'I did not ask Kim about secrets, stories, plot developments or.'
Whats the point? by damned-dirty-ape	Nov 19th, 2007 02:13:11 AM
Jesus, this ws boring. AICN really is losing it's touch
Floundering since Season 1? by Shivv	Nov 19th, 2007 02:22:40 AM
Someone please revoke Quint's Coaxial posting privileges.
Shivv by Ribbons	Nov 19th, 2007 02:30:46 AM
Depends on your point of view, I guess. "Floundering" may be too harsh a word (or too generous depending on your particular brand of fandom), but I would agree that Season 1 is clearly better than Seasons 2 and 3.
Also... by Ribbons	Nov 19th, 2007 02:33:28 AM
I was surprised at how insightful Kim's comments were.
meh by kobain	Nov 19th, 2007 02:47:02 AM
I stopped reading right after the "spoiler" did you do that too?
No mention of Angel? Wait 'til Herc reads this! by tonagan	Nov 19th, 2007 05:33:06 AM
It's gonna get ugly.
Jin will be dead by season's end, mark my words... by Sledge Hammer	Nov 19th, 2007 05:51:11 AM
Get a DUI, doomed to die. In fact any driving related offences do not bode well for your future on that show, just ask Agbaje. Kiefer Sutherland should thank his lucks stars that 24 doesn't have a similar secret character death policy...
Yeah, Lost is totally floundering by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Nov 19th, 2007 06:05:44 AM
Look at all the other shows that just blow it out of the water like....like... well jesus, I guess just The Wire. But you can't really count The Wire, that's like saying who is cooler, Lee Marvin or Steve McQueen, then somebody comes in and says God, because he can become either or both at the same time if he wants, it's like saying "x infinity" It's cheating. So I guess when I said Lost is floundering, I was just being an ICONCLASTIC and CONTRARIAN asshole who wouldn't know quality television if it fell out of the ass landed in his ass and started to wiggle, sort of like Quint. Sorry.
I meant sky there by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Nov 19th, 2007 06:08:16 AM
What I meant was if quality television fell out of the SKY landed in Quints ass and started to wiggle he wouldn't even notice.
Lost by NudeandAroused	Nov 19th, 2007 06:41:08 AM
Like Heroes, Lost is lost. Please, take a look again at the season three finale. It was a gimmick, that's all, a gimmick. It changes nothing. We now know how the show will end. If it is anything different, then the season 3 finale was a con job. If it doesn't change, then we know how the show will end. Lost relies on gimmicks to make itself popular again. Characters and story fell by the wayside.
With Lost, DUI will kill your charecter faster by Yeti	Nov 19th, 2007 06:50:42 AM
than a run-in with the smoke monster. Bye Jin, we hardly knew ye.
Your an idiot NudeandAroused, dont worry, many are by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Nov 19th, 2007 08:01:03 AM
The season 3 finale ending had nothing to do with how the show is ending, dipshit. The only stupid gimmick lost has is it's audience, with it's irritating as hell sense of self entitlement.
..but how about that Season 3 finale? Loved it! by DarthScotland	Nov 19th, 2007 09:03:03 AM
ummmm...no.
"Floundering" is misleading... by veritasses	Nov 19th, 2007 09:27:27 AM
Whether intended or not, to say that Lost is/was floundering gives the impression that it somehow suffered significantly in quality along the way. That's not really true. Arguably, major story arcs moved slowly, character flashbacks were deemed by some to be "boring" television, the plethora of questions were answered only to have more questions raised which gave the impression that questions were never answered etc. But Lost is one of the few shows on the major networks that has consistently been well written, directed and acted each and every episode. Stories are incredibly rich, characters are well developed, relationships are complex, the mysteries, puzzles and plot twists are deeply interesting and entertaining. Some eps were definitely better than others but even the "worst" episodes were good television.
Eko was the only good aspect of S2 by jivatmax	Nov 19th, 2007 09:51:20 AM
the rest of the tail section was horrible.
Go On Daniel by Mr_X	Nov 19th, 2007 09:55:07 AM
Sing the voyager lullaby your mother sang to you as a little child. hahah! go on do it i dare you!

