Let's give her more tha a chance... this thread is a place for everyone who likes Ana Lucia to declare their love! Or at least lack of open hostility.

Personally, I like her. I think that she is a strong, interesting character with a lot of potential. I like the fact that her interactions with the castaways are full of tension. I felt for her when their aired her back story, and I look forward to seeing her deal with her emotional baggage and become a whole person again.

So, come on Ana Lucia lovers! Show you love!

Arcadia - see, we meet again. Count me in.

Excellent! :-) That makes 2 of 3. All we need is one more person and all the Ana Lucia lovers will be basically accounted for. Then we can make group hats! Okay, maybe not hats... I guess we could humm... Maybe make a theme song?

Lost on an Island...
Far from home...
We love Ana Lucia...
But we are all alone...

WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :toot:

Ana-Lucia finally got her own character board!!! :jump1:

I doubt many people know it's here so I'll go spread the word. There's more Ana-Lucia lovers than you think! ;)

Love her!!!!!!

Okay, so maybe I don't love her, but I certainly don't hate her, and I'm really interested to see how her character will develop over this and the next seasons.

Sure. I like Ana Lucia. She has a lot of potential to go interesting places if people would stop putting all their energy into dragging the character down. It hurts the reputation of the show more than anything, rather than proving their point. Our fanbase must look awful after that article was published citing the "Official Ana Lucia Hate Club".

Such a strong word.

Ana Lucia is like THE most explosive character on LOST; therefore she is kicka$$ - I love Ana Lucia!

I strongly agree you. and that's all I'll say about that.
don't want to go in *rant mode* LOL ;)

She has rocketed to one of my tippy-top LOST faves in the extraordinarily crowded field of my tippy-top faves in just the few episodes she has appeared in thus far!

I LOVE Ana-Lucia! I've posted a bit elsewhere in this spiffy new Ana-Lucia venue as to why I think she is so all-fired great, so I won't repeat myself. But I had to pipe up and be counted in this Ana appreciation thread!

True, I wouldn't want to come across her in a rainstorm in the jungle when she has a loaded gun, but "other" than that, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this character!

Within an extremely short amount of air time thus far, she has already made herself an intrinsic, intense and absolutely essential part of the LOST canvas.

Excellent! :-) That makes 2 of 3. All we need is one more person and all the Ana Lucia lovers will be basically accounted for. Then we can make group hats! Okay, maybe not hats... I guess we could humm... Maybe make a theme song?

:24: you are so funny :24: Either that or we can get armbands or numbered t-shirts. LOL! A theme song is a good idea...

We love Ana Lucia,
As they all throw stones at us.....

Oh, oh! May I add a verse or three?* :Jumpy:

Let's see...okay, here goes (your verse first, then mine *lol*):

Lost on an Island...
Far from home...
We love Ana Lucia...
But we are all alone...

She loves tequila and tonic
and sports quite the 'tude
Some people mistake this
for being downright rude

But Ana's got a heart of gold
of this we are convinced
so when people say anti-Ana things
we cannot help but wince

For Ana's gonna prove herself
just you wait and see
as she fends off others left and right
and tosses them to the sea

She'll also show us her softer side
and that will melt your hearts
So give her a chance, hang on a tick
before you throw your darts

* Edited to say: okay, so it ended up being 4 verses that I added, not three. "4" is a better number for a LOST fan, anyway.
;)

Okay, LockeHurleySawyer, I am really liking this armband idea. And the numbing thing. T-shirts are a little cliches. Armbands are cooler.

Hmm... Maybe AL *heart*1, AL*heart* 2 (the *heart* = an actual heart)

LOL - 4 is a better number for Lost fans. Nice verses. I'm not sure Ana Lucia has a heart of gold... but otherwise, I agree.

I dig her. She's up there with Locke and Sawyer for me.

Hopefully, she'll get our losties up off their collective butts and go confront "the others" already.

A little late to join the party--but I'm here anyway. Probably good though, as I'm a mere admirer of the beauty that is Ana Lucia, and not a lyricist anyway. ;)

But yes, Ana rocks!

Awesome - You are AL heart 1 and I'll be AL heart 2.....Cool ....LOL!

Excellent. Everyone grab a number.

AL♥1 <-- I will add this to my sig

P.S. -- Appearently armbands are trendy and I didn't notice. That's okay. I've never been trendy before. It could be a new thing.

Wow, I didn't know there were this many Ana-Lucia fans on the planet, and yet here we all are gathered into one thread. Awesome! :biggrin:

Excellent. Everyone grab a number.

AL♥1 <-- I will add this to my sig

Arcadia - I think we should keep track of this....I can start it, and edit it as new people come on board. So let us know if you want to be part of the AL armband brigade....Or you know what maybe we should start a new thread about it so people can jump on the bandwagon...how does that sound? I'll go and start one.

We can call it the AL Armband Brigade - for AL lovers only....sound good? Well I hope you all like it...I've added it to my signature too.

I agree, we definately need to keep track of the Ana Lucia Armband Brigade (like the name, by the way). Having a post and editing it is a good idea, so...

The Ana Lucia Armband Briage Member List (for Ana Lucia lovers only)
AL♥1 - Arcadia
AL♥2 - LockeHurleySawyer

Just tell us if you would like to be a member of the brigade, and your name will be added to the list! You also get a nifty set of AL initials, a ♥-heart, and a number of your very own to add to you sig, profile, or where ever. Show your support for Ana Lucia! Join the Brigade.

PS - starting a new thread is a good idea. Would it belong under lost groups, or in this section of the forums?

I posted in the armband thread, but I think it should probably be in the lost groups section. I gotta get in on it though because I totally love Ana Lucia!

My favorite moments so far:
Her confrontation with Goodwin. I love that she hid his true identity from the other tailies in order to protect their already fragile sense of security.
Her conversation with Sayid about being dead already. Her reaction to the kids being taken shows she obviously isn't.
Her reunion with Jack. The bizarre circumstances surrounding it made it so interesting. Jack doesn't have to be a leader when he's around AL and she doesn't have to be either.

I know tons of people can't stand the character but explosive things happen when she's around and I completely love it!

Oh and I love the theme song too :)

I agree...Those where truely beautiful momments. I think her character is so colorful and full of layers. I like her chemistry between Jack. They seem to have an interesting an energy between them.

I also love how she is in her interactions with Sawyer. She doesn't take any guff from him, she stands right up to him, and I think he kinda digs that, even though he'd never let her see that. I think they would be an excellent couple and really good for each other, as Sawyer needs a woman who is his equal in strength, chutzpah and intensity and Ana needs the same thing. Sawyer is a very intelligent guy, too, though he kinda doesn't realize it himself or show it, as he probably feels it would somehow make him vulnerable. But have you noticed how voraciously he reads (of course, there isn't a heck of a lot to DO on Lostaway Isle *lol*), and how his sarcastic retorts are usually very intelligent and insightful? Ana is also extremely intelligent, imho. These two would be perfect for each other. I've talked myself into it!

Anyway, I think their scenes are some of my fave Ana moments thus far.

I also fell in love with her acting the moment she said "Flight 815?" in the pit, as the look on her face spoke volumes! It was so realistic, so authentic, I realized at that moment: we've got a great actress on our hands here.

As for the most moving Ana moment so far, that would have to, have to, HAVE TO be that last scene in the episode wherein she and Jack come face to face for the first time on the island in the jungle. The look in her eyes! Again, she can convey SO much in her facial expression. That was just utter, utter sadness and grief. Very moving.

It's such a change to be able to say nice things about her without having to "defend" her constantly. I love it here! :heart: :heart: :heart:

:)

I agree, these were all great moments. I especially liked her final confrontation with Goodwin. Really, just any interaction between her and Goodwin (part of this is because I really loved Goodwin. He was eerie. He was also one of the best acted guest characters. You got this sense that he was a very complete person, caring, with quirks and a history, so when you found out that he was an Other it was impressive, but I digress), especially since through her interactions with him Ana Lucia ceased to be this leader figure who had to be forlorn and alienated, as all leaders must be, and turned her into a person who really does want companionship and can joke around and enjoys sharing herself with others.

Her scenes with Jack -- and Jack's reaction to her (think Collision) -- have redeamed the character of Jack for me. In the begining of this season, he was annoying me a bit, but seeing how he is with her made me remember why we liked him in the first place. Even if he is an egotistical *** sometimes, he really does make people feel better. I like seeing Ana with him because she is more natural around him, more willing to just enjoy the preasent instead of being caught between anxieties about the future and the torment of the past (though this is all living really is, isn't it? well, according to one of my English teachers, who argues that humans are incapable of livin in the preasent, but again I digress).

