Live Blogging LOST (Episode 17, Season 3)

9:56PM: America finally got it right. Ba-BYE Sanjaya! How excited is everyone for LOST?

10:01PM: Does anyone else think Charlie’s days may be numbered tonight? (fingers crossed)

10:04PM: Obviously a dream…. but creepy nonetheless.

10:14PM: Isn’t ‘camping’ what they’ve been doing for three seasons?

10:19PM: Who remembers what this cable does? Anybody?

10:22PM: Jack and Kate romance… snoozefest. Where are THE OTHERS! Or at the very least Juliet.

10:23PM: Oh Kate…come on. You’re better than that…

10:26PM: Helicopter!!! That doesn’t sound good. D’OH

10:27PM: I knew it, Starbuck totally crashed on the island!

10:28PM: Why would any company be dumb enough to choose Charlie Sheen as its spokesperson? It’s one step away from Anna Nicole Smith (RIP)

10:33PM: It’s Maybe from ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT (okay not really)

10:35PM: Not to jump off the LOST bandwagon (again), but this week’s episode is far less exciting than the past few weeks episodes. Juliet finally makes an appearance… remember folks, she’s EVIL!

10:38PM: Satellite phone.. or iPhone?

10:39PM: How does Charlie know Penny?

10:47PM: Didn’t Desmond learn anything from THE SOUND OF MUSIC… the Abbey isn’t a place to hide from the real world.

10:50PM: Desmond saved Charlie’s life again. Talk about anti-climactic.

10:51PM: For the record, Superman would totally beat the Flash in race. Superman can fly around the world in minutes… he’s obviously faster than The Flash.

10:58PM: Okay, obviously I missed something, but I have no idea who that woman is? It’s next season’s Nikki!

    Holy crap, this better be a dream!

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    No, Charlie has a flashback episode coming up in a few weeks. They’ll off him then.

  • Comon Sense

    What the….?

    (And Idol just lost me as a viewer.)

    Hurley: “This is future crap isn’t it?”

    That’s great.

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Tim… Charlie doesn’t need to be alive for a flashback! Look at Niki and Paulo (RIP)

  • Frank

    Amazing start.

    Is anyone else watching this KY Lubricant commercial thats on ABC right now?

    how random.

    I didnt think that sort of this needed to be advertised.

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    I was actually going to comment that times must be tough for Kelsey Grammer.. FRASIER’S doing a Hyundai commercial.

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    Whoa, Desmond was a monk?

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    DENIED!

  • Rhonda

    Aren’t they already “camping”?

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Rhonda – can you see the future… I literally just posted that seconds before you did… Creepy!

  • Common Sense

    So Desi is setting Chuckie up for the kill, just so all the pieces fit and Penny sweeps in for the rescue? I guess I’m following this.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    What’s that red light in the sky? Are they recreating a Ben Franklin moment?

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    Am I the only one who thinks these flashbacks are increasingly pointless and kinda repetitive in nature? How many times do we have to see their redemptive pasts? The Paolo/Niki episode aside, they’ve just seemed kinda blah to me.

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    I thought it was a helicopter.. and what’s a Ben Franklin moment?

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    You know, flying a kite in the sky to attract lightning?

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    What a little brat. Jealous of Juliet so she goes to frak Sawyer…

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    hmmm… we know pregnant women have major problems … wonder if Kate’ll wind up pregnant in the finale?

  • Common Sense

    Kate doing the dishes. Yeah.

    Ok, funny campfire stories…

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Tim… what the ‘frak’ – the battlestar galactica live blogging event doesn’t start until January 08…. of course with all these brits on the island i can understand where you’d be confused. desmond does sort of resemble baltar

  • Frank

    hellicopter!!!!

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    “With enough money and determination, you can find anyone.” There’s a quote that will no doubt be important… and damn if you weren’t right about the helicopter!

  • Rhonda

    tvaddict, can YOU see the future WTF!

  • Common Sense

    Explain!

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    I like saying Frak.

    Frak you!

  • Frank

    im thinking this ‘rescue’ has alot to do with those 2 guys up in that Arctic base we saw at the end of season 2

  • http://umberhaven.blogspot.com Todd W in NC

    What was everyone looking at in the sky after the helicopter crashed? All I saw were clouds.

  • Rhonda

    OMG, I forgot all about those guys!

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Todd… did you not see the red dot in the sky? (a second helicopter perhaps). Someone needs to buy a new HD TV :)

  • http://umberhaven.blogspot.com Todd W in NC

    No, I’m afriad I didn’t see it. I even rewound the TiVo to watch that part again.

    And, I was thinking the same thing about HDTV. Man, we’re all on each other’s wavelengths tonight, aren’t we? ;)

  • Rhonda

    Jeez, they’ve been to the bad wig store again this week.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    Given this show’s tendency to do redemptive storylines, I suspect the end will involve Desmond NOT sacrificing Charlie’s life and, for that reason, screwing up Penny’s return.

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Todd… as a recent HD convert (since September) I can tell you it’s truly amazing. Once you go HD, you never go back.

  • Rhonda

    Her?

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    *cues the twilight zone theme*

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    “YOu two arguing over who’s your favorite other?” Classic Sawyer line!

  • Common Sense

    Penny looked like Juliette at fast glance there.

  • Rhonda

    Anyone else dying to see “Hot Fuzz”? I hope it’s half as good as “Shaun of the Dead”!

