I was under the assumption that no one from Dharma was supposed to leave the area because of the hostiles so not sure why his dad, the janitor, would have such an important code.

Jacob gave it to him.

Jacob gave it to him.

Are you serious?

Hahaha! No. I was going to add "Dum, dum, dum" after it but I feared someone would think I was calling them dum.

I wonder if they'll ever explain how he got that code.
And I still think Annie is going to resurface too.

I didn't think there was any way we would have missed that. Of course I didn't see any dude sitting in the chair at the Jacob shack when I watched it either.

Speaking of the Jacob thing, I just can't imagine there being a real person. Its something else. And the ageless doctor, it just doesn't add up.

When was the first mention of Jacob in the lost series?

Did anybody jump when young Ben was in his room and he turned around and his mom was standing in the window? I sure did.

I think the first mention of Jacob was when Jack, Kate and Sawyer were captured and the Others were rounding them up. One of the others said "Jack wasn't even on Jacob's list".

Someone on another site claims that during a Lost podcast the writers said that Jacob is someone we haven't seen yet. So maybe he is real? Or maybe it's just a play on words?

And does anyone else see what the writers did this episode. They were able to waste a lot of time in Season 3 on the Others and Darma. But now we find out that there's a whole other group called the "Hostiles". I can see a lot of season 4 being about them and their background.
And then in season 5 we'll learn all about the people from the Black Rock, etc until they have enough shows for 6 seasons.

Well they probably will have to go back and talk about the hostiles who came in on the Black Rock and whiped out the native population. The other thing about the hostiles is that they were "strapped". So they'll have to explain how they came about with automatic weapons, etc.

While the show is entertaining, the writers have alot of explaining to do....or do they? They can leave out or add as much stuff as they want, leave whatever they want unexplained, and no real ramifications. They tossed aside the numbers which was basically the root of season one. Spent season 2 on the tailies & the hatch, but none of that really matters now because the tailies are dead, and well the Dharma initiative was just a commune type research facility that really has no bearing on the story any more either. The writers just lead you down another path while not really explaining why they deadended the original path.

I thought the hostiles were the others?

Re: ***LOST Official Season 3 Discussion**** (Contains West Coast spoilers)

my interpretation is that theres the hostiles, and then theres the dharma people. The people that are with Ben are the hostiles and have been there for a while. Then Ben came to the island with the Dharma crew but left them to be with the hostiles and then they eventually killed off all the dharma people. right?

You're correct, the hostiles are now the "others:

Anyone think Jacob could be the "smoke monster"? The smoke monster taking forms such as Walt, Echo's brother, and Ben's Mom. Then again I still have no idea how you explain it.

Re: ***LOST Official Season 3 Discussion**** (Contains West Coast spoilers)

Alright just making sure. Everyone's talking about learning about the hostiles...but we have been focusing on them.

During the video, you could hear them say that the code changed everyday and that it was the only way to pass through the fence. So someone had to have the code, plus for them to get to the other stations, they had to pass through the fence. So someone gets the updated codes each day, all he had to do was get to the computer.

I understand what you are saying, and I am sure you are correct, but considering the dharmas were armed and afraid of the hostiles, it seems risky to lower the fence. Weren't there underground tunnels beneath the stations?