As much as I enjoyed her with Sayid, it leaves a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth because I know that they cannot be buddies, companions, because of the darkness between them. Or, if they are it will take a long time. This is a shame, because they are clearly two people who are capable of having insight into each other, but they won't now, because of poor Shannon. Oh, I love and hate Lost for doing this -- mostly love.

As long as I'm digressing, I would really like to see a scene with Ana, Libby, and Hurley together. I think it was Damon who said that Libby is supposed to be the Hurley of the rail section, the person who is on everyone's side, but they are so different! It's great. I'd like the see them with Ana because 1) I have a feeling that Ana and Hurley would be hilarity wearing bright, bold colors, and 2) because Ana is a person, I think, who analyzes situations and realizes that almost everyone she talks to has their own hidden agenda/issues and concerns (herself included), but Hurley and (by extention) Libby don't, at least not to the degree that Jack does. Because of this they really offer anyone they encounter some really comroderie, and I think Ana Lucia needs some right now.

Peace. :-)

Is it me or is this getting waaay to out of hand:frown:

I'm going to have the AL Armband Brigade moved to Lost Groups/Ships

ETA: Moved it over to Lost Groups (Lost)...I left a forward in the AL It's All Good forum. If any one would like to join, that's the place to look.
Thanks!!

Knowing how important names can be on Lost, I looked up Ana-Lucia, and the results are kind of interesting - Ana ultimately comes from the Hebrew Channah, which meant "favor" or "grace", and Lucia comes from the Roman name Lucius which was derived from the Latin word lux, which means "light". Is that irony or foreshadowing? :D

I was away for a while, I'm so happy that she finally has her own board. So haters can hate her in another secion and I don't have to see it (yay!).
:clapping:

Well, I'll probably still see it but at least there's a place for most of it.

This was definitely by far my favorite AL moment. She didn't run when she figured out who he was. She handed him the knife, cool as can be, and gleaned information from him, completely in control of the situation. I felt so sorry for her when somebody she thought of as a companion turned out to be an enemy. It's surprising she's willing to trust anybody ever considering what she's been through.

I completely agree with you about Goodwin too. Dare I say he was as well written and acted as Desmond, maybe even more? Both came off as so 3 dimensional in such a small amount of time. Completely brilliant!

Hi ALC..You should join the AL Armband Brigade since you are a supporter. It is in the Lost Groups forum

Is it me or is this getting waaay to out of hand:frown:

not so much out fo hand as ..well, pathetic LOL
anyone know if there's a *good* Ana Lucia LJ community?
if not is anyone gonna start one? LOL :)

Wooo huuu!!! Right on!

Wooooh GO ANA (man just a bit over 1 week and im already feelin the no new lost syndrome)

I really like Ana Lucia as well as Michelle Rodriguez as an actress. When the Lost producers/writers thought up her character I am certain Michelle came to mind in the next breath. She is perfect for the character.

The Ana Lucia hate club crack me up. They are so serious and adamant. Imagine getting that worked up over a fictional character. I think it is rather amusing. :biggrin: ROFL!

So true!

Her scenes with Jack -- and Jack's reaction to her (think Collision) -- have redeamed the character of Jack for me.


For me too. In just the very brief little moments of Jack reacting to Ana that we've seen so far, he's far more natural and provocative than usual.

The two actors have good chemistry.

Aren't they a scream though?:21::30:

....Jack reacting to Ana .....The two actors have good chemistry.

I cannot wait to see more scenes of Jack and Ana. They will be powerful I suspect. I agree with you. The chemistry between the two actors jumps out from the screen and grabs you. :smile:

Let's give her more tha a chance... this thread is a place for everyone who likes Ana Lucia to declare their love! Or at least lack of open hostility.

So, come on Ana Lucia lovers! Show you love!

YAY!!!
I was so thrilled to see this wasn't another "I HATE Ana Lucia" thread!
I think that's why they had the writers have in her script to Jack on the beach,
"So, I suppose you want to try to convince me everybody doesn't hate me."
C'mon folks...
It wasn't meant about the islanders entirely,
it was meant for all the flack she's received on these sites!
Poor girl needs a chance and her job after all.
:cool:

I agree, the scenes last season in the airport were the same way. (in regards to her chemistry with Jack)

I remember in Season One there were a lot of people who did not like Sayid because he had been in the Republican Guard, was an Iraqi and tortured Sawyer. A lot of people, including me, did not care for Shannon because she was so selfish and an air head. Then there were a lot of people who did not, and still do not, care for Danielle because she is, according to them, "crazy" and attempted to kidnap Aaron to trade him for her daughter, Alex. However, the ranting against Michelle is far and above worse and more virulent than I have seen in a long time.

The thing is the writers have written Ana Lucia's character knowing full well a lot of people would not like her at first. This is part of their genius to create drama writing strong characters with positive and negative attributes. It is the human condition to not be perfect and that is what we relate to in these characters on Lost. In time the character will change and, hopefully, all the "hate-Ana" people who have not turned into the "hate-Michelle" people, will start to realize she is a heroine who deserves their praise and admiration.

It's just a matter of time. I did not like Shannon either, but I never "hated" her. Hate is a very strong word. The character (which some people forget that is what she is) never did anything to me....since she is a character. So I just didn't like her because I thought she was arrogant and spoiled. I didn't like how she treated Boone, etc. And I did get a bit defensive when she held a gun to my Locke! But towards the end, she grew on me and I grew not to dislike her. Now I would rather see the people who are "Just Not Into You" have a "I don't like Ana Lucia Thread" rather than a Hate thread. Hate is just a strong word for someone, better yet, a fictional character. Just my opinion is all.

I get the feeling a lot of the posters in the Ana Lucia Hate Club are very young and/or are using the thread to articulate their feelings of anger and hostility towards a lot of things not necessarily just the character of AL. It's kind of their therapy group which makes their comments, taken in that context, rather extreme and even more amusing. ROFL!

These are great posts!!! :smile: I couldn't believe it when I started reading a thread that talked about the worst DEATH for this character. People using excuses like "she should die because she is so violent and I hate vilolence." I mean, come on!!!! Anyway, I think the writers are very methodical and brilliant how they introduce characters and initially set you up to feel a certain way about them. After time, you really get a clearer understanding of them. It's like meeting a person for the first time and not judging them till you get to know them.:biggrin:

I thought the same thing. That scene was a reaction to all of the backlash from MR joining the cast. I love it when they throw in little things that work on two levels like that.

I can understand why a lot of people dislike the character. Yes, she lacks Jack's finesse in leading people. And wanting to abandon Sawyer when he was still alive was a selfish idea. Buckling under the pressure in the jungle and shouting when everyone else was under the same pressure was bad. But hate? I kind of thought hate was associated with evil. She's got a lot of weaknesses but she isn't evil.

Anyway, the haters enjoy hating her and that's fine by me. They might change their minds later, they might not. As long as I have this nice place to discuss her without having to defend her all the time I'm happy.

I agree. They get to worked up over it and start being very childish.

Children 'hate', adults rationalise their dislike. Let them 'hate', it's establishes who are the children on this forum.

In all fairness (and I don't like the virulent bashing of Michelle going on in that thread at all), in Season One there were Lost fans who hated Sayid because his character was an Iraqi and former member of the Republican Guard as well as the fact that he tortured Sawyer. Also, in Season One and even now people don't like Danielle because they think she is nuts and tried to kidnap Aaron to give him to the Others in exchange for Alex. Then there are those, myself included, who did not like Shannon because she was such an egotistical, selfish air head and the way she treated Boone. So, in conclusion, despite I am LMAO at the people in the "hate Ana Lucia club" who keep ranting about how much they cannot stand her and that Michelle cannot act, blah, blah, blah, they are entitled to their opinions. Personally I just disagree with them. :smile:

By the way, the PTR on this board appear to be monitoring that thread and have deleted as well as posted warnings to not get too carried away with their statements about Michelle on the board.

She's not someone I would be best friends with (that would be Charlie), but I'm hoping to see her find her own redemption on the island.

:ana-lucia

I love Ana and I'm proud of it. I don't think there is a single character I don't like on Lost, but she is one of my favorites!

I know I agree - I like them all. They all have their own personalities and I think the whole cast is great.

A young hispanic beauty
Who wished to live and serve
Possessed of grace and confidence
Of fortitude and nerve

Protector of the populace
A remedy for strife
Upbeat expectant mother
And soon to be a wife

Brought low by inhumanity
Defeated, nearing death
But something in her persevered
And forced her take a breath

Sometimes through fate’s misfortunes
The strong must stand alone
When dealt a brutal circumstance
Through no fault of their own

How many here among us
No matter what anyone says
Could maintain the righteous dignity
Of Ana-Lucia Cortez

Nice one Sheba!

