wow... i'm kinda surprised at the relative lack of activity on the board. that was such a revealing episode.
good to know the "scary baby snatcher" lady actually is a good person just looking out for her own too (for now at least).
i have to give props to the prisoner guy too. he's keepin his composure in there and playing some games/politics to help himself out. he had a good read on locke and pushed the button at the right time.
also, if i were on the island, i would have put together a communication network somehow. there's such a wealth of information they all have, but it's here and there, and they can't put together the pieces which are hidden by secrets...

Did anyone think it was extremely uncarachteristic of Locke to flip out and throw all those dishes around like he did? It just didn't look right.
Aye, I was a little lost ( 
) at that point. He's so calm and collected. I think that prisoner guy got to him. Or maybe the whole situation? Maybe Locke thinks he's the guy in control which is why he was calm, and with the prisoner doubting his position Locke got a little upset?
hmm.

That's the best theory I've heard yet. A psychic ghost floating around. It would tie everything together. The smoke could be an actual fire deep within the island, it's manipulated by the psychic. When Locke was caught by it and he said it was going to be okay, maybe he knew that a friend was doing all this. So he wouldn't really be hurt. nah that's a long shot.
Akira is top. Loved that film.
Needless to say, whenever the next episode is out all these theories will change again!
It was a good episode, revealed alot.....Pretty sure the guy locked up is indeed one of the other's, he's being very sneaky in an attempt escape...
Saying this the first season still ruled, its all becoming a bit too far fetched in my opinion...

I figured that was the deal with the lack of response. I was really really hoping that people weren't just blind to it, its rather blatant.
I think J.J. Abrams likes his shows to have a little of everything: action, romance, mystery, twists and surprises, and religious overtones as well. Since mystery is still the biggest factor, I don't think it's overdoing the politics.iDM said:
If you put random people together on an island in dire circumstances, chances are some would be religious and fall back on it in order to cope, so that could be considered realistic. Of course, one theory is that these are not "random" people.
Mr. Ecko may have been a (sort of) priest, but Locke has seemed more spiritual, and it is clever that they play that against Jack's science background.
Doctor Q said:
Mr. Ecko as a priest ok, having to baptize the baby for it to be safe.......alright i'll toss that one up to a random religious overtone, but the "others" wanting to poke and probe and steal Claires baby to me is just a touch to much pro-life (A play on the mis-information neo-conservatives and religious nutcases like to use about abortion being some alien procedure where the baby is murdered.) I'd be interested if someone could provide any info on the writer/writers background. I'd like it to be wrong so I can keep watching Kate but I just have a feeling that they are sending half their money to Catholics against Abortion.
If proven wrong I'll keep my mouth shut about any further subliminal messages i get.
I posted that 2 days ago, because I spotted Jorge Garcia (Hurley) in "Our Time Is Up", a film nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.Doctor Q said:
Tonight I saw the movie Crash, up for 6 Oscars itself, and spotted Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) in a bit part!

Religious overtone is simply an easy to use plot device. Sometimes it's suttle, sometimes not too much. Eko is trying to find salvation/redemption because he feels guilt, so pretending to be a priest is a good way to show it. Locke wants to be philosophical, and remember, religion is philosophy. There are more subtle religious hints, as there are scientific (though more sci-fi) and emotional/psychological. The baptism is also a plot device. Charlie wants to "save" the baby, but he also had to look crazy. You're reading too much into the thing with the needles and when Claire was pregnant though. I have a feeling it's a lot more sinister and has nothing to do with abortion.iDM said:
If I'm wrong, it wouldn't really make any sense.
iDM said:
I can assure you that JJ didn't create the show to be a mouthpiece for any religious viewpoint. Trust me on this.
BTW, if the show was pro-catholic, I don't think they'd employ an adulterer, a lesbian, multiple dui convictee's ( is that a word?) and someone who dumped their spouse for another cast member. It's not exactly the cast from the lawrence welk show...
I've heard about the Lost Widget before, but I see it now saysSilentPanda said:

Heres a leaked photo from an upcoming LOST set. Be warned: This picture CONTAINS SPOILERS.

I think it does suggest that the captured "other" at least has a basis to his story. Enough to create some speculation to weather he is telling the truth.rickvanr said:
Dont you think?
I'm a little skeptical of that image also... we've seen images "leaked" that never panned out. For example, the image where the counter reaches zero was different from the current one in the hatch, and was then implied to be a counter from a different hatch. We saw that wasn't the case... at least yet.
Other examples: the supposed lost pink script sheet which revealed Lostzilla. Hasn't been debunked yet, but has yet to be proven also.
I'm with rick, that image means nothing at this point. Unless I see the actual episode, purported spoilers have to be taken with more than a grain of salt. Is it interesting to speculate? Sure, but it doesn't mean all that much at this point.

awesome, definitely going to download that when i get home. Has anyone tried it out to see what happens when the timer runs out?
note, an interesting thing about that picture...
remeber, desmond was on an "around the world race" before he showed up on the island. it might have been specifiically mentioned that he was on a boat, but i don't think so... mayhaps the dude just saw the balloon and fabbed up his story in case he needed it sometime.

The others have already shown they have considerable resources. They could have easily planted it there. However, it will probably be enough for the characters on the show.
