The Syndicate

I want to watch Westworld, but I don't have HBO or whatever pay channel it is on. :pouts:

For me, Juliet and Shannon Guy-wise, I'd have to go Desmond or Jin.

Daniel Faraday.

What can I say, I have a thing for scrawny nerds...

Watching Tabula Rasa now. Some thoughts:

Jack and his incessant need to play savior annoys me every time. Sorry for you Jack fans. But I loved how insightful Sawyer was in the fuselage. Is it a good idea to use up medicine on a dead man. It would be a tough decision to make in that situation.

Surely John Locke could understand why it might seem creepy when an old guy tells a little boy a "secret" that he shouldn't tell his dad. I never cared much for Michael, but I can't blame him for hating Locke, lol. I would have thought the guy was a weird old pedo if I heard that from my kid too.

Awkward Sun/Michael moment. I don't know about you all but my first reaction when being interrupted in a state of undress is not to just stand there explosed. I'd be leaping to cover up real fast. Trust me, I've had my moment. In a dressing room at a outdoor and sporting goods store buying a new swimsuit. Really damn awkward, lol. I felt like this storyline was a bit forced, I was glad when they got away from it.

I always was rooting for Kate and Sawyer. Jack was the guy Kate wanted to be right for, Sawyer was the guy she really was right for. Until Juliet came along, then I was like just say no to Kate!!! I don't like Kate. But I love Sawyer. I love all manner of sarcasm and snark.

Why didn't Ray just pull over. Why drive next to the marshall? That was just dramatic writing right there. LOL, it was great when his arm came off though! I did feel for Kate during the crash though, what's worse than being in a horrific plane crash? Being handcuffed to the chair in front of you through it all, of course! Talk about being helpless and terrified!

The sunrise and sunset scenes are so gorgeous. Makes me want to be in Hawaii.

This game of I want to know what Kate did, I don't care what Kate did. And I want to tell Jack what I did, it's none of Jack's damn business what I did, gets old too.

I must apologize now to the Kate and Jack fans, you will hear a lot of complaining about them from me.

I love that musical ending. The way Jin looks at Sun makes up for his douche-bagery in the last episode. :insertluffsmiliehere:

So yeah Kate and Jack are clearly my least favorite. Never cared for Ana Lucia either.

I agree with the assessment of Sun and Jin. I have always much preferred Jin out of the two of them. Sun was pretty dark. Jin's major malfunction was his pride that kept him communicating honestly with his wife. There was a lot of yelling at the TV during Jin back story episodes.

LOL, your last line there is SO TRUE! INH, your witty insightfulness was sorely lacking at this site while you were absent. I am very glad to have you back here again. I missed you.

Also, I loved the little bit where Rose recognizes the sound of the smoke monster. I had forgot about that little bit. Funny the things that hit you again when you rewatch.

Sure is. We watched the two pilot episodes last week and were kind of discussing them this week, we'll watch the third episode by Sunday and start tossing our thoughts around on it then too. Join us!

I completely agree. I never thought of Jin as evil though.

I love Jin. It's unfortunate this is how he starts, but he will develop. So you're right, I need to just hang in there. It's hard to see the characters you love in the worst light. Kind of like Sayid as a follow of the smoke monster, that was rough. I hated it. Evil Sayid made my heart sad, thank goodness for his redemption.

So episode 3 this Sunday?

I actually did not know that, and it makes that entrance ten times more epic.

I love the initial scenes after the crash. Just seeing all the main characters and background characters and realizing that at this point viewers did not really know who would be important and who wouldn't. And knowing how later they will revisit it. It's pretty cool.

Also, I always hate going back to when Jin was a douche.

I'm not a Kate fan, so that count to five thing never really made a huge impression on me. I'm out with Alex but when we get home I'll five ny thoughts on the pilot episodes.

Sweet!

Sounds great to me!

I would say just talk about it whenever, could talk about it as you watch or after. I doubt finding a common time we can all meet will be workable unfortunately... But if you post when you start watching, if I am here I'll pop it in and watch it with you.

Well, shall we say the first two pilot episodes for this week?

That was what I was leaning too. I don't have a set schedule at work either unfortunately.

So do we want to do a time when we all watch each week or would we rather have it so we watch an episode or two each week apache ever we have the time individually and come chat about it here?

Could you explain the difference for me, I'm not sure I follow.

MovingPictures07 wrote:So Annie has been bugging me about a LOST rewatch for years now, and I've never been ready for it. I haven't seen a single episode since the Finale aired.

I'm finally "ready" I guess, even though every time I think about the MiB/Jacob storyline and the Finale, I like it less and less. But I guess I'd never be really ready to rewatch it so I caved. I'm multitasking PhD work now as we watch the Pilot.

I have to admit, there was really no show like LOST in its prime. The character development was just so compelling and the mysteries were ridiculously enticing. It's just a shame the way they wrapped a lot of it up (or failed to).

It's really weird watching the Pilot again after all this time and knowing what's going to happen. I don't know what to think.

Ok, we were just talking about it, and I know there was a rewatch over at Hedville. Anyone be up for a LOST rewatch here? We are only in the second half the pilot at the moment, but we can stop here if so and organize it...

Lol, with an influx of new players, I am not so certain LOST fans are in the majority here. Sad, eh?

Well I do have to agree that I did not like the ending or pretty much most of the "flash sideways" so I will give you that. I think I liked more than most.i did have sme things I liked about the ending though...

Jack died
Kate ended up alone
Richard got off the island
Desmond and Penny got to be together
Hurley ended up as the new man in charge

Yep, that about sums up the highlights of the ending for me, lol. Can you tell who my least favorite characters were?

On a side note, if I were about to die in a sinking submarine and my husband decided to voluntarily die with me, orphaning our child in the process.... I would not find it a romantic gesture. I would die one very pissed off mother. Stupidest death IMO. /rant

I will try not to let that affect our friendship Robert.
