3 X 2 : The Glass Ballerina

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Finally! Sawyer got some action, but not the kind you were thinking. They have been building up to Sawyer getting his revenge and tonight was just a peek of what’s to come. I don’t want to see a shootout at the “Others” Corral, I want to see Sawyer get down and dirty with his revenge. Maybe Sayid will find them on the “long walk” he is referring to and will help Sawyer and Kate escape. Hm, this is proving so far to be a very exciting season! I can’t wait until next week! AND, Eko gets pulled underground by the monster… ugh! I can’t stand the wait!

1. Falling glass ballerina. I think this had two purposes. One was to show us Sun is so not above lying. She even knew the maid would get fired for what she did and she looked right in her dad’s face and lied. More on this to come I’m sure. Second, the fallen ballerina symbol. First she was innocent and then fell and broke, just like the statue. Sayid knew she was lying about why she was on the boat. I wonder why.

2. Sayid “was” circumnavigating the island using Danielle’s map. Does Danielle know where the Other’s camp is? She knows that the monster is a security system; maybe he should ask her what it’s for. Would Sayid have found the camp had they kept going? I can’t believe they outsmarted him when they came from the water. Back in season one they came from the water when the killed Steve/Scott, has he forgotten in 69 days? But he does tell them they have a long walk ahead, I think he is going to keep looking for Jack and co. What does he have to lose now that Shannon is dead?

3. I am still undecided which way Juliet is going to go. She seems so cold yet has a hold on Ben. He seemed actually jealous that she made soup for Jack (No soup for Ben!). My initial reaction is that Jack intrigues her because of whatever they know about him and what they want from him. But the fact that she could kill Kate without flinching shows that she has a very different side. However, if Jack stays with the others, like I suspect he will, there could be some silly little love affair they are going to develop with Juliet and Jack. (*gag, cough*)

4. Jack appears to be giving up his will to fight. More to come on this later. But the way he just sits in the corner…. is his story line about over now that he has made peace with the Sara story? I want to see him at least reunite with the Losties!

5. Ben was genuinely surprised that the Losties *had* a sailboat. He seems to be the know-it-all voyeur on the island, how could Desmond have had this boat all this time and he didn’t know it? Kelvin was restoring it even. Guess maybe that is the sign to viewers that Ben can’t know everything.

6. Again, Colleen comes up to the cages so quickly after supposedly being “underground” where Jack is being held. Makes me think that they just have him in some type of aquarium, not underwater.

7. Sun is not looking well. Now that the magnetic pull is gone (from the hatch) are we going to start seeing the medical miracles fail? Will her miracle pregnancy miscarry? Will Rose get sick again? Will Locke lose his ability to walk (of course not fellow skeptics because his was all psychological). But she could have the *sickness.*
lm_lost4.jpg Click to enlarge

8. OK, did Sun or didn’t she with Mr. Teacherherenglish (Lee)? I gasped at first because I didn’t want to believe that she did it, or him. Then she said she couldn’t and when he stood up he had pants on. So ha! She didn’t! Doesn’t mean she doesn’t with someone else right before she gets on the plane, but not with Lee!

9. Have you seen the movie or read the book Holes? These writers are definitely readers. In the book, these juvenile delinquent boys are brought to the middle of the desert to dig holes as punishment for whatever crime they committed. The idea is the break their spirit. I think that is exactly what is going on here. I don’t think that any of the people in the background were doing any real work, they were just props put there by the Others to appear as if there was a chain gang. But the Others want to see these two break, much like they did to Jack. Lucky for us Sawyer is so much stronger and smarter than that. I only wish he would realize there is a DAMN CAMERA watching them. OF COURSE THERE IS! But, in the book there is actually buried treasure the boys are digging for, they just don’t know it. I have said before there might be some “gold in them there hills” (maybe not gold, but it fits the phrase) and that there is mining going on here.

But what were The Others looking at under the tent? Was it blueprints? Plans for what? More houses, airstrip, a hatch perhaps?

