New "LOST" thread

[lurkey]

I feel so sorry for Charlie too. He seems so lost right now too....no pun intended. Wants to be part of the group, be trusted, be relied upon to do his share of the work. Wondering how he's going to get back in their good graces too.....he has to!

Stormwatcher - here's a site that might clear up some of your past questions, on back stories and such. So far none on Rose and her husband, or Libby.

FYI

Rose/Bernard flashback will be next season per the producers. There will be a Libby flashback sometime this season.

Congratulations to the cast of Lost for their SAG award last night.

[Miss Mary]

Next season - we have to wait that long? Lost needs to be a 2 hour show every week!

[MSRobi911]

If ya'll remember Hurley was in a mental hospital for a while or did he just visit, remember that is where he got the numbers to play the Lotto with. I bet she was either a patient or a nurse at the same mental hospital where he was either staying or visiting, I can't remember which one.

I can't believe they are having reruns again, I understand it takes 10-15 days to shoot one episode, but come on!!!!! Make enough before the season starts to take you through, this is ridiculous. The only thing is it keeps us watching!

I am proud that they have won some awards and all been given raises as they are all good actors. Hurley does need to loose some weight though...he is on an island with limited food. Just a comment.

Mary

[O Town]

I would have thought the same thing about Hurley. That he would have lost some wieght. It seems he was just visiting when he was at the mental hospital, or either his roomate or nieghbor there that always repeated those numbers. It has been so long I forgot as well, or I don't think they made it clear wheather he was visiting or staying. Is that the one episode they are playing tomarrow? I would like to see it again. Good idea to play season 1 episode reruns. I guess this is to refresh us, because I think Daniel and those numbers are coming back into play here soon this season.

The castaways’ secret dossiers
Getting ‘Lost’? Here's a road map to who's who and what could happen

Art Streiber / ABC, INC.
Feel like you're drowning in an ocean of details by watching "Lost"? Imagine how THEY feel.

What mysteries is Locke keeping locked inside? What's keeping Sawyer up at night (aside from fantasies about Kate)? And which castaways have hidden dark sides we've yet to see?

Add up the gaps between episodes, the tangle of plots and its creators' dazzling attention to detail, and sometimes it feels like you need a scorecard to keep up at the weekly “Lost” watercooler debate.

To help out, we've compiled a handy pocket guide to most of “Lost's” better-known castaways, complete with the little facts and figures that matter.

No, we're not talking about Hurley's golf handicap. But speaking of handicapping, we've included a few fun predictions about what might happen next. Not that we'd ever endorse any sort of wager or game based on your favorite castaways.

But in case, y'know, you happen to be playing along at home ...

NAME: John Locke
ROLE: Spiritual leader and MacGyver-in-training.
SPECIAL POWERS: Opening hatches, calming potentially prophetic babies.
DEEP DARK SECRET: Those legs weren't made for walkin'.
TOOL OF CHOICE: That's not a knife. This is a knife.
GOOD OR EVIL? He could be the secret font of evil and the best-kept spy among the Losties. Or the guy who'll save them all. Flip for it?
PREDICTIONS: We know Locke's good with kids, but spooky looks of late are a sign that his fascination with Claire's baby Aaron can't be just some long-hidden uncle complex. Take the baby and run, Claire!

NAME: Eko
ROLE: Tailies' spiritual leader; Locke's nemesis (or is it the other way around?).
SPECIAL POWERS: Hunting, tracking, impromptu baptisms. Staring down black-smoke monsters.
DEEP DARK SECRET: He's not half the fearsome Nigerian warlord you think he is.
TOOL OF CHOICE: His Scripture stick. Also, Bibles with secret compartments.
GOOD OR EVIL? We've stopped trying to guess.
PREDICTIONS: He and Locke have been quietly scoping each other out for the past few episodes. Locke has the faith thing down, but Eko can quote chapter and verse. The bell's rung and they're coming out of their respective corners. Showtime!

