Good show. I still think they are all dead and existing in limbo or somewhere.

It's beginning to remind me of that 70's movie, "Devils Island" (I think that was the title).

Where they were stranded on an Island and wound up being in Hell.

remember what Desmond told Jack on the steps
"See you in another WORLD"

I knew right then that Desmond would be in the bunker.

Also right after talking to Desmond he goes back to the woman's side to be there when she wakes up. Bam, she has feeling in her legs. Now how does that play into the show or does it

Half of my family gave up on Lost and turned to 24 (Peer pressure from sibs and grandparents). I thought the show last night was good - we can't get the answers or else we quite watching the show. I kinda like the twists and turns. We had thuderstorm coverage the hour before and I was getting very worked up that they would preempt Lost for storm coverage - there would ahve been adifferent storm to cover then!

Grave Dancer, in case you're new to the show, we know that they aren't dead and in limbo, and that the show isn't a dream.

Still, how do you engineer a plane crash in which certain specific people live?

Maybe there never was a plane crash? But, everyone has very specific memories of being on the plane, and being at the airport to board the plane, and everything leading up to them getting on the plane.

One thing we've never figured out is how come Jack woke up so far away from the beach, when everyone else was right at the crash site?

i know when I saw Desmond that it was the guy from the intro. not sure why.

yeah...words that stuck in my head

destiny
miracle
another world
quarantine

he wasn't the same happy, all positive thinking little booger anymore thou huh?

what the hell do have the pirates to do with everything?


I think they are all nuts!!! and everyone who seams to be nuts to them...well they are sane! lol...i dunn know...but I like.

btw: did you see the preview of "the fog"?? I remember the old movie...it was good.


CrazyPace. LOL. I know what you wanted to post. Kate IS gone!! :D

Seems to me maybe he never was an all positive thinking little booger. I can't imagine that he and Jack both being there is coincidence.

And I do wonder what he's doing living in the early 80's? I'm thinking when he met Jack that was maybe in the mid-90's? and we know that time travel isn't involved in the show. So why is Desmond living in the early 80's down in the bunker? Maybe that's when it was all set up and they've never upgraded anything.

I thought the bunker computer and music were 70'S (before Bison was born). But Jack's a young guy so their meeting had to be no earlier than late 90's.

And Walt is alive back on the island. The pirates brought him back - he's prolly hanging out with the polar bear.

I can't watch Arnst blow up too many times. That was genius.

Maybe its something like the Matrix where everyone is plugged in and this stuff is all going on in their heads. That would explain the whispers and people popping up and dissapearing etc.

They are all in a sense bringing to life things from there own lives and imaginations.

HAHAHA, my kids rewinded him blow up like 20 times and laughed way too much.


do you know that arzt means doctor right?

yeah....desmond and jack...something up.
and don't forget what's his name... ethan! why/what was up with him? his name is still on the oceanic air site...if you check the seats on the plane. so there's more.

well, we knew that.

and why would you believe the producers? Do you think they will tell you the truth about what they are doing on the show.

Another tidbit from rewatching the episode, the graffiti on the wall (Uh, new question, why is there graffiti on the wall in the hatch?) is covered with the number 108, 4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108.

Yes, I believe the producers, they wouldn't lie about something like that, only to have it turn out that way, and then have people not watch any of their show's in the future. I'm pretty sure the producers aren't out to piss people off.

From "most" shows, but Abrams is famous enough from just this show that people will remember.

I noticed the graffity too.
Na, I think bison has a point, why would they wanna piss us off. I mean... come on! they want to stay on TV as long as possible. They want to win another emmy.

oh..and again true. I don't remember many producers from series...but I will remember abraham. Only other one I can think of right now is Sloan, but only because he's name is shown on almost every good series.

Bryan my son again told me that we adults are looking too much into this thou.

but if we would...why would they put up a fake oceanic airline site? maybe we the viewers are doing this...we started to see things that wasn't there, now they want to satisfy our needs for a real puzzle. who knows.

no matter what, damn show got me hooked again, and i swor not to get too much into it this time.

I don't know what he produced in the past Ewker, but my point is that he's famous enough now.

People notice when a show is by Steven Bochco or David Kelley, and in the future they'll notice if a show is by Abrams.

Another thing I just noticed, from rewatching last nights episode, they started by showing the end of the season finale, A woman reaches out of the other's boat and throws the bomb onto the raft. I'd swear that she's Jack's ex-wife. But I haven't seen anyone mention that anywhere else.

When Shannon sees Walt in the jungle he tells her something, but it sounds like he's speaking backwards, what does he say?
Bison

Ok, so how long ago did Jack meet Sara? Was it as long as 16 years ago? Did Desmond go to the island when the French scientists did? Or did he arrive later somehow? If he did, how did they install all of that bunker without the pirates or the French chick knowing. It would seem to me that Jack and Sara met less than 16 years prior to the crash.

I think Desmond was using insulin. I'm pretty sure it said "insulin" on the vial. Also, anyone notice the connection of Sara supposed to be paralyzed and recovers and Locke being paralyzed then healed?

