That's a good point, he might've had a gun, and if he's one of "they", maybe he's stronger than normal? Who knows!

I went over and looked through the pages on "Watch with Kristen" on E!Online and found some spoilers on this page (don't read if you don't want to know...)

Dude... Ethan kicked Jack's ass. That was such an incredible ass-kicking. With his mad face, the rain. I know it's kind of common, but that was bad-ass.

I think Sayid was responsible for keeping the fire lit on the beach in case a rescue plane flew by. Sawyer told him he had kept it lit for him in his absence.

That procedure is called a precordial thump. Here's a little information on it I found online. It has lagely fallen out of favor as part of advance recususcitation, though you see it in movies a lot.

A precordial thump is a thump administered to the front of the chest, over the sternum, in cardiac resuscitation of witnessed ventricular fibrillation.

The precordial thump is thought to prcduce an electrical depolarization of 2 to 5 Joules. This small shock can disrupt a reentrant pathway arrhythmia if delivered at the right moment. The precordial thump should be delivered as soon as possible after cardiac arrest or re-arrest. It is suggested that much higher levels of energy are required as time passes.

In the very early stages of V. fib. very low levels of electrical energy have resulted in conversion of rhythm. The thump may be effective only very shortly after onset of V. fib. due to the very low level of energy aeated by it. Cenerally this is considered a n~lose procedure as the patient is in cardiac arrest

There is no evidence that a precordial thump improves survival in an unwitnessed cardiac arrest.


It would have greatly improved Charlie's chances of survival to perform CPR on him, administering rescue breaths with chest compressions rather than pounding on his chest repeatedly as his brain dies from lack of oxygen. At least that's the way the body works on places that don't grant wishes (maybe).
In The Abyss, Lindsey survives, at least in part because she drowned in very cold water that slows down metaboplism and thus, increases the time a brain could survive without oxygen.
And to the person who asked about a broken neck, that would happen if one is hung from a galllow with a good, solid drop, but not if one is strung up by the neck, that would just cause strangulation.

"Slightly off topic, I saw a commerical featuring "Kate" (Evangeline Lilly) promoting a dating chat line called "Live Links"."

I saw that too, but thought I had to be wrong it was her!

Evangeline's face also shows up in the back of the Maxim/Stuff/FHM mags with the sexy ads.

Thanks for the information I appreciate that.

As far as Hurley being from the island, in the second half of the pilot he talked about his friend that was in the Gulf War, in the Airborne. He was also a bit banged up.

Has anyone seen the movie "Identity"? Don't read the following if you haven't seen it or want to see it.

The movie is basically about a group of people who end up killing each other. Later in the end, it turns out that all the characters were developed from the mind of a mental patient. Could they have used the same concept on Lost where everybody on the island and everything that happens is evolved from the mind of one person? Well thats my theory anyway.

The scene with kate crying made me

The final show will be JJ Abrams laying in bed dreaming about an island. hehe

This ep is tonight's repeat.

As are the episodes until 4/13/05.

All the episodes from now until 4/6 are repeats of the same show?!

"Simpsons did it!"

I am rewatching season one again and when I saw this episode the second time around, I immediately thought the island saved Charlie and was curious to see if anybody else had that theory when the show first aired (thus the HOLY THREAD BUMP BATMAN!)

You called it because of what happened with Locke and the wheelchair, but we now know that , and also the island brought Christian back from the dead as well.

There is NO WAY Jack saved Charlie. The island had a bigger purpose for Charlie to serve and had to keep him around. And that's how I think the island works...it saves who it needs to serve their destiny (the course correction) and it's "who cares" for the rest who get washed to the shores.

When I watched The Sopranos for the first time about a year ago I would randomly check out the DVDTalk threads on certain episodes that contained big twists or plot developments, I think if you are going to bump an old episode's thread with information about the show that occurs multiple seasons later you should still put it in spoiler tags and warn readers. Just a thought.

that's just not right.

spoiler that post.

Brilliant idea. Bump a thread about a first season episode with spoilers from subsequent seasons. Brilliant.

Put that shit in spoilers. Not cool.

I spoilered it, but I fail to see how that's a spoiler...looking at a current cast pic online or elsewhere is going to tell people that . I didn't see it as this massive secret.

i think you forgot some (end of your post).

Oops...sorry 'bout that.

Some people have never seen Lost. You do realize that?

And if they decide to start viewing it from the beginning and then come here to read through these threads, they don't need to see something from the future to ruin their enjoyment.

Some people don't look at anything. No TV Guide. No entertainment shows. No interviews. No blogs. Nothing. They just hear from a friend that the show is good so they rent it.

I just lent out my S1-4 to someone like this and now they're asking me questions and loving the show. Zero knowledge of the show beforehand.

Oh for CHRIST'S SAKE, let it go. I put the damned posts in spoilers.
