Lost: Season Six

[DirtyMartini]

Also of note is that the smoke monster often has a definite snake-like form, like Apophis,

Also, the four-toed statue is a depiction of Apophis' consort, some sort of mother/crocodile goddess.

and there are usually the sounds of chains while it moves.

This is why I'm one of the people who thinks the use of word chains is importantl.

The next episode has, perhaps, the most ominous title in the show's history:

What Kate Does



Jesus, I hate that character.

[Drake Tungsten]

I hope what she does is to commit suicide.

[Guynemer]

Actually, I hope the Marshal catches up with her and puts a double tap in the back of her skull.

Although, that would be more of What The Marshal Does, so I'm probably **** outta luck.

[EPW]

I'm watching season 2 and I've seen at least two screwups. I saw a boat in the background when they were on the raft; and I saw the horse trainer's hand in the "What Kate Did" episode. I don't think I've ever seen such blatant mistakes in a "modern" high budget show before.

[Guynemer]

Dude, there's a car in the background in a scene in the Shire in the LOTR movies. Screw ups happen, no big deal.

[Dinner]

There is?

[Guynemer]

Yup. I think it was in the Shire, but I could be wrong. Can't be arsed to look it up.

[Felch]

I think there was also one in the Two Towers when Gandalf summons Shadowfax.

[Dr Strangelove]

Shadowfax came by car?

[DaShi]

No,by fax.

[EPW]

These ones are so obvious though. You'd think they could fix it with CGI or something.

[Guynemer]

Wait, you mean those ones in Lost are so obvious?

There isn't a lot of budget for CGI in TV. There are a handful of very obvious CGI effects of dubious quality in the final few seasons of Lost.

There are a handful of very obvious CGI effects of dubious quality in the final few seasons of Lost.

The sunken Island scene from the premiere was of particularly dubious quality.

[Felch]

The quality is pretty lousy, but it's still good for a TV show. Lost production values are way above what we grew up with.
