What the Cap'n said. Why is it that when people say "shhh" on TV, the other people start making as much noise as possible? :rolleyes:

If Shannon really wasn't dreaming, and that really was Walt in the hut, then why was he SOAKING wet, and where did he learn to talk backwards? If he got away from the others, he wouldn't act like this (not to mention disappear again) but if he's still held by the others I guess they could be making him pull odd sht like that...but why?? It's so random and freaky. I guess it's pretty obvious that whoever the others are, they're insane, so it's not too much of a stretch.

It had to be actually Walt when he said "shh" because Sayid saw him...unless the others have crazy projection technology or something.

Of course they had to kill her after making her all likable - the whole point of her character was her bitchiness.

Seems more likely to me that it's some weird spiritual/mystical/timetravely thing going on.

This makes me realize that even though they've hinted at all kinds of magic and mystery (black wispy smoke pulling John underground, for instance) they still have not shown us whether any of that is "magic" or "mechanical". Remember the mechanical noises during one of the "monster" chases? I was so sure they were going to show us some robot dinosaur...

They're clearly purposely being wishy-washy on the mystical vs. physical thing. But with the too coincidental overlap between survivors' backstories, a dripping wet backward talking Walt, and bizarre black cloud that can grab someone, I doubt they can have an entirely physical and "rational" explanation of the island. Weirdness abounds.

Walt is "special," it's probably the reason the Others took him. We already know that psychic phenomena happen on the island from seeing Jack's dad, and Boone's vision of Shannon's first death. (Death sucks) We know from the Dharma Initiative orientation film that the Island is a large scale communal research compound (gone bad) consisting of 6 stations studying Meteorology, Psychology, Parapsychology, Zoology, Electromagnetism and Utopian Social (unintellegible.)

Get your Orient on.

Anyhoo, spooky things happen on the island; wet, creepy Walt is not Walt literally walking around the island talking backwards, but it is Walt, wherever he is, communicating with the Losties.

CP does have one point. Two people saw this one. The others COULD have been elaborate hallucinations. No one else saw Jack's dad. No one else saw Bimboone getting killed. Sayid saw Walt.

AAAAAARG! I got all set to watch the tape from Wednesday evening....and BT somehow screwed up and it didn't record! AAAARG! This really really sucks.

Okay. Please please please someone PM me with a plot summary. The one's I've found online are ... inadequate. this is driving me nuts!

Just an FYI for those of you who ypically record "Lost" for later viewing:
five extra minutes next week...

Crap, thanks for the heads-up. I'm not sure if our Replay TV does that automatically or not.