You poem is wonderful! Perhaps you should submit it to the VIPs and ABC so they can put it on the Lost website. :smile:

Thank you for the compliment, but I can't imagine that ABC would be interested in character poems. :)

Besides ... this is a Lost website and it is here. :biggrin:

How could I have not found this thread sooner? I had no idea there were so many of us! I think AL is easily one of the most interesting characters we have seen, and I think it's just going to get better. Exceptional acting on Michelle's part in several scenes, and there are sooo many places to take her character. Another stroke of genius by TPTB, even if we're the only ones who recognize it!

So what are you favorite AL scenes so far? Who (if anybody) would you like to see her hook up with either as a friend or romantically?

She belongs with Jack (cause Kate and Sawyer belong together).

My favorite AL scene is still her flirting with Jack at the air port. I just thought it was great to see MR as a flirt.

So what are you favorite AL scenes so far? Who (if anybody) would you like to see her hook up with either as a friend or romantically?

My favorite AL scenes are
1) Ana Lucia and Goodwin's chat in the jungle. The one when she outs him as an Other. It was fantastic.
2) AL and Jack on the beach in What Kate Did. Excellent scene. I love the interactions between those two. They have a great on screen chemistry.

I would love to see more of Ana Lucia and Jack, friends or otherwise. I think Sawyer and Ana Lucia scenes would be hilarious, especially since he's not so disabled (well, he won't be) and she's not completely in control. I would like to see how Ana reacts to being around Claire and Sun, who seem to me to be very much opposite of her -- especially Sun, because I'd like to imagine Sun has a bit of a grudge against her thanks to her treatment of Jin. Angy Sun? It could be cool. I would love to see her, Libby, and Hurley together. They are so easy-going compared to her -- she's tense. Charlie, because I think she will verbally deflate him. Locke, because it will be plain interesting to see what she makes of him. Basicly, I'm eager to see her with anyone we haven't see her with yet.

My favorite scenes have been the airport, the conversation with Goodwin before she offed him, and the scene with Jack on the beach. I personally would rather see her with Jack because I think Sawyer & Kate are better suited for each other.

I completely agree. Kate & Sawyer and AL & Jack feels more natural. And like Arcadia I can't wait to see what happens when AL meets each of our losties. I'm especially anxious for her conversations with Locke and Hurley.

Right now I'm not sure if she'll be friends with anyone except Jack because of Shannon. But Sawyer seems like the best bet because he was also an outcast and he's got guilt from killing someone accidentally (I know he intended to kill and hers was accidental but you know what I mean). I don't see AL and Sawyer being anything but buds but it would be great for stirring up the quadrangle.

I read this on another thread (don't know if it's been brought up here yet): consider how empathetic Jack will probably be if Jack finds out about Ana's lost pregnancy.

Remember, that the (as yet unidentified) patient who died in Christian's operating room was pregnant. And we still don't know if there is something extremely personal in his past regarding pregnancy and children. Or it could even be that the spinal patient he lost was pregnant. All just more speculation, of course.

Right, but how will Jack feel when he finds out about her retribution? An accidental shooting is one thing. Cold blooded murder is entirely different. Actually, it's interesting that Kate and Ana have both perpetrated premeditated murder. It would have made it easier for Jack to choose between the two if only one was a murderer. :rolleyes:

And at the rate the Losties seem to be sharing information with each other about their recent Island-pasts, it might be a long time (if ever) before they share information about their pre-Island-pasts.:biggrin:

Ana and Jack definitely have chemistry. But so do Ana and Sawyer and it would tickle me to death to see Sawyer dominated for a little while. That might make for some of the funniest Sawyer lines yet!

As for Michelle Rodriguez....she's the only woman my husband thinks is hot that I don't want to smack her....lol. The weird thing is...I understand why he does. She is one tough beautiful lady. Cheers to everyone who likes complicated characters like Ana Lucia....because of people like us maybe television will stop using the same old formulas .... and be less boring as a result.

Happy holidays to all!!!

At the moment I'm undecided on which way I'd like to see the Ana Shippy Possibilities go. Well, that's not true. I'm sort of Anti-Jack/Ana. I just can't decide if I'm pro-Sawyer/Ana yet. Mostly, right now, I'm interested in seeing Ana just...make some friends. Become a little less isolated. I mean, I guess she has Jack and Eko...

Which reminds me- I've been wondering about this. Do you think Ana-Lucia's kind of ticked at Bernard and Libby right now? For leaving, you know? She didn't seem upset with Ek or anything (of course he did save her from Cowboy Jack's Posse. But she might not know that.)

I am so glad to see that I am not a complete crazy person in loving this character!! Everyone tends to bash her and I don't see why. Also I LOVE the idea of a Jack/Ana pairing!! So guys & gals, count me in as a fan too!

I think Jack and Anna would be hot together. They are so different but there is something so emotional about the two that seems magnetic. They both sort of wear their emotions on their sleaves & it would be exciting to see what happens between the two.

Is it me or is this getting waaay to out of hand:frown:

That is awful!! Everyone is entitled to their opinion and everything, but there isn't any need to be so hateful.

See now, these people didn't have their pampers changed enough when they where babies. If only they got more huggs!:biggrin:

Ana love... i dont see why shes hated so.. glad she can finallyt get some respect

Hello! Ana lover here. I'm not afraid of the "haters." OK maybe a little. *shutter*

Happiest New Year !!!!!!

:D

Big Fan. Ana Lucia is an interesting foil to Jack's brand of leadership. Her having killed in her backstory and now on the island props up my not quite figured out, Purgatory/redemption theory.

I LOVE Ana-Lucia and think she is the best addition to the cast! I am glad she is here to stay! And forget about the haters! That sucks for them that they are hating such an awesome character who is gonna have lots of screentime! :D

I'm completely new to this posting thing, although I did join the board back in Oct. 2005, this is my first official day of posting, and I just want to say how happy I am that there is this thread.
I couldn't help but wonder why all this "hate" was directed towards Ana Lucia, who is a fictional character by the way, anyway, all I kept seeing is "she's ruining the show" or "she needs to die", or "if she gets with Sawyer of Jack I'll stop watching the show" I could not understand it (still don't by the way).
I liked her character from the airport scene, and I was totally surprised to see that they made her out into this really tough woman, who doesn't take any BS, she was so refreshing, and adds to the dynamic, and she is entirely bad a**.

So, yeah, add me to the Ana Lucia fan club, I can't wait to see where her character is going :biggrin:

Welcome to the Fuse PeanutButter4ever and kid_Amy! More Ana fans are always welcome. :grin:

I'm always so happy to see more Ana fans appear on the Fuselage!!! .:jump:

Ana rocks! Plain and simple. :D The only reason people don't like her is because she'll break up either J/K or S/K. That's no reason to 'hate' her and say she needs to die!

People have to get over it! She's on the show now!! And I am so glad! :D

Stop hoarding all the men Kate. Geez!! Ana needs a little lovin too.

Ana needs a little lovin too.
Actually she really does. Her character is so full of pain covered up by anger and walls. I hope we get another backstory and that it will go back to her childhood. I got the impression that her mother was pretty domineering and controlling. And we don't know anything about her father yet.


I read a spoiler that there may be upcoming tension with Ana and Kate...that should get interesting!

Ana has been through a lot and is still a pretty strong leader...I know that she showed moments of weakness and poor decision making. I still think she's allright.

I can't wait to see Ana get some lovin either. It sucks so bad that the first person she made a connection with on the island turned out to be the enemy. :frown: I've been busily scanning all the spoilers though and it looks like she's going to have at least some good times soon.

Trend carefully with any spoiler discussions. Thanks! :)

I figured that was a general enough statement not to warrant spoiler fonting. But I'll be more cautious in the future. :smile:

That's ok. I usually like to stay as clueless as possible about upcoming episodes. Even something as general as that. Not a big deal. :grin:

Just thought I would add my two cents in here, Ana Lucia needs all the support she can get! Whoo hoo! Yeah for Ana!

Just read this bit about Ana and the "lovin"on spoilerfix.com (http://www.spoilerfix.com)

She is a woman; she will have romantic entanglements. But I think the one that will begin to emerge over the season will be the one that you least expect.--Lindeloff and Cuse

What about Jin and Sun giving Ana the Fish tonight? Why do you think Jin took that first step? I'm not really sure why myself.

