Hey I don't post them on here, just let the curious know where to find. I can also tell you the ending to many movies that are out as well if you would like?

His pet name for his gay lover.

My girlfriend decided that we needed to watch all of the episodes and catch up with the show, and is thoroughly hooked. Looks like season 2 will have it's claws in me as well.

Fwiw, there's quite a bit of skill at work with this show, and it's pretty watchable (in part because they focus so much on character, which is one of the reasons Twin Peaks was so successful as a cult hit despite the mysteries eventually being unraveled). Guess I'll be along for the ride now.

Oh, and another fwiw: since Sawyer was reading Watership Down the similarities between the bunnies and the castaways predicaments were mentioned. Didn't see anyone mention that he was later shown reading A Wrinkle in Time, which makes me think we're in for some time related hijinks. My guess is that the eventual mystery of the show revolves around the issue of time.

There are many different speculations I have read on the Lost forums. Many people have analyzed in so much detail, it is ridiculous. (Yours above is one of the many speculations noted).

Man, no cable = the sux0rs

I could get better reception by rubbing two sticks together.

This is one show I'm not getting suckered into this year. Not worth the time, I doubt the plot moves any further this year than it did last year.

Looking forward to seeing this after missing the first season.

[cthomer5000]

Fantastic episode tonight. I was especially fond of the opening, thought it was a very, very cool.

[samifan24]

I watched the one hour recap of the first season to prep myself for tonight's season two premiere. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am now hooked on this show!

[Honolulu_Blue]

It was very cool and very spooky. Good stuff.

[Easy Mac]

that was a horribly disappointing episode.

[jbmagic]

there another thread already started.

I think this show needs another thread, needs to start catching up to the werewolfs.

Either that or more cowbell.

Personally, I refuse to start posting in an already 10 page thread about the new season.

Those are my thoughts exactly. Then the rest of the season would be boring. That would be like in the 6th sense if you knew Bruce Willis was dead, or Memento in the right direction, or if I had any clue what the hell Mullholland Drive was about.

[ice4277]

I was actually surprised there was that much stuff 'revealed'.

I'd like anything to happen... but I'll make sure not to post on a messageboard again so I don't disrupt anyone's ideas about anything.

[Raiders Army]

As I thought last season's finale was woefully bad, the first episode of the second season was good. At least we're getting somewhere.

How did nothing happen in the episdoe though, that's what i'm not grasping? If anything, they covered more ground in this epsidode than I expected.

Agreed completely - loved the episode. Gave me chills a couple times, and I was hooked.

Me too. To jump right in and show you - in the first scene - that someone is living with the comfort of modern conveniences in the hatch showed quite a bit IMO. The fun of this show is speculating/discussing what might be the secret of the Island. If they revealed that, then this show becomes nothing more than a soap opera set on an island or a dramatic Gilligan's Island with better production values. I have no problem with the answers they reveal leading to even more questions. In fact, I rather enjoy it.

[cthomer5000]

Going back the introduction, I really thought it was outstanding. I assumed it was a flashback, as did everyone I imagine, up until the point where you heard the bang/saw the rumble... then I realized "wow, this is inside the hatch!!"

Completely unexpected, and it now raises a zillion questions of its own. How long has that guy been in there? Was that setup built before him (it had a late 70's/early 80's vibe with the old-school computer and vinyl records), how much time has passed between Jack's surgery flashback and now?

I think the show has really done a good job of bringing us along slowly while keeping me hooked and wanting more.

[sovereignstar]

Ending up *cough* "taping" the show, since I had such bad reception. Will have to watch it later tonight. Will post some thoughts then.

But one odd thing that stuck out to me was that he had what looked to be a very modern (front loading) washer and dryer. 70s style overall and ancient computer technology, but recent appliances. Very odd (unless I was imagining things).

[marshall881]

I saw the same thing. The washer and dryer appeared to be new. They looked like the Duet washer and dryer.