10. So does Jin really know that Mr. Lee was trying to hook up with Sun or is he just taking his frustration at Mr. Pak out on him? I knew he wouldn’t kill the guy, didn’t he have a similar issue in an earlier episode when the guy in the white suit showed up to finish the job? Someone obviously threw Mr. Lee off the balcony and purposely onto Jin’s car.

11. Sayid says they’ve only been sailing for one day when they find the dock where Jack and co. were taken. So it can’t be that far from the camp. Why hasn’t anyone ventured out after 69 days to try and find this kind of thing? Fear my friends. Fear of the unknown, of the Others. The scary, dirty savage costumes the Others wear. The plan worked.
lm_lost5.jpg Click to enlarge

12. Alex asks Kate about Karl. Will Kate at some point have more conversation with her and somehow bring up Danielle? Kate knows that her daughter was taken and my guess would be that there aren’t very many female Alex’s that you will run into on this island!

13. Sun wanted Jin to run away from her father together and start a new life. Guess she got her wish. Why would she want to even go back – oh yeah, outside of the Others that kill people now and again.

14. Jin understands English better than Sun thinks, huh? Does he know about the Cluckety Cluck? Did he understand Hurley telling him that his wife was hot? What else does he know?

15. I don’t like soap operas and definitely DO NOT want to see this show lean towards daytime crapola, but I really enjoyed the scene where Sawyer just drops what he’s doing and kisses Kate and she doesn’t seem to mind. Sure, he had motives outside the kiss but come on! That was passion! My boyfriend says he dumps the water as if to say, ” I don’t need your water, I need her!”
lm_lost6.jpg Click to enlarge

16. Sun had a red shirt on when she was on the boat. I thought for sure she would die but I guess she hasn’t changed yet!

17. Jin yelling for the sailboat was heart wrenching, just like when Michael was calling for Walt. But overall this week he seemed like he was going back to his old jerky ways (grabbing Sun, yelling at her to obey him. Ick!)

18. New nickname for Kate: Shortcake. She tastes like strawberries. He tastes like fish biscuits so should his nickname be SeaBass?

19. I’m going to have to get into my screen caps for this one, but Ben is watching 6 screens. Looks like two views of Jack, one on Sawyer, one on Kate and maybe two on the entrance to whatever hatch they are in?
lm_lost7.jpg Click to enlarge

20. Benjamin Linus (?) and has been on island his whole life? Need to check this out more… must be some significance in that name.

21. Why would they send Jack home if he cooperates? Is there a home to send Jack to? What does he even have to go back to? His career, maybe. His wife and dad are gone and perhaps his reputation over the Sara/lover witch hunt that he was on last week. Will Jack want to go home or will he think that whatever is going on here is good in the name of science? Will he fall in love with Juliet (*gag, cough*)?

22. Gets me thinking we are seeing a theme here this week… did they or didn’t they infidelity. Sara and ??, Sun and Mr. Lee. Who will it be next week because it’s Locke’s flashback!

23. Reflection of Red Sox on Jack. You could just feel his pain and desire to be home. How much would you miss your life if you were here? Plus Jack’s dad told him some line about the Red Sox never winning the world series. Ironic for Jack.
lm_lost8.jpg

24. I think that the writers were talking to us (viewers) again this week through a Jack/Ben dialog. Jack wants to know where Kate and Sawyer are and Ben gives them a short answer and says that is all he can tell him. Jack says he can tell him anything he wants and Ben responds that he can but that is all he wants to tell him right now. Then he tells Jack that he needs patience. Hmm, seems like a message to me!

25. Next week looks SO GOOD! Locke running from the monster! Eko getting taken underground! Desmond with no underpants!
lm_lost9.jpg Click to enlarge

26. Oh crap, they took the sailboat! Maybe now Desmond will be p-od too at The Others.

27. I’m still questioning if the *whispers* in the jungle were coming from this group of Others. Seems like they are into observing but I haven’t seen much more that that….yet!

