So where does that tube go? Is there a bank on the island? I wonder if the recorders are still working? Perhaps the camera recorded Michael shooting Libby and Anna.

A good, solid episode. ;D Ecko's speech about the boy who beat his dog to death, and was afraid it would be waiting for him in Hell was one of the best bits of dialogue EVER!!! Really enjoyed the interplay between all the characters tonight. Ecko and Michael, Sawyer and Jack, Sayid (sp?) and Jack, and really glad to see them getting Charlie right again! Putting the church together even without Ecko, holding hands with Claire, and the look from Locke...all great! The Other's camp was pure show. Like Planet of the Apes or Waterworld. Glad Walt got to say "They're not who they say they are. They're pretending." Can't wait to see what's in this new hatch. The sailboat at the end will be Desmond's. Rumor has it that next week's flashbacks will be all from his POV. One week to go until the finale!

I think he said "man," but G-fan erased the episode from my DVR after he was done watching it, so I couldn't go back and check for sure.

WOW! A great season finale! What we learned... Locke was wrong...er...he was right, and then he was wrong. The numbers did mean something. And Hurley was right too. The numbers (or lack there of) brought down the plane. The rest of the world does exist, because those guys in Iceland or Antarctica or whereever the hell it was are there. What we think we know... Henry is the leader of the others. Walt and Michael are now off the show (answering how they were going to explain how Walt was growing up when each episode lasts a day or so, and answering how Michael was going to be able to live with the castaways once his deception was made known). What we have to wait all summer to find out... Are Locke and Ecko still alive? What about Desmond? What will The Others do with our heroes? A well written, well directed, tense 2 hours of television. It did what LOST does well very well. ;D

Just played the scene again - it's not Matthew Fox. The IMDB has these in the credits: Len Cordova .... Man #1 Alex Petrovich .... Man #2 On the Official Podcast, the producers confirmed that it is not Jack - which validates that you're far from the only one who thought so. Henry is the leader of the others. Henry is afraid of the leader of the others. So is Fakebeard Tom ("Mr. Friendly"). I don't think we've seen him yet. Maybe he has 4 toes. It's Vincent.

Maybe it is just me with my whole Poseidon's Children mythos and everything, but I'm starting to think they've landed on Atlantis. Well...what's left of it at any rate.

Last night's episode was awful. Just awful. Worst episode since Charlie got punched out for trying to baptize the baby. How awful was it, you ask? Well, let me count the ways: 1) Locke (Terry O' Quinn), Mr. Eko (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) survive the blast. Okay, this is not a bad thing. In fact, I'm very happy they lived. BUT, if the hatch IMPLODED instead of EXPLODED, how in the hell did they get thown OUT into the jungle? And Desmond running around naked? How did a magnetic surge rip off his clothes and nobody else's? I mean beside the fact that the other two men aren't as "hot" to the female viewers, what's the reasoning here? Yeah, I know he was closer to the blast than the other two, but he wasn't wearing a suit of armor! How did a huge magnet rip off his pants? 2) Locke joined a pot commune. Huh?!?! Okay, I could see the man joining a group of survivalists, as in the "Incident on a Mountain Road" episode of Masters of Horror, but a bunch of hippies growing mary jane? And the flashback was incomplete! What happened to the compound? Did Locke go to jail? He told Charlie that bad things happen to people around him, but we didn't see it. We saw that Locke couldn't kill a man. But how is that bad? I get the feeling someone else did kill the cop, but we didn't see it. 3) The utter lack of concern shown by Charlie (Dominic Monaghan), Claire (Emilie de Ravin), and the other beach dwellers. After the season finale in May, I got into a discussion of this with author Brian Keene. As you may recall, Charlie comes out of the jungle after the bright light, the noise, and the hatch lid falling from the sky (again IMPLODE, not EXPLODE. How is stuff being thrown out?!?!), and Claire asks him what happened to Locke and Eko. He says, "What, they're not back yet?" Then he smiles and they have a nice bonfire on the beach. Where was the search party? Where was the bloody worry? I know Charlie doesn't like Locke, but he had a nice friendship going with Eko. And last night, Charlie said Locke had been gone for a day. A DAY!!! And we see everyone on the beach just merrily going about their business as if nothing had happened. Claire just looks over and asks, "When did John get back?" Hello, why wasn't anyone out there looking for him? Brian Keene put it quite simply: "That's just lazy writing." Man, was it ever! The whole episode just seemed like a way to explain away the fact that Locke, Eko, and Desmond made it out, and then fill up the rest of the hour with a bear hunt. Terrible, terrible episode.

Okay, I went to go see Saw III last Wednesday night, so I didn't get to watch last week's LOST until this morning. NOT EKO!!!!! He was one of my favorite characters! What was the point of the whole horrible polar bear rescue episode if they were just going to go and kill him off anyway? It's just not fair! In other news...who is the guy with the eyepatch they saw on the Pearl Station monitor, and where is he? And Juliet...she scares me. She's so nice and sweet and...evil! The whole Bob Dylan/INXS card flipping thing on video while she was talking to Jack was a stroke of freaking brilliance! Loved it! ;D So, once again, we have a tale of two LOSTs. Others storyline: wonderful! Plane survivor's storyline: Not so hot. Tonight is the FALL SEASON FINALE! Wonder what kind of cliffhanger they will leave us with?

You ever watch a show and feel like there was a lot going on, but nothing really happening? That's what I got from LOST tonight. Maybe Heroes has spoiled me, with its fast pace and twist every week or so, but all we got after our hour tonight was Kate and Sawyer off the little island and back toward the big one, and Jack fixing Henry Gale. Sure, Juliet's back story was nice enough. The opening tease where she pulls back the drapes to show the Miami skyline was very nicely done! But the guy hit by the bus? It's become so cliche. Although...I don't think it was an accident. We'll have to see what happens next week.

You ever watch a show and feel like there was a lot going on, but nothing really happening? That's what I got from LOST tonight. Maybe Heroes has spoiled me, with its fast pace and twist every week or so. . . I think that's likely. I have a few friends who watched LOST season one within the period of about a week, on DVD in advance of the start of season 2. Then season two started, and for them, it seemed that nothing was happening. For myself, having originally seen season one a week at a time, season two seemed right in line. There is, in fact, no break in the flow from the season closer to the season opener - it's just the next episode. Not for my friends, and this they thought until another friend wandered over while we were mid-episode, and we quickly turned it off (he was halfway through year one, we were halfway through year two), and they realized how much time it would take to explain what he would have seen - "Hatch"? What Hatch? Numbers? They have food now? Who are all those other people? etc. It's possible that watching shows that do what Lost doesn't, but are compared with it in style and quality (Heroes, Galactica) may have thye same effect. Lost is not, and has not been, about "what happens". That's how it's advertised, and how it can feel if you see four episodes in one night, but LOST is about who these people are, and how they are, not about rapid plot advancement. On the other hand, look where you are now - "This week Jack helps romantically entangled Kate & Sawyer return "home" from the other island, while he holds the life of Ben (Hanry Gale, leader of The Others) hostage on a surgeon's table." Explain that to someone 8 episodes behind. We'll have to see what happens next week. If that's why you're watching now, you should prepare to continue to be disappointed. If you find yourself so, then I would stop watching weekly. Record the shows, and then watch them all at once, so the plot is more apparent, because I don't see these writers shifting gears anytime soon. Changing time slots? Yes. 10pm caused a ratings problem for them, but artistically speaking, what they've done so far has been successful.

Maybe I need to find my inner 12-year-old again.
