Good episode. A lot going on.

The Boone/Locke interaction was good. I saw the Boone experience as being a hallucination since Locke said almost the same thing to Jack about facing his issues (his Dad).

What is the hatch ? A buried vehicle of somekind (submarine, other airplane) or an underground facility? Tried to discern from the way it looks and it seems more like to a buried vehicle but who knows? Hope they try to dig it up some more before getting it open.

More relationships emerging: Sayid and Shannon (continuing from last week), Kate and Sun, Hurley and Jin

Hurley still cracks me up. He is great comic relief but I can't wait until they do more with him. The "pee on me scene" was great.

 

[Crothian]

I'm wondering if the hatch isn't a set up. Som ething put there by whomever to attract attention but has no real solution.

It was a good episode and the hallucination angle was good.

 

[Aulayan]

I was disappointed at the end, unfortunately. I figured the hallucination was a hallucination when it started, but as it kept going I was saying to myself "Self, if they do a cop-out ending, it'll suck."

However, for character advancement without any actual cost, it is a nice plot device. And I do have faith in the writers that they'll stick with the character advancement.

The Jin-Hurley scenes...didn't work for me. Though the pee-on-me was cracking me up. The saving grace of those scenes was Hurley mentioning a rumour that Jin spoke English. It was the only explanation as to why Hurley kept trying to the point of me wanting to scream at him.

The hatch worries me. If it turns out to be a red herring, it'd be a bad idea. If it turns out to only give new questions without answering anything, it'd be bad. (Only so long can you keep your audience guessing without answering something)

Locke..is intriguing. I can see why he hasn't told everyone about the hatch, but certain people may be useful. Sayid, with his military background and his attempts to study the island, would be extremely useful and while Locke has said he wants Sayid on his side it still leaves the question of "Why a secret now?" That plus..."We want him on our side?" Sides? That got me thinking.

And that's about as detailed as I can get without going spoilery.

 

[Crothian]

That plus..."We want him on our side?" Sides? That got me thinking.

Sides have been going on for a while..we have the beacgers and the cave people. Now we havea new deivition, those who are willing to leave their pasts like Locke, and those who will hold on to them.

 

[JoeBlank]

I was okay with the cop-out ending, but sooner or later the show is going to come down with boy who cried wolf syndrome. Like a DM that won't kill characters, if I start to believe it is impossible for anyone to die then the show will lose a lot of suspense.

Would have been a shame for the character to die right after us learning the interesting secret to the brother-sister relationship, so I'm okay with the result. But I'm thinking they need to off somebody before the season is over, just to convince us they mean business.

I'm thinking the 'monster' isn't actually a beast of any kind.... as I said on one of the other threads, I think it's Alex, and now I think he's probably just a person with incredible psychic powers... he makes everyone think that he is a gigantic beast, but really isn't... he made Locke see something in a hallucination (we don't know what yet), and now Boone has had a similar experience. In both cases, it seems the experience was good for them (Boone and his sister?! yuck yuck yuck.. ok, I know they weren't blood related, but still... no wonder it was tormenting him).
Next week looks cool.. the bears are back!

 

[Zuoken]

Like most of the episodes, it gave us a lot to think about.

There's a lot that can be done with the "creature"'s ability to create illusions; for example, the pilot from the first episode might still be around, the rest of the French woman's team could still be alive... any number of things can be thrown at us.

Edit: Thinking back a few episodes, to when Eathan was fighting Jack when they were looking for Claire; does anyone have opinions on what kind of fighting style he was using? Some form of Military Combatives would be my first guess, but it's just as likely to be pure Hollywood fisticuffs.

Well, we still can't forget the first episode where three folks saw the pilot of the plane get yanked out of the cockpit window violently. Then they found the pilot later in bloody shreds 30 feet up in the branches of a tree.

Something did it.

It may be there is a beast on the island, and at the same time something else pretending to be the beast. *shrug*

On something else, so many times Locke does something freakish, it is turned its upside down and we discover some sort wisdom behind it. But yet we still have good reason to believe he is just plain dangerously unstable in every episode. I like it.

Locke and sides is something he seems to slowly be working at. First Charlie, now Boone. Which side is the real question, and side of what, as others have asked. Nice drop on the "it", "that's what it showed you?"
Hurleys best line was, "Dude, your wife's hot." when he was trying to get Jin's attention, and see if he spoke English.

 

[Hand of Evil]

What I found very interesting, Jack's movements and Locke's comment about him being very busy too, sure Jack is doing his "rounds" but what else is he up too as he seems to be getting "around" a good bit and I think it is more than collecting information and seeing his patients.

I think both Koreans speak english and is going to be a love-a-dovey moments when they both find out each other does. Call me sappy.

A lot of interaction in this one and Locke made Boone into a man, aka stand-alone now. Charlie's comment about Locke, complete trust in him and now Boone.

Okay, so how many noticed it was Sawyer being dragged into the jail as Boone was talking to the cop! It seems to me that there has been a number of sightings of everyone in the flashbacks, even if they were in the crowds, going to have to look closer.

Huley is the man, the jungle, the pee on me, "has this already been cleaned".

The compass, mmmmm, meteor rock, electro magnetic location, the island is rotating/moving, something else...

The hatch I still say is a sub and the beast is an elephant.