Lost Hall of Shame Part 2

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

Hm. If traffic arrests are indications of your lifespan on this show (remember Michelle and Cindy’s mishaps?) then Adewale isn’t coming out of that hatch after all!

eko.jpg

Looks like Mr. Akinnuoye-Agbaje (no wonder he likes EKO) went joy riding without his any license on Saturday and also forgot to obey the police officer. Oopsies! Not a very exciting story until you realize the last two that had police run-ins mysteriously were killed off the show.

Eko “must” be alive!

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

I was reading back in “LOST, The Official Magazine” Issue 4, a Q & A with Damon (I’m not even going to tell you who that is because you should know by now!). Here is one of the questions that when I first read it I didn’t take much note but the season finale had not yet aired. Now it seems to have much more meaning.

lost_eko_smoke.jpg

Q. “On the Internet, I saw that someone with TiVo saw 10 different images in the ‘monster’s’ smoke. I went home to my old-fashioned VCR and, going frame by frame, I could see a very fuzzy image of a man and another of a lady. Are the images important for us to freeze frame and debate meaning of, or are they just some interesting little things that you’ve added for people who have more sophisticated equipment?

A. …. To answer your question … The images in the smoke are ALL very relevant. Some make sense to you now (like the church from Eko’s flashback), some will make sense to you LATER (like the woman with the headdress)…but all of them are there for you guys, so debate away!!!

Jesus, stick

Monday, July 17th, 2006

I was browsing through my screencaps and found this close up of the Jesus stick.  No real relavance right now, just found it interesting.  I am sure we will find out more about this in Season 3.  Eko *has* to be alive as his story is so interesting and there seems to be so much more to tell.  Click on the image to make it large and then you can read the words on the stick.

Will they stay or will they go?

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Locke and Desmond are alive!  Eko, well, his fate is unsure as of yet.

Locke – We haven’t learned enough of his story yet for him to have died.  We don’t know why he was in the wheelchair.  We don’t know the story about Helen #2 yet.  What about Randy?  Is there more connection there with Hurley?  How did Locke know Hurley’s real name (probably from working in his box company).  Plus, the guy is popular with the fans.

Desmond – Now that Penny is in the picture we need to see true love prevail.  However, more simply, the actor is signed on for next season.

Eko – He is popular with fans and that is probably his only saving grace.  We know enough of his backstory that he could be on the chopping block.  I mean, are we to believe that all three of these guys survived the *incident*?  Someone may have to be the sacrificial “lamb” and who better to serve in this role?

Live together, die …. together?

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Initial thoughts.  Those two hours were JAM PACKED and it needs another *looksie* for more thoughts.

1.  Charlie is having serious post-traumatic issues.  He doesn’t seem to understand what happened.  He seems surprised Locke and Co. aren’t back yet when Bernard asks where they are.  He seems confused when Claire mentions the “violet sky,”  He is just way to jovial to not be in shock.

2.  Michael is going to die.  Will he come back to help his friends first?  Who knows, but there is no way that they are just going to let him go that easily.  Maybe Walt will talk him into going back for the DAMN DOG and something will happen to Michael.  It would be cool if it was set up that Sawyer ends up being a foster parent for Walt.

3.  What was Desmond in prison for?  Seems he was set up by Penny’s dad.  Mr. Widmore sure doesn’t want his daughter with Desmond.  He goes so far to send him to this experimental island?

4.  How does Penny know about the island?  I loved the last scene, it was so X-Files-esque.

5.  I don’t think that Desmond, Locke and Eko are dead.  But I sure wish someone would go check out the hatch.  Especially after the Quarantine door came flying to camp.  Hello?

6.  Sayid will go and save Jack, Kate and Sawyer.  We could see Sayid back on the boat during the *incident* and I’m sure once he hears Hurley’s story he will find a way to save them.  Plus we are talking about the 3 main characters.  They have to be saved.  But it sure would be cool to see where The Others are going to take them.

