haah! thats sweet deal.. well who have you wrotten to from LOTR?? have you wrote to any of the LOSTies? well if you only send them to the U.K maybe because its cheaper. but in the U.S sending a letter to N.Z. is 80 cents per. letter. so its not that expensive.

I was looking at michaelemerson.net they have a gallery there. THe same picture in your avvie is in that gallery

MontanaBohemian, Yep, Saywer as a crazy jerk...good (nods)..then again if you ask me Sawyer is like allways good. I'm crazy...for Sawyer.
Oh, Claire is Austrailian?! Oh, I am so sorry. I though that she was Brittish...I've only hear her talk like once and I just guessed that she was Brittish. What pon Earth is wrong with me? Once again I'm sorry especialy if I offended anyone. Thanks for letting me know though, so that I won't make that mistake again.

Arsaniel, Well, I do understand about what you are saying about it being about people. I also would have to say that this episode was greatly needed at this point. However I just didn't like it as good as the other episodes so far this season. (shrugs) It was good but wasn't great for me.

LotRfreak, Exactly! It was boring. As I said it was needed I suppose but it was as you said it was boring.
Oh, I just have to add though that, I love your new avater and banner.


JF, Well, I don't really know what to make of the islander's reactions to the current situation. I can understand particaly what Hurly is doing, for the time being that is. Saywer and Jin and Charlie need some major cheering up. Saywer has pretty well lost hope. Why I think that is because he said something about if Hurly wanted hope that he landed on the wrong island. Then poor Charlie is moping around and worring himself near sick as far as I can tell. So something had to be done there. That being said though I can also understand Kate's reaction at least about wanting to save Jack. I would have wanted to save him too just because he is a person (in their world). As for the rest of the islanders reations to the situation to me it seemed... odd. Maybe they shouldn't all be jumping up to go and find him (for example Claire because she has Aaron) but some should, and some should be upset over it, and some should want to send somebody to help/find Jack (like maybe Claire) even if they couldn't/wouldn't go themselves. So yeah I would agree that sometimes their reactions are a bit off. Then as for seeming to just go about life at other times...I guess that I can go along with that. If I was on an island like that I just really am not sure how I would react. At first I suppose I would make sure that everybody who was with me was okay, then I would make sure that all the rest of the people were okay, try to get rescued for a long long time, finaly accept that it might take awhile, and live as best I could there. However I don't think that I would give up attempts to be rescued all together. I think that I would have been more like Saywer/Micheal/Jin and would have been working on a raft or something to get off of the island with. Not just act like I was on vacation, like some of them seem to do at times. Sure I would relax sometimes but not nearly as much as a good part of them do. As for personality. Mine would shift depending on what that paticular time called for. Most of the time I would be calm. Luckly I am calm under pressure or in the few emergancies that I have been in. Not like being on an island but you get my point. Though once in awhile I am sure that eventually I would lose my cool. Freak out yeah I would do that.
Well, how would you react if you had been on that plane and landed on the Lost island? How would everybody here react?

Gilraen Ringeril, Yes I was the person who asked. I think that that's really cool that you dvr Lost and get to watch it on Thrusday...if nothing else at least that way you can re-watch any parts of Lsot that you mgiht have missed or anything...that's allways a good thing...I know that from experience. lol Honestly though I have a hard time with the dvr system. It's too complicated. Computers and or electronics of nearly any kind and I just don't mix. So I must appluad you on being able to work the thing. (claps) Sorry if I got off topic there.
Ooh, I loved it when Jin and Saywer were talking about the only three things women need to hear...it's funny becuase it's so so realistic. Plus it's totally something that Sawyer would say.
When they had Hurly talking to Libby's grave I got a bit teary eyed too. I couldn't help it. Personaly though I liked that scene because it showed that Hurly really did still miss Libby and gave a bit of a look into his soul again. I liked that. As for the near to last scene with Sawyer...I got sad and angry at the same time. I was sad because Saywer was so up set. I mean he's so tore up over the whole Kate thing. As I've said before there is no doubt what so ever in my mind that he doesn't love Kate. He just loves her. Anyway I was angry because of the wayt Kate is hurting him. She needs to get it together. She needs to figure out what she is feeling, what she is thinking, awhat's going on around her, and decide what she's going to do about all that. Sawyer is (in tv realm of course) a person not a toy. She can't just continue to jerk him and his heart around. She needs to get with the program. It's hurting him and it will end up hurting her (if it's not allready). Oh, why can't Kate fly right? (pouts) I want to see Skate...together..not tearing each other's hearts into smaller than beleivable peices.
Oh and ps I totally love your new bottom banner. Saywer looks beutiful and that's a winning picture of him and his wonderful smile.

