I hope they get this show back on track.

Will Jack let Benry die?

Will Kate and Sawyer escape?

Will the Others punish Jack for what he has done?

Will the survivors back at the beach do something useful?

Will Desmond shave?

will Hurley find another girlfriend?

Will Michael and son ever turn back up?

Will Lassie be able to pull Timmy out of the well?

Will another of the main characters die?

And what about the smoke monster, the other hatches, that horse that Kate and Sawyer saw, the bears, Desmond's girlfriend, the food drop, and Sun's baby?

*snickers* Edmund Burke. We've got another philosopher!

Pretty good ep.

Anagram found!

Mittelos = LOST TIME or TIME LOST.

For what it's worth

I missed that one.

Alex's boyfriend was being subjected to some intense psychological torture. Juliet has been kept on the island, against her will, for more than three years. I think that in DnD terms, regardless of his motives or what he thinks of himself, Benry (that is all I will ever call him) is lawful evil.

The guard was reading, and making notes in, A Brief History of Time. Heh.

Feel for the Wookie prisoner gag. Heh.

Alex needs greater supervision - she is causing a lot of trouble, digging holes, building boats, when she is running around on her own.

Ethan Rom was apparently allowed off the island at some point. Or he came to the island for the first time around the time Juliet did. This also poses some interesting questions. If he was allowed off, then apparently people can leave. If that is the case, why did he go back. If he was shanghaied like Juliet apparently was, how did Benry manged to force them to stay? for that matter, how does he keep so many people doing his bidding?

I don't buy the bus as a deliberate murder on part of the Dharma people. What were they doing, circling the block in that bus for days at a time, waiting for Ed to step out into the street so they could cream him?

By the way, Edmund Burke (12 January 1729 – 9 July 1797) was an Anglo-Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist, and philosopher, who served for many years in the British House of Commons as a member of the Whig party. He is often regarded as the father of Anglo-American conservatism. To my knowledge, he was not a venal bully.

Another back story of woe.
More mystery on the power of someone/thing?
More characters added.
More feaking commecials than I like.

Don't get me wrong, I like the show but it is starting to tick me off by going the character interaction over the mystery of the island.

Did anyone whatch the pre-show with the producers? Pretty early on in it one says that most people are more intersted in the characters back story and development than in the mysteries of the island.

To that I say

I want to know what the hell is going on with this island

I'm not so sure about that. My sister says she saw the bus just sitting in the background revving its engine about 30 seconds before it ran down Juliet's boss.

Good point about Ethan perhaps being allowed off the island; I hadn't considered the implications of that.

The thing I'm most interested in is what Ben really said to Juliet. Do we actually take her at her word when she says he told her to let Kate and Sawyer go? I just can't see that. Kate and Sawyer have learned too much about the Others...most importantly, the location of the second island.

And it really pissed me off that Jack let Ben and Juliet speak in private in the first place!! "One gentleman to another??!!" Puh-lease!! He's got Ben in a position where Ben can't pull all the strings like he normally does, and Jack lets him off the hook! Stupid, stupid Jack!