7.  What was the look between Jack and Kate right at the end?  It seems they have something in mind but by the look on Sawyer’s face he was not part of the plan.

8.  Libby so set up Desmond.  She *HAD* to be put up to giving him that boat.  Did she have a deal similar to Michael – was she trying to get someone back and had to deal to help get all of the survivors on that island in order to get her loved one back?  Plus, she really looks crappy as a red head.

9.  I don’t believe that Desmond made the plane crash.  You are telling me that the magnetic force was so powerful that it pulled down a plane from the sky, but the cans of food on the beach only fell off of the shelves?  No way.  Yes, the instruments were probably messed up and yes, the people on the plane were meant for this island, but I don’t think that Desmond’s close call with the buttons was the cause.  I think that the pilot may have made errors because of the instrument malfunction, yes.  But there are too many connections not believe they are supposed to be there.  I think that the reason *The Others* wanted the list so badly was because they needed to know who survived the crash.

10.  Desmond knows about The Others, but how?  He refers to them as “The Hostiles.”  At some point he must have left the hatch and had some sort of encounter.  Desmond just has way too much story left to tell for him to be dead. 

11.  What was up with the $42,000 reward from the boat race?  42 is one of the numbers.  Coincidence?

12.  The big bird that flies down towards Jack and co.  I had read last season during my research that the Black *Roc* is a mythological bird.  Connection?  Does it have a connection to the *monster*?

13.  The big foot on the beach.  Four toes?  Where *is* the rest of the statue?  Was it destroyed in the last *incident*?

14.  Desmond’s story is so disturbing and sad.  It’s one of those life stories that makes you look back and say, “What if…”  What if Desmond had read Penny’s letter back in prison?  Would there have been a happy ending to his love story or would he have ended up exactly in the situation he is in?

15.  We hear the whispers right before Sawyer & friends get poison darts.  We assume it’s these Others but could it have been the “good” Others warning them that the “bad” Others were coming?

16.  There is much more to discuss…. will continue since we have *all summer* to go over this one.  But I thought this had to be the best season finale I have ever seen…. 

17. Still to discuss: Kelvin, rip in his suit, volcanic rock, Rudinski (I think that was his name), fabric softner paint, stuck in a “snow globe,” Mr Widmore, Desmond in prison, more on Libby, answer to riddle, Charles Dickens, Sawyer’s comment about aliens, Sayid praying, Hanso commercial, the original incident, the Swan key, the new incident, the hole in Kelvin’s suit, the boats, the ferry, Fenry, ah, and I’m sure there is much more!

Three Minutes

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

1. Widmore bullets.

2. There can be no doubt that this was not Walt talking to Michael. Unless he was some sort of prodigy Boy Scout, how would he know that he was North? He tells Mike that he is being held by the rock with the big HOLE, but isn’t that a convenient landmark?

lost_computer_screen1.jpg lost_computer_screen.jpg lost_computer_screen2.jpg Click to enlarge

3. Why do the Others want these four specific survivors? They don’t seem to be *good* like the tailies that they took. The only theory that I have so far is that these four have seen things on the island that do not possibly belong there. Jack saw his dad. Kate and Sawyer saw the horse. Hurley saw Dave. Eko and Locke’s visions don’t count because they came to them in dreams. But I don’t know yet how the Others know that they have had these visions unless they have somehow induced them.

lost_mike_list.jpg Click to enlarge

4. What happened to Kate? She is so scruffy! Just because you’re stranded on an island with killer Others is no reason to leave the hatch without some lip gloss! Get it together girl!
lost_kate_season_2.jpg Earlier this season

lost_kate_dirty_clothes.jpg Now

5. Um Mike, you’re not going North. Plus, I thought compasses weren’t supposed to work on the island?
lost_mike_compass.jpg

6. Hell. For some reason a Squirrel Nut Zipper song comes to mind… *In the afterlife…* Oops, off on a tangent. Anyway, Mike asks Eko about hell which seems to spark a story that is remarkably meaningful considering the situation. Me thinks Mr. Eko knows human nature and has already figured out Mr. Mikey’s crime. Why else pick the story about the boy “protecting” his sister and as long has he was “sorry” he would not go to hell. It also is very Shakespearean “Out damn spot” when he is trying to clean the blood off the floor.

