Check out this link. Not much of a spoiler, but recaps almost everything regarding the numbers. Pretty interesting.

Just got done watching it. And wow, I agree that the first scene kicked ass. Watching the episode in the pitch dark on my laptop definitely added to the suspense. Anyways, I don't have much to add at this point. Hope the season remains this strong.

I was forced to watch the episode by my wife, and my opinion of the show has nit changed one bit. Guess I'm a sour-puss too.

Yeah I never understood the enjoyment people get from...

A) Reading what is going to happen on a show they enjoy before it happens

and

B) Thinking other people care that you know AND want to know what is going to happen on a show before it happens.

The only television viewing phenomenon that irratates me more than this is the calling lines one. Unless me and my buddies are sitting around all calling lines because we love a movie than don't quote lines. I don't care that you can tell me the next line Teddy KGB is going to say it is really annoying.

I read a forum where people discuss the show and offer possible theories and discuss what has happened and tell about things that happened in the episode that maybe I missed, after I watch the episode.

Occassionally there will be a spoiler that is revealed but not confirmed, but it doesn't really reveal anything about the plot, just a minor detail to stir up thoughts and theories. Believe me, there is a thread out there where an ending has been revealed apparently, and I refuse to press on that link.

Why would anyone want to know the ending? That'd ruin the fun.

The same reason why people always go looking for presents on Christmas or other holidays. No patience, and want to know rather than finding out in due time or being surprised.

I don't think that's worth thinking about too much. With the right type of light shining in (or because we're talking about a TV show), I'm sure something could be set up to make it look like he's really above the ground.

It seemed when Jack was walking in the room with the computer just before Locke reappeared that he was in some sort of glass atrium that could easily have been above ground... Anyone notice that??? So I think part of that hatch complex does get light from above ground...

Wouldn't that be Kate, since she was the first to go down the shaft but something came up?

It also seemed to me that the opening scene was daylight shinign through to the bunker, and then there was the explosion...but it was nighttime up above, no? Hmmm. Unless the explosion was a different incident entirely.

That is what I was talking about. But when the explosion happens, he turns out all of the lights I noticed and there doesn't seem to be any daylight anymore.

Less intersting episode tonight (in my opinion). I personally find Michael to be the most annoying character in the show, and feel semi-bored when watching his backstory.

SPOILER (from this episode, so dont read if you havent seen it yet)

It wasn't anything I was looking for and I caught it easily on the first watch. Same logo as all the other stuff Desmond had.

Yes I saw it too. I don't have Tivo or anything like that so I have no way of double checking the scene but at least now I know I'm not the only who one saw a logo on the shark.

Do we all think that the "others" that were chasing Jin were the other plane survivors or did anyone else think otherwise?

Yeah I was thinking about this also. I could be the group vs. the mysterious others only flipped so that Jin and the cast are the "others" to the other people on the island.

Rousseau could potentially be playing both sides, telling each that the others are "the others." But, I personally do think we're going to see some new faction emerge, some group who's been there longer than the crash survivors.

That episode was sweet. First, I did not see the logo but I'm going to rewatch my Tivo right now. Secondly, I don't think this "new" group is the other half of the plane because they show Michelle Rodriguez' character locked up with Mike in the previews. Why would the other half lock up their own.

So what happens when the timer hits 0? It is back up to 108:00 now and I should have posted that the numbers would be inputed into the computer because I had a huge feeling that would happen.

I'd guess it's a timer that has to be reset every 108 minutes, or else the underground place blows up. So maybe if Jack pushed the button without putting in the numbers that would blow up the place as well?

Dola: The episode really pissed me off. The backstory and raft parts were fine, but it really annoyed me how they ended at exactly the moment Jack recognized Desmond for the 2nd week in a row. The 15-second preview for next week probably revealed more than the episode itself.

Somebody already mentioned that it should have been a 2-hr season premier, but I guess they had to break it into two parts. I enjoyed though and they did reveal more stuff even while showing part of last week's story line.

Yeah. I really like the show but drawing it out so much is getting ridiculous I think.

The certainly could have made it a 2-hour premier (and probably should have for our sake), but for ratings they're going to want to drag this out over as many weeks as possible. I guess I can't blame them, it's all in the game. Still, I'll admit some weeks can be pretty frustrating. I would rate this episode a C , after rating the season opener an A+.
