Yes, the didn't show it, but Jack put the Marshall out of his misery after Sawyer missed his heart. I still can't believe he didn't shoot him in the forehead. |
After seeing this episode, I believe even more strongly that the monster is

Originally posted by B.A. Michael gave Walt his old yellow lab. Then they showed everyone in a nice, peaceful moment. Then they showed the ingenious Mr. Locke, who made the dog-whistle to find Old Yeller, and the happy music stopped as the camera panned around his head. |
Originally posted by movieking Anyway, what happened in the last couple of minutes? |
With the way the ending was going, I was waiting for the hobbit to find his bass guitar in the wreckage and lead the survivors in a chorus of Kumbaya.
I thought that when Locke told Michael about the dog being tied up by a tree, Michael would round the bend to find that the dog had been torn to shreds by the island monster-thingy. I don't know how they would've shown that... maybe just in a reaction shot by Michael. I also thought that Jack killed the marshall, with the way his breathing changed suddenly and stopped. Adds more to the whole "we all died in the crash, it doesn't matter who we were, we all get a fresh start" thing, I think. Can someone describe (in spoilers) what the next-episode-preview showed? Tivo cut me off before the camera rounded Locke's head. Does "Tabula Rasa" (the episode's title) mean "clean slate" in another language? Don't go to ABC.com and view the Lost video gallery if you don't want to be spoiled. Watching "Meet the Characters 2," I learned that Spoiler:

Originally posted by Static Cling Does "Tabula Rasa" (the episode's title) mean "clean slate" in another language? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula_rasa The original Tabula Rasa is a theory that the (human) mind is at birth a "blank slate" without data or rules for processing it, and that data is added and rules for processing it formed solely by our sensory experiences. Tabula Rasa (Latin for "clean slate" or "blank slate") was first advocated by John Locke, and is central to empiricism. It is also featured in Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis. As understood by Locke, tabula rasa meant that the mind of the individual was born "blank", and it also emphasized the individual's freedom to author his own soul. |

Originally posted by 12thmonkey Ditto here. Damn TIVO cut off just as the camera was starting to pan around Locke's head. I'm not that concerned about next week's previews, but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss a zinger at the very end. |
Damn you TIVO! It cut off the last few seconds for me as well because it had to start recording something else on a different channel after it.
Very cool episode! When I heard the noise the monster was making this time in the trees I immediately thought it was an elephant as well. It sounded just like it and an elephant would be big enough to knock down trees. What's the deal with all these big animals? Very strange. And I wonder what Kate did? |
So.... Can someone tell me what happened in the entire episode?

Originally posted by renaldow It was found out the surivors actually went through a wormhole to purgatory where everything they think of happens or comes true. The Korean Guy built a radio and signalled a passing ship to come pick them up, but Gilligan's pants were on fire and he accidentally ran into the table and broke the radio before the polar bear could transmit their latitude and longitude. rotfl By the way, am I supposed to know who this Locke guy is? Everyone is talking about him like he's a personal friend. All he's done is sit on the beach by himself, I don't know what would lead anyone to believe he is the key to the whole story... other than the ominous forboding music at the end of tonight's ep. |
Has there only been one episode before this or a couple?
I missed the first , however many but watched this one and it was quite good. Could someone spoilerize briefly what happened in the prior episodes? Obviously there was a plane crash and there is some sort of monster in the jungles , anything else important? Oh and does anyone know what song was playing at the end of tonights episode? |
Another damn_Tivo rant here. -ohbfrank-
When they panned his head, did they show his face? Or did the music simply change? |
They showed his face.

That's the essence of the pilot. Edit: Okay, Tiberius' post is the barebones essence of the pilot. :) My explanation has a few shreds of meat hanging from it. |
The ominous music as the camera panned around to Locke's unsmiling face wasn't too much of a sledgehammer. Hear the music! He must be evil!

Originally posted by Tscott Yes. Latin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula_rasa John Locke, huh? Concidince? O'Quinn is a philosopher from the 1600s with a magic comic book that has trapped everyone on the island(afterlife) and is watching them as they are "reborn" clean. It all makes sense now! To expand on that. Found this on another message board: Second, I checked the definition of Tabula Rasa, and came up with two definitions at www.cogsci.princeton.edu/...abula+rasa that seemed quite interesting. The first (with which I was familiar) was “a clean slate OR fresh start OR an opportunity to start over without prejudice”. The second definition was even more interesting – “a young mind not affected by experience.” What makes it interesting is that this definition originated from a British Philosopher by the name of (drum role please)………John Locke. Last, I looked up our friend Mr. John Locke, and found that he is most well-known for his An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. There’s a lot to it, but there was one metaphor he uses early-on that I thought relevant. He seems to describe that which is comprehensible and that which is not comprehensible by humans as, “…the Horizon found, which sets the boundary between the enlightened and the dark Parts of Things.” Check out more at plato.stanford.edu/entries/locke/ for more of Locke’s bio and philosophy. Light and Dark? Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Hmmmmm. Amazing coincidence or not, it’s somewhat interesting at the very least. Saying that people are not born with ideas already implanted into there heads, but are born with a slate, waiting to be written on. He also said that you learn from your sensation/reflection. If you touch a hot stove, you don't do it again, You learn that and here is some Q&A to shut up the silly theories of afterlife and so forth. Q: Is the monster a dinosaur? A: No. The producers have stated that there will be no dinosaurs on the island. Q: Does the island make the fears of the survivors 'come to life', in a kind of updated version of "Forbidden Planet"? A: No. The producers have nixed this idea. Whatever we find on the island is real and will have either a scientific or pseudo-scientific explanation. There will be no magic of any kind (including science fantasy magic). Q: Are the survivors actually dead? A: No. The producers have thrown this out as well. |

Anyone think the Korean guy might kill and eat Vincent later in the episode if they ran out of food?

Well damn ABC and their commercial breaks. I watched this live in HDTV again and having a commercial break every 5 to 7 minutes or so really ruins the flow of the program. A one hour program should only have the break after the intro and then a break at approx 15, 30 & 45 minutes. I counted at least 5 commercial breaks after the intro.
I just may go back to my Tivo and watch the East Coast feed 2 to 3 hours earlier! I thought this episode was lacking in a lot of drama and suspense. Hopefully next weeks episode picks up a bit. Chris |