  • Frank

    nice Arrested Development reference Rhonda!

    Im thinking the same thing tralfaz, charlie wont die the way we saw at the start of the episode. but that arrow will definately hit someone.

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Rhonda, was just about to write that. Seriously, Spooky! LOVED Shaun of the Dead… definitely want to see Hot Fuzz

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    Oh, and it’s Maeby. Get it right.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    Didn’t Desmond show Charlie the pic of Penny? What’s wrong, TVAddict, are you so busy commenting that you’re not actually watching? LOL. Not that it matters… this isn’t a great episode. It’s one of those episodes where you know what’s coming and you just want to get to the last two minutes to see how things end.

    And why are there three Mohecan Sun commercials in a row??? Geez!

  • Rhonda

    I think we’re all channeling Desmond a little tonight! Oh and nice catch on the AD ref. Frank!

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    why would there be a cassette tape?

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    Bernard. Another of those disappearing characters. Argh.

  • http://umberhaven.blogspot.com Todd W in NC

    The two reviewers at Girls On Film both gave Hot Fuzz a “Run to the Theater,” their highest rating.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    Really… why the HELL would Charlie bring his guitar on a hike like this? I mean, that’s kinda dumb.

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    sorry tralfaz.. it’s our biggest live lost bloggin yet (seven people, a new record!) so i’m trying to juggle comments and watching at the same time. my ‘brilliant’ and ‘witty’ comments don’t write themselves… it takes virtualy seconds of thought.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    LOL. And well worth every one of them, TA. Seconds well spent. Especially during these boring-ass flashbacks.

  • Rhonda

    Is it wrong that I love seeing Charlie get stuck with that arrow! Maybe Legolas shot him? Okay… I’m a little bored by this ep.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    What am I missing? What’s this “Hot Fuzz?” It sounds like either a SuperTroopers sequel (God forbid) or a porn movie about ladies with, um, well-shorn privates.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    “Even if I spoke Korean, it wouldn’t make any sense.” Another great line. Good lines, so-so episode. OH GOD, NOT THIS DEBATE AGAIN!

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    Predictable. And jesus, nobody even got hit by the arrow??? Lame.

  • Rhonda

    Donald! Duck!

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    LOL@rhonda

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    The Sound of Music? Seriously?

    Snow, why are you posing as Daniel?

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    I stayed awake for this? Geez, if this episode doesn’t have a great twist at the end, I’m back to watching on DVR… although this, my first (and potentially last) live blogging has been fun…

  • Common Sense

    Nappy!

  • amanda

    this time last week, i have practically going into cardiac arrest.

    and now…? lame.

  • http://umberhaven.blogspot.com Todd W in NC

    Hot Fuzz is an action movie spoof about small town cops in England. I don’t know the details about it. If I remember correctly, Richard Roeper and A.O. Scott (from Ebert & Roeper) also gave it two thumbs up in their early review.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    Wilhemena! I love me some Willy! Wait, that sounds wrong…

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Tim G… that line was all mine. As I re-iterate… these lines take seconds to make-up.

    Also, I did not just hear the ABC promo guy say ‘an all new October-O’ so cheesy.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    Did Common just call me a nappy-headed ho?

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    Oooh, Izzie’s baby girl on Grey’s tomorrow night… I’ll have to tape that while I’m out seeing a special pre-screening of KNOCKED UP.

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    So he just assumes she/he/it’s dead… instead of, oh, I don’t know, unconscious?

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    folks…. let’s stay away from the word ‘nappy’… unless of course all the publicity gets thetvaddict.com on CNN… think Al Sharpton likes LOST?

    also… what do you mean ‘ (and potentially last) live blogging has been fun…’

  • Rhonda

    No f’n way is that Penny!

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    All this flashback crap just so we could see him meet Penny? UGHHHH. When this show is lame, it’s REALLY lame.

  • http://umberhaven.blogspot.com Todd W in NC

    Did anyone else recognize the woman in the photo on the monk’s desk? I think it was the woman from the jewelry shop from one of Desmond’s previous flashbacks. Is the actress’s name Finola Flanagan, or am I thinking of someone else?

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Good eye Todd… I didn’t notice that, even on my really nice HDTV!

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    I love the name Penelope.

  • Rhonda

    I’m at a loss for words that ep. was so pointless!!!!

  • http://umberhaven.blogspot.com Todd W in NC

    Yay, next week is a Jin/Sun episode.

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Brutal episode, but thanks for everyone for stopping by. Made the hour fly by!

  • http://www.myspace.com/crimesagainstcivility tralfaz

    Of course, I immediately looked at that photo on freeze-frame, and she looked familiar, but couldn’t figure it out exactly. Good eye!

  • Common Sense

    Agree…lame ep. Who is this chick, and why would she just parachute onto the island?

  • Rhonda

    See ya next week!

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    See everybody next week. Same Bat Time, Sam Bat Channel

  • http://whatisthegfor.vox.com Tim G.

    Obviously the TV Addict doesn’t watch Smallville. He’d know that The Flash can easily beat Superman in a foot race.

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Tim G… I do not consider SMALLVILLE as the definitive SuperMan.. There is no way Beav from Veronica Mars could outrun Tom Welling.

  • paketep

    God, another boring episode…

    According to IMDB, the girl’s name is Naomi, and she’s at least in the next ep.
