Never mind Juliet...Kate may have been brainwashed too. Notice in the brainwashing room scene that both Alex and Kate were not nearly as affected by it as Sawyer. Now that could be because Sawyer is a guy and so is Karl...and the film was made for a guy: but I think both Kate and Alex have been there before.

1) Early on Kate was told by Ben to prepare "for the worse two weeks of her life" and when she was being brought to the cage near Sawyer her hands were in pretty bad shape from the cuffs.....a simple walk from the beach should not have been that bad for her hands in the cuffs; she was tied down to something.

2) Alex said, when they were looking to rescue Karl "this is the only place I haven't looked" ....could that be because she didn't want to look there as it was a place she remembers badly?

WOW! First Walt's comic book with a floating Emerald colored city; then Henry Gale(Ben)..now this............




There's no place like home....there's no place like home!

:snap:

Oz is surrounded by an endless desert which you have to fly over...an endless sea is pretty analagous.

First the Oracle was a different black lady, now the Oracle's a white lady. Make up your minds!





Oh, this isn't the Matrix?

Where is Mrs. Clue?

The thing I don't get about the Oracle type lady/jewler is why she is even there? If Desmond is destined to do this thing and no matter what he tries he will end up doing it then why the need to even tell him he must?

Unless Juliet is right, and free choice does still exsist:confused:

....the ocean is a desert....la, la, la la la la la :D

...With its life underground,
And a perfect disguise above.

I don't expect every single episode to be a edge of your seat blockbuster but when the Network goes on an all out media blitz touting "3 MAJOR QUESTIONS ANSWERED" one would expect that it would at least be an ok episode.

This, it was not. Slow and plodding and Jack is becoming less and less interesting every time he gets major screen time.

As for the 3 "MAJOR" questions.......

So ABC, in a pathetic effort to bump up Losts numbers for a single week managed to make those who only watch the show casually wonder "huh....were those important questions?" and probably make them think that "if this is one of the better shows I'd hate to see one of the average ones". Worse than that though; they managed to betray their most loyal fans.

Plus, I call bullsht on the scenes with Sawyer and Kate and Alex's boyfriend. He was conscious, he was coherent, and he seemed to be willingly answering questions in a forthcoming manner...and they just kinda went to sleep? BULLSH!T. Why were they not grilling the hell out of him? Those scenes were useless, we learned nothing, the characters learned nothing. The only info imparted was that Kate and Sawyer now know that there's a town with backyards on the island. I'm sure they could have found another way to inform them of that without leaving the major plot hole of, "there's no way in hell they don't ask the kid every single question they ever wanted to ask." Just leave the kid unconscious and incoherent, let him babble one or two things about backyards, and then have him run away while they sleep. Grrrrrr.