I think the Jin,Sun scene was good but it looks like where gonna need a whole episode for people in this board to like her.(We have already had 2 episodes for that to happen though:ohwell: )

What about Jin and Sun giving Ana the Fish tonight? Why do you think Jin took that first step? I'm not really sure why myself.

I thought it was out of appreciation in helping to reunite them.

I thought that thing with giving Ana the fish was a bit silly and Christmasy. You can't turn a character like her "likeable" overnight. You gotta redeem her, move her from antagonist to anti-hero to antagonistic protagonist (which she is already, but anyway) But yeah, she'll need a few more eps. A fish certainly won't do.:rolleyes:

Meanwhile, another Ana centric fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2741778/1/) i did awhile ago. Yeah, I've been bored, so I'm writing the eps that haven't been written yet. :p Enjoy...

Ana Lucia has a strong personality. That may be tough for some people to handle. She's a female mirror (personality-wise) of Sawyer and a great addition to the cast. Without her I may have lost interest in the dynamics of the 'other survivors.' Why would others 'dis' her? Well.....perhaps they expect all greatness in character to be wrapped in a candy-like exterior. Ana Lucia is, of course, great looking but that is due, in part, to her fabulous inner strength AND humour. She has a great subtle wit for those who make the effort to notice her body language. -Caligo.

Yep. She's hilarious alright. Yeah, she is a lot like Sawyer - especially when he was being all unlikable. Insufferable. Annoying little bugger...to the point of popping his head like a peanut...

Oops, where was I? :p

I felt the same way when I saw it. But after reading PhillyGirl's post about thinking it was out of appreciation for reuniting them I I tend to agree. I can buy Jin not hating her because he's been nasty to people himself and can probably empathize a bit more than some others on the island. And her actions (even though she was harsh and whatnot) did lead to his reunion with Sun which must be more important than anything to him.

So I think this was just a first step in slowly moving her role on the show. I don't think she'll be as crazy on this side of the island because the immediate danger and constant stress is gone. So the people who've just met her might get a very different first impression of her. Shannon's death will probably still linger over here though no matter that it was an accident.

I felt the same way when I saw it. But after reading PhillyGirl's post about thinking it was out of appreciation for reuniting them I I tend to agree.

:blushing: Aww! Shucks. Thanks!

Hey Ana supporter's! :D

I can't wait for more Ana in the next episode and ESPECIALLY in eppy 12!! :D

I thought it was out of appreciation in helping to reunite them.
Oh yes, that's true. She was a catalyst in that. Also, fish represent prosperity, so here's to good things on the other side of the island! :biggrin:

You can count me in as someone who appreciates Ana Lucia's character. Everyone on this island has their moments of doing something that we viewers find unlikable--and yet, somehow we eventually begin to accept them. I have a feeling that soon there will be plenty more viewers coming over to this thread. :smile:

When it will happen we do not know.:undecide:

It seems like the Losties are starting to accept her and bury the hatchet so maybe the fans will too. That scene with Jin and Sun coming up to her was a pleasant surprise.

Yep...and the previous epi with Jack...so she has those 3 and Eko...

Yeah, Jack and Ana have good energy together on screen. And even with Ana's breakdown Eko has still tried to reach out to her, he's been there for her the most. It'll be interesting to see what new friendships she creates.

Speaking of friendships, who thinks Spoiler for "Hunting Party" Sayid and Ana could team up in possibly going commando if everyone decides to train for battle? Sayid seems to know Ana - or at least her mindset, pretty well. It'd be interesting to see if the two can cope, or be-friend - or clash egos.

This is gonna rock!! I hope...:biggrin:

Hi all,

It's my first post on the fuselage and I wanted to use it to say that I have recently been converted from a hater to a lover of Ana. When Jack asked her how long it would take to build an army, I got chills just thinking about how brilliant it would be with Ana on the front lines leading a full on attack against the others!:D

Jeremy

Sorry those that read my post without the spoiler thing, i didnt realize until after i posted it! :frown:

I did too! Isn't it just an awesome idea?? All the pretty guns....oops, getting off track. :p

Welcome, btw! Glad to see you've got an open mind! :biggrin:

I think if the writers slowly integrate Ana into the core group, she could be completely re-evaluated by the fans, much like Sawyer. I find her an asset to the future success of our castaways in their fight against the others.

Absolutely.

And I, for one, happen to think that Ana and Jack compliment each other nicely. They are both very strong willed and leader-types. I'm looking forward to the jungle romance as the work out a plan of attack!!:smile:

I can't wait to see her as Right Hand ***** myself, Jer. I want to see Jack and Ana hold hands as they mow down, as Jin would say, some Utters.

***mod edit--see my other note to you below. thanks.

Ana's gonna start an army and whoop some ghetto Other ***:biggrin:

oooooooooooh!!! I love the idea of Ana and Jack holding hands and kicking butt!!! :biggrin: :biggrin:

Speculating...
Maybe Aaron will be taken by the Others (or Charlie) in Fire + Water, and Ana will rescue him? Promo photos at lost-media...but mostly speculation.

That would get alot of people to Ana's side. I hope what you said comes true TabbyRasa

I don't have a problem with her - I'm on her side!

I'm not so much a fan of her persona, but I really like the effects that she is having on those people around her. She has challenged Sawyer and Sayid. She has perplexed and pushed Mr. Eko. She is a peer to Jack (which he doesn't seem to have enough of). She has upped the hostility level on the island, which I don't see as good for the Losties, but I see as quite exciting for the show. Plus, having seen her backstory I think I know a lot of where her frontstory is going and I and I can foresee much entertainment. I really feel that Lost needed another antagonist and having someone that evokes so much vitriol is a good way of doing it. Yup, I like her character a lot. She's up there with Locke, Eko, and Hurley for me. :)

I like her ok. She's someone interesting to throw into the mix. I'm just very curious to see her interaction with Kate - which they haven't touched on yet. It should be good!:argue:

Amen. I can't wait to see them fight.

We do know something about Ana's dad: He's dead, or I assume he is after Ana's conversation with Jack in the Airport Bar.
By the way I adore the freshness of Ana's character, i love the montages Ana is involved in too - the 23rd Psalm montage is perhaps my favourite one yet.

Passport: Could you remind me what she said in the airport that gave you that impression? I am drawing a total blank on the specifics of that particular conversation other than her seat in the tail section.

And for whoever made the note about Sayid and Ana going commando on the last page, I literally sat here for a minute and wondered what underwear had to do with it. *headdesk*

Ana says as a parting shot:
ANA LUCIA: And, Jack ...

(Jack turns and looks at her.)

ANA LUCIA: The worst part's over.

I just adore Ana.

I hadn't thought about that line like that. Certainly plausible - her dad seems to be out of the picture at least by her Collision flashbacks. And I'd say she falls into the cowboy category, so it would follow that there's a story with her father. Interesting. They could have just as easily been words of encouragement based on nothing, but what fun would that be?

:laugh:

Passport - I guess she could be referring to a simililar situation with her own father, but that statement is kind of vague. I wouldn't assume she was talking about her dad, but it could be possible.

It might have to tie in with her past. I guess we will see sometime.:ohwell:

It is the way Ana conducts herself during the flashback which emphasised the lines for me. Ana seems playful and flirtacious in the flashback until she receives the phone call. Yet as soon as she holds the call, she is much more serious and sincere.
Maybe I took it to mean too much. However we don't know that Ana's dad is out of the picture because "Collision" was flashbacks of her first day back at the police. Maybe Ana's dad just doesn't work there.
Also anyone notice Ana's costume change - she was wearing white in the airport and black in "The Other 48 Days"

It could have to do with her mood or her feelings:confused:

I'll appreciate her if she gets Jack away from Kate! I'm all for Jack/Ana and Sawyer/Kate!

I like Ana-Lucia...
a) because I am her personality type. Not such a good thing, I know.
b) the emotion that ana-lucia has inside her is explosive.

Ana can add a few twists...

I like Ana, and Michelle as well. I think she is very different from all the other actresses out there. And a plus of living on the east coast, New Jersey specifically, is that she lives in less than an hour away! :)

It looks like Lost is sort of taming down her character, which is fine by me. Oh I'm sure we will see her on tonight! Acually, I hope we do see her! :biggrin:

"Are you hittin that?" OMG, so what I would have said. That girl kills me.

Ahh the love quadrangle.

Actully, while I was laughing at that I was think. "The people that hate her are just going to say that she's crude." :laugh: I liked the Ana interaction tonight. More, ana, we need more ana.

So true and they did. Sawyer can use ephemisms like "dropping a load in".... WTF... and that's sexy but "you hittin that" is "trashy." Whatever people.

