Lost - Season Three


Recommended Posts

There wasn't much new info or excitement, but I really enjoyed this episode. It takes me back to when I loved all the characters. I think I at least smiled if not laughed throughout the majority of this one.

I'm glad others have grasped the purpose of the episode. For the last few weeks, and indeed most of this season, we've been bombarded by nothing but misery, misfortune and dread. The castaways, and the audience as well, needed a respite, a moment to feel good again. When Hurley turned that key and the van started, I was just as happy as Sawyer and Jin. Just like Hurley's dad said, everyone needs a little hope now and again.

Exactly. I believe that was the main theme of this show, having hope. Without hope, they might as well go do something to get themselves killed. With hope, they can do more and have something to look forward to now, being rescued or finding out the complete truth of the island and staying. Either way, it removes the despair, dread, etc. that everyone was having.

My only complaint is that they had a little more going on with Russo and Locke, Kate and Sayid, but I don't really think they could've done anything worthwhile to be squeezed in this episode, so I'll take it as is :)

Although I found last weeks episode the worst for a long time I wouldn't say I would ditch the show because of it...yeah we all jump on here and say "its crap" or "I am losing faith" yeah it wasn't good but as someone said they are here to take you on a ride and show you the whole story the bigger picture so I wont ever stop watching it, I will just be unhappy if we had 2 or 3 episodes like Jacks episode in a row where they dont answer as much promised but then again that wasn't the writers fault it was the promo makers fault.

I just finish this ep. They are walking in circles for a chance. Like always.

"You want the numbers again, there you go!". I think they (the producers) believe the viewers will have all the faith they expect to have. Aka, the ppl will watch this show forever.

At least this ep we dont see the Jack stupid smile all the time.

The character-centric episode was pretty good. Somebody complained that there aren't enough likeable characters in Lost anymore. This one about Hurley really brought that back.

It sets the scene for a good episode next week, but I can't help feeling that, if after a week, this is the best they can come up with, they are going to continue to lose viewers. They should increase the frequency of episodes, IMO.

Also, on the promo, doesn't the voice say "for mainland communication, enter 3, 8"? Maybe they send a message to the Hanso Foundation that DHARMA has changed one of the numbers.

Yeah I saw that on the promo and I wonder what the significance of the chess game is...it looks alot like the one the 2 people in the Arctic Station were playing at the end of Season 2

If des saw charlie dying... I mean

if desmond LIVED charlie dying, how is des able to prevent or forsee every posible charlie-dying situation? I mean, the logical thing is that when desmond lived this future we suppose he's lived, charlie died, and end of story. Unless desmond saved him in that previously lived future too, but that wouldn't mean desmond is saving charlie, that would mean desmond is doing whatever he did before.

I mean, if desmond lived it all before, he can't have possible lived every possible variation of that future.

Within the last month I've watched all the season DVDs (through netflix) and caught up on Season 3. I think the series will have to wrap up in season 3. I don't know if I will be able to stand a season 4 as I'm not sure the story line has anywhere left to go besides

explaining the stupid smoke stuff that comes out of the island and kills people

.

I've enjoyed the series though!

I've pretty much become addicted to Lost as much as I am to Prison Break and Heroes (and only started watching it 2 days ago - went through all 3 seasons).

But I totally hate the way they've suddenly introduced the 2 new "characters" (that blonde chick and unshaved guy) who came out of nowhere and are suddenly part of the group and are aware of everything that is going on. It simply doesn't feel right (and they're horrible actors to boot).

they're not part of the group yet and i doubt they're aware of everything

sawyer 'asked who the hell are you?' to the chick and their only involvement so far was going with locke, sahid and ecko to the other hatch

Episode 14 we find out how they got there supposedly along with new footage of the plane crash...

I hate those two as well, I hope they write them out of the show. I read somewhere that there was a scene that introduces them, but it got cut out to fit the show into an hour.

Theres alot of scenes that are cut out because I was watching an interview with Cuse and Lindelof and they said when Kate had tea with Ben in the first episodes of Season 3 there was a scene where Kate tried to escape her handcuffs but that was cut and put as extra on the dvd when its out...

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
