that was a good one
I think that the score is, arguably, one of the greatest single things about the series.
LOST is the only series that I have an urge to rewatch from start to finish. I will do so at some point.
Mikal, what did you think of the music? I think that the score is, arguably, one of the greatest single things about the series.
Yeah, I read that online as well, that most people hated Season 3. I wonder if my love for it is due to the fact that I didn't have to wait a week between episodes.

I think that is nothing more than a 'groupthink' reaction regurgitated by people trying to justify why they quit watching at some point. Personally, I'd rank Season 3 among the best 3 or 4 seasons of the show.
Most people didn't hate Season 3 at all. The last 1/3 of Season 3 is some of the best American broadcast TV ever, including that BRILLIANT season finale.
Basically early Season 3 was when the stalling began. It was during the mid-Season 3 hiatus that they struck the agreement to end the series. At that point, you first heard the name 'Jacob' in the first episode coming back. In other words, that was when they started to begin to wind it down.
All that said, early Season 3 definitely plays better watching on DVD. In real time, it was brutal. I haven't heard that many complaints about the early run of Season 3 (read: stuck in the cages) from people that have caught up with the series after Season 3 aired. But yeah, it is definitely a low point.
Funny enough...the concept of 'let's have them trapped in cages' was JJ's last contribution to LOST and his only contribution beyond the first six episodes.
He also did some BS like that on Fringe. He helped create it, went off and did his own thing, then came back and had them put in those 'super soldiers' in one of the season (was it 2?) premieres.
JJ can direct a popcorn film, no question about it, but as far as creative ideas, he's a little thin. Good thing he's not penning Star Wars VII.
Was able to check another cast member off my sighting list tonight, and I actually got to talk to this one.
Let's just say Charlotte is just as hot as she was on the show, if not hotter. Really nice too.
I wish I could watch this for the first time again. Nothing like your first time.
I still maintain that Walkabout is one of the finest hours on television, and that Lost had the best pilot of all time.
But, since you brought up Juliet,
can anyone who wants to make the case that everything that happened on the island is supposed to be real explain the following.
when she was banging on the H Bomb trigger device, and we get this huge explosion, 2 feet from her, that does not blow her to kingdom come,
we see her in the same condition as before the blast?
The island was not the afterlife. That's what the alternate timeline was in the 6th season only. When Christian explains to Jack that "it's a place you all created so you could find each other", he wasn't talking about the island, but the Los Angeles in the "flash sideways" segments. One by one they "wake up" and realize where they are, and Jack is the last to understand. The island being some sort of purgatory was shot down long ago.
As for how the bomb exploding didn't destroy Juliet immediately (it would have killed all of them considering how close they were to it), it's kind of a pointless question to ask when the bomb somehow transported them from the 1970s back to their own time. This is something that Faraday had calculated: either the bomb's explosion would interact with the electromagnetic anomaly inside the island to cause the time shift they were hoping for, or it would kill all of them. It's the chance they took. It worked.
Man, this thread takes me back. This message board used to rock.