7. Michael puking. Is this from guilt or drug withdrawal or both? I still think this guy was drugged and that is the only way I can see the audience forgiving him for his crimes.

8. Immunizations. I wonder how this is going to play into next season? Charlie has injected himself to see how it would feel before Claire gives it to the baby. Was he injecting himself with a virus or immunizing himself?

lost_charlie_immunizations.jpg Click to enlarge

9. Kate must have amnesia. Zeke is standing talking to Mike right as Jack and co. walk up in the jungle. He tells Mike, “If you make a sound you’ll never see your boy again.” I watched this back and Kate is right there when he says this. Why hasn’t she said anything about this? She has to know they were talking to Michael.

10. “Caught in a net,” I like this new Sawyerism. However, I don’t think that Sawyer was buddying up to Jack or thinks that they are now BFF’s. I think that Mr. Sawyer knows that he has given up his edge by handing over the guns so he needs to be on the good side of the survivors if he plans on getting back his hold. I also think that he was so eager to hand over the guns now is because of his own guilt over Walt being kidnapped and Sawyer wants his own revenge. Plus he has some unfinished business with Mr. Friendly. Showdown at the OK… hatch?

11. Eko’s cross being drawn to the wall is a *nudge* to us to remember that magnetic wall. I hear that it’s going to be opened up this week so we can see what is back there. Any guesses? Probably not Jimmy Hoffa.

lost_eko_cross_magnetic.jpg Click to enlarge

12. Poor Charlie. Building this church gave him purpose, not to mention he was like a kid telling his girl that he had a new job, when he was talking to Claire. I wonder if Charlie will try and enlist some help to get it done. Bernard is probably not busy.

lost_charlie_church.jpg Click to enlarge

13. I have a theory about the rock with the big hole and about what the symbol on the Other’s hatch is. I think that this rock was put there as a symbol to any ships coming ashore to know where to dock on the island. It’s their lighthouse if you will. I think that the symbol on the hatch is a door. It is the entryway to the island. I would guess that if you opened the doors you would find a corridor that leads out to a dock where the seabilly’s boat is hidden. There is probably some sort of cutout in the rocks that makes the dock secluded and hidden from view. If they are keeping Walt in this area it would explain why he is wet when he appears around the island (this would be a damp area). If I’m wrong, then I would guess it leads underwater to a different hatch.

lost_mike_rock.jpg lost_door.jpg lost_door2.jpg Click to enlarge

14. Didn’t the Others camp seem a little too set up like a Hollywood movie set? No one seemed all that surprised to see Michael and their little camp was so quaint with their villagers milling about at their tents with their drying fish. Not to mention the guns and needles. I don’t think that this was a production error but just the Others going with their image (remember the spirit glue and fake beards)? All here to keep up the facade for the survivors.

15. I’m guessing in season 3 we are going to see Miss Klugh show up in a flashback. Didn’t she sound remarkably similar to the custody attorney when she questioned Michael on why he knew so little about Walt?

lost_mrs_klugh.jpg Click to enlarge

16. Scott called it right away when Sayid grabbed both of Michael’s hands. He was checking his pulse and his palms to see if Mike way lying. Sayid is good! But why wouldn’t Sawyer or Jack be suspicious of why Mike wouldn’t want the only “real” soldier to go into battle with them? Wouldn’t you want a trained soldier going with you for your kid instead of the overweight goofy guy? Is it just me here folks?
lost_handshake.jpg Click to enlarge

17. Even more than a Charlie – Claire reunion, I want to see a Charlie – Locke friendship back. Maybe they’ll build the church together. Locke seems to take inspiration from Charlie here as he just cuts off his cast and heads back to the hatch. Can’t wait to see Locke’s version of letting go! Plus, I think that the writers knew that they couldn’t keep the audience interested in a story line that required a button to be pushed every 108 minutes. They are killing Locke’s obsession and our imprisonment to this story line.

lost_charlie_look_atlocke.jpg Click to enlarge

18. The scene with Mike and Walt was weird. If Walt hadn’t hugged him I would have thought he was projecting himself again. But Walt did say that they were pretending however I don’t think that Mike is taking this into consideration. He is taking them at face value.

