I notice they've made Juliet look exceptionally beautiful these last couple episodes, while Kate loosk like something the cat dragged in, ate, and spit up. It's pretty clear where the producer's hearts lie.

I hope Radzinsky dies a slow, horrible death.
I never hated a character as much as I hate that douchebag.
And grow some balls, Horace.
No wonder Dharma doesn't survive. They are led by a bunch of asshats who don't know how to lead.

Ausiello:
Exploding that hydrogen bomb will vaporize the entire island. (At least it would in the real world.) Underground testing of H-bombs are usually done at the depth of thousands of feet (about 5000 feet) and they're nowhere near that deep. Atomic bombs (like the ones they dropped on Japan in WW2) have a yield measured in the kilotons of TNT. Hydrogen bombs have a yield measured in the megatons. That's a LOT of energy boys and girls.

Speculation: I think that dead bodies that are re-animated on the island (Christian and Locke) are not the originals. They probably have some of the original consciousness (and all the memories) of the original but I think the island also injects its own consciousness into these bodies and controls them for its own ends. Locke wanting to assassinate Jacob came out of nowhere and it must be the island that's behind this.
One last thing: Anyone notice that the island has no name? Doesn't this strike you as odd? I know that even the smallest pieces of floating dirt in my area has a name, yet here's this really big island in the middle of the Pacific and it has no name. It's always just "the island". I find this odd.

I don't find it odd that it is nameless. If it bugs you, you could always call it Bespin.

What the hell would the show have done if Richard (can't remember his real name) was still starring on CBS' "Cane"?

I have to agree with the comment about Elizabeth Mitchell. She's looked absolutely stunning the last several episodes including this one.
The time paradoxes thing is just really weird. So, this was the 1st time Richard was told to interact with the "Other" Locke? What about earlier in the season when this happened for the 1st time?
Yeah if Nestor Carbonell's show "Caine" were a hit and still on, none of these storylines would have existed. It was a matter of convenience that he was re-written back into the show.

remember, when we saw that scene the first time, it was when Locke was flashing through time. We saw it from time-flashing locke's POV. We never knew WHEN it was. And now we know, as we saw it from present-day, non time-flashing locke's POV.

As I mentioned earlier I don't see how Richard could say that he saw the Losties die in the purge since it is obvious that few if any are even part of Dharma when the purge occured in the 80s. Was this just supposed to be simply a shocking revelation by Richard to make the audience gasp" despite the fact that it probably didn't even happen?




on it.
