Im in lost obsessive mood.

By the way, there is a Pub in Barcelona about lost.

I don't agree - and what do you mean by "stupid dialogues" anyway? No matter what, remember that we've seen considerably less of Sawyer in S05 so far - geez, we're only three episodes in. Besides, everybody takes turns at being side persons. Last ep was Desmond-centric and on the island, the writers focused on Locke. Not everybody can be in the spotlight all the time.



I think so yeah. Good riddance. Especially Frogurt.



Because it'd damn better! After spending the better part of 4 seasons asking questions, it's time for some answers! And they only have what amounts to one and a half "complete" seasons (of 24 episodes) to to that. There's a hell of lot of questions I'd like answered before the end, and if they don't get cracking, they won't make it in time. I'm happy the pace has picked up - it ups the ante and really creates tension. Of a different kind than earlier, to be sure, but not a worse kind IMO.

And no, it's not like watching 24. Lost is clearly a gazillion times better.



I vehemently disagree! Example please! I think there's been plenty of nice things in the first 3 eps of S05. Just in ep 3 we got a new Others-motif and some really cool suspense-music while Desmond was poking around Faraday's dismantled lab.



So quit watching. You're pretty quick to pass judgment after only three episodes, I'd say.



Undoubtedly.

Bregt, I'm with you mate. I'm still enjoying it, but doesn't feel like the Lost we know and love. Blame the time travel! It opens too many doors to the writers.

Giacchino isn't getting bored, but I bet he feels a bit rushed. There's not been one scene this season that's been long enough for some decent new music.

We've only got 31 episodes left, so you might as well stick it out.

Fringe is terrible.

It just jumps around some random scenes that have no relevance to each other. And that's meant to keep us interested??

I'm pretty sure the time travel will cease fairly soon, although I don't know it, of course. It definitely won't stop yet - we've yet to see Locke giving Alpert instructions on where to find him when Locke's sitting wounded by the Beechcraft - but I don't believe the time travel thing will continue much longer. If the frequency of the time-shifts is anything to go by, it will stop fairly soon. There was only one in episode 3. Fairly soon I think we'll see the Losties "stuck" wherever they end up. Or rather WHENever they end up.

As for time travel opening too many doors to the writers, I don't really agree - well, at least not in the phrasing. Time travel must have been on the writers' minds for a while (many things point to this - not least of which is Desmonds flitting back and forth), so I don't think it's something they decided to suddenly introduce in order to make life easier for themselves. Actually it must be continuity-hell to write this stuff, which is also why I think it *will* cease fairly soon.

That said, obviously it makes it possible for them to explain a lot of things. But what I'd like to know is exactly to which degree all of this has been mapped out, and for how long. Apart from the time travel being confusing (although I really don't think it's that bad - but then I'm partial to time travel stories and perhaps my mind is warped enough that I understand them fairly easily ), things still make sense, which indicates to me that there's not much coincidental about what we're seeing right now.

If Lost went from being "what we know and love" to being something new, I don't think it's happened with this season. It happened in the transition from season 3 to 4. The O6 left the island, Faraday and his crew were introduced etc. etc. That completely changed the dynamics of the show. Season 5 is just continuing where season 4 left off. When that happened, I was initially somewhat skeptical (and felt pretty much as it sounds to me that you (Anthony and Bregt) do now), but it only took three to four episodes before I was hooked again.

Do you guys really think ALL the questions will be answered? I have my doubts.

Yes, I agree, but I hope they answer most of the questions before. If they don´t, they would have had a good laugh at us.

1 - JACOB

2 - BEN / ALPERT

3 - SMOKEY

Now that you mention Claire....

4 - CHRISTIAN

Plus the whole "You look like someone I once knew" to Ellie. That was a blatant lie (and the writers trying to mindfuck us into thinking he was talking about Theresa.)

Edit: More thoughts - Faraday told Ellie to cover the cracked Jughead with lead and then bury it under concrete. The hatch had thick concrete walls as stated by Sayid. But I can't work out how that could be related to electromagnetism...hmm...

But I think (or hope, rather) the issue of Christian will be resolved along with Jacob.

I want to know what those three toed statues around the island are all about.

What I love from this season is there is a sense of urgency and some kind of climax. 72 hours to go to the island, the island jumping faster and faster in time... We are reaching the resolution. And that's great.

by the way, I don't think there are many questions to be answered. He have pretty much the history done. We only have to know some of the mithology of the island, and the final destiny of the characters.

You can't expect something like a character sitting and speaking all the things. He have to put all the things we have saw together in our head.