NAME: Jack
ROLE: The Doctor is in ... your face.
SPECIAL POWERS: Brooding, self-sacrifice, occasional stitching.
DEEP DARK SECRET: How exactly did that marriage break up? Who was the other man in his wife’s affair? How well do he and Desmond really know each other?
TOOL OF CHOICE: Little black bag.
GOOD OR EVIL? Making Mr. Perfect evil could only make the show more interesting, but it’ll never happen.
PREDICTIONS: He’s not over Kate yet, Ana-Lucia. And let’s hope he hasn’t dropped all of his doubts when it comes to John “not quite Mr. Clean” Locke, because he’s gonna need ‘em.

NAME: Hurley
ROLE: The Dude abides; keeper of the Numbers.
SPECIAL POWERS: Incapable of weight loss even on a very limited island diet.
DEEP DARK SECRET: If I were a rich man — oh, wait, I am. Doesn’t mean I wasn’t in a mental institution, though.
TOOL OF CHOICE: 4 8 15 16 23 42.
GOOD OR EVIL? If the writers made fan favorite Hurley evil, “Lost” would be the subject of a viewer revolt the likes of which hasn’t been seen since Bobby Ewing showed up in his “Dallas” shower. But just think how juicy things would get after that.
PREDICTIONS: He’ll stay good. He’ll stay fat. And he should stay away from Libby, who may not be as innocent as she seems. If she is a clinical psychologist, is she in Dharma’s employ? Or was she on staff at Hurley’s clinic?

NAME: Sayid
ROLE: Token Iraqi; actual battle-scarred veteran (as opposed to Locke and his military fantasies).
SPECIAL POWERS: Computer repair; transceiver triangulation; light torture.
DEEP DARK SECRET: Nadia’s alive and living in California, and he’s already proved he would betray almost anyone to get back to her.
TOOL OF CHOICE: He’s pretty good with sharpened bamboo. Right, Sawyer?
GOOD OR EVIL? The lone Iraqi, evil? They wouldn’t do that. You wouldn’t want to get on his bad side, let’s just say that.
PREDICTIONS: We’re sure to discover Sayid has more mysterious mechanical skills and random knowledge that will come in handy just when needed. Also, this hunk won’t be single for long. He and Ana-Lucia actually have a lot in common, if he can get past that whole Shannon murder thing.

NAME: Ana-Lucia
ROLE: Good cop, bad cop; leader of the Tailies.
SPECIAL POWERS: Sorting out the bad from the good, with occasional errors. Sorry, Shannon. And possibly Nathan.
DEEP DARK SECRET: She’s been known to shoot first and ask questions later. Oh, wait, that’s hardly a secret now.
TOOL OF CHOICE: Happiness is a warm gun.
GOOD OR EVIL? Depends. How much did you like Shannon, anyway?
PREDICTIONS: She and Jack both served as leaders of half the plane, now they’re finding even more in common. But we’re betting Ana hasn’t quite scratched her itchy trigger finger itch.

NAME: Charlie
ROLE: One-hit wonder from Hobbiton.
SPECIAL POWERS: His constant dreams that Aaron’s in danger have made him a bit of a Cassandra — no one believes him and even if they did, what would they do?
DEEP DARK SECRET: He wants a new drug.
TOOL OF CHOICE: Gee-tar.
GOOD OR EVIL? Quite possibly, Charlie is too stupid to be evil.
PREDICTIONS: His suspicions about Locke getting too close to Aaron may have some merit, but who listens to the Hobbit?

NAME: Michael
ROLE: Daddy dearest.
SPECIAL POWERS: Artist by trade. Also, can make ancient computers spring to life and miraculously dial up his missing son. We don’t know of more powers, but hey, Walt had to inherit the backwards-talking animal-conjuring from one of his folks.
DEEP DARK SECRET: He really wanted Walt all along, but hid it to make the boy’s mother and stepdad look better.
TOOL OF CHOICE: Ancient Apple hybrid.
GOOD OR EVIL? Good, but capable of being clouded and led off-course by his anguish over his son.
PREDICTIONS: Was he really chatting, or was that computer conversation just his fantasy? If he was chatting, was it really Walt? Can you say “led into a trap”?