Fwee! Who did I right to...[I'm going to use the characters names to represent the actors as I'm feeling lazy and it will be quicker]

Gandalf
Gimli
Legolas
Eowyn
Merry
Pippin
Faramir
Boromir
Gollum
Saruman
Bilbo
Theoden

I received replies from Gandalf, Eowyn and Pippin. Ok, I have time now, Miranda, Ian and Billy. Dom doesn't sign things apparently, but I don't know if that is true.

The reason I never sent letters outside of the UK, was because I wanted to see how well I did with the British addresses first.

Ah, I only stumbled upon that gallery the other day!


@ DD - I think the thing that is bugging me is this:

Kate, Jack and Sawyer were taken by the Others. Hurley reported this, Locke said he would get them back.....yeah, Locke when?...Easter?.....6 episodes later Kate and Sawyer get back themselves. What do they know? A lot more then our Losties. So....if what everyone has been telling me is correct...where was the big pow-pow? The sharing of the info? Telling them how they escaped? Who the Others are. Who Henry Gale is? What happened to them.....these are the kind of things that annoy me with LOST...and sensible person would say "look, sit down, we'll shut up, tell us everything that happened to you".....

Personally, there have been times, when our Losties failed to act, I would have been prepared to go to the border line..say "hey Others! Come and take me, you probably talk about things with each other!"....

And that was before I knew what a hottie Ben is.

Hmm...well I have never heard that before. I have a £120 poster that has been certified to be signed by the cast, and Ian and Billy's signatures match those on my autographs. Ian also dedicated the picture to me and my brother so.... *shrug*....I would be very disappointed if what you say is true.

Another werid thing - when the hatch blew up at the end of series 2 and the sky turned purple, in series 3 (I think) Charlie then appeared out of the jungle after surviving the blast, went to speak to Claire, who didn't ask why he was blackened, where he had been, why the entire island shook, strage sounds were heard or the sky turned purple. She didn't even seem to query the fact she had nearly been hit on the head with the hatch door. Just these kind of things make me go.....yah...right...

LOTRfreak13, You're welcome.

JF, Yeah, what was with that? They really should have had a meeting to discuss what all had happened to Kate and Sawyer. You would think that they would be interrested or worried or something. Not just oh wow Kate and Saywer are back that's good. Like you said earlier. Nobody but Hurley even asked about Jack. I get that Jack is bossy and at times can even come off with that I'm better than you attitude (at least he can come off wiht that attitude in my opinion sometimes) but he was like their leader. He at least tried his best to take care of them. Shouldn't they care if he lives or dies? Perhaps they have all had a bit too much of Sawyer's alcohol.
Locke told Hurley that he would go and rescue Kate, Saywer, and Jack? Well, the summmaries that I read seemed to leave that bit of information out. If I was Kate or Saywer or for that matter even Hurley or anyone else that he had told that he was going to go and rescue them, I would be telling him right quick that I was upset with him. I agree at the rate that Locke was going about it it would have been Easter...at the earliest. lol Can Locke do anything right? I mean I know that he helped Charlie a bit with his addiction but other than that Locke has been more hurtful than helpful as far as I can tell. He said that he would go and rescue Jack, Kate, and Saywer and he did no such thing. In fact he didn't even make preperations or any attempts that we have seen to even try to rescue or find Kate, Sawyer, or Jack. At least not up until he found Kate out in the jungle on her way to go and get Jack, like Locke was supposed to. Locke also was with Boone when he was injured and he lied about what happened to Boone. Who knows with that information perhaps Jack could have saved Boone. What Locke is is a liar. He lied about what happened to boone and he lied about going to rescue Jack, Sawyer, and Kate. He lies through his teeth whenever he thinks that it will get him out of trouble.
(small spoiler in the next sentence) Oh, and if that's not enough on next weeks episode it showed Locke pressing something on the computer and one of the other Losties like nearly freaking out and asking him what he had done. Locke had better not have messed that thing up. Locke is so incompatent. Okay my rant about Locke is over for now. Sorry I just had to get that out though.

Um on the commercial for next week (spoiler coming) they showed some dude with a patch over his eye, he was telling some of the others to like go ahead and kill him and what not, and they acted as though we are supposed to know who he is. Now that's one thing that you get confussed on when you read up instead of watching it all...you don't allways have pictuers on summaries to show you who so so are (what they look like). So who is this dude?

Exactly! Honestly, the first thing they should have join was to sit Kate and Sawyer down and say - look tell us what happened - Locke and Sayid in particular should have insisted. And even forgetting the inplausibility of what actually happened when they returned, Jack is not only their leader, but he is also a doctor. I mean, wouldn't you be concerned if the only doctor on the island was kidnapped?