"quite frankly I don't care anyway" by Trazadone	Nov 19th, 2007 11:43:39 AM
Aren't we the smug asshole?
yeah pretty basic by CherryValance	Nov 19th, 2007 11:44:10 AM
I would have asked if the cast just sits around between takes arguing over who is the best looking. Because I think a fight between his cheekbones, Holloway's dimples, and Andrews' eyes could be deadly.
"floundering...since the end of the first season..."? by LoneGun	Nov 19th, 2007 11:46:24 AM
Ah, I don't think so, man. Season 2 of LOST moved very purposefully and in fantastic new directions. It was compelling and full of surprises, every bit as good as the first season.
hes a happy drunk.. by ironic_name	Nov 19th, 2007 12:19:29 PM
But really, ddk is great, one of the pioneers in asian leading men on amerikan tv.
WHAT THE HELL IS LOST ABOUT?! by BringingSexyBack	Nov 19th, 2007 01:07:51 PM
Can someone post the Idiots Guide to Lost please
Guy who got a headache and accidentally saves the world by NudeandAroused	Nov 19th, 2007 03:24:37 PM
Cool name. And yes, the finale was a gimmick
NudeandAroused by Ribbons	Nov 19th, 2007 04:25:21 PM
By "gimmick," you mean that the end of the season finale was written with the intention of shocking the audience? Holy shit, no way! I guess all those other, better shows write twists by accident. Also, when you refer to it as a "con job," you assume that what you saw was the end of the story.
P.S. by Ribbons	Nov 19th, 2007 04:42:07 PM
Your name is pretty cool too. ;-)
Ribbons by NudeandAroused	Nov 19th, 2007 04:42:14 PM
You are agreeing with my point. If what we saw is not the end of the story, it is a gimmick. I agree with you, if shows resort to gimmicks, like Lost, they are just as fake.
THE Albert Lanier? by KazamaSmokers	Nov 19th, 2007 04:55:17 PM
From Blue Oyster Cult??
NudeandAroused by Ribbons	Nov 19th, 2007 05:09:23 PM
What I mean when I say what you're looking it isn't necessarily what you think you're looking at is that it takes place somewhere in the middle of the "Lost" timeline, not that it's the end of the story, but it will either be retroactively changed or re-written. I guess you could call it a gimmick in the sense that it took advantage of the flashback narrative to shock the audience, but I don't see how it's a con job.
If Gin's Wife Was Going Bald... by Read and Shut Up	Nov 19th, 2007 06:07:57 PM
...she would get lonely at home and ask for a Jin and tonic.
Dammit! "Jin" in the Subject Line! by Read and Shut Up	Nov 19th, 2007 06:11:13 PM
...almost crippled a perfectly pathetic joke.
Kim would have made a great Storm Shadow by Stalkeye	Nov 19th, 2007 06:31:36 PM
had a GI Joe movie been made six year ago.
Daniel Dae Kim by Zorak5	Nov 19th, 2007 06:48:54 PM
is one of the best actors on the show, and whenever Jin gets focused on, it's great. You don't often see interviews with him, so this was a nice surprise. I hope he gets more screentime in season 4... whenever that may be.
Should have asked him what it's like NOT being Sulu! by performingmonkey	Nov 19th, 2007 07:19:44 PM
JJ Abrams really screwed him on that one. So what if he's perhaps a little too old to be in the part?? As for Lost 'floundering', er no. Season 3 was the best so far. Ben showing Jack the video of the Sox winning the Series is hands down one of the best TV moments EVER! (that's got nothing to do with the fucking Red Sox, by the way, it's just a fantastic part). And that was just the tip of the iceberg for season 3. It was the most satisfying season of television for a long time. I mean, even Paulo and Nikki being buried alive was fucking satisfying, even if their story was pointless!
Should have asked him... by Osmosis Jones	Nov 19th, 2007 10:35:43 PM
...what it's like to get paid for kissing Yunjin Kim.
Season 2 Finale Was The Best by estacado1	Nov 20th, 2007 10:48:07 AM
I mean, to finally find out that there is actually an outside world looking for them, it was like the greatest moment in tv history, for me at least. I've never been more satisfied with a season finale. Even the third season finale wasn't as good.