NAME: Walt
ROLE: If this were "The Wizard of Oz," he'd be the Wizard. We think.
SPECIAL POWERS: Indeterminate, but significant enough for Sea Captain Zeke and posse to have absconded with him.
DEEP DARK SECRET: Plays a mean game of backgammon. Also might have inadvertently hastened his mom's death — with his mind.
ANIMAL OF CHOICE: Polar bear. And Vincent, of course.
GOOD OR EVIL? Good, but probably capable of more evil than he knows — like that kid on the "It's a Good Life" episode of "The Twilight Zone."
PREDICTIONS: Here's a safe one — we predict we'll see Walt again before season's end. Even money also says he's going to be the key to the showdown with the Others. But what's gonna happen to Vincent?

NAME: Sawyer
ROLE: Island con man and all-around slice of beefcake.
SPECIAL POWERS: Invites torture for no apparent reason, invents nicknames — some better than others. (“Zeke” rocks, but “Freckles” is a bit twee.)
DEEP DARK SECRET: Killed a man in Oz and got the wrong guy. Not quite as catchy as “Killed a man in Reno just to watch him die,” but you get the picture.
ANIMAL OF CHOICE: There’s a boar out there with a vendetta against him.
GOOD OR EVIL? Ironically, for as evil as he started out sounding, he’s probably good.
PREDICTIONS: He and the Dread Pirate Zeke will meet again, as promised, and it ain’t lookin’ good for ol’ Zeke.

NAME: Kate
ROLE: International Woman of Mystery.
SPECIAL POWERS: Jealousy.
DEEP DARK SECRET: Murdered her stepdad. Except her stepdad was her real dad. Didn't quite escape the intercontinentally long arm of the law.
ANIMAL OF CHOICE: The black horse that won't go away.
GOOD OR EVIL? Good, aside from that whole patricide thing.
PREDICTIONS: Fair money's still on Sawyer to woo Freckles, though that kiss with Jack wasn't just a brief bout of jungle love. But what will Kate do besides serve as the island's temptress-in-residence? If Jack's serious about building a Lostaway army, we hear Ms. Austen's plenty handy with a gun.

NAME: Jin
ROLE: Keeps them all in fresh fish. Also, hired muscle for his father-in-law.
SPECIAL POWERS: An uncanny ability to learn pidgin English. And looks surprisingly good in a doorman's uniform.
DEEP DARK SECRET: Wife Sun thinks he's a dangerous man, but she has yet to discover his tender side — though an extended stay as the Tailies' captive has softened his edges.
ANIMAL OF CHOICE: Sea urchin. That's good eatin', Hurley.
GOOD OR EVIL? Good, even if it's taken folks a while to notice. (That means you, Michael.)
PREDICTIONS: Forget Berlitz — Jin will be reciting Shakespeare before you know it.

NAME: Sun
ROLE: Gardener, translator, nurse, voice of reason.
SPECIAL POWERS: Might be a more skilled healer than Jack. Just hope she doesn't give you some of her "special" poisoned water. (Again, Michael, that means you.)
TOOL OF CHOICE: Any gardening implement, real or improvised.
GOOD OR EVIL? Good enough that the Others are keeping a closer eye on her than she knows.
PREDICTIONS: Sun has surprised everyone with her hidden skills. So as the Dharma mystery unfolds, it's safe to assume we might discover a few other talents as yet unmentioned by the quiet woman from Seoul.

