Eh....episode. Not that good. Final shot of Libby kinda ruined it. If she had been one of the docs, it would have been a bit better.

Not a ton of progress in the main plot, but an enjoyable episode.

Most interesting things:

-Henry saying (in reference to Mr. Friendly, "Him?! He's NOTHING!" So obviously there are higher powers than Mr. Friendly, which isn't a huge surprise, but just to actually hear it was nice.

-Henry didn't enter the numbers. I'm sure he's telling the truth. And apparently the sound we heard the first time Locke didn't get the numbers entered in time WAS the magnet powering up. So I think it's safe to assume it pulled the food parachute in.

-Libby wasn't a clinical psychologist, she was a nut! Surprised me anyways...

See, that's what pretty much everybody was assuming after she said she was a clinical psychologist a while back. Being a patient was a lot bigger shocker.

grrrrrrrrrr... damn storm!!!

lost power as a laughing Dave decided to base jump. By time I got everything back up again, Hurley was slobbin' down Lib. So, what did I miss?

Thought it was a brilliant episode.

1. Finally made Hurley and interesting character. I'd hated all the other Hurley centered eps.

2. Good twists with Dave.

3. Loved that Dave brought up the island and everything being all in Hurley's mind as he was still in a coma. Great wink at fan theories (while debunking them) again, as that had been a theory I'd heard on the radio and numerout other places.

4. Clocktease is over, finally proof that it does nothing.

5. See where Hurley new Libby from. I wonder if she was really a patient, or if she's really Dr. who works for Dharma and was just "undercover" then scoping out people for the island experiment (if that's what this all is).

I didn't really think about that when the "quack" brought it up.
Hmm. Did they ever say how many died?

nothin really, after dave jumped, it went to comercial. as hurley is about to jump, liby comes up to him, he tells her that all of it isn't real... and then she gets him to belive that everything is, and then they kiss.

Good episode overall, nice surprise there.

I watch the show with my mother, and she is convinced that the producers are just making all of this up as it goes along, and that there is no real plan.

Thought they said 2 died.

Also, "Henry" made it sound like the "Swan" hatch was a shithole compared to wherever he came from?

No he just said it was a "joke" because the timer didn't do anything, just made sounds like a magnet, etc. showed the hyroglyphics, then started at 108 again.

Okay, good. Thanks for the synopsis.
Wonder what she'd think about "24"?


And 2 died? They shoulda made it 4.
Huh?

A bit boring with Hurley's backstory except the Libby part at the end. I like the island stuff, especially the Locke and Henry conversation. Next week looks friggin AWESOME!

Will we ever see Michael again?

Hopefully no. He's annoying.

OK, I think nothing happens with the numbers and execute, but there is no proof yet. You can't belive fake Henry until you see it. For all we know something does happen if they're not entered in time, and maybe he wants Locke not to enter them.
I think the food drop was just scheduled, since the blast doors just came down on their own. Speaking of food drops, I was thinking another one was going to drop on Hurley when he was standing where the other one landed.
Pretty good episode. Even though it's a fan theory, I'm a little concerned that this is a way out for the writers. So, until Hurley dies I don't know if I would rule it out.
I loved how Hurley went over all of the nicknames Sawyer called him while he was beating him up!

Sawyer: "Do you think Sayid needs a job?"

OK, it almost sounded as if he was saying it was a joke in that it was nothing compared to where he came from.

Crap. The hatch does nothing? Does this mean that the last time Locke didn't push the button in time? Not sure I buy the magnet pulls in food thing. Pulls in food from where?

- Who is this 'he' that they are all afraid of?
- Why can't God see the island they are on?

Am I the only one thinking it might be TOO obvious that the doors closing, the magnet powering up, and the food landing were all related? I think maybe that's just what they want us to think, and like Molson said, "Henry" might have just said he didn't enter the numbers so Locke won't do it sometime.

Otherwise, it seems the only time the #s aren't supposed to be entered is if the hatch is in a lockdown, and that is just at food drop time. So what would the magnet do if it was allowed to fully power up and the people weren't behind the doors?

I said that exact thing to myself tonight

Was it just me or did Libby kind of frown when she was leading Hurley away from the cliff?

According to the previews


As for tonight's episode, I thought the "Dave's not here, man!" twist was totally predictable -- I called it the first time Hurley was in his therapy session, and when they showed everyone ignoring Dave on the basketball court, that confirmed it for me. On the other hand, I didn't see the "Libby as patient" twist coming.

Maybe this is all in Libby's head.

Decent episode. The scene on the cliff was right out of Open Your Eyes(only Hurley didn't jump), but still some pretty cool moments tonight.

She definately did and they made a point of showing it. I agree with what someone else said that maybe she was there scoping out the place for potential people to be in the "experiment" or whatever it is.

I will say though that tonight's episode kinda messed with my mind. Just can't tell what's real, what's not, what's a lie, do the writers really have a logical plan, or are they making this up? Geez, who knows. But I gotta say, if they're making this up as they go along, there's gonna be a lot of real disappointed fans. :)

Desmond said it to Jack

Actually, it may just be that she knows where Hurley has seen her before. That she was actually in the instutition with him, and perhaps isn't actually a psychologist.

I think she may just be frowning because she's lying to him about it, or because she fears that he may remember where he knows her from.

I don't necessarily believe that it's because she was an "operative" or anything of the sort. Although, I am more than willing to accept that as a possibility.
