polycounter lvl 19
holy moly, I wasn't expecting that.
that episode had me on the edge of my seat! Good to see Lost back on top form again, now it's really going somewhere.

So anyway, whaaaaaa!! To sum it all up, hehe.
Arthhhhhghhhg.
I've wondered often if the scientists are in the hatch area behind that big blocked off wall watching their experiment.
Then of course, there's the real possibility that the button maintains a magnetic equilibrium between the pole they have and the one the others have where Walt is was talking through the computer to his dad from.
Of course, his dad could have just gone bonkers and imagined the text, noone else saw it afterall.
Or the island may be the bermuda triangle dumping ground as there's been numerous hints toward time irregularity such as -
The Black Rock, the old army knifes not made anymore, the extreme aging of the drug runers corpse, the age different in the scots runer who bumped into the doctor in the stadium, the 40's music coming through on the radio, the french chick who's been there 16 years, the technology the others have, the presentation of the scientists video explanation of the island and so on.
When you through in the Sentinel that guards the island and its extremely futuristic technology, it could be plausible that it's a device from aliens put there to monitor the people they've stole from crashes and put on the island as a means to study them in an isolated and contained area.
The clues to the island being a self contained geographical oddity ( huh hyuk, 2 weeks from everywhere!) as first hinted at through the green lantern comic book Walt reads with the geodome, then when they try to escape on the raft, the current is going the wrong direction from which it should.
Then there's the whole beginning an episode with a pan out from a character's eye motif which continues to suggest mental or subconscious manipulation at least or as others have theorized, theres a collective subconscious will in the island that is perhaps godfathered by the Sentinel.
The Sentinel seems to read character when it comes close to them, images of their past flash throughout its cloudlike substance. On the other hand, perhaps it is programming them rather than reading them, certainly fear or escape seem to be the main triggers for its appearance.
Either way, it'll be a helluva ride finding out, as long as it doesn't confuse the 'simple folk' enough to cause it cancelled before my theories get disproved when the marines come in to rescue them after they work out where they crashed or something else annoying patriotic and cliched!
Judging by Alias, Abrams likes his back stories to be big and his explanations to be mythic and gargantuan so I'm just happy to watch on all optimistic and wide eyed

I have no theories for lost, all I know is that it's the most digestable sci-fi out there. and carrys a lot of common pschological refferences that are delivered in laymans terms - good news for us that have read a lot but now have run out!

what's frustrating is that there hasn't been any indication as to what brought the darn plane down.

Regardless, I'm totally hooked on the series. I personally think it is the best thing since <font color="green">X-Files</font>.
As for Lost's sister-series, Invasion, I'm only just now starting to get into it. I've been giving it a chance, but it is far from gripping.
Hey, was that the missus from Married with Children sleeping with Locke..? she looked a little different with her hair down, but that voice rings alarm bells.

it is. personally, i find it hard hearing that voice from someone with two eyes
Looks like we may have been fooled again into thinking something will be revealed.
I've already heard on the radio that the name that guy used was from the wizard of oz (ties into the hotair balloon). It suggests that he actually is one of the others (he's lying).
Oh, and did anyone else notice that was a picture of Kate that the one soldier was holding (Her dad)
Here's another thing I noticed...and I don't know if it was significant or not. The prisoner was beat badly...even Sayid said so. Yet he looked healthier after the beating than he did when he had the arrow sticking out of him. And what exactly was the prisoner staring at when the show ended? At first I thought it may have been at Jack, Sayid, or Locke. But for a guy who just got beat, he was very quiet and his gaze almost looked to be directed at the clock. Then again I'm only speculating. I'd like to see that episode again.
In other news: I thought for sure Sawyer was going to get himself poisoned by that exotic tree frog. Guess not.
Other observations I made, several tools were missing, but only Sayid only used the pliers.... then he dropped them in the room. When Jack pulled him out, the tools were left in there.
I did notice though, Henry didn't look very abused for just taking a beating. I found it odd also... could be just an oversight by the show though... we'll see
Unfortunately though, we won't see for a while. They are continuing their crap of showing one new show, then a re-run. So next week, I guess they are showing the first episode again. Then two weeks from now a new one is going to air (the preview from this week). Then they are running re-runs for two weeks following that.
I highly recommend NO ONE watch the re-runs. Let their ratings DROP for those days. It's irritating.
I think the character (played by Clancy Brown) that got Sayid to do the torture of his captain will end up playing a bigger role in the series. Clancy Brown just seams too good a character actor to play that small simple role in one episode. Just based on the way he was able to manipulate Sayid into doing what he did, makes me think he might be the puppet master behind whatever is going on. Again this is probably me just reading more into it than I should have but Clancy plays such a great creepy/evil guy.

While I may be disapointed, I still cannot help but think that Sawyer will save the day in the end...most likely by giving his own life for everyone else.

Still didn't get to see what happens though, just some hieroglyphics.

And a lot of noise, like a rocket beginning to launch. It is a countdown. And the blast doors. At this point, I'd continue pressing that button.
BTW, if you want to waste a lot of time figuring out clues, check out http://www.oceanic-air.com/. I know it's sort of old, because I saw this back in the first season, but I didn't realize there was so much hidden on that site. If you look at the source code and play around with the seating chart, you'll find some cool stuff. For instance, bring up the seating chart, then click a box in rows 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. All kinds of crazy shit happens
Holy crap, I just saw something on there that I hadn't seen before (in commercials). A video that says they are NOT the survivors... then it continues to say they are NOT the survivors they thought they were. Very odd. (To find it, click the row numbers themselves in the above order)
those glyphs on the clock, showed missiles
It's supposed to mean, cause to die
The guy from ep 14 here is called Henry Gail, which is an anagram of "hear lying". Considering the previous anagram, it's not a huge leap of faith to think that means something.
How come when he was kicking the crap out of Jack...did he bend over Jack like he either a) had a steel rod in his back or b) he was some kind of alien super human thing. He was just so mechanical in his movement. Very bizare. Watch that scene and you'll see what I mean.
