I don't think that's who it is, bunny. We saw him in Sayid's episode.

[LoveMyPugs]

edie--I guess Nadia showed up in Locke's flashback where his dad's in trouble with the mob, too... I read about it on EW.com's recap of the Charlie episode (Doc Jensen has a theory that Nadia might be an important connection, since she's showed up a lot in flashbacks). I've been wracking my brain, but I can't come up with who she was in that flashback. Does anyone know/remember?

Sorry, but I went back to read the archives. Locke meets Nadia in an episode where he is doing a home inspection on a house she is buying. It's when his supposed "dead" father is parked across the street in a car with tinted windows.

Back to present (future??):

Are the Oceanic 6

Kate
Sayid
Jack
Hurley
Aaron
Ben

or do Aaron and Ben not count and we have two more to go???

I know I'm late to be saying this but when Locke asks Ben what the black smoke is I was literally standing and screaming at the tv, "Just tell me what the motherfucking black smoke is so my mind can be at peace!!!!" Seriously, I just want to know what the t-rex sounding black smoke is. I could die a happy woman just knowing that. Loving this season.

My vote goes to Ben is in the coffin.

Just read online that Sun is one of the Oceanic 6.

Think I'm going to stay away from this thread. I don't think I'm helping the conversation or my own mental status.

[bunnyb]

My money is on Ben for the body in the coffin; we know he's off the island and it's likely that nobody would go to his funeral. Besides, I don't think Locke will leave and I think the remaining two of the Oceanic 6 are Sun and Jin.

I'm resisting their 'we're really going to start telling you things now, honest' pitch though. I'm not buying it. It's like Ben with his teasing, info-withholding ways is actually the voice of the creators.

definatly


"The Juliet-Jack kiss didn't do much for me."-edie

ok, juliet and jack. big no-no. juliet is too mature for jack. it doesn't fit.

and i've also been windering if locke is the man in the coffin but i seriously doubt he'd leave the island...

[edie52]

I didn't love this week's episode. I guess partly because I'm not a Juliet fan- but I don't love to hate her either. She's a bit boring. Though her position on the island is interesting.

The best part was when Ben was like "because you're MINE!" And she was justifiably horrified. And then he looked a little flustered and insecure. The look on his face at that moment reminded me of the actor who played younger Ben. I'm glad they found a good young actor who looked so damn much like him for that flashback, it gave us a lot more insight into his character, IMO.

The Juliet-Jack kiss didn't do much for me.

I feel like they have been telling us more this season. But when there are answers, there are always twice as many more questions.

So I'm definitely convinced now that the man in the coffin with no one at his funeral was Locke. Considering the rift that has formed between him and everyone since he basically went psycho.

[sybarite]

Okay, so this week's epi wasn't as amazing as last week's, but I still liked it. I'm resisting their 'we're really going to start telling you things now, honest' pitch though. I'm not buying it. It's like Ben with his teasing, info-withholding ways is actually the voice of the creators.

*Must. resist. Michael. spoiler...*

[bunnyb]

I know! Supposedly we find that out in episode 8.

Regina -the voice on the sat phone- is played by Zoe Bell, the stuntwoman who plays herself in Death Proof. She rocks and I'm looking forward to seeing what she brings to the show.

Did others pick up on Charles Widmore bidding on something (the ship's log of the first mate?) belonging to the ship (can't remember its name) that is shipwrecked in the middle of the island (the one they found the dynamite on)? Also the Hanso Foundation were mentioned in the auction lot.

I read that the creators' vision for the next three seasons is to see who gets off the island and that they need to go back this season, next season is all about why they have to go back and the final season is about them going back (!) and what happens.

[kittenb]

I KNEW IT!

[edie52]

Whaaaaaat?

[bunnyb]

Re Michael: (do not read this unless you really want it spoiled; I came across it by accident) there's talk of him being Ben's man on the boat.

[erinjane]

Well I just checked imdb and it looks like Harold Perrineau is coming back this season for more than just being 'listed in credits'.

[kittenb]

I watched it. It just took me a few days. Yes, epic is the word. I really loved it. And there was some really good acting going on last night, too.

[bunnyb]

*warning, spoiler-ish link* I came across this link to constant/Oceanic 6 theory; makes sense to me. I raised the point before about Kate, Jack, Sawyer and Hurley being the four Michael was sent for so knew the number was important somehow... Sayid we know about and whenever I thought of the 6 I thought of Sawyer, Jin and Sun as potentials and nobody else.

eta: syb, yes saw it over weekend. As above link suggests, I like the idea of the time travel/side effects only affecting those with exposure to radiation (hatch explosion) and that will not count the Oceanic 6. It would explain why Daniel has note to self about Desmond being his constant as he has experienced porolonged exposure to radiation.

[sybarite]

Last night's episode was epic, the best I've seen in ages. More sci-fi than usual with the whole time travel thing, and the suspense at the end...!

Hasn't anyone else seen this yet?

[snow white]

wow, big duh moment for me! i didn't even know kate called him "aaron". that makes so much sense.

i want them to go back to unravelling the mysteries of the island b/c it feels like they're neglecting that part. the story is getting a little too splintered and mis-directed for me. like what about the statue with the big freakin' toes? or did i make that up myself?

[bunnyb]

They really seem to be going back to the beginning and not exactly tying up loose ends but at least acknowledging that they have to be tied up still... like the mentions of the smoke monster and the polar bears again. I finally feel as if some of the puzzle is coming together although I also found out it's a much bigger jigsaw than I originally thought!

[mermaidgirl13]

I was waiting to see if her son had dark or blonde hair to help determine if it was Jack's or Sawyer's but of course Lost script writers won't make it that easy. It was a great ending and I like that they tied it back to the fortune teller prediciton. I so often feel like things we were given as teases in earlier seasons are never referred back to.

[bunnyb]

I don't think she's necessarily dead... I think that she may give him to Kate to protect him. Or maybe Kate kidnapped him. OR she could be dead and that's why it hurts Jack too much to see his nephew so he doesn't. Remember what the fortune teller told Claire in season 1? that an other would look after him. Nicely done, script writers.

I also don't think Aaron is one of the Oceanic 6 he wasn't on the manifest but born on the island so another two reveals to go!

I am loving this season.

[kittenb]

So did everyone else get that Kate called her "son" Aaron? Am I the only one who missed it and thought she said "Eric?" So I guess that Claire must die or something b/c no way does she let her son leave the island w/o her.

[snow white]

ok, so who do you think kate has hooked up with in the flash-forward? i'm hoping it's sawyer but i guess ya never know.

i'm so glad they brought back the polar bear and "monster" elements. i was starting to wonder if they had forgotten about them.

edit: oops, i didn't know bunnyb already threw that out there about kate.
