larrygator Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Naomi did tell Miles, there are dead people "living" on the island. Daniel's back which didn't surprise me. The thing that still pisses me off is that the trailers are so misleading. Last week's trailer implied that Marvin Candle told Miles never to return to the island.

Meteornotes Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 ^Always remember that the trailers are not made by anyone associated with the show, but network goons. So the show producers don't really have any control over them. I really liked last night's episode. Hurley is awesome! dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I usually don't watch the trailers anyway. More of a shock factor when you're watching an episode you have seen nothing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 One week he makes a BTTF reference, the next he tries to be the original writer of The Empire Strikes Back. Hurley rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hurley has always been a character that's easy to like. Daniel coming back seemed inevitable, and it's probably a good thing that we have an expert on time travel back to hopefully offer some explanations. We get a nice back story on Miles and that's great, but what I don't care for is how long it's taken to get so many of these character back stories, and how unclear it is as to what they actually have to do with each other. Some of the characters whose back stories were told long ago have now essentially disappeared from the overall story. Among the more notable (at least to me) would be Locke's dad. Yeah, I know Sawyer killed him, but death doesn't seem to preclude anyone from popping back into the story at any time. We also still have Walt and Michael floating around who-knows-where. Claire has been largely ignored for a while now, as have Bernard and Rose, Anna Lucia, Charlie, and many other characters that just aren't popping into my mind at the moment. All those characters had their back stories told in such a way that we could make an emotional investment in the character, only to have them put up on a shelf. The problem that I see them running into to is: There will be far too many intertwined stories to wrap up before this show ends its run. That being the likely case, why did they waste our time by elaborating on people that, in the end, won't be able to be included in any finality of the show simply due to the excessive number of characters involved? Unless, maybe, they have some great unifying storyline, I can't help but think that the ultimate ending is going to be a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 ^ Hey, ya can't please everybody, hmm? Garlic mayo - mmmmm. And I wonder if the writers are going to give Hurley more iconic not-yet-made (in their timeline) movie references in any future eps? The Matrix, or Lord of the Rings, perhaps?

Mechanic Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I doubt that Daniel is dead. If Richard could magically heal young Ben, then what's to stop him from healing Daniel? But yes, I agree the poor dude is under some serious stress from mother issues. Does the character Eloise remind anyone else of the portrayal of Roger Waters' mother from the Pink Floyd movie, "The Wall"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 ^ I agree, that could happen with Daniel. Good old Richard, lol. Edit to add, that the smoke monster could be part of it/the healing process, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Daniel is not dead. I think Kate and Jack are reading his journal (which was on his person) when he got shot. I don't see how they would get the journal off of Daniel's dead body, I'm sure the others would keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I really enjoyed Daniels character on LOST. But, I do believe he is gone for good. After he was shot in the chest he certainly looked dead. (not justed wounded like young Ben) Also, when Daniels mom slapped Widmore, and talks about the sacrifice she made. I wish he wasn't dead, but I'll be very surprised if he's still alive. The show has never flinched at killing off the cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^ You're forgetting something, Locke should have died many times but is still living, Ben probably should have died by now and Richard lives forever. And Mikhael came back from several deaths. If the island doesn't want him dead, he is still alive. Remember, Michael wasn't allowed to die until the boat exploded.

Electerik Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^ It's really not even clear that Michael, as a character, is "dead"--since Christian speaks to him just before the explosion and tells him, "You can go now." (Which can be interpreted at least two different ways.) However, considering the bad mouthing the actor who plays that character has engaged in against the producers, I doubt he'll be back.

Homeboy23 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Dead or alive we will probably see him atleast once more before the series ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^^ That actor's already in a new tv series, The Unusuals. So good luck to him with that. As for the character of Daniel... who knows? Anything is possible (now) with this island, yes? No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 ^ Richard also had a new show and look what happened. Michael could come back for an episode or two. I doubt the Unusuals will last. Last nights episode was awesome, I can't wait to see what happens in the season finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrock23 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I still think there will be a scene next season where everyone who has died/left will be back on the island. Maybe I'm just dreaming, but it could be explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Last nights episode was awesome, I can't wait to see what happens in the season finale. I kept wondering when last night's episode was over - how the heck were they going to do next week's Finale? It looked like it was becoming so much to cover, now. Amazing... Obviously, they got off the sub, judging by the preview, but....? And it looks like for now, it's between 2007 and 1977, lol. I'm also wondering if they'll ever go back to some of the original minor characters that got split up from the leads, etc. when the time-flashes, happened "three years ago"? But for now... Can - not - wait - till - next - week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrock23 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 So who's ready for the finale? Things are going to get crazy, i've got a big party planned, complete with some dharma beer. Bring it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 A co-worker is hosting a party tomorrow that I will be attending. Everyone needs to bring a LOST snack/entree/drink tied in to a character. I'm bringing dessert, "Ices" in recognition of the polar bears. We are also contemplating have each person pick a name and the whole evening they have to act and speak in the persona of the character they pick.

dandaman Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 The LOST fans among my circle of friends have started to figure out which characters we'd all be, and oddly enough each one of us matches up to one of the (relatively) major characters. Apparently I'm a healthy mix between Faraday and Ben. // Is one part time-travelling physicist, one part conniving bastard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazekiddd Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Wow, this already is going to be an interesting episode. I'm glad it's here but I'm sad that after tonight we have almost 9 months to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 So I just got caught up in anticipation for the finale tonight! I had missed all episodes since April 15th. Some interesting stuff for sure! - I feel that Daniel is dead. - Daniel's mom is bad. - I'm starting to not like Locke again since he's getting all crazy. - Sayid is still hot. - So over the Sawyer and Juliet thing...loved the reactions when Kate got on the sub! - Miles and Chang stuff was pretty awesome. - Love this show!!!!
