help!

Once again, ABC (in our area anyway) ran it a few minutes late. So of course our Tivo missed the last few minutes (we even set it to record a minute past the hour). I swear they are doing that on purpose to screw with the time-shifters!

Anyway, we only got up until Locke told Boone it was a halucination. What did he go on to tell him? Waht did we miss? And what were the previews for next week?

If anyone knows, it would be much appreciated.

Did not miss too much, he asked Boone what he felt from the halucination, Shannon was in the background with Syhid, the answer was "relief" over Shannon's death, he had a look of understanding on his face. Locke smiled that knowing grin and said to come along at which time they set off into the darken forest...show ends.

Does anyone else have a wife who asks what's going on right when there's really important dialogue?

 

[Mystery Man]

The whole monster being an illusion means that the pilot wasnt real in the first episode. One has to wonder if the information the illusory pilot gave them is true, and if it is why does "it" want them to know?

Sides

The sides are forming up on the island. On one side, we'll get Locke and all of the "Tier 2" characters, as they begin to follow him. On the other side, we'll get Jack, Sayid, Kate, Sawyer and others who won't ever trust Locke, for whatever reason.

Eventually, they'll be proven right -- Locke is up to something -- something that he needs devotion from his followers for -- and it's tied up in the overall mystery of the island.

At the end of the episode, when Locke is walking away, he doesn't ask Boone to "Come with me." -- he says, "Follow me." It's not a matter of "Hey, we're going to the same place, why don't we go together...", it's more like, "I will lead, you will follow. I will give you experiences, and you will grow...".

Great discussion episode -- lots of cool stuff going on.

The island could be hollow?

And/or an enclosed world, much like Farmer's River World, World of Tiers, Lava Lite World... The compass picks up the earths magnetic field but the island is off, this takes us back to it being a matrix or dream world, why Boone saw what he did and thought it happened.

I think someone does need to die from the cast eventually. With such a large cast it would be easy enough to do.

The problems I have with the "beast" simply being illusory stem from the first few episodes where everyone can hear it and a lot of people see it crashing through the forest as well as the pilot encounter. I am not ready to believe there isn't something real there.

I think once Jin finds out Sun can speak English he will go ballistic. Basing that on their background episode.

Locke is up to something. I still don't believe it to be sinister or at least he doesn't believe it to be.

... And what were the previews for next week?

If anyone knows, it would be much appreciated.

Walt is shown throwing knives with Locke again. Michael threatens to kill Locke unless he stays away from his son. Walt is shown up a tree (or in a copse of trees) being threatened by another polar bear.

Anything else important?

Actually, depending on how much of the illusion was created by The Beast and how much by Locke's medication, I have a new theory. We still don't know who hit Sayyid, but even with the introduction of Ethan and Russo we still have Locke as a primary suspect. What if much of his encounter with Russo was also illusionary? After all, it gave Sayyid a lot of what he "wanted," a chance to receive penance for his use of torture and to confess about his past to someone. Obviously, something physical happened to him, or he wouldn't have the maps and injuries, but anything from the voices to Russo herself could have been a hallucination, especially since he's still the only one to see her.