Yes, Locke said he would get them back. Then we had his flashback when he was growing pot, and then he went into the smoke tent, had the dream and then decided that Eko needed saving first....which was pointless seen as how he would die anyway. Locke was such an awesome character in the first 2 series' (although not so much in the latter part of the second). If I had to put my life in anyone's hands it would have been him. A hunter, tracker, calm and collected he knew what should be done and he did it.....then came the hatch....and he made mistakes....really bad mistakes....and now...I'd put my faith in Ben...at least if one of his group had been captured and then escaped he wouldn't just say -hi, nice to have you back.

Hmm...I can't say I've noticed Locke to be a liar. He made a mistake with Boone, I just don't think he wanted to tell anyone about the plane, because at the time he believed he knew what the island wanted.

Yes, we've seen the man with an eye patch before. In one episode of series 3 (I think it was Eko's episode), Locke, Sayid and the two new dudes (man and a woman) go to another hatch, where the plane that held Eko's brother crashed. They're watching the monitors and trying to get them working to see if they can communicate with the Others. One screen works and we see a man with an eye-patch looking directly at the screen, then he puts something over the camera at his end, and he disappears. That was quite a chilling moment.

SPOILER ALERRRTTT!

Anyways I read a while ago that one of the losties was going to do something that would have world wide consequences. We've guessed that it might be the Tsumnami that happened in Dec. of 2004. It would be around the right time....I guess we'll probably see in the next episode. It looks like it'll be Locke that screws things up but I still love him anyway. He's infinetly more interesting than Jack and his tattoos . I will never get over that episode lol.

Ooh...that's kinda weird.....it sounds really interesting so they're kinda mixing fictional story with a real life incident? Hmm....it could be something that happens that they make up though, which has world wide consequences. That's really interesting (judging by recent episodes it may also be dumb) but that is certainly a new twist that I would be glad to see.

Ditto. Locke is leader Jack is.....heeder? Weeder?

_________________




^ By me and my SS *squiggle hugs*

JF, Well, I would certainly be worried if the doc went missing. I mean they are on an island with strange foods and strange things and for that matter strange people. Any number of things could happen that then they would be in need of the doc for and I think that that has been proven time and time again. Boone was injured by the plane, Sawyer needed glasses (though at first feared that it might be a tumor) got a bullet in his shoulder which latter on gave him major problems and just lately got a dart in his foot, Claire nearly drowned, and Michael was poinsed accidently by Sun who got the idea from Kate. Not to mention that those are just the medical to posabley medical inccidents that I can name...off of the top of my head. More than likely there have been even more. So they really do need a doctor around.
Well, Locke did say something about not knowing where to look. Then Sayid said that he had gotten some kind of idea how to find him judging by the way the light hit some stick when Locke burried Eko. However that would have been quite awhile back as well. So he still didn't appaer to be in no great hurry...at all. (shrugs)
Oh, okay. Now that makes a bit more sense. Thanks for filling me in. I was all confussed there. Well I have one thing to say I have only known of one guy with an eye patch (he was on tv though) and he is one of the best fighters I've ever seen. So who ever decides that crossing this dude's path is a good idea just might want to think twice. Looks can be deiciving at times. He really migth prove to be a danger (for the Others or the Losties) or I could just be grasping at straws.


Banana Republic, Thanks for the spoilers. (talk of spoiloers from here on) The Tsumnami? Hmm, well I think that I might could like that if they handled it properly. I mean so long as they treated it with repsect so as not to disgrace/disrespect/or simply upset those who lost family memebers or friends durring that time or the memory of those who died at that time. it would be something very hard to do but if done right could possabley (if publicized enough) could really bring in the viewers. I'm open to the idea.
Oh great...Locke is at it again. I'm half way hoping that it will turn out to be somebody else's mess up but I don't expect it to be. (sigh)
Well I think that I like Jack better. Jack can get on my nerves and I Don't want him with Kate but at times he can be interresting. I like him with Juliet and he can be a "good guy" when he gets off of his high horse and when he isn't annoying Saywer out of his ever loving mind. If I had to put my life into one of the islander's hands it would either be his or Saywer's. They both are strong, smart, and I beleive that deep down that they each have a good heart.

Okay JF mentioned that she would put her life into Locke's hands if need be and I said that I would put my life in either Saywer or Jack's hands. So which character would everybody else here put their life in their hands?
ps. I hope that you don't mind me asking that to everybody, JF.

Yeah, I mean whether people liked Jack or not....he was the doctor.... ...I'd be pretty worried if not for his sake, but for my own in case I needed him.

