Maybe. In Hurleys Flash Forward earlier this year he was working on a drawing at the mental institution....the drawing was of an igloo

Here's an interesting page with a screenshot of the carved door Ben opened. It has Egyptian hieroglyphs on it! The one I can make out most clearly is the glyph for "force". Hmmmmm....

^Cool.

Obviously, then, the same aliens that built the pyramids built the island.

I hope someone who knows hieroglyphs will translate that. Way cool. Wish I had HD so I could freeze frame like that.

Once again, my recording of Lost was all frakked up. I'm wondering if ABC is doing something to mess with DVR recordings because this only happens with Lost. I think I'm going to watch it live next week and see if it happens then too.

So the mercenaries survived smokey's attack, eh. It sounded like they were getting slaughtered last week.

With future Jack's comment of "you're not even related to him" (talking about Aaron to Kate), I wonder if he knows that Claire is his half-sister.

WE GOT CONFIRMATION!

My Lost isn't messed up. I have an ancient TiVO Series 2 (for kicks).

I found it very interesting that they survived smokey's attack fairly unscathed (though one was super beat up), but Jack got sick. I didn't even think about the whole "people don't get sick" thing until Rose said something.

I'm guessing yes. They confirmed that Jack's dad was Claire's dad. I wonder if the reason Jack didn't want to see Aaron is because he reminds him of his sister. I thought Clarie was going to be found dead at the end. But we don't even know if she died. But we do know Sawyer choose to stay behind. I wonder if Jin did too.

Not to totally derail this into a DVR trouble ticket, but...

I'm using DishNetwork's PVR 522. I've been using this model for about 5 years and the hard drive on my last one died a few weeks ago. I'm using a brand new one of the same model. It may or may not have newer firmware. I never had any problems recording Lost before. Lost still records, but about every 20 seconds the image freezes and goes all pixelated, then comes back. It takes about 2-3 seconds to recover. The sound is fine, just the picture is messed up. I don't experience this problem on any other show (and I only watch shows off the DVR, never live). Lost is also the only show I watch on ABC, so to see if it was an ABC thing I recorded some of Jimmy Kimmel live. No problems there. I'll record it and watch it live next week and compare the live to the recorded to see if this issue still comes up.

Interesting thought re: Jack.

I was somewhat surprised that they survived. Since Ben obviously controls smokey, and smokey has killed others such as Mr. Eko, why would Ben send smokey to kill Eko yet not the mercenaries? If it is up to smokey and Ben just releases it, then why wuold it kill Eko and not the mercenaries?

A friend of mine can't record LOST on here DVR either!

It looked like there were fewer of them this week. I have a feeling Smokey took out a couple.

I don't think Ben controls Smokey. I think he just did something to set it off.
