My favorite part of the whole episode is when Widmore stops the dudes with the stretcher, just so he can peel off the sheet and show the guy's burned-to-hell face to Desmond (and us) just before they throw him in there.

There was No Other Reason for this. Hahahahahahaha! Loved it.

Yeah, I thought he had a face too cute to burn off, but it was still my favorite part. (of the episode, not necessarily of him)

I've been thinking about Eloise telling Desmond you're not ready yet....Desmond responded ready for what?

The "what" itself is, by itself, an interesting question...but what I'd like to know is why he's not ready yet? Just what did Eloise mean by that?

I think she may have meant he(Island Desmond that is) hasn't flashed yet from the natural pocket of electromagnetism yet.

You see, he flashed from the artificial EM created by Charles....but neither Charles nor Eloise actually expected him to flash from the test...the test was just to see if he'd survive...nothing more.

So, since he hasn't flashed from the proper place yet he isn't ready yet.

The Widmores are like the early years of the Soviet Rocket program.....launching rockets accidentally when they meant only to test them.

Desmond is now an out-of-control rocket

....and another thing.....

Minkowski being in this latest episode brought back a question that has yet to be answered........why were the crew of that freighter committing suicide? I've speculated that the ship was in a place close enough to the Island but also still too close to the real world that Time itself -seemed- to almost stand-still....and for some of the freighties, this was causing them to lose their very minds.

Something like the short story by Stephen King...The Jaunt

I'm warming to the theory that Desmond was in a completely different sideways alternate in that episode, indicated by his not being married. He started the flash at the airport just after the Oceanic flight. Did any other character's 'spotlight' episodes start at the airport? Because if not, I'm willing to bet Desmond started an entirely new tangent.

It's not an either or situation. I'd rather it be an adventure story. I'm totally digging all the relationship stuff so far. My point is that the show so far isn't a Romance with some Sci-Fi/Fantasy elements - quite the opposite.

Either that, or I really meant that I dislike love, and that I would enjoy it more if it was about death and hate.

They all did.

He wasn't the first, but it is surprising how few actually started there:

Jack.......In his bedroom
Kate.......LAX
Sayid......Nadias house
Locke.....On his lawn
Richard....Canary Islands
Ben.........Classroom
Sun/Jin....LAX
Sawyer...Cheap Motel

Hmmm, seems you should start catching more frames from more episodes, CP.

Thanks, sleepy. I knew I saw one other one start there. Since I (thankfully?) missed the Kate episode, that must have been Sun&Jin's.

Not enough to say that every airport start is a separate tangent. And I don't imagine the wedding ring discrepancy with Desmond is a large enough clue for something so big as multiple sideways alternate universes. So I don't know what to make of the wedding ring thing.

Heheh, I'm sure - about 10 days after the series ends - the internet will be awash with lists of unanswered questions and unresolved clues.

Starting with why is everyone so keen on getting this plane back in the air?

Totally ignoring the fact that a ship far larger than the one that got Micheal and Walt off the island exists(see episode 3:9)
