There are other examples in the show of characters "wishing" for something to happen shortly before it happens: Walt always rolls the dice that he needs when playing backgammon, Walt wants it to stop raining (so his dad Michael can go look for the dog) and it stops raining, Locke predicts that it's about to START raining and it does, etc. There's a theory that something on the island is manifesting the hopes, fears, etc. of those on the island.

I'm glad you pointed this out. People seem to be forgetting something Locke said to Charlie when they were digging through the wreckage in one episode where Charlie wanted his guitar.

Locke said something along the lines that you have to give (or maybe it was ask for) something to the island for something in return. Later, Locke points up to find Charlie's guitar stuck in the canopy of the forest.

So we have an island inhabited by insane/religious humans and some sort of crazy monster or alien, but it somehow gives you things.

That is very interesting. I think that might be a key to the whole island.

Discuss... ;)
 
Walt is magical! This episode just proves it. I think it's pretty apparent now that the things Walt imagines happen.

I think the comic book may have foreshadowed some events for us.

And, discuss about Claire! WTF?! That next new episode better be here after next week...

The actress and actor that play Shannon and Boone said they are about 4 episodes ahead of what's being played as far as production goes, according to what they said on Loveline a couple of nights ago. 23 episodes.

Married with Children. They flushed a season that featured Peggy and Marcy pregnant. Katy Segal had a miscarriage and out of respect for her feelings they called the whole season a dream. It was also the start of Bud as Grand Master B.

Ah, I think you're both forgetting St. Elsewhere, which strongly implied that the whole show was merely a fable being told to a little boy. The hospital itself existed in miniature, in a snow globe.

That's Right, I completely forgot about that. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few more out there.

Thats right! The whole thing was a dream of one of the character's autistic son.

I guess at this point writing everything off as a dream has become a bit passe'.

The whole show is starting to remind me of an episode of star trek.

Maybe he'll imagine a rescue plane showing up.

I predict that Claire will be dazed and confused, and recovering from delivery, not knowing what happened to her baby. She will have reoccurring dreams about it, with quick flashes showing a baby crying and other people around. As the dreams get more detailed, they will provide clues about where to go on the island, aided by Sayid's maps. Maybe it's time to rent "Rosemary's Baby" (or some "Gilligan's Island" episodes).

Who will win the last remaining deodorant sticks? That could be very important to the plot!
 
As always, it was good to get more information on another set of characters. The whole thing with Walt wasn't explorer too much, but still an interesting story line.

Another thing - have you ever seen his dog and the "monsters," whether polar bear or other, in the same place?? If the next episode has the dog with a cut we'll know!

Speaking of which - what's this with repeating an episode already?

Come to think of it, we haven't seen Hurley and the polar bear at the same time either. And they both like meat.

Since both Walt and his dog seemed to hear something before they got separated, I don't think the dog morphed.

Could Walt have caused the plane crash in the first place?

I am kinda of afraid of that.

A lot of things are pointing to it all being caused by Walt.

The thing is the French woman acknowledges the polar bears, but there is evidence that they are caused by Walt and the comic book.

Would that mean that he caused the French woman? Was she formed from whole cloth or was she stranded in anticipation of the crash?

How long did they say she had been stranded?

Did Claire get kidnapped so that Walt wouldn't have to deal with a younger sibling?

Is Walt responsible for Locke walking? Did they meet before the crash? Perhaps waiting for the plane and did Locke regain or gain the ability to walk in response to a desire of Walt to have a hero around?
 
Walt also see in the comic book an island that has a crystal dome on top of it and what seems to be some sort of castle/palace.

Walt could have caused the crash since he was hesitant to go along with his biological father in the first place. And when Walt gets angry "things" happen as stated by this adopted father.

Very interesting indeed, could this all be Walt's imagination while trying to read the Spanish comic book on the plane.

Was Claire found since Charlie wanted it to be so. Interesting indeed. :)

I don't think we saw Walt reading the comic book on the plane... we first saw him reading it on the beach, after the plane crash.

And I don't think that Walt's the only one with abilities... the island may intensify everyone's abilities to some extent or another.

We do not know much about any character, we have not even seen Walt's flash back or past yet. We do not know this if he was or was not reading the comic on the place before the crash.

Yes, the island just amplify people abilities however, what makes these survivors so "special". That is the answer.

What is the "Black Rock" that the french woman was speaking of and why is it so important, in the comic there was an illustration of a "Black Rock", could this be what was in reference. We might not know since the comic book was thrown in the fire.
 
Did it seem to anyone else that Claire is no longer preggers? You only really see her for a couple of seconds and leaves and stuff are kinda blocking the view, but still seemed alot skinnier now.

And whats with a friggin rerun already?! :eek:

Since next Wednesday is not a U.S. holiday (unless you start celebrating Groundhog Day a week early), I suspect that filming is not keeping far enough ahead, so they have to delay new broadcasts until they catch up, as they did with Alias last season.

I think it's been mentioned before, but I'm pretty sure she's no longer pregnant. There was some speculation previously that she will not have any real recollection of having delivered the baby, but will get some sort of dream flashbacks.
 
Finally a new episode, and it did not disappoint! Sawyer helping out was a change hah.

PS, Jack's a champ
 
I'm still interested in a couple of things:

1. How is it that Jack, who previously had the crap kicked out of him by Ethan (who is apparently stronger than he looks, judging by how he picked up Charlie), was able to single-handedly whip Ethan's butt so quickly?

2. Now that the guns are out in the open, what are the ramifications? Previews for next week give us some indication, but I would think there would be some serious problems.

3. Was the Korean guy just trying to feel out if his wife knew English or what? It seemed odd that he was pressing her so much for information. It also would appear he doesn't speak English, but hard to tell still.

4. No real trauma from anyone that one of the people was killed. Oh, Scott's dead. Okay, let's play golf.

But still, good episode.

He had the element of surprise, he felt more powerful because he (for the first few seconds) had a gun, and he was so mad his adrenaline was up.

I thought that at first, but then I realized that everyone but Sawyer would probably be willing to their gun back to Jack for safekeeping/hiding. And Sawyer already had one.

Just a guess, but I think he's suspicious about her hanging around with the others, but still doesn't realize that she speaks English.

Why wasn't everyone at the funeral? Did they keep it secret from the majority of the passengers?
 
finally got around to watching it...good episode.

did anyone else catch the humorous reference to " the office"?

I'm almost positive he saw her talking to Michael in an earlier episode