NAME: Claire
ROLE: Bearer of special babies, and the Shirley Jones to Charlie's David Cassidy.
SPECIAL POWERS: Not much for her, but baby Aaron seems to have a certain glow.
TOOL OF CHOICE: Charlie, until lately.
GOOD OR EVIL? Probably good, but something was unsettling enough to scare off a tough-looking Aussie psychic and make her scram all the way to L.A.
PREDICTIONS: Secondary characters seem to have a mysterious way of dying on Mystery Island. Unless the Dharmites have some as-yet-undisclosed plans for Claire, we wonder what her long-term role among the Losties might be. Equally puzzling is how she chose the name Aaron. We get the brother-of-Moses references, but in that case: Who on the island is a would-be Moses?

[Miss Mary]

Sunny! Thanks so much for posting that list. I've got to show it to Laura. Here I was just sitting down at the computer, thinking oh yeah, we have a rerun tonight.....dang. And you post that list. I had to laugh at many of the comments. LOL @ the Hurley one and referencing Bobby Ewing from Dalley. LOL @ Saywer's too. But when they came to Claire and was she good or evil, I thought for certain, it would say "if you don't already know, you haven't been watching Lost!"!!! Come on now, she's good! Laughed at the Eko vs Locke comments too.

That just about made up for a rerun tonight....almost!

Just found this TV Guide interview with Jorge Garcia/Hurley:

http://www.tvguide.com

Will Hurley Get Lost in Love?
by Matt Webb Mitovich

Jorge Garcia, Lost

ABC's Lost (Wednesdays at 9 pm/ET) took another tiny step toward Housewives-like sudsiness last week when Hurley finally (thanks, James!) made his move with Libby. But is the most lovable castaway about to get his big heart broken? In between hosting poker games with his Lost buddies — "Beware of that aggressive Oahu police force!" we warned him — Jorge Garcia phoned TVGuide.com to talk about Hurley's present (and, of course, past) predicaments, his own Web savviness and the "monster" of a pet he has living with him.
TVGuide.com: It's been a while since the season premiere but I have to ask, since you do play Hurley: How satisfied were you with the hatch reveal?
Jorge Garcia: I was very satisfied.

TVGuide.com: How and when did you first learn what was down there?
Garcia: I didn't see the set until the first day I came to work [this season]. [Dog yelps in background.] In the script, there was a description of, you know, the blank computer screen and stuff, and I kind of figured that these things would all end up being inside the hatch, just from reading it.

TVGuide.com: You must have almost felt as if you picked up the wrong show's script at first.
Garcia: But that is a big Damon [Lindelof, series cocreator] thing, where he starts out with: "There's just a cursor.... Lost is supposed to be on now, right?" It says that right there in the action part of the script. He likes to write what the audience is probably thinking at that moment.

TVGuide.com: It must be cool to no longer have folks pester you about "What's in the hatch?! What's in the hatch?!"
Garcia: Yeah, it was definitely cool that they did a lot of hatch stuff at the beginning, to kind of take care of that.

TVGuide.com: What are people asking you about these days?
Garcia: Um... [Dog growls] most people say they like all the excitement that's been going on lately, and I in turn agree with them that the scripts are getting really good. Like, right after they meet "Mr. Friendly" [the bearded leader of the Others] and Jack says to Ana Lucia, "How long does it take to train an army?" — that was a pretty cool direction to go in. [Dog yelps]

TVGuide.com: OK, I'm curious, what kind of creature have you got there?
Garcia: I have a "dach-huahua," a dachshund-Chihuahua mix. And a neighborhood cat kinda poked her head in the cat door, so the dog's been....

TVGuide.com: On edge? In attack mode?
Garcia: [Laughs] Yeah, she's been "protecting" the house for like 15 minutes now.

TVGuide.com: Are you a Web-savvy type, out there visiting the Hanso Foundation sites and stuff?
Garcia: I check out the Fuselage, because the questions get posted to me and I can answer them directly. But as far as the other websites, I will listen to iTunes podcasts, where a lot of people talk about what's on the different sites and what Easter eggs they're finding....