Yeah, my wife said the same thing. When they first showed the hatch dwelling, she said it must be the 70's, and then I said "No way, look at some of those appliances, they seem fairly modern".

Maybe he ventures out of there every few years? Or has an internet connection and gets them delivered?

Someone might know better than me, but I believe it is improper rolleyes etiquette to roll eyes at your own suggestion.

[jamesUMD]

I talked with people at work and here are our observations:

1. The vial he injected had the familiar string of numbers on it
2. the number entered into the computer had the same numbers
3. I believe the button that Walt said not to push is the one Jack almost did
4. The island is the quarantine-not the shaft (as others have said here)
5. The guy that Jack's wife/slash fiance hit in her accident (he died) had the same last name as Shannon
6. the graffti in the tunnel had 108 in it which equals the sum of the string of numbers

[Honolulu_Blue]

Well the Europeans are and have been far more advanced than the US in washers and driers, so maybe that explains the "modern" looking appliances.

[cthomer5000]

Any thoughts on the passage of time between Jack performing that surgery and them being on the island? I could see as many as 10 years being in the realm of possibility.

Also, I've decided that if there isn't some additional backstory with the "brother" guy (the one in the hatch), then it was pointless to have mave made the character someone Jack had met before.

Desmond is in other peoples backstory's as well, so I'm sure there will be many connections to be made with this guy.

Also, go to oceanicflight815.com and click on the barcode on the bottom. Enter "theislandiswaiting" all one word and read the script.

[kingfc22]

I did not catch that the guy's last name in the accident. Probably is her dad if you are correct.

[kingfc22]

Any thoughts on the magnet found in the hatch? Possible radar jamming?

Rutherford, which is Shannons last name. He died at 8:15pm as well.

Damnation! Why did I delete this episode off my TiVO. I knew I shouldn't have done that.

[kingfc22]

Going to have to watch this episode again.

Hey JamesUMD, how did you know what walt said from listening to the episode? Apparently you are correct but he said it backwards and people on the internet have captured it from the audio and reversed it and posted it and that is what he said.

[jamesUMD]

That one I actually have to credit to the radio. A girl on my team at work, heard that one. I do remember Walt also saying that same thing to Locke before they left on the boat though, in the season finale. He told Locke out of the blue, "don't press the button", and Locke looked at him, like "huh", and then shrugged it off.

I am 99.9% certain that they will meet up with the other people from the back of the plane sometime this season. In my mind it was cemented in the recap show when they showed the scene with Rose (I think she only appeared in the first 2 episodes) where she said that her husband is still alive, and he happened to be in the portajohn at the time that the plane broke up.

My thought on the magnet that attracted Jack's key is that, it powers up (kind of like the Death Star), and the magnet , becomes powerful enough to bring down airplanes/drag ships ashore (kind of like a tractor beam).

Desmon minus 1 letter spells what?

Name 2 people that were apparently paralyzed from the waist down and miraculously were able to walk again? There is another connection there but I am not sure what it is yet.

I refuse to look at any of the websites that have "supposed" spoilers. I like the show because it makes me think. It's like watching a puzzle. Obviously I think through the plot too much.

Last thing. In the season finale when they showed everyone getting on the plane they showed Jack sit down on the plane and in the corner, somewhat blurred, they showed another person, that I swear was staring at Jack. In any other show I would not have thought twice about it, but I almost swore that it meant that there was some sort of meaning behind it. The writers think too many things through to believe otherwise.

Just my thoughts. By the way I love the show lol!

[gottimd]

There is no doubt they will meet the other people from the back of the plane. They wouldn't have brought Michelle Rodriguez on for that small part at the airport bar if she wasn't going to appear again.

I am Lost (no pun intended) on at the beginning of the episode it seems like Desmonds underground lair has windows and light (when he is lying in the bed and in the kitchen).

Also did you notice that he was sleeping in a bunk bed? Who sleeps on the bottom? Ethan?
