It wasn't posted for you to agree with.

Two things I've noticed, you don't agree with much, and you like to post about that.

Well there is other things that it could be:

1) Government conspiracy
2) Rich / Crazy Man
3) Sick Game
4) Fate
5) Alternate Dimension

Etc.

As to 5, that one is REALLY considered to be the most plausible "out there" theory going around. The Oceanic Flight site for a long time had Flight 815 LANDING in LA, on time. It recently changed to not say that anymore. Kind of like Gervace

Here they are using the numbers again in the latitude/longitude.

Just got to this from Tivo and wanted ta add:

Just cuz Jin says "The Utters/udders/others" doesn't mean they are the others. If they all speak French, or English or some language other than Korean, the best he could do is guess as to who they are.

(I only post this since someone a few pages back said things like 'definitely' and 'positively' when talking about Jin's discovery of the Others.)

Love the thread. Gotta watch it closer to actual time next week.

I believe that Michelle Rodriguez's character is part of that group that attacks Michael, Jin and Sawyer. I think that she is in the cage to make them believe that she is not part of them and rather a captive herself. She will get them to divulge information about their camp and what is going on and then she will turn on them (or maybe she wont). That is my take on the situation. I guess we will see what happens tomorrow night.

With Jin, the whole camp was expecting an attack? from the ones called, the others.
so he'd assume any group coming around or attacking would be the others. regardless if they were the other survivors, or the other Others.

it doesn't make much sense of the other survivors to attack or try to infiltrate the main group. atleast none that i can grasp. even if they went all lord of the flies. it would make more sense that those people have been infected by the "sickness." or are for some reason/some how working for/influenced by the Others.

French woman said her group got sick and she killed them.
Desmond asked Locke about his group being sick too.

The Hatch, a part of it seemed to me to be boarded up and somewhat covered over. i take that to mean Desmond wasn't always alone. I assume his group also became "sick." he survived and isolated himself from them.

My only fear is the show mind end up in a "The Stand" like territory.

I'm down for that.

From what I read in the initial interviews with the show writers and creators last season was to go to that route eventually. Maybe this will be the season when we will see the split in the camp.

They're banyan trees. They're quite plentiful in Hawaii. Although in Honolulu, those trees can develop a really bad rat infestation problem. And homeless people sleep in the trees at the some of the parks here.

That would be cool, but I prefer the idea of the tail section vs. our group from the first season.

Wow, I was thinking the SAME thing, kudos to you. Since Dharma is in fact a Hindu word, it would make perfect sense for it to be an elephant's trunk in that logo.

I'm a bit lost here. Do Hindus have something against serpents? A quick web search suggests that there are in fact serpents in the faith and that they are called "nagas".

Hindus have nothing against snakes. In fact, there is a holiday/festival devoted to 'em. http://www.india9.com/i9show/25581.htm. That is a very short summary of the festival. Go here for a more detailed one: http://www.bawarchi.com/festivals/nagpanchami.html

Two of the main Gods in the Trinity, Shiva & Vishnu have some aspect of snakes concerned with them. Shiva is shown with several serpants around his neck & in one of Vishnu's poses he is often shown laying down on a bed of snakes.

According to people I know, "naga" is a particular snake-God. "nagas" are particular hill-tribe peoples still living in India.

In that case, are you guys suggesting an elephant trunk because you think it looks more like one?

When I first saw the logo, the first thing that came to mind was a swan. Then, almost immediately, the trunk of an elephant came to mind. After a few days of considering the options, I chose to go with the elephant trunk, for reasons that make sense to me. Does it not look like one to anyone else? As far as it being a serpent, maybe, but that image never came to mind.

I had a feeling that this would happen. I really wonder where this whole "corporation" business is headed. The whole numbers thing is starting to get silly. I hope there is something logical behind it all.

Hey,

Right at the end of the episode, when Sawyer and Michael run up to Jin and he says "The others are coming" or something like that in heavily accented English - if Jin can speak English (albeit broken) why is he so pissed about his wife learning English? Judging from how he behaved in the first season, I think Jin is way to uptight.

did you just watch this ep?

He's over in the UK where S2 just premeired.

I think he just said "Udders..." His picking up a few words isn't quite the same thing as his wife hiding the fact that she could speak English.

Yeah it sounded more like "udders" but he means "others"
TBH I think he's angry because Sun had/has a *secret*, not necesaarily the fact itself that she can speak English. But maybe more will be revealed later.
And yes thats right, the "Adrift" episode has just been shown in the UK, S2 has just premiered there.

Its when Locke doesnt know the answer to the riddle that Desmond realises he is not "him" (whoever "him" is).
The numbers still hold mystery to me though it is kind of wierd they get used for everything.

Oops
