Lost (5/17 SPOILERS!!!)

[Brown Jenkin]

At the Other's camp, did Zeke look meaningfully at some tent and say something about asking "her?" Don't remember the exact quote, but it seemed to imply he was referring to a woman who's his superior. My first thought that it's going to be Rousseau as a surprise twist, but I can't see that making any sense, given her behaviour previously in the series.

If it is Rousseau then there is scheming and plans within plans within plans since she is the one who turned Henry Gale over and facitated Claries escape. Not that there can't be that level of scheming going on but if there is I would definitely walk away from the show because then absolutely nothing going on could ever be trusted.

I thought when they were carting Michael through the village I saw Desmond sitting outside a hut.

 

[Arnwyn]

Not a great episode. However, I did really like seeing the "behind the scenes" (as KaosDevice so eloquently put it) of The Others, so that was cool. And Walt yelling "they're lying, they're not what they seem" (paraphrasing). Good stuff. And neat seeing the next Dharma hatch - some rectangle (along with the Swan, Pearl, Arrow, Medical, and Flame [from the map]). That's all six.

But the Lostaways stupidity just irks me. Michael is definitely all weird and wacko, and when it comes to anything about The Others, you've got to be fricken' nuts not to be really really suspicious. Duh!

And I'm confused why they'd want Kate (and some of the others) when they had her before. Weird, and doesn't make any sense. They got some 'splainin' to do.

or maybe it's Desmond on that boat....that would be funny

That would be!

Desmond gets out, looks around, sees the Lostaways: "Aw, dammit!"

Okay. let me see if I've got this figured out. Michael's list is the list of (living) people who have seen abberations on the island. Jack saw his father, Kate saw the horse, Hurley saw the 'imaginary' guy from the asylum, Sawyer saw.... can't remember.

Am I at all correct on this, or is this just the sickness talking?

Did the people of LOST island just become completely stupid?

Actually no I think this happened on the first episode of last season but it is possible that they have become worse as of late.

I am not buying the Michael arguments. He acted completly irrational to at least three people (Jack, Hurley, and Sayid) and no one except Sayid questioned it. His convo with Jack about doing it his way was a complete flag and Jack should have seen that.

Regarding the boat, I don't care if it is Desmond or for Michael or something else, I agree with Crothian. You would have seen that thing miles off if it was in the ocean. Hell Locke was staring off into the ocean prior to the funeral, he didn't see it minutes before Sun did? Likely it is a gift from the others, as I doubt Locke would have missed a boat on the horizon.

Overall a crappy episode, but that has become the norm with this series. Last season the story was good and captivating. This year they have beaten a dead horse with the flashbacks and the lack of information the promised. I am a firm believer that the producers have no idea what they are doing, as evidenced with the red herrings that they are feeding the net conspiricy theorists with. If you have a storyline you don't need your writing team scouring the net to feed crap to the viewers with. Tell us what the hell is going on, or tell us enough to want to tune in next season at least.

Oh, and so Kate didn't hear Michael when they were both captured, but she didn't hear Zeke talking to him about keeping his mouth shut and how we have another friend of yours or whatever he said? Yeah that makes sense!

Yes, they are the ones that had some 'encounter' on the island...Sawyer's was the pig...but then so did Locke and Eko. Kate may be on the list just as an 'object' to control both Jack and Sawyer, sort of if you do not help, we hurt her but if you remove those four, you basicly remove the people that have the greatest pull with the other castaways, which you may then be able to control better (if you had a person inside).

I thought he was calling Mrs Clue

The paper Michael was burning outside the hatch - wasn't that pink? The list he was given was on a piece of yellow paper. Did Walt slip him a note?

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

Anyone know when the DVD set for season two will be released?

Never mind. I just found out it will not be until October. Lord. I'm gonna have to wait until the fall for new episodes of Battlestar, LOST and a DVD of the same. Well, I guess in the mean time it's back to my exhaustive collection of porn...

Some things that occurred to me upon just watching it, not yet mentioned in this thread:

• The "rock" with the hole in it is an old building with a window. I suspect it was built by the original Hanso, survivor of the Black Rock.
  
• Charlie, having beaten his demons and found resolution, can die now.
  
• I'm surprised at how many Others were hanging out around the tent village a week after Michael was captured: who was the act for, outside the tent Michael was in? Do you tie up a dozen of your crew playing pretend so Michael can go outside and pee? Seems like a mistake.

Already mentioned: the color of the note is unchanged, it's just a matter of the yellow light in the tent vs. the light outside. Walt said the Others were "pretending." Michael is an idiot of the highest order: I have a daughter, the dearest thing to me on the planet, more dear than myself, but there's no frickin' way I'd fall for that crap, kill some people and send others to their doom when there's no indication that my child is in definite danger, and even to the contrary, though kidnapped, seems to be just fine. Also, he's an .
