I agree - just the first name that popped into my head.

Here's what I don't get - later Jack says that Kate was the one that helped everyone to shore (at the trial). How was she able to do that at 6mo pregnant?

And Jack's face when he found out that Claire was his sister - oh wow, the shock.

Yeah, that was awesome, shows Matthew Fox's excellent acting ability.

All they need is one of those big magnets like Wile E. Coyote used to get from Acme.

Haha. My theory is sort of along those lines.

I think that they can manipulate the unusual electromagnetic properties of the island. So the island itself doesn't move, but when view from the outside world, it appears to have. It's no longer at the same coordinates, there's a diferent bearing to get there etc.

You know in Japan there is a train that is run on magnets - basically they flip them over and it pushes the train along. I wonder if there is a huge magnet over the island that Locke is going to turn off and 'move' the island.

Sea turtles mate.

I feel so excited after watching this.

-I think the thing attached to Keamy's arm in the last episode is a detonator (for all the C4 on the boat)
-I also think that Michael is the other person responsible for Jin's death
-I'm gonna misss Jin
-The people Dan brought back: they were all redshirts except Jin, Sun and Aaron, right?
-MOAR MILES- my one and only complaint
-Jesus Christ in NOT a weapon!

BenAdam · May 16, 2008

Sawyer calling Miles Genghis was classic.

lovesdolphins · May 16, 2008

Sawyer looked awful holding Aaron when he came upon Kate and Jack.

About baby Aaron - Sawyer & Miles were out looking for her for a full day, then Kate took him to Sun - who took him to the freighter - that poor child has got to be starvin'.

Seeing the "6" in that plane was so sad. They all looked horrible. Loved the comment from the woman who said...."Oceanic 6...not good branding".

Obviously they're all keeping more of a secret than we know. Could the main thing be....all the other survivors are still really alive? We know that both Jack and Hurley want to get back to the island at some point in the future and that their lives are in shambles. They must be carrying a tremendous amount of guilt....over something.

And yeah, Jack looked so devastated when he found out about Claire.

I wonder if the second boatload of people will make it to the freighter before the island is "moved" and the bearings change??

I loved the reunion between Nadia and Sayid.

I think the real shocker is that Aaron is his nephew. That fits in with the earlier episode where he didn't want to see him.

latteda · May 16, 2008

Up until last night, I had assumed that Jack never found out that Claire was his half sister. I figured if he HAD known, he would have wanted to be a part of Aaron's life, but in prior episodes we saw that he didn't want to have anything to do with Aaron. I got tingles when he found out! Can you imagine?!

Hurley's mom always cracks me up. I loved the whole "Jesus Christ is not a weapon" bit.

AirPo · May 16, 2008

So what do you all think? Was the odometer reading really the LOST numbers or was it Hurley's halucinations starting to come back?

IMHO it was real. The Island is already telling them something.

Redguard · May 16, 2008

Any ideas as to who or what the Oceanic 6 are trying to cover up for?

Did any Star Trek: TNG fans notice that the Oceanic 6 Spokeswoman was Ensign Ro?

With Kate trying to pass Aaron off as her baby is such a risky thing, as the news reporter pointed out. There are so many people, doctors included, who could prove that her womb never carried a child, etc.

And I was wondering about Aaron getting hungry as well. He's walking through the jungle for hours and hours with no food!

GodrockDJ · May 16, 2008

Great episode, a good set up for the finale. I HATE that we have to wait two weeks, though. My thoughts, in random order:

- Loved the part where Sun stepped up and owned (literally) her jerk Dad. It makes me think though - Oceanic gave them settlements but how could it possibly have been enough for Sun to buy a company of her father's size? This is a realistic show. Didn't the employee talking to Mr. Paik say something about 5 accounts? Perhaps the other survivors helped her out
- Hurley's birthday party - An island themed party?! And what about the numbers on Hurley's car?!
- Sayid - the storyline with Nadia was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, knowing what we know about the future...
- Claire's Mom talking to Jack - Very sad scene. And how traumatic for Jack to learn about Claire (and Aaron) in that manner. And Claire's mom talking to Kate "Your son is beautiful" THANKS GRANDMA
- What is Ben's plan for dealing with Keamy & co.?
- I love Sawyer Being worried about Hurley, his reaction when he saw Kate, going off into the jungle with Jack "You don't get to die alone"
- Giant coverup conspiracy - The oceanic 6, and everyone at Oceanic, are lying about what really happened. Why??? And what happened?????!
- Also nerd tidbit - the oceanic representative on the helicopter and running the press conference was Ensign Ro from star trek:tng

Nerd minds think alike!

*NOT LOOKING NOT LOOKING NOT LOOKING*

I had a massive sinus headache last night and went to bed before lost. Now I somehow have to manuever through my day at work without hearing anything.

So if y'all don't see me until tonight or tomorrow, you'll know why. Gosh I bet it was awesome too. Bah.

snoochface · May 16, 2008

I need to watch the episode again. Was it clear that the Oceanic lady was covering up? Thinking back, my coffee-deprived brain does not remember if that was explicit or if maybe the survivors came up with the story and fed it to her, and she's just going with it. I mean, after she walked away Jack said, "We all know the story, if we don't want to answer a question we can just be quiet" -- right?
