LOST on RTE TWO

Elmo · 10-06-2005 12:06pm #1

And no for once I amn't going on about a show thats lost in the RTE schedule.

I am sure there is another forum, I was avoiding the US forum wanted to see the series for myself.

Excellent series if you have missed the first four episodes they are repeated on RTE Two this Saturday.

You won't be dissappointed.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 10-06-2005 12:10pm

cool, I'd heard about the omnibus but thought it was last week.

gona have to tell some people to watch it

*Angel* · 10-06-2005 12:11pm

Yeah it's good stuff, I missed the first one so it'll be good to get to see it, thanks.

steveland? · 10-06-2005 2:07pm

I've been trying my best to keep the forum US spoiler free on the Irish threads so if you want to pop along to the Lost forum there's loads of threads with IRL: at the beginning of the topic titles....

Safe for non-US viewers if you stay away from the US: threads

Vokes · 10-06-2005 2:41pm

Except some of the US viewers show up in those IRL threads and seriously overhype the following weeks episode, which is a bit offputting tbh.

Great show though.

Just wondering if anyone knew exactly where that island is on the series or would that spoil it for me. I need to know these things though. It will wreck my head otherwise.

jm2k · 10-06-2005 2:51pm

how many of the episodes have they shown so far on RTE?

When I saw the title of this thread I was sure it was going to be full of people saying how much this series sucks.
I watched the first three episodes and that was enough. Total ****e so it is. The characters are the most loathsome,charisma-less individuals ever assembled on a television screen and the storylines are laughable.

tvnutz · 10-06-2005 6:54pm

Obviously you dont know good tv...and its getting over 300,000 viewers a week.

Elmo · 11-06-2005 5:23pm

It's called blitz Advertising. RTE have copped on and actuall tell people about their shows on RTE TWO.

But you are right lukin doesn't know good TV.

This is a grate show.

The last episode was excellent. Nice to see Terry O'Quinn back in a series.

tvnutz · 11-06-2005 8:34pm

Yep elmo...great tv

and you are right,RTE are actually promoting a show for once,and is this the first time they have actually ever done an omnibus for a show? I dont even remember them doing it before!

Elmo · 11-06-2005 11:47pm

They did repeat the first season of 24 each saturday. But the Beeb did it with 24 orginally, omnibus that is.

Its currently repeated on BBC Two on Saturday 3 episodes each week.

If you haven't see the first season its a good chance to see 24 when it was good. Go out and get the DVD otherwise.

tvnutz · 12-06-2005 12:11pm

No I have seen 24 since the start,have season 1 on VHS (remember VHS? lol) and season 2 on dvd,I dont think the others seasons are worth getting unless the price comes down.

doctor evil · 12-06-2005 3:31pm

I watched the 4 episodes back to back on Saturday, its a good program. Its amusing though how no one is properly dirty and there is no real minger survivors. Why did the plane crash?

Fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion. I still think it's crap though.

tvnutz · 13-06-2005 1:36pm

Well why? You havnt really given any reasons why you think it is crap. Your comment on the characters is irrelevant because you no nothing about the characters. It is a character driven show and each ep you get flashbacks telling you about characters,so you cant really comment on characters until you get their full stories.

As for the story lines being "laughable",thats worse than that one in the independent mag,or was it the times,Im not sure,but she said the story was "unrealistic". Hello!!?? It's sci-fi for feck sake!

Ri_Nollaig · 13-06-2005 10:17pm

do you know if it will be on any other channel? missed the first 4 episodes:(

It'll be on E4 / C4 in September.. approximately!

ninebeanrows · 13-06-2005 10:24pm

I've watched all 25 episodes..

I watched all 25 over around 5 days.

Need i say more??

The show is sheer class

Cant wait to start downloading again in September

Harry2001 · 14-06-2005 8:00am

Last nights episode was brutal but I suppose there will be a few more poor ones in a 25 episode series

Only like a couple of the characters so far, Hurley and Locke – most of the others are pretty annoying

I’ll stick with it for a couple of more episodes or maybe just download the last couple as see what happens

YeatsCounty · 14-06-2005 8:18am

I thought that last nights episode was very good, I enjoyed it a lot more than "Walkabout", to be honest.

Locke is my favourite character in it by a country mile at the moment.

Last nights was great...like I said its a character driven show. Stop looking for 24 style action all the time,you get some good stuff in eps 10 and 11 that will please the impatient lot,but downloading the last few...you will have no idea what is going on,A LOT happens between now and the end of the season.

Elmo · 14-06-2005 12:51pm

I don't know I enjoyed Walkabout more.

I had orginal reservations about the show, after last nights episode I think I am edgeing back to those reservations.

I will stick with it.

Stop looking for 24 style action

It's not one long day
it's just very far away.

tvnutz · 14-06-2005 1:04pm

What reservations...and why? I dont see how last nights ep could do anything to do that. its only begun...the first ten eps are all about the characters...then you start to get more about the island. stick with it. its better than 24 by a long shot.

Blasphemy!

'Walkabout' is probably my favourite of the season!

I agree...some people just dont like slow moving,well written stuff

many people have compared it to 24...

Maybe when I watch Walkabout again, I might change my mind.

But for now, I'm sticking to my guns.

Jack Bauer would have operated on the Marshall with shrapnel from the plane, before interrogating him as only he can.
"Where's the prisoner.......WHERE'S THE PRISONER?!?"

But this isn't 24, and I'm enjoying Lost. And I like 24 as well, just to let you know.

tvnutz · 14-06-2005 4:16pm

ye i like 24....but its not well done anymore,i only like it because its fun...but this season has been a joke,and when you see the whole season of Lost...you can see a major difference.

Elmo · 23-06-2005 1:25pm

Last Monday's episode was good.

Unlike most american TV Drama, it allowed the Korean characters speak in Korean during there flash backs rather then have them speak english.

I think this is going to be one of those series where I will like one week and not the next.

Also long as it doesn't end as dissappointingly as Despareate Housewives I will be happy.

Agree completely. Lock & sayid (sp?) are my favourite characters.

tabatha · 12-07-2005 5:37pm

i missed lost last night, can anyone tell me if and when it is repeated, thanks

Good news..

It's repeated on RTE2 this Friday at 7pm.

Sarsfield · 12-07-2005 5:44pm

How many episodes have RTE shown so far?

Basq · 12-07-2005 5:47pm

9 episodes so far (counting the Pilot as 2 episodes)!

Sarsfield · 12-07-2005 5:55pm

So the famous episodes 10 & 11 (as highly promoted on this and other threads!) hit our screens from next Monday. This will be a deciding point for me as, while I'm still watching the series, I'm also wondering why I'm watching. It's a case of hoping it will get better, rather than enjoying it.

tabatha · 12-07-2005 8:43pm

thanks for that basquille, wont miss this one!

If you dont like it by now,its obviously not your type of show,so stop moaning about it.
