a little higher up the que so you might actually read this...but oh well. Secondly, thanks for sharing your story with all of us out here on the internets (and I don't just mean the cats! Though they are terribly cute!) Thirdly, CONGRATS! Why you ask? Well cuz I've never left a comment on anyones page so ta-da, you the winner! And finally, I know the VERY last thing you need is another internet stalker, but HA, now you've got one (well another.) And to prove I'm your newest stalker, I did my homework and read all the archives. I was wondering how the blue sparkly hat turned out since I don't recall seeing a post after your initial introduction of the project. Also, was wondering what your favorite wine was?

I'm hoping the show will fix the hair-styling problems.
Bed head is ok, but not influenza head. Especially in the hospital scene, Jack especially looked like he was suffering from some bad sort of flu. ick.
Maybe it's not the hair stylists fault; maybe Matt Fox has bad hair. Another mystery.
Watching with closed captioning is a great idea.

The phone call in the middle of Lost happened to me too!! I just rejected the call though, but get this....IT WAS MY ROOMMATES MOTHER!!!

I'm totally with Emma, Desmond isn't quarantined; the ISLAND is! Creepy! Also, at first I assumed it was steriods he was injecting - until I realized THE numbers were on the bottles. Maybe it is some sort of innoculation against the others or the island or something? Argh! Sweet, sweet confusion and frustration. mmmLost so GOOD!
Posted by: julia at September 23, 2005 11:22 AM
I bet, in the end, the numbers will somehow be worked into the geographical coordinates of the island.

You must be psychic!!
Love Lost. Kicked my friend out of the next room because she was disrupting the show while on the phone. Sayid and Sawyer, yum!

I hear you on Lost. What I can not understand is how the guy in the hatch had cherries for his breakfast shake.
Love the blog.

Purl, where are you today?! Don't you know I need at least a DAILY fix of your humor?! Or at least some cat porn. PORN PORN PORN PORN.
I miss you.
-D.

cause a divored PHYSCO with cats is soooooo attractive.
Seek therapy...oh wait...Blogging IS therapy.
Never mind. You'll be fine.
When is the next garage sale? Do you sell knitted items?
Posted by: hajiomatic at September 24, 2005 12:05 AM
Gah! My DSL is down, so I'm behind on posting, and knew you'd have done a LOST posting. So, so good.
I think it is so compelling because each episode poses more (new) questions than it answers. Can't wait for next week to find out about raft people. And Charlie and what he does with the heiroin -- I'm betting a relapse until the love of Claire "saves" him.

I didn't get into LOST until this summer, when I told the TiVo to catch me up. I have watched (and deleted) this episode, but I'm not as mad at them for leaving me with a cliff-hanger as I am with NCIS. grr.
Posted by: Christy at September 25, 2005 08:13 AM
For those that have so far resisted LOST, its not too late :) the first season is out on dvd...give it a watch...you'll be hoooked!
All of your questions were already answered in the comments (what walt said, desmond in the hatch was who talked to jack after he fell in the stadium, the woman with the broken back was indeed jack's future fiance/wife...that was covered last season. she talks about it at their wedding flashback. And so much more)
There is TONS of speculation about the "symbol" that appeared through out the bunker, looking like the I-Ching, etc. I visit this LOST board: http://p073.ezboard.com/blosttheunofficalforumfortheabcseries
it is by far, the best LOST board, lots of theories, some good spoilers (some great ones were posted last night!)

as soon as I saw the guy running the steps I knew he was the one in the hidden hole of exercise. we need some satification and some answers quick, never mind all of the hotties on the show. Let's get down to the bussiness of ANSWERS! edna

I don't DARE turn the television on because I keep hearing about all these very addictive shows, and I KNOW I'd watch them all. Your post only confirms my suspicions.
Heh, instead I'm glued to the computer. :)
Posted by: Jennye at September 26, 2005 08:16 AM
OK, so I finally got around to watching the episode last night so I could read your post today. I missed the end of last season and only sporadically watched the beginning. There’s so much to catch up on, so thanks to everyone here for helping out! Dude the people on the raft WTF! Who were those Walt stealing pirates? Are the rest dead now? I need to know right now! So much to find out.
Do some of you have TiVo that can only record/watch one thing at a time? That would suck. Ours has 2 receivers.

I've always believed that Lost and X-Files are somehow related. We're going to have Smokey all of a sudden show up or Mulder and Scully in the black helicopters or the Men in Black from that episode with the three guys and the actor from Laverne and Shirley.
Nothing better be on tonight--we have tons of stuff on tape to get caught up on.
Posted by: Carina at September 26, 2005 02:30 PM
Hey there,
I couldn't make it through all the comments, but my co-workers got a LOT of info on hidden stuff from last week's show. (Sorry I just caught up with your blog today!) Thought I would post for you in case you hadn't yet learned any of this stuff.
Walt said "Don't push the button, the button is bad." But you had to listen to it backward.
The man who died in the car crash (on the gurney next to the woman Jack saved) was Shannon and Boone's dad.
The injection that Desmond gave himself had a label on the vial with The Numbers on it.
If you add up The Numbers, they equal 108, which was graffiti'ed on the wall in the Hatch.
Anyway, gotta run home now and watch LOST!
Amy

Have you seen this before? It's a number guessing game: http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/guessthenumber.html. I guessed 34355, and it got it right! Pretty neat.