AMEN!!!

I like her chemistry with Jack. I think she will be an interesting character in the future. If you noticed, after Wednesday night's episode, a lot more people liked her comment than offended by it. Score for Ana!

We do know something about Ana's dad: He's dead, or I assume he is after Ana's conversation with Jack in the Airport Bar.That's what I thought too until we saw Collision. Then I figured she was probably referring to the loss of her child. ... but I could be wrong. :biggrin:

That's what I was thinking too. I'm not sure what happened to her dad but I thought since she lost her child that's what she meant by that line.

I'm glad she will be on more. That next episode preview looked good.

lol i never even clicked that the child might be the "focus" of that line.
Thanks for pointing it out :)

I'm not positive yet, but I'm pretty sure I will like Ana Lucia quite a bit. At least sure enough to make my first real post on these boards to this particular thread...

Welcome to the 'Lage, jenniestarrish!!!
:clapping::jump1: :clap:

Ana Lucia is a wonderful character. She is a strong independent woman who doesn't take crap! That is awesome, there need to be more strong characters like this one on TV. I think the reason so many people do not care for this character is for what she did to Sawyer, Michael, & Jin. But the fact is her and the rest of the tailies got people coming in the middle of the night snatching them up, they have some guy acting like he was from the plane crash living among them, plus hello they survived a freaking plane crash. Gee I do not know about anybody else but if I had been through all that I think I would have done been the looney bin. So for the character Ana Lucia to show how she took that take charge attitude during a crisis was awesome. Sure she may come across as not caring at times, but considering the stress of trying to figure out where the heck you are and how to keep everyone alive, I think she did a darn fine job! So count me in the I LIKE ANA LUCIA GROUP.

I do too like Ana Lucia. She's my favorite female character cause she is strong and smart, plus she doesn't take crap from anyone. I hope and wish they don't kill this character.

As much as I love of the possiblities of her character on the show I'm starting to get worried her actions off the show might get her in big trouble.

:p

Exactly. They need to give her some more backstories that show why she was so hard. Maybe her father always wanted a boy or something and demanded AL be overly aggressive to compensate for his lack of having a boy?

I'm just hoping they don't just kill her off to get rid of all of the complaining..I honestly don't get why people hate her so much..sure she's a bit annoying but I love that on this show you get the first impression and then watch that get blown out of the water the more info that comes along...looking forward to what the writers are gonna do with her...

I doubt they will.

I don't think that LOST would be the same without her...so I am crossing my fingers that Ana-Lucia stays on the show until the Finale (hehe). She adds a lot of spice and conflict and has so much potential for growth that it could be really fascinating to watch it unfold. I don't even care if they make her a dark character/villainess or redeemed saint...I think the writers know what they're doing.

I'm practically certain that the writer's must love Ana Lucia and her potential too much to ever kill her off, despite all the complaints. At least judging by articles and stuff. I could care less about the haters. :)

And I agree that she is an explosive character who is strong and doesn't take any crap. Those are JUST the kinds of characters we need on TV more often.

I like Ana Lucia. :biggrin:

Loving Ana Lucia. I'm tired of the AL bashing . . . allow some of us to have a strong female character! The haters are so interesting to me . . . I think she threatens them to the core of their soul.

Exactly. They need to give her some more backstories that show why she was so hard.

I think that the writers had made it very clear why she was hard in both "The Other 48 Days" and "Collision". Don't get me wrong. I would also like to see more back stories. But I do believe that her mental state on the island was perfectly explained the previously mentioned episodes.

She is not too bad as a different hard edged female character, could have done without the Hittin it line but that is modern slang, it just reminds me of what a teenager would say. Looks like the current rumor is

The writers are going to kill her off sooner then later.

And that's exactly what it is . . . a rumor. The media . . . or should I say US WEEKLY are only cashing in on the recent hostility toward the Ana-Lucia character and Michelle Rodriguez's recent brush with the law. The media really sickens me, sometimes.

The "Are you hittin' that?" line didn't bother me at all. And I just don't understand why it bothered others.

Loving Ana Lucia. I'm tired of the AL bashing . . . allow some of us to have a strong female character! The haters are so interesting to me . . . I think she threatens them to the core of their soul.

I agree, I didn't like her much at first, but now I do and I hope they keep her around on the show.

to my mind the writers have introduced two very interesting female characters, particularly well. Ana is the in-your-face character LOST, and most other TV shows, lacked. She is a credit to the writers, for introducing a character that would inspire a negative reaction in viewers.
I think we need to see what fashioned Ana into the darkly stubborn character we have today, personally I think Ana is hiding something very close to her heart and the bullishness is a facade.

The only good thing about her is she kicks Sawyer's a** from time to time. Some more fun on his part thataways.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I really like AL; I think they've done a great job so far in making her a complex, three-dimensional character whose brash external armor is obviously hiding some pain (much of which we know). To me, she can be difficult and frustrating but never a genuine b*tch.

Just chiming in with more positive vibes about Ana-Lucia...I hope she's in tonight's episode (The Long Con)...


Hopefully the preview scene "you people aren't afraid" is from this epi!!! Previews can be misleading!

I hear ya Tabby!! LOL promos can be very misleading.

Ana was ace in tonights eppy, I'm glad that she had a more prominent role amongst the survivors. The other thing I am quite happy about is that Shannon's death finally had repercussions for her other than: I'm not going to speak to you cos you shot Shannon.
I couldn't help but feel that Locke was rubbing in the whole accidental shooting thing "we are more likely to shoot one another".
The other thing I'm surprised about is that after "The Long Con" she doesn't have more fans :(

Matt

Where did you get that idea? I've been reading some reactions to Ana's part in "The Long Con". I don't get the feeling that she no longer has fans.

She DOES mix things up and for that alone I gotta like that they have added her..plus it is going to be just too much fun watching her and Kate battle for queen of the island..

Ana-Lucia shouldn't get a bad rap for being cautious/realistic about their position.

Lol. 'Queen of the island'. That'd be a fun thing to see. Ana-Lucia vs Kate.....

Who you guys think would win in a fight? *laughs at the thought*

Ana-Lucia would beat her like a gong.

Arcania, you need to edit your first post and make the thumbs up again. There was a glitch.

OP hasn't been on for a few weeks so I'll try and see if I can fix it.

OK, is good now but Karri might be making more fixes, so lemme know if it flips back.

Thanks! I'll let you know.

Ana-Lucia would beat her like a gong.
beat her like a gong..tee hee

As much as I like Kate and she does have those arms I think that AL would win, I mean she managed to kill goodwin bare handed..

Ana-Lucia shouldn't get a bad rap for being cautious/realistic about their position.

All Ana-Lucia has to do is open her mouth and the bashers will find some reason to criticize her.:cool:

I'm not sure she'd even have to do that much!

I think ana lucia is a very interesting character, her backstory seems to be good aswell, i think when she shot shannon she looked sorry and remorsefull when she staggered out from the trees, i dont see why the other islanders have put her to one side and dont really talk to her, same as the fans, noone blamed locke when boone died (well not for long) but ana bears the grunt of all the anger, its not really fair, we've seen how hard they had it over the otherside of the island but people still seem to dislike her, i dont know why.

Congratulations to Michelle Rodriguez for earning a Best Supporting Actress nomination for the Saturn Awards (along with Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, AAA, and Terry O'Quinn).

Nice exchange b/t Ana and Sayid in "One of Them."

i havent seen her in it yet but i think ana lucia will be grrrrrrreeat in lost because she is played by michelle rodriguez and she is a great actress

It's interesting that Ana-Lucia is the only castaway who could have gotten "the drop", so to speak, on Danielle.

I wanna know what in the heck Ana is doing with her time? She is reminding me of Locke when he went wandering around in the jungle by himself. Something happened to Locke out there and I don't know if I want it happening to Ana.

I think she's laying low to assimilate into the group after being shunned after Shannon's death. She's also not used to taking a submissive role and is probably chomping at the bit to get armed and go after the Others to find the children. She promised Emma that she would get her back to her mom and she takes that promise seriously. Oh, and she's working on the army with Jack.

