I find it interesting that the hiking group decided not to tell the rest of the survivors about the message, but they didn't make any decisions about the polar bear. Are they going to tell the group about the polar bear or not?
Also, why haven't they thought of using the dead bear as a food source? Its probably too late now, though.

It didn't really show how far away they were from the beach, but it seems there was a good chance that the rest of the survivors would've heard the gunshots when they killed the bear.

Couldn't understand that and why that idiot didn't shoot the Marshall in the head. Otherwise, a solid episode.

Well, one of my theories from the pilot was shot down last night when Michael saw Sun topless. (When her husband told her to button her shirt, I thought she might have some kind of mark or tattoo on her body that he wanted to keep hidden.) So take these with a grain of salt...
1. The Monster.
2. Locke. At certain times, he seems kind, yet at other times he gives off a degree of malevolence. If he didn't have something to do with these people being stranded on the island then he might

apparently wants the rain to stop so his father can look for Vincent and instantly the rain stops.
Coincidence? Beats me.

Agreed about the rainfall. That was just used as comic relief. The father (figurative) was just trying to delay going out to look for the dog. What I didn't get is Why he didn't want to look for the dog originally? Was he scared or lazy or both. The whole dog whistle thing is kind of suspect as well.

So they never explained how a Polar Bear got on the island? Is there still a creature out there somewhere?
Also, are the "scientific possibilities" J.J. discussed ones that play by our world's rules, or the worlds he creates?

As far as "clean slates" go, we can't wipe everything away. I still think that some event ON THE PLANE involving one or more of the passengers caused the crash.

It will be tough to fill an hour without flashbacks. Those flashbacks will reveal why everyone is who they are and where they came from. This show is going to need lots of backfill otherwise it will be about as boring as backgammon.
Kate included. I just worry that they will cop out on her character for fear of audience reaction. She most likely killed a corporate power or politicians son, because she was raped. Or maybe she had a brother or sister that was murdered and revenge was the reason. The writers have already positioned her as a protagonist. She has already demonstrated she has a conscience and I don't think the writers will let go of the sympathy to make her a villian.
I am willing to bet that the "clean slate" comment was a setup to do the reverse. You are a product of your history and you cannot escape it ... even on a remote island.

Sure the breaks are shorter than usual, but I would rather have 3 breaks of 4 minutes each rather than 5 breaks of 2 1/2 minutes each (approx).
Oh well, back to my Tivo next week and seeing this 2 to 3 hours earlier.

Count me in the camp of hoping Kate is genuinely "bad" instead of being "self defense murderess brought down by the system."
The "white color criminal" angle seems the most likely with her, since if you recall from last week she didn't know how to handle the gun.

"Lost," 10.3/17, easily won the 8 p.m. hour for ABC over "60 Minutes," 6.4/10, on CBS. "Hawaii" finished third for NBC. "That '70s Show" and "Quintuplets" put FOX in fourth, averaging 3.9/6.

I don't think it was a "white collar" crime for which they were chasing her.

About the commercials - I was wondering if this show has less of a running time than normal? Or are the commercial breaks just shorter. There are alot of commercial breaks. I'm watching this in HD (while taping Smallville for the wife), so I get to sit through all these breaks.
