I figured I would start a thread for this and see what happens....there seemed to be quite a few viewers on the board for this show the past few weeks.....I like the direction the show is taking so far......episode 3 tonight at 7 central on ABC....

That's an interesting theory about him, but I don't think that's it.

Oh, and if you ever mount the temerity to ask 'how?' just shake your head and say 'forget it Reaper, it's Chinatown.'

I imagine that no episode would look good following up "The Constant," but even if "The Other Woman" didn't come right afterwards it'd still be a meh episode. The episode happened to feature one of the worst exchanges of dialogue all series:

Julliette: It's pretty stressful being an Other, Jack

Jack: She seemed pretty Hostile, even for a therapist.

UGH.

I have a theory on why on the Lostpedia forums, they find that the worst season.

Maybe a lot of people who thought season 2 was the best started not liking the show after season 2 so those people don't post on there.

The doctor on the frigate looks just like Scott Pioli:

I liked "Ji Yeon." The narrative trickery of having a Sun flashforward and a Jin flashback was cool to me. When Jin showed up to the Ambassador's daughter's room it was apparent that he either didn't make it off the island, that he isn't a member of the Oceanic Six (which I guess we knew because of Aaron but then Ben was also off the island and oh whatever).

Anyway, Yunjin Kim is the best actor on this show and Daniel Dae Kim isn't far behind her.

No.

Oh shit, Scott Pioli just washed up on shore during the opening of "The Shape of Things to Come." Which Planeteer was the culprit?!?

**Reaper16** · 06-15-2010, 10:58 PM

Damn. If Claire had died from that rocket launcher attack on her house in the Others village then Lost would have instantly become the best show ever. Missed opportunity.

**Reaper16** · 06-15-2010, 11:27 PM

"The Shape of Things to Come" is aptly titled. What a gamechanger! That episode was more fun to watch than "The Constant." All kinds of shit going on, new questions to ponder, an abrupt shift in show direction, and a teenager straight getting murdered on-camera. **** and yes. If only Claire's annoying ass would have been incinerated this episode would have been my favorite of the whole show so far.

Season 4 has been, so far, the best of the seasons that I have seen. I wonder if not focusing on Jack and Kate has anything to do with it.

**Buck** · 06-16-2010, 12:03 AM

Glad you like it. I think you'll like Season 5 a lot too. 4 and 5 are similar.

I thought the same thing. I wanted Kate to die as early as Season 3.

Indeed. 4 and 5 are very similar.

**Reaper16** · 06-16-2010, 12:56 PM

Hah, soon as I start musing about a correlation between season 4's strength and a relative lack of Jack and Kate then here comes a Jack-centric episode. It was useful for, well, pretty much nothing. The flashforward just reiterates that the Oceanic Six are off the island but unhappy and the B-story of Jack's appendectomy was stupid, mostly because there's no drama involved seeing as we know Jack doesn't die from it or anything. Boring episode, the only poor one of the season so far.

Red Brooklyn · 06-16-2010, 01:54 PM

I recall reading once upon a time that Jack's appendectomy was going to be a much bigger deal before S4 was forced to be shortened by the writer's strike.
