1. I’m loving Daniel. I think they need to keep him.

2. This reminds me of the group they put together to go back to the island in the 2nd Jurassic Park movie (The Lost World). So far we have the genius physicist (Daniel), the psychic soil sampler (Miles), the anthropologist Charlotte and the drunk pilot. In Jurrasic Park:The Lost World they also send four people back to island *B* to explore the island. And lo and behold, they find another sinister group of people.

3. Jack may be the doctor but it is obvious that Sawyer has the street smarts. Dan admits that saving them is not their primary objective and then because of a distraction Jack lets him walk away before telling them what their objective is. Flash to the other side of the island and Sawyer is questioning Locke up one side and down the other. YES! Finally, somebody asking questions and not backing down.

4. Sawyer probably has it exactly right, that Ben will get them. He probably does have it all planned out. We haven’t seen the Others in awhile. Will they come to save Ben? Why do the boat people want him? They obviously know about the flight, so what does that have to do with Ben and why do they care?

5. Rain as helicopter was trying to land = electrical storm = security system.

6. Daniel & friends may have gas masks for whatever, but back at the barracks they have gas masks too.

7. Notice that the salvage vehicle was called the “Christian One?” (Jack’s dad is Christian). Also, they were searching for remains of sunken trading ships. Like the Black Rock perhaps? Even though they found the plane in the Indonesian Ocean, there is no reason to believe that is anywhere even near where they crashed.

8. The ROV’s were searching in an area of coordinates that they pulled off the guys map. Perhaps they were given that map by someone who wanted them to find the fake plane wreckage site.

9. I don’t know that I can speculate why the four crew members know about Oceanic back at home except that Hanso has something on all of them and that is how they convince them to find the island. But, they have to be told before they go that there are survivors there. Like Sayid said, they didn’t seem really surprised to find them living there.

10. We obviously know now that Mr Creepy Eyes isn’t a lawyer for Oceanic and if he is, well he plays more than one fiddle in that band.

11. Tunisia - remote enough that Hanso could have had another facility there. Why else would there have been a polar bear with a Dharma symbol on it’s collar?

12. Daniel was terribly nervous when he landed. They all have guns. What were they expecting?

13. Vincent! Damn dog! Where has he been?

14. I like how Locke tells Sawyer that Walt is telling him what to do. Locke explains that yes, it’s Walt, only taller. Uh huh, have to explain that growth when he comes back. I wonder if Walt died on the boat with Michael? Maybe Jacob has inhabited the body to talk to Locke?

15. I thought for sure they were going to find Kelvin’s bones in the sandy area where Miles landed. Where the drunken pilot was pulling himself up the cliff also looked like where Jack almost fell off in Season One and Locke came along to save him.

16. Miles is not a nice person. I don’t like how he kept the money from the grieving grandma, but he did give her some of it back. And what was up with the handy Dirt Devil? Reminded me of the goofy contraptions from Ghostbusters. I think he just carried it to cover noise anyway. Need to get screenshots of the grandson.

17. Interesting how Daniel says the light on the island is strange.

18. If Miles is a psychic, won’t it be interesting to see a Miles and Jacob showdown?

19. Dialing the phone can hurt them? Remember that Michael was warned not to try to contact the outside world from the computer in the hatch?

20. Oceanic Hotline 888-548-0034, the number works! It’s just a recording about the flight being found. Yes, of course I called it.

21. Why was Charlotte wearing the bullet proof vest? They really were expecting trouble.

22. Anyone catch the numbers on the helicopter?

23. Ben doesn’t know what the black smoke it? Not sure I’m buying that. I think it’s all part of his plan to only tell what goes along with what he wants them to know to trust him.

24. So Ben has a spy on the boat? How the heck have they been communicating?

More to come! Must screencap. Not obsessed here, no way!
