two weeks of waiting.

You're in for a treat

Which theory is that?

That Walt has the Shinning.


Anyone think maybe Walt had an nightmare on the flight and brought the plane down? Or maybe he is the reason so many people survived?

What's the "black rock?" And why's Jack gotta be such a damned realist? hehe

I think the debate is over about whether the flashbacks are what the person is thinking at the time or whether it's a device for the viewer. No way Michael was remembering back to those things when he was trying to rescue Walt.

Great episode, Locke told Walt to visualize throwing the knife into the tree and although he was unsuccessful previously once he thought about it he was able to stick it in the tree, Walt reads a comic book that includes a polar bear and next thing you know a real polar bear appears on the tropical island they are stranded on, also when Walt was studying at home with his mom and his adopted father Brian he mentions he hates birds anyway so why should he study them and then a real bird falls dead out of the sky. Walt clearly has a SPECIAL power. Anyone care to speculate how Claire managed to get away from Ethan?

I think more importantly, Michael couldn't have recalled those flashbacks, considering some of them took place in Australia without him present (or was that Walt's flashback?).

great episode

2 week break works perfectly in that smallville returns next week and i won't have to record one while watching the other (till feb 9)

viewer device -- I wouldn't read much more into it

I would guess they took what they wanted from her, the baby, and then kicked her ass out of their camp. I'm sure they didn't want to have to deal with her.

My TiVo cut off one minute early (this one minute longer/shorter shit is pissing me off) and I missed the very "astonishing" ending. So, I saw up to the point where Charlie is reading the diary, reads about the rock and runs to the others about it, next thing we know we are seeing Boone and Locke in the forest and we hear a rumble. Someone finish it for me. I figure that Claire came back, but fill in all the gaps.
ransom

nothing really to fill in, Boone and Locke hear a noise that they think is Vincent (the dog) and Claire emerges with some weird marks under her eyelids (like she'd been beat up or something) and she didn't appear to be pregnant anymore.
Set your Tivo to record 5 minutes longer if you're concerned about missing the end, you can do that in the Season Pass settings.

That episode was completely badass.

It looked like they were really bringing the split between the two camps of survivors to another level w/ Michael and his threats to Locke. But then they kissed and made up after they saved Walt. Or did they?

Anyhow, I really enjoyed this ep - it went by way too fast. And the Michael getting hit by the car was a "Woah" moment for me, too.

It looks really sharp in HD. the early episode with the drowning swimmer looked really awesome.
and not to mention Kate swimming at the waterfall.

I'm very disappointed that the producers have broken their "everything is scientifically possible" promise. That was either a lie, or they've gotten lazy in the writing and have decided "anything goes."

On the other hand, somebody get that kid a Playboy!

So the real question is why did they want the baby. Seems like the kids have powers with their imagination on the island. debunked though since walt could make shit happen "maybe" off the island. Perhaps nathan just likes eating babies.

the scientically possible promise looks like it was just crapped all over.

Walt needs to visualize a Luxury Cruise liner showing up in the bay. Maybe a luxury travel magazine or something.

I thought I saw on Claire's diary the words "I HATE HIM" written on the bottom, the scene did'nt stay on long so I don't know who she was talking about.

Actually, you'll be waiting THREE weeks. February 9 is 21 days from now. That's almost a full month with no Lost!!

Important thing is the Claire is alive and safe now. They just need to form a search party to backtrack Claire's trail to find the baby and Ethan and eliminate that threat. Claire might even remember enough of the trail to guide the party to Ethan and the baby.

The survivors can't be feeling safe with someone like Ethan running around loose on the island . I think it's in everyone's best interest to hunt down Ethan in a big group so they won't be afraid he'll kidnap someone else.

Ethan ate the baby. I guessed it first!


walt's just lucky he's old and his flesh is stringy and tough or else ethan would be having a grand meal.

When I saw them placing the french woman's map together and saw the triangle I thought maybe they crossed over the bermuda triangle and that made them crash.

You know what that means? Amelia Earhart is somewhere on the island!

Great episode tonight. Of all the backstories I expected this one to be the least interesting, but I was quite wrong. It's gonna be like hell waiting 3 weeks for a new episode. Why can't every show be like 24 and Alias this year and just run strait through? There are people out there (like my parents) who forget about a show if it's in reruns for a few weeks. It's too long of a wait!

For those interested..What does this say about Lost?

Green Lantern/Flash: Faster Friends Part I - About fifty years ago an alien spacecraft fell to Earth and in the interests of "national security" the Flash (Jay Garrick) and the Green Lantern (Alan Scott) were called in to eliminate the threat. In they're absolute trust of the government (yes there was a time when people trusted the government, hard to believe isn't it?), they never thought that the alien might be peaceful, and attacked unquestioningly. Having defeated it, Flash and GL were pushed to the background, not even thanked. Realizing the mistake they had made, they hid the space ship in a place where no one would find it. Fifty years later, the alien escapes from the government lab that held it prisoner for so long, and he's pissed. Not only was he locked up for fifty years, but the tests run on him gave him an incurable cancerous disease. The first thing he does is kill the man in charge of his incarceration, then finds Jay and Alan in order to retrieve the ship. When the two disappear, their wives contact the most recent Flash and Green Lantern and tell them the story. The boys aren't happy to be working together, but concede that it's necessary to save Jay and Alan. Using his ring, Kyle is able to pinpoint Alan's signature and find the buried space ship. The alien apparently has some pretty powerful psionic abilities and forces Alan and Jay to protect him while he sends out a signal and sets the ship for self-destruct. Kyle and Wally manage to save Jay and Alan, but don't stop the ship from exploding. The boys seem to have saved the day, but the alien's final words hang heavy in their minds, something about it being "too late for all of us."

Flash/Green Lantern: Faster Friends Part II - After a quick recap of the last issue, we find that Jay Garrick is dying. His hyper-metabolism is actually causing a disease that has been slowly killing him, leading up until now. He has about twenty four hours to live. That doesn't stop him from finishing his duty, which at this point is to stop an alien invasion. The message that Alien X (the name of the alien from the previous issue) sent was an "invitation" to a parasitic race that apparently sweeps across worlds leaving nothing in their wake. Portals have been opening across the world and these aliens have been pouring out. Jay and Wally go back to the remains of Alien X's ship, only to meet Alan and Kyle. The younger pair of the quartet decide to go back through one of the portals and fight the aliens on their home turf. When they arrive, something weird happened, they end up in each other's costumes, thinking they're the other. These scenes are very amusing: Kyle thinking he's Wally making fun of the Green Lantern, and Vice Versa. Eventually with the help of Jay and Alan the boys realize who they are, and start kicking butt. They come across the mother alien and manage to drive it off, convincing it that it's actions are wrong. The alien also gives them transportation off the planet, in the form of four portals. They figure out that what happened earlier with the mistaken identities was because Kyle and Wally went through the same portal, thus the alien offered four portals, one for each of them. Alan suggests that if he and Jay enter one portal at the same time, some of his healthy cells would transfer over to Jay's. Jay suggests that this could work the other way as well and won't let Alan risk it. Alan goes ahead and risks it, and (surprise, surprise) it works, Jay is cured, and there are no ill-effects to Alan. Both Jay and Alan tell the boys that they hated each other when they started out, but became best friends, and if Kyle and Wally can overcome the friction that their relationship seems to be based on, they might just become the best team ever. That's saying a lot considering the legacy, first Alan and Jay, then Barry and Hal. Those are some tough acts to beat. These issues take place around the time of GL #83.
