"Lost" TV Show - Currently Season 2 (US aired)

[Rappy Veteran]

Yeah same here, but I think it's only fair. Not our fault that Channel4's budget is so stingy.

Side-note: How much of a scam are the DVD sets over here?! Releasing Season 1 as two sets so they could get more money out of us and more people would watch the 2nd half on Channel4 :(

Personally I only saw the last two or three episodes of Season 1 and then picked it up from Season 2. Seems to me like Season 2 has all the interesting bits?

funny you say that I stopped watching season 1 4 episodes before the end and then watched 9 episodes of season 2 straight off so I was up to date...many friends of mine are up to date in season 2 as well so its cool...hate being behind others...or "the others" :rofl: :laugh:

the box sets are a con...2 parts make it pricey and I want to get them but not that badly...rather wait till theres a complete season1...there is for america i think.

[-Dave-]

yea its out soon here soon i think - January 16th to be exact!

Yeah I'll get my sets ordered over from the US aswell, I think they're probably cheaper over there than they are over here anyway.

It's the same with CSI but I think they do that in the US too to make it more affordable. Season 1 episodes 1.1 to 1.11 (3 discs) and Season 1 episodes 1.12 to 1.24 (3 discs) for example. Damn HMV trying to charge you ?45 for 3 discs of CSI >_<

Lost - The Complete First Season DVD (2004)

Buy new: $38.98 = ?22.65

That's from amazon.com, bear in mind amazon.co.uk charge ?24.99 for each half! Typical rip-off Britain!

woooo....time to make a purchase...on the american amazon :yes:

[Syphonic]

Im actually extremely ****ed off to find they now sell 'complete season's of CSI for less than ?30 on amazon uk. I am never buying anything in a high street electronics store again! They are a total rip-off!

[Pc_Madness]

Oi, check my location mate, I'm not a bleedin' yank :p Also, it was in spoiler tags so it's not my fault if you're too curious :)

Sorry, was just generally cursing at time zones.. if it says it airs on the 11th, then it should be my 11th damnit.. I have to wait till 4pm-ish the next day :(

Here are some other things which will be in tomorrow's episode apparently, warning, may spoil it slightly.

"Eko [is] connected into the story of the drug plane," says executive producer Carlton Cuse. "People are curious about where that plane came from. We're gonna explain that." And what's Eko been up to with that big stick he's always carrying around? Reveals executive producer and cocreator Damon Lindelof, "He's carving Scripture on it." Remember the monster? We last saw it in May's season finale, when it appeared as a slithering mass of black smoke. "We will be seeing the monster in the January 11 episode," Lindelof says. Indeed, one character will have an up-close-and-personal encounter with the thing so viewers will get a better, longer look, too. Source: TV Guide (Printed edition)

Personal theory:

I don't think Eko was on the main plane. I think he either survived the drug plane crash, was the sole survivor and therefore turned to religion since those were the only resources he had, or he knew about the drug plane and was trying to locate it, hence his reaction when he found out Charlie knew where it was. Eko didn't appear to be looking for the drug plane before, but seemed very at home in the jungle.

that is a verry good therorie , seeing the Real one and then your personal theorie, seems, at least to me, fir right in.

[Syphonic]

OK I'm changing my theory now based on new info I have. Warning: The spoiler in my spoiler tags is a real one, it will ruin tomorrow's episode for you if you look at it! You have been warned.

Facts:

Eko is a Nigerian warlord. He goes into a church and demands that the minister in the church (Eko's brother) ordains him as a priest. (We will see this as a flashback tomorrow).

Speculation:

I'm thinking therefore that the drugs on the plane belonged to Eko. The religous theme was his cover for moving the drugs in and out of Nigeria to whatever the closest country is to the island. Sheer coincidence (as seems popular on the show) means that Eko has crash landed onto an island where one of his shipments went missing. He does not know this of course until he finds out that Charlie has a virgin mary statue. His interest is sparked, he sees the statue and instantly recognises it as one of his.

As for the gifs posted a few pages back which supposedly show the black smoke monster hitting the engine in the pilot causing it to blow up, the guys at The Fuselage say:

the explosion of the engine was caused by a guy getting sucked up into the works, not the smoke monster. whatever it is that people see on the freeze frame - it is NOT the black smoke monster.

The theory's about

Eko being party of a drug trafficking ring

seem quite probable after viewing those 4 clips on tv.com.

This is going to be one kickass episode :)

[thetechroom]

One thing I gotta say about the member ID puzzle is to watch the upcoming episodes for clues.

I'm sure you wouldn't be able to get into that site by guessing, maybe they have a strange/ID for a reason?

[Syphonic]

Are we so sure that site is even real though? It doesn't exactly look too professional and why would a swedish domain lead you to the puzzle?

[Klownicle]

The Dharma Flash Thing, with memberid, has no information, its going by a directory based.

	if (Key.getCode() == 13)
	{
		state = -1;
		loadVariables("check.php?code=" + memberid.text, "");
		gotoAndPlay(2112);
	} // end if
};

Is the code.. what its saying is take the text from the input and go to that site. the php file will do the rest, so it could be anything :(

Isn't that how one would expect it to work?

[Pc_Madness]

Is that MemberID as in "13" or a Carriage return? (Ascii 13)

I really can't figure out how to get around this ip check anymore :\

And accessing /check.php?code=13 doesn't work anyway... :\

[Syphonic]

Pc_Madness: You get around the IP check by just refreshing the page. It's random.

i believe your theory.. but you're a little late... i had the exact same theory that i posted on dec 1st..lol

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...=224293&st=1455

[-Dave-]

ignore the whole get code bit thing. that just tells the flash what to do when u press enter

the script takes the value of memberid u inputted and sends it to check.php. ifits right u get a nice output of a url which is the location of the next part of the puzzle

Read my revised theory. I think it's more likely

the Oceanic flight has crashed by pure coincidence onto an island which happens to contain a downed drug plane which is connected to one of the passengers.

Anyway, we need more conspiracy theories about the monster since it's being revealed today supposedly.

[gertin]

I really hope this episode delivers something cool, not just another flashback or something.

[clonk]

I really hope this episode delivers something cool, not just another flashback or something.

Every episode will have a flashback, that is part of the show's formula. The show wouldn't be half of what it is without them.

Argh....8 hours and counting.
