I think this Jacob/list thing is a red herring. My best guess is that Jacob is just their man on the outside and the list is probably a version of the flight manifest that didn't include Jack because of the way he had to talk his way onto the plane. I think they definitely want us to buy that either Jack isn't supposed to be alive on the island or that he wasn't supposed to be one of the people abducted by Michael. I'm just not buying it.

the jack/kate/sawyer storyline is stupid and unbelievable.

kates flashbacks suck, her story is getting more and more convoluted. Its ridiculous.

This show is slowly turning into a very bad soap opera.

'The Others' are a joke. Who are they and what are they doing?? who cares.

It's clear that with the ratings plummeting that I am not alone with that sentiment.

Do you continue to watch the show just to complain about it?

Again, a misconception. Ratings for Season 2 averaged 14.2m (it started incredibly strong, and dropped considerably each week, especially once the on-again-off-again hiatuses started), the ratings so far for Season 3 are at 16.4m.

I'm enjoying the show a great deal this season, the flashbacks seem to just be spinning their wheels and reveal little we didn't already know about the characters, but it oddly isn't that distracting to me.

might be a stretch, but she could hve been crying because she relieved that she wasn't prego. Like the FBI guy said, she knows she can never settle down. If she's pregnant, that would have made it nearly impossible for her to leave.

Not sure who she really wants to be with, but that was set up for Jack.

Do we have to spoilerize theories or speculations? If so, sorry I didnt...

if this is hte case, why would she have sex with Sawyer? I don't get that part.

And can someone explain why the guy wants to kill sawyer so bad?

Instead of screaming "I can't, I can't" over and over, couldn't Kate have just said to Jack that they're on a separate, smaller island? It's not like it's a hard concept to explain, and it would've taken just as long as saying "I can't" over and over...

I just get frustrated at aritficial stupidity that conveniently comes and goes just in order to drive the plot.

Actually, it would've been a much better ending if Kate had said "We can't run - we're on a different island", and then cut to a close up of the resulting surprised/startled look on Jack's face, and end.

"Eye Patch Man" is actor Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster, Another 48 Hours). I saw his name in the guest credits last week and recognized him in his split second of screen time. I'm thinking he may be Jacob.

Am I the only one that got the impression that Alex was Ben's daughter? Why else was he so worried about whether she asked about him? Do we know that Russo was pregnant before she crashed on the island?

What, is Jayne hosting America's Funniest Home Videos this week?

At least they are getting work.

I coincidentally watched Slither with Nathan Fillion before I watched Lost last night. I didnt know he was going to be in that episode.

Why dont any of the characters ask the questions that we would ask, like where are we? What is that thing? Instead everyone has to stay silent so that they can drag the plot out.

Whatever the reason was, Jack looked at the screen, got the gun, and came back and stared at it again..then Ben came in and said something like he was surprised too, he thought it would have been Jack. And then boom, he changed his mind, right then and there, and scheduled surgery for the next morning. So it had an impact on him.

Prior to watching this episode, I had thought that EW had indicated prior to the season that something mind-blowing was going to happen in this episode and was very disappointed that nothing that amazing had actually happened; but now checking their website, that's not exactly what they said:

Spoiler:

Actually nothing in that quote states that they were talking about this episode. I'm reading half way through the season, and this episode is what about 1/4th...maybe i'm reading it wrong.

I liked this episode. I don't care if they solve everything yet. It was compelling and tense...that's all i need.

Exactly, Ben gave his word to get him off "this" Island... I noticed that right away also.
