Lost (TV Series)…

What are the best sites for information and conversation on Lost? We’ve started with these. What else should be here?

I don’t know, Greg. I don’t see how holding a gun to Ben’s head fails to free Kate, while creating an extremely complicated surgery stand-off magically frees her, via walkie-talkie no less!

There are just too many holes in this story-line, in my opinion. It seems like the writers could have made it a lot more plausible with just a little more work. (For example, why even have Jack find the weapons at all?)

And I say this as a person who thinks Lost is the greatest television show in history.

“First of all, why would Jack trade a gun for the opportunity to operate on Ben?”

Jack didn’t just want to escape himself, he wanted to save Kate.

There were a couple things that bothered me in this episode.

First of all, why would Jack trade a gun for the opportunity to operate on Ben? Possibly the gun was loaded with blanks (knowing how tricky the Others are), but there was nothing in the episode to suggest that Jack suspected that. How about holding the gun to Ben’s head and walking out of there instead of a complicated “liver incision” that just gets Kate out?

Secondly, the Monster is back? Where was it during Season 2 when the castaways were traipsing through the jungle non-stop? Suddenly, when a character needs to get whacked, it reappears after a long hiatus.

Lastly, could the introduction of the new characters have been any more ham-handed? “Hi, we’ve been here the whole time but you’ve never seen us before.”

However, just the glimpse of the man with the eyepatch is enough to keep me watching.

Kate’s flashbacks probably were there to parallel the “fake love” she had for both her husband and for Sawyer.

Right, Tim.

Kate’s response in episode 1 was that she would have run. Jack says, “I don’t think that’s true. You’re not running now.”

I believe it was the story when he was operating on a young women and he severed the spinal cord. I believe he said it looked like a bunch of spaghetti. He went on to say that he gave himself 10 seconds to be scared and that was it. Then remember Kate hiding from the “monster” counting to ten in the first episode.

I have a question maybe someone could answer.

At the end of the episode when Jack tells Kate to remember a story he told her on the beach the first day after crash, what was the story?

Yeah, I thought it was Alex. But why would she set him up to see Sawyer and Kate in the cage together?
