What the hell was with all the people standing out the front of Jack's cage? It's so frustrating how the characters ask questions and get such vague answers in return. But I guess it makes you want to know more. One day this show will actually answer something properly.

Didn't see the importance of the gift either, but it's probably a cultural thing. And why did she resist so much? Well just look at the beating Jack took at the end.

About the people hanging outside the cage, makes you wonder about two ideas given in the episode and from what we've seen in the series. We've been lead to believe and a couple of instances that the abducted people were given a better life from what they would experience in the Island. We've also seen that the Others have technology and methods to brainwash people. So it's hard to tell what they are actually doing with those abducted people, and if they are currently in the camp because of their free will or because they've been tricked somehow.

It is a culture thing, because "Outsiders" are not meant to have a tattoo like that, and describes a persons inner nature. That was her gift also, she was able to see the inner nature of people and have it be external, so that everyone may see.

As for the people, I keep thinking back to the season finale, when Desmend's Ex was notified about the explosion.

Ep 10 was good I guess, just a filler ep really. Still, it's another back story to show that each character was running away from something before they came to the island.

And does Alex look way older than 16 to anyone else?

I didn't care much for the episode, but it had a bit of character development for some... Tomorrow's episode should be good though, I think eye-patch guy is going to show up.

Wishmaster is back!!!

Anyways, yesterday's episode was good. I really thought that Sayeed was telling the truth about torturing the woman, so I liked that scene were he broke down at the end. The chess game was nice too, and Locke is pretty dumb and too curious for his own good. And finally, Hugo dominating in ping pong was nice... I was hoping they would show more of the game.

Good ep, although I was wondering, why did the Russian guy bother to lie to them and heal Sayeed, what was his plan? To capture them, to find out what they know or what? It didn't really make much sense to me. I can't imagine what he hoped to achieve by keeping up a charade.

Also, has anyone found out what they were saying in Russian towards the end there? Someone must have translated it somewhere.

EDIT: Found a translation, not linked due to possible spoilers.
Basically she was just saying "you know what to do, it's an order" and he was replying "there must be another way, I'm sorry".

What was he to do? He was outnumbered, with guns on him. Plus he probably has some instructions to not harm them, hence why it seemed like he preffered to be killed than killing one of them. Who knows.

nice to know that destroying the swan bunker had more side-effects than they originally led us to believe.

What kind of spoilers could there possibly be if this week was the newest episode?

Oh, there may be theories there, possibly ones that end up being true. I know many people don't like reading theories but rather just watch each ep as it comes. Can't hurt to warn.

Really? People make theories all the time in like....the naruto manga....
But it shouldn't bother anyone cause they're just that: theories

A bit off topic, but I read a really in depth Lost theory a few months ago; it cited many different little details and several aspects of the show so far as evidence and was obviously really well thought out. I started to mention it to some people or post links and some people were all like "aargh that makes way too much sense, I feel like it's ruined".

So ever since then I try not to take chances. :p

Ep 12 was pretty amazing. Very interesting what we found out about Claire. And WTF @ the end!!

Yeah, this was an awesome episode. I thought Claire looked hot with the black hair. And Jack's dad keeps showing up everywhere, now Jack and Claire are siblings? So far we've seen Jack's dad having a connection with quite a few people. I remember that at least Sawyer and Ana Lucia also had a connection with Jack's father.

And what a way to kill the Wishmaster, I thought those sound pillars were awesome. Jack at the last scene playing football was priceless. So what do you think happened? You guys think he's brainwashed or something? Or just making the best of his situation? I myself think he has the hots for Juliette, so he's playing along.

Gothic claire did look hot. Seems like everyone in the show had some connection to Jack's dad, which is cool. I dont think Jack was brain washed at all. He's made his deal with them, and I dont think he views them as evil anymore. (For one he's playing football with one of them :P) I mean he's already been promised to leave that place, why wouldnt he get along with them for the time being.

I can see him having the hots for Juliette as a possible reason for staying there. He could have accepted the fact that he wouldnt be seeing Kate and the rest again after the whole Ben surgery incident. So it would be better to get along with them then being locked up.

And why would Jack want to go back to the other side of the island anyway? Its a piece of crap. Aside from the fact he was promised a way home, the others living area looks pretty awesome. He also saw Kate and Sawyer screwing so i doubt he'd be going back for her, especially when he could get Juliette ( A woman who hasnt screwed Sawyer :P).

Next episode seems to be a Locke centric episode, and those almost always turn out to be good. Hopefully we'll learn more of his wheelchair problems and shit.

No one seen this episode yet? It was great... I think some mysteries have been explained a bit.

Anyways, LOST got renewed:

http://www.tv.com/story/9152.html?om...dlines;title;2

Yeah, it was awesome. I still find it weird how suddenly Jack was able to be so friendly with them. Even with the deal, he has always been so bitter and stubborn; seems strange for him to be like this.

Very interesting about Locke. And WTF @ the end.

Annoying how we get so close to having age-old questions answered and they dance around it but never actually give any answers, but that's the whole point of course. I found it interesting that Ben didn't know how Locke was cured, I always assumed he knew all there was to know about the island.

Last night's episode was a wierdass episode...

I knew they were paralyzed, but I wouldn't have imagined that they would be burried alive... man that was an awesome ending to the episode. I also liked how these two were probably the biggest criminals from the survivors, well except for the great Eko.

eh.....alot of it felt contrived, the way they tried to stick the two into scenes from the first 2 seasons. Zomgs lets throw Ethan in for shock value! Also, John and Eko's discovery of the Pearl has been severely downplayed with those two finding it first. And of course, gotta conveniently show Ben and that one woman climb all the way down into the Pearl room just to look at an image of Jack and talk about him out loud to each other.

Hopefully, the survivors will find a use for the walkie talkie that they left in the camp, otherwise those two will have contributed nothing to this season.

I actually liked those scenes, they were comical... and I thought the beginning of the episode set the atmosphere correctly, with the chick doing some shitty acting in a shitty show with shitty music in the background. I think of it as an episode to lose tension, but still not drifting too apart from what LOST is... most of the episodes this season have been pretty intense. I mean, don't you find it funny how Sawyer and many of the survivors didn't recognize them? I thought that was pretty funny and played in the absurdity that we viewers see as two survivors take the centerstage, two survivors that we've never seen till season 3 and we suddenly have to accept that they have always been around... the survivors themselves are as confused as we are.
