no the recap isn't worth watching.... and neither was this episode. If the next one is this bad I'm going to get in my car and drive all the way to J.J's house and beat the crap out of him!

Reply of the thread so far!

Good job I read the episode spoilers before then :shifty:

Awesome episode.

Hasn't lost its touch. 7 to go.

Need more damn it.

Not a whole lot happened in this episode.

Well, it was a season premiere. You can't expect big revelations.

But we did get

Hurley is one of the Oceanic Six

'They' are making them lie about the fate of the rest of the people on the plane

The survivors split

'Rescue' is here

A glimpse of something in Jacob's cabin

Hurley at Jacob's cabin

Thats a lot for a season premiere.

The recap isn't for fans. Its for casual TV viewers and those wanting to start watching.

The episode was worth watching if you like the show. It is setting up the rest of the series. Note the title 'The Beginning of the End'.

What did everyone expect to happen???

They couldn't have all been rescued in the first episode of the season, we couldn't know who/what the "rescuers" were, and they couldn't kill off a lot of people so early (considering we now know at least 6 people will survive and return to the real world).

I thought the episode was great. Mind you, only a few hours transpired - not nearly as much time as some episodes - but I was kept on the edge of my seat.

I can see it now... people with throw a hissy fit because they aren't being blown away every single episode, that all the questions aren't going to be answered right now, that mysteries are still left hanging, which has always been the very fabric of what Lost is. This will be one of many posts, just like with Heroes, mark my words.

This episode had a lot to offer, and was a great lead up to what is the beginning of the end. I can't wait to see what else is up their sleeves. And no, Michael was not in this episode. We now know that only six were rescued, and that somehow, he or it (sounded like Hurley used both) wants them to go back. Did the rest of the stay? Did most die? Good golly this is going to be sweet!

The only thing I don't like about the rest of Lost is going to be that everyone they show escaping the island ... their fate can't ever be in doubt, because we know that they live.

Unless we are going to get to a point where they can change the future.

Are you guys serious!?! What was good about it... Maybe I missed something. I thought it was awful.

Just Jack pulling the trigger that would have killed Locke made this episode worth watching. Period.

Honestly, this was pretty much what a Lost episode should be. Some answers, some more questions. Stuff happening in between.

That is what Lost is.

I think that's what it's leading to, that we know what can happen, and will ultimately see how things transpire... or maybe they're showing us that this is their fate afterall, but I don't think they would've treated us to that this early, with 47 episodes to go.

I think the direction the show is headed, is going to get more people confused and mad at the show than they already are

I for one and going to hang around even if it get really off the whole point of LOST. I dont like the flash forwards because theres no time period to it and it bring sooo much more questions than the present.

There IS a time period to the flash forwards. We have a date from Jack's flashes in 'Through the Looking Glass' from the newspaper. These flash forwards were clearly before that.

And really, there isn't much of a time period to the flashbacks either, at least not right away until you have more to base them off of.

Unless I misunderstood you, there is a time period to the flash forwards.. we just don't have enough info about them to know it yet. What we do know is that Hurley's flash happened before Jack's flash from the last ep. As we start seeing more of them, it will start to fill in the gaps up until the ultimate conclusion.

edit: looks like episode beat me to it

all i am saying is answer a couple of questions before they go on the the next questions like who is in the casket what are the rescue people's real mission

i know this will all transpire in future episodes but most people stop watching because they can't handle questions without answers

While I agree with what you said in your spoiler, that was pretty cool! But overall I really wasn't impressed. Maybe it will be one of those episodes that will be good after watching the rest of the season. That being said though, with this shortened season, they better start squeezing a whole crap load more in the episodes otherwise they are going to run out of them before we get our answers.

I don't think the shortened season will really change anything. What we might see is that we get this half season because of the strike and then a half season this winter (when we would have gone without Lost). Then they could resume in Feb 2009 without having lost any time.

The answers will come in the logical order as the story unfolds. There's no time for everyone to just sit around and chit chat, 'What about this? And that?' In the midst of being held captive, I'm sure Sayid isn't going to start asking about the four toed statue, or for Bernard to ask how his wife was healed from cancer, or Jin on how his impregnated his wife... come season six, we'll be flooded with answers, such as smokey.

Well the next seven episodes are done, and they're not reshooting, so....

Was that Locke in the cabin?

I think one was Jacob (the brief glimpse of his eye looked similar to the one we saw in the finale of season three) and the other Christian (because of the contour of his hair). How I wish Hurley went inside!

    • It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.
    • That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..
    • It is in fact being discontinued in the US in July.
    • It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
