Lost - Page 20

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.

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'm sure they'll find it - I just have always figured it was someone else who crashed in it, not Henry, and that as an Other he's using it as a cover story.

I get what you're saying but what threw me is that it seemed Jack and Locke had switched positions. When they first got the prisoner, Locke was the one who teamed with Sayiid to imprison and torture the guy. Suddenly it's Locke who's unsure about what to do with him and Jack who wants to keep him indefinitely? They even showed a clip from that in the "previously on Lost". It doesn't make sense.

I just finished watching it. All hail TIVO!

My thoughts:

The plane mobile was almost disturbing. It has to be a clue. And I'm pretty sure the music was the song that Claire had her adoptive family promise to sing to the baby (put a shooting star in your pocket?).

I think Locke is playing Henry and I think they will find a balloon. I still say he is an Other.

Why didn't Alex escape with Claire?

I totally thought Eko was going to slit his throat.

And finally. Where are they? That medical equipment was modern and they disappeared with all their equipment, the paint is faded. They left their "Other" clothing and the beard behind. It will be interesting to see how they look next time they show up.

Can you share your theory? I'd love to hear it!

And who was the "He" Ethan and cleaned up pirate guy were talking about. When Claire was in the nursery and they stepped out into the hallway??

Good question. I had forgotten about that.
