On average…there was a power outage and a few days of bonus money shopping sprees thrown in there. Plus we have 5 pets and a round trop commute of about an hour and a half from our house to the building we both work in. We had our share of stints of 5 hours straight of nothing but Lost.
We had a couple of days off together in the middle of last week, and we were originally going to go camping, but…
“Oh look. It’s kinda rainy and a little bit cold. Not really camping weather right? Let’s just lay in bed and watch Lost for 2 days and give ourselves back problems!!!”
While I have had a similar discussions about comics versus trade paperbacks, I wonder do DVD viewers enjoy Lost as much as weekly (or semi-weekly!) viewers?
One of the great things about Lost is the ending of each week’s episodes leaves you wanting more. The anticipation for a new episode, ESPECIALLY in Season 1, was what made the show for me.
Plus, there is a certain “water cooler” aspect of the show (though my water cooler is Cafe Society).
When people blow through it in a few days, I doubt they can possibly enjoy it as much weekly viewers. Just when they think, “what’s going to happen next?!” they find out.
I am not criticizing people who watched it on DVD. Either they came to it late (better late than never) or they just prefer it that way (I am on the Trade paperback side of the comic book debate), I just think a serial mystery like Lost HAS to be better with delayed gratification.
I was wondering the very same thing. As a weekly watcher (since the pilot episode), one of the things I love about the show are the hidden easter eggs they usually hide in each episode. The weekly break (or at this rate, bimonthly) allows you to dig around on the internet and ruminate with the fan-base about these hidden goodies that you may have missed yourself on the first go around. For instance, the dharma logo on the shark fin, I would have never seen had I not been reading the thread for that week. I can’t help but think those that wait for the DVDs miss out on one of the great things about the show.
Damn, John, that’s three different references right there. Couldn’t you have wiggled in a Die Hard reference while you were at it? Jeez…talk about slacking off…
So that seemed like a memory that was a mixture of before the flight and after the kidnapping… unless Ethan was a doctor that saw her before she got on the plane – but that seems unlikely.
Is it just me or is the noise accompanying the flashbacks the same as the alarm when the numbers are hitting zero? Does the bunker she was kept in have the same sort of countdown system?
I’m sure his has something to do with the vaccine that Desmond was shooting himself up with. Too bad he didn’t stick around long enough to tell them what that was all about.
Someone refresh my memory, please. The dream Claire had with the airplane mobile - was it before or after the kidnapping? Likewise for her humming that song. Because if that was all before the kidnapping… weird.