19. Boat. Will they find Desmond asleep on the boat? I thought originally that the Others might have sent a boat over as a *nudge, nudge, remember your mission* to Mike but then I remembered that Desmond had a sailboat and he has probably been working on it since he left the hatch. Guessing that he would like to get off of this rock and back to the world now that he knows it hasn’t blown up… or so he thinks! Will he take the boat next season and sail off with some of the survivors?

Mystery hatch observation

Monday, May 15th, 2006

Mittlewerk’s video shows workers in the tv to the left of his shoulder as he discusses the *observation* that they are to complete and record.

lost_drmittlewerk_tvbehind2.jpg Click to enlarge

Now look at the scene when Locke and Eko are watching the video. The Swan hatch is in the top *right* corner and the left corner is just static. Wonder which hatch that is?

lost_pearl_tvs2.jpg Click to enlarge

?

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

Wow, what a great episode!

1. Whoa, is Michael high or what? Remember how drugged and brainwashed Claire was? She was about a .04 to Michaels 2.5! I think that is why part of the preview next week is in black and white (his stoned memory) and we can see *someone* injecting Michael, similar to what we saw Ethan doing to Claire. This is also the only way “we” and the survivors will ever forgive him, too.

2. So how are The Others manipulating their dreams like this? Is it in the water? Is it in the trees thus in the smoke coming from the fire? Is it in the fruit or meat that they are eating? Somehow they are manipulating the survivors’ minds…

3. I think that Locke was originally brought to the plane (through a DREAM) to find the hatch but because of Boone’s *accident* the plan was put on hold. But his legs were also disabled the first time he came here leading me to believe he is not supposed to climb. Why?

4. OK, so Eko wakes up in the night, grabs the axe and tells Charlie, “I’m going to get John.” SCARY! They give him some great set ups, don’t they?

5. Eko is starting to sound like Locke did last season. He asks Locke if he has ever followed a dream. He tells Locke that they should wait for further instructions (once at the plane). His faith is now pulling Locke on.

6. Funny line – when Eko is looking at the map and he asks John if something is a river and he responds that no, it’s a wavy line. Tsk, tsk. Sarcasm.

7. Poor Hurley, he already thinks that he is cursed because of the numbers and now Libby is dead for what he thinks was his fault. Wonder who he’ll see now on the island? And will he ever figure out how he knows her? Her story never went anywhere.

8. Claire’s psychic. He’s a fraud, shocker, right? But, what I think is interesting is that he told Eko that he gathers info and then exploits people. I think that he was doing this to manipulate Eko. He conned Claire into getting on the plane so did he just con Eko the same way? He *pretends* that his daughter is a fake then sends her to the airport to talk to Eko? Is Eko’s monseniour somehow involved and that is why he sent him to investigate the miracle?

9. The ground was salted so nothing would grow around the question mark. Eko indicates that this is so that anyone flying above will see it. Makes me wonder what kind of other markers there may be around the other hatches. Why make these markers? Well, we are supposed to find out why the plane crashed to begin with so maybe we will find this out in the next couple of epis.

10. I couldn’t tell what was on the table in the observation hatch. It looked like a cigarette and trash, but my sis thought maybe it was heroin and empty packs.

11. Orientation video. The doctor uses a different name and sure does look younger. He was Marvin Candle for The Swan but now says that he is Dr. Mark Wickman. Video was dated 1980. Also, the Swan video was reel-to-reel and this one was VHS.

