loz · 06-02-2006 04:10PM

Hi,

Being a double episode tonight is 2x01 and 2x02 not both on ?

donhughberto · 06-02-2006 04:18PM

Same question as LOZ, why is it in 2 episode format and only advertised as Man of Science, Man of Faith, kinda messes up with my Prision break on five damn, i see it is repeated for an hour next Saturday in early evening

I think one is a "recap" episode only.

Yep, exactly right.. one is 'Destination: Lost' - a recap of season 1.

Thank bejasus for the recap too.
My missis has decided to watch it this season so now I'll only have to answer 3,264 questions about what the heck is going on.

Rob30888 · 06-02-2006 09:50PM

I've been dwl from the net, but it'll be great to see it on the TV at last

qz · 06-02-2006 11:02PM

Stupid place to put the first ad, practically in the middle of a sentence! And I had forgotten how good that opening scene is. One of the best Lost episodes.

Basq · 06-02-2006 11:13PM

Yep.. definantly one of the best openers to an episode.. fantastic!

Also this episode is definantly one of my favourites of Series 2.

And before any of the RTE viewers ask, the song is "Make Your Own Kind Of Music" by Mama Cass.

Goodshape · 06-02-2006 11:25PM

This is only the second episode of LOST I have ever seen

V. Good so far (as was the other epp. I saw). Something to watch on mondays again, nice one.

Re-cap of season one was very handy. Good idea that and well executed. Thought it was going to be a talking heads "ain't our show fantastic" piece.

Necronomicon · 06-02-2006 11:40PM

Argh, more unanswered questions!

johnnyrotten · 06-02-2006 11:58PM

biko · 07-02-2006 12:05AM

Skyuser · 07-02-2006 12:14AM

Was really really good, worth waiting for.

I missed the first few episodes when it first aired last season, so instead of dipping in and out I just waited for it to come out on dvd....of course then I could just turn on the next episode straight away! This waiting a week malarky will be tough!

PullMyFinger! · 07-02-2006 06:57AM

Im on Lost 212 as are most around here but what did y'all think of 201 on RTE if you saw it for the first time?

I still think the opening 5 minutes are some of the best Ive seen on TV.

Ever.

Just fecking brilliant

Earthhorse · 07-02-2006 10:33AM

I'd been promised great things for the opening of the 2nd series by a number of people and I'm happy to say that, for once, they were right.

I've been waiting for Lost to gain any bit of pace at all and tonight's episode did move things along quite a bit (for Lost).

It was obvious it was going to be the Scottish guy at the end, you could hear it in his voice.

It's also interesting that the "miracle" Jack performed on his wife to be is the same miracle that the Island performs on Locke ie regaining control over the lower body.

I'll stick with Lost for a while longer but if it goes back to "service as usual" in the next few episodes I think I'll ditch it.

joejoem · 07-02-2006 10:37AM

What a cliffhanger!

I don't think it was his wife.. was it?

Someone elses wife I thought.

And wtf is with the scottish guy? Very strange that.

Really must get hold of a complete season one set.

JackieChan · 07-02-2006 11:40AM

I started off as a dedicated follower of Lost, up to about eps 11 on series 1. I just found it too slow to follow. I caught a few more epsiodes but I saw the recap and eps201 last night and I'm hooked again. It was excellent.

Phew - thought it was just me mouthing 'his wife' at my screen here and going WTF?

top episode...first few minutes had me wondering 'what the frig am i watching' and then the mirrors and all kicked off...

I thought that too. I got the first 10 eps of season 2 from ebay and my first thought was "WTF has that wanker sent me?! This isn't Lost!"

In the first series we know that Jack's wife is someone whose life he saved. I'm assuming that was through surgery but can't be sure. At his wedding speech Jack makes the point that the reverse is actually true - that she saved him. We can see from last night's episode that the patient was bringing out a different, more human, side in Jack.

Notice how the fiance wasn't around anymore at the end of the episode? She wasn't anyone's wife when she entered ER but I think it's pretty likely that she'll end up marrying Jack.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Yea, the fiancee did seem a bit shakey on the idea of marrying her if she were to need assistence (in the brief sceen he was in). Again, I really MUST get season one.

....might just go into town and see if I can find a copy actually. Damn it anyway.. I had made an effort not to get involved with this show

doh.ie · 07-02-2006 01:25PM

Anyone else find it strange that Lost wasn't sponsored last night? The promos running for the past several weeks had the 'Lucozade' logo on the top-right hand corner, yet last night's episodes had no stings at the ad breaks, or any Lucozade material to launch it.

So either there was a transmission fault on the broadcast of the Lucozade material, or it wasn't ready in time (doubtful), or, more likely, Lucozade pulled out of the sponsorship. Still means one of RTE's biggest shows wasn't sponsored for its launch night (surely a higher audience than usual), which will be a bit tough to explain...!

grumpytrousers · 07-02-2006 01:28PM

no sky digital subtitles either...

From what I saw, they arrived about 5 minutes in to 2x01, but whether they stayed or not, I'm not sure. Not a great service for the deaf, that. RTE Subtitles are very weak anyway (misspellings, poor edits, a £ instead of # for some reason, mishearings (!), poor line breaks...)

trishw78 · 07-02-2006 02:23PM

wow and double wowsers. last nights ep was amazing.

We learned so much new stuff... what was in the hatch who was there etc. So what kinda laboratory is it???? it looks like it was built to study something could this be lostzilla. How did "Brother" get on the island, did anyone see what he was injecting into his arm... Why did he say he was nearly a doctor...

So many more questions to be answered. Somehow I don't think there all going to be answered this season.

loved the ending

YOU.....
