i FUCKING hate how they play so many commercials. Mother of fuck it pisses me off. Then the last 5 seconds they put a cliff hanger so that more dumbasses like me can tune next week only to be bombarded by another 40 minutes of commercials, 19 minutes of nothing happening, 55 seconds of build up and 5 seconds of something actually happening.

here's the state of my interest in lost: ive seen every episode but have stopped after the third episode of this season. it seems like the show is going backwards in a sideways sort of way and ive lost interest -- totally bored earlier, the show came on and it was locke suddenly alive again and with some more survivors. have no idea if theyre new, or if theyre from the past. didnt care and i flipped to the news instead.

still like the office though.

i love the office but lost ist still good but this episode just made tons more questions. i want to go and ask a few questions because i have no clue who the main charecter of this episode, the guy who was the leader of darhma, where have i seen him before? he gave bens dad a job if i recall and if i saw ben there I'd just kill him, or kill the dad.

My guess is that the black smoke "corrects" the island timeline. For example if there is 2 of you co-existing within one time, the black smoke kills one of you so theres only one of you. Like when Charlotte's body goes back in time, it "dissapears" because she already exists as a child version of herself.

More chicks? More Juliet.

One of this Losties (Locke I think) had a flashback where he/she saw Horce chopping down a tree.
And his body was found in that giant pit of dead bodies shown in one of the earlier seasons. He had his dharma worksuit and nametag on him.

I doubt the black smoke is that, and obvioulsy no one of the characters know what it is exactly, remember that the black smoke attacked several guys. And for the chicks i love Charlotte i just cant get again from her eyes.
Help me! im still improving my English. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. M. G.

Hmm, I don't get why they didn't just take that submarine back to civilization?
They could've ended the series right there :p

Also, what the hell happened to all the other survivors from the plane? It's like they've been forgotten, unless something happened to them that I can't remember.

I was wondering the exact same thing. I can't remember exactly what happened... when did Juliet, Sawyer, the asian dude and Daniel separate from the dozens of other survivers? And... wouldn't the other survivers be experiencing the same flashes as them? Or were some of the survivers killed on the boat when it blew up. FUCK i can't remember. I wish they would explain that, or maybe someone here can tell me why I'm confused.

Also, you know how Whitmore told Locke that the Oceanic 6 had been living life for 3 years? I'm having trouble converting that to island time. So, Sawyer and his party went back in time to a point 3 years BEFORE the Oceanic Six showed up (but also back in time). I wonder when/if they'll all get back to the normal time.
I hate optimists.

They left them behind when they went to the hatch, then they just seemed to forget about them.

Horace was the guy who hired Ben's dad, he was killed in the purge later. He also appeared in one of Locke's dreams.

godawful episode imho, Sawyer picking flowers, the super-annoying love triangle getting even more ridiculous and nothing at all important happening.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

they went back to way before that, to 1976 i think sawyer said, it's so Whitmore can't find the island because it's constantly moving through time. It's also before the purge and everything important that happened, but since the island moved back in time, 3 years has passed on and off the island.

the only thing i was really want answers for is that dambed smoke monster. I doubt he's kill peoples doubles because in the first season he killed the pilot of the first plane.

So im guessing three years have passed on the island AND on the outside world. and that stupid love triangle is a square cause jack and kate slept together before going back a few episodes ago, you just know that'll come back.

You had to have seen that coming ... I liked this episode a lot. We got a glimpse of the ancient statue right before their last time warp. It appeared to be egyptian, and is consistant with an egyptian god with only 4 toes (cant remember the gods name). Also, there have been many sightings of hyroglyphics throughtout the show including when the hatch went past 0, inside the wheel room, and the temple that the smoke monster appears to be guarding. Richard also appears not to age, maybe he is an ancient egyptian pharoah? They made it a point to say that he wears eye linar, which egyptians did do. Also, the islands "exit point" for the person who moves the island is tunisia, very close to egypt. Wasnt the black rock also a slave ship set sail from somewhere in africa?

After all this lost seems to be all about ancient egypt. LOL. Man I love this show though.


From reading other forums, the Egyptian statue looks like the God Horus, which is interestingly similar to Horace's name. Also, the ankh that was around pregnant girls dead husband's neck is apparently Egyptian too.

I still like the show, but I just want it to be over so there's no more stupid questions to answer!

edit: clarity.

You mean the other survivors from the first plane? Most of them were killed in the flaming arrows attack, save your main characters. A bunch kicked it when the freighter blew up as well. The "red shirts" are dead, as the lead writers put it.

My best guess as to the apparent time incongruities is this: Moving the island can lead to unpredictable results. If you remember, when Ben moved the island he appeared in the Tunisian desert, "the exit," as Whitmore called it. He iced a couple dudes and stole their horses and made his way to a hotel in Tunisia. When he gets to the front desk, he asks the women if it's 2005 and she says yes. Ben's apparent uncertainty suggests that the mover of the island may exit at different time than it "should" be, based on the amount of time elapsed on the island.

So it's possible that when Locke turns the wheel and moves the island, he exited 3 years after he left. During that time, all the events we witnessed (Hurley going back to Santa Rosa, Jack and Kate hooking up and almost getting married, Sayyid killing fools for Ben, etc) have already transpired. Ditto for those on the island. As we saw in the last episode, Sawyer, Juliet, Miles, etc made a life for themselves in the Dharma Initiative.

This assumes that time passes on and off the island at roughly the same rate. But if you go back to what we learned about the freighter that is either incorrect (because of the doctor washing up on the island before he was murdered) OR the island is off some in time OR fuck i don't know. I can't really explain the freighter time weirdness.

One question... How could Jin be caught in the flash, and not the Oceanic 6 (who were close to the island than Jin was when the freighter exploded)?

They could take the submarine, but then they would have to come back to the island somehow. Remember, Locke believes that everyone is on the Island for a reason, and he is absolutely right. Nobody goes back to their normal life. Jack becomes an alcoholic, Michael becomes suicidal, Hugo starts seeing dead people, etc. Staying on the island is their fate. Locke was trying to convince everyone that everyone was destined to crash and stay on the island the entire time, and nobody believed him until he died.

taking a wild guess, they were airborn and moving away from the island right?
jin was in the water actually swimming TOWARD the island
maybe since he was in the water he held his ties to the island, cause otherwise well...he would have drowned