TVGuide.com: It must be wild as an actor to be a part of something bigger than what you're going to work five days a week to do.
Garcia: Yeah, it's really interesting. [Laughs] It's cool.

TVGuide.com: So what are we doing here with Hurley-Libby? Last week Sawyer egged him on to make his move. What is Hurley's reluctance?
Garcia: Sawyer certainly succeeded, we saw that much! I guess Hurley is a little bit of a chicken. It probably took him a long time to ask out Starla [in the Oct. 12 "Everybody Hates Hugo" flashback], as well, even though he'd been crushing on her for a while. But he wanted to ask her before it got out that he'd come into money.

TVGuide.com: Hurley couldn't have just gone up to Libby and say, "Hi, I'm worth $156,000"?
Garcia: He can't. He's not a man of that type of action.

TVGuide.com: How is Cynthia Watros as a leading lady for you?
Garcia: It's great, she's a lot of fun.

TVGuide.com: Did you two have a "get to know you" sit-down when you saw where they were heading with Hurley and Libby?
Garcia: No. We knew it was coming after they had me help her build her shelter, but it wasn't like we had any specific conversations about it.

TVGuide.com: Just watch — you kids will hit it off and it will be revealed that she's a mole for the Others and she'll go all evil on ya.
Garcia: [Laughs] Yeah, who knows!

TVGuide.com: Have you had the chance to do any stand-up comedy since you started Lost?
Garcia: I have not, actually, but that was more of something I dabbled in than really pursued. It might be cool to do it again because now I'd get to play a better room than a coffee shop!

TVGuide.com: What sorts of things did you riff on?
Garcia: Well, that's the other thing. I'm on a Disney show, but I was a little more blue with my material.

TVGuide.com: Do you still like the way Hurley fits into the canvas, kind of the happy-go-lucky guy?
Garcia: I like it a lot. And one of the things that is interesting is that it seems like his relationship with Jack has changed a bit. Jack still looks out for him, but there's more of a standoff between them on occasions, which I think is very interesting.

TVGuide.com: Let's talk about your massive CD collection. How massive is it?
Garcia: It's getting bigger. My girlfriend's out of town this weekend, so I went back to ripping CDs onto the hard drive and stuff, and I have....

TVGuide.com: Hundreds?
Garcia: Oh, easy. The only way I measure it now is in iTunes, and it says my entire collection would last 91 days. I used to have them organized alphabetically on shelves, but when I knew I was moving [to do Lost], I took them out of the jewel cases, put them into sleeves to compress the space, and then shipped them all to Hawaii.

TVGuide.com: Have you upgraded to a video iPod yet? Because then you could, like, watch downloaded Lost episodes.
Garcia: The show gave us video iPods for Christmas, actually!

TVGuide.com: The "big story" last week was how Lost's original cast members had been offered a raise. How might you spend yours?
Garcia: I would never get this, but I've always wanted one of those automatic card shufflers like they have in Vegas, the kind that handle three decks at a time. We have poker games sometimes, and that'd be a great thing to have.

TVGuide.com: You know, we need another Hurley flashback episode, to show us exactly how and why his friendship with Johnny (DJ Qualls) became fractured.
Garcia: Right. There's definitely the possibility for future stuff to do with DJ. I know Damon has mentioned to DJ there's the possibility of other stuff later. DJ's into it because he liked coming out and being a part of it.

TVGuide.com: So, you don't know for sure if you'll get another flashback episode this season?
Garcia: I don't know for sure. I'm hoping for like, a mental-institution story. Let's do that story and find out what happened there.

[wx247]

I love the articles. They are must reads! Thanks for sharing.

[Miss Mary]

Garrett - you got it....unless of course I work full time or something....LOL Right now I have time to post here. Applied for a teachers aide job, 6.5 hours a day. So if I were to be offered a job with hours like that, gosh I'd have no free time.....but for now, I'm still a regular here!

