PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Lord of the Flies" |
It seems inevitable to me that some comparison be drawn to "Lord of the Flies", here. Not because it's a bunch of people stranded by a plane on a jungle island, but because, as I watch, I am reminded of the book by small things.Jack just reminds me of Ralph. I am not sure exactly why. Ralph was described as being young, fit, sort of easygoing and very friendly. He was a real people person. So is Jack. Both are reluctant leaders. I know, these are just the sort of character traits that make a story good, so I'm not making a claim that any of this is actually influenced by the book. It just seems so...connected. Then there's the whole beast in the forest terror. In "lost"'s case, there really IS something dark and dreadful in the forest, whereas the beast in the forest in LOTF was something the children had conjured up, the metaphor for their fear of the unknown, of the wild and alien world so different from the civilization they had known. Then there's the boar hunt. The similarities could be the simple result of both stories taking place on a jungle island, and the experiences can be fairly universal. There's nothing really in depth here. I am mostly just wondering if anyone else has thought of LOTF while watching this.

And now they have two tribes. I don't really know all what happened in tonight's episode because the broadcast was choppy.

2. "RE: Lord of the Flies *Spoilers for Episode 10/27*" |
Sayid was the one who advocated staying on the beach with the signal fire, though. If this were in keeping with LOTF, it would have been Jack talking about the importance of the fire. Heck, but it's still another similarity!
I'll try and summarize what happened for you.Jack took Kate, Locke, and the rocker kid back to the water site, where Rocker kid managed to dislodge a hive of bees. As they all ran from it into the caves, kate and Jack discovered what appeared to be two mummified corpses. They called them Adam and Eve, and surmised they had lived in the caves together.
Meanwhile, the Korean guy attacks the black guy for no apparent reason, and Sayid breaks it up and handcuffs the Korean guy to part of the plane. This week it is Sun, the Korean girl's chance to flashback.
In her flashbacks we discover that Korean guy was a lowly waiter working a party at her Mobster father's estate, presumably in South Korea. They're in love, and she begs him to elope with her, but he refuses, saying he will speak to her father for permission.
Later, he meets her on a bridge and surprises her by telling her that her father has agreed to the marriage, provided he go to work for him. She is happy. Next we see them, they are married and living in a NICE apartment, and he is working long hours. One night he comes rushing in, covered in blood, and she demands to know what he does for her father, and whose blood it is. We are to surmise that Korean guy is a hitman for Sun's father.
Flash forward a little more. Sun speaks to a woman who has arranged for her to flee the country and escape her husband and father. Sun is warned they will search for her, and the woman who is helping her asks her if she is sure she cannot reconcile with her husband. Sun shakes her head.
At the camp, Jack is trying to talk survivors into moving to the cave, while Sayid asks at least one person to stay. Sayid was not happy that Jack seemed to just decide they were going to move, and thinks the signal fire is the most important thing.
We are shown that people think Jack and Kate are 'getting together', that Sayid is from Iraq, and that Sun is actually not the oppressed wife she might have first come across as. And that, unfortunately, is as far as I have gotten in the episode. I haven't seen the last 20 minutes.
