The only reason I caught that was because they showed a photo, and I rewound that part thanks in part to my handy dandy TiVoO.

So...is he an "Other" or not????

Ya, I think he was on the fisherman boat. He looks so familiar but in the interrogation scene he reminded me of Antony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and maybe that's why I think he's familar. Henry Gale was the name of Dorthy's uncle in the Wizard of Oz. The hot air balloon was part of WoOz story too.

I love how they are showing us more and more now. I think they producers figured out that the fans were going to lose interest if they kept us hanging.

I can't wait till next week!

Cubit.net usually has screenshots but I think they are being overloaded at the moment.

oh hell yeah hes one of the 'other'.

Spoiler:

when Sayid said you remember every second, every detail of losing someone that close to you he was dead on. "I dont remember"? you sir....are a liar.

and Jack needs his ass kicked a few times

You're all missing something important...the countdown reached 0!!! And there was a bomb, and a bird, and, umm, a whip (or was it a hair pin?), and, like, a divining rod or something. WTF, it's like the bunker was built by Mesopotamians or something.

Or perhaps the same aliens that helped the Egyptians build the pyramids.

Yes. The blast doors are going to close and then the Stargate will open.

Re: the hieroglyphs, someone posted this link on MP. Look familiar?

[Capt Jack]

they looked like some kind of egyptian hyroglyphs or some such. if I could get a snapshot of the characters themselves, I might be able to translate them...but eh, I'll let them do it.

but after it did run out...from the sound of things that started happening, well lets just say "nothing is gonna happen" doesnt look to be quite accurate.

Re-run this week, I didn't learn anything new. I was reminded how creepy the first episode really is though.

So on Kevin and Bean this morning they had one of their co-workers on the phone talking about how she Jack is an Other but he doesn't know it yet.

New ep tonight. Next new one after tonight is 3 weeks away.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I better check the DVR - the Olympics messed us up a bit.

Wow, what an episode!!!!

I think the biggest thing learned from this episode is (hmm, did we ever come to a conclusion re: spoilers?)

Spoiler:

The whole "This is our island" savage Others thing is a load of crap. Ragged "Other" grab hanging in a locker + fake bead + beard-guy without a beard talking to Ethan = They ain't livin' on that island, or at least they're being supplied from the outside. All an. Why? Still completely unkown. Were they really vaccinating the baby with the goal of keeping it? Quite possibly. But there's still zero hint of why.

Oh, and that end bit was badly written. No way Locke gets taken in by that lame, "Why do you let him call the shots?" Lame, but I'll just close my eyes and pretend they wrote a really good scene where Henry slowly manipulated John.

Oh, and Alex is cute. She was Malcolm's girlfriend in Malcolm in the Middle
