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....

So, I have a feeling that the Locke - Sawyer rivalry will be better than the Jack - Locke rivalry.

Shit, i got stuck watching Inside the NBA and forgot about it. Off to torrent the damn thing.

kcxiv · 04-25-2008, 05:35 AM

Holy shit. I dont think its possible for a TV show to get any better then this. This show is pure greatness from top to bottom.

I gain more and more respect for Ben each week. He was a bad ass this week.

Chiefnj2 · 04-25-2008, 07:16 AM

Great episode. A few random thoughts: (a) a doctor doesn't know he has appendicitis?, (b) when the "extras" received their scripts they must have been like - wow, I get to speak! Oh no, I get shot 1 second after I deliver my first line!, (c) did the bald headed guy kill Sayid's wife, or was it set up by Ben? (d) interesting that Ben and Widmore have a long established set of "rules", (e) Ben's winter coat makes you think he transported from the island to the arctic (where the Portugese team is?) and then to the desert, (f) if you were one of the beach people wouldn't you have shot one of the freighter people in the leg in order to start getting some real answers?

Ben pops up in...Tunisia!?! Not to mention, he's wearing Edgar Halliwax's parka with a new DHARMA logo on it, presumably for the Orchid station. Was he time (and space) traveling? Sure seems so. He appears to have an injured arm. Is this in any way related to the prosthetic arm of the real Marvin Candle/Edgar Halliwax/Mark Wickmund? Does utilizing the Orchid Station cause this injury somehow or was Ben escaping from someone who had injured him?

Also, when Ben is first shown he is shaking and it appears that some sort of steam or cold is emanating from him, indicating perhaps that he has just arrived from a time travel episode. He also vomits, and it appears to be orange in color, very similar to the drink that Julie had to chug before she was taken to the island. Was this the same stuff? Is it required for time or space travel?

I know some of you feel that Smokey is kinda dumb, but seeing the hyrogliphics on the door that Ben goes into, you kinda have to wonder if the island was some sort of accient community? When Ben went down into the cave he summond Smokey.

Also, when Farraday called the boat with the morse code and lied about what they said about the doctor, does anyone think this could have something to do with the time lapse from the boat to the island. He may really be alive and well on the boat, but dead at the same time on the island.

Uh, Battlestar Galactica.

But this is pretty damned good, too.

I love the way Sawyer has adopted Hurley.

Kate wants it bad, mock slipping her shirt off for Jack, goo-goo eyes for Faraday's every move. She's a jager shot from arching her back, moaning and ending up chained to Samuel Jackson's radiator.

DL: Here's the scoop for Popular Mechanics: According to the rules of our show, a communication between sat phones is not affected by temporal distortion, but if you were to send a radio broadcast and/or a telegraph message, it would be affected by temporal distortion. That's the scoop for Popular Mechanics and Popular Mechanics only, and it will make a lot more sense after you've seen the first episode back.

Great episode last night. I've always thought Ben was a pure badass, there hasn't been a situation that he can't get himself out of.

Chiefnj2 · 04-25-2008, 10:56 AM

I think there is a break in logic.

Widmore sent the freighter to (a) locate the island, (b) grab Ben.

Presumably the freighter captain told Widmore they found the island and people tried to row to it, and/or the copter took off for it.

When Ben meets Widmore he tells him the rules changed since Widmore's guys killed his daughter. That should tell Widmore that his expedition in finding the island was successful.

Then, why does Ben tell Widmore he can't find the island and they are each in a race - Widmore to the isle and Ben to Penny??

He's like an evil geeky James Bond.

Thanks of the Popular Mechanics comment on Sat. Phones vs. Telegraph Baby Lee. I wondered about that.

I wonder if the Hieroglyphics in Smokey's cave read "Proudly Manufactured in Mu"?

Either that or the Hostiles/Others have a wicked sense of humor.
