I only saw the first few episodes of Lost and was really into it but haven't been able to watch it since. Caught the re-cap last night and that was really really cool.

I just wanted to comment that I thought it was pretty hilarious that the producers made the wacko Ethan a Canadian. Plus the other 'evil' characters are Iraqui and French. Hmmmmm.....^_^

I watched it while playing in the computer.
Didn't notice much I hadn't already knew.

It did remind you of the unanswered questions.
The dinosaur like scream from the forest.
What ever ate the pilot.
Why the hand held radio couldn't transmit,
But the planes radio could.
Who answered the planes radio call?
What is the metal hatch?
What is the illness that made the woman kill the others of her group.(or had to kill them)

I was really disappointed with the recap of the response Boone got just before the plane fell. Originally, it sounded like "There were no survivors..." The following week, during the last week on... it sounded like the response was "We're the survivors..." And the recap was completely garbled!

Coincidence or did they want to hide a clue in the recap?

New episode this week.

Locke is in trouble.
He does need to explain alot of what happened but he is not
responsible for Boones death(directly).

They show Locke getting shot.
The whole group is angry.

I don't like manipulation of characters to make things work. I don't believe
anythng Boone said, would make Jack believe Locke murdered Boone.
Maybe the island is beginning to get to them, the sickness.
Jack has been fair to everyone beyond rational thinking. But in this case he is jumping to conclusions?

IMO everyone should want to hear what happened, then decide if it was murder or an accident. But from the scenes it seems everyone believes Locke
murdered Boone.
We'll see I guess.

They need to realize Locke is the reason they have survived. So they need to be sure before they condemn him.

I'm rewatching the show right now, and will have more comments after I watch it again later. For just a few comments.

- Notice how it rained on Locke on the beach and he leaned up to take it in and smiled.

- Locke and Ethan were shot during a rain storm.

- NC, and a general comment, Locke is seeming more sinister and less sympathetic as the season has progessed. It might just be a misguided moral compass, but his connection to the island might also be twisting him. And don't forget, Sawyer the Southerner is a con man and murderer and while Kate is yet to be assigned a nationality, she's a killer too (though Evangel... Mmm, Evangeline.. anyway, she's Canadian). Oh, and Jin's basically a mob goon. Oh, and further, Russeau has been on the Island for 16 years, I don't think anyone can blame her for being crazy.

- Fate, or Kismet running as a theme throughout Sayid's expostion.

- Anyone else notice what a mean person Shannon was to Boone before he died, but what a hysteric "widow" she became after?

- I had to consult the the tape, but Sayid and Assam aren't enjoyng beers, they're drinking tea from their steins.

It did remind you of the unanswered questions.

I know you got a lot of answers with last nights episode, but for those who missed the earlier episodes.

BN: The dinosaur like scream from the forest.
US: It's the Monster and Locke's connection to the Island when it gave him the boar.

BN: What ever ate the pilot.
US: The Monster. From what I have read, more data will be revealed before season's end.

BN: Why the hand held radio couldn't transmit,
US: Russeau's loop was interfering with it's transmission meaning her transmiter is more powerful. Also it's battery ran out. Sayid's second transmission attempt was foiled by (see below).

BN: But the planes radio could.
US: The same reason for the Monster, Hurley's lottery numbers and Russeau's perm still being intact after a decade and a half - sometimes you have to suspend belief and accept that a radio battery of indeterminate age could suddenly work.

BN: Who answered the planes radio call?
US: Still unanswered, but it appears that the survivors of Oceanic flight 815.

BN: What is the metal hatch?
US: This one is killing me. From what Locke and Boone dug up, it looks like a pod of some sort, and the light suddenly appearing during Boone's death episode is maddening. Did Locke see inside? What was inside? Why did it apparently answer his plaint? How did the Island know he'd toss the flashlight to Boone, and that Boone would drop it at precisely the proper place in the jungle to find it? Grrrr!

