I figured I would start a thread for this and see what happens....there seemed to be quite a few viewers on the board for this show the past few weeks.....I like the direction the show is taking so far......episode 3 tonight at 7 central on ABC....

He opened the previously guarded hatch doors and they were fake, the rock face was directly behind the doors. He starts the signal fire and that's when Jack realizes Walt set them up in a new location. This begs the question, was it just dumb luck that he didnt sail the way around opposite the dock where the Others took Jack and co?

There's a blurb on scifi.com's wire this morning, and apparently the themes for next year are....(drum roll)....learning about the Others...and.... .... romance.

Yay.

Ugh.

Anyway, while I enjoyed the episode, I have a problem grasping the whole Desmond storyline, or, rather, the timeline. The stuff in the stadium took place 3 years before the events on the island?

I got the same feeling...I felt like the Desmond flashback was a bit thrown together. The whole Penelope searching for the electromagnetic build up is terribly hokie. *edit* same with the 'foot' statue with 4 toes.

Dunno, but the Sayid shot I was talking about, on the boat, was in the montage towards the end, after Jack and co. were captured. So I think he just went back to the boat. I suppose that doesn't preclude him from sailing around the rocks to the dock. Wherever it is. Although it might be miles away from where the village was. I don't think that was established.

How is Hurley supposed to get back. He had a bag over his head the whole way there.

I kind of liked the giant 4-toed statue foot. It tosses the potential for mythology or lost civilization, that the island is maybe something more than dharmaland.

Do I have the Desmond story correct.

He was in the Scottish army but got tossed in jail and was dishonerably discharged. We aren't told why he was in jail except for that he didn't like to follow orders.

Prior to entering the Army he was in love with Penelope the daughter to a huge developer. The developer (Whitmore) didn't/doesn't like Desmond. He takes all the prison notes intended for Penelope and tries to buy off Desmond.

Desmond thinks he can win Whitmore's respect by winning a global yacht race. He lucks into Libby at a Starbucks who gives him her deceased husbands yacht.

Desmond races, gets in a bad storm, bumps his head and winds up on the Island with the CIA guy who taught Sayid how to torture.

Do we know how the CIA guy got on the island?

The CIA guy pushes the numbers daily but keeps Desmond in the dark and lies to him about the Island being contaminated and vaccines and airpacks, etc. Eventually Desmond pushes tough Mr. CIA guy and kills him with a simple bump on the head. That very same day during the struggle on the rocks, the countdown reached zero and by the time Desmond made it back to the hatch there was a buildup of nanometers that were released and caused the plane to crash.

I'm missing what exactly the key does. Does it serve the same function as entering the numbers?

Why wasn't Fenry alarmed when the sky turned colors and the piercing noise started, etc?

You got it right...

The whole meeting of Libby and within hours(?), over a cup of coffee, she's giving him a sailboat that belonged to her dead husband. That kind of stuff happens to me at least semi annually.

Well, she was crazy.

Do you know if turning the key reset the system or turned it off completely?

The group of losties will be better served if Kate, Sawyer and Jack are all executed. They don't communicate enough to be effective leaders.

I heard that, too. It certainly sounded like 'Jin', though I'm not sure if it wasn't just a noise...

I listened to it a few times. It seemed to be at least as much "Jin" as the bird's noise was "hurley". Or moreso. It may have been just a musical beat, but if it was, they sure made it stand out.

Jack may possibly be Alvar Hanso. Due to the fact that he has never been seen alone with an other, and no serious harm has come to him on his stay on the island. Jack is a good man witnessed by his sacrifice of immense amounts of blood to Boone to save his life. Alvar Hanso has been described as a "good man". Anytime he has been set back, it is easily explained. Like a fight with Ethan Rom where he couldn't win and used his wounds as proof that he had been bested. Ethan Rom may not have also known whom he was.
Could still look so young because of all the scientific pursuits of the Hanso foundation.

The little cover said 'System Shutdown' or something to that effect. Im guessing it was a power off type thing.

**Rausch** · 05-25-2006, 02:30 PM

Also looks like I was right about the captured other being the boss man.

**noa** · 05-25-2006, 03:01 PM

My impression as that the key blew up the entire hatch (which is why the door came flying down from the sky), so wouldn't Locke and Mr. Ecko have been killed?

**buddha** · 05-25-2006, 03:04 PM

I kind of liked the four-toed statue. However, knowing the writers for this show, they won't come back to it. I agree with the earlier poster that wondered about what has happened with the killer cloud, the invisible beast, whatever was producing polar bears, etc. One of the most random elements on that island is the memories and continuity of the writers.

With that said, it's still one of the few shows on TV that I make a point to watch and actually look forward to.

However, if they kill off Evangeline Lilly at any point, they are toast!

That was my impession as well (on both counts).

My question is how that would possibly help alleviate the geomagnetic buildup that the button was used to prevent.

And what was the original point of the swan? The button was a response to the accident, wasn't it?