Mary

[O Town]

Wow, see I forgot about alot of that episode. That Hurleys reason for being in Australia was to see Sumsue(whatever his name was). He was the one Lenny in the institution orginally heard the numbers from. Well Samsue killed himself and Lenny has gone wacko. And Dianel and Samsue both heard those number in the transmision both on boats in the pacific, and it came from that tower on the island. I had forgot all that. Hmmmm. And she actually changed the transmision to the message it says now. Samsue used the numbers to win money, I am guessing so did Lenny. Well that was a great rerun to watch, I enjoyed watching. Alot of things make more sense now seeing it again. Things I fogot about. Next week seems interesting. Can't wait for a newbie.

[JQ Public]

i think its smart the way they show reruns b/c the reruns they show will directly relate to the new episode next week. IE hurley.

[Miss Mary]

I haven't watched yet but we have it recorded on our DVR. 5 minutes before it was to stop recording, hubby - non-Lost fan - wanted to cancel it, muttering - it's just a rerun isn't it? Let's just say it's a darn good thing he didn't touch that remote!!!! The reply I uttered back wasn't so nice he said.......LOL!!!! I then of course had to say the ep was from the first season, featuring a very popular character and I got that 'look' again - the non-Lost-fan look as if to say - TMI!!!!

I'll confess.....b/c my husband is not into Lost, can't get past the monster or polar bears on a tropical island bit, I do slip into Lost lingo a lot....for his benefit!!! Hey I've had to listen to talk about Jerry, Elaine, Kramer or George for years.....as if they are real people we know!

Mary

[wx247]

If he talks and talks about Seinfeld, it is only fair that you speak to him in LOST lingo.

[Miss Mary]

Garrett - there is worse - Yoda talk! LOL

Yes, sometimes we talk Star Wars, we do!!! he he

[Miss Mary]

A new take/critique on last night's rerun:

http://www.tvguide.com/TV/Watercooler/

TV Guide

Watercooler column

Lost
So first, click here to read Angel Cohn's reaction to this episode when it aired last March [I've posted it below]. Wow, it seems so long ago, when we were naive and just learning about the evil numbers. When we could be distracted by the eye candy of Boone and Shannon. When the hatch was just something we thought Locke was exploring to pass the time. Anyway, Lindelof and Cuse don't do anything without reason, so this rerun must be providing us with clues. Or at least reminding us of stuff we're supposed to be thinking about when next week's new episode comes around.

Rousseau: We've almost forgotten all about her. Where is she hiding? And is Desmond there, too? I bet they'll be back soon.

Hurley's darkish past: Not just the numbers curse — what exactly did he do to land in a mental institution? When the reporters showed up at his house after his lottery win, he said he'd "put my family through a lot recently."

Sam Toomi: The last guy with the numbers curse. I don't think there's any clue here, but I just want to mention how cool and pragmatic his wife was.

Locke: After last week, this interest he took in Claire doesn't quite seem as friendly and helpful as it did the first time around. He knew Sawyer's real name from the flight manifest — is that how he knew about Claire's birthday, too? (BTW, I wonder if the Sixteen Candles reference here was purely coincidental.) I don't think he's an Other, but it's starting to seem like he's very willingly acting like an instrument in their grand plan. Damn, this got me psyched for new episodes! — Sabrina Rojas Weiss

And just for comparison sake, here's the critique after the episode ran the first time:

Lost
So Hurley is a millionaire lottery winner who was falsely arrested. I totally thought it looked like a Cops episode when I spotted the hidden Hurley last week. That's an answer, of sorts, but as with everything else on this show, one answer means at least ten more questions. Like where the heck did those numbers come from? Why are they on that secret hatch that Locke's been trying to crack open? And why did they cause Hurley, I mean Hugo, to have such a string of bad luck? I mean the grandfather dying and sister-in-law having a lesbian affair could happen to anyone, but a priest getting struck by lightning during grandpa's funeral, witnessing a person falling from a skyscraper, or unknowingly owning a sneaker factory that burned down and caused employee deaths? That just ain't right. No wonder he thinks he's cursed. I'd believe him, especially if I was trying to screw in a lightbulb.