BN: What is the illness that made the woman kill the others of her group.(or had to kill them)
US: Given that we have about 5 hours of Island story/exposition to resolve even a portion of these "answered" (but further question inducing) questions, and about 4 hours of show remaining for season one - I'm guessing Russeau her expidition will be further addressed in season two...

I can't wait!!!!

I'm glad to have a new episode!

Here's some interesting stuff:

The game that they were playing on the TV in the apartment in Sydney was Half-Life. In this game you play a scientist working at a top-secret underground base. You are involved in an experiment that goes wrong and opens a portal to the parallel world Xen. This portal is used by aliens from other worlds that invades earth.

From episode 9 - Solitary: Danielle: "And Nadia, you left her too?"
Sayid: "She wasn't on the plane. She's dead... because of me."
Yet, according to the most recent episode, she is alive and well.
Did something happen between the day Sayid claimed his friends body and the day he boarded the plane?

In the Sayid flashback a lot is said about fate. How it was fate that brought Sayid together with his friend. FATE was one of the words that Charlie had written on his fingers.

According to the previews for next week Locke finally reveals the hatch to everyone. But Walt says not to open it. I think we are led to believe that because Walt is SPECIAL that he is able to discern what is in the hatch. Also let us not forget that the the evil numbers that Hurly used to bet on the lottery are written on that hatch!

I don't know why I doubt these writers.

They manipulated the scenes to make a whole new out come.

The actual out come was great, and within reason.

QUESTION: Why does the baby quiet when Sawyer is talking?
Question: Why didn't baby scream louder with hurleys singing?:sick:

Where is Sun?

Locke hit Sayed to prevent finding the location of the transmitter that has transmitted over 16 years.

Why has Locke lied again, facing a pistol, about the hatch?
But in next show, everyone seems to know about it?

A show full of questions. When will they be answered? Will they be aswered?:scratch:

Sayid should have told Shannon how killing someone changes you. He skirted it but didn't actually say it. You can not go back to being the same person.
Sometimes neccessary, but will always be with you.

These are some very interesting catches - especially the one about Nadia being dead/alive. I didn't catch that at all! I wonder if the video game is supposed to give any clues about what's going on on the island. Is the hatch the entrance to a secret underground lab? Hmmm!

What do you mean? What scenes were manipulated and/or changed?

QUESTION: Why does the baby quiet when Sawyer is talking?
Question: Why didn't baby scream louder with hurleys singing?:sick:

I thought this was hilarious - Charlie chasing Sawyer around with the baby, hehe! Babies sometimes react to certain people's voices. How ironic that the "bad guy" had the soothing voice, and the "nice guy" had the disturbing one :D

Where is Sun?

There have been a lot of episodes where not all the cast members were featured. I don't think it's significant that she wasn't in last night's episode. I thought it was nice how they showed the rest of the survivors at the funeral for Boone. It's not often we get to see them.

A show full of questions. When will they be answered? Will they be aswered?:scratch:

I don't think we're going to get anywhere near all the answers this season. That will be part of the suspense to bring us back next season. I think the finale will answer a lot, but as many answers as we get we'll also have that many (or more) new questions.

Sun tried to get both Jack and Claire to get some rest.

In the last scene with Locke and Sayid by the fire, Locke seemed to realize that his ideas about "doing what's best for everyone" might get him killed, so perhaps he'd better come clean about some of the things he's discovered about the island. I think that's why he finally reveals the hatch to Jack and Sayid next week.

Makes sense.

I must have missed that part.

Can someone catch me up and what has happened? Last I saw that one brother died. What has happened since then? Is the hatch talking? Anything I'm missing? I can finally catch the show tonight.

You can check out this site http://www.tvtome.com/Lost/guide.html It has episode recaps. The episode where Boone dies is episode 20. Then they aired a recap show. Then last week episode was #22, The Greater Good, which was Boone funeral and Sayid's background story. Hope this helps to catch you up.
