'Lost'

[Reply #720 on:]

apparently, the Lost people take longer than a week to make one episode, therefore they can't have a new episode every week. Also they hate me.

[Reply #721 on:]

Hey, why don't they build another raft? Or an airplane?

[Reply #722 on:]

This is 'Lost' and not 'Flight of the Phoenix', Jeremy. 

[Reply #723 on:]

New Lost Episode on tonight in Australia! The Hurley one! Looks awesome.

And they're not Cuban.  Besides, what with the ruffian, psychic child abducting IoM Coast Guard and the resident population of Dharma sharks, the idea of rafting might leave a bad taste in their mouthes.

And that's why I would suggest to build a submarine!

It worked for Bender...

me and my friend had an arguement on the bus about which was better, lost or The OC(my 2nd favorite show besides Futurama, its got the same guy doing the music, Chris Tyng)
it almost got bloody
then we decided how gay it must have sounded, 2 guys arguing over these 2, not very manly, shows

As apposed to the manly Futurama messageboard you post on?

Anyone who likes the OC that much should have his or her head krazy glued up his or her sphincter just so there's no confusion for strangers who might not know any better.

[Reply #729 on:]

Reminds me of that time I had an argument with my sister over which was better - pillows or rocks. I mean, sure, she had a good case with arguing that pillows are comfier to sleep on, but I ask you, can you build a house out of pillows? Of course not, that'd be ridiculous. So, rocks win every time.

Although, I guess it doesn't help that I get the two confused... Well, at least, I did during the fateful pillow fight of 1996.

I don't have a sister anymore.

no you are

[Reply #732 on:]

Why exactly does "Lost" suck?

[Reply #733 on:]

Clearly because not enough of the cast members are pretending to be teenagers.

[Reply #734 on:]

Teenagers suck anyway. They always start to grow out of their roles, which is worse than the lead actress getting pregnant...

Also, OC sucks big time.

That's all. 

[Reply #735 on:]

oh, being stranded on an island is such a new and fresh idea, right?

[Reply #736 on:]

Depends what you make out of it.

Thus, it's something different compared to previous "stranded on an island" shows.

Don't call it that...

[Reply #738 on:]

Crap bag, you are so right.  I mean, Id MUCH rather watch the OC.  Its so totally new, theres never been a teen drama about random stuff happening in their lives involving drugs and sex and being rich and other problems that totally relate to me!

[Reply #739 on:]

Pillows and rocks, people. There's no way to be objective when dealing with something so ridiculous as "which show is 'better'". There's no scale to judge such a thing on, all preferences are obviously based upon personal taste, and I really don't know why i'm even trying here.

[Reply #740 on:]

this is the last thing im gonna say,
gilligins island kicked ass.

[Reply #741 on:]

That's why you hate Lost? Because you already love one Island based show? Ha, what a douche.

[Reply #742 on:]

fighting online is like the special olympics
even if u win, your still retarded

[Reply #743 on:]

As evidenced by your Downs Syndrome-esque grammatical prowess..

[Reply #744 on:]

Ben, comparing his grammar to Down's is an insult to those afflicted with the syndrome.

[Reply #745 on:]

NYERRRRR! GNAAAA! *drooling smile*

[Reply #746 on:]

Ah, what joy I got from reading this page. Sammy, Tears in my eyes. Tears in my eyes. At least you didn't get it the other way round, thats what happened to me in the great rock fight of '03. Needless to say, my sister now no longer has a brother.

[Reply #747 on:]

These goddamn breaks are killing me, but I never got a chance to see that Locke orange scene before in the pilot rerun.. freakin' hilarious!

ooh, zing!

I shall not further comment except that The OC is much less original than Lost, if that's the angle you're going for...that is all.

[Reply #748 on:]

I never did get why Locke had that orange in his mouth. What was the point of that? Humor-wise, it was funny, but was that the only point of that happening?

[Reply #749 on:]

It's a reference to the 1972 film The Godfather. As the title character has grown old and retired, he amuses his grandson by doing that same trick. I suppose it's just something that's amusing.

Or its a connection to Marlon Brando, who played Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, which you could say Locke is based on.

[Reply #750 on:]

Show spoiler

Locke had the orange in his mouth for a variety of reasons.  First, as a cripple, he was never able to reach the oranges at the produce stand.  Like becoming a big-game hunter and surrogate father, eating oranges was something that was always denied to him by his life but was given to him by the IoM.  The fact he gave the old, "orange smiley" to Kate is indicative that she reminds him of his sister, Jeannie, who always used to get a kick out of when he did that.

Also:

Show spoiler

That was a complete lie.

[Reply #751 on:]

^That would have been very convincing, had it not been that it was just about a simple orange.

[Reply #752 on:]

I read that some forgotten Irish police novel that was seen in Lost sold more in three weeks than it did in the years before.

[Reply #753 on:]

Which proves that Lost fans have money.

Or not.

[Reply #754 on:]

I don't have money, and I never heard of that book. I probably saw it in the episode a crap load of times and never noticed it. That's how I am.

[Reply #755 on:]

i heard once that the orange was to represent locke as the 'clown' along with his facial scars and such.. perhaps. but the other remarks here sound more accurate.  at any rate, it's quite amusing.

[Reply #756 on:]

the orange is a symbol for the universe. It's round and if it gets in your eye, it hurts. Just like the universe.

Locke is manipulating the orange for his own amusement, just like he's jerking around with the other survivors on the island. As a result, people will get hurt -- like Boone who got dead because he got some mascara in his eye and didn't see that he was falling off a cliff in an airplane.

I wonder how they clean the IoM monster...

I mean, it's a black smoke machine... Jif or Windex ain't gonna do the job. 

[Reply #758 on:]

He does that with all his food. Pay attention.

Isn't Jif a brand of peanut butter?
