LOST - Wednesday 11/9/05 {Spoilers for this ep and previous eps ONLY!}

[Aeric]

Just thought you might like to know there are rampant rumors that Ana did NOT shoot Shannon. Many are trying to say the shot sounded an awful lot like a rifle, not a handgun. Plus we didn't actually see it happen, and well this is LOST and unless you see it, you never know.

EDIT: also a theory that the wound is from a knife, not a gun. Screenshot:

Very interesting! Although Ana definitely fired her pistol, since when you see her afterwards, the slide is back, and it was mentioned earlier that they only had one bullet.... But it is entirely feasible that Shannon was stabbed by a spear or something and Ana fired on the attacker.

I'm definitely interested to see what happens next week! Surely there are some medical surprises in the Hatch!

Yeah, the "one shot" thing is what people are refuting the "second shooter" theory with.

I think she did shoot her; but I'm still not convinced that there aren't two groups of Others. I expect next episode will give us a better idea.

The Others the tail-section survivors faced appeared like they've 'gone savage'. This was completely different from Ethan, he of the combat-boots, martial-arts training and super-human strength. I'm guessing Ethan is part of some weird Dharma Eugenics nastiness, that the boat Others were parts of.

Questions: How did a pregnant woman get away from her captors? Why are kidnapping people? Why did they gank the tail-section survivors so badly, but virtually ignore the larger center-section group? How has Rosseau evaded them for so long? Is her son among them? Ethan, the boat people and the lords of the jungle seem awfully different in behavior and abilities. If there is just one group of Others, why are they so different in character? Could this be related to the different stations?

hmmm.....

Could the Swan be keeping them safe from the Others?!?

I don't think Ethan had super human strength, he was just a better fighter.

Did anyone notice the teddy bear in the coming attractions from last week? It appears it was from a tail end survivors. I wonder if the kid dragging it 2 eps ago was a tail end survivor.

And did the tail end survivors mention any of their missing being children. Kind of wierd Walt was the only survivng child.

Yes, the bear was noticed.

Yes, it is asked of Echo/Eku if he saw any of the children.

Next theory: Libby is the Other's plant:

...First off, go to the tape. Libby's the last one to interact with Cindy. And Cindy's carrying a large blue knapsack. By the time they've climbed to the top, Libby's carrying the knapsack. You're telling me she took the knapsack from Cindy and then proceeded to forget all about her? This is a ridge, not K-2 — you don't just ''lose'' people like that. Also notable: Cindy hands Libby a walking stick of some sort, just before we lose track of her completely. As this handoff takes place, we see a cavelike opening in the background, right where Cindy's about to pass. And it looks as if there's some sort of shape inside.

But here's my best evidence of Libby's treachery: Tonight, she told Sawyer she's a clinical psychologist. Well, who appears to have designed this tropical house of horrors, according to a certain orientation video? A team of clinical psychologists, that's who. Coincidence? What do you think?...

 

[John Crichton]

This has been talked about and I always expect there to be spoilers when any episode thread is started. What I'm afraid of is people talking about future episode spoilers if we lable as such. I'll try to label it clearly.

Yeah, there has been discussion aplenty about ENWorld spoilers and personal preferences but I can't keep up so I just try and play it safe while not going nuts with things. My post was the first one to talk about specific plot and others have just been hinting or speculating pre-show. Just CMA.

And, thanks!

 

[John Crichton]

Shannon could live, since Cindy might fulfil the promo. But I agree it is more interesting for Shannon to die and Cindy to be an Other.

It could have been Cindy, but why have the promo make a big deal over a character with 2 lines and about 5 minutes of screen time? And BTW - Cindy is a Cylon, so that takes care of that. *jeeze*

 

[John Crichton]

John Crichton, your comments on her journey being complete make sense. I like your thinking.

I expect the next episode will consist of Anna explaining her actions, which leads to her groups experiences on the island to justify her being so jumpy.

Thanks. I think the show is simpler than it seems sometimes. Little victories, with plot and all that. Keeps me watchin'.
