Yeah, it was kind of ridiclulous that Richard didn't age at all. Maybe they did that so the audience would get that it was the same guy- he's kind of a minor character and Richard is such a generic name, so maybe otherwise we wouldn't have made the connection (though surely someone over at Lostpedia would have been on top of that shit!).

I don't think that little girl could be Rousseau. Rousseau is French, and she has a slight accent. Also, I believe her story about having crashed on the island and having her baby taken from her by the others, meaning that Ben is not Alex's bio-dad.

So many Daddy issues on this show, eh? It's almost getting to be too much.

[waves_of_splendo...]

Apparently there was a picture of Vincent (Walts dog) on the wall in Jacobs house.

Whoa, Daisy, I totally didn't notice the picture of Vincent--that's really creepy.

Did everyone see the flash of Jacob when Ben got thrown back against the wall? I thought I was seeing things, but it was for real--they posted a picture on lostpedia (the best distraction ever). He definitely gives me the creeps.

Holy Giant smoke monster batman!

WTF was up with ladt night??

Apparently there was a picture of Vincent (Walts dog) on the wall in Jacobs house. Also - someone mentioned something about seeing a spaceship near where the hippie vans were but I didnt notice.

Also - did anyone notice that that sexy Richard guy didnt age AT ALL? Ben was what - 12? Now Ben is around 35 and Richard looks the exact same. A little time travelling mayhaps?

Is Rousseau that little girl from Bens childhood?

I have sooo many questions in my head its fucktarded.

I like how no one stopped Locke from kicking patchy's ass. Even when Ben asked. I think we are on the verge of a major upheaval of power here. On the Others side AND the Losties side.

(Side note, when i got to work and typed in bust.com it came up as blocked because of 'swimsuits' I was sooo pissed that all my work wasting fun is gone and I tried it again and it worked! Lets hope it stays this way....)

SPOILER ALERT Locke couldn't see Jacob, and told Ben he was off his nut & a liar & a fraud... then the freaky Blair Witch shit started. Locke turned to go & heard a deep & garbled "help me". He turns around & whips out the flashlight that apparently he forgot to check at the door, and the place explodes - jars breaking, shit flying everywhere, lots of fast-cut action, so it was hard to tell exactly what was going on. Locke hightails it out of the shack, with a creepy calm Ben coming out moments later, saying something dour... Locke alludes to going back & revealing Ben's batshit craziness & turning the Udders against him. (Badass move, Locke, sure; blatantly revealing your plans to unseat ArchNemesis in the middle of the jungle, not so smart, maybe.)

They head back, but Locke calls Ben out, fully aware they're going the wrong way. Ben takes Locke to the mass grave & pops a cap in him after hearing what Jacob said to Locke.

But it's OK! It's the island! Where some people die, and others conveniently heal at 100x the normal rate of recovery! Give it an episode or two, and Locke will come shambling back out of the jungle, mango & bowie knife in hand...

I don't think I can take 3 more years, honestly, unless there's some kind of major payoff to tide me over. This season's episodes are really, really good so far, but come on, give a girl a biscuit.

I do, however, appreciate the casting of background characters, this week especially - Napoleon Dynamite's Uncle Rico & Pump Up the Volume's babe-of-interest...

I watched last night's eipsode but I was dozing off for most of it. Can you fill me in on anything I might have missed?

I got the big picture stuff like Juliette told Jack about Ben's plan, everyone heard the tape, everyone knows about Naomi. I wasn't awake enough for the part at Jacob's house. Did Locke see Jacob? Did Jacob talk to Locke? Then, of course, I saw Locke get shot but I don't know why it happened.

I spent some time literally bouncing on the couch as I sat to try to keep awake but it didn't work.

[come on eileen]

Kinda glad that there's only 3 more seasons left. I can't imagine this show going on for more than 6 seasons anyway.

[erinjane]

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...7050701832.html

48 more episodes...stretched over 3 years.

[mermaidgirl13]

Politics of abortion aside, I'd love to see Juliette be shocked and angry if Sun messed up her pregnancy with herbs.

Although, at the same time, I feel bad for Juliette. But I still dislike her. I feel like if she really hated Ben that much, she'd at least be more than willing to offer the survivors some information on what's going on. Maybe she doesn't for a reason that has yet to be revealed. Obviously Ben is holding something over her but without the submarine, she's sort of lost hope right?

[DaisyJane]

Well, there are several herbs that you can use to terminate the pregnancy. Hasnt there been several episodes where she does herb stuff?

Also - did you see they gave the show 3 more years and then its done? They said they have it all laid out in a timeline and everything for the next 60 episodes or whatever. Nice to know at least there will be a resolution at some point.

[kittenb]

Yes. Jin thinks it's a miracle baby.

[mermaidgirl13]

But who would terminate her pregnancy for her? Jack probably wouldn't (nor would she trust him to) and Juliette, well, that's even less trust and more unlikely that she'd even do it. Poor Sun. Does Jin even know she's pregnant yet? I forget.

I wonder who the focus of this week's episode will be.

[kittenb]

I was so ready to slap Kate when she went running off to Jack. Why does she need to tell him everything? Argh.

I thought it was great the Rousseau just waltzed in, picked up the dynomyte, and Locke was just like "Later." That was a classic moment to me.

