1. someone mentioned purgatory. i'm not sure if anyone is familiar with the absurdist jean paul sarte and his famous 'no exit' play which implies 'hell is other people'. it's not really sci-fi, but this could be a spiritual stretch--everyone died in a plane crash and they're all in hell. the 'beasts' are really demons and what not, or devices to create conflict between all the other residents of hell! hey i'm not saying i believe it, but it's something to offer.

I had to laugh at Sawyer when he tried to give the high and almighty speech about doing something that Jack couldn't do and then he messed it up by missing his heart. There's definitely something behind his anger. I tend to think that his wife and kids may have left him or something.

did he say "a miracle HAPPENED here" or "a miracle WILL HAPPEN here"?

i thought it was the latter, but I could be wrong.

I guess he didn't make it, because they found him in a tree, IIRC.

Also, are criminals ever really transported on passenger jets?

Regarding the scenes for next week: was it just me, or were those the same scenes we were shown last week? Maybe I'm just psychic.

Gasspasser, my fellow Illinois RateBeerian, here is a brief synapsis of the episode:

- The hikers set up camp on their way back from the mountaintop. They decide to lie to the group about hearing the French distress call so that they don't cause a mass panic. The lifeguard guy takes the gun in the middle of the night to stand guard, but everyone objects and decides that Kate should be the one holding the gun.

- The Doc finds the mugshots of Kate on the marshall, who keeps saying that Kate is dangerous and cannot be trusted. Hurley sees the mugshots as well.

- Flashbacks show Kate nomadically wandering through Australia. She stays with a widowed farmer for 3 months and helps him around the farm. They befriend each other, but the farmer discovers that she is wanted, and turns her in to get the reward money so he can pay off his mortgage. He tells her this when he is driving her to the "train station" when she notices that they are being followed by the marshall. She causes an accident in which the farmer is knocked unconscious. Instead of running and saving herself, she drags the farmer to safety and is captured by the marshall.

- The father, when looking for his son's dog, is chased by the "monster" and ends up running into the Korean woman when she is bathing. Uncomfortableness ensues.

- Locke carves a whistle out of wood and uses it to attract the dog, Vincent. He ties Vincent up and tells the father so that he can bring the dog to his son.

- The marshall isn't doing too well, and will surely die. Kate wants to put the marshall out of his misery so that he won't suffer for days. Doc won't let her. The crazy wildman redneck guy ends up shooting the marshall because he wanted to die, but he shot him in the chest, not the head. The gunshot didn't kill him - it punctured his lung. Off camera, it is assummed that the Doc ends the marshall's life.

- Kate tries to tell Doc what she did to get in trouble, but he doesn't want to know. He says that everyone died on the planecrash, and everyone is starting fresh.

I probably missed something, but that is a general breakdown of what happened.

I was also surprised they already revealed Locke's secret.

Spoiler:

It showed them all complaining about being hungry cuz there is no food. Then Locke throws a knife into seat next to Sawyer's face to get his attention then says 'lets go hunting". Then it shows the black lady and the doc talking. She says her husband isnt dead. He says everyone in the back is dead. She says they prolly think the same thing about us. Then you hear the monster and doc says RUN! Then is shows trees going down on their way to locke and you get a shot from the POV of the monster looking down on locke.

So, last week Walt looks at a comic book, sees a polar bear - then suddenly a real polar bear shows up

Last night, Walt apparently wants the rain to stop so his father can look for Vincent and instantly the rain stops.

Coincidence? Beats me.

It could be sarcasm. "You want to know what I did? ... I killed a politician's son for raping my little sister". Revenge is against the law. This has been a common theme among TV shows since the beginning. Good people punished for serving justice when society fails. The rich politician gives monetary incentive for the law enforcement community to hunt her down.

Are you sure you want to do that? You'd be the first person in a "Lost" thread to do such a thing.

Yes they are. What else would they do, ship them UPS?

The comic book was in Spanish and the kid said he found it. To me that implied that the comic book could've been telling a story from the island. We better see that comic book again because that's too weird to just gloss over. I would have forgotten all about it if it weren't for these threads.

Flash: [first bubble]What are your plans?
[second bubble]Why does it trouble you tell us? Anyhow, we are your puppets.

Green Cape Guy: [first bubble]We understand how you feel. What we did almost a half century ago was bad, but what they have done to you since then is beyond any kind of forgiveness.
[second bubble]But yes, somebody had to pay for that.

Purple Guy: [first bubble]My plan is to die.
[second bubble]Because of Gunther and all of you I am plagued with diseases. But I will share my pain.

Unknown to the heroes, Alien X was subjected to decades of experiments. Eventually, Alien X was infected with a terminal cancerous disease.
Learning it would soon die, Alien X easily broke free of its imprisonment in the late 1990s. Seeking revenge against those that contributed to its death sentence, Alien X killed Gunther, now a General in charge of the government project and then went after Alan (Green Lantern) Scott and Jay (Flash) Garrick. The heroes were caught by surprise and Garrick had mere moments to leave a clue to his disappearance.
[...]
Now under Alien X's mental control, the Golden Age heroes unearthed its starship, which was buried in the arctic. When the younger heroes arrived, Alien X ordered the Golden Age Flash and Green Lantern to fight their younger counterparts. Wally West and Kyle Rayner were able to free their elder namesakes and together they defeated Alien X. While West took Garrick and Scott to safety, Rayner tried to help the dying Alien X. Surprised by this sign of compassion, Alien X knew it was too little too late for him and the planet Earth. Rather than face imprisonment once more, Alien X took his own life. [Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends #1]

The thing I wonder about Locke is if he got that eye scar before or after the crash. Everyone else is pretty much unscathed.
