Lost is screwing with our heads

October 16, 2005 1:12:38.975

We missed "Lost" on Wednesday - our misbehaving ReplayTV was on the fritz. So, we caught up this evening. In the middle of the episode, Hurley starts talking to Rose about his problem (the food found in the hatch). Jack walks by, and says hi to her.

At this point, the wife and I are saying - whoaaaa - she's dead! She died last season, I thought. I went hunting around the episode guides, and found this - "White Rabbit" last year, episode 5:

Jack is nearly delirious from lack of sleep and struggles to overcome the haunting events that brought him to Australia and, subsequently, to the island. Meanwhile, Boone gets caught in a treacherous riptide trying to save a woman who went out swimming. A pregnant Claire's health takes a bad turn from lack of fluids, and a thief may have stolen the last bottles of water. Veronica Hamel guest-stars as Jack's mother, Margo. Also, Jack (Matthew Fox) flashes back at 12 years old, to find himself on the playground in an altercation with a bully, who ultimately beats him up, and later learns a life lesson from his father.

I'm certain that the woman who Boone couldn't save was Rose - and now here she is, back in the flesh, and no one remembers that she's dead? What's up with that? Did I miss something, or is this a clue that will become plain later?

Lost is Lost?

Or maybe yet another program has jumped the shark :-)

I can't say for sure. I saw 10 minutes of one episode and that was enough for me.

not Rose

I recently finished watching (and renting) Lost season One. No, Rose has never been shown getting into the water. The woman Boone and Jack tried to rescue was never seen close up, and I think she was blond. I don't recall her name, but it was something common like Mary or Susan.

Season 2...

I can't believe you're wasting your time. The ending to Season 1 was enough to make me never watch it again, and never watch anything produced/directed/written by the team who created it either.

What a piece of shit tv show.

No, it was definitely not Rose who drowned. It was some poor blonde woman who never even got a close up