Ana fans, answer me this....why is it that EVERY scene this chick is in is considered the writers "shoving her down our throats" to the haters. That mentality is "lost" on me....she's a character....deal with it. I happen to like her. I happen to strongly dislike Kate lately, but everytime they show her I don't change the channel or claim "there's no reason for her in that scene"! That kind of talk makes ZERO sense to me. She was in the scene b/c they wanted her in the scene, not b/c they were trying to prove something to the small batch of Ana-haters lol. These people give themselves WAAAAAY too much credit. It's sad really....it's she's on the show, just deal with it people lol. It doesn't matter what she does or says or doesn't do, it's all "forced" and "fake" and "shoved for no reason" to these people....and I just do NOT understand that thought process AT ALL. It makes NO sense....she's a character on a fictional show....she's supposed to be there so stop griping everytime she graces the screen. In my opinion, they should consider themselves lucky b/c she's so damn cool. ;) But seriously, there's plenty of people I don't like but I don't act like everytime they are on screen the producers are trying to prove something....*rolls eyes*

....but ANYWAY, I for one am ecstatic that she was in 2x14 even for a sec considering hardly anyone else was in that ep....that rules. And so does she.

ANA LUCIA=COOL

Ana fans, answer me this....why is it that EVERY scene this chick is in is considered the writers "shoving her down our throats" to the haters. That mentality is "lost" on me....she's a character....deal with it. I happen to like her.

If I had any answers for you I would give them. I have given up trying to figure out the Power behind the AL hate. I don't have as much energy to comit to the characters I love as the haters do to hating AL. We know AL is the "bombdiggity" that's all that matters.

Ha. Nice wordage, me likey! :D

Ha. Nice wordage, me likey! :D

:biggrin: Thanks. Does that wordage make me sound old? :rolleyes:

Naw, just a little stuck in the early nineties that's all. Just put down the nano pet, take off the Air Jordans and everything will be ok. :D

I have to agree with you guys. I was trying to understand why people hate AL so much, in the beginning, but now I'm just tired of it all. Some people (even some I consider my Fusie friends) really, really hate her with a passion and I just can't understand why. :ohwell: To each their own I guess. I don't understand putting that much effort into a character on a TV show. I'm a MR fan and a AL fan. There are characters I like (Sawyer), characters I'm not that into (Jack), and characters that go back and forth between the two (Charlie), but none of them have ruled me and my life or changed my enjoyment of the show.

One newspaper writer may have targeted the reason behind the dislike toward Ana-Lucia - unlike other female characters like Kate, Sun and Claire, Ana is beautiful but not cute. She simply doesn't subscribe to the image of how many feel that a strong woman should be. She comes off as being too strong and assertive. I know I have posted this several times on the forum . . . and my posts have been dismissed. Yet, everytime I read a rant against Ana-Lucia, I continue to find complaints against her assertive personality . . . and the fact that she had killed Shannon. They seemed more willing to castigate her for that act, instead of her murder of Jason. Very strange.

Yeah, I've read that too and I think that may be part of it, but I also feel that part of the Ana-hate has to do with perception. We didn't get to like her before she hit Sawyer and kill Shannon. But then again, some people hated her from her first encounter with Jack in the airport.

Hey now. Are you in my closet?

(Jordan's? couldn't afford those in the early 90's)

I also say "groovy" and "diggin" what does that say about me?

LOL. I said something similar to that in a "hate thread" and I got no response. Hmmm... interesting. Of course I said that to the "haters" so..... was that "flaming?" :lipsseal:

I'm with you guys on this one. I don't get fiery, passionate character hate. Period.

I do not understand how people can find all that energy to waste spewing venom at fictional characters. I don't hate any of them. I don't care about some of the losties, but that doesn't mean I'm going to screech ferociously in 15 different "I Hate Jack Because He Sucks And I Hate Him!!!11!!" threads. I don't have that kind of time of my hands.

I think one of the main reasons why I became genuinely interested in Ana's character is that I knew she was going to get the special fandom treatment reserved for tough women. I'm a fangirl (and I'll squee if I want to :biggrin: ), so I kinda understand obsessing over a character and pouring love and good feelings on them, but I don't think I'll ever understand the need to hate a fictional guy/girl.

Hey, has anyone noticed that our theread only has three stars? If you are an Ana Appreciator, make sure to rate our thread. I have a feeling some Ana haters may have rated out thread low. :ohwell:

That's just the fans projecting their emotions into fictional characters. It's a little disturbing, yes, but . . . what can I say?

I think Ana Lucia is lovely and her smile lights up my life.:heart:

There are some Ana-Lucia fans that are beginning to complain about the down-sizing of her character. In a way, I don't blame them.

Hey PhillyGirl2873!

But that subforum is like locked or not active or something. ???

P.S. Can I just say the haters are all rooting for Henry to either kill or totally trick Ana and make her look stupid....here's to hoping she ultimately figures out the truth about Henry...that'll show everyone. Ana rules baby, she's a smart cookie. I don't get why the haters don't just hate they make things up....there's no valid reasons shown on the show to judge Ana as being an idiot or uneducated as the haters would like people to believe. *shakes head* Come off it already people....Ana's gonna figure that creep out, and when she does it'll make Jack, Locke, Eko, Sayid, and the haters all look pretty darn foolish. :D And even if she's wrong then she's no more wrong than they are.

Though....I'm sure no one will think that since there's an incredibly rediculous double standard where Ana is concerned. Other characters kill out of cold blood and they are liked, Ana kills by accident or revenge and she's evil. Other people regularly make mistakes that cause SERIOUS damage they are still liked, Ana screws up twice and is called a dumbarse. Others are intentionally sadistic or cruel or plotting and they are still defended....Ana does her best to protect and save lives and yet she is called "selfish" and "evil". MR gives the best perforance of a female on that show (tied with Yun-Jin of course) and haters say she's horrid. I just don't get the refusal to accept reality. Hey, I dislike Sawyer right now and Locke too but I totally see the purpose of them and I appreciate the point of their existance and I see both their positives AND negatives. I happen to like Evi but I don't think she can....well, nevermind I don't want to actor bash, b/c I won't stoop to their level (though mine is constructive critism based on the fact that I study actors like a hawk rather than my own personal distaste for someone)....I strongly dislike Kate now too but I'm not flat out cruel about it. It's all just so silly and hypocritical. *sigh* To me, Ana is one of the smartest people on the island based on ACTUAL things we've seen from the show that far outweigh her whole two mistakes and sometimes harsh attitude. Apparently though Ana is the only person not allowed to make a mistake EVER, without having people hope for her horrifically sadistic death. Most others have done much worse than she and unlike her haven't saved or helped or protected anyone to boot....so explain to me how that works then? When you REALLY get down to comparing actual show footage/scenes....Ana exceeds almost all of them in survival skills, intelligence, instinct, selflessness, and bravery. Yet all haters see is the one time she snaps at someone or the one horrible mistake she makes. I just do not and will not ever understand it.

Sorry, I just needed to ramble. :D

No need to appologize, that was a fantastic ramble :smile:

I don't think anyone can explain the phenomenon. Like I've said, I don't particularly dislike any of the characters (Vincent is a little creepy, but hey...), but there are some for whom I feel nothing but indifference, unless they're instrumental for the plot at one point or another. I refuse to go commando on them just because I can and I need a scapegoat to make my favorite characters look better. I think that's what it basically comes down to. X does something stupid/cruel in one episode? But... but... LOOK! Y sucks so much more! :rolleyes:

Cool site BTW, I've checked it out a few times.

I really like your website Controversleigh!

I missed Ana in Maternity Leave, but I am sure she will be featured more in the upcoming episodes...
Who thinks Ana Lucia will get another flashback this year?

I missed Ana in Maternity Leave, but I am sure she will be featured more in the upcoming episodes... definitely in the next episode :biggrin:

Who thinks Ana Lucia will get another flashback this year? atm I don't think she'll get another one, and if I had to choose I'd go for a Libby FB rather than a second for Ana. but I hope that it is true that we'll find out this season why Ana was in Australia.

we know the next ep is Jin/Sun, then Locke, then Hurley - then I would think Libby. leaves three FBs - I would think that Kate and Jack each get another one, and my thoughts for the third FB are on Michael, because I think that he is the one who leaves, and if this should be true I think it is likely that he'd get another one

Who thinks Ana Lucia will get another flashback this year?

I don't know if there are enough episodes left in the season, taking into account what we already know about upcoming eps. I guess I should have been more specific when I asked Raggs about Ana and her reason for boarding the plane. He said that we will get an answer for that this season. Now, TPTB have also promissed that we'll find out why the plane crashed, so I guess that's the big story for the finale/last 2 episodes. They may tie in Ana's Australian adventure with that storyline, though I don't know if it means a flashback per se or another airport scene.

Whatever it is, I'm willing to bet there's a connection with another castaway. At first, I was convinced that it had something to do with Christian Shephard (well, ok, that was mostly wishful thinking bc I want to see more of him), but I'm not so sure anymore. It seems like a lot of characters were looking for someone or following someone in Oz: Jack&Christian, Boone&Shannon, the Marshall&Kate, Michael&Walt, creepy mob dude&Jin. We don't know when Ana stopped being a cop, but she could have been working as a PI.