4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.... I'm already starting to mutter those numbers; soon I'll be playing Connect 4 solitaire. Let's see, according to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, 42 is the meaning of life and that was the special number on the lotto. OK, that's a start. Then if you double the four, from Connect 4 perhaps, and you get eight, it was 16 weeks since anybody had won the lotto and 15 and 16 are close together, and 23... yeah, I got nothing.

One thing I do know for sure: If I were Shannon and I saw Hurley, Sayid, Jack and Charlie trekking off into the woods, I would have been right behind them. What more could a girl need — a resourceful, golf-course-creating dude; a sexy, mysterious guy who she already knows is a good kisser; a hot doctor and a guitar-playing sweetheart. And if I were Jack or Sayid, I'd be diving into that ocean water to find out what kind of insane Atlantis thing was hidden under the sea that could manage to generate power. And I'm not just saying that so they'd have to take off their shirts or anything. — Angel Cohn


______________________

I need to stop rethinking all of these Lost scenes/episodes/comments!!!!

Before I close, does anyone else not quite trust Locke's interest in Claire and Aaron now? I'm starting to wonder about him, handmade baby cradle or not!

Mary

[wx247]

I have thought there was something wrong with him since the first episode... all the talk about the backgammon game... light and dark... the wound near his eye. All were signs that made me think he has a grand plan here.

[brunota2003]

I'm wondering if Locke was in the military before his box company job...I mean its all there, and he appears to have special forces (USMC Recon maybe???) training...i wonder if he really got hurt in a battlefield...it is pretty interesting...and he is my favorite character ^^

[Miss Mary]

Okay, here's a gem I stumbled upon on TV Guide's website...upon doing a St. Elsewhere search, of all things. This one Lost episode critique mentions both St. E and Days of Our Lives. If anyone is a Days fan, then they know who S. Dimera is! And I swear, when I finally got into Lost, shades of Dimera and the Ice Princess on General Hospital came to mind. Seriously! And now anyone younger than say 30, is asking - huh? LOL

WHOAAA!! What the...? Locke couldn't walk before the crash? You're messing with a lot of people, Mr. J.J. Abrams, so you had better have one pants-wetter of an explanation for all these freaky island twists, OK? Obviously, this isn't heaven, since there's no way that shrew Shannon could get past the Pearlies. And Hell would never have such good scenery. So that leaves us with either the Bermuda Triangle, one of the survivor's St. Elsewhere-y hallucinations or Stefano DiMera is behind it all. Oh, wait, that's Days of our Lives' "captive island" plot. Well, then I got nuthin'. But I can promise you two things: One, Locke did not kill that boar. And two, he knows what did. Why he's keeping mum about that and his pre-accident paralysis is as shady as, well, that undertaker-looking dude Jack keeps seeing over by the trees. Which, by the way, was only a wee bit more unsettling than that look the Korean lady gave Michael when he asked her to look after his kid. What's going on there, hmm?

[MSRobi911]

OK, not to be the bearer of bad news but my son showed me a web site, I'll have to ask him the specific site, but it said they were going to Kill Off Ana Lucia as soon as they could. That she was not an important character.......they hinted that she was a "witch" on set once raising he!! because she didn't have the creases ironed correctly in her boxers???? Since when do you iron boxers??? And then the drunk driving thing..... oh well...that would mess up the whole quadrangle (heheheehee) with Jack and Ana and Sawyer and Kate.

Oh yea, the comment about the scar on Locke's eye....he was cut during/after the plane crashed. He was bleeding from it when he realized he could feel his legs as he sat on the beach. He had a scab for a long time and now the scare is finally starting to fade a little bit.

We'll see what happens next week, I am anxious to see how they drag off Sun and why they would do it?