I saw screencaps from the preview of next week's LOST and it looks....interesting.....I can't really figure out from the pictures what is going on, so I look forward to someone telling me. I have no idea, which side of the fence he is on (if any). He could be the last surviving member of the Dhama Initiative. Who knows?

Hmm...I don't think I like the fact they could be using the tsumnami as part of the storyline. Now matter how they use it, I think it will still be disrespectful to even suggest that characters in a TV show caused it....I mean, they wouldn't use 9/11 would they?

Yep. Jack is annoying. He sometimes just seems to stand round with his hands on his hips and trying not to cry. When he is trying not to cry it's quite funny. Also, he never seems to be able to make his mind up. He spent ages arguong with Locke about no pushing the button....and then turned round and said it needed pushing.

That's Ok DD. I have no idea who I would put my life in whose hands anymore. Locke is not reliable. As much as I love Swayer I would never have chosen him, as he was way too selfish and out to thebest he could for himself. He's getting better though.

I liked Jack just fine until this season when he turned into an emo baby. He just cries and screams all the time and thorws people into walls. It's terribly annoying. I know he's in the "hands" of the others but dude suck it up and be a man! You didn't see Sawyer or Kate crying all the time and screaming at people like a baby.

JF, I would be worried for my sake, for the rest of Losties sakes (epscialy for Sawyer's...that man seems to get hurt Alot...), and maybe for Jack's sake too...if I could get over how happy I was that he was no longer driving me insane.
Certainly not me. I'll have to watch it before I get it and even then it might take me awhile if at all to get it.
Well some shows use car wrecks and stuff that wasn't caused by things that are known all the time and I don't find it disrespectful even though I lost one of my freinds in a terrible car crash. Thefore I think that it would be possable to do something like that without being disrepsectful...though Very tricky. So I'm just open to the idea, not for or against it at this point just open. To me it depends on how they hadle it I'll withold further judgement on that for now. However I definately can understand what you are saying. (nods)
(laughs) Oh, yes Jack can totally be annoying and un able to make up his mind. When he did that thing with pushing "the button" I got so confused at what he was doing and why and upset. Let's just say that I would have hated to have been Locke in that episode...having to deal with Jack not being able to make up his mind.
Thanks for letting me ask that.
Well, Jack does have some nice guns...nice arms I mean...though he probabley has real guns as well. lol Plus he is a bit of a do gooder and that can be a Very good thing. However Sawyer is still my pick and because he ignored Kate on top of that Kate just really needs to stick with Saywer. Kate and Saywer and Jack and Juliet.

Banana Republic, I agree about the screaming and crying constantly! Once in awhile is fine with me but all of the time? That is just a bit out of hand. What he really needs to be doing is figuring out how to escape. After all the Losties need him back and he probabley doesn't think that the Others are nice right now...maybe he just wants to be closer to Juliet. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

Lol, we all seem to pretty much agree on the weirdness of Jack of late. That whole button pushing scene cracked me up:

Locke: We need to push the button Jack
Jack: No, we don't
Locke: Yes, we do Jack
Jack: (getting angry) NO, Locke it's a button
Locke: I know that Jack....we need to push the button
Jack: (going to throttle Locke) NO, Locke
Locke: (looking scared) Err...I think we do
Jack: (looking murderous) NO LOCKE!
Locke: Erm..the button?
Jack: (yelling so hard the hatch shakes) NO LOCKE WE DON'T NEED TO PUSH THE BUTTON
Locke: (scared) Ok, Jack

*beep* *beep* *1 minute countdown*

Jack: Locke?
Locke: Yes, Jack?
Jack: We need to push the button

[Ok, I know that's not quite how it happened but it's still funny]


Lol, yes I'l give him that. He does have nice arms. Hmm....I'm still not sure about the Jack/Juliet thing....not saying they don't suit....but I really don't like her....

Y'all really need to watch this <a href="http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/michael-emerson/257844">interview</a> with M.E about LOST. He gives some insights into what we can expect. (Click the TV Watercooler link in the box on the far right)

*****VIDEO CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS SUCH AS...he says a character that we have known and loved for a long time will die.....*****

JF, Weirdo Jack...
(falls out of chair laughing) Well, that's not exactly how that sceen went down I agree. However it was close enough. Jack just was like insane...don't push the button he said over and over and over and then he's like all why haven't you pushed the button, push the button.
Thank you Very much for that link. I would like to watch it. However my computer speakers don't work. So it's a no go for me, sorry. If I ever come across a written out version of that on one of the Lost sites or something I'll read it though.
Um, okay I'm sorting going crazy for spoilers...do you think that you could um put a spoiler warning in your post (for those who aren't into spoilers) and maybe post me the most interesting possable spoilers. I'll understand if there's to many to type down or or anything but if you could do that for me I would totally be 100% grateful.
