In their weekly podcast, Team Darlton announced that the code name for this year's season-ending twist is "The Frozen Donkey Wheel." Interpret as you like. Oh, and here's the kicker: It's not even the last scene of the episode!

Just caught up with this episode. It was good. Overall I'm very satisfied with these intial eight episodes. I think its the strongest the show has been since season 1 for sure.

Sayid and Ben will make appearances.
Sayid is one of the pallbearers at his former love, Nadia's, funeral.

On-Island Spoilers:

The snipers emerge through the jungle in elaborate camouflage uniforms.
We have not seen the last of Danielle.

The episode shows how Ben convinced Sayid to work for him.

In odd semi-related news I've been watching Brisco County jr. and noticed Carlton Cuse helped create it and was a producer. I had no idea.

I hope we have not seen the last of Danielle.
Was sad to see Carl get it too. Her would have been an interesting character to explore.

My housemates and I had a mini marathon of Brisco the other night. I had forgotten that Cuse was involved in it. We were joking around that the main cause of everything on Lost is due to.......the Orb

No kidding. I watched seasons 1-2 again a few weeks over and finally sat through the end credits. I actually had no idea Paul Dini worked on Lost.

M.C. Gainey was in the first couple episodes as well. Another nice Lost tie-in.

I wasn't with the whole "All this fuss over a stupid baby." comment. It's all become rather silly.

Maybe a little with the green hawk comment...

The actors who played Tom and Mikhail show up as baddies in Brisco County, so there's you another connection...

But we can still have incessant bickering based on unfounded assumptions as well as spoilers that may or may not be intentionally misleading! That should fill that void nicely.

Use your brain. There's no way that's true. Unless...

yes, because having crazy or wild theories in these threads is something to be ignored. If that were the case, nearly half of the tread would be not worth reading.

Wow, I knew Arizona was in a different time zone but I didn't realize it was completely days the past as well.

Digging up old posts and taking digs at me DT? You need a new hobby.

Yeah, heaven forbid I don't watch the show when it airs!

It is a dig at you. It's not a hobby, but it annoys me to no end that you act like you are some kind of producer on this show with inside information. Granted, you read the spoiler sites and probably do know more than we do. But the way you post here makes quite a few of us avoid your posts and these threads. Sorry if the truth hurts.

Well DT, when you are ready to make some kind of contribution at all to this thread, I'll stop writing you off as well too.

Your holier than thou attitude is pervasive throughout this forum, and whatever opinion you have of me, believe me, is shared towards you by me in spades.

You are missing the point. People avoid contributing because of the crap you post. Some of the information is good information and people enjoy it. But on the other hand, when people post a theory or an opinion, you are quick to shoot it down, as if you are the one that created the show. I have no opinion of you other than what I see in these Lost threads. Keep doing what you are doing, but personally, I'd like to see you tone down some of the "attitude" in your posts.

I really doubt my presence in any of these threads has any effect on ANYONE'S posting patterns. That's among the silliest things I've ever read.

My responses are not attacks of theories, only comments, which I or anyone else is entitled to do. His post was not a theory - it was a part of a pattern of pervasive comments meant only to take contrary positions to clearly established show events. It was derailing the thread, and my suggestion was that it be ignored.

I don't have anywhere near the attitude you suggest. Whatever you read into my threads is simply whatever negative opinion you've developed of me over the years we've spent here. This isn't remotely the first thread you've done this in, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

If you feel like you need the last word, go ahead.

You obviously missed the many, many members that have made quips about it here and there. But whatever. I don't care about the last word, but you'll obviously think otherwise since I'm posting a response.

As for the episode, it was much, much better than last week. Not a great "cliffhanger" to leave us with, but it'll suffice since it's such a short break.

Actually, I'd have to agree with Deftones on this one.

Now, you are seriously pissing me off. Derailing the thread? Now, the thread has to go a certain way to please you? Jesus christ. What I said was absolutely a theory and I damn well started it when the show first aired. Way before any podcast about Aaron being part of the O6. The first thing I thought of was what if that's not the Aaron.
