Looks like its going to be some fun! the flashback/flashforward stuff is nuts!

 

Its yet another puzzle we get to try to piece together. Just like in the flashbacks, we dont really know the order in which they go, but have a decent idea just because we've sort of seen the characters progress in the past 3 seasons. Now, we get to go through the same thing again, figuring out how long its been since they left the island in each flash forward.

Obviously tonights was before the S3 finale.

Tonights show was definately interesting though. . .

Oceanic 6, Jacob's cabin, the camp dividing. Too bad we only get another 7 episodes until we go into hiatus again.

 

Good episode. I hear the writers are a little upset that they are doing a "season" with the 8 episodes that were already shot because episode 8 was to be more of a stand alone and does not have much of a cliff hanger.

My favorite show.

I keep wondering who was in the coffin from last years episode. When Jack was asked by the funeral director, "Friend or family?" He replies "neither", and the coffin was not very big. Makes me wonder if it was supposed to be Ben????

 

I don't understand what the show is about. I watched it for the first time last night and was not able to undertand it. It was interesting, but can someone please explain what the show is about?

 

Try watching the first 3 seasons and then see if you understand it a bit more. Just starting to watch now would be like walking into a movie you havent heard about half way through and trying to figure out whats going on.

Really, in a nutshell, the show is about a group of people who survived a plane crash on an island in the south pacific (at least thats where they were flying) and them trying to survive and get rescued. The island is a strange place and a lot of things have happened that defy normal logic and there are lots of mysteries we as viewers still dont know about.

It's about everything and nothing at the same time.



Seriously, rent the first 3 seasons.

Even though it has it's problems it is one of the most intriguing shows to come out in a long time.

 

Sounds like you guys have been watching for three years and still don't know what it's about.

 

Just go rent season one disc one and if the pilot episode does not hook you in, then nothing will. If not the story, then the shot in the first episode of Kate standing on the beach in her skivvies should do it.