Cool our resident German tells us his name meant doctor. Thanks Gem! : )

Come to think of it. There are a lot of doctors and scientists on this show, eh? Maybe they are all part of a scientific experiment.

I was wondering who's shoes those were. I didn't recognize them as Kate's. I should have known, since they were modern and Desmond's things are clearly older.

Don't some electricity generators work because of spinning magnets? Any physics buffs here?
pixie

The hatch had to have been there before the french chick. Momma Cass released "Make Your Own Kind of Music" in 1970, and computers with big reel to reels were 60's technology (that's why I said pre-Bison).

You can't generate much electricity without a lot of fuel unless it's nuclear, and a nuclear plant requires too much maintenance for that application. I think power to the hatch defies physics, like the nuke plant override device on 24 that would have to block gravity over the internet.

I think the athletic shoes belonged to Desmond and showing them was a clue as to who might be in there. He was the same guy guy that was sitting on the bleachers with Jack, right? I didn't catch the paralysis connection. Good point.

I still say they are all dead.

Ok, if those computers and the music are so old, 16 years ago was 1989. So the bunker/equipment is older. The numbers are from which war? I forget. Remember the guy in the mental facility and his partner originally heard the numbers while listening to the radio for the military? Which war was it? Korea? Vietnam? Or was it Gulf? 1989 was the Gulf War...

Also, what exactly did Desmond say about being sort of a doctor? I can't remember. Did he say he was "almost a doctor?" Let's say Desomond is what? 35? No older than 40. Late 60's/early 70's he would be an infant. So why is his stuff so darn old? Maybe he is the son of the original scientists and keeps the old stuff around because it's familiar? Otherwise, I would imagine he would have updated equipment, music, etc.

Maybe all of the folks on the plane took a hit of the Brown Acid, and after a long halucination, they will all land in LA, cotton mouthed and thick headed.

I thought the numbers were from WWII. Isn't that what the lady the fat guy went to see said?
toejam
1:24:18 PM
9/22/05

I don't think that's possible toejam. The two radio guys were not nearly old enough to be in the military in WWII. I don't think they were old enough for Korea for that matter. Had to have been Vietnam or Gulf. I'm guessing Gulf with the "16 year" timeline they keep working on.

There was never any reference to a war in connection with the numbers (I just watched that episode) The two guys who heard them were just stationed at a listening post, presumably in peacetime, and happened to hear the numbers.

So now we have two direct connections to the island.

1. Hurley and the numbers

2. Jack and Desmond

Can't think of any others right now.

The shoes were definitely the same one's that Kate was wearing.

Also, remembering that we know that they aren't dead... we also have Desmond saying to Jack "I'll see you in another life" and the words on the back of the photo that Sayid carries "If I don't see you in this life I'll see you in the next." Wonder if she's going to show up?

Was that Jack's ex-wife on the boat with the others?

What the hell did Walt say to Shannon?
Bison

they have their way with them then throw in then in the ocean for the sharks to eat

It was hard for Walt to talk with salt water coming out of his mouth esp having been thrown up by a shark

radio guys: Thanks Bison. Ok, so not necessarily a war, but definitely years ago, right?

There are a lot of timelines.

Pirate ship. 1700's.
The "hatch"/bunker being from late 60's.
French scientists, 1989.
Drug smugglers plane crash, probably within a couple of years, due to the condition of the bodies and the plane and cargo.
Oceanic plane crash, contemporary.

The Others, ??. Pre-French scientists.

Bison, was there a woman on the Other's boat? I didn't notice. Could it have been Alex, the French chick's daughter? She would only be 16 tho.
pixie
1:45:13 PM
9/22/05

OK, the lady who Hurley talked to put the time of them hearing the transmission as 16 years ago, so that would also be 1989.

It didn't say anything about insulin on the injector bottles, it just had a series of numbers and "RX1" on it.

If you pause at the end of the sequence where Jack is looking at the graffiti you can see that someone has written "I'm Sick"

The shoes are definitely Kate's.

The woman on the boat is certainly older than sixteen, she's blond and looks a lot like Sara, but even when I pause it I can't really tell.

Someone figure out what Walt says to Shannon, I can't really hear it but I'm pretty sure he says something backwards.

okay...no tell me thta's weird...
i checked the injection part.
here what I was able to read:

CR-4-81516-23-

for injection
....[can't read this part] multiple dose....

hm...and did you all notice...the guy got windows, lights... electricity... Tide washing powder, a washer/dryer...

where is the outside light comming from??
what did he execute on his supercomputer?

i got it...they are all game pieces from the first virtual reality game on DOS.
It's weird. the numbers on the injections tell me that nothing is done by accident in this show. there was no way you could read them if you did not replay in slow motion.

Nice Gem, I knew there were numbers and suspected that they'd be those numbers of course, but I hadn't gone back to look yet.

I would presume that the injection is something to innoculate him from the "sickness"