What do you think she was doing in Australia? Come on... we've got three weeks to kill. :wallbash:

Ooooh perhaps she was a PI for Boone's dad to try and catch Shannon in the act for a charge of conning? (maybe?) something to do with Shannon and Boone...

Although I don't know how we could know the plane crashed without something strange like a Cindy flashback for example, to show us how it crashed.

I'd rather Ana Lucia than Kate lol

Hey everybody...heads up!!! Our girl will be appearing on Jay Leno Wednesday night...AND on Ellen DeGeneres on Friday morning!!!

:toot:

I find it very interesting that many of the fans seem more inclined to rant against Ana-Lucia's accidental shooting of Shannon than of her murder of Jason McCormack. Yet, at the same time, many fans are willing to excuse Charlie's murder of Ethan, or Kate's murder of her father Wayne.

I think that the episode, "One of Them" is a reflection of a mindset that many of the fans are either drifting into or allowing to be expressed . . . especially since Shannon's death.

It doesn't matter that Ana-Lucia's shooting of Shannon was accidental. The main gist to most fans is that she had killed one of the castaways - someone they consider as "one of us". Whereas Charlie's actions are excused because he had killed a villain. It doesn't matter that Charlie had committed cold-blooded murder or that he had killed Ethan when the latter was down and barely able to defend himself. Ethan was an "other" . . . or "one of them". As for Kate, many believe that she was justified in killing Wayne, because they believe that she had been molested by him (without any hard evidence). Since Kate is "one of us" and is only guilty of killing someone who is not a Lostaway and was presented in a negative light, her act of murder is justified.

The gist is of the two deaths are not the circumstances surrounding the incidents, but who was killed. And that only seemed to matter to many of the fans. So, like the Lostaways, many fans are developing or have embraced a "us against them" mentality regarding the characters. I wonder if the producers had deliberately planned to expose this, when they had Ana-Lucia kill Shannon in "Abandoned".

I'm joining the party late, but I like Ana. And I think Michelle Rodriguez is perfectly adequate in the role. Ana's a street cop from L.A., not Madame Curie.

I'm wondering if Ana's babydaddy ended up in Australia somehow and she followed him, hoping to work things out.

I wonder if the producers had deliberately planned to expose this, when they had Ana-Lucia kill Shannon in "Abandoned". that's a good observation, and I thought about that too, because I wouldn't blame her for Shannon's death, imo it was really an accident, it was just the outcome of tragical circumstances. but I blame her for shooting Jason, because it was an act out of pure revenge, although she had the possibility to judge him in a legal way. I can understand her feelings, but I honestly can't understand this action. and I can understand when people don't like her because she did this (Jason).
what I really want to know is what happened to her after that? I know that she WAS a cop, but I think that if she would've been found guilty she would've gone to jail for years, right?
so I really want to know the rest her story

Personally, I have a deep suspicion that her mother may have played a part on what happened to her, following Jason's death.

Check me out the latecomer...

The gurl got edge.
She's sassy.And I can't wait until she lashes out her frustration on those damn Others.

I'd rather Ana Lucia than Kate lol

Yes! What's with her anyway? :biggrin: I think Kate's falling apart from The Doctor because of LuLu, and it's great...I hope that TPTB does something to turn every I'm-Just-Not-That-Into-You-Ana-Lucia-Lost-Fan around before the end of the show.

If they hate her it means they still care; unfortunately many people are indifferent to Libby at the moment which is worrying...

I hope Kate falls apart, I want to see more of the hostility between Lulu and Katie like there was in "The Long Con"

At the start, I wasn't too fond of AL but that quickly changed. There's something really compelling about her.

While AL does have this strong, intimidating and commanding aspect about her, she is nevertheless up front and straightforward.

Kate, watch out :-)

Hello all,

Did you catch the look Sayid gave Anna L as she was sleeping near the fire? Hubba Hubba Sayid!!!!! -- she is a VERY attractive lady!!! About time he noticed this.

I gave the romance between Sayid and Shannon little hope of success -- Shannon was not the type to change her spoiled rotten ways in such a short time. The first chance she had to better her position at Sayid's expense would have ended their love story. Shannon was a "user" and Sayid would have gotten sick of her pretty quickly.

Anna L is a far better match for Sayid; they have many things in common. The good traits and bad traits match, what could be better?

We need a lot more scenes with Anna on the beach in a tight bathing suit -- lets get those ratings ramped up!!!

^
|
Lmao.

:d

Wow after last night's eppy I like Ana Lucia even more. I loved the scenes between her and Sayid.

Within an extremely short amount of air time thus far, she has already made herself an intrinsic, intense and absolutely essential part of the LOST canvas.

I totally agree with you... I think people really downplay Michelle's acting skills. It takes a lot of work to invoke that much passion from people. She has definitely made her mark. Way to go for the writers as well. They created quite a stir in adding Ana Lucia.
Gold stars for everyone!

I find it so funny that after Collision people were still like "I still hate her, that changed NOTHING!" Yet last night she gets a nicer attitude and shows her smarts and has a couple one liners and people are chaning their tune. I find it a bit odd that that outweighs baby loss, but hell I'll take anything I can get!

WOOT WOOT!

Well, I know a lot of people that didn't like AL said that they hated the fact that she never appologized for killing Shannon, so I think that since she and Sayid have been spending more time together and working together, and since she appologized and seemed really sincere about it that some people have turned around because of this.

For me Collision was enough to make me like Ana. I liked her in the beginning (from Exodus), I didn't like what she did to Sawyer, Mike, Jin, Sayid, and Shannon, but I made excuses for her because I figured there had to be a reason for the way she was acting. To me Collision was enough for me to justify her actions. I understand that I gave her more slack than most people because I am a MR fan, so I've just been sitting back and waiting for AL to grow on people. And I'm glad that people are coming around. I think the apolopy was a big step for most people that they've really been waiting for.

If they hate her it means they still care; unfortunately many people are indifferent to Libby at the moment which is worrying...
Agreed on both points....I just love reading the hate threads & all the posters over there thinking that e-mailing all their names & such to the writers is going to make them take Michelle off the show. Uh, sorry...most of them would be surprised to see how little of an impact we have on the story-telling process.

She's the only blunt one on the whole island (besides Henry Gale, who is...uh, an enigma to say the least)....we finally get someone who tells it like it is & then another group has to start up with their whining. Please, it's a TV SHOW--you don't like it, then don't watch. Ana totally adds the much-needed strong female aspect that Kate has been too wishy washy to exhibit.

Ana was great on Wednesday! I'm lovin' her more and more.

Guys, we need some more activity aruond here....this is sad. LOL.

Obviously more Ana fans exists than we though, so then let's show it by posting here more often, come on!

I'll see you guys around here tonight as we discuss whatever cool stuff Ana does/says tonight. Don't make me hunt you down and drag your butt here a la Nathan. :p

L.

More good news...saw that another former hate club member is finding Ana-Lucia tolerable. :msn-wink:

And in the "Dave" preview (although previews are sometimes misleading and not even for the next episode), Ana-Lucia appears to be trying to calm Sayid down when he apparently wants to shoot faux-Henry Gale. I mention this for those who didn't see the Preview, or don't read the Preview threads (and they are considered spoilers).

Also, there are also spoilers that make it sound like there may be another Ana-Lucia-centric episode this season. There were 2 promo pix of Ana-Lucia apparently at an airport gate, but ABC Medianet pulled them after a couple days. They were dated 4/12/06, same as the Rose/Bernard-at-the-airport-gate pix, which should be epi "S.O.S." I don't know what it means that the pix were pulled...were they mistakenly posted and gave too much away? Anyway, she was wearing the outfit she had on in the bar scene with Jack.

Also, from a 3/30/06 chat with Javi on The Comics Review link (http://www.thecomicsreview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1607)

I doubt that the "cross" is just Ana-Lucia, Rose and Bernard all being at the flight 815 departure gate. So maybe it's a different flight they shared, or some other scenario (and cross character) entirely.

This will all be easier to discuss (no spoiler font needed) in the Spoiler and Spoiler Theories sections...there's already S.O.S. Promo Pics link (http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showthread.php?t=41504) and Javi Chat link (http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showthread.php?t=42522) threads.

Well, it's Wooooot-able!

:jump1:

I LOVE HER! :kiss:
:boone:

quite wootable LOL
will be happy to see her enteract with more of the cast. hope we see that soon.

