The answer will generally be Flash in a foot race but Superman if he's allowed to fly, but rarely do the writers or editors definitively let one win an equal race. < /geekitude >Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-76713700278550511252009-11-16T21:16:56.836-05:002009-11-16T21:16:56.836-05:00I must admit that I haven't finished watching ...I must admit that I haven't finished watching the last ep of S3 yet probably because I don't want S3 to end - for me it was the best. Especially because at last some progress FINALLY started to happen.<br /><br />I also just remembered that at the time it was first screened I thought that if they didn't do any more I could live with it. It would have ended being a 'don't wish too hard for something coz you might get it' sort of story. <br /><br />But frustrated as S3 was supposed to be about the Others and even after five seasons - the key questions for me about them are unanswered (which must mean they're integral to the core story of Lost doesn't it).glfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216711472123048055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-7803549049098941472009-11-15T19:55:50.928-05:002009-11-15T19:55:50.928-05:00Hey Nik, remember the mobisodes that are included ...Hey Nik, remember the mobisodes that are included with the fourth season DVD set? What do you think about tacking them onto the fourth season rewatch? There are 13 of them, each about two or three minutes. Maybe we could do three a week and four the last week? You cover them in your fourh season guide on Pp. 131. Or maybe you have another idea? It would be nice to work them into the rewatch, wouldn't it?JWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-84487741905890382152009-11-15T12:20:56.821-05:002009-11-15T12:20:56.821-05:00not much to add- much as I love the early seasons,...not much to add- much as I love the early seasons, from the second half of this one, all the way through to the end of Season 5, Lost really raises the bar for me. The idea of the flash forward and getting off the island seems so obvious in retrospective - pure genius. This is where the story turns from being a tale of castaways on a mysterious island to something more far reaching and mythic. <br /><br />I also love the contrast between Ben at the end of this season and the season 4 finale.

If you don't you will be sentenced (still love that joke!!!). It will fall on your shoulders to decide, who is faster, Flash or Superman? Actually Desmond--faster than a speeding arrow.<br /><br />@Nikki: Finally, got my copy of Finding LOST Season 5. I think rather than rake leaves, I'll while away the weekend reading. Now I am just awaiting DVDs for Season 5. Soon, soon.<br /><br />With the end of Season 3, the show takes on a new direction. We have learnt enough about the island itself, with only a few more surprises in store. But it is the groups contesting the island that will make up the bulk of Seasons 4 & 5. <br />Each significant alteration in the direction of the narrative seems marked by a major character's death:<br /> Boone--hatch (Arzt is a minor)<br /> Shannon--meeting between one group and the other.<br /> Ana Lucia/Libby--return of Ben to Others; Michael leading firends to Others.<br /> Cooper--Locke joining the Others.<br /> Charlie--rescue.<br /><br />I find Eko's death to be anomalous; as it just doesn't fit in with the pattern, probably due to the actor's leaving the show. Kate's decision to rescue Jack did not hinge on Eko's death, nor did it affect Locke's decision to blow up the sub. <br /><br />Season 3 also raised the issue of time travel, and how it played out between Desmond and Charlie. If executives were initially worried about defining LOST as Sci-fi, by now we were hooked and fans loved it. I suspect the executives would have thought LOST would jump the shark with references to time travel, but bravo to the writers, the show keeps going, and the shark keeps swimming with its Dharma logo on its side. I wonder if it too is time traveling?

I sure would not have predicted that when season 4 or 5 began!<br /><br />It is also interesting to me how the season’s slow down as we go along. Season 1 took about 40 days and season 2 another 40 or so. Seasons 3 and 4 only cover two or three weeks of island time. Season five appears to take up two and a half to three years off island, or in the past, but I’m not clear how long Rose and Bernard thought had passed on island. As far as we know Rose and Bernard are the only ones still doing island time, or maybe the Others are too??? I hope season six doesn’t get me any more confused!!!celandinehalethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00256173806090663080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-41794275252589416392009-11-13T22:41:59.584-05:002009-11-13T22:41:59.584-05:00Nikki props to you for keeping up with this rewatc...Nikki props to you for keeping up with this rewatch blog when most of the other sites gave up long ago.<br /><br />I don't have much to add to your recap, you did a very comprehensive wrap-up of the season 3.<br /><br />I didn't see a problem with Jack focusing on the Others' imminent attack; what's the good of trying to turn off the jamming and Danielle's message when there are Others with guns on the way.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542493291509778907.post-55997513704135940902009-11-13T21:09:56.660-05:002009-11-13T21:09:56.660-05:00Imho the second half of season three is as good as...Imho the second half of season three is as good as Lost has ever been.<br /><br /> -TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
