Lost (UK)

[Mile-O]

So, is anyone else watching this in the UK?

 

[commandolomo]

Yep, and am fricking loving it! Thanks to an imported US Box Set and good old Bit Torrent, I am up to Episode 7 of Season 2 - the scope and depth of the storylines are awesome!

You into it?

Yep, I'm up to S02E07 too. I suppose the US thread, then, is for us.

Can't you leave the spoilers out, delete this post, and post it on the Lost (US) thread?

Done as requested

If your in the UK hop over to www.playusa.com and get the entire first season of Lost on DVD for less than what you pay in the shops over here for the first 12!

Great series, can't wait for series 2!

The last episode on "proper" terrestrial TV (Channel 4 Wednesday night) was Episode 17 ...In Translation.

This weeks is Numbers which sounds fantastic.

Hurley's story. It's good, little touch of humour, and begins to create even bigger mysteries.

 

[lynsey2]

Hurley's story is the one i saw, and im not so sure ... it was a bit far fetched ... (not that the bear wasn't mind you) i donno, i was looking foward to his story too

Thing i like about the story idea is that a lot of them are linked before the crash eh!

Yeah, they all seem to appear in each other's flashbacks - not always obvious - but there's certainly something connecting them.

 

[Monopot]

Yeah totally gripped with Lost. can't wait for series 2 now. On a side note I have to saw when watching the making of it on the Series 1 DVD, the bit from episode 1 when sawyer shoots the polar bear had me in fits of laughter!!

The full series box set is worth buying it for this alone!! Oh and when you see Sayid's audition tape. God was that a shocker

Please note - these aren't spoliers!

Did anyone see the report on the writer who is suing because he claimed he had already written this in the seventies? I guess anything that makes a lot of money in America attracts the lawsuits...

[Mile-O]

I heard.

Regarding these make moeny/sue cases I would have loved for Dan Brown to lose his case against Lewis Perdue but, when the judge uses the exact same words as Random House used as their defence to stop the case getting to court I suspect a rat. That, and Dan Brown's unwillingness, or his lawyer's advice, not to go under oath as saying he wrote the book, he hadn't heard of Lewis Perdue, and that he researched the book ( ).

 

[lynsey2]

people pretty much sue for anything in the states eh! (ooh thats quite a general remark ... no offence ment folks)

how many series is it going to have?

heehee i watch nip/tuck afterwards! OMG by the way! NO wonder thats on later at night, that top shelf stuff for the most part eh!

hey! sunday nights my chill out and brain freeze night! i dont watch all the other rubbish on tv

 

[reclusivemonkey]

You need to get yourselves PVRs! Watch what you want, when you want. I didn't have a TV for about five years because TV just didn't hold my attention. The times I did want to chill out and watch something there was never anything on. When I go round to my gf's now and just can't pick what I want to watch from a list of things I like, its like going back into the archaic past! I think you can pick up a freeview box with a hard drive in now fairly cheap. I put a donated PC and £20 bargin bin TV card together and installed MythTV, which is fantastic. If you're not a Linux buff, it can be a chore to set up (I actually didn't have too much trouble once I worked out the frequencies for the channels and the sound channel settings); there is KnoppMyth now though, which is MythTV+Knoppix for an easy installation.

Carefull, they'll sue you for that comment.

how many series is it going to have?

Uknown. The producers know how they want the show to end, having created a story arc. I suppose it will have as many series as the viewing figures allow and, when they start to drop, it will conclude.

 

[statsman]

A&E Network in the States has a series called "Intervention". Usually about drug, sex or gambling addictions and friends trying get the afflicted on to seek help. Really good the other week when the target of the show was a cosmetic surgery junkie. Tall, really good looking blonde in her 40s who had already had over 100 surgeries and was planning more.

Dart Players alway have a point.

 

[lynsey2]

ooooh well .... that’s a whole other story! Maybe we should do a plastic surgery topic? real life or TV ... hmmmm busy busy the now but I might just do that, bet there will be some great opinions(arguments) on here about it.

Anyway LOST! its really good eh! i wonder if the transmission on the wee plane has sparked folk to look for them? hmmmmm and oh ya! I wouldne want to be near the hatch when that bl00dy light came on anyway ... nae chance! If i saw that i would be swimming home! in any direction.

(i never saw it last night so im the catch up on sunday mind ...)
