I find it hard to believe that so many would not know their blood type. I've known that I am O+ since I was a little kid. I also know the blood types of my immediate family members.

Anyhoo - another good episode.

Boo hoo now he can't buy a house in Hawaii. My heart bleeds.

I dont think it was so out of character for Sawyer to give up his alcahol...Sawyer realizes that Kate is not an easily flustered character and when he saw her come to the beach with an utter look of horror and desparation on her face, he knew it wasnt time for his bullshit.

So Boone's death sets the rest of the season into motion?
Jack and the castaways vs. a 'changed' Locke maybe?

Well, same idea. I missed the part where she said it was her fault. As for a time frame, was Locke's timeframe specifically revealed? 10 years? Doesn't really matter, Jack's is pretty flexible.

10 years ago - Car accident with future wife
8 years ago - she is completely rehabilitated and they marry

factor in 3-4 years they are married plus possible divorce and that brings us up to the magical 4 years before the plane crash number, possibly when he failed to save the girl his dad butchered.

The reason I think this is because Jack's dad was unusually perky in the flashback. Not the hardened, "I hate my life" drunk from previous flashbacks. So I definitely think it was further back than previous flashbacks. Possibly putting it in line with Locke's timeframe.

that's what I thought too.
When Shannon was having breathing problems it wasn't as much of a big deal and he couldn't have helped even if he wasn't being an asshole.

I really hope they don't have jack's wife's accident have anything to do with locke. I'm ok with some overlap in the pasts of the characters, but I think that's too much.

Similar to what they do in the reality shows series, is going to be "recap" show concentrating on the major characters, the "mysteries" surrounding the island and the relationships with each other and the island.

"Lost," 10.3/17, easily won the 8 p.m. hour for ABC. A special edition of "Dateline" put NBC in second with a 6.8/11. FOX was a fairly meager third, averaging 3.9/6 with a "That '70s Show" rerun and "The Simple Life 3." CBS took fourth with an "Amazing Race" clip show. "America's Next Top Model," 3.0/5, was fifth for UPN, ahead of a "Smallville" repeat on The WB.

Does anyone remember what kind of operation Jack's dad was performing when he killed his patient? I wondered if it was at all possible that he was working on Jack’s wife. Sometimes back injuries need more operations later and it would explain his desperate need to save her (besides the fact that he seems to need to save everybody). I don’t know why, but I get the impression that Jack’s wife is no longer alive.

I got a good laugh at Hurley's comment to how Jack looked after the blood transfusion.

Given the mystery surrounding Claire's baby, anybody else expecting something like this?

Glad to see Boone gone. His character never got my interest, but at least it's much more interesting than Charlie. I hope they kill Charlie in season 2.

I don't know my blood type either.

My blood type is Red

Yeah, I agree. Plus, he was getting extremely bad headaches until Jack helped him out and got him some glasses. Even though he used to be an ass, he's got to be at least a little grateful for that.

I knew my blood type, but can't remember. I gave blood a number of times until I had to go on blood pressure pills.

It was good to see Julie Bowen again. I saw her name in the opening credits, and was waiting for her first screen appearance.

Sawyer isn't keeping it real.
What's with the nitpicking....it's been shown he is not heartless ..he may be an ass but I'm sure he could tell by whatsherface's demeanor that something serious was afoot.
I imagine he has no beef with the newborn(yet) so he gets a pass for smiling there.

I also thought the whole one dies but another is born was too obvious of a plot device.

Don't know my bood type either...have also donated.

I thought she said her tire blew out and she went over the median into oncoming traffic


Pretty sure he didn't but not positive

There were 50 survivors of the crash. The pilot did survive the crash, so why wouldn't he be considered a survivor?

50 survivors
Man gets sucked into the engine.
Pilot becomes T-Rex lunch.
Marshall dies (or is murdered, to use Jack's words)
Joanna drowns.
Ethan declared to not be on the passenger manifest, so not one of the 50.
Scott is killed by Ethan.
Ethan is killed by Charlie.
Boone dies/Devil baby is born.

50 - 6 deaths + 1 birth = 45.

I was surprised to hear that Ian didn't know he was being killed off. I had assumed if someone was being killed off before the end of the season, they would know sooner.

Well, with Claire's baby and all the heroine on the island now, I'm sure we'll see Charlie figured more prominently in future episodes.

She blew a tire. And i'm almost positive that Locke has admitted taht he'd been in the chair for four years prior to the crash. Not sure that would jive.

Oh, and I'm A negative. I could have helped boone

Really?

Every poll I've seen on this, the majority didn't know.

This thread seems to be leaning that way as well based on those saying whether they know or not.

My opinion of the carbon blobs usually isn't high , but I would just figure personal information like this would be natural to know. Who knows - maybe me knowing mine for 25+ years is because my father was a doctor.

I'm not too happy to hear that Boone's death wasn't a long range plan, and just something that was recently added to calm bad blood from the two previous death-swerves. It means that they might be writing the show on the fly and don't have any answers to the thousands of questions that have been asked so far.

Can someone confirm or refute whether or not, in general, the pilot and copilot are part of a flight manifest?

I got a different meaning from the article. I took it to mean the writers had (for better or worse) leaked that a main character was going to die, and the fakeouts with Charlie and Shannon were simply precursors to actually killing off a principal, in this case: Boone.
