Jack's head must be spinning trying to figure out "who's zoomin' who." I know mine is. Can't wait to see more next week!

I took the exchange to be about the implosion of the hatch, not Lostzilla

If the Others have shown anything it's that they are adaptable. That may not have been their original plan, it may have accelerated things, but rest assured it was no accident that he saw those x-rays and that Ben was fully aware that he would.

*sigh* Lost lost me last season- I figure I will buy the DVDs and watch it that way. I miss too much on the regular seasons.

I caught bits last night while I was doing laundry- figured it was Eko who would not last....*heavy sigh*

Like GD said:I didn't like the episode because nothing really happened to Eko except that he died. He chased his tail for no reason and was killed by the monster for no reason. He revealed nothing to anyone, including us. Lame.

One other interesting point of note....remember in season two when the tailies found the abandoned station, and in that abandoned station was a crate they opened? Inside that crate they opened was....a glass eye. Perhaps this belongs to the man with the eye patch we saw on the TV monitor in the last episode?

The last episode may be my favorite of the series. I love season 3 and hug it to my breast like a cuddly teddy bear.

My understanding of Eko's death was that the actor wanted off the show, since he felt that there was not really enough to explore about his past after being given such a stellar flashback the last season. I actually liked the resolution. Before, he had a spiritual awakening and the "monster" spared him (also flashed some sort of video montage at him, but never knew what that was about.) The monster is some mechanical gadget cloaked in smoke. I like how, in the episode where he died, he seemed to come to a different conclusion about himself, his faith, etc. And the result was that the monster rejects him. It ties into some theories about individual character redemptions. I'm also wondering if the "monster" is something separate from the "Others" we've gotten to know.

I am so not thrilled by the new people. Where the hell have they been for two seasons? All of a sudden they're joining in on the expeditions? Right now they're about as interesting as damp toast. Did we not have enough characters to care about? Now we have more that are meaningless? I'm getting peeved.

More good stuff last night. I like how Jack played it.

Three months until 14 straight.

He did take a bit of a gamble that they actually gave a crap about Ben, especially with Juliette having shown him a plan to kill him. Of course, I believe that plan was a super secret double blind bluff, and maybe Jack figured that out too, but it's still a gamble.

So was this the last new episode until then?
