First of all, I'm SO GLAD Lost is back. Last night's episode had so much content.. it's still sinking in.

On a lighter note... I loved some of the lines from last night.

Of course.... Tom's "I'm Tom, by the way." Awkward, but endearing.

Sawyer's many names for Alex... within the first 5 minutes of meeting her he calls her "Sheena", "Underdog", and "Lollipop". I love Sawyer.

I also LOVED the Star Wars reference "I can't believe he fell for the old Wookie Prisoner trick." LOL

Anyone else have favorite lines/moments from this eppy?

Best. Line. Ever. (The "Wookie prisoner" thing, that is.) Sawyer is such a nerd! Also could be a nod to how his character was influenced by Harrison Ford's portrayal of Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy.

I love Tom, by the way! I thought it was hilarious how they clearly drew parallels between Hurley's "I'm not so good with blood" scene and Tom's queasiness around the operating table.

I totally agree that this is the BEST line yet!!!!! I was in tears, laughing at it!!!!! SAWYER IS THE BEST!!!!

They writers and Josh have always kind of said that Sawyer thay they envisioned Sawyer as a Han Solo type character...so it makes sense that he's referred to Star Wars several times. I thought this was the best reference though...

He has called Jin Chewy a whole bunch of times because she doesn't understand him...and he referred to Michael and Jin as "Han and Chewie" when he was watching them build the boat.

sawyer is han solo. first calling hurley "jabba" and then the wookie prisoner trick, all solo doings. i love it that nerds rule everything now.

AMEN!!!!!! Gotta luv that!:biggrin:

I think even Carlton and Damon have said Sawyer's like Han, and Jack Sparrow, etc. Despicable, but funny and loveable.

Also, liked how Alex gave it right back to him when he was picking on her... she's got some wit...

I found myself (and maybe it's the withdrawl factor) saying to myself (and out loud) I love these characters.

I'm still waiting for Sawyer to say, "I've got a bad feeling about this" or "Hey, It's me!"
Then the circle would be complete.

Or perhaps Kate will whisper "I love you" to Sawyer after he is captured and about to be frozen in carbonite. And Saywer will calmly reply..."I know". Now that would complete the circle. :)

Oh... now THAT would ROCK!!! (I'm such a Star Wars geek.) :)

LOL, and it would be perfectly in character for them to say those lines (though I'm not sure where there is carbonite on the island...). And since Kate didn't tell Sawyer she loved him in I Do, she still needs to tell him.

"Lost in Star Wars" (http://starwars.com/community/news/rocks/f20060505/indexp2.html) - J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof discuss their love of Star Wars and references to SW they have put in the show.

This article was last May...have a new update. :chewie2:

Thanks for the link, Dezdmona. :) I had read similar stuff about the writers influences... It's so interesting and fun to draw the parallels between characters in Lost and those of Star Wars. I'm sure it's been done SOMEWHERE on the net... I just haven't done a search, but I've theorized about the similarities... intentional or not.

I think that's why when they throw in those little references-- it makes me smile. :)

If you think about it, if sawyer is han.... then i guess you could say that kate would be leia? and if kate kissed jack once just like starwars does that make jack luke?

the producers did mention the love triangle but i think its a little unlikely kate's jacks sister

lol just something to think about

Unlikely that Kate is Jack's sister... but there is speculation that Jack has a sister on the island.... only they couldn't be twins like Luke and Leia.

Also, would Ben be a closer parallel to Darth Vader or Darth Sidious? I'm going with Sidious. LOL

I know I'm one of the few who never saw any of the "Star Wars" movies, but would someone be nice enough to explain what the Wookie Prisoner Trick is? I feel like I'm missing out on an important Sawyer joke. Thanks.

There was a scene in one of the Star Wars movies where Han Solo and Luke are dressed up as storm troopers, and they put binders on Chewbacca, and act like they are escorting him as their prisoner to get past some guards. The scene played out pretty much exactly how it did in the LOST episode. GREAT REFERENCE!! I don't usually laugh out loud when I'm watching TV by myself, but this was one of those occasions. :biggrin:

The mysterious Jacob seems to be above Ben in the Others hierarchy so that would make Jacob Sidious and Ben Vader.

My fave bit was just after the wookie reference when Kate threatened to shoot the guy in the knee and Sawyer thought it was a Bluff, then she replied that it wasn't. Also the guy getting hit by the bus made me laugh

Ther are speculations that after TFTR (when Jacks dad was arguing with that blonde Aussie woman to let him see his daughter) that Claire and Jack are siblings, well... half-siblings.

i'm glad to see everyone is as nerdy as I am! i know that the epi. was packed with amazing things, but seriously, the wookie line was my favorite part.

Seconded :biggrin:

The wookie line was one of the best and funniest things he's ever said.

Guess this means that Locke=Yoda??

sawyer is han solo. first calling hurley "jabba" and then the wookie prisoner trick, all solo doings. i love it that nerds rule everything now.

Wow - Sawyer sure doesn't look like any nerd i've ever met!!!!!! :eek2: :kiss:

I think even Carlton and Damon have said Sawyer's like Han, and Jack Sparrow, etc. Despicable, but funny and loveable.



Indeed they did - check out my siggy!!!!! :biggrin: :cool:

Guess this means that Locke=Yoda??

Who would that make Tom??

When Tom and co attacked the raft did Sawyer shoot first??? Another Sw reference for all the nerds

Wait, wait, wait.....did you just say you have never seen Star Wars? WOW!

The greatest Star Wars reference of all time was in the film "Boogie Nights."
???

I thought one of the funniest Sawyer lines was when Kate was talking to Jack, and Sawyer sarcastically says "tell him I said hi, would you get to the point!!!!" lol

Guess this means that Locke=Yoda??

I'd say that Eko = Yoda, and Locke = Obi-Wan. And of course, Charlie = C-3PO.

Please, please don't let there be a Jar Jar Binks....please

I'd say that Eko = Yoda, and Locke = Obi-Wan. And of course, Charlie = C-3PO.

So is Hurley R2D2?

So is Hurley R2D2?

No, Hurley is Jabba the Hutt :biggrin:

Of course, Walt is an Ewok ...
