Lost

does seem funny that they wouldn't think of spears.but then they have all them other people to used as boar fodder! funny how only three people tried fishing. i wonder who was tech advisor for the show. i look forward each wed. to see what they do to be foolish each week. :) of course i am playing with one of my knives while watching. :D :D
 
I know a few blokes who hunt pigs with knives. Pig Stickin' - hey it's a hobby. None of them wears checked shirts, has a mullet haircut or is married to his cousin.
 
I think they landed on the Jurassic Park Island.
Anyway, you're all missing the main point of the show so far:
That girl Kate is HOT!

Before, I thought it was that kid's dog, that mutated and became a huge robo-dino-dog, so that it could kill people.

Local newspapers said that the actors said, that it's not a dinosoar.

Think of the monster in The Forbidden Planet

My theory is the mosnter is different for every person on the island. It is some sort of incarnation of their deepest darkest fear. The island will offer up little tastes of that fear hear and there, Like a polar bear on a tropical island. Jacks dead father.

Locke has decided to conquer his fear therefore he has survived. After the hunting party was knocked down instead of running for safety he went after the boar.

The central theme of the show is the idea of facing your fears.In the first episode the flashbacks were used to supply you with back story. After the first episode, All the flashbacks revolve around the facing your worst fear.

Interesting, would you like to lye down and tell me more :D

Your idea baffleseszzzz me!

And about the Locke guy conqureing his fear and going for the boar, he is crazy after all....
 
I watch a bit of TV, but I've never seen a portrayl such as his--meaning the part about his earlier life--working for an unbearable boss, berated at every turn, and his only companionship is Helen, a dial-up phone service that he has to pay $89.95 per session for. Quite touching and tragic at the same time. Unfortunately, I believe there are plenty of real people out there who are relegated to such lives--by their own choice or by fate.

I can see the fear aspect.

Each episode since the first seems to deal with one individual's past to this point, first Kate's, then Locke's, then last night Jack's.

Speaking of which, during the flashback where Jack was at his parents' house and his mother was telling him she had to go after his father, she said something to the effect that he couldn't deny her because of what he'd done to his father.

Anyone catch what he did?

Trippy finding his father's casket sans his father. Did the body get thrown clear, or did the airlines not ship it?
 
When I was in the service stationed at Schofield Barracks HI, I new an NCO Sgt. Toa that hunted wild pigs from a stand over bait with nothing but a 12" Bowie. He was pretty successful too. That Samoan new how to cook a pig in the ground like no one else! He killed one once while we were out in the Kahuku Rain Forest on the North Shore doing an EXEVAL and fed the entire HHC. MMMMMMM pig :D

I don't think they addressed it - kind of like Kate's transgression, I guess we'll find out in time.

Remember also, Locke was a parapalegic before the crash. Upon waking after the crash, he discovered he was able to walk.

Interesting ideas about the fear issue, and the Forbidden Planet beast. That seems to be on target, so far.

Very well written, with great characters - a definite change for ABC.
 
I am a LOST addict. And now a Locke Fan. When I saw the Box o' Knives I was a little dissapointed though....he really didnt need ALL those knives. I mean, come on. It was revealed that he was going on a walkabout in Aussie land and as such, maybe a nice Randall or Chris Reeve Shadow and a couple others, but not twenty or thirty knives. That was over kill.

We were wondering about the knives on sticks to make SPEARS thing too. That seems like the logical progression of cavemen. I was also wondering why you would send out the guy with the KID. I mean, there are others that should have gone on the hunt instead of him. Oy Vey. That group sure needs a leader and fast!

I haven't watched it at all, and only remember it's around when I see this post.

I would wonder if the airlines confiscated the body as a potential biological weapon? :eek: :D :D
 
I have been enjoying the show. Since Hawaii just got cancelled and I don't expect North Shore to last much longer (if it hasn't gotten cancelled already), Lost seems to be our best shot at sustaining a series since Magnum P.I. Then again, Lost's advantage appears to be that it is only filmed in Hawaii and not set here. I like the way it's written and the way they are unfolding the story by centering on different characters in each episode.

Ilovetoolsteel's theory about fears occurred to me, and still appears to be fitting in, but haven't decided if that's it yet. I don't think Locke has conquered his fear. It appears that his fear is not being able to do things because he gets pissed everytime someone tells him he can't do something. So conquering his fear is more like going back to being a cripple again--at least that's what I think.

As for Jack's dad--I've been wondering if the island has some sort of resurrection/healing powers. If Locke can walk again after landing on the island, maybe the father was brought back from the dead. Then again, the rest of the dead people haven't come back yet.

Anyone else wonder what the hell was with the kid who almost drowned trying to save the lady? Didn't he say he was a lifeguard in the first episode when he was doing CPR wrong on the lady? Maybe he wasn't good at CPR, but he had to at least have been able to swim, right?

As for the knife vs. spear thing--the spear actually never even occurred to me because as Mike Taylor mentioned, pig hunting with a knife isn't unheard of here. I sure as hell wouldn't want to do it, though. And what's up with the agent--shouldn't they have looked for some spare magazines or extra ammo or something? I find it difficult to believe he only had what he loaded his gun with.

All nitpicking and psychoanalysis aside, I like the show. I think it's different than the other stuff that's out there. Looks like next week they all go psycho and try to kill each other.
 
Damn you're good, Next week you got to give me the "play by play" and explain anything I never understand.
 
I would try to fashion a spear using the knife to cut the spearpoint to shape. You don't need to tie the knife to the end of the spear / lance. That way you have both a spear and a knife.


BINGO!

Sorry,I've never seen the show.tom.
 
Hunting boars with knives(and dogs ofcourse) is very very very common here in New Zealand. It's quite possibly more common here than anywhere else in the world.
 
I was thinking that maybe Jack's Dad was never even ON the plane.

There was that flashback scene at the airport with Jack trying to get the body on board and the lady telling him no.....well, I was figuring that the reason that he got so enraged when he saw an empty coffin is because thats ALL there was on the plane. No Dad. Never was. Dad was still in Aussieland. He was going home to Mom with no Dad, just the coffin and he took it out his frustration on the wood.

I am hoping something like that rather then the other theory which is Dad fell OUT of the coffin and is just hanging in a tree somewhere.... :barf:
 
Good point. Do coffins get sealed after they put the body in it? And shouldn't it have to be sealed in order to be on the plane?
