10/10 for stereotyped images of London. :/

Exactly what I thought.

Did you also see the misspelling of 'honour' on the Army recruitment poster? If you're trying to portray a place as England, at least make the effort of getting the English spelling of such words - especially on a poster for the British Army ffs.

- Wonder where the dart came from.
- Wonder if the curse and the chance of death is gone

Wasn't as good as last weeks.

Are you quite mad? Last weeks was the worst episode of lost, like ever. I'm not just saying that for effect, I actually believe that. It was crappola.

This weeks was ok, nothing bloody happened though :\

Am I the only person who actually enjoys the interaction, the back story of characters, and the slow progression of the plot?

It can take as long as it likes for me, I've rarely been bored by an episode.

Tom, I'm like that. It's why a friends and myself keep watching. We've just got to get the damn answers answered before we can stop watching.

Yes, an excellent episode. A common theme I see is people complaining about the gaps between such episodes, calling them 'boring'. You can't have excellent revealing episodes every week - there would be far too much information to take in.

Better to build the characters, let people understand what makes them tick. I can remember most of the back stories of all the main characters, and I can understand how they are motivated to do the things they do on the island.

For me, the secrets of the island are just the icing on the cake.

Very good episode.

Nothing 'revealing' about it though. It doesn't bother me now, I've given up waiting for 'teh trooth!!!'.

The problem with back-story in situations such as this is that its so bloody crude. When you have spent many years reading extremely talented authors like I have, you feel sick when a tv show shows virtually zero finesse and subtlety when introducing character traits and cunning bits of back story. Before anything major happens they invariably show you the relevant bit of back story from "previously on lost". There is virtually never any real subtlety with it. The reason people think its so deep is because of all the bloody riddles they put in that give the impression of a well thought out and elegantly written story. It's crude and far too addictive, I cant stop watching it :(

I thought it was good, contains spoiler I heard from a friend below (later episode, not yesterdays)

Ben gives information to Loche, so he stops blowing things up - Supposedly

People still watch this garbage?

Well compared to most television it isn't half bad. Why don't you list some of the shows you watch so we can get an idea of much of a hypocrite you are.

Or you could admit that you're a liar by telling us that you don't watch TV. :)

Nice episode. A bit Romeo and Juliet though :). I was convinced they would be saved. Fail.

Outlandish prediction but:

I reckon the island will save paolo as he was trying to do the right and honest thing.
