4x02: "... For Words" - Discussion Thread

Well i thought the way KoR wrote the last one he was alluding to future Jack shooting her. However i'm glad you chose Jin instead. I thought it tied up the loose end that was Jin and Bernard and it was a more believeable conclusion to that. Perosnally i think that having future Jack introduced so early in the series (if at all) would have beena pretty big and theory heavy move to make for a group 'amateurs'.

I actually thought that you got all of the character connections and relationships dead on. No one seemed oddly sinister or indeed friendly.

My only criticism is that you didn't go with '...for words' i personally think that would have tied in nicely with the other Jin/Sun episodes and would have put less emphasis on the rain which IMO didn't play as big a part on the episode as i suspected at first. Obviously though that was your own choice and you've every reason to stand by it, just me putting in my two cents worth.

i think you chose well with Jin there had it been Sawyer, Kate etc then it would have been too obvious and had you picked Bernard or Claire then it would have been too unbelievable so therefore Jin was just right he isn't the sort of person who immediately comes to mind and it wasn't unbelievable

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Hey Kor... I like my other title better too...
You think you could change the title for me? :P

You can change the title of your own threads on this forum.

Maybe not this one since Rocco has locked it

[Kiowa Warrior]

I'll change the title Mal

[hundredand8]

Brilliant! Much better title considering the content of the episode!!

And, Malion, thats quite a clever trick there. Cause this title *could* give the identity of the shooter away, so when we first read it you picked a non spoiler title. Now that we have read it, you give the correct title.

As I said, clever

Or incredibly serendiptous....

I think Mal would rather the former :P

Holy Magikarp! Thats the exact reason I didn't pick it in the first place.
Wow... you read me like a book. Man... you're good.

No seriously... and I figured we could call it that now, because you've all already read it.

[JB Sawyer]

Put "Flash" infront of the new title

[Malion]

Yes, and you have the name of one of our newer members of the forum. :P

And it's a Flashback ep anyway.

Another reason I didn't put it as "...for Words" initially, is because it seemed to me, that I was making a shout out of sorts to my old C4 friend "Lost_for_Words" Who is someone whom I gave a large cameo in my Alt. LOST fic.
But.. that's retarded, as most of you don't remember LFW... maybe.

Ok, I'll stop talking now, I'm getting nowhere with this. :P

Well I really didn't give any further info on that.
In true lost fashion, I left Locke utterly confusing.

Let Mrs. Ferg deal with 'im.

Actually just thinking that when you introduced Desmond he didn't say much. But I hope someone remembers that he has to tell everyone Charlie is dead, otherwise we'll have a big big continuity error.

[The Wizard]

Desmond doesnt have to tell anyone if he doesn't want to

[hundredand8]

Oh yeah, I just remembered. This is Lost. They don't talk.
