LOST fans ... Anyone left??? [Warning: spoilers]

Did anyone else laugh a little when Sayid cheesily surfaced from the water like he was in Mission Impossible or something?

I'm glad Desmond is going to be back in the picture.

Also, when Sun and Jin are in that hotel, they used the same comforter and pillow cases that I have from Target! I have to say I was kind of overly enthused about it! 

WWWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWW I liked this episode a lot!  Will keep quiet until the weekend though :-)

Yeah I liked this one. I saw all the twists coming a mile off, though. 

...and for some reason my other half didn't realise we already knew Charles Widmore + Eloise Hawking -> Daniel, which is strange because he always picks up on little nuances that I miss, so this time I was the one to remember it!

(not a spoiler, since we already knew this. They just made it really obvious this week!)

Can't wait to see it tonight. 

I love love loved this episode!  Nice to get an idea about this whole alternate scenario that has been taking place.

I wanted to post this also!!

My favorite episode EVER. 
Of course it was about my favorite character and storyline, but I'd still like to think it was done beautifully.
I wasn't surprised, nor put off, at the beginning; showing Des working for Charles... but THEN.
LOVED LOVED LOVED IT.
I'm 99% sure at least this storyline will tie up nicely; they'd upset too many fans if Des and Penny weren't together happily ever after...

Like others, Des is easily my fave character by 1000 miles and Des and Penny are easily my fave relationship.  I did like the episode and am so glad we are finally moving the story.

BUT I really think this is where we should have been about 4 or 5 episodes into this season.  And, I don't need firm confirmation on the things they have already given the clues about.  I need more clues and mystery to move the pace.  Like they have already set up the clues for several episodes that the realities bleed and that the Losties are aware of the alternate timeline.  I don't need that tied in a bow and neatly in a my lap, when we aren't moving onto the next mystery/storyline. 

This show used to be so much more about clues and leaving the viewer to expand that in their head.  You know just enough to go in a couple of different directions -- and that was the fun.  Now it just seems like it is slow and the writers are literally "hey, did you understand that storyline are you ready to move to the next story."  It is clunky.  And it has dumbed down.  This isn't why I love the show.

But I am glad to know, in any reality, Des and Penny luuuuuuv each other.

Here's an article about Lost that describes the way I now feel about the show.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I'm feeling right now too. I've been away for the last 2 months, so I've had to catch up on the last few episodes of Lost, and I have to admit that I'm getting confused about all the different timelines and plot points now.

I just have to say though, that Daniel's drawings in the latest episode are really bugging me. He called it quantum mechanics, but the diagrams and the equation contained no quantum mechanics at all... it was actually special relativity (how sad is it that I know that? ).

My husband just confirmed that indeed it was not quantum mechanics...

OK, I have two questions for those that have stuck with Lost. We only ever watched series 1 and then it went over to Sky and we didn't have Sky then. I wasn't too bothered as I heard series 2 & 3 went a little, well, unbelievable.

1) What series is currently on now (i.e. how far behind are we)?

2) And is it worth hiring the series we have missed to catch up now that we do have Sky and why is it worth it / or not? 

OK, sorta 3 questions.....

We're on season 6 now, which is the final season (only a few episodes left now). Season 5 and 6 are shorter than the other seasons though - only 16 episodes each, I think.

2) And is it worth hiring the series we have missed to catch up now that we do have Sky and why is it worth it / or not? 

I'm not sure, to be honest. Personally, I don't think any of the seasons were as good as season 1. Maybe it's worth waiting until all of season 6 has been aired (I think we've only got 5 weeks left, as last week was episode 11), when we'll know if they managed to tie up all the loose ends or not... if not, it might not be worth watching all the other seasons .

Thanks, ksand. I won't worry too much if I give it a miss then!  Mr MLG and I have talked about hiring it and it doesn't seem worth it.

Love Des and Penny and loved this episode! But wish Charlie wasn't so insane and dark and whatever in his alternate timeline. I loved Charlie!

I knew that too! It's probably the first time I've used my physics degree since I graduated (how sad is that? )
