It plays at 7pm on a Canadian station and then 9pm on an American station here.

It felt totally pointless and didn't connect to anything. It almost felt like a flashback episode.

[lunasol]

Erinjane -

were you talking about tonight's ep? how did you already see it? i'm still watching it!

[erinjane]

What the hell was the point of this episode?

[bunnyb]

I don't think that was Juliet: it doesn't mention in the connections and imdb.com don't have her starring in that ep.

Also, Sayid didn't know the Russian/Dharma/Other; the guy had info on him and Locke.

There appears to be six degrees of separation between everyone on the island with lots of crossed paths.

[ourcrazycatlady]

Wait.... Sawyer conned Juliet?? How have I watched every episode and missed that?

Yeah, the episode where he's conning that family but quits becaus of the boy. At the end it kinda makes you wonder if he will ever con again, but there is Sawyer again, getting out of bed, dropping the suitcase of money with his "oh darn I'm late" shtick. That second woman was Juliet. I wish I had both seasons on DVD so I could double check!

[edie52]

Wait.... Sawyer conned Juliet?? How have I watched every episode and missed that?

[ourcrazycatlady]

And I still want to know where Rose and Bernard are, dang it!

yeah, dude, did they fall off the island?

Oh yeah, does anybody else think that John's dad is the guy who conned Sawyers parents?

I'm also wondering who knew who before the plane crashed. We know that Hurley was with Libby in the mental hospital, Jack and Claire are related, Jack met Desmond, Charlie met Desmond, Jack's dad met Sawyer days before he died, one of the women Sawyer conned was Juliet, Sayid knows that Russian dude that Locke pushed into the field, ect... I think right now the only person I can't connect to the island is Kate and Sun and Jin. And the people who died.

*edited* I found this link on abc's lost site. I quite using the message boards a while ago. (The boards are not the same, lots of "who are your friends" and "will harry die" which don't fit imo) Anyways, http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/connections/index

It makes connections that I missed!

[kittenb]

Well, I think the other day someone said they had been on the island for three months. So she is probably about 3-4 months along?
In island time, she probably only told her husband about the baby four days ago. j/k

[kittenb]

I think the previews want us to believe that it is Sun who is workng with them. She has enough other mysteries.

[kittenb]

also, anyone else convinced Locke's dad is the original Sawyer

Oooooooooo. Good idea...

[bunnyb]

wow, that episode rocked (I watched it last night).

The exchanges between Locke and Ben were fantastic; I love Locke and Ben is so evil.

kittenb, I don't think he was in the hold because Ben said "bring the man from Tallahassee" so he was obviously somewhere else... also, anyone else convinced Locke's dad is the original Sawyer (the conman who caused James' parents deaths and who he wants t kill)?

wow moments were the sub blowing up, Locke's father pushing him out of window (the scene from Hurley's accountant's window, part of the numbers curse?) and Sayid telling Alex that she looked like her mother.

all the best lines (bar Sayid's to Alex) were between Locke and Ben, some great writing there and those two can definitely act, it was so electric between them.

I was still a little bored with Jack and Kate; how many times did she have to ask "what did they do to you Jack?"

[quietmadness]

I had the feeling he was gonna blow up the sub...it was a way to get OFF the island, and then he might not walk again.

And I knew his dad was going to be what came out of that box. The box manifests whatever they think about. So, if that one dude (sorry--loss for names. brain fart.) thought about the sub being blown up, the box brought about a way for that to happen. If Locke thought about his dad, the box manifested him.

Other than that, I'm still confused about everything. I love LOST, I just wish they'd kinda get on with it and give us something concrete!

--Quiet--

[kittenb]

I will triple the sentiment that it was the best episode I have seen in a LONG time. Even the Jack stuff had me rivited b/c it had something to do with the rest of the story.
Locke blowing up the sub just floored me and I gasped when his dad pushed him out the window. Did anyone else think it was odd that Locke's dad looked like he hadn't aged a day? Locke looks about ten years younger in the flash back. I know it's only been about 4 years, but I have always felt that Locke's dad looked too young.
Now I am trying to figure out how long the dad has been in the hold.

[tart]

No way! (at least, not unless we totally forget that it's Wednesday, which has happened more times than I like to admit...)

I'm with you. Banche - best episode so far this season, I'd say. Heaven forbid, we get some kind of progress in the island-as-what -now? story arc; Jack shows a shred of bastardly self-interest instead of the perpetual Dr Do-good; very nice fencing between Locke & Ben; and finally! we find out WTH happened that put him in a wheelchair. Good shit.

[lunasol]

Lunasol and Mermaidgirl, it was one of The Others. It happened in like, one of the first episodes of this season.

Wait, are you talking about someone being gay? I think I totally missed that.

Thoughts on this week's ep? I enjoyed it a lot. I was glad to learn that (semi-spoiler in white) Claire was not as perfect as we'd been led to believe. I started clapping when they revealed who her father was - I've been in the camp that thought it was Christian ever since last season.

Can't wait to find out what happened to Locke next week!

[prophecy_grrl]

I actually started clapping while sitting on my sofa when I saw that Sayid would be the focus. It’s about time! Wasn’t his last ep in season 1? I also enjoyed last week's Hurley centric ep. Can’t say that I’m missing Jack at all. Now, just a little less Kate and Sawyer and it will be all good.

[ImDancingBarefoo...]

I was so so pleased with the Sayid-centric episode this week. Have any of you seen Bride & Prejudice? It's a remake of Pride & Prejudice done Bollywood-style. "Sayid" is in it and he sings and dances. It's great.

Lunasol and Mermaidgirl, it was one of The Others. It happened in like, one of the first episodes of this season.

[LoveMyPugs]

Same here. I've learned to just enjoy the show and not analyze it too much. I also don't have cable tv so I have to watch the reruns on the abc website. Didn't watch last weeks yet.

[kittenb]

I didn't even realize how much I missed Sayid until I saw him the other week. And then I was like Hello!

This part of the season has been more fun to watch. I learned that I enjoy the show more if I don't examine it as hard.

[bunnyb]

bump for lovemypugs,

the thread hasn't been in action since the new stretch of eps started, which isn't too bad. enjoying it more than last season; enjoyed last week's ep (was so feel-good!) less angsty/I'm in charge Jack will be good and I think things are finally being answered or at least on the road to being answered.

major problem with this season: not enough Sayid! oh, and WHY would Claire cut herself a fringe (bangs) on a desert island after she'd been there for over six weeks? Pfft.