12. There was dust on the journals that the participants were supposed to write in, but the thingy that carriers them was still working. TV’s looked dated but still worked. Where is the power coming from? Where is the PALA FERRY that takes them back when their 8 hour shift is over?

13. Scott and I examined the numbers on the printout but could not see the pattern. Is it a date followed by some type of time stamp? The pattern consists of eight numbers beginning with 41602 then 3 numbers. They vary from 41, 05, 29 and 23. Is the first set the date?

14. I want to know what all the other tv’s in the new hatch were for? Could they need all of those just for the Swan OR could they be watching other places (the jungle?) or other hatches?

15. Here are the clips from Eko’s first dream”

– Eko’s POV from the water when he is washing ashore after the crash
– Black smoke Eko saw in the jungle
– Dead body floating in water
– Necklace on brother in Africa
– Feet of the Others (children) walking through jungle (with the teddy bear, remember?)
– Campfire
– Jin blindfolded
– Statues of Mary that the lady was selling in Africa
– Charlie and Eko watching the drug plane burn
– Eko’s brother talking to him in the church
– Dharma symbol in hatch (w/arrow)
– Bible from the crate in the other hatch
– Jesus stick
– Skeleton of brother from drug plane
– Locke looking scared
– Eko behind the black smoke
– Brother – Eko getting the cross necklace
– Plane taking off, brother yelling and then guards coming up in jeep
– Dr Candal from Orientation video
– Dharma Swan log in hatch
– This all followed by Eko coming into the hatch and finding his brother sitting at the computer telling him that the work being done there is important.

16. Eko’s fake passport was dated 14 April 04.

17. Sawyer was again showing a very soft side. He was willing to give up his stash that he worked so hard to con in order to keep Libby from suffering. Then he comforts Kate. Nice.

Reckoning.

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

After watching with the thought in mind that THEY want us to see these *specific* clips, here is my list I call

(insert creepy echo) “Thoughts and Questions”

1. Arrow on the hatch door where the Tailies were staying. What does it mean? We know the medical hatch had a caduceus so what is this?

2. *Orientation* video indicated that they were to stay in the hatch for 540 days. Desmond says he has been there 3 years. What happened?

3. L-O-V-E-D the Locke quote after watching the film. “We’re gonna need to watch that again!” Yes we are!

4. Ana recounts the number of tailies that were taken by the Others. What happened to them? Why chose them and not any other survivors? Why take so many tailies and so few of the mid-section-ers?

5. I still think that Kate poisoned someone in her past. I saw her getting Sawyer to drink and it reminded me of my theory. We have seen alot of clues leading us to this (poison to Michael (meant for Jin), drugging Jack to get him to sleep, etc…).

6. LOVE the scene where Eko comes out of the woods with Sawyer over his back. “Where’s the doctor?” Classic TV.

7. OK so the guys from the raft come out of the woods and did you see how happy everyone was to see them? Wouldn’t you be like, holy crap, there goes our chance to get saved? I would.

8. Hurley told LIbby she looked familiar. Did he forget?

9. Eko’s stick with the bible references, what was up with that?

10. Mike on the computer. OK, so you’re stranded on an island and your kid has been taken by seabillies. The computer that is used solely for “saving the world” suddenly lights up with an instant chat and you don’t say anything to anyone?

11. Sawyer has really gotten beat up on this island. He gets stabbed by Sayid, punched by Hurley and shot TWICE by The Others. When will he get his revenge or when will we see the tough guy? He told Zeke that it wasn’t over… can’t WAIT for that confrontation!

12. When Sun asks Kate if she ever took a pregnancy test she answers yes. Tom? The Marshall?

13. What is all being built at this point? We are told that Eko is building a church but what was Charlie and Sayid building? And when did Charlie become Mr. Fixer Upper?

14. Henry is so freaking good at manipulation. I bet the actor playing him is just loving this part and I love watching him. Good job bad guy!

16. The map. I think that in 20 years when there is a recap of the greatest TV moments, the scene where the map on the door lights up will be in that countdown.
