how about that psychic guy? that part creeped me out -

why do you think it is so important for her to raise the baby ALONE ?

don't forget: the message was playing for 16 years. they could've been on the island for a long time before that, had a kid, and then whatever happened came about and they had to launch the signal.

also, i'd like to note that i knew ethan was alex from the second they introduced him :p

kate is the hottest, she's got the whole package. and i prefer darker hair, so thats just me.

now here's a question for you: whats up with locke? the black/white stone symbolism thats coming out the wazzo (the dead bodies, the eyes in the dream, the board), how this island is exactly what he's always wanted, the naming convention that was obviously has purpose (locke and rousseau)? think he will turn/has turned to the dark side?

I had a couple of "Holy shit" moments during tonight's show. First being that they used Jack's story line at home again. He's already had an episode devoted to why he was on the plane, and it surprised me they'd give him more back story while other characters haven't had the chance.

The 2nd moment was during the "charlie part". I could think of nothing but, "Holy shit, no they aren't gonna let that happen". Of course they didn't, but I'll admit they had me convinced for a second there. It's great to see a show that's remained this entertaining, and not some show that I lose interest in because the writers gave up after an interesting premise.

Now I know why I wait for all of the cliff hanger series (24, alias, etc) to come out on DVD before I watch them! @#$%! no new episode next week! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I've given up trying to guess the direction of the show. I originally thought it was that they all died in the crash and this was some kind of purgatory, but now I'm leaning more toward a "St. Elswhere"/"This is all a dream" deal.

underground tunnels, possibly underground city
i get the feeling locke is somehow connected to them

What a great show!
Now I need some clarification. I think they said that that show was either the seaon finale or "the last new show this year". I assume the latter is correct, right? I just couldn't imagine that last night's show was it.
I don't think it's an underground city. It might be a hiding place or an old plane wreck.
Either way, it's a wicked show.

Yeah, just the last show for this year.

The Charlie thing.... God, that was SO well done. When they showed him hanging from the tree I gasped. I knew he wasn't going to die, but the whole time I'm sitting there saying "NoNoNoNo they can't do this, he can't die, COME ON CHARLIE!" They had me, damnit. When Kate came over and told Jack it was over, well let the waterworks begin.

This is such a fucking good show.

The interaction between Hurley and Walt was so cute. More Hurley! More Walt!

averett i was right there with ya. the hole time charlie was laying there i was like noooooooo! i wanta know whats underground thats going to be interesting.

While watching last night's episode, my wife turned to me and said, "This is getting too scary." I smiled and nodded, but the truth was that I had been scared shitless for about half an hour before that. This show IS getting scary...

dag i missed the entire episode. i got to check it out on saturday.

For a few episodes it was a little too drama for me, but the last two have been excellent. I really want to know whats going on again. I was very sceptical of the whole series, but I'm really enjoying it.

You might be SOL. They haven't been showing repeats on Saturdays lately.

When Locke threw the flashlight, I though he was setting that guy up so that he could hit him over the head and then go join "them." The writers do a great job of making you think Locke is evil and then showing you that he's still good (and viserversa).

Fantastic episode!

The interaction between Walt and Hurley while playing Backgammon was kinda curious.
I get the feeling Walt has some kind of powers or extraordinary good luck going for him.
(except perhaps when it comes to planes) ;)

I wonder if that's what the writers were going for?

I can't believe I am gossiping about a show... :)

I finally watched it last night. My main question is, why does Ethan or the "others" want a pregnant lady?

thats just one of many more
hopefully that will get answered sooner or later
so keep watching and maybe you'll find out, we don't know either.

i kinda felt that charlie was gonna pull through after having seen jack lose the patient & all the fighting he did to try to revive her to no avail... I just knew he would keep going after kate told him to stop.

to me it seemed like they set up the show to focus on hurley's past but then gave me the twist when they went back to jack

this show could last 5 seasons just telling the past stories & all the related twists ( I wanna know more about kate)

i haven't given much thought to walt - i will have to incorporate him into the bigger picture... if locke can have extraordinary things happen to him - then why not anyone else?

what are your thoughts on charlie not able to remember anything... except that '...thats what THEY want..."

I wonder what that metal object that Locke and the other guy were digging up. Is it a part of a underground base or a space craft. But yea I want to know more about hurley too.