I love you too....oh....you meant Ana....whoops. :p

Naw but anywho....this board is too dead....come on people! Yeah so anyway, while it's all well and fine that Ana be all nice and level headed (which I always though she was anyway)....and such, b/c now more people are liking her....BUT:

I miss "badass Ana" terribly. Old Ana was like this female Tarentino-esque made for tv creation that ruled all. Ana's a good person capable of doing hard as hell things and that's what I initially loved about her....I want the girl back who stepped on people and knocked guys out and threw them into pits....b/c come on, emptying your clip into an alread dead guy is the coolest thing in the world....and, you cannot be any cooler for saying, "If I were a savage I would have cut off his finger already. That's tomorrow." I mean, WHO SAYS THAT!? Someone who's a badass to the bone that's who. Ana was an awesome heroine....brutal, savage, dark....yet selfless and soft and sarcastic when needed. (Had she been a man she would have been loved all along, but whavever....) To me Ana's always been intelligent and pretty calm considering all she's been through. Yeah sometimes she was loud and harsh but other times she is very quite and introspective....I liked her then and I like her now, but they need to mix the two. Stop letting Sayid have all the fun....they know Henry's not Henry now, so let Ana talk Sayid down from killing him so she can have her "turn"....she never got to cut off those fingers, let her do it now. Beatings don't help and this guy can't take any more beatings....but some good old torture would I'm sure do the trick. Come on writers....let Ana have some fun....whether it be with this possible Other or another Other, I want to see some more kick *** Ana....now! :D

I have been an Ana Lucia Cortez fan from the start. When I heard she was coming aboard as a new cast member I knew there would be a reason to stick around because Michelle Rodgriguez has such potential that some of the roles she's done (however good I've loved her in) aren't worthy of her.

I knew she would cause friction between Kate & Jack. I really don't want Ana Lucia to hook up with Jack but I LOVE to see Kate squirm (I have always been a Kate hater). Michelle has done a hell of a job as ana lucia this season and I'm happy for her. She is the most talked about tailie lostie this season: hate or love her she provoked a strong reaction from fans from the beginning.

I love her back story and wish I would of taped it. A cop who had been shot and lost her baby and murdered the man who killed her baby. That's interesting.

I'm sick of the smack AL haters throw around about her its becoming tired. All that hate wasted on a dynamic strong willed character. My least favorite one is "Trigger happy". With all that the tailies have been through and she was the one holding onto the gun....

I'm estatic to see someone has FINALLY started a Ana Lucia appreciation thread.:cool:

I really don't want Ana Lucia to hook up with Jack but I LOVE to see Kate squirm
LOL. i hear ya!!, i don't HATE Kate but the tension is good LOL

wonder if she'll get more than 4 lines next week?? maybe she'll be the one to rescue Jack and Kate when they get strung up in that net?? LOL

Oh God, please do not EVEN bring up that contrived bs of the "net thing". *shudders at the sheer stupidity*

HAVE YOU SEEN THE LATEST SPOILERS!?

Ep 2x20 is 100% confirmed to be an Ana Lucia-centric ep. Here's the description: "Two for the Road" - Jack and Kate bring an exhausted Michael back to the camp, and with him, news about "The Others." Meanwhile, Ana Lucia attempts to get the prisoner to confess, and Hurley plans a surprise date for Libby. Also there's promo pics up. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I would SO appreciate it if you could. He sent me a PM and the title sounds like something I HAVE TO GET! Thanks!

Man, I'm STILL giddy over those spoilers, and I read them like 3 hours ago. :D :D :D

you have issues with the net thing?? but whhhy? it's SO original!!! :lipsseal: ROTF

Re:spoiler - 'bout damn time :biggrin:

I'm so excited about the new Ana Lucia episode...yay:biggrin:

Maybe it's not this one post in particular, and maybe no "rules" are being broken...I know it's the HATE thread, but I'm seeing this absurd trend of posters there are actually BLAMING Michelle Rodriguez and/or her character for the show's drop in ratings. Can you see how for fans of the actress and character and overall SHOW would be offended by this? Blaming one person for the drop in ratings? It's enfuriating and so untrue. They are effectively starting bullcrap rumors by acting like ABC will NOT be happy when her ep gets low ratings during sweeps...and they are trying to act like "every ep she's in gets low ratings". They are turning their hatred for the character into imaginary ratings issues so they feel better about their sheer anger. It's getting rediculous. I'm sorry but I am so fed up about those saying "Why aren't TPTB listening to 'ALL' the fans." Sorry but there's only a small handful that still hate with a vengeance. I'm just fed up that they are trying to lay blame on Michelle. That is complete bullcrap and totally uncalled-for. The writing of the show has taken a small hit and the pacing has stalled but instead of seeing the overall picture they just point to the one person they personally hate and then try to act like SHE is the problem. Like the overall public turns off their tvs when they see Michelle Rodriguez. To me, that is a HUGE slap in the face to both the actress and to the producers who believe in her and hired her.

To me, it is just rude and flat out mean spirited to point a finger at 1 freaking actress on an ENSEMBLE show that has had a mass amount of repeats and pacing problems and such....this show has like 15 regulars and 2 or 3 recurring characters. Yet they single handedly lay lower ratings on Michelle Rodriguez. That is so enfuriating b/c it's cruel and flat out incorrect to boot. Just b/c you hate someone does not give you the right to constantly try to let only your voice be heard to TPTB and act like you represent all of America. I may dislike Kate by I would never blame Evangeline Lilly or the character for single handedly ruining or bringing down the show. MR and Ana has many fans and the majority of the viewing public at least tolerates the character now. It is uncalled for a absurd to blame 1 out of 15 people who make up the cast....especially considering on average this ONE person gets two minutues of screen time.

God, this kind of crap makes me so angry it's not even funny. I really wish the mods would step in and tell these people to stop trying to lay blame on Michelle Rodriguez b/c the SHOW itself has dropped in quality and ratings a notch. Just b/c she happened to be on it when it did means absoluetly NOTHING and it is rude to say otherwise.

The ratings have dropped b/c of the show itself....and b/c people ALWAYS lose interest....every show has slumps....it's just convenient for these people to say, "Well I hate Ana/MR so I'll blame her." That to me is very immature and I really hope someone will say something to these people....b/c to me it's borderline actor-bashing....and producer-bashing as well....since these are the ones who put MR in this show to start with.

As a fan of Michelle Rodriguez and this show....I am officially offended by this accusation....and annoyed b/c it is just flat out incorrect to boot.

Rant over. I'm sure some haters will read this, and I hope they do b/c they can have all the fun they want bashing Ana, but when you insinuate that Michelle Rodriguez is single handedly destroying this great show or forcing the ratings to drop it is incredibly insulting to both the actress and the show....

I think it's bull also. Actually I feel it's because of her character that the second season ended up being so good. I like Michelle as an actress, and I like her character on here. All this negative stuff to me is just spin, done so to reach whatever points those with problems about the show are having; too much time between new shows, ect.....

Season Two: After coming off such a successful first season, it must have been hard as hell to follow that up. Millions of viewers. Many awards. What maybe should have been a cult show with a loyal following, instread was now mainstream. Hard work does pay off; the writing, all involved with filming, music, the actors (guys and girls). My wife and I love this show.

Reruns: I like the fact that they air season one repeats, as well as season two. Would like to see this in season three (showing repeats from seasons one and two). I have the feeling that the repeats shown, have something to do with whatever new episodes that are next to air (clues).

I'm sure this has already been suggested. Maybe holding off on the start of Season Three, so more new shows can be filmed and in the can, so therefore they can be aired in a row without the sometime long breaks in-between, might make things better as far as this subject (complaint by fans) goes. Then maybe not so many people will use Michelle as a scapegoat (maybe....maybe not).

Actually I read a rumor that TPTB are trying to get ABC to show Season 3 in 3 uninterupted parts. So season 3 may not start until October, but we will see it in three chunks instead of a few here and a few there. I hope this is true. It would be so good for the show to air it that way.

I imagine a good many fans would enjoy something like this, as compared to what is going on now.

For the record, I have so far enjoyed this whole season very much. Yeah, the time in between new shows was a drag sometimes, but it didn't cause my wive and I to complain, and moan. That's just the way it is. After all, this is free TV. A high quality show like this takes time to be put together. Understandable.

On the radio today I heard that Lost made last weeks Top 10 watched shows for the week. Congrats to all involved (including Michelle :) ).

Henry's a real freak isn't he. See that look on his face when Locke was trying to talk to him through the door.

I was surprised by the previews as well. My only guess is that he caught her off guard.
