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.

Desmond did say that he was on a boat and was shipwrecked on the island.

ya.. in fact, i think he was on his trip around the world, because i doubt he would really swim through the ocean.. maybe it was a bicycle ship.. where pedals power it;) ..

I don't keep track of names and such but didn't the guy "in the hold" say he was going around the world via hot air balloon?

Exactly, yeah, I'd buy in to that story.






NOT! HE'S ONE OF THEM! LOOK OUT! DON'T BE A FOOL JACK!

Seems like he's trying to fool with Locke first.. I was kind of surprised actually how quickly and forcefully Locke responded to such an obvious trick.

I'm pretty sure it has been mentioned already but can't be bothered searching, but the "guy in the hold" says his name is Henry Gale, the name of Dorothy's uncle in The Wizard of Oz books, who left Oz in a hot air balloon.

Was it Dorothy's uncle? I thought the Wizard left Oz in the hot air balloon and that the wizard was the traveling magician Dorothy met before the twister.

I could be mistaken but I haven't seen it in ages.

Neat catch, and we already know that he's pretty well-read based on his conversation with Locke.

The thing that annoys me most about the characters is that they won't pool their information. I know that they don't really know each other, and that it helps drag the story out and create more conflict, but I find their inability to trust each other so infuriating. If they'd tell each other what they find in the jungle/other hatch/etc they'd be much better off. But I guess they're all shady or full of their own secrets.

well a lot of time i think they do pool thier information. you are expecting characters to explain everything to other characters, while you already know it. it seems strange, but in the end i think it would just be a waste of time to see them explain all that.

ex. i assume locke told jack about what happened when the counter ran down to zero. if not, then i definately agree with you.
 
I know it's daft bringing in real life when talking about Lost, but many people aren't naturally open and wouldn't necessarily share all the information with each other for whatever reason.

It would be a highly unrealistic bunch of people who at the end of each day sat down and discussed everything that happened to them that day. You're right, it would make everything a lot easier, but I don't see it happening.

Now, whatever happened to those polar bears...:)
 
ya.. good point.. maybe there were only two.

the other thing about the polar bears is what exactly makes them think they are polar bears? i havent' done any more research on this, but black bears can be black, white, brown, or red. (not 100% sure about the red).

hmm...
 
Mr. Gale, the prisoner, is lying.

Would you like to know how I know that?

Because we've been led to believe he's innocent. The poor guy was found captured in a net, looks sad and scared, keeps protesting his innocence, was beaten by Sayid, and appears to know nothing. He's a hapless victim, a good guy, and we should feel sorry for him, right? Which "proves", in J.J. Abrams' world, that he's going to turn out to be the opposite of that.

I agree... the writers are almost trying -too- hard to garner him sympathy. He very well may have crashed in a balloon, and he very well may have lost his wife to a "sickness"... but he also very well may have met the Others, been taken in by them, and is now trying to infiltrate the Lostites -OR- perhaps he himself has this "sickness" and killed his wife because of it.

all it takes is one look at the last shot of his face in either of his episodes, and you know he is one of them.

I completely agree! I watched the last episode with a few friends who kept INSISTING that Mr. Gale is innocent. I mean SERIOUSLY, you'd think these people had never seen a broadcast TV show before, whenever they have male prisoner insisting innocence he turns out to be full of it.

Look at it this way, Danielle redeemed herself in this episode as an honest trustworthy character with a few screws loose. Obviously they're trying to hint to us that deep down she knows what she's talking about. If they did this whole episode to reveal a) what happened while Claire was kidnapped and b) give us a new found trust in Danielle then WHY would it be logical for Gale to be innocent?

On another note.. I'm a little nervous about the eventual Locke/Jack confrontation.
 
Hey, look! Jack made the front cover of Newsweek!

OK, it's not really Jack, but that was my first reaction when I saw the cover of the issue that came out earlier this week.

Hooray! New episode tonight!

A question about Walt. How old is the actor who plays him? Has he changed much since the show started? When kids are in TV shows, you can often see changes as the actor gets older, whether or not the character is supposed to. If the show stays on for years, his character would necessarily have to get older too. That's not a problem for this particular show, but I'm curious whether Walt already looks different than when we first met him.
