So what is the next episode going to be about?

So what is the next episode going to be about?

About 44 minutes long! HA! That one never gets old.

Seriously? Jack deals with Desmond, apparently. It sounds like they're going to get some answers, but how many and how useful is unknown. I expect we'll also see more on the fate of the boat's survivors.

As for the song, that was none other than "Mama Cass" Elliot, recorded after she left the Mamas and the Papas (you know, "California Dreaming"?). The song in question is "Make your own kind of music".

 

[Fast Learner]

Ah, interesting... ok, I can hear that a Mama Cass, too.

Still a very Carpentery song.

So how powerful you think that magnetic field can get? Powerful enough to rip a plane apart?

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

About 44 minutes long!

I hope you get eaten by one of those polar bears that is wandering around...
Or that the secret, mysterous, handleless hatch you open with TNT leads to a septic tank...

And still the characters have attacks of the stupid and insist on going with few people or alone on missions. Like the girl going after the dog in this episode, and locke and the another having just two people to enter the shaft .. and then jack following them. . alone.

Pretty st00pid.

Never split the party, never ever split the party!!

Various observations. Danielle's transmission had been running for about 16 years, and was more then likely started not terribly long after they got to the island and Much Badness Happened. That puts that occurance in the late 80's.

Jack was wearing intern togs in the flash back and his marriage, etc seems quite some time ago, let's also say the late 80's (there is probably some visual proof of that in the flash backs I'll have to go back and rewatch it.) So when he met Desmond, and Desmond was discussing a 'race around the world' let's say that was also the late 80's.

My first assertion is that Desmond and and Danielle's crew both arrived at the island probably fairly close together timewise maybe on the same ship. The tower in the complex was broadcasting Hugo's numbers before Danielle changed it and of course the hatch numbers so it seems evident to me that the numbers are important to whatever sort of installation the island actually is.

My second assertion is that all that gear was already down in that shelter when Desmond arrived and he took it over for protection. Sealing himself and quarenting off the island as others have suggested.

glad to known I'm not the only one who dislikes her character - aside from the French, she's as useful as a sake of broken hammers and about as useful.

I miss Boone.

I hope they kill more characters next year.

but... she's cute! You can't kill off the eye candy! Kill off someone ugly.... or a bunch of those nameless of the '42' survivors...

I am so looking forward to finding out what the link is to that dog. Every time it takes off for a crunch, crazyness ensues.

A recent Q&A with JJ Abrams revealed that he had planned to have a flashback sequence from the dog's point of view at one point (during the finale, presumably) in which we'd see something very telling about the story in the plane's cargo hold. Unfortunately, someone spilled the beans (apparently Kristin from E Online!) and JJ scrapped the story.

He may still tell a story from the dog's POV (at least partly) but he's waiting for an appropriate time to do so.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

There are a lot of Scully Blindspots in Lost. My #1: Why haven't the characters spent more time exploring the island? There could be a Club Med just a few miles away and they wouldn't even know!

Don't forget that Sayid did some exploring in season one on his own, and apparently didn't find a Club Med or a Hedonism on the island.

Not to mention that every time they've gone off to explore, they usually end up running for their lives from monsters, polar bears, booby traps, or crazy frenchwomen.
