Curious to hear what other people think.
When did that flashback happen? Right after the divorce?

tonight's ep was strange.... what was up with Sawyer and Kate drama? It seemed very forced.
And what was up with "marking" Juliette? So all the "others" will know she's bad? I just don't get it. I was perplexed this whole episode.
And the stewardess is an other too? I'm lost.

I didn't expect answers, I just wanted a good episode, it didn't deliver.

bai ling is hot. the 3 questions that were supposed to be answered didnt help any. the others took the kids to give them a better life, but why?
jacks tattoos mean he walks among us but isnt one of us....so when he was getting tattoed was he supposed to think she was actually tattoing that he was a great man and leader on his arm or what? and what was the third question that was supposed to be answered? what happened to the stewardess? I forgot all about her after the first episode. who cares?

So, is Juliet still playing Jack? Was the trial/judgment a sham or for real? I'm leaning towards sham, to get Jack into Juliet's confidence.
Sawyer and Kate was sort of weird, maybe a little dumbed down in terms of how they related to one another.

At least we know that the kids are ok. Also, I think the tattoo plays significance in aspect of religion and relation to what people on the outside world believe as to what these people believe or are made to believe. The Others are seeming more and more like a cult as the weeks go on. I think what Cindy meant by "we came to watch" was referring to the "trial" of Juliette and nothing related to what they were going to do to Jack.

so-so episode Bai Ling looked super hot!. Not any answers though. Next weeks looks really good though (like seeing that hand in the dogs hand, reminded me of the slave ship) . Cant wait to get away from the others alittle. I wished they revealed alittle more then Jacks tattoo, i dont think anyone was really wondering about that.
I still love this show, i don't know why people have all these problems with this show, still alot of fun to watch. I can see getting upset not getting anwsers but this is still one of the funniest and most enjoyable shows to watch. I just dont know why people would drop this show or want it canceled. Its still an excellent show. They just need to get away from the others.

First Season: This show kicks ass!
Second Season: Decent, still one of my favorite shows.
Third Season: Wtf is going on? Why am I still watching this?
If Jack's tattoos were one of the major secrets exposed today, I have lost all intrest, and hope in the show. Sadly, I can see this show lasting another 5 seasons now. In season 7 a complete mind blower is going to happen when they tell the world find out that Kate has her belly button pierced!!
*sigh*

last week everyone is saying how great the episode was, one of the best episodes ever, then you get a so-so episode and you get post like this. This show is still alot of fun and enjoyable and still a excellent show. its not that horrible. I think the shows ad's was misleading though

another gripe I have with this show dont get me wrong, still the best show on TV right now IMO, until Sopranos starts up again)....none of the Losties EVER bother to ask the others WTF is going on with Dharma, the hatches, the smoke monster, etc. Another good question is how the Others are able to make their voices (whispers)heard all around the jungle whenever they were planning an attack.

I'd guess the signficance of the tattoo is that Bai Ling's character told him he was a leader but angry, yet he was marked with, "he walks among us but is not one of us."
That would explain the beat down and banning he got, as well as Jack stating, "that is what it says but it's not what it means."
I also think it is a clue storywise that Jack is being tricked by another woman again but I digress ....

I'm getting frustrated with Lost myself. It's been a fun show, but this season just seems like they are grasping at straws for ideas; and not moving the plot forward.
I was speaking with a friend and she too feels bleh about Lost these days, its almost becoming a chore as the episodes just don't have the pop they did in S1 and to a certain degree in S2. Last week's ep was great I too will agree, but I've almost forgotten about the other people (Like Rose and Bernard if they are still even on the show)Here's hoping Lost is like 24 and picks up in the second half!

Because I knew all that going into the episode, I was not disappointed. I think that Juliet is still playing Jack, and I'm still wondering where the rest of Jack's tats came from. We only saw the chinese lettering on his bicep after Bai Ling gave him the tattoo, so I'm wondering where the design work came from and who did it. Should be a good episode next week when we finally get back to the beach and the rest of the survivors.

No one mentioned it, but i thought it was obvious that "he walks among us but is not one of us" had implications to Jack being with the "others," he is with them, but not one of them, Im trying to make sense of it in those terms, and how that makes him "a leader / angry / frightened" or whatever else Bai ling said...