Looks like we might be getting a little closer to finding out what all of "this" actually is.

[DaisyJane]

Ooooook mermaidgirl i totally agree with you.

WTF? Why does Kate trust Jack enough to tell him something that important, especially after he told her to tell her that in front of juliette?

Now that Kate knows that pregnant women DIE on this island, why is she having sex willynilly? Didnt she hear what Juliette said and know that pregnant women have issues?

What youre saying about the plane having the dharma symbol would tell ALOT. It would mean that the crash was simulated - but then who are the bodies in the 4mile deep trench at the 'other' wreckage?

Yea. My vote - Sayid is the new leader guy! He has the most military experience, seems to be logical, and hes cute. Why did they chose Jack again?

Urgh that episiode made me mad. And Im subbing in an elementary library today. The next kid who comes in here is oging to hear "Does your mommy watch Lost? Do you? What do you think about Kate being pregnant? If this is true, that means two women will be kidnapped from the camp and given drugs to maintain the pregnancy. And also - why is maintaining pregnancy on the island so important? Who gives a rats ass, am I right? I think Sun should terminate her pregnancy. What do you think?"

**kid runs away crying**

[DaisyJane]

Sorry mermaid, I cant read your post.
Mr.Daisy plyed my last night with wine and totally fell asleep halfway through the show. I woke up and the freakin NEWS was on.

Sooooo that means that Im going to watch it right now on ABC.com and yes, I am at work.

Booya.

[mermaidgirl13]

First of all --- WHY OH WHY did Kate run to tell Jack about Naomi the pilot if "no one trusts him" anymore?!?

Stupid Juliette with her smirking.

This episode didn't have a flashback... I guess unless you count the flashback of Locke's last eight days with the Others.

I wonder what Rousseau is going to blow up. She's probably going to try to get her daughter, or something having to do with that.

Apparently, if you freeze frame at some point during an episode that shows the crash wreckage on the beach, their plane has a visible Dharma logo. So maybe their plane crash was totally simulated, which would explain why there were so many survivors with only cuts and bruises.

I love that they trust Sayid. I think I'd trust Sayid the most too, aside from Jack, who can't be trusted anymore.

Think what Juliette and Jack were debating about telling Kate was that she's pregnant too? I wonder what kind of contraception they have on the island. And if it would even work against the men's island-super-sperm.

[DaisyJane]

Yea i understand that theyve created this little pseudo-society but come on. No matter what Jack says - as soon as they bring an Other into camp youd think there would be a big uprising and burning-at-the-stake of juliette. I mean. No one wants to know about the smoke monster? Polar Bears? Horses? Hatches? Anything??

Maybe there WILL be a mutiny of Jacks leadership. Its about time.

And yeah - wasnt Lockes dad tied up in a room a long time ago?

[mermaidgirl13]

I'm pretty sure it's not purgatory (as much fun as that idea was) because Michael and Walt wouldn't have been able to "leave" (neither would anyone else, like the guys who took Juliette there).

I didn't even think about Kate being preggers, although she has the possibility now that she's been with Sawyer twice.

DaisyJane, you are so right about how annoying it is that they aren't grilling Juliette. They wouldn't get anything out of her probably, but I can't believe they are letting her live there even if beloved-Jack vouched for her.

Looking forward to seeing Locke again tonight. I'm dying to know what happened with his father, but also hoping that Ben gets killed. That might free Juliette up to actually tell some truths!

[DaisyJane]

So the island is going to turn into one big baby fest?Then charlie and Claire will do it and get preg again, then Jack and Juliette, then Hurley and...Rose....No? Alex?

Now two weeks ago, didnt Juliette say to Ben "See you in a week."
so when is Bens crew coming back into town? And why?

One thing I dont understand that kind of makes me mad - why arent they just getting answers? They have Juliette RIGHT THERE. If I had a woman who was part of a group that tortured, killed, kidnapped my people I would beat that bitch down until I got rock solid answers.

I got the first season on DVD and now boyfriend is staying up til 2Am watching it every night to catch up with me.

[tart]

Nonononono! The writers, they promised! No purgatory, no aliens, no time travel (with a possible Desmond exception)!

If they go that route in the end, I am so dropkicking my TV...

[mermaidgirl13]

The pilot definitely spoke a few different languages. When she was speaking Italian, I think she said "I am not alone" or something with the word "alone" in it.

It was creepy when she told Hurley they found the plane. What's with that? That and the fact that eye-patch came back from the dead sort of affirm the theory that they are purgatory.

Speaking of Michael and Walt, I wonder if we'll ever find out what happened.

Sun and Jin's backstory is such a sad one. It makes me sad that they are genuinely in love but so many things got in the way of their happiness.

Jack was creepy too but unless they full-on brainwashed him like they did to Alex's boyfriend, I still trust him. I was thinking about how he hooked himself up to pump blood into Boone and then decided that he wouldn't do anything to endanger Sun.

Speaking of Boone, when he was in the drug plane, the radio voice came from the tail-section survivors. I think Boone said "we're survivors of flight 815" and the voice said "we're survivors of flight 815" Awww.... makes me miss Michelle Rodriguez's character (forget the name) and Libby.

I'm glad Locke will be back next week!
