Ug…I suck so bad. I sat down and watched TV and played some Madden yesterday and COMPLETELY forgot the dang show was on. Now I have to avoid talking about it and hearing about the latest episode for a week. Thank goodness they show the previous episode…I just have to make sure I don’t forget next week.
And from what I’m hearing it was another interesting episode…
ARGGHHH
Stevo
decent episode, a story continuer/builder
Theory of the week…
Time Travel!!!
The answer is Time Travel. I think that is what the experiment was all about in last nights episode and what the boat is really there for… Just like Einstein’s stopwatch in Back to the Future, last night there were 2 stopwatches with differen’t times! I think the rearrangment of the pictures on the wall of the Grandmothers house last week is linked to this as well!
FUCKIN AYE I WAS NOT NEAR A TV FOR THE THIRD EPISODE!
so as of now I will refrain from reading any of this thread and go to abc.com and see if that works.
ha ha, great read, so u have two aim screen names eh neck?
is this shit real, did u really break up with your girl b/c of Manny and Lost?
Thom’s fucking with us.
anyway I was able to see the Sayid episode and I loved it as he is my favorite character. I’m wondering if Sayid will ever return to the island after this episode…maybe we’ll only see him in flashforwards from now on, which would suck. But wow, Sayid working for Ben in the future…the lines between what we thought were good and evil are definitely being crossed.
I’m liking this season more than any previous one I think! So much going on!
yeah tis a good season so far, i just hope it doesn’t stall out
From the Bill Simmons mailbag on ESPN:
Q: I just heard on the radio that there was a charity giving all the pre-printed championship garb of Super Bowl losers to needy children across the world. In all seriousness, I would first like to commend this cause – it seems quite worthwhile. It would be hard, however, not to find some humor in this effort, right? Imagine the creation of a Bizarro Sports World in third-world villages across the globe. Craig Morton and Neil O’Donnell would be worshipped as heroes, and the Vikings and Bills would be celebrated as unbelievable dynasties.
– Josh, Oakland, Calif.
SG: And it would be the one place where everyone thought the Patriots went 19-0! I always thought it would have been a great running joke if a plane crashed on the “Lost” island carrying boxes and boxes of pre-printed championship clothing to third-world countries, so the castaways starting wearing the clothes on the show and thinking that those “winning” teams were the ones that won titles in 2007. Come on, there’s still time to work this idea into the show. We have three more years! Wouldn’t you love to see Hurley wearing an XXXL “2007 COLORADO ROCKIES WORLD CHAMPIONS” T-shirt?
Hilarious!
It’s 2004/2005 according to Lost’s timeline. Crashed in Sept. ‘04, it’s 90+ days later. But I’m pickin’ up what you’re layin’ down!
Thursday bump!
haha I’m watching this Sayid episode for the fourth time. Those things on the bottom of the screen are cool…I forgot that Nadia said she was sent to the island BY Penelope Widmore, to get Desmond…but then I remember her telling Charlie she had no idea who Nadia was, and we know the scary black dude is the one who sent them on the mission…I don’t know it just made me think.
But it is quite fucked and unexplainable how the freighter people knew who Desmond was and had a picture of her…
^ Naomi. Nadia was Sayid’s girlie!
ok, here’s what i don’t get…
pretty early in the episode, kate’s lawyer is trying to get her to allow him to bring her kid to court. i thought he said he wanted to bring the kid in as a character witness, but how the eff would an infant be a character witness? (maybe i was just assuming that’s what he meant and he never actually said that, maybe he just wanted people to see her as a mother?)
by the end i totally guessed that the kid was Aaron (when Kate said she wasn’t pregnant)
oh, and i seem to recall from the season preview that there was a huge explosion in the woods that made everyone jump…i think that’s Miles’s mouth grenade.
So, the six:
1-Jack
2-Hurley
3-Sayid
4-Kate
5-?
6-?
(probably not Claire!)
Would Aaron be considered one of the Oceanic 6?
Also, I wonder if the “he” that Kate was referring to at the end of last season (when she meets Jack at the airport) was Aaron. If that’s the case, then that little sentence held very little weight in the grand scheme of things, although at the time, it was disected to the …nth degree. Just a thought.
I also think that the whole time travel thing is definately what this is all about. I think that Dharma (and the freighties) are in a battle with Widmore to gain control of the island because that holds the key to time travel. Without going into too much detail (because sometimes I lose my train of thought in all this) I think that Mr. Widmore (Penny’s dad) is not in with the freighties as they are part of the Dharma crew, and they are trying to gain control of the island and time travel. Ben works for him and the Oceanic six also work for him, except they don’t know they work for him. They just think they work for Ben. Widmore wins control of the island, and they are using the Oceanic six (more like Syid) to off the rest of the Dharma people who might try to gain control of the island. It’s a battle that goes on after the six return home. The rest of the Losties stay on the island to keep control of it and keep any Dharma people the show up at bay and don’t lose control of the island.
Make sense? I didn’t think so, but I think I’m right!
so it’s widmore/others/six vs. dharma for control of the island?
sounds pretty logical to me…
and yes that would make sense that it was Aaron that Kate had to get back to at the end of last season
God, I suck. I forgot it was on AGAIN. I seriously put a sticky note on my desk this morning that says “Thursday means LOST!!” in big letters. I now will be staring at it 1,000 times a day. I ain’t forgetting again, dammit.

Well you gotta see the episodes you’ve missed before you watch next week, of course…
and my bad Bigb…I meant Naomi. I thought I had that wrong.
OK after watching the episode a couple more times i have some thoughts and then this weeks theory.
with Eggtown we had a bit of a political undertone, with Kate discussing with Locke whether this was a ‘democracy or a dictatorship’ and Sawyer calling the people ‘sheep’. The title ‘Eggtown’ is basically a reference to a quote by the Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin ‘To make an ommelette, you’ve got to break some eggs.’ This is intensified by Locke making Ben the eggs in the opening and how Locke ends by stuffing the grenade in Mile’s mouth…
In Bens House Hurley playing VHS? Olivia Newton Johns Xanadu

::HELICOPTER SCENE BUMP!!! !!!::
^i like it bigB. back to the future, shiny sports almanac style…hmm
I’m not forgetting this time!! (Even though I’ll be missing the first half of MSU/Wisconsin to watch). I had to go back and read about Episode 3 where it has Sayid working for Ben at the end and I’ll be watching these last two episodes in a row tonight. Can’t wait!!
