Did the people in time zones other than the west coast get to watch last week's enhanced episode??? I'm having to put up with Dancing with the Stars instead... :(
 
I see my guess was right about it being Desmond in the locked room on the sub. It made the most sense.

The best line of the episode (and maybe the entire series) was when Sawyer said: "Of course not. That would be ridiculous.", in response to FLocke saying: "Well, if I could change to smoke and fly to the other island, don't you think I would have changed to smoke and flown away from here entirely?" (not the exact dialogue)

Oh yeah, one more thing: I just want to say a big F.U. to ABC for showing that stupid V countdown for pretty much the whole episode. Which idiot exec said:"No, a giant red "V" won't be distracting to the audience.":rolleyes:

When the show cut to black I had a nice glowing V in my plasma.:mad:
 
I'm abit surprised that people were complaining of lack of progress in other episodes but didn't pick at this episode at all.
Maybe it's because I woke up very early to watch it, but this last episode just felt like an extended episode trailer. I'm racking my mind but can't find one moment noteworthy, and the reveal that Desmond was the weapon (which we predicted here) felt like I was back in school reading an R. L. Stine book where each chapter was crap and would end with a lame "surprise-whats-coming-next?!"
 
I liked the extended restaurant bit, though it was ultra obvious that Sun had been shot (2 shots fired in her general direction off camera? impact!). I don't like how they ended it without any idea of Sun's condition.

A bit of a dull, uneventful episode I thought.

No, we had DWTS in the Central Time Zone also. I watched the first hour of Idol instead, first episode of that I've seen this season. What a disastrous bunch of singers they have this year (the ones I saw, anyways)!
 
I'd say anything that could have shown this week would pale in comparison to last week's episode but I certainly agree. There was really nothing worth talking about this week.

I was really hoping it was going to be Walt they had on the sub.
 
Well we did discover that certain members of the others did time travel. We found out how Mikhail Bakunin lost his eye. He lost it in 2004 and was wearing an eyepatch in 1993 ?

He lost his eye in 2004 in the sideways episodes. In 1977, he was in the original storyline. That's not time travel; that's fate... no matter how his life was changed... always destined to lose that one eye. I guess you could call that irony!

because, you see, its his eye... and irony starts with.... forget it...
 
Fate told him to wear an eyepatch 10-20 years before he lost his eye ?
Not sure if you're joking... If not, in last night's episode, he lost his eye in 2004. That is in the sideways universe; the what-if time line when the plane never crashed. When we saw him in previous episodes, it was during the regular time line when the plane did crash.
 
He originally arrived on the island in 1993 :

Bakunin told Sayid that he grew up in Kiev and joined the Soviet Army, performing years of unpleasant actions in the service including a stint in Afghanistan during the war between the Soviets and Mujahaddin. During this time he became familiar with field medical treatments. Mikhail was eventually stationed at a military listening post in Vladivostok, located in the Far East of Siberia on the Pacific Ocean. In the early 1990s his military unit was decommissioned, and he was released from the Soviet Army. He claimed that at the age of 24, he replied to a newspaper advertisement titled "Would you like to save the world?" and was recruited by a "magnificent man." He eventually ended up arriving on the Island around 1993. Before he was revealed as being one of the Others, he had claimed to be a member of the DHARMA Initiative, but later confessed that this was not true. ("Enter 77")


Of course I could be confusing Lost with the iPad shipping threads. They are both very confusing!:p

You got me! Now I'm laughing and forgot my point....

Glad I'm not the only one who was bitching about it out loud! LOL

Are you talking about the end where Jack was talking to Sun and asking her questions? If so, we saw everything she wrote him.

We would have seen everything if there wasn't this big "V" countdown clock IN RED pretty prominently displayed on the screen the whole episode! Grrrrrrrrr

It was placed right over the last message Sun wrote to Jack...

Just for that, I'm boycotting "V" (not that I liked the last series or this lame reproduction all that much anyway).

With all these shows dissapearing, I'm going to have to go out and find something to do again! Hmmm, lose weight, leave the house, holy crap I have a life again! LOL

Agreed. Even worse is when the ads are large enough to cover a sizable portion of the screen. I hate them!:mad:
 
^^^ ABC are a bunch of tools.

^^This is the right answer.

In last night's episode, Mikhail Bakunin didn't lose his eye- he was shot through the eye and was killed by the bullet.
 
So does that mean that Sun will have a miscarriage/still birth (I don't know the gestational age so don't know which one) on the Island timeline and possibly die?

We don't know if Sun lives or dies in the sideways timeline yet. Perhaps we'll find that out next week.
 
Just sat down and got to think for a few minutes about last nights episode...

If Desmond is the islands "constant", could it be Desmonds destiny, along with Widmore's search for the Magnetic points on the island that brings the timelines back together again?

A lot of parallels running together again. From the silly, Jin bumps his head in one reality, Sun bumps her head on the island. To the curious, Ben's continuing attempts at redemption (helping Sun after she hit her head). To the offbeat, both Jin and Desmond have father in laws that hate them!

We saw Sun take a long hard look in the mirror again. More reflections?

Flocke telling everyone his plan to take the plane. Is he a Con man much like Sawyer, going for the long con? Is Sawyer falling for it even though he's telling everyone (Sayid and Kate) he's with no one.

Is he hoping the final candidates get on the plane to have Widmore blow it up in an effort to keep Flocke on the island? Only to have Flocke be free because there are no more candidates to replace Jacob?

What does this episode tell us about jumping to conclusions? Jin's injury was assumed to be torture in the last episode, but we come to find out it was an accident. I assume this is some sort of foreshadowing going on. Patchy gets shot in the eye, cruel, but Patchy had 9 lives on the island (not to mention one eye ;) ). Was anyone surprised to see Kearny??? turn around and warn Patchy?

Sorry, typical LOST episode, lot's of new questions, no real answers. Lot's of random thoughts on where this is going...
