Hello ,

does anyone here watch Lost on chanel 7??

Would like to hear your theorys on the Island and why thery are there??

Is it all in Hurleys mind... is it the secret island where famous people go to hide ....eg Elvis, Buddy Holley , Hitler, Princess Diana etc, etc.

Does the King of the Potato people live there.

Are the wrighters of this program just making it up as they go along.

Is it a military base to train seaweed to fight enemy submarines???

confused and yet intreagued empi.

I download te episodes every week in HD straight from the US.

I won't spoil it...as the next season isn't starting until November.

But there are lots of twists in the next few episodes that will leave you rather shocked/disturbed.

theories...who knows...I've seen some interesting things though..

read this for some background info...

barls ·

i got the last 3 weeks on tape if it helps sam but you have to wait for me to watch it first

zac_smits ·

for those melbournites i can burn season 1 and 2 to dvd if you want to get a bit ahead...(like 5-6eps i think)

hipichic ·

As much as I thought it was a really good episode last night, I still thought it was a copy of a storyline from Buffy.

zac_smits ·

^^hahahaha nope :P

did you want a copy of the newer stuff trace?

you'd have to watch it on comptuer tho...unless you burn/convert it to dvd format.

(all High-Definition avi's. No ads...complete with AC3 sound!)

hipichic ·

It so was, just minus the imaginary friend....lol
nah, I'll stick the tele...it gives me something to look forward to each week
(someone at work offered them to me last week too...LOL!)
I lurve our new LCD tv, we can hook up my laptop to it, so can watch the downloads on the big tele and hook up to the surround sound too.

zac_smits ·

yeh i built a media center for that.

i have 170movies on my computer...

and more than 50seasons of various tv shows.

and then a shitload of music.

all controllable by one remote...and all through the tv and surround sound.

love it!

nicole ·

zac_smits ·

I don't watch it but one thing is certain. For people who are lost and fending for themselves on a "desert island", they are well fed. The fat guy has lost no weight.

Note. Desert island is an abreviation/corruption of deserted island, as in no-one else is there, but clearly someone else is there, so-------------.

I treat it as a variation on one of those survivor shows. I don't watch it, them or big bro.

Lost is a great show. It takes TV back to the 'cliffhanger' episodic shows. As I too have seen the end of Season 2, let me say that if the writers are making it up as they go along, then they are doing an excellent job of it! The continuing use of intertwining character sub-plots is perfectly executed, with an end to Season 2 that you just never would have expected.

Unfortunately, it's not a show you can get into starting part way through the series, or just catching the occassional ep. I started downloading because I'm a shift worker.

zac_smits ·

yeh...some of these intertwined stories are amazing.


they way they link characters together is amazingly well thought out...

71superbug ·

i think i might have to go out and buy the whole first season on dvd then.

as i have watched none of it apart form a maybe 3 episodes total.

and downloading them would take a fair while i imagine.

BenettonVW ·

Zac, I'm with you. I watched the last one a few weeks ago. Bit wierd.

August is the second series of Prison Break. Super sweet.
