"One Of Them"

Rousseau leads Sayid to a captive who may be one of the "Others," and Sawyer forces Hurley to help him track down an elusive island creature.

http://television.aol.com/feature/lost_tv Preview clips for tonights show.

TitanTV says the episode runs 3 minutes long, so if you record, PAD, PAD, PAD (or just record Invasion, too.)

Also next week, we get to see the pilot for the umpteenth time instead of a new episode.

Why not just use a spoiler tag?

For...?

Who's it referring to?

From Sci-Fi Wire:

J.J. Abrams, co-creator of ABC's hit SF series Lost, denied to SCI FI Wire that producers were planning to kill off any characters because of an actor's off-screen behavior. In an interview at WonderCon in San Francisco on Feb. 11, Abrams specifically denied rumors that the character of Ana Lucia would die as a result of actress Michelle Rodriguez's recent highly public run-ins with the police.

"While we don't want to report on the fate of any of the characters in the show, I would say without question that any reports that anything that's going on with any of the actors as being problematic or certainly resulting in changing the storyline to sort of, you know, get rid of them is just erroneous and silliness," Abrams said.

Rodriguez grabbed headlines in December, when she was arrested in Hawaii for drunk driving. Rodriguez, 27, is scheduled to stand trial March 30 after pleading not guilty. She was also cited for speeding in Hawaii three times last year. Lost shoots in Hawaii.

Abrams, who was at WonderCon to promote his upcoming Mission: Impossible III, added: "There's a lot of stuff that has happened that's extracurricular, and it's in the news. It becomes fodder for speculation. The truth is that the cast is the greatest. I don't know if you saw the SAG Awards, but ... most of them, those who weren't working, were there and got up. ... You see who they are and how they are. They're an amazing group, all of them, and we're just blessed to get to work with them. "

For his part, Abrams said that he will dive back into Lost next season, now that M:I III is nearing completion. "I will be more involved in the show next year," he said. As for this season, he added, executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse "are finishing up this season. They have a very clear picture of this year and the beginning of the next. My dream would be to be able to go back and ... definitely direct an episode and at the very least ... be more involved than this year, which was incredibly peripherally because of the movie. So. People come to me and say, 'Oh, my God, I love Lost this season,' and I'm always flattered. ... I always have to say, 'I wish I could tell you that I had much more to do with it than I do, you know, this year.'" Lost airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

I just realized today that Roussau is Delen from Bab5...doh!

That's what has been missing this season.

Sayid.

He is the motherfucking man.

Is it just me, or did they go to fewer, longer commercial breaks?

Excellent episode imho, the Hurley/Sawyer subplot was entirely pointless filler but the other stuff was great. :up:

another great episode, loved Sayids character,. I liked the Hurly subplot. hes great, sad with the poor frog though :(...

is it me but the opening shot of Iraq looked like a CG shot from a playstation game?

Holy Shit! What a tease that was in the hatch with the counter. I am dying to know what was gonna happen.

The CG has always been poor in this show, but for TV, I can forgive it. Remember the CG polar bear attack in Season 1? Yeah, I tried to forget too.

So any guess about
Also from the preview for the next new episode

I actually liked this episode for its "upclose and personal" scope.

Was that a photo of Kate that the G.I. was looking (at the end of the episode before Sayid is left on the side of the road)?

The Iraqi exterior shots looks a little too CG/composite screen to me.

Sayid brought home some personal pain to the forefront. It might have done him some good to whup up on Henry.

So did Locke hit the slot machine jackpot by seemingly not entering the numbers in time?

The background at the end when they dropped Sayid off looked fake too. Glad to know it's not just me.

the ending cg shots looked pretty good but the first shot looked fake, them symbols looked like egyption symbols

That's what I thought - it sure looked like her.

So where was Rosseau all this time? I know it's a big island but I'm suprised she just popped back in like that. That reminds me, I wonder where the hell Desmond is.

On the subject of the CG, does anyone else thing the title sequence was done that way to save money (it's a very very simple thing to do, I could probably whip something just like that up in iMovie in like 10 minutes). I guess they didn't know they'd have a hit show on their hands when they did the pilot!

To answer your question ....yes it was.

It's atmospheric.... I guess.. My original comment was that for a $14m pilot episode, theres certainly a lot of aliasing on the S. But I'm extremely happy with it now, it's not only instantly identifiable, but it isn't tacky nor long. Works for me :up:

I'm getting sick of the lack of answers.

time to start rooting for the others now.

I believe that was Kate's dad in the truck with Sayid, there at the end. Nice to see Clancy Brown as the one who brings out Sayid's terrible talent.

Thats it. I'm out.

Hmm, for some reason I always assumed Sayid was in Gulf War II, not GF I.

A bit annoyed nothing else happened with the numbers other than those weird symbols. Another filler I guess, but at least we know more about Sayid and Jack finally grew a pair to stand up to Locke.

I would be super pissed if the Army dropped me off in the middle of matte painting.