P.S. They had to make us wait for two weeks, damn bastard.

new episode tomorrow night who's going to watch? i read this off excite about it...

Whatever the Case May Be: Jack, Kate and Sawyer fight over possession of a newly discovered locked metal briefcase which might contain insights into Kate's mysterious past; a rising tide threatens to engulf the beach and fuselage.

Yeah I'm excited about it :)

It's been too long I've had to go without my Lost fix.

Hmm... That description of the new episode seems to leave everything that happened in the last new episode up in the air.

The Spoiler tags, learn them, use them, love/loath them. ;)

Why is that? America usually show an episode (of any given serie) every week right?

Yea, but it's typical for shows to go on hiatus for a couple weeks around the holidays. Plus they show repeats every once in a while. So we see a whole season (20+ episodes) from September-ish to May-ish.

yeah I figured it was because of the seasons but I thought I'd ask anyway to hear if the delay was caused by something else. Your network stations have never delayed some of the episodes (of any given show) on purpose in order to gain more audience, raise the suspence etc have they?

I'm pretty sure they plan the season out with ideas like that in mind. They probably try to figure out the best scheme of showing new episodes vs. showing repeats is. But under most circumstances, a show that's at least moderately popular won't be shuffled around at a moment's notice, if that's what you mean.


Is it too soon to talk about tonight's episode? I'll try to be somewhat vague :). Well, I was kinda disappointed. Not much happened, really. Kate's back-story was fun, although what I was hoping to be the big revelation turned out to be the big let down, I felt. I guess they'll fully explain what that trinket is later on. But I wanted to know more after sitting through the whole episode... oh well, at least the promo for next week looked exciting.

I'll just comment on this for now...Evangeline Lilly can kick some ass!
I could certainly buy her as an action star if she wanted to go that route.

As far as I'm concerned, we can talk about anything after the show is over on the East coast. People in other areas should realize that we've watched it and might talk about it. Just like the times when I've recorded it, I have to stay away from the thread until I watch it ;)

I liked last nights show. The Kate story was pretty predictible. As soon as she was in the bank, I knew there would be a robbery and she would be in on it. Didn't know she was gonna shot folks though... And she said "The man I killed." So she at least killed one man, possibly all 3 involved with the robbery. The trinket is interesting, I'm sure we'll learn more about that.

The dead folks underwater.... creepy!

Love connection between Siaid and Shannon?

Locke bashing Boone upside the head? Awesome!

I love this show..

I took it that the airplane was a previous man's uh.. toy?... and that Kate just used the other three guys to get in and get it. They better explain that thing further. I was really disappointed that they sort of just dismissed what happened in the last new episode and pursued another thread. I guess I shouldn't be suprised though based on past episodes. :)

New to the thread, pretty cool reading.

I really didn't like the little plane toy, I just don't get the value in it.

I want to learn more about what locke has found

damn... cant believe ive missed this thread....

i was pretty disapointed by this episode... didnt address many of the cliff hangers from last episode...

but i really wanna find out more about that metal tunnel thing locke found...

I was also a little dissapointed in last nights episode, given that after making us wait two weeks they didn't mention anything from the last episode :p Other than that I enjoyed it. I also saw possible beginnings of some relationships between a couple of the major characters. Maybe Kate has some kind of a bad-boy syndrome and thats whats fueling her interactions with Sawyer :lol:

Yeah I think Kate is exactly like Sawyer, except she has no morals.

The only thing from last week is the metal tube and Charlies recovery

and Kate swimming in the pond :thumbsup: :thumbsup: i liked that VERY much!

Probaly way off, but is the airplane in the case the same as the airplane they crashed in?

Radioguy mentioned Kate swimming in the pond... A highlight for SURE!

I also wished they had tied up the loose ends from the last new show of 04 but looking at the previews it appears more is uncovered including the Locke busting up Boone, and I guess Sayid gets a like-on for the female Boone. T'is a wicked show. T'is.

Brilliant move to not tie up loose ends. We're still talking about the stuff from 2 episodes ago, aren't we? ;)

Actually, the safety deposit box that Kate got the airplane from was 815. The same as the flight number of the crashed plane.

Dun dun DUN!!!

damn you're observant. i never noticed the correlation.

I didn't notice it either ;) I read the recaps on www.televisionwithoutpity.com, the recaper pointed it out.

I wish I were that observant!
