lol.. what do you mean JUST? The whole premise of the story with the films has always been something other than cut and dry.

Sigh..... Fine! (spoiler alert)




The whole thing with the trade minister from Japan just kind of happening with no explanation is the strange thing. Has he escaped reality and freed himself from the other one? And Julianna is his daughter in law? Strange but fun.

Highlight Below...


I kind of liked that part of the story. It starts to explain where the films come from. Not sure about Julianna but she's starting to sound like Neo and I'm not sure how her sister is back in the picture

Deb,

Did you see the 3/14/17 episode of Detroiters called "3rd Floor"? I found it hilarious with the whole, it's good for the city angle.

[-Deborah-]

Yes! We love that show. And it nailed the "we are saving Detroit" angle we hear a lot around these parts. The reason for the third floor visits was also well done...hahaha!!

[jaadam4]

Awwwwwww.... She said "we"....


That's so cute Deb!!! Do you and the hubby have matching PJ and dress alike at the mall?

[-Deborah-]

lol!! Well, there are certain shows that we must watch together. Detroiters is one of them! Homeland, Shameless, and Superstore are the others.

But yes, we wear matching PJ's...why do you ask? ;)

[jaadam4]

Because Deb, that's what couples do. You and your hubby are the boppsie twins!

ok, so I just watched GoT season 6. (yeah yeah, shut up)

Hodor = hold the door? That's f'ing lame.

[jaadam4]

wtf have you been waiting for?!!?!?! That was a fantastic season!

Hold the door was pretty lame but I was always wondering why he was saying that shit over and over.

[LionsFanInJapan]

If George RR Martin planned that from the beginning....dude, fuck that guy and the fact he hasn't released anymore books for me to read.

Although, I do like that he made Arya more of a character, because she is great.

Lol that Hodor scene was a tear jerker for me. Part of the reason: same director that directed the best LOST episodes.

I'm midway through the A Clash of Kings book. Highly recommend because surprisingly... books might be greater than show because of the amount of details provided. It's more focused. Crazy how close some scenes are when comparing the book to show. Dialogue is exact sometimes. No wonder book readers are down on some aspects of seasons 5-6...

[CGVT]

There were "best" lost episodes?

[LionsFanInJapan]

I read all the books way before Martin decided he could make more money off the tv show.

[Cody_Russell]

There were "best" lost episodes?

Surprisingly, yes. I rewatched the series a couple months ago.
A lot of the episodes are a complete waste of time and I'd never recommend for someone to watch LOST.
However, there are 3-5 brilliant episodes... sprinkled among the 100 episode long series.
Not that it helps, but IMDB has ratings for every tv episode. These actually rated very well... directed by Jack Bender, the Hodor episode director:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0928284/?ref_=ttep_ep8

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0994365/?ref_=ttep_ep5

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1004798/?ref_=ttep_ep22

But again, a lot of wasteful episodes. It's like a hitter that has 100 at bats and hits 3-5 home runs.

IMO LOST was one of those game changers for non-premier channels. They completely raised the bar. At the time of shooting they looked like movies and not some crappy shot low budget after school special.

The problem with LOST was they really didn't know what they had. I mean literally. They didn't know the buzz was going to be as huge as it was and they didn't truly have a direction of what the show was and where it would go. They had a good idea to grab viewers but the fly by the seat of their pants writing left many holes in the stories and it showed.

Once they started with time travel I was pretty much done. It was like a shotgun blast of ideas trying to make something work. The first season was pretty epic then it was basically every other year was good until the end.
