kumquatq3 Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 I think he's pure "good", as in he always does what is ultimately best for the survivors. Remember there are two sides on this island. One light, one dark.
Darque Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Puh-lease Locke is an opportunist, that's hardly "pure good". He's already started with the divide and conquer tactics on the group. If anything Locke is the problem.

If anything Locke is the problem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> opportunist???? exactly how? Did I miss an episode? First, he didn't divide the group, Jack and Kate did. He is apparently slowly informing the group of whats really going on as he himself figures it out.
Darque Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Let's see. Keeping the hatch secret and attacking boone cause he wanted to tell his sister. Telling boone not to make an enemy of Sayid cause they'll need him "on their side" Giving Sayid a knife and convincing him Sawyer must have attacked him Do I really need to go on?
PrincessSarah Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 But everything Locke does is for the benefit of the others, in a round about way. Boone had an extremely unhealthy relationship and obsession with his step-sister. Locke got rid of that. Telling the whole group about the hatch before knowing what it leads to would only cause mass panick and chaos amongst the survivors. If I were stuck on that island, I too would want Sayid on my side. Sawyer is not a trustworthy person, so I would want him out of the picture. So yes, a lot, maybe all, of what Locke does may appear to be self serving, but in the end he's helping others as well. Proud purveyor, owner and operator of the Wonder Twins
PrincessSarah Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 ALias is better that last season, but I'm not enjoying the "new baddie" every week for no particular reason thing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I actually liked season 3. It wasn't nearly as good as season 1 or 2, but then again, how do you follow up that? Season 3's ending was very weak. To me it just seems like JJ Abrahms out did himself with Alias 1 and 2, and now in season 4 he's running out of ideas. So far it just seems like the episodes are repeats, but with different outfits and music. Proud purveyor, owner and operator of the Wonder Twins
Darque Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 But everything Locke does is for the benefit of the others, in a round about way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, everything locke does is for his own benefit directly No matter how noble something appears, if the motives aren't pure then it's still tainted.
kumquatq3 Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 If I were stuck on that island, I too would want Sayid on my side. Sawyer is not a trustworthy person, so I would want him out of the picture. actually that lead to Sayid finding the french women Locke is like a prophet or something now
Darque Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 OMG what are jack "and" arvin planning? I wonder if Irena is really dead for some reason.
PrincessSarah Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 TJ and I had a revelation last night... The "island" is the Garden of Eden. That would explain a lot. And Locke? Lock is the snake. Proud purveyor, owner and operator of the Wonder Twins
kirottu Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 "Sent out of Paradise Garden for they sins, the First Couple stole fruits from every tree they passed on their way to the gate, so as to spite their creator. And outside the Garden, crouched against the Wall, they gorged upon the Fruits, eating one after other, until their bodies sickened with excess of it, and they puked them up. And the Seeds of the Fruits were spilled in the dirt, and from them came Monsters of the World, Who were born in filth, And never knew there was such a thing as Love."

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 I can't wait for tonights episode! Who's in the body bag? I hope its Ethan, but my gut tells me that's too easy. Plus a new Smallville with Lois Lane, oh the joy! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Kor Qel Droma Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Did you catch his trademark 'eyes wide open in hobbit amazement' shot? I love the show, but some sort of answers to anything would be nice about now. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Darque Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Some answers would be really nice about now I have a feeling we'll get some shortly.... but with it more questions
Arkan Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 For you fans of the llama song as well as Lost fans: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/sawyer.php "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Darque Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 For you fans of the llama song as well as Lost fans: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/sawyer.php <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OMG It's kinda catchy :D
Phosphor Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Last night's episode was pretty dull. The whole thing was a tedious set up to, wonder of wonders, a big fight. Again. The backstory to Charlie seemed mostly like filler, and could have been pared back to one flashback; yes, we get the idea that he's looking for control of a situation and to look after someone, no need to beat it over our heads. Speaking of that character, I find it very suspect he was able to find a black handgun in the muddy area of a fight at night in the rain and, with no firearms training, be able to shoot Ethan down like that. A small detail in the show, but does anyone know if any of the writers for Lost are fans of The Office? I noticed that Charlie's "love interest" said her father was away to buy a paper company in Slough. A paper company in Slough (UK) being the setting of The Office. I'm beginning to wonder if they're stranded in Newfoundland. It's possible a polar bear could wander down from the northern area of Labrador, it would explain Ethan as he's from Ontario, explain the crazy French woman, and also explain why no-one is looking for them. I think soon they're going to run into someone who says they're From Town.

I remember reading some stuff that new baddie in alias would be some regular from office, because of this.

kumquatq3 Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 ^ the office reference is kinda funny. Didn't notice that! Anyways, I would like to just say that Alias now sucks donkey balls and I stopped watching it.

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 At least last nights episode wasn't as bad as last weeks. I was kind of hoping Ethan would have risen from the dead and killed Charlie again. Maybe next week. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Darque Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 That episode was pretty good I've lost a lot of sympathy for Sawyer though. I'm starting to think Alias is a lost cause at this point.
kumquatq3 Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 That episode was pretty good I've lost a lot of sympathy for Sawyer though. I thought the Jacks dad bit was GRRRRREAT. How do you lose sympathy for Sawyer? I thought it made him a even more tragic figure. I mean, I wouldn't blame him for killing the guy who F'ed his parents, he just got badly tricked. tho he did stiff jack with daddy info, but there is numerous possible reasons for that. I'm starting to think Alias is a lost cause at this point. "Lost" cause is a interesting way to put it, as I think the only thing holding up Alias at this point is having Lost as it's lead in
