Another thing I just remembered that bothered the piss out of me. It was implied that the Pearl station was watching the other stations without them knowing it, via hidden cameras that the occupants of said other stations wouldn't know about. Not only did old eyepatch know about the camera, he was magically there looking at it at the exact moment that Sayid connected its feed. Apparently this was just so that he could look menancing and turn it off. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Hmm....I was thinking that one of them would be killed, so that we could then get closer to the other character as they mourned the loss of their friend.

I still don't understand how people don't seem to like this season! TONS of stuff is happening.
Remember, in the past they spent one whole frakin' season just to open up a hatch! Already on this season we've seen what that big "monster" is (black smoke), opened up some more hatches, seen and had interaction with the Others, etc...
Don't try to figure it out! Just enjoy the ride they're taking you on!

Nanotechnology was already ruled out by the producers during the first season I believe. It was suggested by a few people (myself included), and discarded. A search on the forum should give more details.

Wow. I hated to see Eko die. And I was completly unspoiled, so it was a pleasant surprise.
WTF is up with the hate regarding the Tallies' deaths? I enjoyed the Tallies episodes last season - their deaths don't mean the shows were wasted.
Face it, the idea of LOST - they are presumambly on an island - lends itself to story lines that take a long time to develop, and then be replaced by new story lines. I mean the biggest mystery of Season 1 - the hatch - was complelty blown up. Does that mean the storylines were blown? I don't think so. I enjoyed it.
I don't think the drunk driving convictions have anything to do with people's firing. And there is enough speculation on Internet (akin to 1,000 monkeys typing would eventually produce Shakespeare) the idea that somebody would die is nothing special.
And finally, the Wishmaster seeing the camera? So what? The cameras were supposed to be hidden - I'm sure since the project completly derailed - somebody figured out when the cameras went active.

I'm pissed at the writers for killing people off with DUIs. I'm sure there are production people that are doing far worse things in their private time then drinking and driving. Fucking pisses me off.

It does suck show continuity-wise for the DUI people to get killed off the show, but fuck them, anyone who drinks and drives deserves to get killed off in real life not just on a tv show.

How do you know that people aren't killed off by the writers, then the get upset about it, get drunk and drive home?
Everybody thinks that a DUI leads to the writers killing the actor off. I think that the writers killing the actor off might lead to DUIs.

Eko was on Regis and Kelly today, and stated that it was planned all along that he would be killed off? and that he is working on directing a movie now....

Perhaps this is another continuity issue, or maybe what we've seen isn't what really happened.

Now we're stuck with these two jerkoffs who don't look like they've spent 10 minutes on a desert island never mind 2 1/2 months. The chick had clean clothes and her hair done for chrissakes!

Could it be when Jack was seeing his dad in the "White Rabbit" episode it was the black smoke?
Also, when Ben was held captive in the hatch he told Locke that he was coming for him, so maybe they are his x-rays

Ok, so maybe the smoke was seen before. But was the connection made before today that it was the "monster" we heard (but never saw) in the first season?
