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.

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.

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?

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.

scaeagles · 03-01-2006, 07:45 AM

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

Cadaverous Pallor · 03-01-2006, 10:10 AM

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

Ghoulish Delight · 03-01-2006, 11:22 PM

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:

scaeagles · 03-02-2006, 07:47 AM

I think the thing that was agreed to is that if the episode has aired it is the responsibility of those who may not have viewed it yet to avoid discussion. That being said....

Wow. They sure aren't the island hillbillies they would like the crash survivors to beleive, are they? Lots of at least reasonably modern medical supplies (or so I gathered when Claire was looking down the hall prior to leaving).

I did catch that it as Malcolm's old girlfriend. I love Malcolm in the Middle. That show slays me. Anyway.....

Yeah, Locke losing it at the end was a bit of a let down, but I have a thought - perhaps Locke was playing Henry. "You have thin doors, " said Henry Gale. Locke knew that Henry could hear everything going on, so he made sure his reaction was audible. Locke has never, ever had such a reaction to anything on the island. Locke is playing Henry.

katiesue · 03-02-2006, 09:16 AM

I agree the reaction was pretty out of character for Locke. Unless he's just doing for effect.

If the Others wanted the baby, then didn't get it, why move out all the medical supplies and nursery stuff? Apparently they can get off the island or at least to a better part. Why don't they still want Aaron? Is he somehow taintend now that he was born without their "help"? Or are they just waiting? They seem to have larger numbers and more/better equipment so you'd think that if they really wanted him it wouldn't be all that difficult to get him.

Why did Mr. Eko need to confess to Henry? Does he think he really is an Other and by telling him, Henry could relay the message that he is sorry for killing two of them? And what they heck is he doing cutting down all the bad trees? He seems to know something about the island that he's not letting the rest of the group in on.

Sawyer's still the best even if he's only got a few minutes of screen time.

It's the best episode we've had in a while. Well, okay, that Eko episode was also pretty kickass... I loved all the performances and the plot twists and turns were unexpected, though as soon as I saw the lockers, I knew Kate was going to find Other costumes. Probably because we just saw Master Other looking scholarly and beardless in the flashback.

I don't think Locke was out of character at ALL. The island has given him a purpose - a purpose he seemed to lack in his pre-island life. We've seen how pathetic and powerless he's felt during some of his flashback clips. He doesn't want anyone on the island to know what he was like before. It makes complete sense that he'd struggle with this new identity of his. He's suddenly feeling week again. A taste of the insignifance he felt before, and he really didn't like it. I think his reaction was perfect.

This guy knows how to manipulate people. And he knew EXACTLY where to hit Locke where it hurts. Given that the Dharma film mentioned some of the experiments they were doing having to do with the paranormal and ESP, I really wouldn't be surprised if this guy (who I DO think is an Other) could read minds, at least a little bit. I think his line about the walls being thin is bulls&!t. People have been locked in there before and had to scream to be heard. It was very funny when he said, "You could always let me go," but it struck me as very odd that he could hear Jack and Locke's conversation - they were practically whispering. So, yeah, I think there's some mind reading going on.

For a second I thought Eko was going to slit his own throat. Good Lord, AAA is a fine actor. Love, love, love him.

The casting of Gabrielle's daughter is AMAZING. Looks just like a younger version of Rousseau (sp?).

Very curious to know what's up with Eko's trees.

Also, my friend Mike thinks that they WILL find a hot air balloon. But our guess is, if they have fake Other personalities (costumes, beards), they'd have no problem faking a balloon accident.

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.
