I've been referring to the monster as Godzilla. With the mechanical sounds it was making last night, I turned to my husband and said that no, it was instead apparently MechaGodzilla. I loved Hurley's line about the "island's security system that eats people".

I actually applauded when Artz got blown up, though I missed the actual blowing up shot. After he had wrapped the stick and was saying how dangerous it was, I looked away for a second...and heard "Kaboom". He was really annoying. I loved the glazed-over look on Hurley's face when they were waiting outside the ship for John, Jack and Kate.

When the blip came on the raft's radar, I was thinking it wasn't a good thing. When Danielle said they were coming for "the boy", I figured they meant Walt, not Claire's baby.

I figured that Charlie did already take the heroin. He was so tired and having a hard time keeping up with Sayid. And then after they visited the plane, he didn't seem to have trouble keeping up with him.

Someone on another board posited a theory that everyone was there because they were doing something wrong. Sun actually did bring up the point of whether they were being punished, which Shannon considered but Claire rejected.

I really enjoyed the show last night. Answered some questions, left others that you're waiting to see what happens.


Non-show related things - has anyone heard Naveen Andrews speak in real life? He was on a local radio show earlier this week, which I missed, but he apparently has a fairly thick British accent, nothing like what he sounds like on "Lost" or "Bride and Prejudice". Also, in listening to another radio show this week, I found out that the guy who played Ethan (the guy who kidnapped Claire and who Charlie killed) is Tom Cruise's cousin.

Some theories about the Island.

The island IS alive, as believed by Locke. And it does have a reason for calling them in. If true, are the pirates who kidnap children (this time Walt) part of the Island, or are they a threat to the island. Maybe the survivors are meant to protect it. Or maybe it's EVIIIIIIIIIIIIL. Like the creepy pirates. As soon as those dudes showed up, and we got a look at them, I thought, "Oh, poor Losters, you just wasted your flare on the WRONG people."

God, I love it when Sawyer takes off his shirt. I theorize that he takes of his shirt alot because the writers enjoy seeing him shirtless as much as I do.

Another theory is that they are all in Limbo, and until they make amends for past misdeeds, etc., they're trapped. Boone was "released" (died) when he made peace after he had done something selfless to help his fellow Losters, and had made peace with himself.

Granted, the poor dude who blew himself up? What kind of peace did he have? I liked him, even thoug he was annoying, because he was the voice of the audience: Why are YOU pretty people the only survivors we see? You're not the only talent on this island! Why are you still fat, Hurley?!"

I really like that the castaways are starting to ask each other why it's all happening, though.

And I REALLY want to know what the hell those numbers are.

Maybe the Island is a sentient spaceship.

Maybe it's in another dimension.

Maybe the Losters are dead people walking.

There does seem to be some sort of Underground World beneath the island, though. Awesome.

And the invisible monster Tremor worm that sounded like a mechanical godzilla was pretty cool.

I wonder what Walt will manifest when he's off with the creepy pirates. He should manifest another polar bear to eat them all. Or he should manifest Nightcrawler, so that Nightcrawler can BAMF Walt the fvck outta there.

Am I the only one who keeps reading that word as "lobsters"? :)

No... I keep thinking of drawn butter.

Yeah, I was so miffed when they took the boy (I'm not an avid Lost watcher). He gave away his dog and now he's with some sex smugglers :(

I'm thinking that everyone on the plane willed that plane to crash. That they all, for a brief second, had the thought that the only way out of their situation was to die and their collective thoughts made the plane go down. They were all in various desperate situations, like it would be easier for Charlie just to kill himself or whatever than to get off heroin. Or for Claire, rather than having the demon baby. Or for Locke, who couldn't walk at that point. Etc, etc.

They DO look like pirates and I think they came from the Black Rock. Now how did the Black Rock get there? Of course a tusanmi is the logical answer, but I predict it is not the correct answer.

The easter egg preview on that link I put up earlier says "They are not the Survivors they think they are...

they wern't in hell

I heard he will be back next season, as will Boone. I don't think people die on the island. I don't think Ethan is dead and I'm not so sure the other people who are dead will stay that way

Totally! I think that The Others live in the underground society and they can be heard above ground through some ventillation system.

Michael & Walt, Charlie and Hurley were all at the same hotel. Sawyer met Charlies dad in Australia. Hurley was on the TV screen when Jin was roughing up the family.
